Did you all know Retinol is deactivated once its exposed to light? I just learned that light deactivates retinol within just 2 hours. 
So, I'm using my  my collagen and niacimide during the day, saving the retinol for the nighttime! #skincare #retinol #serums #lotion

Retinol: What you need to know!

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about skincare. In my last post I let y'all know something I hadn't known (that retinol is deactivated by light after 2 hours, so night time only). A lot of you were unaware of this, so I figured I'd start sharing more of what I've discovered when it comes to skincare routines so we can all look our best without accidentally damaging our faces or counteracting the effects of our products by mixing ingredient we shouldn't.

In my research whilst trying to learn more about how to best care for my skin, I found these informative graphics about which skincare ingredients to never mix. 

If you're like me, and a total skincare addict, and have a lot  of products in your bathrooms or on your vanities, definitely screenshot this page and refer to it before you add anything to your routines!

Here's a list that may come in handy to help you choose the right ingredients and products to get your intended results (without ruining your skin).

Never Mix These Skincare Ingredients

I loved everything about these cheekstains, including the case the blushes are in. Super cute and sturdy with the perfect sized mirror.

I received three of VDLs Cheekstain Blushes after winning a Picky giveaway, and I have to say I absolutely love them. I am not usually a blush girl, but after trying this soft, velvety blush I am, now!

This cheekstain applies and blends beautifully, with natural looking pigments that add a pop of color with a bit of a sheen to it.  The end result is a subtle blush that accentuated my  cheek bones and had me looking naturally radiant all day long. 

Shades: 
Favorite Lavender: A gorgeous pale lavender with a bit of shimmer that gives a sexy touch  for a night out.
Well-made Orange: A bright pop of color which  looks natural and gives a radiant, sun kissed glow.
Hey Gorgeous: This pale gold cheekstain is so shimmery. Doubles as as a highlighter!

I love when I get to create a look with new products I never used before. I also added a bit of the Wellmade Orange blush to my lip gloss and it looked gorgeous.



Nothing at all! I love this product. Its perfect for cleansing everyday and my face feels great!

This cleanser is heaven on my skin. I often suffer with dry spots around my nostrils during NYC winters, as well as redness, and this cleanser just works wonders for me.  The formulation is very unique (see video for texture) and it gently exfoliates rough areas beautifully. It is very soothing when I apply it and leaves my face feeling refreshed & clean. It's has also helped to even my skin tone. Definitely a great cleanser for all of my dry skin girlies. I love it.

If you're a matte girl (which I was prior to finding this product), you should know that there is a slight rose gold shimmer to this foundation (which I actually love). Still, buy this. You can always use a mattifying powder over it. The price and quality are pretty tough to beat! E.L.F. rocks!

If you haven't tried E.L.F.s Halo Glow Liquid Filter yet, you definitely need to go get you one of these in your shade asap! I bought mine in shade light/neutral (I'm wearing it in my video so you all can see how lovely my skin looks). 
OMG, I am so in love with this formula. 

Light to medium, buildable coverage that leaves my skin looking natural and flawless? Yes, please! 

I am super impressed with the way this foundation conceals, highlights, smooths and brightens the skin on my face. It really is a liquid filter, yall.  

It applies and blends beautifully, and has a light sheen that gives an extra sparkle to my skin and really helps cover any flaws or problem areas you might have. 

The applicator brush is super cool as well (I actually think all foundations should have the applicator brush E.L.F. produces).

I have recommended this foundation to a lot of friends and they were all as wowed by Halo Glow Liquid Filter as I was.

This is definitely a Holy Grail item for me. A must have perfect for makeup beginners and experts alike. 

Nothing at all. I made a longer video but couldn't post it here but this long wear color is everything they said it is and more. Absolutely love. And the lipstick case doubles as a mirror. Well done, YSL.

I got my Influenseter box and had to review here on Picky as well..

This YSL Beauty  new Rouge Pur Couture Satin Color Lipstick (with ceramides)! 

I have been waiting for this gem to arrive and it did not disappoint! 

I cannot accurately describe how incredibly soft and luscious this formula is. You simply *must* try it for yourself to experience the utter silkiness. Formulated with natural extracts, this is lipcare and amazing color all in one amazing package. It lasts all day long, and did I mention how perfect the satin finish is? 

Well, it is simply the best a longwear lipstick has ever felt on my lips in 25 years of wearing makeup. 

I love this stuff, and just in time for the fall and winter when dry, chapped lips threaten to terrorize beauties everywhere. 

It is rare to find a long lasting lipstick that doesn't leave your lips feeling a bit parched, but Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Satin Color Lipstick hydrates your lips and pampers your pout, giving total vavavoom vibes all day long.

Definitely a new favorite of mine. You need to feel it to believe it. Go get some @sephora , like, now. It is so worth it!

Thanks to Influenster for this life changing lippie!

Nothing at all. I absolutely adore everything about this pallette and wouldn't change a thing!

This is my Holy Grail go to pallette! Heimish nailed it with these beautifully pigmented shimmers and mattes. The colors are gorgeous and I can use this one pallette to line, highlight and even blush & contour in a pinch. You can't go wrong with this beautiful collection of shades.
