Blue and yellow is such a nice colour combination that I wanted this look to be matchy matchy. Everything seems to go these days and I love mixing different colours together, but its fun to colour match as well.

Blazers are a great piece to add to any wardrobe for a quick dress up or a dress down look. Black, white or grey {neutrals} are always great to have as they are professional and sleek looking. On those casual days, opt for a bright colour to add a little pop to an outfit.

MAKING A STATEMENT



Making a Statement

What better way in making a statement than dressing in bright bold colours for this spring and summer. I have been having my eye on those gorgeous neon yellow heels for some time now that I think I might have to take the plunge and purchase them. If you're not the type to wear bold colours in clothing and/or accessories, then just add a bright pop of colour on the lips.

Have a great Easter long weekend, xo!!

JOSIE MARAN PURE ARGAN MILK REVIEW




Today's beauty review is on the new Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment. Since I raved and told you guys how much I loved the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil Light, I knew that I had to try the all new Pure Argan Milk and incorporate this product into my daily beauty routine.
 
This Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment just came out a few weeks ago at my local Sephora and I was immediately drawn to it as soon as I had set my eyes on it. I had read the package and talked to the beauty consultant about it and went home that night and did a little research on it before I bought it. I had watched the Josie Maran video on it and it definitely made me more excited about the product that I went out the next day and bought it.
 
This Pure Argan Milk is 100% natural and pure, just like her regular and light Argan Oil's. It has powerful antiaging benefits, it's lightweight, very intensive and it absorbs right into the skin leaving your face with a healthy glow. It has a blend of microdroplets of 100% pure Argan Oil infused in purified water, allowing the skin to be deeply nourished and hydrated.

The Argan Milk is made up of two important ingredients for skin health. The purified water is to hydrate and plump skin cells, restoring the skin's healthy cushion and the microdroplets of 100% Argan Oil is to feed and preserve skin cells, locking in hydration and protecting the skin from UV, toxins, stress and the environment.


I have been using the Pure Argan Milk- Intensive Hydrating Treatment for a few weeks now and once again I am absolutely in love with this product. Josie Maran has done it again and she seriously knows what she is doing when it comes to her oils.


 The Pure Argan Milk works hand in hand with the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil, whether it's the regular oil or the light oil. You can just use the Pure Argan Milk alone and use that as your daily {morning and night} moisturizer or you can use it hand in hand with the 100% Argan Oil which is what Josie Maran recommends.

I also love that the Pure Argan Milk and her 100% Argan Oil's are formulated without:
Parabens, Sulfates and Phthalates. When I am looking for products, I always make sure that these three ingredients are not in the product that I am buying and with her products not having these harmful ingredients, makes these two products a win in my books.

How I Apply It:

Morning:

Once I have washed and toned my face, I will apply 4-5 drops of the Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk to the palm of my hand {lightly pressing my two palms together, warming up the milk in my hand} and then I lightly press my hands onto my face, dabbing the milk all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté. Once I have done that, I will let that sit on my face for a few minutes to soak in before applying my foundation/ tinted moisturizer and any other makeup.

Depending on how dry your face is, I would recommend applying the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil after you have applied the milk for extra hydration.

Night:

Once I have washed and toned my face, I will apply 5 drops of the Pure Argan Milk to the palm of my hand {lightly pressing my two palms together, warming the milk up in my hand} and then I lightly press my hands onto my face, dabbing the milk all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté. I will then add 5 drops of the Josie Maran 100% Argan Oil Light to the palm of my hand again, and lightly dab that all over my face, under my eyes, neck and décolleté.

I like the "Light" formulation better than the regular because it's a little less greasy and it absorbs quicker into my skin, leaving my skin a little more matte but also leaving my skin with a beautiful dewy glow that I absolutely love. The "light" formulation does the exact same as the regular oil but again, it just leaves your face less greasy.
 
I am really happy that Josie Maran came out with this product and it has seriously changed my beauty routine for the better. My face always looks amazing when I only used the 100% Argan Oil but now that I have incorporated the milk along with the oil, my skin has really improved that much more and what a difference my makeup looks as well. I can't even explain to you on how my face looks and feels, it's amazing how these two products together has changed my skin.

Another plus with these two products is that it doesn't make me breakout at all and I have very sensitive, acne prone skin. It's such a relief knowing that I finally found a beauty routine that works!

How adorable are these shoes? When I saw them, I knew they would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe. I love matching these flats with other red pieces, whether that is a red blazer or a red top but I also LOVE wearing these as a pop of colour when wearing neutrals. I always get a tone of compliments when I wear these flats like I did in the outfit above.
