I'm No Beauty Guru

​Now I am no beauty guru, but I do enjoy long walks in the beauty aisle especially at discount stores such as Tj Maxx, Marshalls and Burlington. One of my favorite things to do is to look for affordable beauty products to try to keep my skin glowing even on my most stressful days! As I transition into medical school, and begin the next chapter in my journey my hope is keep my skincare routine quick and simple.

Collagen may assist in providing a more youthful and healthy appearance to your skin, and it's never too early to begin caring fro your skin!

A few of my favorite products to use are my collagen facial wipes, and collagen moisturizing lotion. Collagen is the most abundant protein within the body, and is available in your muscles, skin, blood, bones, cartilage, and ligaments. Additionally, collagen is a beneficial building block for your body that helps to promote skin elasticity, and helps to promote glowing, and vibrant skin. Collagen may assist in providing a more youthful and healthy appearance to your skin, and it's never too early to begin caring for your skin!

​For this particular trip to the beauty aisle, I choose to wear a blush pink, open cardigan that I purchased from Shop Hope's (shophopes.com) a few seasons ago for under $10! This cardigan is a decorative, yet comfy piece that I prefer to dress down. I paired it was a coordinating cropped, sleeveless sweater from Forever 21 and a pair of high-waisted jeans from Charlotte Russe.

Want to know my tip for pulling off this look? A bold lip! My lipstick is gorgeous bright pink shade from Milani Cosmetics (milanicosmetics.com). I am wearing Milani Cosmetics' Amore Matte Lip Crème in Fancy. You can purchase this shade on the website for $8.99.
