Call Her Candice

Like clockwork (it seems), here we are at another Sephora Sale.  While I know I have lots of Sephora Sale blog posts, I like to update with new recommendations + what's in my own cart.  I've been doing lots of skincare shopping more than anything but have purchased a make-up item or two.  But when you have to wear a mask, there's only but so much makeup it makes sense to put on.  So, my focus has been getting my skin as clear as possible.  As most of you know, I deal with … Read more

Last week I was invited by the Kiehls Georgetown location to learn more about their Apothecary Preparations Service.  Picture no longer having to use a product that addresses 'most' of your skincare concerns but instead addresses your exact skincare concerns.  That's exactly what this service does!  In recent years, there have been many brands that have created custom foundation options which have definitely peeked my attention.  But what's better than personalized ma… Read more

I've been raving about my Clarisonic for a while now.  Since, 2011 to be exact.  (check the receipts here )  It without doubt is one of the key components that helped clear my acne back then.  I still use it now in my skincare routine for many different reasons: Cleansing, Makeup, Body Exfoliation, Mask Removal + Skincare Absorption.  The one thing that I've loved about my device, is that over the years I've been able to buy new brush heads but haven't needed to buy a … Read more

Hey girl hey!  Happy Friday boo.  I don't know about you but it feels like this week just dragged.  I kept waking up every morning thinking it was Friday, only to realize it was like Tuesday.  But Friday is here and it's pay day for some of us, heeeeey!  But most importantly, Mother's Day is just days away.  We are still amidst the Mother's Day Gift Guide Giveaways and today's giveaway sponsor is Bliss!  Yes, girl... they are about to get our skin ALL THE WAY righ… Read more

I can't lie, I've been waiting for this sale to roll around for a while.  "When the heck is Sephora having their next VIB Sale already", is what I start asking myself months before information for the Sale is even available.  Needless to say, by the time I do start finding information (because I go on a hunt for deets like a woman trying to find out if her man is cheating), my cart is already full of products I really want but can't pull myself to pay that $5-10 … Read more

Last week I received a super cute package from Pixi Beauty containing all of their Face Mists.  *cue all the happy emojis*  I already had the Glow Mist in my arsenal but the other three... the Hydrating Milky Mist, Makeup Fixing Mist and Vitamin Wakeup Mist (all are $15 each) were new to me.  Obviously, they didn't stay new to me for very long because I immediately began trying to figure out how to use them... both separately and in combination. Here's what I figured out... 1… Read more

About a month ago, I fell victim to Instagram and YouTube pressuring me to buy a few Pixi Beauty products.  Left and right, Bloggers were raving about the Pixi Glow Tonic and I figured for so many people to be raving about it, it MUST be good!  Lord knows I've learned my lesson in the past from thinking this yet I continue to fall into the trap.  Fortunately, this time all the gossip and talk was actually TRUE.  Of course, once I found the Tonic at my local Target store I couldn&… Read more

Long story short, I have sensitive, acne prone skin that tends to be super oily.  It took me quite some time to figure out what works and what didn't work that I nearly gave up and threw in the towel.  Lucky enough for me, there are so many great Blogs out there dedicated to getting your skin snatched.  The one thing I can't do is switch up skincare products all willy nilly.  Nope, my face won't have it and I will start looking like a 14 year old girl that just hit pubert… Read more

As many of you may or may not know, I have had a battle with Hyperpigmentation for some time now.  It stemmed from scars left behind due to my Acne prone skin.  Well, I finally found a skincare routine that truly worked for me.  It basically consisted of almost daily exfoliation, serums to battle the dark spots and lots of sunscreen.  Of course, it sounds super simple and honestly it is!  The hard part for me is CONSISTENCY which is actually the most important factor in eliminating d… Read more

In case you are unaware (or have been in hiding) a new beauty product was released recently that has changed my life.  Cover FX came out with Custom Cover Drops last week and for once, this is nothing like any other product before.  Like, for real for real.  This product is pure pigment.  Think of it this way... Take your regular foundation for example.  Pretend you have magical powers to be able to separate the "color" from everything else in the foundation (such as moistu… Read more

In trying to maintain a schedule for my blog, I have decided to implement 'Feature Fridays' which I thought you Shopaholics would love.  The feature can be Beauty Products, Fashion Finds or even Products sent for reviews/consideration by companies.  I hope you guys enjoy the new changes coming to the blog because I'm really having a good time providing more content for you guys. ALGENIST PURIFYING AND REPLENISHING CLEANSER Not too long ago, I expressed a need for a new mor… Read more

If you follow me on Instagram (and you should if you're not lol), then you know that I have been battling some hyperpigmentation issues.  Although, treating my hyperpigmentation was a huge battle for me, an even bigger battle was minimizing my acne.  The hyperpigmentation was a result of scarring from the acne so as you see it was a vicious cycle that needed to come to an end.  Nobody cares to have acne or scarring from acne at the age of 30.  Finally, I've been able to get c… Read more

The area of skincare is a world that I recently started to give all my money to in the last few years.  I have always had problematic skin since a teenager but usually attacked it with various over the counter products. According to my teenage self I had severe acne but as I matured I saw what "severe" acne really looked like and realized quickly that I had more mild-moderate acne!  In addition to my acne I also have oily and sensitive skin.  Yeah, the skin Gods were clearl… Read more
