Road Trippin' Since '93
 |
| Shirt - Zara | Jeans - PacSun | Shoes - Forever 21 | Watch - The Fifth Watches Hey guys! I'm keeping this one short and sweet. This was one of my favorite quick looks that I threw together this past summer. Pairing some heels with a nice oversized graphic tee and boyfriend jeans added a little edge to this outfit. I opted for a dark brown liquid lipstick to finish off this look (mine is in the color Limbo from ColourPop). Right after shooting this look, my hair went straight up into a ponytail because it was about 90 degrees this day! Peep the ponytail holder in it's permanent spot on my wrist. I'm super missing summer right now, but I'm kind of enjoying this low 70s weather we have going on right now. Until the next one, x Alicia |
Tips for Clear Skin ft. Clarisonic
Hey ladies! Have you been wondering how to get your skin out
of the funk it’s been in? Well, you’ve come to the right place! Today I’m going
to share a few of my best tips for clear skin.
Tip #1: Take off your makeup every night.
Admittedly, I don’t always adhere to this tip but it is one
that needs to be strictly followed. If you’re feeling too lazy or have already
gotten comfortable in bed, just keep a pack of face wipes by your bedside. It’s
a lot easier to reach over to your nightstand and grab a wipe than it is to
walk all the way into the bathroom to do a whole routine. My favorite wipes are
the Simple Skincare Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes. These wipes remove all of my
makeup and doesn’t leave a residue on my skin. I love them!

Tip #2: Use a face brush.
This is a step that I don’t skip. I definitely attribute my
clear skin to the use of my Clarisonic. I’m currently using the Clarisonic Mia
2 Deep Pore set daily. Clarisonic devices cleanse the face six times better
than hands alone, and are gentle enough to use twice a day! This particular
device has two speeds and is great for any skin type. The Mia 2 gently cleanses
your skin and removes all of the dirt and oil that the makeup wipes didn’t get.
Clarisonics are also great gift ideas and with the holiday season coming up,
this is a gift anyone would love! From now until November 20, visit http://www.clarisonic.com/hercampus

Tip#3: Skip the toner & moisturize.
If you suffer from dry skin, skip the toner! I go for a
micellar water instead because it’s super gentle, removes excess oil, and is
more hydrating than toners. My favorite micellar water to use is the Simple SkincareMicellar Cleansing Water. After “toning” my face with micellar water, I then make sure to moisturize. My
favorite range of moisturizers comes from Cetaphil and I love using either the
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, or the Moisturizing Lotion. The lotion is great
for the summer, and the cream is best for winter months to keep your face
looking and feeling great!

| Romper - UO | Hat - Love Culture | Shoes - Adidas |
I scored this super cute romper from the sale rack at Urban Outfitters for about $20 over the summer. I knew it would be so easy to dress this romper up with a pair of heels and a nice sister jacket, but I wanted to challenge myself a bit and make the vibe super casual. I went for a matchy-matchy look and popped on a navy cap and navy Stan Smiths. I tried this look wearing my hair loose, but in order to make it as casual as possible i tied my hair in a low twisted bun.
This outfit would also look super cute with a denim jacket to complete it, but considering it was 90 degrees the day we shot this look, that was not an option!
How would you dress down a printed romper?

The Minty Mask
Today, I'm testing out this 7th Heaven Tea Tree Peel-Off mask from Montagne Jeunesse! It claims to help purge pores, and clear skin. I don't really suffer from skin problems, but I do get the occasional pimple here and there. I wanted to give myself a bit of a pamper day and I'm glad I had this mask to try out!
The instructions said to spread a thin, even layer across the skin avoiding the eye area. I was also careful not to get this product onto my eyebrows because I'm not in need of an unintentional wax session today!
This mask was seriously SO refreshing! My skin felt so invigorated and awake while the mask was drying.
In the Garden
Summer or Fall?
Sporting my super summery duster cardigan along with my super fall-toned lace-up sandals. On this particular day, the temperature was about 75 degrees and to me, was quite chilly. I paired these two pieces with my favorite crop top, one of my DIY chokers (learn how to make them here!), and my fave go-to trousers from H&M. I'm not ready for summer to end! I already can't wait until next summer.
