#NEWSERIESALERT The number one comment on my Instagram pictures is always about my skin! How do I keep it clear? Do I do anything special? What do I use on my face? How often do I exfoliate? And the list continues. So I thought I would keep a running total of my skincare escapades on my blog to chronicle the best (and worst) products I have tried in an attempt to maintain the most clear skin possible. Welcome to Spence’s Skincare Series!
Where in the world have I been!? Well, I’ve been moving from the East Coast to smack in the middle of the country! A couple of big life changes have happened for me in the last month! I got a new job in Austin, Texas so I moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Austin two weeks ago. I had a short amount of time to get packed up and get out here to start my new job as quickly as possible.
I appreciate you guys working with me as I don’t have a ton of free time right now to blog. I’m about half-way moved in to my new apartment and will be getting a majority of my items moved in next week. Also, with the holidays creeping up on me, I’ve got plans to ramp up posting again after January 1, 2016. I cannot believe it is nearly 2016! Where has the year gone!?
I’ll still be blogging sporadically for the next two weeks, but you can always catch up with me on Instagram where I’ll drop a majority of my updates.
Again, I appreciate y’all working with me! It’s almost my one year blogaversary and we know what that means … GIVEAWAY! Let me know what you guys want to see in the giveaway in the comments below and I’ll try and make sure something special comes your way soon. Smooches!
Boy, have I got a treat for you all! The lovely ladies of DupeThat are set to release a duo of highlighters in October and they graciously sent me both to test out and share with you all. If you keep reading, I’ll share some of my tips on making a cool toned highlighter work on deep skin as well as a ton of pictures of both ‘You Dew You’ & ‘You Glow, Girl!’.

Last week I was blessed to be able to take a cruise with my mom! We visited the blue waters of Belize and the sunny skies of Mexico. After being in the sun for seven days, I am having withdrawal being back home in this 40 degree weather and I really just want to run back to the ship LOL! There was a bit of sun out today and I happened to have on a shirt I bought in Cozumel, so I thought I would put on a face to match my mood!
The one things I really miss was the glow I had in the sun! I just wanted to get that back so I used a ton of highlight on my cheeks. I used a few different colors layered so it would look more natural and dewy instead of “BAMM in your FACE”! Over my primed face, I used my Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation, which is matte. I used it because I needed full coverage and I don’t have a dewy foundation that matches me.On top of that, I brightened up my face with Revlon Liquid Bronzer on the high points of my face blended into the foundation with a stippling brush. I then concealed my under-eye area with some CoverGirl Queen liquid/creamy concealer. It gives me less coverage than my go-to NYX HD Concealer, but it isn’t as brightening and obvious on the face and that’s exactly what I was going for.
