Current Skin Care Routine

Currently I am using the following skin care products:

Clean and Clear- Deep Action Cream Cleanser
I am not loyal to a particular cleanser.  As long as it removes makeup I'm happy.  This reminds me of being a teenager.  I used to buy this years ago.  I love the tingly feeling and clean, refreshing smell.  
Clarins- Toning Lotion
Last month during my lunch break at work I went to Bloomingdale's on 59th Street, NYC.  The makeup selection at this Bloomies is phenomenal.  They have so many different brands.  I ended up at Clarins.  I needed a new toner and moisturizer.  The sales associate recommended this one.  It has a strong Camomile scent which can be overwhelming to some.  I find my skin has become brighter with continued use.  I apply with a cotton ball morning and evening before my moisturizer.
Clarins- Extra Firming Day Cream
My one skin concern is preventing future wrinkles, lines, and loss of firmness.  Of course I am not old enough to have any of this, but I would like to take care of my skin now.  Overall I am happy with quality of this product.  It absorbs quickly into my skin and is not too heavy.

Summer Sandal Wish List

Tory Burch Miller in Black Patent- $195
I have a $100 gift card to Nordstrom so I am thinking of getting this sandal.

Sam Edelman Gigi in Almond Patent- $60
The perfect nude color that will match anything.

Sam Edelman Ross in Pewter- $100
I really like the blue stones on this sandal.  I am hoping they look just as good in person.

Thanks for reading :-)

Sephora Haul

Check out the items I picked up at Sephora today!

Boscia Luminizing Black Mask- $34
The reason I purchased this mask is because once it hardens you can peel it off.  Hopefully it will help with the black heads on my nose and cheeks.  I only used it once and it was a bit messy but fun to peel off!  I did not see any immediate results however I want to use it a few more times before I decide if I like it. 

Pink Face Brush- $5
I tend to buy products and not use them because I can be very lazy (especially with skin care routines).  My plan is to see if I can use this brush daily when I wash my face.  If I can get into the habit of using this at least once a day I will look into purchasing a Clarisonic.  I know that if I buy the Clarisonic today I would use it daily for two weeks then eventually I would not even touch it.  

Tweezerman Pedro Foot Scrub- $20
In my mind hot weater is right around corner.  I am constantly looking online at sandals.  I even bought shorts the other day!  A little silly since it will sit in my drawer for 3 months.  Anyway with these sandals I am fantasizing about I will need nice feet.  I decided to buy this pumice stone on a stick.  It has two sides with different textures.  I used it once in combination with the foot lotion below and I am impressed.  Is it worth $20?  No.  I'm sure I could have found a pumice stone at Wal-Mart for half the price.  I plan to use this a few times a week in the shower.

Soap & Glory Heel Genius- $15
I never tried a foot cream before so I picked this up on a whim.  I figured after the pumice stone I would need a lotion to apply.  This smells okay and absorbs quickly.  I used it during the day once.  I read the reviews on Sephora.com and most people apply it at night and sleep with socks so it can work its magic overnight.  Even the bottle suggests to use it nightly.  I have dry cracking heels and I am hoping with continued use my feet will become very smooth.
