Comme Des Garcons Graphic T-Shirt Review

via nordstrom.com

Weekly Theme: Spooky Good Clothes

Kicking off our week of spooky good clothing is this mildly creepy Comme Des Garçons black on black logo t-shirt. From afar you have some slick little eyes peering at all of the Fall frollicers walking by, delivering a harsh stair into every one of the their eyes. If you are in the mood for a designer t-shirt, why not get one that is subtle yet piercing. Just so we’re clear, the full heart is embroidered on the shirt, but the black on black colorway makes it look just a bit creepier than usual. Wear this shirt with pretty much whatever black or neutral color palette outfit you want, but it does look pretty cool peeking out of an open jean jacket.

DTRT So Fine Skin Toner Review

via sephora.com

Weekly Theme: Cooler Weather Skin Prep

Toner? So it will make my skin color better somehow? Not exactly Chad. Toner is used to control oil that builds up on your face in addition to regulating your skins pH balance and can help fight inflammation and infection. If you are worried about your face (who isn’t?) adding a toner, especially as the seasons change, can be the key to keeping your money maker looking better than ever. This toner from DTRT doesn’t have alcohol in it like many toners, it uses pine resin instead, making it a bit gentler on your skin, and smelling nice and woody. We suggest that if you are just trying out a toner for the first time, only use it about twice a week, and make sure you are also using a moisturizer, no one wants an oily face, but we also don’t want a flaky one.

We suggest putting this on after every time you shower.
