Yesterday was the first day of the second half of the year.  Can you even believe that we’re halfway through 2019?  Not only did the past six months fly by me so fast that my head is swirling, but I now have an eighteen-month old.  EIGHTEEN MONTHS!  I can hardly believe the words as I type them out.

Now that I’m done crying over my baby toddler, let’s dive into today’s post, shall we?  I decided that July 1st was a great date to start up some fun new things here at Hello Gorgeous.  Introducing: Makeup Mondays.  Each Monday on my Instagram Stories, I plan to share new beauty content.  We could be talking about new products, tutorials, the sky is the limit.  You know I love any excuse to chat about makeup and beauty products, so this is selfishly as much for me as it is for y’all, lol.

For my first Makeup Monday, I shared a step by step skincare tutorial.  I started with washing my face and took you through every single step of skincare before bedtime.  Chemical peels are something I regularly do to keep my skin looking it’s best, so I even showed how I do a peel at home.  I regularly get chemical peels at my dermatologist’s office, but when I’m traveling, I like to have the products on hand to give my skin the pampering it’s used to.  See below for an at-home peel that’s only $7!

You can watch the entire tutorial on my Instagram page, just click the Makeup Monday highlight button.  Below you can shop the products that I used in this week’s tutorial.
