Happy Monday, my peeps! I hope your weekend was fabulous! We had a great one! Started it off with football and cheer and then we went searching for trees for my front porch pots! I knew exactly what I wanted, but had to head to a couple places to find them. So thrilled with how our porch looks! It’s so cute! I’ll show you soon! Any who, we waited ALL weekend for this cool front we had been promised and yesterday afternoon, it started to blow in! Praise the Lord! We need cool weather desperately. 90 degrees in mid October is no good! Ha! We are thankful for some much needed sweater weather!
So, one of the things I love most about what I do is I get the opportunity to learn about brands that I may not have tried on my own. I met Colleen Rothschild and her husband a few years ago at a conference. I thought their products were so fabulous, but never had the opportunity to try them until recently! They reached out and wanted me to try some of their amazing products. I was pumped and so excited to try some new things. At 34, I so conscious of my skin and the signs of aging and all that not so fun stuff that happens as we age. So, I knew this would be a great partnership. I have loved their products and am thrilled to have them as a part of my daily routine. They offer products for any type of skin and that is what I love! Their website has a dropdown menu that breaks down their products by what your Skin Concerns are! It’s so great! You can really find the perfect products for your skin type! Naturally, I clicked the Fine Lines and Wrinkles section, since those are my current concerns. There truly is something for everybody, check out the website HERE. I’m going to tell you a bit about each of the products that I got to try and what I love about each of them!
VITAMIN C TREATMENT // RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL // AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM // COMPLETE EYE CREAM // RADIANT CLEANSING BALM
Wrinkles and fine lines are on my mind lately. I recently started using a retinol as a preventative measure (why didn’t I start this sooner?!). I started with an over the counter dose because my skin is so sensitive. When I saw the new Retinol Supreme Night Oil, I was sold. I knew I had to try it and you guys, I am OBSESSED. I can’t wait to wash my face every night to put it on. It’s that good! I love it! I had the oppurtunity to try a few of their products and this one is my favorite so far. It’s such a great feeling to put the oil on, head to bed and wake up with soft and glowing skin. I was a fan after night one!! Mr. Fancy laughs at me nightly because I love putting it on. He told me last night that he wants to try it too. Ha! So, if he decides to, I’ll report back! If you’ve been following me on Instagram, then you know how much I love and use this oil, I share my nightly oil pictures with you on my stories! This is definitely a keeper for me and I truly love this oil!
Next up is the Age Renewal Super Serum. When I read about this product, It said that it “fights the six signs of aging: texture, dehydration, elasticity, fine lines, radiance, and tone.” All things I struggle with on a daily basis. So, I knew this was another no brainer for me to try. I have been using it twice a day, but I know it can also be effective using it once a day. I just figured, I would add it to my morning routine as well because why not? I love how my skin feels after I use it and honestly, I do feel like my skin feels less dehydrated! So, this is another winner for me!
AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM // RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL
Next up is the Complete Eye Cream! Truth be told, I have been needing to find a good eye cream for YEARS. I was so excited to try this one because I had heard great things about it and the reviews looked awesome too! My under eyes are legit so much more hydrated. I had been feeling so dry in that area for the past year, but none of the creams that I have tried have helped. I am using this eye cream twice a day (morning and night) and it’s wonderful.
The next product is the Radiant Cleansing Balm. I just recently got introduced to cleansing balms and I seriously love them. What a great concept! It removes all makeup and seriously, my skin feels SO soft after using this one! It’s a perfect nighttime face wash for me, but it can be used either morning or night!
If you’ve never used a cleansing balm, here is how Colleen Rothschild recommends you use it: “Place balm in clean, dry hands then rub together to warm product. Apply to dry skin and massage all over face. Wet muslin cloth with hand-hot water and wring damp. Place over skin for a mini-facial, then use to wipe off balm. Follow with a splash of cool water to leave you glowing.”
It truly does leave the skin soft and glowing!
Next up is the VITAMIN C TREATMENT COMPLEX. I have added vitamin C to my daily routine for about a year now. It helps with brightening and keeping the skin protected against all the daily elements, like pollution and sun damage! I am really liking this one so far!
VITAMIN C TREATMENT // RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL // AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM // COMPLETE EYE CREAM // RADIANT CLEANSING BALM
Here is my daily AM routine:
I wash my face with the BALANCING GEL CLEANSER
Then add the VITAMIN C TREATMENT COMPLEX
Next up is the COMPLETE EYE CREAM
Then I add the AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM
Followed with a light moisturizer. I am finishing up my current moisturizer and plan to try this ONE per their recommendation, soon!
Here is my daily PM routine:
I wash my face with the RADIANT CLEANSING BALM or the BALANCING GEL CLEANSER ( I switch off, but you can use the BALM every night)
I add my COMPLETE EYE CREAM
I follow that with my AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM
Then I add my RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL (My favorite!!!)
VITAMIN C TREATMENT // RETINOL SUPREME NIGHT OIL // AGE RENEWAL SUPER SERUM // COMPLETE EYE CREAM // RADIANT CLEANSING BALM

Hi Ashley! I have a few questions about the retinol oil you use at night.
-is it harsh or irritating at all?
-do you wear your hair back all night to prevent any of the oil from getting in your hair? Last thing I need is more oil in my hair ????.
-and does it make your face more shiny the next day or does it do a good job of soaking into your skin?
Thanks so much!
Kristen
Hi Kristen- I have had no issue with it being harsh or irritating. I think the oil aspect helps with that! I love it! Everyone is different though! I don’t have an issue with it getting into my hair. 🙂 Some nights I wear a headband! It soaks into the skin and then I wash my face the next am and use my other products! Hope that helps! XO
What about Beauty Counter? I bought several things based on your post. Do you no longer use those products?
I do! I use lots of different products and still use BC! Most of the BC products I use on my face are makeup related besides masks. I also use their butters and body lotions as well. And we love their kid products! You can see more about the products I use of theirs on my BC posts! These are the products I use on my face to help combat the signs of aging. 🙂 XO
