My Skincare Routine (and a HUGE sale)

April 15, 2021 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Hi friends!  I am really excited about todays post because I get to talk about something I am passionate about. . .skincare!  I get lots of questions about my skincare routine so today I am walking you through it!  Plus there is a HUGE sale on my favorite products!  Save 25% off the best sellers!!

Early in my career I was an Assistant Buyer in Beauty at Neiman Marcus.  I had the fun job of working with the best of the best skincare.  I got to try all kinds of different product, brands and loved every minute of it.  There are so many different things on the market that it can be overwhelming, but when I found Colleen Rothschild products I was hooked!

If you have been following me for awhile you know my love for Colleen Rothschild products.  They work amazing, leave your skin glowing and smell like you have been at the spa.  Check out the reviews.  I am not alone in my love of the brand!  There are so many different wonderful products in the brand that today I am breaking down my morning and evening skincare routine, plus my favorite products!

MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE:

My morning skincare routine is more simple than my evening routine.  I like my face clean and fresh, but don’t like a ton of product on it

1. CLEANSING BALM:

  • I clean my skin with my #1 favorite product.  This stuff is magic.  It cleans your skin so well and removes all traces of make-up without stripping your skin.  Your skin is glowing and feels hydrated.  It is good for all skin types and a little bit goes a long way.  They have a regular size and a jumbo size. 

2. VITAMIN C TREATMENT COMPLEX: 

  • This brightens the skin and helps produce collagen.  I love the texture. It makes a great make-up primer and leaves your skin feeling like velvet.  

3. SPF/MAKE-UP:

  • After using the 2 products above I put on an SPF and start my make-up routine.

EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE:

My evening skincare routine is more involved than my morning routine.  It makes me feel so good to get into bed knowing my skin has been taken care of and the products can work overnight while I sleep!

1. CLEANSING BALM:

  • I love using this at night because it gets the entire day off my face.  It removes make-up like a champ including mascara.  I always feel so clean after using it.  It also helps prep my skin for the following steps.

**The next few steps depend on how my skin is feeling/looking.  Sometimes my skin is dry and sometimes it kinda breaks out.  I change up the next few steps depending on my skin.

2. SERUMS:

  • IF SKIN IS FEELING DRY:
    • FACE OIL NO 9:  This stuff is amazing.  It is like the miracle serum.  It has 9 oils that do all the things!  It moisturizes, helps with fine lines, discoloration, and texture with no greasy residue.  Sometimes I mix this with my favorite night cream . . . Extreme Recovery Cream.
  • IF SKIN IS BREAKING OUT OR MY SUN DAMAGE IS STANDING OUT: 
    • MANDELIC ACID RADIANCE SERUM: This serum is a gentle Alpha Hydroxy Acid.  It helps cell turnover which addresses fine lines, acne, dark spots and overall skin texture.  I love this stuff!

3. MOISTURIZERS:

  • IF SKIN IS FEELING DRY:
    • INTENSE HYDRATING MASK: This product is amazing.  It transforms your skin immediately.  It can be used as a mask, but I put it on and sleep in it.  It soaks in, isn’t greasy and smells amazing.  Your dehydrated skin instantly becomes refreshed and youthful looking.
  • IF SKIN IS BREAKING OUT OR MY SUN DAMAGE IS STANDING OUT: 
    • EXTREME RECOVERY CREAM:  This is a wonderful moisturizer.  It is thick and hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy.  It adds moisture and helps with fine lines and wrinkles.

4. EYE CREAM

  • COMPLETE EYE CREAM:  I always finish up my routine with eye cream.  This one is a 1 stop shop to fight fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness.

5. WEEKLY ITEMS:

A few times a week I like to rotate 2 other products.  These are also some of my favorites.  They are wonderful additions to my weekly skincare routine.

  • DUAL ENZYME POLISH: Every time I use this product I see an immediate difference.  My skin looks fresher and more radiant.  This product exfoliates in 2 ways, both with a scrub you can feel and an enzyme.  This product is a must and can be added to any skincare routine you are already using

  • GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL PADS WITH BLUE AGAVE:  These remind me of those pads you used as a teenager to get all the gunk off your face and out of your pores, but so much better.  These give a deep clean and unclog pores, sluff of dead skin cells and leave skin radiant.

QUICK RECAP:

Since I went through each product it might have seemed like a lot, but here is the simple break down.

MORNING:

  • CLEANSING BALM
  • VITAMIN C TREATMENT COMPLEX
  • SPF

EVENING:

  • CLEANSING BALM
  • FACE OIL NO 9 or MANDELIC ACID RADIANCE SERUM
  • INTENSE HYDRATING MASK or EXTREME RECOVERY CREAM
  • COMPLETE EYE CREAM

WEEKLY:

  • DUAL ENZYME POLISH & GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL PADS WITH BLUE AGAVE

 FAVORITE PRODUCTS

I get asked a lot what my favorite Colleen Rothschild products are and that is so hard.  It is like picking a favorite child.  If I had to pick these are them.

  1. CLEANSING BALM
  2. DUAL ENZYME POLISH
  3. INTENSE HYDRATING MASK
  4. MANDELIC ACID
  5. EXTREME RECOVERY CREAM
  6. FACE OIL NO 9
  7. QUENCH & SHINE RESTORATIVE HAIR MASK
  8. SMOOTH & SHINE HAIR SERUM

*** The Discovery Collection is a great way to try Colleen Rothschild products.  It comes with 6 of the best selling products.  You get a travel size of the Cleansing Balm, Face Oil No 9, Extreme Recovery Cream, Dual Enzyme Polish, Sheer Renewal Creme, Clarifying Detox Mask and muslin cloth in a cute little travel bag.  It is a $150 value for only $95***

HAIR PRODUCTS

I have talked all about skincare, but Colleen Rothschild also makes the best hair products.  I am obsessed with the Deep conditioner and Serum.  They make my list of top picks!  They leave your hair so silky, shiny and smell unbelievable!!  A great way to try the line is to get the travel set.  It comes with all 4 hair products.  Shampoo, Deep Conditioner, Styling Cream and Hair Serum in a cute little bag with a scrunchie.

I know I have covered a lot, but I am telling you, that is how good these products are.  There is something for everyone and every skin type.  If you are interested in trying the line this is a great time to shop because they are having a HUGE SALE on BEST SELLERS!!

SAVE 25% ON BEST SELLERS

BEST PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE...Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

Want to bring/make the favorite dish this year for Thanksgiving?? Look no further!

🤎🥧 Comment PIE to have the recipe sent to your DM

To be honest, I am not a huge traditional pumpkin pie fan.  However, this pumpkin pie my mom made growing up is my all time favorite.  It is pumpkin flavored, but very light.  It is absolutely delicious. If you are hosting this year or bringing a dessert, I highly recommend trying this Pumpkin Chiffon Pie!  It is sure to be a family & crowd favorite!

This recipe will always remind me of my mom & she gave me the original hand written recipe card that I have framed in my butlers pantry. It’s very special to me! Can’t wait to make it with her this Thanksgiving!

💚 I’m so excited to finally share my office reveal! 💚

It’s amazing what a little wallpaper and fabric can do to completely transform a room. I found the most beautiful designs at @spoonflower — one of my go-to sources for wallpaper and textiles.

From the wallpapered ceiling, to the block-print café curtains and coordinating fabric on the lamp and chair, these prints truly pulled the whole space together. The quality, selection, and customization options at Spoonflower are incredible!

I couldn’t love this space more. 
💚 Comment SHOP and I’ll send over all my sources!

✨Y’ALL… I’M OBSESSED!!! ✨ 

When we built this house, I dreamed of having gas lanterns—but with a propane tank, it just didn’t make sense. Back then, the “flame” bulbs that existed were super orange and totally fake-looking.

Fast forward to now… I found these new LED bulbs on Amazon and they are a complete GAME CHANGER. The color, the flicker—everything looks just like a real flame! They’re even prettier in person and at such a good price point.

I had to wait a little bit on shipping, but totally worth it!

📍WOODSTOCK, VT

This was one of my favorite stops on our fall New England trip. Seriously the most charming town. Think Star Hollows!

Everything was walkable and oh so charming.

🍁 TO DO:
*on the way to Woodstock check out Cold Hollow Cider Mill & get some donuts

•Sugarbush Farm: maple syrup & locally crafted cheese
•explore downtown: lots of cute shops (121 Home, F.H. Gillingham & Sons)
•get ice cream at Woodstock Scoops
•visit covered bridges: Middle Bridge (in town), Taftsville bridge
•Woodstock Inn..absolutely stunning! Get lots of pictures
•walk Pleasant St and see the famous pumpkin fence house & other gorgeous homes

🍁 FOOD:
•Montvert
•Soulfully Good Cafe

We stayed at The Shire. It was perfect for our family. Had a cute little market across the street that we picked some food up at one night and just went back to our room and watched a movie. We picked Goodwill Hunting since we were headed to Harvard the next day. It was a fun little evening.

we didn’t have time for this, but lots of people go hike  Quechee Gorge which is nearby & supposed to be incredible. 

We did Stowe & Woodstock and although I liked both, Woodstock was my favorite.

Driving around New England in the fall is spectacular. Everything looks like a painting. 

I highly recommend adding the scenic Kancamagus Highway to your trip. We left Kennebunkport, ME and took the Kancamagus Hwy on our way to Stowe, VT. It might not be the most direct way, but it was totally worth it. It’s 34 miles long through the White Mountains.

We left ample time that day so we could stop take pictures, explore, etc. 

TIP: make sure you have a full tank of gas, have snacks, go to the bathroom, etc. before you get started because there’s nowhere to stop on the way.

TOP SPOTS TO SEE:
• Albany covered bridge
• Lower Falls
• Rocky Gorge
• Sabbaday Falls
• Sugar Hill scenic overlook

• Champney Falls (if you have more time) This stop involves a more lengthy hike to see them

Have y’all ever driven “The Kanc” before? If so what were your favorite stops?

Also, if you see something that catches your eye just pull over. Some of the favorite spots we found while traveling New England were just random pit stops on the side of the road. Everything is gorgeous around there this time of year and looks like a postcard.

Salem surprised us… 
it was so much more than witches and Halloween. It’s a cute coastal town full of charm! Brick streets, cobblestone, gorgeous architecture, beautiful parks old candy shops…such a cute town.

You will hear mixed reviews. Some people love it at Halloween. Some people say avoid it. Yes it’s crowded, yes it’s touristy, but we loved it. We love Hocus Pocus so we soaked in all of that fun, but then we explored and really saw how beautiful everything was when you get outside of the main downtown area.

We were there a couple of hours & got everything in. It’s the perfect day trip from Boston. 

TO DO:
•Explore downtown
•get a picture with the Bewitched statue
•We took a self guided Hocus Pocus tour (see my other reel with all the spots and addresses), there are tons of guided ones if you prefer that
•walk by The Witch House
•check out the backyard at Ropes Mansion
•stroll Essex Street (keep walking straight past Ropes Mansion-Allison’s house in Hocus Pocus) & you’ll walk right into a gorgeous neighborhood full of Colonial homes. 
•go see Max & Dani’s house from the movie & explore that neighborhood. More gorgeous homes right on the coast
•Pioneer Village was fun to see
•if you’re into all the spooky stuff there are tons of tours and museums you can check out.

We had pizza at Flying Saucer & it was delicious. It was a fun little Halloween festive stop for us that we all enjoyed.
Almost everything is walkable.

Best road trip advice...just pull over!

We had a lot of time in the car on our trip to New England last year with lots of famous outlook sites and stops planned. Don’t get me wrong...they were all amazing, but some of the prettiest areas we saw were just random parts off the road. We would see something from the window and just pull over to soak it in. 
The trees are gorgeous everywhere, there is so much water, beautiful churches, cute little country stores, old cemeteries, barns, bridges...you name it!
This particular spot was somewhere in New Hampshire that we just saw and pulled over and it turned out to be one of our favorite photos! There was no one else there. It looks like a postcard and there are spots like this everywhere. Some of my favorite times on the trip were just driving in the car and soaking it all in! 🧡💛❤️🍂🍁

📍Stowe, Vermont

We visited Stowe in Mid October last year. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and the leaves didn’t disappoint. We were there during the week so it wasn’t overly crowded.
It had a small town, relaxed feel, but was bigger than some of the other places we visited. In the winter it’s a big ski town & it definitely had that vibe. 

We went with kids and it was a great family spot. We focused on kid friendly activities and restaurants.

EXPLORE DOWNTOWN:
⛪️ See the beautiful Stowe Community Church
🛍️ Explore the cute shops (Country Store on Main & Farm Home Marketplace were some of my favorites)
🥞 Breakfast at The Butlers Pantry...pro tip...it’s a very popular quaint restaurant in the heart of downtown with long waits BUT you can join the Yelp waitlist online before you go. We were able to walk right in
📸 Picture in front of the Stowe mural on the side of Laughing Moon Chocolates

VIEWS:
•Smugglers Notch Drive
•Gondola Sky Ride
•Drive on mountain road (just outside of downtown) for lots of great picture spots. This video is taken from a lookout about 2 min out of downtown.

ACTIVITIES:
🌽 Percy Farm corn maze was a hit with the kids
•Brookdale Bridge is close by and beautiful
🎶 Von Trapp Lodge & Brewery are worth seeing. Beautiful views & you can get a day pass to enjoy the incredible property

OTHER POPULAR ATTRACTIONS:
🍦 Ben & Jerry’s factory tour 
🍎 Cold Hollow Cider Mill
•Gold Brook Covered Bridge
