The top 5 Summer MUST HAVE'S (in your purse)

THE TOP 5 MUST HAVE'S (In your purse) are simple and quick "freshers" as I like to call 'em. 

  1. Bath and Body "Bigelow" "Mentha Lip Tint" #1645 "Bare Mint". Gives you fresh breath, natural color on the lips, that perfect shine, makes your lips tasty (and who doesn't want tasty lips???) and it's ALWAYS nice to have pretty lips. 
  2. Physicians Formula Bronzer, "Vegas Strip/Light Bronzer". Dust on a quick bronzer to give you that sun kissed look. Gives you a nice glow and if you feel good...THEN YOU LOOK GOOD!(que no?)
  3. Mini "Conair" brush/mirror. (self explanatory)
  4. "Benifit's" "Erase Paste", Brightening camouflage for eyes and face. Gives you that little pick me up when your looking tired. Just put a little eye concealer and it gives you a "I'm ready for the world" look. (You ladies know what I'm talk'en 'bout!) 
  5. And last but not least (drums please) "Nars" "Hollywoodland". It's a nice Jumbo sized pencil Champagne shade that looks GREAT on everyone, apply around eyes and in corner for nice shimmer. Makes your eyes POP.  
Hope you like these little quick recommendations and PLEASE feel free to share all your fave's!! 

NOW....GO TAKE ON THE WORLD LADIES!!

Today's Topic: EXFOLIATING

People just don't know HOW important it is to exfoliate. When I'm doing someone's makeup I can tell a huge difference if they exfoliate and moisturize and take care of their skin. Helloooooo people?!?! Aren't we TRYING to get rid of wrinkles and lines and dry skin?? Exfoliating is KEY to this process. It really does help get rid of all the dead skin (THIS INCLUDES MEN). You should at least be exfoliating 1 to 2 times a week. I recommend an exfoliant with small beads (NOT APRICOT) For one, Apricot seeds are large and can tear your pores and eventually enlarge your pores and thats NO BUENO. I personally LOVE 2 in particular: 


#1 Lierac's "Micro-Abrasion". It's price point is around $38.00 BUT well worth it AND you only need to do it once a week. This smoothing cream contains Alumina Crystals (25%) which is used in the same Microdermabrasion you get when going to your local Spa,  for deep-down exfoliation and Urea (3%) for ultimate comfort. It works tirelessly to clean away dead skin cells (Paraben Free) You can find Lirac in your local CVS Pharmacy "Healthy Skincare Department".


#2 La Roche-Posay's "Physiological Ultra-Fine Scrub"MPF [Activating Protease Factor] - chemical exfoliation to boost cell turnover while respecting skin's physiological balance. Micronized diatomic & polyethylene powders - physical exfoliation with micronized (crushed and smoothed out) powders to avoid irritation. Optimal safety on sensitive skin with Poloxamer, a cleansing ingredient so mild it is used in contact lens solutions. Effective to remove impurities while respecting skin's natural balance.
