A few of my Favorite Things

When the weather is warm out, I like to keep my beauty routine simple and light. During the day time, I like to keep my look natural and for date night put on a bit of eye shadow. There is nothing better than being able to get spruced-up in just a few minutes and with just a few key products. Here are some of my most treasured products that I would not be able to go without (rain or shine). Test them out for yourself

(These are in no particular order)

#1

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion

* This stuff is wonderful. Its light, keeps your skin hydrated and is not irritating*

#2

MAC Face & Body Foundation

* I have used this product for about 5 years now and have never found anything like it. It covers well and it is made with water not oil, so it’s much better for your skin. *

#3

Covergirl Lip Stain

* I LOVE this little gem of a lip stain. It’s so easy to use because of the marker shaped tip on it. Best part, it truly does “Outlast” hours of wear. I have this in Teasing Blush #415. I will put on a few coats for a darker color, or just a swipe if I am doing a natural look.*

#4

Moroccan Oil

* This has become a new favorite of mine, as I have only been using it for less than a year. But the results are outstanding. It conditions, repairs and makes hair shine. It’s a must in my book during the sunny months. *

#5

Eyelashes

*For effortlessly great looking eyes, nothing tops having false lashes. They make your eyes pop and you don’t need any kind of eye shadow. Just remember, don’t go too big as nothing is worse than seeing someone with horribly long fake lashes. That’s not pretty.*

Anyone have products that they swear by? Tell me! I love to try new products out

Treat your self to a facial

Weeks ago while out with my sisters we were talking about how wonderful you feel right after you get microdermabrasion. If you have not had it, please make yourself an appointment. I promise you, you will not regret it! And your skin will thank you for weeks after. But lets be realistic, no one has the money nor the time to get microdermabrasion or a facial all the time. So my esthetician sister starting talking about the electronic hand held facial scrubbers.

We all decided to buy one and thought why not try it out. 

Clearasonic System

At first I had mixed reviews about it. How could an electronic facial scrubber do any better than I did with a wash cloth? I first washed my face the same that I do each night and then used the hand held device. I was SO SURPRISED! The brush had makeup residue on it! All those years of not getting off all my makeup would obviously take a toll on my skin... Well not anymore! My skin felt extra clean and soft. My money was well spent. 

Check them out! There are many at all price points.
