Fighting pimples! My latest go to fighters are Sanitas Zapper, and Zensation anti blemish lotion. I use Sanitas in the morning because it is clear. It goes on quick and easy with a rollerball applicator. It’s ammo is Salicylic acid and Glycolic acid. At night I apply Zensation. Using Salicylic Acid and Vitamin E from Raspberry Extract this is an intensive treatment. Apply with a cotton swab and wake up happy and ready for anything ;)……

Eco-friendly! with Priori products. They have come out with Coffeeberry Natureceuticals Perfecting Minerals makeup. Basically, it’s a 100% natural, perfecting, super anti aging, mineral makeup. This line protects against free radicals, and UVA / UVB rays. My favorite thing about this is their brushes. They are soft and silky, so applying your foundation feels soooo good. Perfect your skin with Priori and get friendly with someone new….

I’m in love with Loreal Paris True Match naturale mineral Foundation. I live in Miami, so I always prefer to use a mineral or powder versus liquid foundation. To my surprise this drug store brand is far better than the expensive Department Store brands I have tried. Here’s the rundown –  coverage= amazing, lasting all day and night, blendability= the best and fast, spf=you know it @ 19. So get with this true match, it will never leave the toilet seat up, or sleep with your best friend ;)…..

Billion Dollar Brows, or BDB, is like professional brow shaping for dummies. They’re products are top of the line, and easy to use. The tweezers are the best I have ever used. The brow shadow is creamy and super blendable. Check out their site http://www.billiondollarbrows.com and read more about Brow Boost (makes your overplucked brows grow back), The Brow Buddy, (a tool that guides you to perfect plucking). And don’t forget to get  a highlighter for the brow bone. If you don’t highlight the brow bone it’s like getting in shape and wearing over sized sweats.

Between You and The Moon is a crafty little company that you should get familiar with. Of all their amazing holistic products – the Perfection Pore Refining Mask is what I’m most crazy for. Seriously, it’s the best mask I’ve used in a long time. You get crafty with this product making it yourself. The Clay is hand mixed, in small batches and takes 6 weeks of weekly infusions of herbs. The clay comes as a loose grey powder, in which you add your choice of; water, herbal tea, aloe vera juice and any other creative essential oil you choose. Make it to the consistency you like and apply. You can either lie down with a warm cloth covering your face or let it harden and tighten. When you wash it off your left with clearer revived skin and smaller pores. So get crafty in more ways than one….

Recently I have been using the Somme Institute 5 step Regimen morning and night. It is like giving yourself a mini facial. The bottles also look so cute lined up on the counter. The genius thing about this product is the MDT5 Technology.  MDT5 is a compound of 5 highly engineered vitamins contained in each of the 5 steps (A, B3&B5,C,D, and ). This line is made for all skin types and most conditions. Here’s how it goes down;
Step 1 Nourishing Cleanser
a non foaming cleanser
Step 2 Transport (my favorite)
these are treatment pads designed to exfoliate and tone
Step 3 Serum
I love this serum, made with a super high concentration of vitamin c –  smells good too
Step 4 A-Bomb
a potent vitamin A and E moisturizer
Step 5 Double Defense
sun protection lotion with SPF 30

So get the 5 step program, and get some…….

My #1 makeup product is under eye concealer. I am always on the hunt for the most innovative and powerful brands. IT Cosmetics has impressed me with their Bye Bye Under Eye. It is a full coverage, waterproof, concealer with Hydro-collagen, vitamin c and k. This product is thick but it does not feel heavy. So cover up those bags, it’s no one’s business what , or who you were doing last night 😉

We spend tons of money on products, and hours in the gym, to achieve the look we want. What if you could have it all without lifting a finger? Well, sorry you can’t. But you can get lots of help with Functionalab advanced Nutricosmetics& Nutraceuticals. They have an array of non prescription supplements to support all your beauty needs. Their packaging is super cute too. A few of my faves; Age defense, Weight Management, Hair Skin & Nails. So head over to http://www.functionalab.com/home, and start swallowing ;)……

I’m using an exfoliating facial cleanser that you need to know about. It is St. Ives Naturally Clear Green Tea Scrub. It has Salicylic acid in it, so not only does it exfoliate , it helps fight acne. It’s oil free and gentle enough to use every day. My favorite thing about it is that it foams up well. The problem with most scrubs is while they may exfoliate I don’t feel like they are also getting me squeaky clean. This Green Tea scrub definitely does. So save your money on expensive exfoliates and spend it on your new hooker boots…..
