I love Scott Barnes and all he creates. If you’re not familiar with this celebrity makeup artist, now is a good time to start. His books amazes me & and his products perfect me. One of my favorite tools is the Scott Barnes Cheek Brush. It is my go to blush brush. It picks up just the rights amount of blush, which many brushes fail to do. It is angled for perfect application. It does not shed, and most importantly it is the softest makeup brush I have ever felt!!!! Every time I put it to my face I feel pampered. Now your boyfriend can pay attention to your other cheeks……..

My Remmington MPT-3000 Precision Trimmer Detailer. Every Man and Woman should have one of these. I have two. I live in Miami, so I’m always in a bikini. I am also incapable of getting a perfect shave. I don’t know why, but I always seem to miss some little one inch spot here or there, ankle or knee. It’s so convenient to do quick touch ups with this little pen size trimmer. I know some women that use it for pesky facial hairs, but I can not vouch for that. I recommend you test a spot and see how it grows in. There are a few good brands out there that work well. Most run under $10, and come with batteries already in them. I Can’t say the same about your other vibrating devices……….;)
So is my absolute favorite concealer to all other concealers. Cle de Peau Concealer is not cheap. It will run you around $70. But, if you’re looking for the ultimate in concealer, especially when it comes to that hard to cover under eye area, this is the one. I prefer to warm it up with my fingers before applying to the eye area. If I want to go the extra mile I find layering Cle de Peau under lancome Effacernes waterproof under eye concealer equals perfection. Now that you’ve covered up those bags under your eyes from partying all night, please do something about the stench of alcohol leaking out of your pores!
..when it comes to pores, duh. So I use Clinique’s Pore Minimizer instant perfector. This light weight cream minimizes the appearance of pores, eliminates oil, and gives a silky soft surface to decorate with your fave makeup. A little goes a long way. I’ve had one tube for over a year. When your pores minimize, the guys maximize!
…of impurities, dead skin cells, black heads, pore blockers, etc. It’s easy with Giovanni D:tox system Purifying Facial Mask. The mask is full of natural ingredients, most importantly charcoal and volcanic ash. The volcanic ash works to extract and absorb pollutants, while activated charcoal pulls the deepest impurities to the surface. Unlike other mud or clay masks, this one goes on smoothly and swiftly. As with any mask, my hotsytotsy recommendation is to do it twice a week right after a hot shower. It is around $10, which is super cheap for an organic,vegan, amazeball mask. An awesome bonus is 5% of all proceeds from any Giovanni D:tox system product goes to the National Breast Cancer foundation. So now that you did something good, go do something bad, very ,very, bad 😉
I’m screaming with ecstasy over one of my fave eye moisturizers, Yes to Carrots Moisturizing Eye Cream! The reason I’m recommending this eye cream is because it is the perfect consistency and weight. I find most eye creams are too thick and heavy. No matter how high quality the ingredients in an eye cream, if it’s too heavy it will cause aging or unfortunate effects. Yes to Carrots is parraben free, and full of awesome ingredients, like carrots (duh), dead sea minerals, and pomegranates. It’s also a socially conscious company that gives A portion of proceeds from every Yes To product toward the Yes To Seed Fund – giving kids fun and engaging ways to connect with Mother Nature and teaching them to lead healthier lifestyles. So get moist and get satisfied 😉 …..
I am an organization freak. I love everything to be in order, clean , neat, tidy, and perfect. This is one of the Many reasons I love my Cat Cosmetics Six Kitten. Cat Cosmetics is a fun, high quality, brand. A uniquely wonderful thing about her products is that you can create your own pallets to contain your faves. I use there already selected pallet ,the Six Kitten. It comes with a double ended makeup applicator and large mirror. My favorite of the six is a three-way tie between the cat & mouse lip gloss, whiskers blush, and Eartha Cat eye shadow duo. Check out this brand and try it yourself and become a perrrrrfect little sex kitten…..
Makeup Forever has come out with a line called HD . It was created to give the look of perfection at all times, even under the unforgiving lights and lens of an hd camera. I am a fan of a lot of their products. One in particular I use all the time is their HD Powder. What ever mineral makeup you use, I recommend you use this as your powder to set it. I use it over both liquid and powder foundations. Not only does it set your makeup, it also controls oil and leaves a perfectly natural matte look. My favorite thing about this product is the feel of it. It’s amazingly silky and soft. So fool everyone into thinking you have perfect skin, with nothing but the radio on 😉
I am never without my lip gloss. I love it for the shine, and color pop, it adds to my face. Even more, I love the feeling of silky smooth lips. At the moment I’m really enjoying my Sue Devitt lip enhancing gloss in Bermuda Triangle. The color is very subtle, and the shine is perfect. It’s not thick and gooey like some other popular brands. I don’t notice it making my lips any plumper then usual, but I have big lips so it’s not that easy to tell. All Sue Devitt products are filled with healthy, natural, skin care ingredients. So don’t feel bad if your gloss gets all over a certain someone’s body 😉
I recommend Neutorgena Oil Free Pink Grapefruit Acne Cleanser for those with oily skin. I think it’s a bit much if you have dry skin. Neutrogena is definitely a brand you can trust and this is one of their best products. It quickly removes makeup (even eye makeup) as well is cleaning out your pores. I notice a difference after one use. It’s full of natural awesomeness like grapefruit and vitamin c’s. Which is more than what I can say about your D’s…
