GREAT FINDS for SPRING & SUMMER!

I have been searching for new products to compliment my new location and in my journeys I have come across some great MUST HAVES for your makeup bags!

Mascara - COVER GIRL - Lash Blast (best new mascara by far! and it keeps popping up in the celebrity m/u bags I am working with too!)

Lip gloss: LOREAL 6 hour infallible gloss - this really lasts until lunch! YOU will be amazed!

Longer Lashes: Extensions or lash primer! This works great by coating the natural lashes so when followed with mascara you are thicker and longer. Lash fibers are great also. Just remember to apply a coat of mascara FIRST and follow with fibers not at base but from 1/2 up last to tip. Then coat with second wipe of mascara and MAGIC!

SUNSCREEN: Go Green and Go organic! All natural sunscreen works better than chemicals and no reaction or clogged pores. Try mineral makeup as a final set and sunscreen protection in your makeup routine. Before finishing grab a mineral makeup with SPF and lightly brush all over your face and chest to protect and set!

BREAKOUTS: Best best for last minute breakouts is sulfur lotion... try my favorite BYE, BYE BLEMISH. As soon as you feel or see the red lump, place on 2-3 nights and it will go away! No woman should be without this product!

TEA for BEAUTY: Drink your way to great skin, rest and beauty! This tea is great!
Yummy ingredients, all natural and made to make you beautiful from the inside out. Great hot or cold! Try Sipping Beauty, if you love tea - you'll love this!

DAY 5: Beauty Tip (A PIMPLE! oh no!)

PROBLEM: I just got a break out! Overnight and just in time for my party... interview... etc.

SOLUTION: Don't stress out! This is what might have caused it in the first place.
Ladies, we all know the joys of hormonal breakouts (they usually occur around the chin/mouth area) and lack of sleep, washing our face, or touching our faces with dirty hands (especially this time of year) are all reasons we wake up with "friends" on our faces.

We NEVER want a breakout - I don't care what anyone says, there is NEVER a good time for a pimple!
Two tricks... get a sulfur based lotion (usually pink with liquid) my favorite is BYE BYE BLEMISH - I SWEAR by it!
Apply this product at night before bed...don't squeeze or pick - I promise you will just make it worse.
This lotion applied to breakouts and almost soon to be breakouts - will literally suck the life out of the little guy and be gone before you know it.

But before you get rid of your friend, make sure NOT to put HIGHLIGHTER/Concealer on top - if too light it will only draw more attention to the fact you have a pimple. You want to CORRECT the REDNESS and conceal the discoloration (we can't control the texture or inflammation). So to do this, grab a concealer similar to your skintone with a olive/green undertone - this will neutralize the redness! Just put a bit on your finger and tap into your skin until it melts into your skin and the redness goes away! Walllllllllllllllllllah! All gone!

Best wishes!
