new purchases!

I've picked up some new products...here are my thoughts!!

 
STILA ONE STEP BRONZE

*gives a subtle glow ( however, I'm pretty browntown - soooo it may show up better on lighter skin tones)
*has a hint of stila's famous "kitten" shade in the mix, so gives a great sheen, (not over the top), but I like it!
*can be worn alone, or as a base. either way, you do see a subtle difference.
 
final thoughts: wish it had an SPF, but I will be using this all summer, probably on every client too! 
it does seem to suit everyone's skin tone, as it is not red base, but the mix of all different tones and finishes great a great summer glow!



HAVANA SHIMMER - LISE WATIER (FACE & BODY)

*what can I say? everyone who know's melO, know's that LISE WATIER is my fave, and so is this product!
*GOOD LUCK -trying to find it. usually sells out the minute it comes out, as it is limited edition.
*however, if you can find it, grab 1! or 2 or 3!!! you can use this alllllll yearrrrr round! great to mix with moisturizer, foundation, body cream or on it's own! because it doesn't have chunky glitter, and is a true brown/gold base - it works with everyone, you just have to figure out your mix! (when i'm tan, 1 part havana to 1 part mix, when i'm "less" tan, 1 part havana to 2 parts mix)

final thoughts: one of my all time faves from Watier!

more portfolio stuff!

on my website - I've updated some portfolio work....more to come!!!!! stay tuned!!!!!

summer faves

everyone always asks me, what is your fave products?

I love tooooo many makeup items, but my basic faves for the summer time ARE:

foundation : bare minerals - original formula in medium tan
bronzer : guerlain terracotta bronzer - blondes + brunettes 
concealer : benefit - erase paste # 2 / mac - prolong wear NW25 
lip balm: dior - lip glow
spf: lise watier - sunsmart 30
mascara: hypnose w/p - black 
***these are my basics; everything else varies, but i will post pics of some of my favies of shadows, lipglosses,blushes, etcccccc***


skincare 101
everything starts with SKIN !
current routine:

cleanser : neostrata gel cleanser
toner : (once, twice a week @ night ONLY) neostrata level 2
moisturizer: day - biotherm biosource gel n/c skin
night - neostrata skin brightener + level 2 smoothing lotion
mask - neostrata exfoliating mask 1 - 2 times a week

NOTE: all neostrata products I use have glycolic acid. excellent for exoliation, renewing and smoothing! I probably won't be using all summer, but love it for now because its clearing everything out. my skin looks amazeee. however, use sunscreen, do not sunbathe when using glycolic - its sun sensitive!!
