new purchases!
I've picked up some new products...here are my thoughts!!
HAVANA SHIMMER - LISE WATIER (FACE & BODY)
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.
*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!

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!!
