Eyeshadow Base

 I walked into a Sephora one day and told them that I needed an eyeshadow base that will last me through my day. She walked me over to the Urban Decay section and showed me what turned out to be THE BEST eyeshadow base EVER! Tired of your eyeshadow creasing only a short while after puting it on? If you haven't already figured this out, this is the answer to your problems :) I even apply this primer to my eyebrows before coloring them in with pencil/shadow for a look to last all day.

Miracle cream for Eczema

My 5 year old daughter has the worst eczema! Her doctor perscribed her Triamcinolone Acetone Ointment which works wonders for her flare-ups. However, this medication can cause thinning of the skin. I've tried a multitude of products to relieve her constant itching and dryness and have found Shea Butter to be a miracle for her!


Her legs were so soft and smooth only after 2 days of application. I apply this butter on immediately after she showers and when she wakes up in the morning. I've even began using this on my legs after showering at night and absolutely LOVE the moisture it provides!

Foundation

I've tried many different kinds of foundations, MAC, BareMinerals, Stila, Makeup Forever, Dior, etc., (I haven't used drugstore foundations since high school: Covergirl, Revlon, etc.), but my favorite...the one that I keep going back to, is Shiseido.
During the summer months my skin tends to be oilier, so I'll go with a powdery foundation. The Perfect Smoothing compact foundation by Shiseido gives you a flawless look. When winter comes around, the Perfect Refining liquid foundation helps my skin from drying out from that cold wintry air.

Moisterizer

I have never had a problem with acne, however I do have sensitive skin. When my skin doesn't agree with what I'm putting on it, I break out with a pimply-rash. With that said, I can tell you: What works for me may or may not work for you.

I've always been too afraid of trying really expensive skin care products because my face doesn't normally react to a product until after a week or so of using it. Although most department stores have a good return policy, I never wanted to be "that one" who's always returning stuff. Luckily for me, I've found a product that my skin agrees with...






               

                

The Night Recovery cream is amazing! It truly feels as if you've had a mini face lift. The Regenerating Lotion is a lighter moisturizer with SPF15 that will moisturize and protect you skin throughout your day.

 I have many compliments about my skin, and many people ask me what I use. When I reveal my secret moisturizer, I get nothing but a surprised look on their face (I'm thinking that they're thinking, that I'm using something real expensive). Now although you can purchase these products at your local grocery store, they still are quite spendy ($17 - $22), so clip your coupons from P&G!
