Beauty Secrets

I was asked to share some of my beauty secrets.  This is really funny to me, because I don't really have a lot of tips and today I am sitting here in sweats and a ponytail.

But on a typical day this is what I do:

I am currently using the Clinique Skincare System.  I used to switch around with my skin care routine, but I'm trying to just stick with this one.

Repairwear Intensive Night Cream

On days that I blow-dry my hair I use the Umberto brush from Target.  It gives my hair tons of body and blows out the hair really smooth.

Bumble and bumble Brilliantine Hair Styler - Regular Size, 2 oz


  On days that I don't want to use the hair dryer, I use Bumble and bumble brilliantine and just scrunch it and go natural.  It gives the hair a messy, natural curly/wavy look.  I love this because it just looks soft, never that crunchy-look.  That is no good!  


I haven't used a sunless tanner recently because its colder weather, but when I do I love L'oreal Sublime Bronze.  It goes on so smooth and evenly.  It looks natural and I am always complimented on my tan!

I am currently wearing Burberry Beat perfume and I'm almost out of it.  My other all time favorite perfume is Coco Mademoiselle.  

If it's a day that I don't wear perfume I like Kimono Rose by Thymes.  I've heard a lot of people say that they don't like perfumes, but I do.  I love good smells and perfume makes me feel feminine and pretty.




In my make-up bag:

Revlon Colorstay foundation.  I switch between that and Make-Up Forever foundation

Revlon Colorstick concealer-  love it!
Revlon Photo Ready powder
Bronzer!
Mac cream blush

The Balm blush/highlighter
Mac Eyeshadow-  Love it!
Tarte Mascara... they jury is still out on this one.
L'oreal Voluminous Black Mascara is my go to mascara
I'm also trying out Estee' Lauder Sumptuous mascara.  I guess I like mascaras, huh?
Estee Lauder Automatic Eye Pencil in Walnut Brown
I have tons of lipsticks too, but right now I'm using Colorstay liquid lipstick in Regal Rose.
--------------------------------
And these are the brushes that I use from Sephora.  I've had them for years and they are still just as good.


Prestige Brush Set ($325 Value)

What kind of make-up do you use that you love?  
Is there anything you wouldn't want to leave the house without?

I'm glad you posted this! Besides helping us be flies on your wall (I hate that expression)...now I have a reference for a new concealer! I'm using the Rev ColorStay, too, partly thanks to you! (Really like it.)

I'm a perfume girl. Just makes me feel better...prettier. I love it when Justin just hugs me and smells my neck...and my little Preston does the same. Fragrance (whether good or bad) can hold strong memories. I want them to smell certain fragrances and always remember me. ;)

And I agree with Angie...you always look pretty. :)

We are your fan club. Heehee.

Ray Ban サングラスのことについて、ひとりの友人は私に訪ねました。レイバン wayfarerにずっと関心を持っているが、詳しい情報はよくわかりません。ほとんどの情報はネットからなので、そして具体的なレイバン RB2140のモデルについての情報はバラバラだから、集めるには手間が掛かります。
