Complexion

Six easy steps to the perfect complexion. 

1. Hydrate with a moisturizer

2. Protect with sunscreen 

3. Prime with Primer

4. Apply correct shade of medium coverage foundation

5. Conceal blemishes or under eye-circles with concealer 

6. Set with loose powder, buffing into the skin

Eye Brows

Eyebrow shape is one of the most important parts to beauty. Your eyebrow shape depends on your facial features. It can help you look younger and "lift" the eye so it appears firmer. You want your eyebrows to start at the beginning of your eye, start an arch at the end of your iris, and end diagonal to the end of your eye. 

Photos

Art, and music are another major factor when dealing with what I'm inspired by and what I feel is beautiful.

I am obsessed with "Old Hollywood", the golden age inspires my anesthetic choices everyday. 

Hair Care

Two really great hair products from Beauty Fix's kits are Kronos' over night hair treatment and Jonathan's hairspray. The over night treatment makes my hair feel stronger and a lot shiner when I wash the treatment in the morning. I've tried numerous hairsprays and by far, Jonathan's Finish Control hairspray is the best! It's not greasy or makes my hair feel like straw. It's a vegan botanical-infused hairspray that actually makes my hair feel healthier but is pricey at $30. 

 

Perfect Complexion

I've found a product that gives you a flawless complexion and it's Redpoint's Noc-out Cover-up compact. The compact has three different shades inside it: a peachy beige to reduce eye circles, a salmon color to mask sun spots and a yellow color to hide inflamed blemishes! I use it every day and now you can never tell when I have an irritated blemish or not enough sleep. 

Create Your Own Spa At Home

Have time to relax in the bath? If you do you should try Me! Bath's bath ice cream scoops. Place one of these ice cream shaped bath balls in with your bath and you'll love it! These fun scoops fizz in the water and give your body intense moisture while in the bath. I used mine and my dry body was nourished for days.

 

After using the bath ball, use Kerstin Florian's Spa Spray. It is pure neroli water that soothes, hydrates and tones your skin. Spray all over your body and lock in the moisture from your bath and feel refreshed and rejuvenated!

 

Products!

One of my favorite products from my Beauty Fix kit is Decleor's Instant Radiance Moisturizer. The moisturizer has pearly micro-particles that illuminate your skin, leaving you looking like an angel. The product is lightweight and non-greasy and is best to be used in your morning regimen. 

A great moisturizer for the body would be iQ Derma's Firmeceuticals Body Firming Gel. Not only does it give your body great hydration, but it improves the look of firmness and reduces cellulite. I've been using it about once everyday for the past week and I've noticed a difference in my skin, my cellulite is less visible and I feel an overall more firmness, which is exactly what we all want! 

Product Feed back

So in my major Beauty Industry Marketing and Merchandising, we are given products to test out and give feed back on. This last week we received some really great products. One product that I really love and have been using everyday is Skindinavia's Makeup Finishing Spray. The product holds and sets your makeup and is paraben and oil free. It feels light weight and refreshing on your skin. Another favorite product of mine is Pur~lisse's Pur-lip comfort. It's not sticky on  your lips and is very moisturizing. Degree is a line I wouldn't typically buy from but their Classic Romance body mist is amazing. I love everything to do with rose, so I like the scent a lot. 

Inspirations

Everyday I strive to be motivated, inspired and find the beauty in what is around me. Here are some photos that embody this! 

" After All, Tomorrow Is Another Day"

So, I'm just going to start right off talking about one of my favorite movies, Gone with the Wind, that I'm actually watching right now. =) While spending every summer with my Grandparents, my Grandma would make all of us grand children watch this 1939 classic. Growing up watching Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler made me idolize the 40’s and the 50’s. The actress Vivien Leigh plays a great role in my eyes as a thing of beauty. Something that is very interesting is in my Nylon Book of Beauty; there is a section on actresses that are icons to the beauty industry. Vivien Leigh has her own page and it suggests products that she would like or that are inspired by her. The first is Tarte’s Lip Gloss in Rhett and Scarlett, which is a beautiful duo gloss in crimson red and pink champagne. The second product is Almay’s Green Eye Palette that would complement her bright green eyes. Cartier’s fragrance in “So Pretty” is the last product reminiscent of her for its grace, charm and lush floral scent.
