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.

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. old_hollywood_sign.jpg picture by sensesgurl187beautywithstringofpearls.jpg picture by sensesgurl1873g06310u_preview.jpg picture by sensesgurl187marilyn-monroe-hair-styles-09.jpg picture by sensesgurl187glamour3.png picture by sensesgurl187marilyn_monroe_gallery_7.jpg picture by sensesgurl18720sn30sgirl.jpg picture by sensesgurl187Jean.jpg picture by sensesgurl187

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. Decleor


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! IQ Derma
