Makeup Removal: Cold Cream

If you wear foundation or heavy sunscreen, you know how difficult it is to remove it. I have tried the oily removers from well known department store brands, but find them too greasy on my combination skin. Cold cream is my solution. I’m not talking about that large white jar of your mother’s Pond’s cold cream. I am talking about one made with rose extract that is extra gentle on your skin. Sold at Bath and Body Works, the C.O. Bigelow Rose Wonder Cold Cream does not clog pores and is fragrance free. And if you are skeptical, they sell a travel size version for a couple of bucks so your buyer’s remorse won’t be so bad.

What's In Your Tool Box???

Moisturizer, concealer, neutral eye shadows, a great black mascara…what are these? Great basics are what they are. But what about your basic tools? I’m sure we all lose one here and there and then buy a cheap replacement, thinking to ourselves, “I’ll just get another good one down the road.” Well ladies, it’s time to throw out those cheap tweezers and eyelash curlers from Target and CVS. Let’s go back to the best of the best. And for those newbies out there, the best are Tweezerman for tweezers and Shu Uemura for eyelash curlers. These basics will last you for years, so don’t be afraid to spend $40 on yourselves.

Perfect Ten Brush Set ($150 Value)

Ladies I know that most of us probably still buy our brushes from Walmart or Target but in the words of Beyonce, "Let me upgrade you". The quality of the brushes you use on your face can have a dramatic impact on how evenly and smooth your makeup goes on your face. Yes brushes from shops like Sephora can be expensive but right now you can get the Perfect Ten Brush Set for only $72. That is steal because a good powder brush can easily run you $34. So if you don't believe that brushes can make a difference here is your change to prove me wrong. Invest in a set of good brushes and see if your makeup doesn't go on smoother and more evenly creating that flawless look we all strive for!

When SPF Counts

Did you know that free radicals in our atmosphere as well as the sun can damage our skin creating wrinkles and making us look older than we should? So in keeping with our beauty series I mentioned in a previous blog the importance of using a moisturizer with at least a SPF 15 in order to keep your face protected from the suns rays. Well I recommend the Alba Hawaiian Suncare line. They offer sunscreen in SPF 15 and SPF 30. I recommend the Green Tea SPF 30 suncscreen it contains antioxidants and is non greasy so you can use this as a daily moisturizer under you makeup while receiving maximum protection from the sun. Alba is available at CVS Pharamacy, HEB, Walgreens, and Whole Foods. So stay cool this summer knowing that your face is protected.

Ladies it is important to note for all skin types that you need to be using a moisturizer with a SPF to protect your face from the suns daily rays so if you aren't using now it is never too late to start.
