What girl do you know that doesn't enjoy indulging in "products"?
I know a lot of us don't always have time
to have a daily facial regimen

or time for an extra soak in the spa...
but doesn't it feel good?

Don't you just wish that you could have
a mani/ pedi once every six month,
or a massage every other year?
That is how I feel.

Women's beauty products are SO expensive!
My husband once told me about a research study he read,
So many top of the line Women's beauty products
are made of the same ingredients as
Men's low budget items.
Isn't that something?
I don't splurge very often on these products
because they do last for quite sometime,....
but here are my favorites!
This list.. is in order of how I apply the product
as well as how it is best used!
First off,
Men's low budget items.

This list.. is in order of how I apply the product
as well as how it is best used!
First off,
All Clean- Fresh Foaming Cleanser
All Clean Fresh Foaming Cleanser For Normal Skin quickly lifts away makeup, dirt and debris. Glycerin conditions and softens the skin. Tangerine and Coriander refresh and soothe.
To use, massage over wet face. Rinse thoroughly.
2nd, I use...
Soothing Face Tonic
This alcohol-free hydrating formula softens, tones, and refines skin
-- gently -- without tightening or irritation.
Infused with Cucumber Extract and natural Lavender
to instantly soothe and calm.
Next, I apply a conglomerate of Mary Kay products on different areas of my face. I am a Mary Kay Consultant, but don't nearly take advantage
of the great opportunity for extra $ it could offer me.
I do however use my employee discount to afford
getting so many of the newly released neat products to try out and use!
I also have my favorites that I have used for years & order time and time again!
Some days, I use Mary Kay foundation, & eye primer, and lip primer,
& so on to prepare my face for the basic products,
so that when it is applied it looks the best possible...

Mary Kay Mineral Powder Foundation
A weightless, skin-perfecting powder foundation that provides build-able coverage.
I then apply,
Sheer Mineral Pressed Powder
This powder is designed to illuminate the skin for a more radiant tone.
Next, I apply the fun stuff! The fun stuff is blush, eyeliner, eye shadow, bronzer, and mascara.
I use a mixture of these next few products... I look at it like a painting & blend colors to get the shades I want! I have a huge collection of colors from both Mary Kay & Bobbi Brown & I love both!
All of these products work best when applied with appropriate brushes! It is so important to have a brush set that you love.. that doesn't leave your face hairy & applies products equally.
