Top 2 Tuesday...Beauty Secrets:o)


 
Top 2 Tuesday: Beauty Secrets!!
 
1. Makeup Optional Kit by Philosophy
Ladies, if the topic today wasn't beauty secrets, I would NOT be sharing this with you (sorry!)
I am not kidding in any way shape or form when I say that this kit is amazing, and yet somehow magical too.
All of my face products are from Philosophy, I swear by them.
When they came out with this kit, I gave it a shot and I will never use anything else.

Steps to looking beautiful:
1) Start by using Purity facial cleanser
2) Next use the Microdelivery Face Peel by smearing the Vitamin C/resurfacing Peptide crystals all over your face in a circular motion for 30 seconds then leave on your skin for 1-3 minutes. Finally, apply a thin layer of the salicylic acid activator gel. You will see the process working, the crystals will foam and your face will get warm (not hot but warm-this means it's working). Leave on for one minute then rinse (I use a washcloth to make sure I get all of it off). YOU WILL SEE THE DIFFERENCE RIGHT AWAY!
3) Apply When Hope is Not Enough facial serum to make your skin hydrated and smooth.
4) Use Hope in a Jar facial moisturizer (another thing I cannot live without), I use it everyday all year round.
5) Lastly, pat Hope in a Tube eye cream lightly around your eyes.

*You will see that your skin is glowing (nooooooo exaggeration, its really nice to see!) and you will NOT need to wear makeup when you're done!*
You can buy it at Sephora

2. Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup
If you do not use this makeup already, go to a Sephora or Ulta store and try it out!
The year I started working as a waitress is when I started using this makeup and thank goodness I did!

You buff it into your skin so its not just sitting on top, caked on.
It has crushed up minerals in it which makes your skin glow.
They have a HUGE selections of colors that are guaranteed to match your skin.
If you are outside a lot, it has SPF 15 (sometimes 30) in it.
It is all natural so you can literally sleep in it without damaging your skin, plus its oil free.
It will not run off your face like most foundations because it is not liquid, even when you sweat (so you can wear it to the gym or on the beach!!)
Best of all, my makeup routine in the morning is now 10 minutes (start to finish) instead of almost 25! YESSSSSSSSSS!
