Skin Deep

I'm sure you've heard the saying, "Beauty is only skin deep". Do you know what it means?  Here's what I found;

Meaning: Physical beauty is superficial. A pleasing exterior is no guide to a person's interior or character.

Now ponder this. If your skin was let's say, your car. Would you never wash it? Would you use bleach or chlorine to wash it? Now, we're not talking about getting new rims or new headlights. If your happy with the size of your headlights more power to ya!  I'm talking about simple, needed cosmetic maintenance.  Keep your car (skin) looking new as long as possible. 

With all that said, here are a few fabulous products to maintain your shine.

Lip care from Pop Beauty

-easy to apply

-goes on kind of like a lip gloss

Pros:  Removes the dry skin on your lips and makes them smooth and soft.

Cons:  The tube doesn't come with information on it's content or how to use.

Pop Beauty has a lot more things to check that I haven't got around to but your welcome to check them out at Ulta Beauty.  Would love to hear what you think about their products.

Micro-Dermabrasion from Rodan & Fields (the gals behind Proactive)

Pros:  Polishes skin with a sugar-and-salt scrub which also contains vitamins C and E.  Left my skin so smooth and soft, even on the top of my nose.

Cons:  It was a bit tricky getting it on at first, it's pretty pasty but worth the effort.

Face moisturizer from Lather

Pros:  It smells pretty good.  Left my skin very moisturized and healthy looking.

Cons:  Couldn't think of one...hmm.

Body Scrub from Lather

-First thing I noticed when I opened the jar was the smell...A-MAZ-ING.

-It may not look so fab but trust me it sure feels fab once you've washed it off.

Pros:  Left my skin once again, soft and smooth.  The smell is almost therapeutic.

Cons:  It's a bit messy but totally worth it.

Can't wait to try out all the other Lather products.

Take care of your skin Darlins, it doesn't have to cost much.  It just takes your time.

Beautiful You

I remember when I was in the 9th grade, there was this girl who would come in to our P.E. class with her make-up totally missed up.  First thing I thought to myself was, is she playing around or was this really how she put on her make-up.  I mean her lipstick was all over the place and her eyeliner was thick and uneven. So I asked her NICELY, if she had done her make-up on her own. That's when I found out she was mentally disabled and some girls in a previous class decided to have a little fun with her and did her make-up.  The poor girl never knew she looked like a clown.

Wow, I can't tell you how mad that made me.  My friends, I would call that BULLYING!  To think people could be so cruel.  From that day on, I told that girl to tell those other girls not to do her make-up anymore and come here to P.E. where I would do it for her.  It was then that I realized, how much I loved to do make-overs and how much I loved to help people feel beautiful. 

So today I start my new blog series, Beautiful You.  Blog post about beauty, skin care and all my little tid-bits that I've learned over the years from being a freelance make-up artist to a skincare advisor at Estee Lauder and The Body Shop.  For those of you who know me, know I am a skincare junkie.  I am the girliest girl E-VER!  So it's truly my pleasure to be the Ginnie pig for new products and old alike.

Check back tomorrow for my very first post on some lovely skincare products. 

Dedicated to you Grandma.
