I have always been a fan of Benefit, I love their stores, I love their packaging, they always have innovative cosmetics. Owned and originated by 2 women in San Francisco it’s a line with a decent price point for Great make up. Ok soooo First on the list:

ERASE PASTE:

This wonderful little pot holds one of my favorite concealers I use it all of the time and it stays wonderfully. There are 2 shades but both suit a wide range of skin tones :) 

HIGH BEAM:

I am a Huge Fan of Highlighters and this one is on the top of my list! You can wear it with or with out make up for beautiful healthy glow all day! To accompany this another favorite and somewhat NEW product I’ve recently used is GIRL MEETS PEARL another highlighter that gives you a Lovely Glow.. (Check Back for a Video Tutorial)

CORALISTA: I use this perfect little Blush nearly everyday it’s a lovely shade. LOVE IT! 

BENE-TINT: HELLOOO LIP and CHEEK STAIN! There is also a Pocket Pal size of this with a clear gloss. I am in LOVE with Lip Stains and have found very few I would suggest for nearly anyone and that you can use everyday! This is one of them, If you are new to the Staining World just know it is not a lipstick or a lip gloss and it does not leave a thick or sticky layer on your lips and it will stay all day, BUT again it will STAY so start with a little bit at a time and let yourself adjust ( I will also do a Tutorial for this )

AND JUST FOR FUN… BATHINA: This is a lovely body glow to keep you looking Sexy! ;) 

There are many other things I would suggest from Benefit but these are a few of the things in my collection. Comment Below with any other FAVES you would like to see or ideas for blogs, tutorials or questions.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!! 

So I’ve been using this new morning scrub made out of things you have right in your very own kitchen. It is a great exfoliator, it also helps to even out skin tone by reducing and preventing hyper-pigmentation such as age spots and freckles! 

Ingredients:

Lemon Juice ( You can use the plastic lemons ;)) 

Sugar ( I use Sugar in the Raw)

and just a couple cotton rounds. 

Ok So…

STEP 1:

Give your face a quick wash, you can remove eye make up with just a little bit of olive oil. 

STEP 2: 

Soak cotten rounds in Lemon juice then top with a pinch or so of Sugar. 

STEP 3:

With your face still wet/damp scrub your face with the lemony concoction you’ve made avoiding eyes of course (ouch) make sure you get the hair line well as oils from your hair and sweat can cause break outs, also this works great on your lips as an exfoliant! 

STEP 4: 

Rinse and Admire your fresh glowy skin. 

I use this about 4-5 times a week, it works great at night too! 

Have a lovely lemony day everyone! xxxx
