Simple Summer Face

Back today with a fun and simple makeup post

As you know from a previous post, the importance of SPF and protecting your face is paramount

Now, esp in the summer I tend to wear less makeup. My face is tanner [ woop woop ] and overall my skin is clearer

I have a very simple routine that I am going to share only because people tend to ask a lot! And they assume I wear more makeup than I do { since I work in the industry }

But my motto is Less IS more..... In the skincare aspect as well as makeup

makeup is meant to enhance features rather than covering them up or trying to change them. So ladies I challenge you to pick out your best feature and just roll with it

Here's my products I generally use on a day to day basis with some tweaks depending on where I am going...
1. Dior Powder Foundation Brush // what I put my Pur on with. Of course any fluffy brush will work. I also adore this brush line
2. IT Cosmetics Ball brush // for bronzer and blush. I wash it every other day
3. IT Cosmetics lip gloss // the perfect everyday nude color
4. Smith's Rosebud lip balm // for everyday and night
5. Cargo blush // perfect coral with a hint of shimmer THIS is also an ultimate fave
6. Pur Minerals foundation  // Atlanta based mineral makeup & pretty much all the foundation I ever use
7. Too Faced bronzer // smells like chocolate. le duh why else would I use it????? Also love this one
8. RMS Living Luminizer // think--- glowy not shimmery & made from coconut oil YUM

So pretty much, apply my favie sunscreen [ who wants wrinks??? ]

Then apply my Pur, bronzer, blush, luminizer etc.

Super simple but very pretty and it takes 5 mins cause I ain't got time to spend all day doing makeup

I have better things to do....like drink green juice...

^^^^^Dropped my blush that morning......

ugh hate that sh!t

The result is tan and glowy

Always drinking my fave juice

 Wanna see a brow and eye post?????

Hope you enjoyed a peek into my summer face routine

Keep Your Body Smooth & Soft During Winter

So wintertime is almost upon us and it is getting tougher to keep our skin soft, supple, and properly moisturized. As much as I talk about keeping your face moisturized, keeping your body moisturized is just as important! We tend to forget about the parts below the neck. I always amp up my routine for the winter because we use the heat more and its colder out which both play a part in drying out our skin. I am going to show you some of my favorite products to keep smooth and flake free during the winter.

Dry Brushing

The first thing I do is use a dry brush all over my body daily. This may sound strange, but you brush in upward strokes starting at your feet all the way to your neck. It stimulates your blood flow and circulation, as well as decreases cellulite. There are actually many more amazing benefits to dry brushing that are beneficial to your health. I use this dry brush daily.

Exfoliate

You all know how much I love Indie Lee products from this post, so you know her body scrub must be amaze! I would suggest using a body scrub a couple times a week to keep your dead skin at bay. The dry brush does help with exfoliation but in the winter you need something stronger. With minimal ingredients and yummy essential oils, I know you will love this scrub! Plus its big so it will last you forever! Purchase here!

Moisturize

Probably the most important! I love the feeling of silky, smooth legs so after exfoliation it is key to moisturize well. One of my favorite brands is John Masters Organics. And one of my favorite scents of all time is the John Masters Blood Orange Body Milk. It smells good enough to eat! Literally! So some people think its necessary to switch to a heavy body butter in the winter but I feel that if you stay exfoliated regularly you should be just fine. Unless you have abnormally dry skin<<<<in that case load up on a heavier one ;)

John Masters also has this body milk in body wash form [YUM]

Hope you enjoyed lovelies!
