My Daily Skincare Routine! MaryKay: TimeWise Miracle Set

Image
I thought it was about time I invested in a good skin care regimen! It's important to start as early as possible to develop good skin care habits.  I unfortunately did not.  I did follow the one cardinal rule throughout most of my 20's. Don't sleep in your makeup!  That was my one rule.  I would always try my best to wash my face off before going to bed.  But now that I exited the roaring twenties and now thirty flirty and thriving I feel its mandatory to include more steps in the skin care routine.   I purchased the TimeWise Miracle Set for Oily Skin after attending a skin care class where I was able to sample all the products.  I fell in love with the moisturizer!  It leaves my skin feeling so incredibly smooth without feeling any greasiness at all!  I have very oily skin, like nasty oily you could fry an egg with my excess oil!  So I hate it when products are super oily or greasy.  The TimeWise Miracle set includes a foaming face wash that has light exfoliants, the mois…

MUA Inspiration: Kevyn Aucoin

Image
If you read my last post I gave you a glimpse into my personal love for makeup story, but I would like to dedicate a separate post to my inspiration to makeup artistry.  While I was living in Santa Barbara I found the book that opened my eyes to makeup as a form or art.  I found Kevyn Aucoin's book "Making Faces" at a yard sale in Isla Vista for one dollar (yeah $1!!) and I fell in love.



I consider this book an essential item in a MUA's kit.  Why because since I began enrolling in different workshops and classes, there is always some pages from "Making Faces" handed it out to us as part of the class materials.  The first half of the book covers everything from skin care and preparation, the facial structure to shading and highlighting.  The second half of the book is a series of celebrity photographs in which Kevyn Aucoin works his magic and transforms them into a classic icon of the past.  Its so had to pick a favorite, he transforms Courtney Love into Jea…
