If you have dry skin use Hair Conditioner on your legs when you shave (instead of soap or shaving cream). It has a GREAT moisturizing effect!!

Use Baby oil on your body while in the shower (after washing). Rub it in and then rinse off (you'll have a layer on your body after). Your skin will be smooth & soft for the whole day.

Face cream with sunscreen is a must! Facial skin is SO sensitive - protection is key to prevent early aging. (I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst Face Cream)

Wash your face before bed - this removes oil & dirt which perverts breakouts & under eye puffiness (makeup can get into the corners of your eyes & create puffiness). (I use Clean & Clear Morning Burst)

Drink LOTS of water (8 glasses per day = to 4 bottles per day) to stay hydrated - keeps the weight off & gives your skin a healthy, moisturized glow.

1) Mix white sugar and olive oil together until you have a paste-like consistency and rub it all over your skin as a wonderful moisturizing exfolient!

try demerra brown sugar with either sunflower or sesame seed oil mixed - even more moisturizing!

I also use face cream with sunscreen - I use La Roche Posay UV 30 and it's AMAZING!!! I highly recommend it!!

Question re: the baby oil - does it feel greasy after? If not, I'd love to try that.

2) Spectro gel cleansing gel.  Won't dry out my skin and prevents breakouts!

3) JASON 84% Aloe Vera moisturizing cream (available at health food stores) on my face.  Since I started using it my face cleared up and I have no dry/red spots!!

4) Marcelle sheer tint moisturizer, adds sheer coverage with a little bit of a shimmer, gives a natural looking glow to my skin!!

I use spectro for dry skin -- TWO THUMBS WAY WAY UP!!

I Love this thread because i am such a beauty junkie.

1. Laura Mercier camoflauge concealer for under eyes is a must.

2. Bobbi Brown liquid powder foundation

3. pout lip gloss. I never ever leave the house without this stuff. it makes my lips look huge and feel minty. I really can't say enough good things about this stuff. You can buy it at holt renfrew and sephora.

4. Benetint by benefit is my choice of cheek colour. It's a stain that lasts all day without rubbig off

5. Shu Umera eyelash curler

That's it for my make up routine. For skincare I use the entire eminence line and I also get monthy micro dermabrasion treatments to keep my skin clear ans soft. For my Hair I love Ojion hair oil which I use once week.

You all probably now understand why FH calls me "high matinence ".

I'm gonna post a few more of my favourite beauty buys!

1. Aveda - uruku cheek lip creme - I only use it on my cheeks.  It gives a very natural, healthy glow.  It takes a little time to master, but it's worth trying and once you got it down pat, the finished look is radiant!!

2. La Roche Posay UV 30 - great moisturizer for day - protects face from uva AND uvb rays (a lot of products LIE about protection from UVA rays and UVA rays are the ones that cause long term skin damage aka wrinkles!)

3. La Roche Posay Sunscreen SPF 60 - as much as I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE having that golden tan...last year I decided NO MORE TANNING.. I did my research and this is the best suncreen I could find!!! Google it and read about it!!!  No more tanning for me....now I use bronzer..which takes me to my next beauty buy...

4. Hoola by Benefit (bronzer) - What I like about this bronzer is that it doesn't have shimmer... Shimmer looks great in the evenings but personally I don't like it in the daytime.  You can totally see the tiny sparkles... This bronzer is so fine that you can't tell you're wearing it!!! I love it...

5. Maybelline Blackest Black Mascara - Love it!! I don't think it's worth spending lots of $$ on mascara and this is a great, cheap beauty buy!

NOW IF YOU JUST ADD THE LAURA MERCIER CONCEALER FROM MY PREVIOUS POST TO THIS LIST...YOU BASICALLY HAVE MY DAYTIME MAKE UP ROUTINE! HAHA
