Back in action!

Hi everyone! I haven't updated my blog in quite some time now because I had a few personal issues I had to take care of. And if I could teach anyone anything, it's that you need to take care of yourself before you can give to others! With that being said, be prepared for new videos coming to the page and more tips and tricks to make your makeup routine a little easier. God Bless!

Love,
Nikki

The best face wash you will ever use.

Have you ever just strolled down the aisles of Target and said to yourself "I'm gonna try something new today." Whether it be shampoo, soap, or even deodorant! Last week, I did just that and came across Neutrogena's latest "Naturals" collection. Neutrogena Naturals is their latest line of products that contain no harsh chemicals, dyes, parabens, or any of that yucky stuff. I went ahead and bought their facial wash+makeup remover in one.


When I got home, I was excited to put this face wash to the ultimate test. All day, I had been wearing waterproof eyeliner and mascara which is a pain in the butt to take off if you don't have a makeup remover handy. I washed my face with the face wash and lightly rubbed it over my top lids, underneath my eyes, and lashes. Not only did it not burn one bit, but after I rinsed all of it off, my face was 100% makeup free! I was so shocked! It didn't even leave any left over mascara under my eye area. My skin is looking clearer than it has been in awhile and I think it's all because of this face wash (plus cutting soda out of my diet! haha).

If any of you know me, you know that I won't even take medicine if it's not holistic and all of my body wash and lotions are usually from Lush or any other companies that make naturally derived products. Usually these kind of products are double or triple in cost and it does get pretty pricey. So $7.99 for a 6 Fl Oz. for a natural face wash is a steal! I recommend this to anyone, especially us ladies that are guilty of falling asleep with our makeup still on. Have you discovered any truly great products recently? If so, please post!

A Makeup Artists' go-to product to get makeup to stay put!

Makeup artist have their own tricks that they use to keep makeup from not going anywhere. While I have tried so many various primers, powders, and other makeup sealers - I came across this gem of a product...


Model in A Bottle!

Albite the cheesy name, this stuff truly works! It has a nice mint scent to it and all you need is two spritz and your makeup will be sweatproof. Another makeup artist told me about this product and I'm so happy that she did. Even OPRAH has boasted about how great this stuff is! If you have trouble with makeup that tends to smudge or just wear off during the day, give this stuff a try and I promise you will be happy that you did. Also, if you do order it, use the code "FF20" for 20% off - that takes care of your shipping costs ;-)

It's a snowy day where I am at so expect some tutorials to be in the next post ;-)

Love and snow angels,
Nikki
