Save Where You Can

I almost never pay retail price for my beauty products. As a licensed cosmetologist I get discounts on so many beauty products. This is one of my favorite perks that comes along with being in beauty industry.

Keep in mind that some companies will only give discounts to those working as a professional makeup artist, and some will extended discounts to cosmetologists.

If you are in the industry don’t miss out on all the discounts 🙂 😁😍

Ariana Grande 💫

There is something really cool about being in a sky high building at night with a beautiful view of downtown Los Angeles.

I met Ariana Grande last night. She’s the sweetest person ever & she smells very yummy (like a heavenly vanilla cupcake). She asked if I wanted to take a selfie with her & even though I’m not great at taking selfies I did it. I absolutely love Ariana’s voice, she is truly beautiful inside & out.

At the end of the night I made my best friend (aka my hubby) take a selfie with me lol.

Babor Cleansers

 

 

Two of my favs

 

hyol

 

HY-ÖL®, a hydrophilic cleansing oil suitable for all skin types, contains pure, natural soybean, sesame and peanut oils, as well as quillaja extract, which
enhances the cleansing effect. HY-ÖL® is used in combination with the Phytoactive for the specific skin type to remove both oil- and water-soluble impurities gently yet thoroughly, without leaving any feeling of tightness. It lets skin breathe freely and gives the complexion a fresh, rosy appearance.
Free of preservative

The Beverly Hilton Gift Bag

Yesterday at work we got a cute tote filled with Loreal products.  I love the lip colors!! I did some swatches on me & my co-workers hand & we both couldn’t remove the product after much scrubbing, definitely a very long lasting lip stain. Next we received an eyeliner with a built in smudger (we’ll see how that goes). Also in my bag was an instant eye smoother called Revitalift miracle blur, I can always use an eye cream. Oh & the last thing in my bag were two bottles of Elnett hairspray which I gave away because I think it’s one of the worst smelling hairsprays every made.FullSizeRender-73 IMG_8012 IMG_8011 IMG_8009-2 IMG_8010 IMG_7989 IMG_7986 FullSizeRender-72

Fake Eyelashes

I love wearing false lashes, especially at night. I started wearing fake eyelashes when I was like 18, lol. I don’t have falsies in the first and third picture, I wanted you to see how extreme the change is. So if you want to make your eyes really pop add these to your makeup look. FullSizeRender-71 FullSizeRender-70 FullSizeRender-69 IMG_7993
P.S.

I would not get eyelash extensions, ever.

I don’t wear falsies everyday

There is no mascara that will ever give you full look of fake eyelashes

What’s In Your Diet?

What are “Free radicals”
images-4

A term often used to describe damaged cells, They are “free” because they are missing a molecule, which sends them on to pair with another molecule. These molecules will rob any molecule to quench that need. 

What are “AntiOxidants”

images

Your body uses antioxidants to stabilize the free radicals. This keeps them from causing damage to other cells.

 

 

Avocados:

Filled with antioxidants and are a great source of vitamin c, vitamin e, & fatty acids. They improve skin density & help protect your skin from signs of aging.
