TINTED MOISTURIZERS

If you are like me that in the summer time I enjoy feeling my skin hydrated but covered you will definitely love these tinted moisturizers out there.

So the fun part is that these products are so amazing they are 2 in 1. They hydrate your skin while at the same time providing a tiny bit of color to ensure you carry yourself with an even skin tone wherever you go to. So I have 3 products that I would like to recommend for you. One of them is my favorite because not only does it have tint and moisturizer but it also provides you with a luminescent glow. For the most part all tinted moisturizers will have SPF, super important to buy products that have SPF 15 or higher. Enjoy.

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizers comes in 10 shades & has SPF 15. $42




STILA Illuminating tinted Moisturizers SPF15. Has 2 different shades plus a bronzer. $32




SMASHBOX Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15. Has 5 different shades. $30

Cheek Tints & Creams... Some of my Favorite!

This summer what we want to accomplish is a flawless skin full of radiance and luminosity. So what better than using tints and creams rather than our normal powder blushes. When u use a liquid/creamy base for a blush your skin looks even more hydrated. In the summer the look is mostly shimmery and vivid, not matte.

So here are my product recommendations for this post.

HD MICROFINISH Blush
These amazing cream blushes come in 14 colors. It naturally shapes and gives a natural highlights look for instant luminosity. $ 25






BENEFIT Bene Tint
This product can be use for lips and cheeks. It is time efficient and leaves you looking natural and fresh. It comes in 2 colors. $28


Rose



Possy Pink

Primers what to use....

How many of us use a face primer after our moisturizer but before our foundation? Whoever does us face primer knows how amazing the skin feels right after you apply it right? So here I am again recommending some great products for any budget. Always remember BEAUTY does not have to be expensive... Here are my favorite face primers.

Shall we start with L'oreal

L'OREAL just came out with a line of amazing products that are called Studio Secrets Professional Perfecting base and Studio Secrets Professional Color Correcting Primers. I previously talked about the Studio Finish Perfecting base, and the reasons why we should have that product in our makeup drawers. So now what's next...

L'OREAL Studio Secret Professional Color Correcting Primers. There are three colors...
Green - Anti redness
Tan- Anti-dull skin primer gives a radiant healthy glow to medium/dark skins.
Pink- Anti- Dull skin primer illuminates and adds warmth to light complexions

Makeup Forever HD Micro-perfecting Primers are also amazing color primers, these come in a variety of colors, it's lightweight and oil free.
Clear 0- adds luminosity to the complexion

As an FYI a primer will not only enhance your complexions but it will help with minimizing the appearance of pores, and minimal lines as well as smoothing out your complexions making it look and feel silk like.

Until next time enjoy your new primers....

Keep your skin GLOWING with ZUMBA!!!

Believe it or not...

"It's no secret that exercise has important benefits for the entire body. But what many people don't realize is that our skin is the largest organ of our body, and thus, the benefits can be enormous," says Audrey Kunin, MD, a Kansas City, Mo., dermatologist and author of The DERMAdoctor Skinstruction Manual.

When we think about exercise we automatically relate it to getting fit, loosing weight, toning, and some people may see it like BORING. But, now there is yet another amazing reason as to why we should exercise our bodies frequently.

In humans, skin is the largest part of the integumentary system; what a big word, it is just a Latin word that means "to cover". Well, anyways our skin is so amazing that we should focus on taking care of it on a daily basis. Not only is the primary protector of our bodies but it is our insulation system, our thermometer, it activates vitamin D (which we get from sun exposure) and it is just another element that makes us look beautiful. Can you only imagine a body without skin?? Umm, not a pretty image right?.

So with that being said I want to share some tips to ensure we all maintain a healthy glowing skin.

1. Cleanse your skin at least twice a day. According to your skin type choose a cleanser that best fits your needs.
2. Always wear sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher to avoid any skin damages from sun exposure. Use a moisturizer and a foundation that have SPF to always be protected. At nigh use a richer and creamier moisturizer. Try to apply your moisturizer while the skin is still a bit wet, it will lock in the moisturizer better.
   
3. Exfoliate regularly (twice a week) to remove unwanted dead cells.
4. NEVER GO TO BED WEARING MAKEUP. Always remove it, if you don't wear makeup...wash your face anyways.
5. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables which are high in antioxidants (these rejuvenate your skin). It will also aid in preventing breakouts.
   
6. Drink PLENTY of water. Lots of water.... it also prevents breakouts.
   

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY EXERCISE REGULARLY...

• Not only does exercising increase your blood circulation but, it helps to your cells renew faster and more efficiently carrying more nutrients to the skin. Regular exercise also stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and more relaxed than you were before you worked out. It also gives you more energy therefore, it may also increase your desire for pleasure. Now a workout can be super fun!!!

ZUMBA.... FUN. FUN. FUN. For all of you out there that have not yet experience the thrill and excitement of going to a Zumba class, I recommend it to everyone. You will be addicted by the first class, and the benefits of it will be noticeable almost immediately. In another note, who doesn't like Latin music? I thought so.

Here is a preview with Tropa Z Fitness in Houston, Tx. They are an amazing group of instructors who dedicate themselves to make us fit. Check it out ... hope you like it.

I BRING TO YOU ZUMBA....

Try this!

BRIGHT EYES.....NEUTRAL LIPS!!!!


A few new hues for different skin colors; for this spring and summer we should try to do bright eyes with super natural lip color and rose/pink cheek color.


if your skin is a fair/light tone...



Let's play with some matte shimmers with peachy or pale pink hues in the cheeks. The eyes will definitely stand out in a sparkling green/blue creamy shadow (the color I'm talking about is the color of Cancun, Mexico ocean, if you've been there then you will know what I'm talking about), this will look amazing against the alabaster color of fair skin. So when you use such color in your eyes PLEASE ensure your lips are tinted in a creamy nude or a pinky pearl color that will complement the whole makeup overall.


Pale pink blush



if your skin is a medium tone...




You already have a beautiful color, so you don't want to overdo it or ruin the natural flawless look; so take these tips and follow them. Keep in mind that when you are shopping for cheek color you stay with a brown-based blush or a bronzer as a blush. Now think about the color indigo... that's the color you want to put in your eyes. About the lips same thing; NUDES NUDES NUDES.






if your skin is a dark tone...



Dark/tan skin. What a beautiful color? There is so many options for your skin tone but for this spring stick with those vivid eye shadows, neutral lips and coraly cheek shades. For example; why don't you play with bright fresh colors like coral, sun kissed, an bright pinks for your cheeks. These tones will make your complexion look vibrant while at the same time adding some glow. Pair your eye color with a violet/purple shade to enhance the color of your eyes, and again neutral reddish/brown lips. But remember when your doing bright eye shadows do light or neutral lips. You will be ready for a night out or a day at the mall in any minute.

Secret Find

Colors for the Spring/Summer 2010

Pink and orange... is spring ahead?

We all get tired of seeing the same colors over and over again; Red, plums & neutrals? This coming season, sunny shades of fuchsia and coral are making our cheeks, lips and outfits look refreshed. Don't think that the gold and bronzed looks are out of the picture rather think about how you can spike these looks with a bit more color. So let me recommend some popular colors and brands that will suit you good this season.





Don't hesitate to try out a new shade of pink in your cheeks or lips. Dare to step outside the box with new colors that will make your spring look fascinating. To start off you can go with the Tarte lip stain, which is like a lip balm and it applies just a dab of color. If you are already use to color then try that dusty rose from Lorac, It will dazzle your lips. And, if you wanna keep it safe go with the sun kissed orange tones. OK till next time ladies enjoy the colors of spring.
