Enhancing Beauty One Brushstroke at a time…
I attended The Makeup Show New York 2012. It was bigger & better than previous years. I expect this trend to continue through the years to come.
Here are some of the things I purchased at The Makeup Show New York… I also talk about items I received during the blogger’s preview.

I’ve been converted into a Lush junky. My husband surprises me with some of my favorite soaps from there every now and again. Once Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner was released, I couldn’t wait to try it. The only thing that held me back was the price tag. I think it is pretty expensive. I’m the type of person who slathers on the shower gel, lotion, body oil etc. I couldn’t think about spending $29 for 7 oz of product that wasn’t going to last past a week.
The other day, since my sister fell-in love with my Sultana of Soap, she stopped by Lush Union Square to pick-up the soap for herself, and got me Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner. She got me the 1.5 oz Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner. She didn’t get one for herself because she said the scent was too strong, however, I love it.
The ingredients in Ro’s Argan Body Conditioner include, argan oil, cocoa butter, brazil nit oil, almond oil and shea butter. The strongest notes are cocoa butter tinged witha light scent of roses. After you shower, the scent lingers, but it isn’t too strong. Your skin is left feeling super smooth and soft.

I really wish Lush would make a similar conditioner with the scent of Sultana of Soap, then I would be in HEAVEN!

Skincare routines are important to maintaining beautiful, clear skin. It is also important when wearing makeup. Flawless makeup application is achieved by having “good” skin as a base.
No routine is the same from one person to the next. Nor should the routine stay the same from season-to-season. Why? Your skin may be drier during the colder months, which may mean you need more hydration/moisture and incorporate exfoliation to rid your skin of dry, dead skin. During the Spring & Summer months you will want to include lighter moisturizers, and products that contain SPF.
Below are items I currently use during my daytime routine. It is very simple. Both my night and day routines include using my Clarisonic MIA and Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser.
My evening routine is similar to my daytime skincare regimen with the addition of masks, and serums.
Check my video below to see what I use in my routine & how.
