This is How I Roll

Once a month I get a botanical facial which helps my skin stay clean and healthy. Then, every night before I go to sleep I use our Skin Therapy Waterless Face Elixir, and I squeeze 3-4 drops into palm of my hand. I gently rub my palms together, and I inhale the stress-relieving scent of Néroli.
I apply the oil to damp face, neck and décolleté, pressing lightly into the skin to aid absorption.

In the morning, I wake up and my skin feels like heaven. I take a shower and then after I brush my teeth I splash my face with very cold water.
Cold water energizes my skin and brings out a natural pink tone. Because my skin is normal to oily, I don’t feel the need to use a moisturizer but I do use our Honey Silk Waterless Tint, which is formulated with Honey Extract, Shea Butter and vitamins. It is the only foundation that keeps my skin hydrated, healthy looking and super smooth throughout the day.

Then I move into my cheeks, adding a pinch of highlighter by using our Honey Glow Waterless Balm I apply very little mascara to just add some contrast to my eyes. I love The Colossal by Maybelline; the brush really works well with my thin lashes. Finally, I finish my look with a red lip color. Depending on where I am going, sometimes I dab a pinch of color on my lips for a “just bitten” look, or for more serious meetings, I apply a vibrant dose of color.
My favorite go-to lipstick shades in our Matte Velvet Waterless Lip Colour are Mia, Poppy, Sophia, Stella, and Eva.

Never Again

I recently tried a waterproof mascara, I was actually testing a formula and I wasn’t told it was waterproof. Oh My God, I lost half of my lashes trying to remove this waterproof mascara. Nothing worked, not the wipes, not the oils, absolutely nothing. I swore to never try any waterproof mascara. My eyes hurt for two days, they were sore and I could still feel the residue left on my thin lashes. So yes, never again.

My Favorite On Screen Beauty Look

I am a classic girl; I love very clean looks. My everyday look is black mascara (non-waterproof LOL), a pinch of colour on the cheeks and a bold red lipstick. My favorite on screen beauty look is Gwyneth Paltrow in “Great Expectations.”
For me “less is more, but with a twist”.
