..::Exfoliate! Reveal Your Natural Glow!::..

Exfoliation is a key component to healthy looking and radiant skin. The process of exfoliation involves removing the dead cells from the skin which can cause skin to look dull. When these dead skin cells are removed, you will reveal healthier and more radiant skin. Once your naturally radiant skin has been revealed, makeup and other beauty products can be applied a lot more smoothly and you will look much more refreshed!

Here are some products that you can try that will help you to maintain a healthy glow:


Aveeno Skin Brightening Daily Scrub




This is actually a personal fave and I use it everyday! This scrub is great for evening out the skin tone without harsh ingredients. I like this product because it's gentle enough for sensitive skin unlike a lot of scrubs, making it great for all skin types. It contains lots of great natural ingredients that are good for the skin. I definitely recommend!








Alba Sea Algae Enzyme Facial Scrub





This is another scrub that is great for all skin types. This invigorating scrub contains corn meal, almond oil, sea algae and aloe vera, all of which help to remove impurities, promote healthy circulation of the face, refines skin's texture and gives you rejuvenating moisture. Another great product that I love! This one is only needed 2-4 times a weak.








St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigorating Apricot Scrub






This scrub is a GREAT item to have and you can get it at an AWESOME price..I don't think I have ever paid more that 4 bucks for this item and it works as if I spent 20 bucks on it. It's America's #1 Scrub Brand and from using it for years, I know why. This product is another scrub that is gentle enough for everyday use. It contains antioxidants from apricots that gently cleanses the skin, hydrates and nourishes. It will leave your skin feeling so smooth and you will glow as soon as you rinse the product off of your face. TRY IT, TRY IT, TRY IT!!!

..::MUA Spotlight: Makeup Artist Sam Fine::..























One of the highlights of my makeup artist career so far was the time I got a chance to meet one of my idols in the game celebrity makeup artist Mr. Sam Fine. Sam Fine is an outstanding talent and has painted the faces of many celebs such as Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Vanessa Williams, Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell and supermodel Iman, just to name a few.











I have followed his career, read his books, and watched his DVDs. He is truly an inspiration to me!
