LET'S TALK SOME SKIN..

There are many amazing skin care brands out their on the market, many of them claim to have pioneered skin care with stem cell research. The one that stands out the most to me, and the one I have used myself if Nugene. They claim them have used scientific research in testing cellular biotechnology. Meaning.. stem cell research through biologically active proteins and cytokines and human growth factors. Amazing right! The catch is they have found that using adipose stem cells (human fat cells) helps with regeneration, repair and revitalizing the skin. the viscosity of this product helps with easy application and removal, it smells out of this world a fresh clean flower- but not overly pungent. Check out their website..   WWW.NUGENE.COM

FLAWLESS MAKE UP TIPS

WE ALL WANT TO ACHIEVE THAT FLAWLESS LOOK WITH GREAT PRODUCTS AND AWESOME TOOLS.

 

 

SOME OF MY FAVORITE STAPLES IN MY MAKEUP KIT ARE THE FOLLOWING:

        THE MINERAL BRUSH IS THE STAPLE IN MY KIT, I AM CURRENTLY USING THE MARYKAY MINERAL BRUSH. AND OHLALA IS IT WORTH EVERY PENNY. THE COVERAGE I GET IS EXACTLY WHAT ON POINT. THE SOFT BRISTLES DON'T LEAVE ANY DEBRI BEHIND OR THOES AWFUL TRACK MARKS. THE AMOUT OF PRODUCT THIS BRUSH DELIVERS IS AMAZING! THE SELLING POINT WITH THIS BRUSH IS THE FACT THAT YOU CAN BUILD YOUR COVERAGE WITHOUT LOOKING CAKEY, BECAUSE NO ONE EVERY WANTS THAT.

• WHEN WORKING WITH MINERAL OR FOUNDATION IN JARS, DON'T FORGET TO LIGHTLY TAP THE PRODUCT INTO THE LID OR A MAKEUP PALET OR PROFESSIONAL TRAYS.
• ONCE YOU HAVE TAPPED THE PRODUCT OUT, TAKE YOUR BRUSH AND SWIRL IT INTO THE LOOSE POWDER TAPPING OFF THE EXCESS. KEEP GOING WITH THIS PROCESS UNTIL YOU SEE THE PRODUCT BUILDING UP IN YOUR BRUSH. YOU WANT IT ABOUT 1/8 IN THE BRISTLES.
• APPLY TO THE SKIN IN SMALL SWIRL LIKE MOTIONS STARTING IN THE CENTER OF THE FACE ( NOSE OR CHEEKS). WORK OUTWARD TOWARD THE TEMPLES AND CHIN AREA. CONTINUE UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE THE DESIRED LOOK AND DESIRED AMOUT OF COVERAGE.

WHEN CLEANING YOUR MAKE UP BRUSH HERE ARE SOME TIPS:

• CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE WITH A MAKE UP BRUSH CLEANER, I AM CURENTLY USING MAC AND SONIA KASHUK- BRUSH AND SPONGE CLEANER
• I SPRAY A WASH CLOTH WITH WARM WATER AND ABOUT 6 SQUIRTS OF THE SONIA BRUSH CLEANER I SWIRLT THE BRUSH ON THE CLOTH FOR A FEW MINUTES IN A FEW LOCATIONS UNTIL I DONT SEE ANY COLOR DISPERSMENT ON THE RAG
• I THEN USE ANOTHER WASH CLOTH WITH WARM WATER AGAIN AND RINSE THE BRUSH OFF
• I ALLOW THE BRUSH TO BE IN A NATURAL POSITION HANGING OFF THE COUNTER WITH THE BRISTLES HANGING OVER THE COUNTER OR ON A FLAT CLEAN TISSUE/ SMA. I ALLOW THE BRUSH TO DRY COMPLETELY BEFORE I PUT IT AWAY( OR I LEAVE IT OUT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME)
• IF I HAD THE TIME AND I PRATICED WHAT I PREACHED I WOULD STORE MY CLEANED BRUSHES IN A ZIPPED BRUSH BAG WHERE I CAN KEEP IT SANITIED BETWEEN CLEANINGS
• ANOTHER GREAT TRICK IS LINING COOKIE DRYING RACKS WITH PAPER TOWELS AND STORING YOUR BRUSHES ON THEM OVERNIGHT, YOU CAN STACK AS MANY COOKIE SHEETS ON TOP OF EACHOTHER.

HARD LESSONS I'VE LEANERED WITH BRUSH CLEANING,

• NEVER EVER STORE THE BRUSH UPRIGHT I WEAKENS THE GLUE USED TO KEEP THE BRISTLES IN PLACE
• IT WEAKENS THE OVERALL INTEGRITY OF THE BRUSH
• NEVER USE ANY ELECTRIC DRYING TOOLS TO DRY THE BRUSH FASTER, IF YOU NEED ANOTHER BRUSH FOR SOMETHING BUILD AN ARMY, CHECK OUT TARGET, MARSHALLS, TJMAXX THERE GREAT PLACES TO START BUILDING A BRUSH COLECTION FOR THE BEGINNER
• NEVER ALLOW ANYONE TO USE YOUR BRUSHES EVERY EVEN IF ITS FOR A BFF. SHARING GERMS AND BACTERIA WILL ONLY DO HARM TO YOUR SKIN TRUST ME I AM A LISCENSED ESTI AND I KNOW I'VE SEEN THE SCARY THINGS IT CAN DO

THEN AFTER REMOVAL YOU OXYGENATE IT WITH THE FACIAL MASQUE- THIS IS A STRANGE PRODUCT THAT IT TOOK ME A MINUTE TO GET USED TOO. WHEN YOU PUMP THE PRODUCT OUT IT LOOKS LIKE A SERUM AND AS YOU APPLY IT TO THE FACE IT STARTS TO BUBBLE AND THICKEN AND IT SETTLES INTO THE SKIN - I LET MINE SIT ON MY SKIN FOR 15 MINUTES- OR UNTIL ALL THE EFFERVESCENT BUBBLING HAS CEASED. RINCE WITH WARM WATER. AND MOVE ON TO THE STEM CELL ENHANCER- THIS APPLICATION IS THE SERUM PORTION. I RUBBED IT ALL OVER MY FACE AND NECK- ALWAYS WORK ON THAT NECK NO ONE WANTS GREAT FACIAL SKIN AND SAGGY DEHYDRATED NECK SKIN!
