Best Tips for Skincare

I began researching and selling Mary Kay products about 2 months ago and I can truly say I LOVE the products!  I know what you're all thinking.  "Isn't Mary Kay for older women?"  In fact, that is what I thought as well, before I attended a Mary Kay facial party. These are those parties where you gather around a table with a few friends and apply different makeup products and skin care products to half of your face in order to see and feel the difference.  Well, I saw AND felt the difference!  I was so surprised.  Mary Kay was something my mother and grandmother always used and I couldn't believe how the company improved the products from when I was younger.

In short, I decided I wanted to sell the products and receive the 50% discount, although the prices weren't too expensive to begin with, but every little bit counts! ha I also felt that I would be doing my family and friends a favor by introducing them to these products.

I have been using the skin care products ever since, and I can honestly tell you that I have noticed that my skin is more radiant and my makeup is less prone to come off because of all of the steps the products use to enhance the health of your skin.

One very important thing I am going to tell you all is that YOU NEED TO EXFOLIATE.  If moisturizer is applied to your face, body, and even your lips, if the skin is not exfoliated then the moisturizer and lip balm will be wasted and only absorb into the dead skin cells rather than the healthy skin cells.  Who wants to do that?  The Mary Kay products are dermatologist tested and all perform the necessary steps in order to achieve healthy, young, beautiful skin.  Let me know if you have any questions or would like to try the products.  I can send you free samples.  Hope this helps! =)

New Year! New Blog!



Welcome to Beauty and the Fashionista! Being that it is almost a "New Year", I thought I would begin my year off by creating my first blog. I am very into fashion and learning different techniques to enhance your health and, of course, enhance beauty! As Martin Buxbaum once said, "Some people, no matter how old they get, never lose their beauty - they merely move it from their faces into their hearts."
