Show Us Your Life: Beauty Tips...

Show Us Your Life with Kelly's Korner
So earlier this week I shared some of my favorite Health & Beauty products... This week for Kelly's Korner "Show Us Your Life" she wants us to share some of our beauty tips...

Tip #1- Take care of your skin!... So I know this is pretty obvious, but I just can't stress it enough!! I used to be one of those girls that would go to the tanning bed everyday & lay out in the sun with no sunscreen!! It wasn't until after I got married that I started being so devoted to taking care of my skin! {I want my husband to have a hot, young looking wife when we're older!} ... I can't tell you the last time I went to a tanning bed & I wear sunscreen every single day! I DO NOT want to be one of those old ladies that looks like they have rawhide skin & sun damage just because they wanted to be tan in their 20s! It is SO not worth it to me anymore to "fake & bake!"... Everybody should wear sunscreen EVERYDAY- even if you don't think you need it! You still get rays from the sun driving in the car!... Make sure you put it on your neck too!! This is the one I use & I love it!...



Tip #2- Use an eye shadow base... On days I wear eye shadow, I always make sure I use an eye lid primer. It helps so much to even out the skin, helps color stay on, keeps it from creasing, & makes your eye shadow color more vibrant! These are ones I've tried & like...
Bare Escentuals Prime Time Eyelid Primer

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Tip #3- Use a face highlighter... I love it when skin has a pretty glow to it! To fake one, use a highlighter! I love Benefit's High Beam... Dab & blend a little on your cheekbones & brow bones. I also use a little on the bridge of my nose to make it look a little slimmer... This is great for moms who might need a little brightener to their complexion due to lack of sleep! I also love it for going out at night!...



Tip #4- Put lip gloss on only on the center part of your lips... This may sound silly, but I think it helps to give the illusion of fuller lips... When I go out, I'll put on lipstick (put a coat on, blot, & apply another coat to help color last longer), then I put on my regular lip gloss, & (because I'm high-maintenance like this) I put on a different color gloss that's lighter & shiner just in the middle of my bottom lip... and voila! :)


I LOVE Lip Fusion! It has collagen to help plump lips even more!...

Tip #5- Use an eye lash primer before you put on mascara... If you read my "Favorite Things: Health & Beauty Edition", you know I am obsessive when it comes to my lashes! So here's another one of my secrets... I put a coat of lash primer on before I put on my mascara. It helps to keep mascara in place, makes your lashes look longer & fuller, and also conditions them! Pair that with the eyelash comb & DiorShow mascara I talked about in that blog & people will think you have "falsies" on! ;)
These are the two I recommend...


That's it for now my beauties!!!!
