About-Face



Since I’ve been receiving so many questions lately about my skincare & makeup, I thought I would do a post sharing with you the items I use every single day and cannot live without. I know that everyone has different preferences & coverage needs when it comes to foundation…and while your face makeup does play a role in the overall process, I chose instead to focus on the other products I use (and swear by) to create a flawless finish & help keep it that way.  



1) CeraVe Moisurizing Lotion – $13.99
3) MAC Strobe Liquid – $31.00
4) NARS Blush (Orgasm) – $28.00
5) Arbonne Mattifying Powder – $26.00
6) Benefit High Beam – $26.00


*I’m beyond flattered to be featured on Skinny Mom today – you can read the full interview I did with them here!

    It's always good to see what cosmetic products other blogger use. I really need to give the highlighter a try, it looks really inviting. Do you use the CerVe Lotion on your face? It looks like a body lotion? Unfortunately I cant open any of your links :-(. Thanks Kim for sharing. Have a great Tuesday 🙂

    Jen, you should try the CeraVe am – it has spf in it and it's less oily than the regular formula. There is also a pm version that I started using and love (but it's a little more spendy)!

    Ani, yes the Cerave is a facial moisturizer, but you can use it on your body too and it's wonderful for that as well! Sorry about the links – looks like ShopStyle is down! 🙁

    Do you think you could do a "Get the Look for Less" post on this? I can't afford to get all those high-end products but would like to know how I can have my face look like that using drugstore products. Great post though!

    I just got NARS Orgasm a few days ago…there really is something special about it! I think it's the very subtle amount of shimmer. It's not so obvious that you look like you're covered in glitter, but just adds something special. Also, I like that the pigment is very saturated so you don't have to use very much (makes it last longer!)

    I use a smashbox primer on days when I am going to be running around a lot and want my make up to stay put.

    For nighttime moisturizer, there is a great Origins product called NIGHT A MINS. It smells delicious, doesn't cost a bundle, and one jar lasts a long time. Also has no alpha hydroxy, which I like

    I'm all about simple, tried-and-true standbys like Cetaphil or CeraVe when it comes to skin. I always think the less you do to it, the better! And absolutely on track with the primer, blush and highlighter too – those are my go-tos as well!

    Just had to say as a make up artist, I spend my days trying to tell people that you can still have that "lit from within" look if you are oily. I say your recommendations and screamed "FINALLY someone who understands!" in the middle of Starbucks. Now they think I am crazy but this is why I love your blog because finally…someone who understands!

    Just bought the mattifying powder! I have quite oily skin, and I'm hopeful this will work! Thanks for the recommendation! I would have never heard of this brand otherwise.

    Have a lovely day,
