Are you Too Faced?

I am so excited to announce that I am going to be a product specialist for Too Faced here in Fort Myers, Florida and once there are more stores open in Naples, I will go there too. I have 3 stores I go to. Two Ulta's and one Sephora.
I used to work for Ulta before and during my pregnancy with my youngest Jemma. I loved working there and the girls are awesome! I am very excited to see them more again now.
When I worked at Ulta I loved the Too Faced brand. I am so thrilled I was referred and recommended to be the rep for this area for them.
I wanted to share one of the most popular makeup items on the market right now. This is called the Natural Eye kit. It has 3 sets of shadows for 3 different natural eye looks. 
Inside each kit is a set of cards to show you how to make the look work for you. You can't go wrong! It's an awesome kit that you can take with you wherever you go. Don't forget you can always add more colors to these looks. It's a great place to start if you are not a big eyeshadow girl like myself. 
Stop by and see me at Ulta in Coconut Point or Bell Tower. I also will be at the Sephora too in Coconut Point. Feel free to message me to find out which store I will be at. Can't wait to see you! I can do some makeup application for you as well! 
Head over to Too Faced website to see more of their awesome products!

Wrinkles! Help!!

I was asked about wrinkles today so I thought I would share with everyone some ways to help with treating and avoiding them.

First is most obvious I think, avoid the sun. Granted I live here in Florida and it's hard enough to do that. So when you can't avoid the sun, use sunscreen. 
Don't smoke, get adequate sleep, and don't squint. I have also heard to sleep on your back to help. 
Eat more fish, the cold water kind. Salmon is the best. Essential fatty acids help nourish skin and keep it plump and youthful, helping to reduce wrinkles. Eat soy too. Trade your coffee for cocoa. Cocoa helps prevent sun damage. And of course eat more fruits and veggies!
Another obvious thing to do is to use moisturizer. Even if you have oily skin. You will trick your skin into thinking it has produced enough. Use morning and night. Don't over wash your face. Tap water strips skin of its natural barrier oils and moisture that protect against wrinkles. Wash them off too often, and you wash away protection. Moreover, unless your soap contains moisturizers, you should use a cleanser instead.
Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). These natural fruit acids lift away the top layer of dead skin cells, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes. Retinoids (including Retin A). The only FDA-approved topical treatment for wrinkles is tretinoin, known commercially as Retin A. Retinol is a natural form of vitamin A found in many over-the-counter products. 
Topical treatments that will help with sun damage and rejuvenating collagen production are: vitamin C, idebenone, growth factors, and pentapeptides.

Some products I really like are Stri-Vectin and Dermologica. If you have an Ulta around you I suggest going there and getting a facial. I used to work there. That's how I am familiar with these products.  You will get a 20% off your first-time appointment for skin care. Go and enjoy!!
Plus the first Tuesday of every month if you are a student you et 20% off your entire purchase including hair services. There are somethings that do not apply.
