Don’t get me wrong—I love testing new makeup products and getting all dolled up, but if I could achieve that “no makeup makeup” look, without any product, it would be a win in my book! And now I might just get that chance. I’m so excited to share with everyone that I recently joined Proactiv+ as a beauty ambassador! Over the next 30 days, I’m going to put the one and only Proactiv+ 3-step system to the test. For the most part I have good skin. Scratch that—I have great skin. But maintaining it is another story. I break out occasionally—usually stress is the culprit. I typically hesitate trying new skincare brands I’ve never heard of or sampled. After years of watching Proactiv+ commercials on TV, I couldn’t think of a better acne treatment brand to partner with on my journey to achieving that no makeup look. I’ll be posting my progress on my social media channels over the next four weeks so be sure to follow along!
Proactiv+ 3-Step System, $29.95 monthly for a 30-Day Systems; available at Proactiv.com or by calling 1-888-710-2161
I’ve partnered with Proactiv+ to give away a set of the core system, which includes their Skin Smoothing Exfoliator (step 1), Pore Target Treatment (step 2) and Complexion Perfecting Hydrator (step 3). Proactiv+ is a breakthrough 3-Step System by Drs. Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields featuring even more medicine and skincare benefits than the original formula. For every enhanced acne-fighting benefit in each step of Proactiv+, there is an equally powerful complexion-conscious skincare benefit, helping individuals fix their acne and let their skin flourish.

Nothing is worse than realizing I have a few loose hairs on my legs right before a night on the town. So when the new Venus Snap with Embrace portable razor showed up on my doorstep, I was one step closer to smoothness-on-the-go. This portable razor and stylish compact features Venus’ best Embrace blades on a mini-handle that conveniently tucks into any bag, for the freedom to be spontaneous with must-have smooth skin anytime, anywhere. The palm-size razor makes shaving a cinch, the portable case keeps your razor safe (so no fiascos in your purse) and the end-result is nothing but smooth sailing. So whether you skipped a shave or just missed a few hairs, just wet the razor and you are ready to go! Check out the Gillette Venus Razor Finder Quiz, to help women find their Perfect Match.

My face has a new obsession. Meet the best smelling gel moisturizer that’s equal parts lightweight and moisturizing without the sticky and greasy residue: Olay Fresh Effects {Dew Over!} Gel Moisturizer. Consider it like a splash of 24-hour moisture that sinks in to skin quickly and won’t clog pores thanks to its oil-free formula. And did I mention it smells ah-mazing? The refreshing scent of honeysuckle and antioxidant-rich white tea will make you want to slather it on, from your hairline to your bustline. Whether you’re using it before bed, or getting your daily dose in the morning (no sleep required!) this translucent light green moisturizer instantly wakes me up and soothes any redness. If you can’t tell from the photos above, my jar is already half empty!

“Let me showcase my dark circles and puffy eyes all over the internet for everyone to see!” —says no one ever.
The things I do for beauty. You see, as much as I didn’t want to bare my under eye circles for this shoot for Glitter Guide, First Aid Beauty’s Eye Duty Triple Remedy makes it all worth it. The lovely PR ladies behind FAB sent me this (and a few other best-selling products from the line) back in February and to this day, I’m still using this multi-tasking product that depuffs, smooths and brightens my eyes instantly (even after those sleepless nights). Over time, the formula works to significantly improve the appearance fine lines, making it the ultimate dark circle eye remedy. The unique metal applicator mimics the shape of the pinkie, making it easy to blend. Needless to say, it’s taken up a permanent residence on my vanity. Personally, I like to layer it under my NARS Creamy Concealer for a fool-proof finish.
And in case you’re wondering the makeup I wore for the shoot… I used my Urban Decay Naked3 palette, Tom Ford Lip Color in Flamingo (my signature pink lipstick) and my Blush Med Suntastic sunscreen (love the cucumber scent).

To be honest, I never thought beauty oils would benefit my skin type. I guess I associate the word “oil” with greasy, sticky and unpleasant. But then Skin Authority Oil Nutrient for Face, Hair & Nails showed up on my doorstep a few weeks ago and my opinion of beauty oils has completely changed. Just a few drops (you’ll want to gently press oils on your skin, not rub) of this concentrated blend (think avocado, Rosehip, Grapeseed, and Sunflower) absorb in to my skin so quickly, I forget I’m using an oil! The formula is incredibly lightweight and non-greasy. I’ve been using this natural oil blend on my cracked nails, my incredibly dry scalp and split ends (this is probably the area where I’ve seen the most difference) and occasionally on my face at night. There are no weird artificial fillers or ingredients and I highly recommend this for any skin type.
