That Gal!

Hey! I’m writing to share a beauty tip that I think is so important. I found this product that works miracles on my skin. It’s called “Benefit That Gal.” It’s a primer that makes my skin appear brighter and smoother. And it always makes me look ten times more rested that I usually am.

This product comes in a tube – much like a glue stick. It’s pink in color, and after applying directly to skin, the color blends right in with your skin tone. To apply: twist the bottom of the tube until a little bit of the product is sticking out of the top. Take your fingers, and apply with your fingertips to your face – applying the product all over from hairline to chin. (The company suggests that you apply it in an upward motion, which is probably for maximum absorption, but I haven’t noticed that way being any better than applying it directly.) Let sit for two-three minutes, and then apply makeup as you regularly would.

I particularly love this product because you can continue to apply it throughout the day on top of your makeup for a refreshed look and feel. It’s amazing. The ingredients are great as well – nothing harmful or toxic to your skin. It contains raspberry and chamomile, with almond and algae extracts - which help your skin retain it’s natural moisture. Many people have reviewed the product and say it leaves your skin feeling silky. I have to say I agree 100%.

Here is a quick link to buy it:

It’s a product I not only use, but strongly believe in.

I hope you guys are having a fabulous week!

Best,

Amazing Tinted Moisturizer for Busy Mommies

Hey guys! Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I’ve been really busy with promoting “The Chic Moms Guide,” and thanks to you guys it’s going fabulously! Now you can check out my site page for it at http://www.thechicmomsguide.com We are currently working on getting it into mainstream bookstores. I’ll keep everyone posted on that!

I’m going to try and share a tip every week about products I recommend or things to be on the lookout for to help us stay as fabulous as we can.

This week: my favorite tinted moisturizer...

It’s from Vincent Longo and I’ve been using it for a while now. It’s not ONLY a moisturizer, but it has an SPF of 20, protecting us from the UVA and UVB rays – which is really important to us ladies (and men) at ANY age. And this particular moisturizer also contains Hyaluronic Filling Spheres designed specifically to help fill in the fine lines everyone hates around the eyes, mouth and forehead.

The best part about Vincent Longo’s Tinted Moisturizers is that it only gives you a “hint” of color. It’s not too much – people won’t think you’ve been spray tanned or anything crazy – but just enough to make you look energized with a happy glow. It’s the perfect amount of color. And for me, the perfect amount of moisture.

Remember ladies – the key to supple skin is moisturizing! Your skin gets just as thirsty as you do throughout the day, so it’s important to give it the drink it needs. Dry skin leads to premature aging and cracks that none of us want. And we should be wearing sunscreen everyday no matter what – no excuses. Even on a cloudy day, harmful rays can penetrate and get to our skin.

We want to stay as fabulous as we can for as long as we’re able – this is a great product that I recommend.

Vincent Longo offers a variety of tinted color – so it should work for every skin type!
