Selma Hayek Skin Care Line: Nuance @ CVS

CVS is a great place to find beauty products at bargain prices. Nuance by Selma Hayek is a new skin care line that is inspired by Selma's grandmother and exotic ingredients from around the world. One thing that I liked about the products, other than the affordability, is that the natural, effective ingredients were high up on the ingredient list, validating their potency. The skin care and cosmetics products in particular that scored the highest reviews and that are my faves are Renewing and Brightening Facial Serum, AM/PM Anti-Aging Super Cream, and Wild lime Exfoliating Facial Gel.

Fall Time Exfoliation That Won't Break The Bank!

During the dry, cold season of Fall finding a way to exfoliate your skin without causing irritation and dryness can be hard to do. The good news, especially for all of you with sensitive skin, is that an effective gentle exfoliation can be as close as your refrigerator. 100% whole milk contains many enzymes and fatty acids that dissolve dead skin, cleanse, and hydrate the skin all at once. Try soaking a soft wash cloth in milk at night and patting over your face three or four times for smooth, clean skin. This ritual is best for people with sensitive, dry, and/or mature skin. 

Kim Kardashian's Wedding Makeup

Kim K's wedding photos have been out for a while, but after watching "Kim's Fairytale Wedding" this weekend and admiring her look (as usual) I was so happy to see how natural and soft her makeup looked. The idea of looking like the prettiest version of yourself is so true and can be achieved so easily by choosing colors that complement your skin tone and staying away from bold colors. Try Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the queen of the "natural look", for natural looking makeup options on your big day. Kim's makeup artist focused on her best facial features (her eyes) and used a line up on Lancome products to achieve her look, click here for details.

Brushes That Won't Break The Bank!

Target is one of my favorite bargain beauty stores. While shopping at the super Target in Alexandria I found some good quality e.l.f. brushes ranging from $1 to $3!!! Unbelievable prices. These brushes are great options for teenagers looking to start their makeup kit or a seasoned makeup maven that needs a few more essentials.
