THE WET SKIN MOISTURIZER | JERGENS

jergens-natalie-off-duty-wet-skin-moisturizer-8

I have been using Jergens ever since I was a little girl. And I am one to shower and moisturize my entire body right afterwards. Being someone who loves the sun, who loves to swim, and be really active no matter what season it is, I take moisturizing my whole body really seriously. Focusing on the neck, legs, arms, and chest! For me, my mornings begin with a quick check at my Instagram, turning on NY1 on my TV so I can hear the news, get my coffee machine going…and hop in the shower.

I’ve just discovered the new Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer, and I am seriously obsessed. After you shower, just apply it to your already wet skin before you towel dry. No need to rinse it off (it won’t go down the drain- the moisturizer immediately sinks into your skin, and it really works. It’s my life saver, and my legs and arms have never been so smooth and hydrated. Plus, it’s saves me a ton of time before I leave the house, after the gym, or right before bed. You get 2x the moisture in half the time. I even prefer brushing my teeth in the shower, let alone moisturize! I am currently using the Nourshing Monoi – and it keeps my skin baby soft. But you can also get Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with coconut oil, and calming green tea oil. I got all 3 depending on my mood! Showering has never felt this good. Soak it up ladies.

Shop it here.

POWER WITHIN ONE DROP

Growing up as a model, I’ve come to realize that your skin needs that extra care, just like everything else in your life. And it glows when you take care of it. Like lathering on sunscreen even in the wintertime, replacing that wine glass with a bottle of water, or trading in daily nights on the dance floor with that extra hour or two of beauty sleep. But right now, I am all about this amazing product I have just added to my beauty routine to make up for times I’ve slipped on my beauty routine: Cover FX Custom Infusion Drops. Right now they have 4 different drops that target different skin issues: C+ Lemongrass for radiance, E+ Chamomile for calming, F+ Neroli for hydration, and what I’m using now, A+ Jasmine for Anti-Aging. Before and after getting on a flight, I leave my skin completely makeup free, and apply the Cover FX Infusion Drops. One drop is a powerful boost of essential vitamins and oils that can even be mixed with whatever cream or makeup you already use. I like to use it before applying sunscreen and a tab of concealer. I gravitate to these fresh scents, so it not only relaxes me before I start the day, or go to bed, but it smoothly seeps into my pores and leaves my skin with a glossy finish. I couldn’t think of a better winter skin saver at the moment. Something so powerful with just one little drop. Just what the doctor ordered.

FRESH FACE FAVORITES

Along with my everyday basics…there are those luxury make-up items that I’m always experimenting with. These, with their subtle shades, have suddenly become part of my everydays. Powder pink blushes and bronzers to beat winter pale skin. Shimmering shadows that sparkle lightly in all the right ways. This year I went from dark black cat-eye and va-va-voom red lips to sublty bronzed cheeks, and dare I say, LIP GLOSS. I forgot how amazing lip gloss makes your lips look. I’m all about a more feminine, light, and fresh look. My vampire days are long gone. I guess the more grown up you get, the less fuss you want. The less makeup, less products. Just what works, and what makes you glow. Then, there is the best cream to revive your face overnight to do it all over again. I’m constantly trying new products and makeup brands. There are are some I lean towards again and again….Stila, Dolce & Gabbana, Urban Decay, and Lancome. Of course, mixed with my everydays from the local drug store (CoverGirl & L’Oreal Paris). But take a peek at these new magicians in a bottle that have just arrived at my doorstep.

Dolce & Gabanna eye shadow and eye shadow cream. I like to use the brown cream first, then add shimmer over it. It lasts way longer for those nights out. Oh, and their nail varnish is out of this world.

Everything Lancôme Hydra Zen. I’m a sucker for all things pink. These beautiful bottles really hydrate and don’t irritate.

Stila Lip Vinyl: extra glossy in vibrant hues. Wear this with just a little bronzer and a swipe of mascara. Anymore and you’ll regret it.

Marc Jacobs primer: Newest primer I have tried. It’s light, and minimizes your pores.

Now keep on keeping fresh ladies.

BURBERRY KISSES

I am always on the prowl for the next best lipstick, and I’m already obsessed with the new Burberry Kisses. So pucker-up worthy! The Brit label never ceases to amaze me, especially in the beauty department. The collection of 28 shades is so effortless, easy, and totally kissable. Here, I’m wearing my 2 new favorite shades. Nude Pink No.05, for it’s natural, fresh look. So chic against the light grays, and whites of my wardrobe (hence this stunning fluffy Burberry coat!)  And you know how I love a good deep red! Oxblood No.97 is a must-have. It’s a deep red shade with a purple undertone that flatters literally every skin color. It’s the fact that they’re made to have buildable color that has drawn me to this collection. I’ve discovered that I can just lightly dab on the color for a stained lip look. The second swipe gives me a richer shade, and the last swipe gives full-on bold, LET’S PARTY color. It really does feel like second skin, and it’s all about lightweight layering. The lighter my makeup is, the better I feel.

Burberry Kisses lipstick in: Military Red No.109. Nude Pink No.05, Oxblood No.97, and Rose Blush No.89
