THE QUICK N’ EASY COLLECTION BY CHARLOTTE TILBURY

day-charlotte-tilbury-natalie-lim-suarez-9-edit

I am known for being very last minute with my makeup. I’m always so crunched for time that I’ll have to turn to my friend at a meeting to see whether or not whatever I have on my face is fully blended in correctly. Suddenly, I’m in panic mode. The last thing I want to worry about is if my cheek stain is smeared on an area of my face that’s not my cheek. Although I’ve worked with a ton of makeup artists on plenty of shoots, my skills are still a work in progress. But my goal is to always get that picture perfect look, but in the most natural way possible. I prefer to blend in my makeup with my fingers. The least amount of products, the better. That is why the Quick n’ Easy Collection by Charlotte Tilbury was made for someone like me. The collection as a whole is able to create four time saving transformations. Two glowing looks for day, and two very beautiful looks for night. Each take literally only 5 minutes to apply, and the color combinations so perfectly handpicked so that you don’t have to. I definitely feel a makeup revolution coming on by simplifying our beauty processes, but also making a statement at the same time.

I only want the necessities in my beauty bag. For me, I don’t include makeup brushes in the necessity category. If I can apply it all with my finger, I’m a happy girl on the go. Here is my reliable day look from The Quick n’ Easy Collection’s “Natural Glowing Look” makeup kit that I just love: a matte lip, a shimmering brown shadow, statement lashes, and of course glowing, dewy skin. Charlotte Tilbury’s Beach Stick is a seriously so good that I combine it with my day and night looks. It’s super easy to blend lightly on my cheeks. It even works on my eyelids.

All of these work so well when I’m rushed off in the car whenever I’m working in LA. I trust this easy makeup transformation through plane turbulence and even while stuck in traffic on the 405. Let’s not forget the numerous elevator touchups, quick mascara fix on the NYC subways, and leaving the gym still finishing off my lipstick. For night, I simply smudged in the eyeshadow I already had on, and whipped out my other go-to kit from the Quick n’ Easy Collection, the “Red Carpet Party Look” makeup kit. I swiped on a bit of brown eyeliner for a darker look, and added on a perfect red lip. And when I say a red, I say because lip liner is now my ultimate lifesaver when I’m doing my makeup quick. And there I am, a fresh face done right after parking my car just off the PCH to visit a friend in Malibu. The night isn’t over yet, but at least my makeup is.

THE BOOSTER + SERUM TREATMENT | TRUE BOTANICALS

true-botanicals-natalie-5

To me, I’m all about anti-aging, and all about having soft, youthful skin. I’ve been testing out oils for a while now, and I discovered something so unique. True Botanicals. They use ingredients that are biomimetic. Big word eh? It means that they mimic what’s naturally going on in the skin. Nothing harsh. Nothing un-natural. I love that they have gone to the cellular level in creating every single formula. For my skin in particular, it’s best untouched…in it’s most natural state…with nothing to aggravate it. Just calm, healthy, moisturized skin is all I aim for.

What I’m really loving most from this skincare line is their treatments. The True Botanical Vitamin C Booster is one of my favorite products. This powder is Vitamin C in it’s purest form. It’s super potent. All you do is mix it with the serum and rub it in really well. I mixed mine with the True Botanicals Cellular Repair Serum. Together it prevents blemishes and keeps my skin firm and locks in hydration.

Another little potion that will be my secret weapon this winter is the True Botanicals Polishing Grains. It’s the purest form of an exfoliant. I just mix it with my True Botanicals Hydrating Cleanser and voila, dead skin be gone! What I love most about True Botanicals is you get to experiment a bit with mixing the grains or the boosters with your everyday serums and oils. You kind of can create your own little potion. I got the whole set for these upcoming winter months. I can feel the chill already New York City!

Will you be around,

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.
