GENAISSSANCE ALL THE WAY

This is certainly a cream that’s worth the investment. Genaissance de La Mer. The collection takes the energies of the sea and fast-forwards your skin’s renewal process. My favorite product from the collection? The Eye and Expression cream. Our bodies’ most expressive features are also the most delicate and need the most love. This cream can soften and smooth these fine lines around the eyes and around the mouth. I’m taking little steps to keep my skin as smooth as possible even through the squints and laughs – some of the best parts of life.

ADDING 10 EXTRA MINUTES TO MY NIGHTLY ROUTINE | KIEHL’S

I love feeling like I’m having a spa experience in my own home. If I’m having a long and stressful day, I honestly can’t wait to get home, wipe off my makeup, and put on a face mask because come on, face masks fix everything…mentally and physically. I happen to take my nightly skincare routine very seriously. My skin has always affected my mood. If I’m having a clear day, everything is sunshine. If I see a blemish, all hell breaks loose. Summer is coming to a close, I’ve been focusing more on the texture of my skin because luckily, my break-out phase has surprisingly faded through the years. It’s now that time of year to remove all the dead skin on my surface and reveal the new! I don’t mind taking that one extra step into my skincare routine because first of all, it’s helps me unwind…plus, it shows a huge difference in my skin the moment I wake up. Clay has been the secret ingredient that works for me. The Kiehl’s Rare Earth Deep Cleansing Mask has been my skin detoxifier as of late.

HOW I AM TAKING CARE OF MY LIPS

bite-beauty-2

Lately, I’ve decided it’s about time I start really taking care of my lips. Having supple, luscious lips is the key to any amazing makeup look. Always start with taking care and protecting your skin before applying more makeup. My #1 rule to get rid of dry, chapped lips? Exfoliate, protect, and hydrate. Hydrating meaning always have a moisturizing base before you put on any lipstick. That’s always the hardest when you’re trying to master a really matte lip, my favorite type of look. Bite Beauty released the new Everyday Agave collection. It’s 3 amazing products that now, more than ever, I am using…especially on the airplane. Here are the 3 steps: – Apply the Agave Sugar Lip Scrub: use this daily and right before bed, and you’re lips will be extra soft and smooth. -Leave on the Agave Lip Mask: Leave this on overnight and it helps protect your lips from getting any further damage. -Reapply the Agave Lip Balm: This balm is super rich. I use it so many times a day. It doesn’t give off a crazy shine or greasy residue which makes it perfect under lipsticks.

THE EYES AND LIPS

I am such a beauty junkie. I just got back to New York City, and realized I had a giant tote bag of makeup I’ve collected this year. So many unopened packages and newly released products from my favorite brands I work with. That perfect, sparkling gold makeup palettes…a new shade for a new season. Those tubes of lipsticks in every single shade of red and pink. Those serums, creams, and sleeping masks promising a younger, more beautiful complexion. Believe me, I’ve tried it all. From getting my eyes jabbed at on set with the makeup artist…to taking those tips to my bathroom at home. I did learn one thing: less is certainly more. Especially for us girls on the go. So what do I carry if I’m pulling an all-nighter? I like to focus on the simple things. The eyes and the lips. But it always starts with perfect skin:

-Sunday Riley Juno serum and Good Genes treatment. These little magical potions are so worth every penny.

-Stila 10 in 1 beauty balm for coverage and sun protection. I normally use this under CoverGirl’s Aquafresh (I’ve used it ever since grade school. And what doesn’t break me out, is what I stick with. It’s the easiest compact ever.)

-Everything DR. JART. Because this Korean doctor know what he’s doing when it comes to skin perfection.

-Tom Ford Lips & Boys. Currently wearing the orange/red RAFAEL. I love how each shade is inspired by one of the boys in his life. This firey color is super fun.

-Stila Major Lash Mascara

-Aerin palette

Lately, I’ve traded in my liquid liner cat-eye look for some subtle shimmer, and a bare face. It totally brings out the color in your eyes, and I think the shimmer looks super fresh and pretty. I use my fingers from the Aerin palette and use the light brown shimmer all over the lid, and spreading out. Using the dark shadow on the outer corners, and on lower lids. It’s a sublte, more sultry way to give a cat-eye look. But most importantly? The lashes. Curl them daily, with a little bit of mascara.

Complete with a pop of lip, and a twist of your messy locks and you can easily go from the work meeting to the dance floor. A quick overnight fix.
