What I'm Wearing Today

I need to do this more often, and will be doing this more often, as there are many products I'm loving and never really talk about. Which is silly and selfish of me. So here goes:

Sante Exfoliating Peel: I know I just blogged about this one, but it is life-changing! My skin has never felt so good.

Santaverde Medium Emulsion, Fragrance Free. Now that it's winter, I've had to upgrade from Light.

Logona Tinted Day Cream, Beige-Gold Matte. I cannot believe how nourishing this is, while providing more coverage than any other tinted moisturizer I've tried, natural or otherwise. I often use this without the emulsion underneath, and my skin never feels dry.

Jane Iredale PurePressed Foundation. For a bit more coverage than I get with the tinted day cream, like when I'm going to work for the day, I will apply just a light layer of this for extra coverage and shine control. It works well as a foundation on its own, too, but I prefer it in combination with the tinted cream.

Sante Blush in Rose. Beautiful blush, just a hint of shimmer. Great color for most light skin.

Jane Iredale Circle/Delete2. I finally decided to give this a try, the pinkish/orange side, to see how it covered dark circles under my eyes (I didn't get enough sleep last night). I was skeptical because I've always used flesh-colored concealer and this pinkish stuff...well, how would that make my circles look anything but blue-ish orange? Well, sure enough, the experts at Jane Iredale know more about makeup than I do, and it works brilliantly. I'm still not sure how, but it does.


Jane Iredale Lid Primer. Customers are always asking me how to increase the staying power of their eye shadow. This primer is the answer. I use Canvas because my lids don't have any purple. But Lemon and Petal are great for those of you with some blue or purple on their lids. It also works great for under the eyes, too!

Alima Eye Shadow. Hmmmmm......Why would I have tried this today?

Logona Eye Liner in Brown. Great staying power.

Jane Iredale Longest Lash Mascara. This stuff is really good. Doesn't smudge and truly lengthens. I've also used the Jane Iredale Purelash Conditioner underneath, and I like that as well. Helps the mascara stay on longer.

Logona Lipstick Pencil in Bronze. I don't think this product gets enough attention. It's awesome. The perfect marriage of lip pencil and lipstick. Just use a bit of gloss over it and you're good to go. Oh, and the Bronze is really more of a natural, daytime deep pinkish taupe.


Sante Lip Balm. Opalescent with a tinge of pink. Stays on a long time and provides a great deal of moisture. Love it!
