Winter Skin

Winter Skin! Remember to wash your face in the morning and at night. Use a heavy moisturizer like MAC Studio Moisture Cream to keep your skin silky smooth. Exfoliate only once a week during the cold weather months. Don’t forget to use a foundation that has SPF. Even in the winter we need to protect our skin! ♥ Debra Johnson Makeup Artist Orange County, California Don’t forget to share, and comment!

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler

I find the Shu Uemura eyelash curler to be quite different from other brands. When trying it out I realized that it actually curls the lashes, instead of making a crease, resulting in what I call the “check mark” effect.
