Happy 25 To Me!

For my 25th Birthday, I thought I would share with you my "25 Makeup Favorites."  I could go on and on about products I love, but here are 25 that I am pretty sure I couldn't live without.

 

1. Mary Kay TimeWise 3-In-1 Cleanser (normal to dry)

• This creamy cleanser leaves normal to dry skin feeling clean, fresh and radiant with enhanced hydration. As itcleanses, exfoliates and freshens in one step, it begins the process to reveal younger-looking skin. Plus, with each use, your skin feels refreshed.
2. Mary Kay TimeWise Age-Fighting Moisturizer

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines for younger-looking skin with this oil-free lotion. It's formulated with antioxidants that help guard against free radicals which cause the skin to age. The patented* complex helps accelerate skin's renewal process – hydrates, smooths, firms and softens.
3. MAC Prep + Prime 

• A skin-protecting cream with SPF 50. Applies under makeup to prime the skin for the sun. Featherweight, fast-absorbing, oil-free, invisible. Will not affect the look, texture or long-wear integrity of your makeup. Specially formulated with oil-absorbing powder, helps prevent oil breakthrough. Provides high-level broad spectrum sun protection. Worn daily helps guard the skin against discolouration, premature aging, dryness and other effects of sun exposure. Suitable for all skins.
4. The Beauty Blender 

• The ultimate make up sponge applicator. Invented by top Hollywood make up artist Rea Ann Silva, Beautyblender has been created to leave you with a professional finish and a flawless complexion. Silva knows that the key to a perfect face is simple: a perfect blend. So forget your fingers or sharp-edged triangular sponges, these application methods waste make up and can leave visible streaks.
