Hello to all my beautiful Californian’s transitioning into this Fall/Winter weather and everyone one else around the globe that’s interested in knowing the latest in Los Angeles, Fall Seasoned, Beauty Trends…….
Just a handful of the must haves you’ll want to consider adding to your Christmas Wish List, or just add to your existing beauty collections.
Skincare and Skin preparation
Urban Decay‘s NEW! B6 Vitamin-Infused Complex prep spray is absolutely amazing! Retailing for $33.00 available at most Ulta Beauty‘s and Sephora cosmetics stores.
For maximum results this product is best used morning and evening after cleansing skin.
A professional facial from your local and favorite spa is recommended as we transition into this fall weather. Our skin can have build up as a result from summer oils and HD makeup worn on a daily basis. Lets start the season fresh with clean skin and a facial follow up every 4 to 6 weeks after to ensure the healthiest skin.
This will also cut time down from your makeup routines because your skin is smoother making makeup applications a breeze.
Recently I had the great pleasure in enjoying a facial treatment at the wonderful murad all inclusive spa, facial was performed by the amazing esthetician Stacy Kaine.
I decided to try the Youth Building Facial featuring IP5 Technology.
A 65 mins soothing session reasonably priced at $175
This delicious facial is the ideal treatment to target and defeat all inevitable signs of aging.
Wrinkles, loss of elasticity and pigmentation are minimized as Immuno-skin complex. Tons of great benefits from this facial treatment, In addition to addressing my biggest concerns like congestion of the skin around my nose, and behind jaw line. A common result of poor HD-makeup removal techniques. Sometimes after a long day, removing HD-makeup can require a lot of attention when it comes to removing makeup before bed. Sometimes I’m too tired and only use makeup wipes. This is a habit I intend to break soon.
I’m really happy with the results my skin has been showing and the post skincare my esthetician recommended.
I brought home the Murad Beautiful smooth skin kit. Retailing at very reasonable $75.00 for 3 products this post cleansing routine requires.

Sealing in the treatments and working as a great primer for any HD-makeup application. This is can double as your sunscreen as in has spf 30.
