    Broad Spectrum SPF 36 BB Cream by @AmarteSkinCare

    I am always on the hunt for new beauty products and it is no different with skincare. I started wearing less makeup and more bare face!  Gulp. It is not easy to do it all the time but with the help of Amarte Natural Finish BB Cream, I am getting use to this look more and more.

    I recently tried Amarte from Seoul and I am really happy with the products!  Amarte Cosmetics comes in pretty pink and gold packaging and has products that are combine Korean skincare secrets and American dermatology expertise. The BB cream has SPF36 and a soft tint that evens out your skin tone.  This is a perfect match for my skin tone which is hard to find except in Asian products.

    The coverage is more than a tinted moisturized but less than a foundation, which is typical of a BB cream. The smell is pleasant and not overpowering but is a bit powdery and slightly floral. It is very sheer and provides sun protection

    I love this beautiful video they shot about the brand. It is beautiful, high end and perfect for the brand. The future can just be as extraordinary as the present.

    At Home Spa Treatments with @ClaySpray

    I have an early memory when I was 3 or 4 of my mom with her glass jar of Borghese mud mask and coming around the corner saying boo!  I was both scared and intrigued at how this grotesque clay can actually beautify your skin!  I remember wanting to do it with my mom and thinking it would be so cool to try it. Of course she told me this is something I can do when I grow up, along with lipstick, mascara but I could wear a bit of perfume. My mom has always taken great care of her skin and looks gorgeous and much younger than her actual age!

    In a blink of an eye, I am 29 and clay masks have become a part of my monthly beauty routine to detox my face of impurities.  This at home spa mask is really fun because I can do it at my own convenience, right before a shower and playing on my iPad. It is easy, fast and I am always looking to try new versions of beauty masks.

    The ClaySpray is unique in it’s packing, ingredients and its fresh approach to this ancient beauty routine. I recently tried the Glow Red Clay with Cacao Masque from ClaySpray and it was fantastic!  The clay comes in a pump top can and it is quick, mess free and easy to use.  You only need a little for your whole face and the texture is like Nutella.  First spray your face with the water spray then apply the clay quickly. Se you can see on the tip of my nose, it started to dry already.  Once the whole mask changes colors. you know that it is ready to be washed off!

    The nourishing power of antioxidant rich cacao aids cell regeneration and neutralises the damaging effect of free radicals.  I used this for glowing, healthy, and radiant looking skin. The Glow Red Clay Masque instantly adds a boost of radiance to dull skin. The mineral rich formula includes iron to activate circulation, silica to boost collagen, alongside nourishing cacao, which is rich in anti-oxidants to rejuvenate. The restoring clay exfoliates and restores the skin’s surface revealing a glowing and healthy looking complexion.

    The process was so easy!

    1.   Spray or moisten skin with natural mineral water.

    2.   Dispense product into your hand and massage into the area to be treated. Avoid contact with eyes.

    3.   Leave on until dry.

    4.   Wash skin with water until clay is removed

    Fresh Face with @WhenMask

    Yesterday I got an awesome package from KOREA!  It contains 5 facial masks that solve skin issues like dehydration, dullness and the sense of blah.  When Masks are the perfect solution for busy women who need to give their skin the extra TLC it needs in a hassle free face mask that is both time and budget friendly. They are available at Sephora for $28. Way better than getting a facial at a spa!

    There are 2 pieces of film and the mask is in the middle. The one side is a shiny plastic, the other is like mesh paper – The MIDDLE mask is a gel texture. You can see from the pic below on that I put the mesh paper on my face by accident. LOL

    When Masks use a bio-cellulose sheet, a soft, gentle material made from coconuts that fits to stay on your face. There are five different formulas available using this material that is highly effective in delivering nutrients to the skin. It only has to stay on your skin for 20 minutes and you will feel a huge difference afterwards!

    A great item for travel, everyday and a little bit of at home pampering. If you are stuck for a mother’s day present idea – Try WHEN masks!
