Amway G & H Hand Cream Review

This is a review on the new Amway G & H Nourish+ hand cream. Amway just released this new line. This stuff is awesome! It leaves my hands moisturized but not greasy and they stay moisturized for hours. I do my own acrylic nails at home and my hands and cuticles get very dry and I love putting this stuff on right after completing a full set or fill in.

The formula contains a blend of orange blossom honey, shea butter, and pumpkin seed oil. They say that the orange blossom honey is one of nature’s best moisturizers. Shea butter is naturally rich in vitamins and incredibly nourishing for skin. Pumpkin seed oil is a super food that is rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins. It is dermatologist tested, allergy tested, wheat-free and includes no animal products. They are also not tested on animals.

It also can not be bought at any store, it has to be ordered online. My mom is a distributor though and you can purchase it on her website here. It is $13.85 for 3 30 ml bottles which are the perfect size for your purse!

It is lightly scented and I do love the scent as well! I will definitely be repurchasing this product and will be making sure to keep it on hand!

Blue Smokey Eye Look

Hi there beauties! Today I am actually doing a full face makeup look. This is my first time doing one on my blog and most of this type of look that I have seen have been on Youtube. Which, by the way, I am debating on starting my own channel. Give me your thoughts on that in the comments blow! Or you can go to my Contact Me page and get a hold of me there!





So here we go! This is my go to face routine. I have already washed and moisturized my face using my Paula's Choice products. And here is my beautiful, clean bare face!

I primed my face using 2 different primers. I started with my Artistry Exact Fit Beauty Balm Perfecting Primer. It smooths out my pores and skin tone and gives a subtle glow to the skin. And then I followed with my Make Up For Ever Step 1 Mattifying Primer. I only put this in my areas that get oily and it helps to keep me matte throughout the day. I have a few spots that get a little dry and this stuff is so good at mattifying that it will make those spots dryer if applied there. And this is what my primed face looks like.

And then, of course, my furbaby Wally has to come in a make his photo bomb appearance! It wouldn't be a true blog for me if one of my furbabies wasn't in a photo!

I do like to color correct prior to applying foundation to cancel out my red spots. I like to use the green shade in the NYX Color Correcting palette. I like to use this tiny detailing brush from ELF for this because it gets the product right where I want it and then I blend it out with my finger.

And here is my very
concentrated while applying
my color corrector face.

And then the finished
color correcting
product.

Now I will apply my all time favorite foundation! The Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet foundation in shade 15, which is the lightest shade they have. Shout out to all my pale princesses out there!

I like to dot it on my face one section at a time and then stipple it on using a very dense brush like this ELF one. I feel like I get the most coverage this way.

And like magic, I am flawless! It is the perfect shade for me, it is high coverage without being cakey and uncomfortable. I love this stuff!

And now I use the Tarte Shape Tape concealer in shade fair to conceal under my eyes. This stuff is the best at concealing my dark under eyes without creasing.

And here we are, concealed to
perfection and set using the
RCMA No Color Powder.

And, for some reason, I didn't show my contouring, highlighting or blush. Not sure what happened there so we will just move right along...

I did my brows using the Anastasia
Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in the shade
Auburn. They might look kind of crazy
but they look better when my whole
face is done!

I primed my eyes using the Urban Decay Primer Potion and set that in place with a light dusting of the RCMA powder. I then went into the Kat Von D Shade and Light Eye palette. I used a mixture of the shades Ludwin and Samael as a transition shade in the crease.

Then I went in with the L'Oreal Infallible eye shadow in the shade Timeless Blue Spark all over the lid.

I then placed some of the shade Sytry from the Shade and Light palette in the outer V to darken it up.

I then used my Maybelline Eyestudio gel liner and lined my top and bottom water line and smudged it out a bit.

Then I used my holy grail mascara: the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes. That made my eyes go from a little bit of a blue pop to hello bright blue eyes!

And that completes this look! If you enjoyed this blog please do me a favor and subscribe to e-mail notifications for when I release new blogs!

My Top 5 Makeup Products

If I had to throw away all of my makeup except for 5 items of my choosing, these are the items that I would keep:

My first item would be the Artistry Exact Fit Beauty Balm Perfecting Primer. I love this stuff! On days that I don't want to wear foundation I will apply this by itself. It smooths out my pores, evens out my skin tone and gives a glow to the skin. Unfortunately it is not sold at just any makeup store. It is made by a company called Amway, but you can purchase it from my mother who is an Amway distributor at her site here.





My next item would be the Morphe 35O palette. These shades are buttery soft and just the right amount of pigment. Very blend able and easy to work with. I just love

the shades in this palette, you can do so many looks with them.











My third item would be the Maybelline New York Eystudio gel eyeliner. I have been using this for about 2 years now and I love it. It is super black and easy to work with. I line my water line with it and use a flat brush to smudge it and smoke it out.










My fourth item is the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes mascara. This stuff is a miracle worker. It makes you look like you are wearing falsies with none of the weight or hassle of gluing things to your lashes. This is another product not available at makeup stores. You can, however, purchase it from my friend Stacey Gaither who is a Younique distributor at her site here.










And my last item is the Palladio rice paper blotting sheets. These things soak up oil and apply the perfect amount of translucent powder to make your makeup look matte again. These can be purchased at Sally's Beauty Supply.

My Skin Care Routine

This picture in the left is my skin. It's my skin on a good day. The good thing is that I have more good days than bad days now. 2-3 years ago that was not the case. I have found a skin care routine that works for me and that involves the products in the picture on the right.

My morning routine is using my electronic face scrubber. I use the Philosophy Purity Facial cleanser for this step. The reason that I use it is that it is a cream cleanser, it's not abrasive, and it doesn't strip the skin of moisture. I also use this facial cleanser on my makeup artist clients because it truly can be used on any skin type. I usually have an affiliate coupon in the right hand bar if you are interested in purchasing it. I spend a good 2 minutes scrubbing my face on the slowest setting in gentle circular motions.

Next I wash my face gently with the Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser with my fingertips. It is so much easier for the face wash to clean my skin and pores because I have deep cleaned my skin and pores with the brush. I than put on the Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Daily Defense Moisturizer with SPF. Then I am set for the day!

My nighttime routine is first cleaning the makeup off of my face using the Amway Artistry Eye & Lip Makeup Remover to remove my makeup. I like this formula because it has an oil base that cuts through water proof makeup. You can purchase this remover from my Mom's Amway site here.

My next step is to use the Purity facial cleanser again. This time I just use it with my fingertips and I massage it into my skin for at least 2 minutes. I then apply the Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel. I also apply Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Serum and then I'm ready for bed!

This combination has made a world of difference in my skin. I am looking into what I could add or use to improve the texture left behind from years and years of acne but I haven't found that product yet. I am always open to suggestions on products to use so feel free to comment below.
