Drugstore to Dior

Everyday I hear from clients who are overwhelmed by the endless beauty and cosmetic options!

Basics of beauty and questions to ask yourself:
1. How would you define your beauty style? Natural, Glam, Trendy, etc
2. How much time would you like to dedicate (key word) to your beauty routine?
3. What is your beauty and cosmetics budget? Every client's beauty budget is different...I personally would spend $75 on the PERFECT lipstick but only $10 on mascara!

There are quality products that won't break your budget, which perform just as well as any counter brand! What drugstore brands are lacking include (but are not limited to): pigment concentration, research, key anti-aging products, and fancy packaging.

Some of my faves:
L'Oreal Million Lashes (AMAZING is an understatement)
CoverGirl Lash Blast Mascara (original orange tube!!)
Revlon Photo Stay Foundation (great stuff, lightweight yet full coverage)


Some of my FAVORITE counter products:
Smashbox Primer (primer is THE key to a happy marriage with you foundation)
Estee Lauder More than Mascara
Cargo Better than Waterproof Mascara (for all of you that have watery eyes, yet prefer not to look like a raccoon the next day)
