Best Makeup Remover!



Hi guys!

So whether you wear a lot of makeup or a little, or simply need a hydrating facial cleanser that REALLY works well, I have got you covered!

This is not a new product, but new to my beauty regime! The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter is my go-to cleanser that nourishes your skin like no-other.

It is suitable for sensitive skin, contact lens wearers and if you wear any waterproof makeup as I do, this will remove it perfectly. You can rub this all over your eyelids as you will see in my video demo below!






Did you watch? I hope so because seeing is believing right? One thing I've learned throughout my years of being a beauty lover and educator is that you know when you come across a great product and that is how I feel about The Body Shop's Camomile Cleansing Butter. When I love something I want everyone to love it!

I can say that this product leaves my skin feeling soft as butter after removing a full face of makeup and that says a lot. Often times trying to remove heavy eye makeup will leave my eyes irritated from scrubbing all of the makeup away. Not with this baby!

Easy Skin Hydration!

 

Need some skin hydration? Of course you do and this Vitamin E Quench Sheet Mask from The Body Shop is the perfect answer! You simply wear it for 15 minutes and it locks in 24 hrs of skin hydration! πŸ™ŒπŸ»









The mask contains natural-origin hyaluronic acid from France along with wheatgerm oil & it works to make your skin feel softer, smoother, and yes hydrated! 

I know on my 50 year old skin I need all of these things (skin softness, smoothness, and hydration) and finding a simple way, such as a sheet mask, to deliver skincare goodness is so perfect!

The Body Shop recommends using a sheet mask 1-2 times per week. I have found that after removing the mask (and massaging the leftover liquid into my face, and even my neck and chest as there is quite a lot of liquid leftover) that if I put the used mask into a ziploc baggie, it actually retains some of  the liquid. Although I do not recommend re-applying the same mask to your face as you don't want to reintroduce any dirt back to your skin, you can take the used sheet out a couple of days later and gently rub it onto your skin for a quick refresher. I try to place the mask into the baggie in a way that I am folding the used side (side that adheres to the face) so when I use the leftover I am using the 'clean' side. 



Happy Masking!



πŸƒBTW I’m also an Independent Consultant with The Body Shop and if you want to try one for yourself visit the Vitamin E Quench Sheet product link

Youthful wishes,

Tori Lee

Best Hair Dryer!

I am truly loving the new StyleDryer from Calista Brands by Maria McCool! I probably will never go back to a traditional hair dryer again. Not only is it completely versatile with its many attachments, but it is also light weight, colorful, and totally effective at drying AND styling your hair!

Some things I've found that I love about the StyleDryer:

πŸ’• The first attachment I used in the video below is perfect for adding lift while drying your hair AND no matter which way you pull the attachment through your hair, it does not tangle!
πŸ’• I switched to the paddle brush to finish styling and this is perfect to tame everything down and if you notice, my hair seems to get shinier right at the moment when I use this attachment!
πŸ’• My hand can be right up to the attachments without getting too hot which makes styling super easy!

πŸ’• No fumbling with two hands between a brush and blow dryer!
πŸ’• It also comes with a round brush if you want to add curls :)





For me it's a game-changer on the way I dry and style my hair. I even got hair extensions after making this video and I was so afraid that I would not be able to use the StyleDryer anymore. Nope, not the case at all! I can still use the root-lift attachment for the top of my hair. AND, it also comes with a concentrated nozzle that I now use first to dry the extension attachments near my scalp!
IT JUST WORKS ;)

Let me know if you've tried it or if you decide to give it a buy, what you think of it!
πŸŽ€ I bought mine @qvc

All the best,

A Few of my Favorite Things....



Holidays 2016
by Tori Lee K

#1 Jersey Shore Cosmetics Whole Body Balm



The Anti-Aging Whole Body Balm from Jersey Shore Cosmetics
works wonders from head to toe literally anywhere you need
rescue from dryness or to add hydration. I love it around my
eye area to help with fine lines and even to remove stubborn          
makeup smudges.

It's made with a certified organic formula, it is all-natural,
petroleum-free, paraben-free & petrochemical-free!
Did-I-mention it works wonders on hair fly-aways!

It comes in a small or large size. The handy small size
I keep in my purse and use it everyday when I am out
and about. The large size I keep by my bedside and love to
use it on my heels, my cuticles and even under my nose
when I have a cold.
I highly recommend you give it a try!






#2 Wen Hair Care Fall Ginger Pumpkin Replenishing Treatment Mist

My Next favorite thing is from Wen Hair by Chaz Dean. The Fall Ginger Pumpkin Replenishing Treatment Mist. The treatment mists are perfect for refreshing your hair anytime, anywhere! I love to spray it liberally the day after I've washed my hair and I'm too lazy to wash it again. I will blow dry it just a touch, and it looks like I've just washed and fully styled my hair. If I'm super lazy again the 2nd or 3rd day, you guessed it, this is my routine! In the summer time I will simply spray the replenishing mist, brush my hair and go!

Not only do I love the Pumpkin scent, but they come in a variety of amazing fragrances. I tend to switch which scent I use depending on the season. You can also use the treatment mists to hydrate your face, to spray on bed linens or as a room fragrance!

I so recommend trying this very versatile beauty product :)




#3 Jersey Shore Cosmetics Moisture Rich Hydrating Balms


Yes, I picked another product from JSC!

The balms which Jersey Shore Cosmetics produce are by far the best anywhere!
It seems that every month I adopt a new balm as my favorite.

What sets these apart from the competition is that they work to perfectly hydrate not only your lips, but any area that needs help! The scents they come in are so authentic, natural, organic and simply superb! I started my love for JSC with their Mongongo Vanilla Coconut Lip Conditioner which I first received in my Ipsy GlamBag and I was instantly hooked. I then began to try the rest of their lippies and quite frankly became obsessed!

Some of the scents/formulas available are: pumpkin, lavender, apple, chocolate, peppermint, black coffee & matcha green tea!

Very highly recommend trying :)




#4 Lime Crime Lipstick

My last 'favorite thing' is from Lime Crime Makeup
and their very extraordinary selection of lip products.

After my lips are nice and hydrated from JSC's balms, I like
to sometimes add intense color from Lime Crime's
various lipstick choices. I am a performer so having lip
color that is highly pigmented with long-lasting wear is of
super importance to me, and that is what these lipsticks
provide.

You need to check out their Matte Velvetine's, the Perlees
& the new Diamond Crushers. You can create endless color
combinations with the many options. These are what I choose to wear when
I'm performing or when I'm hitting the town and want a bolder
lip! Ok, so I don't actually 'hit the town' too much anymore....but
you get the idea!!

I'm wearing Velvetine 'Raven' with 'Mercury' in center of lips 


In conclusion, it is that magical time of the year where everyone is super-busy buying for everyone else, so why not treat yourself? It's always good to take care of number one which then makes it that much easier to take care of the people you love!

I truly hope some of you will try at least one of these items in my favorite things lists,
and if you do, please let me know how you like them!


All the best to you this holiday season,

Did You Know? Beauty Tips by Tori Lee




1. Did you know, you should keep baby wipes by your makeup set-up? Not only can you remove your makeup with them, but they work perfectly to clean your brushes between use and to clean your workspace. 

2. Did you know, the most effective way to apply your concealer under your eye is in a triangle shape with the point downward?

3. Did you know, your foundation and makeup looks much smoother on your face if you first remove any peach fuzz?

4. Did you know, using a lighted magnification mirror can tremendously improve your makeup application?

5. Did you know, CC cream is for “color correcting” skin & it works to treat skin issues like redness or sallowness usually by adding light-diffusing elements? It tends to be used more by women concerned with aging skin. Many CC creams contain an SPF (usually a higher SPF than BB creams) and provide very decent coverage. 

6. Did you know, BB creams are considered a “beauty balm” or “blemish balm” and have more of a lighter consistency than traditional foundation (and CC creams) and has added benefits such as an SPF & built-in primer? 

7. Did you know, you can join a beauty box subscription plan such as Ipsy, Glossybox, Birchbox, LaRitzy & many others that provide monthly goodies delivered to your door usually for under $25? They are a fantastic way to try new products and ones that you may never have come across if you weren't a subscriber. 

8. Did you know, if you are not a makeup person or simply do not have enough time, by just adding a tinted moisturizer, a coat of mascara and some lipgloss, you can look pulled together?

9. Did you know, contouring is not as difficult as you may think? With a simple brush stroke, using a slightly darker shade than your foundation, (either with a contour cream, powder or even bronzer) moving under each cheek bone up to the ear and down each side of the nose you can achieve a contoured look. 

10. Did you know, highlighting is just as simple? Highlighter pencils, creams, powders are available everywhere including drugstores, and the best place & easiest spots to highlight are straight down the middle of your nose & the tops of your cheekbones.  

11. Did you know, applying your lip liner after lipstick helps you to shape your lips easier?

12. Did you know, you can use an eyebrow pencil in a shade such as medium brown for a lip liner? 

13. Did you know, if you put one finger in your mouth after applying lipstick, close your lips around your finger and slowly pull it out, you will remove any excess lipstick?

14. Did you know, if you first apply an eyeshadow base (primer or even a cream shadow stick), preferably one with color, that almost any eyeshadow you use will not only last longer but you will get a more rich, pigmented color?
