My Top Five Best Beauty Products

Those of you who know me well, know I am OBSESSED with beauty products!! I am always researching products and trying them out. As soon as my girls are both in school, I plan to become an Esthetician. I read every book out there on beauty from within and topical beauty treatments. I thought I'd share with you a few of my favorites that I find work and I can't be without!

 Bath and Body Works scared me this year when I went in to stock up on my favorite lotion...Cucumber Melon. They told me it was discontinued! I have worn this for at least 12 years! It is Victor's favorite and the smell of this means Markee is near. I got online and discovered they had not discontinued it, they had pulled from the shelves in hopes other scents would sell better because this is their most popular scent. I can still purchase it online! Whew! I bought like 20 of them just in case though! It smells so clean and really keeps my skin dewy. Love it! I've strayed here and there, but always return to this.

I have been using Obagi products for the past two years. I feel this line has transformed my skin! It is expensive though. I originally got it from my esthetician/spa when I was trying to clear up melasma from pregnancies. I used it religously for 6 months and was amazed at the results. The one product I swear by is the sunscreen. It goes on thick and white. It creates a canvas on your face and an amazing glow. It prepares your skin for your base and protects it as well as having some anti aging benefits. I order it at amazon for much less than the spa price!

I don't know how I discovered this product really. But, it comes in the most beautiful, real wood tube! The brush is extremely thick and it really delivers a nice, thick coat of mascara. It is Tarte Amazonian Clay Mascara. I use the black. It is organic and I find it does not flake. I order it from QVC and get two for the price of one!!

This is the holy grail of all my beauty products!! I cannot say enough about this! I have used it for 13 years! I don't wear base. I use this as my base. It is a tinted moisturizer. It comes in one color...blue! It adjusts to the color of your skin! I never have to worry about changing colors with the seasons. It smells like cucumbers...my favorite smell! It has spf and antioxidants. It has a glow about it. It is dewy. I love it!!

This oil has transformed my hair!! You put it on wet hair and then dry it and style it. It makes your hair shiny and silky. I am crazy about this stuff! I get the best price online at the moroccan oil website. I buy big bottles as well as small ones to travel with. This stuff is liquid gold for your hair. ALL the celebrities use it! You will thank me for suggesting this to you!
