My Daily Beauty Routine

merlot skin care, grape seed, natural, beauty products, beauty routineHow would you describe your personal day-to-day look?:
I would say I usually follow the same routine for work:  conservative/professional , and fairly natural looking.

What’s your skin “type?”:
My skin is dry/combination and sensitive.  I use retinoid, so my skin cannot tolerate too many anti-aging products along with it.  If my moisturizer isn’t gentle enough my skin gets very red.

How do you clean/cleanse your face?:  
I use a (1) Clarisonic with a creamy cleanser.  I also love (2) Merlot’s Toner.  I use it at nighttime after my cleanser and before my retinoid.  It’s non-drying, helps prevent breakouts and helps calm my skin.

What are your go-to color cosmetic products?:
I have blotchy skin, so I use (3) Bobbi Brown foundation.  I like (4) Revlon eye shadow, (5) Burt’s Bee’s lip balm with natural lip liner, and (6) Opi polish on my toenails.

How does getting yourself ready make you feel about yourself?:
It gives me a boost of self-confidence, especially after a long work day.  And it makes me feel pretty.

Do you have a favorite perfume?:
(7) Beautiful by Estee Lauder.  I love floral scents.

Any beauty resolutions for 2013?:
Wear more sun block, drink more water, and eat more vegetables.
