My Daily Beauty Routine

beauty products, beauty routine, merlot, grape seed, MAC blush, skin careLiving in a dry city like El Paso all my life has made my skin very dry.  There are so many creams out there that I’ve tried and none seemed to have helped as much as the Merlot products do.  I use Merlot on my face and all the way down to my toes, and I love it!

Every morning after showering I love to use (1) Merlot Body Firming Lotion all over my body, including my feet.  It’s best to use when my skin is still a tad damp so that it gives my skin that soft, smooth feel all day long.

Before heading out for work I beautify my face first by applying (2) Merlot Moisturizer.  I love to use it as a base before applying (3) MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation.  Using the moisturizer this way does not make my face feel cakey at all, which is a plus!  I follow up by using (4) MAC Mineralize Blush color Gentle on the apples of my cheeks.  For my eyes I use (5) L’oreal’s Waterproof Power Volume Collagen Mascara in Blackest Black and line them up with (6) L’oreal’s Infallible Gel Lacquer Liner in Blackest Black.  Then I’m off for a day at the office.

After work I head to the gym.  When I’m done with my workout routine I usually go to the locker room and wash my hands – this is where I reach for (7) Merlot’s Hand Cream Plus Sanitizer from my gym bag.  It’s awesome because not only does it leave your hands nice and soft, but it also sanitizes your hands.  After using the workout machines that are used by everyone in the gym I want to make sure to kill whatever germs are left lurking on my hands.

I end my day by heading home and hitting the shower.  (8) Merlot’s Cleanser is great to use after a workout to get rid of any dirt and impurities.  The best part about this cleanser is that it also helps to take off the mascara and eyeliner I applied earlier in the day.  After the shower I put on (9) Merlot’s Body Butter.  It leaves my skin silky smooth and refreshed for bedtime.
