m-61 Skincare Product Review - Bluemercury

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a skincare product junkie.  I don't typically use one line all the time - I like to rotate between different lines because they all have different ingredients and claims as to what they can do.  

I found m-61 a few months ago and it's a skincare line that is exclusive to Bluemercury - a site devoted to luxury skincare that works.  Their entire line is full of dermatologist-loved ingredients with power-packed naturals and is 100% free from harmful parabens, sulfates, and phthalates.  Best of all is that it works!  My skin feels so clean and hydrated afterwards.  Their fast blast facial mask takes only 2 minutes and my skin is exfoliated and brightened at the same time.  Another favorite of mine from m-61 is their microdermabrasion scrub - perfectly exfoliated skin in just a minute!

After exfoliating, I'll use their powerglow peel - a fine-line treatment peel exfoliates, resurfaces, clarifies and firms skin in one quick step.

And today is the last day of their amazing sale and gift with purchase so don't miss out!

Beauty Guide: 2017 Favorite Luxury Beauty Finds For Wrinkle Prevention

Ever since I turned 40 last year, I've noticed that my skin is dryer....maybe it is, maybe it's psychological, but I've been a lot better about taking care of my skin.  I've always been fastidious about putting on sunscreen and staying out of the sun, but I am starting to notice some fine lines.  Botox and other fillers are out of the question...I'm a chicken when it comes to pain and I feel like it's a downward spiral if I even got started.  

So, here are some of my favorite products that I've tried and absolutely loved.  You'll notice a lot of Shiseido brands on here - I grew up watching my mom and grandma use it and they have some beautiful skin.  

One thing I cannot live without is my bottle of Shiseido Future Solution Replenishing Treatment Oil - it is absolutely the BEST - it's an incredibly light oil that absorbs immediately into your skin.  I use it after I use my serums and incorporate a pump into my creams.

The IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup is another favorite of mine - it really melts away all the makeup - even stubborn waterproof eyeliner.

Here are some of my favorites that I use all the time - what are some of your tried and true favorites?

Beauty Guide: Neutral Beauty Palette - Tips & Tricks

I'm no master of make up - I'll admit that.  I really only have time for some eyeliner, blush, lip gloss and I'm ready to go.  I will use a bit more on occasion and these really caught my eye.  

Here are some tutorials on how to master the art of contouring - the videos are pretty helpful - and makeup lessons from the beauty guru herself - Bobbi Brown.

Please let me know if you've used any of these and how you like them:

Lip Care & Makeup Essentials

Happy Saturday Lovelies!  Here are just a few of my favorite lip care essentials!  

Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss  - perfect shine and keeps lips moisturized

Lip Scrubs - these sugar scrubs make your lips oh so kissable soft!

The skin on your lips are extra thin - make sure they stay protected with a sunblock formulated for lips - my fave is by Shiseido - use it underneath your lipstick- love that it has no taste nor scent.

Pretty Pastel Nail Polish Shades for Spring

Spring is almost upon us and it's time to change from our dark shades of nail polish to these pretty pastels!  

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact

I'm a pretty simple girl when it comes to make up.  Being a busy mom of 3 doesn't give me the luxury of standing in front of the mirror drawing the perfect cat eye!  If you haven't discovered the world of Bobbi Brown, let me tell you - they know beauty products.  Skincare, I use Shiseido, but when it comes to color, I love the ease of use, the richness, and the pretty colors that all her products come in.  

One of my favorite Bobbi Brown products is the shimmer brick compact.  You can use it over blush and layer for a shimmery effect - or if you're rushing out the door, I simply just brush some on over my cheeks for a pretty glow, put some lip gloss on - and I'm ready to go!
