Sponsored Post: Get a Fresh Beauty Look


If I had to choose, I would splurge on face products over eye or lip products. Why? I like thinking that I’m getting my money’s worth in powders and concealers because they have to be the perfect bases for the rest of my makeup.
Plus, good skin ingredients and color ranges come with pricier bases.
I’ve wasted so much time trying many face products to find the perfect ones for me. But when I did, it was worth it. My eyeshadows look better on my flawless face, and my lips are even more pouty when my complexion looks blemish-free.
These are the products that I’d marry and declare a relationship with for life. Read on to discover what some of my HG finds for the face.


Last week, I was browsing the makeup counters in Nordstrom with a plan to buy something new. Instead of acting on impulse, I sensibly decided to purchase a powder, since I was running out.
Powder is important since it keeps me from looking shiny, but I always want one that’s good for my skin. Minerals and SPF were the obvious way to go.
Browsing the counters, I decided to pay Miss Laura Mercier and her new Mineral Makeup Collection a visit. Being the neat freak I am, I disliked the loose powders in the line, but the Laura Mercier Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 15 ($35 US) caught my eye.


I have a Sephora Beauty Insider Card, the LBC (Little Black Card) that will give you great rewards like deluxe samples with every $100 purchase, a chance to buy exclusive products, and free birthday gifts.
But what if this program was amped up even more and had exclusive, elite benefits for a select few? Like a 10% off coupon for joining, invites to private events and parties, an accumulative holiday gift card, promotions and freebies, and access to a VIB hotline where you get your questions answered?
What if I said this was a reality and that VIB stands for Very Important Beauty Insider? I would think that I’ve died and gone to heaven.
