Shhhhhh....It's a Seacret

Seacret is a line of skin care products with minerals from the Dead Sea.  I'm sure you have seen the vendor booths in the mall and have been chased down by one of their sales people- ha.  I have to say annoying when I am carrying a 3 year old and in a hurry.  This particular line is now being sold like Mary Kay.  I have a connection who is selling these products so I kinda have the hook up :)  Check out some of my stash below.  I love the mineral salt body scrub and I follow it with the body butter.  It leaves a healthy sexy glow on my skin.  I recently received a mud mask, facial serum and face moisturizer.  I love the serum, its infused with vitamins and minerals and I feel great about putting this on my skin twice a day- can't hurt it right?  I also love the mud mask, check out my scary pic below.  I have considered attempting to sell these, but they can be kinda pricey and I am not really a sales person.....HATE asking people to buy stuff.  So, I thought I would try them out for a while, and if I fall in love and am passionate about, I may take a stab at it.

Friday Funnies and other things....

We have been reading Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs before bed each night, he calls them Neatballs- cracks me up- I don't want to correct him.



Other things:

Brooke recently did a blog post on her make up organizer.  I have a similar one, and love it, so figured I should give it a shout out as well :)


Isn't she lovely???  I want to name her.


Bottom Drawer:  Eye Makeup
Second Drawer: Left Side: Blush  Right Side: Mascara and Eye Liner
First Drawer: Powders, Foundation, Primers, Bronzers and Highlighters
The top has an open lid that has four compartments, I don't really use this part of it, but I have stored a few nail polishes and lip products here. On top of my organizer I have another organizer that I found for $16.00 at a store in Homewood.  It has several compartments and I store all face wash products and creams as well as my make up brushes.  


I LOVE MY ORGANIZER!
I think I use more of what I have vs. going out and buying more and it just makes the rush of getting out the door in the mornings a little easier.

Beauty Products- Down to the Pore....

So, lately I have been into skin care products.  I really want the size of my pores on my nose to shrink.  Its all I see when I look in the mirror.  Anywho- so I went to Ulta in search of some pore shrinking products.  I purchased  Formula 10.0.5 Pores Be Pure Mud Mask and Down to the Pore Strips.  I chose these because they were only around $10.00 each and the packaging is cool. 


I did browse the skin care section at Ulta, and gosh everything is so expensive.  I've heard such great things about the Philosophy line, but just don't know if I can bring myself to pay that much.  I'm sure I will cave and end up buying it.....  I've also been researching the Clarisonic.  I've read really great reviews, so this may be my splurge for Spring.  I currently use make up remover wipes (which I feel are rough on my skin) and then follow with eye make up remover (I use close to 7 cotton balls- ugh) and then wash my face with a mild face wash Neutrogena Simple or Mary Kay.  I then have to do eye make up remover again, because what I had still on my eyes smeared when I washed my face.....and I still don't feel fully cleansed.  So I've read that the Clarisonic gives you that deep clean feeling.  So, when you apply moisturizer or anti aging creams it settles deeper into your skin and you soak up more of the good stuff!  I will keep you posted if I end up getting this.  I'm excited just thinking about it.  My goal is to start doing a mask and nose strip once a week along with a scrub once a week and use a gentle cleaning cream/wash every night and morning.  I'm also a sucker for anything that has vitamins and minerals in it.  I honestly wonder if all the anti wrinkle cream stuff even works....I feel like good skin is a combination of genetics and taking care of yourself when you are younger (your diet, spf and adding vitamins and minerals to your skin), I feel like if you keep up a good routine of doing so, your skin will be the best it can be with what God gave you.

For all your beauty product questions and concerns please go to What's the Story Brooke?  She's way more into this stuff than I am, although I feel like I'm not far behind.  We would probably be so dangerous in Sephora together....eek.   

Have a Pore-tastic Friday- yeah....that was lame...I know ha
