How to get a Perfect Complexion

Everyone wants their skin to look even and radiant. I'm going to share one new discovery of mine and two that I have BEEN loving.

I wash my face day and night and literally right after, I apply the First Care Serum ($80) from Sulwhasoo. This product eliminates one of my skincare peeves which is the feeling of the products just SITTING on your face. Say good bye to this! First Care Serum is essentially a treatment booster that enhances the results of anything you put on whether it be La Mer or Aveeno. Yes, this is true.

It also boosts your skin's blood circulation (Milkvetch Extract) and neutralizes free radicals which will give you a nice canvas ie. your skin. I swear by this. I will use it for the rest of my life. Make sure you follow up with a toner. (I use Sulwhasoo's Balancing Water which pH balances your skin and is a nice gel texture that is very refreshing.) Sulwhasoo is always applied by hand, no cotton pads please!

Then, I highly recommend the Revitalizing Serum ($120) day and night. This product purges toxins whilst boosting your collagen renewal. It has a smooth texture that feels great on the skin. You will find that if you wear any facial make-up, it will go on beautifully and make your skin look radiant.

As for the make-up for the ladies on the go(and even men-- and yes, it will be our secret because it's THAT discrete on, really!), I highly recommend my new godsend hot ticket item: Erno Laszlo's Regular Normalizer Shake-It! You can apply it over your foundation (for a more finished, photo-op look) or wear it alone for a pore-perfect finish. It controls shine and conceals imperfections in a light manner. It feels like a toner. Dab it on with a cotton ball and then buff. You're ready for anything after.

Kick back


I wanna kick back and say hey, I did okay.

I wanna laugh out loud in a quiet, grumpy train.

I wanna say we all don't need to prove anything.

I wanna take that stick out of so-and-so's suited-up gait.

I wanna drop everything sometimes and dance in the rain.

I wanna say a clock doesn't rule my day.

I wanna go somewhere where the sun chases away dismay.

I wanna kick back after all is said and done and say

Hey, I did okay!
