My list
Some tips for my babies.
1) Drink more water than you think you can.
2) Wear sunscreen. Always. I don't care if you are only outside for 5 minutes a day. Listen to me on this one.
3) Wash your face every night. Never go to bed with makeup on. I once heard that for every night you sleep in your makeup it ages your face 14 days. I believe it.
4) Use Neosporin on dry, chapped, cracked lips.
5) Clean your phone. You'd be surprised at the amount of bacteria that ends up on your phone, then your cheeks, chin, etc. to cause breakouts.
6) Your skin goes thru an overhaul about every 7 years. If it worked for you in your 20s, it probably doesn't in your 30s. Don't hang onto something that no longer works for you.
7) Sometimes the gals at the makeup counters know what they're talking about. Sometimes they don't. Use your own judgment. Most places will let you either sample pretty much anything or have a lenient return policy. Don't get stuck with a product you hate.
8) High prices don't always mean high quality. Pick and choose what you spend your money on. I have $1.75 Healing Garden cleansing gel that I love, 99 cent Wet and Wild lip liner (#666- it's the only one you'll ever need) but pretty much rely on MAC exculsively for my eye shadows and can't live without my Benetint.

9) Experiment. Use eyeshadow on your lips mixed with gloss, blush on your eyes, lipstick for blush. Stop messing around buying 'matching" products. If you get a gorgeous color see how many ways you can use it!
10) Stress wrecks your face. Have a glass of wine, get some sleep, and watch a little Pearl. Your skin will thank you.:)
I think chinese and movie nights make skin happy... we need to do one for your B-Day :)
Pearl ROCKS!
