Top 5 Holy Grail Products - the Navy Corpsman edition

Allow me to introduce my next guest on the Top 5 Holy Grail series.... Jen is fondly referred to as Doc. She's a corpsman in the US Navy, and an all around bad@$$. She lives with her totally handsome husband, two fur babies and three jellyfish. Yes, she has jellyfish. #jealous I've had the honor of doing her makeup for several occasions, including her wedding, and have been her skin therapist for the last four years.

Amber: So tell me about your favorite beauty products - your skincare, makeup or hair favorites! What are your top five products you can't live without and why?

Jen:

1. Probably would have to be my IT Cosmetics foundation. That stuff covers EVERYTHING!

2. Definitely IT Cosmetics mascara. Used it once, then never looked back! It's the best mascara I've ever used.

3. Rimmel Scandal Eyes eyeliner. It's inexpensive, but you'd never know it by how well it works. Truly love that stuff! (Amber's note....anyone following this blog notice a trend? Sweet Betty and I are also obsessed with this liner...get thee to a Target or Ulta...stat.)

4. Mac eye shadow. I can't help myself. I may have a problem.

5. Neutrogena make up remover wipes! Best. Invention. EVER.

Okay a few more questions to round out this interview - What color is your hair? Brunette

What is your eye color? Hazel

How would you describe your skin tone? Light Olive

How would you describe your skin type? Combination (Amber's note: usually she looks at me and says "UM...I don't know, that's why I have YOU. You tell me what to do, and I do it")

How long is your morning routine? Roughly 30 minutes

If I looked in your purse right now, what lip product(s) would I find? IT Cosmetics tint and Burt's Beeswax Chapstick Amber: Thanks love!

Gel Moisturizers...huh?

Q: What the HECK are these Gel Moisturizers I keep seeing?

A: The quick and dirty answer is: Gel Moisturizers are typically water or aloe based moisturizers, which are great for all skin types, for different reasons.

Dry or Aging skin can benefit from the hydration boost of a Gel Moisturizer under their cream moisturizer. A Gel typically has large quantities of Hyaluronic acid in it, which will attract moisture from the air and lock it into skin.

Oily or Acneic skin can benefit from the light texture and non-comedogenic (won’t cause breakouts) factor of the Gel Moisturizer. Many times, oily skin is actually lacking in water, so the Gel will add the water and help balance the skin.

Combination skin can benefit from all of the above at different times and may find a gel moisturizer to be the perfect balance for their skin!

My Favorite is of course Bioelements, the Beyond Hydration. I’ve been using it this summer to help balance my skin. (pro tip: I keep it in the fridge to add to the cooling sensation when applied!)

Another pro tip: Gel moisturizers can be applied OVER most makeup. Just Tap it onto the skin where you need extra hydration through the day.
