" I also get lots of samples from my friends at Sephora especially for skin care"


"I think makeup wise I put the best in my professional kit, but I make sure that my personal skin care is impressive!"

I feel you girl! It's near impossible to keep amazing makeup to ourselves as we always put our clients first. Love the combination of Pro products, high end department store brands and a few trusty drug store brands. Proof that once it works, it doesn't matter the label!
