CLARINS MAKEUP

New favourite: Clarins makeup! I heard great things about Clarins makeup line, but I never tried it; until now. The following pieces have now become part of my everyday routine and I simply can’t get enough, here is why! Clarins Rouge Eclat Lipstick: This creamy, hydrating & nourishing lipstick makes my lips feel smooth & radiant! It’s also age-defying, so it protects the lips in the process.

EYE CANDY – MAKEUP I’M LOVING

I’m a makeup addict. I don’t like the word hoarder, I prefer: makeup collector!

CONTEST: SHOPPING SPREE IN COLLABORATION WITH LISE …

Being a single mother is not easy, I know b/c I watched my mom work day and night to provide for my sister and me. She made sure we were fed, clothed, and had the best eduction.

We both got educated, became independent, autonomous, & financially stable. She is my idol, my inspiration, a person I look up too & the reason the Lise Watier Foundation is important to me. It is my turn…
