When it comes to beauty I’m a girl that appreciates instant gratification. I like when a mascara instantly does its job or a hair product goes in and completes your look. I also love when products give rewards like soothing or cooling and each of the above products has kind of a great tactile benefit.

1. Amika Dry Shampoo: Not only clarifies hair and adds volume but has an amazing smell.
2. Bare Minerals Loud and Clear lip balm*: Hydrating with just the most subtle of colors with a faint cooling effect upon application.
3. Kiehl’s Rosa Arctica eye cream: Cooling around the thin skin of your eyes, I put this on right before bed to fight fine lines and wrinkles.
4. Mario Badescu Cucumber Tonic mask*: This mask is all kinds of amazing. Ideal for oily skin like mine, it shrinks pores and leaves your skin feeling unbelievably tight and refreshed after use.
