Whatever happened to wearing a full-face of makeup? I used to wake up every morning at 4 to do my hair, makeup, and put together perfectly-coordinated outfits. That was about a year ago… Now, as a new mommy to a very high-maintenance little boy (Pomeranian named Boss; 12 weeks old), Marine wife, full-time executive assistant, and
insomniac…full-face makeup is a thing of the past.
I pass by a mall everyday and out of boredom decided to try something new.
I picked up the Origins VitaZing Energy-Boosting Moisturizer because the brand representative talked me into it…along with a few other items. And thank heavens she did. I now turn to Origins for all of my skincare needs and it’s the reason my skin is looking the best it ever has.
The VitaZing is by far my favorite product. It has a slight tint to it which provides a little coverage and instantly improves my skin’s clarity, texture, feel, and brightness. I’ve suffered from acne scarring for the last couple of years and this is the first product that has allowed me to go out on a daily basis without a full face of makeup. Alot of people will compare this product to a tinted moisturizer but I feel that it’s lighter in consistency and coverage compared to my Benefit You Rebel and since it improves my skin, is definitely the better buy.
After picking up the moisturizer about a year ago, I’ve since perfected my skincare. Here’s how my skincare/makeup has gone for the past 6 months.
