They say natural light is the best, so I’d do my makeup (when absolutely necessary) in front of these windows in the kitchen of my mirror-less casita in Paraguay.
So, true story, I spent 2 weeks in a house that had no mirrors. The house didn’t have a single mirror–not even in the bathroom. It was…interesting. In some ways it was frustrating. I mean, I spend my time taking pictures of myself and trying to sell beauty products and I couldn’t even look at myself! But it was also freeing. I didn’t worry about what my hair looked like. I didn’t fret over my makeup or my features…or anything else for that matter. At some point I just shrugged, sighed and said, “This is me, world. Take it or leave it.” And you know what, the world didn’t stop turning. People didn’t cringe in horror at the sight of my less than perfect looks. It reminded me that I am beautiful just as I am. I don’t need makeup. You don’t need makeup either. You’re beautiful, too. Period.

- I used the Ocean & Pacific palette along with Tint Skin Hydrating Foundation in Honey.

- Beautycounter makeup, some natural light, the camera on my phone for a mirror and voila!

This Holiday Season, Beautycounter has introduced a truly beautiful jewel-toned palette. I love a good palette! Last season’s Ocean & Pacific Palette was one of my favorites. It sold out so quickly. I bet this one will sell out quickly, too. The Winter Jewels Palette is a limited edition wonder for the entire face. It is packed with 11 all new shades –8 eyeshadows, 1 eyeliner, 2 highlighters–and a removable mirror. I love that it includes a mirror! I mean, I could’ve used that mirror a few weeks ago! It’s the perfect palette for any skin tone. Here’s everything you need to know.
