I vividly remember the first time my mom took me shopping for makeup. I was a sophomore in high school and we headed to Nordstrom one day after school to check out this new beauty line, bareMinerals. bareMinerals was different in that it was all natural {which means no oil, parabens, or silicone}, contained a ton of good nutrients for you skin, was built to be applied in layers for a light, clean look, and really worked to match your skin perfectly. I sat down in the makeup artist’s chair and was totally blown away by how good my skin felt, how natural I looked wearing makeup {compared to other girls my age!}, and obsessed with the ’3′ rule of how to apply your makeup perfectly. I left feeling like a beauty pro! If my mom was going to spend money on makeup for her teenage daughter it was going to be good and I’ve been loyal to bareMinerals ever since.

Since then, I’ve tried almost every product Bare Minerals has released over the years with little disappointment. At the end of January, bareMinerals released their newest magic potion – Complexion Rescue – and I’m addicted. Think the best parts of a BB Cream, CC Cream, and tinted moisturizer in one. It is a hydrating gel cream loaded with mineral electrolytes {electrolytes for your skin!!!} for fast hydration and rapid absorption to keep your skin plump and fresh. A study showed a 215% increase in skin hydration in just one week! I’ve been wearing this daily for the past two weeks and notice a very clear difference in my skin. Not only have I received numerous compliments but after washing my makeup off after I long day, my skin feels soft and firm.

The top photos are without makeup {only a clean face and a little bit of moisturizer!} and I love how you can see the Complexion Rescue working to hydrate my skin, cover any discoloration, and brighten. Did I mention that it feels SO light? It’s literally like you’re wearing no makeup at all. If you’re looking to give you winter skin some love or are just in need of a new beauty product to amplify your current beauty routine – I highly recommend trying Complexion Rescue {use it with the Smoothing Brush for easy application!}.
*Note: I’m wearing a mix of Natural and Vanilla.
