About Me: 

I'm metisse1's mother and I really like surfing here for the comments and the tips! I like makeup but unlike my daughter, I like staple makeup that I don't have to change, once I find the right product, I keep it and stay faithful!
I'm obsessed by keeping my skin firm and moisturized and smooth, my daughter is jealous of me because of that! And I look 15 years younger too, but that's hard to prove when there's no photo!
I love cocoa butter, shea butter in organic products, Moroccan oil as well. I'm addicted to body moisturizers with citrusy fruity scents, sugar scrubs, dark lipsticks (wine, burgundy, copper, deep colors), transparent face powders, mascaras for sensitive eyes, makeup removers, nail polishes (light pink, golden colors). However, I don't like foundation, blush nor eyeshadows, they're bannished from ym makeup routine and I just don't enjoy the feel!

My Beauty Secret: 

Just like my daughter, don't be afraid to try out styles, define your own style, play with colors, shapes and don't feel that it's because you're too young or too old that your time's up for testing out new things. Now that my children are adults, I finally have time to concentrate on myself, and I enjoy my activities so much now, than when they were little!
Also, ladies, always have a staple perfume! You cannot imagine the look of my female colleagues at work who put on no perfume (what the heck?!) and look at me with envy and surprise when they see that I'm wearing the perfume they're addicted to smelling every day when I walk into the office! So please, have a perfume, it finishes a look, drives men crazy and you are definitely feminine.
Don't be scared to be ambitious and to work hard, that's a quality every woman should possess!
Also, enjoy wearing high heels, red lipstick, eyeliner, mascara and being a super feminine pin up! It's great to play around with your looks, honey you're the queen!

My Routine: 

about 10-15 min (low maintenance unlike my daughter):
MAC Prep and Prime Finishing Powder (can't find it anymore and drives me wild! I hate foundation and the fact that it melts and stains!)
L'Oréal eyeliner (I never seem to get it right according to my daughter!)
Innoxa mascara (have very sensitive eyes and my lashes are too short but this one works wonders!)
NYX Lipgloss in Burgundy (stole my daughter's Plum Sparke Lipgloss, loved the color and wanted a color close to that!)

No blush, no eyeshadow, just that and I'm happy with it!

Redeemed points (May19th) :
Cosminology Dr Dima cream (I exchanged it with my daughter, who got the Ganache Lip Balm in Lemon Mousse and Vapour Lipstick) and I love this cream! It's more suited to me than to her!

My Celebrity Look-a-like: 

Because of my clothing style (very conservative yet flirty and chic with bright colors), my colleagues refer to me as Michelle Obama!

Fav Product #1
I can't live without this product...

Alba Botanica Sugar Cane Polish

Wow! This is fantastic! I still swear by black Moroccan soap to exfoliate but this is actually cheaper than everything I got and lasts much longer too! Also, the scent is divine, it's organic, the sugar melts like candy and you truly feel exfoliated and cleansed and the grains are not too big, nor scratchy, another good thing! It makes me feel like a goddess and I just love sugar body scrubs more!

Fav Product #2
I wouldn't die, but I would suffer greatly without this product...

Now Foods Cocoa Butter

Wow, this product is amazing! Ladies, if your skin in the winter or in any season is driving you nuts because it's try, if you need to moisturize and if you want to smell like cake (who doesn't anyway?!) and youlicious (mix of you and delicious), try this at once. It moisturizes in no time, nourishes like no other, is multi-tasking, for sunburns, chapped skins, lips, scar tissue, stretch marks, you heard me! And it's organic!!!!!

Fav Product #3
Without this product, I'd have to start drinking at noon ;-)

Now Foods Shea Butter

Born in Cameroon, shea butter is a revered product over there and in other parts of Africa. I used to buy this unrefined stinking shea butter that wouldn't mix well in my palms, but with this one, it's so much better! It melts in your skin in no time, and has no bad smell at all. Also, the pot lasts longer and again, it's multi-tasking, for hair, body, face, lips, scars! One of my HG butters!
