For Jewelry, the fact that my first sale was to Maria De La Rosa on The Weather Channel who wore them that day on her show. I thought, this is getting started on the right foot!
What is your beauty product must have? For make up removal I use Almay moisture wipes. They are gentle and get rid of all my mascara, which is a lot! I've recently gotten into mineral make up, I use several kinds, the one I like most is called Pur Minerals. It's a local company based in Atlanta, and is cruelty free which I love! I have a lot of creams and lotions I use because depending on my mood of how dry my skin is I switch it up. I would say the one thing I can't live with out is my WEN shampoo. I have naturally curly hair, which is on the dryer side. I find in all my years of trying different shampoos, this works amazingly!
If I were to peek in your makeup bag, what would I find? I always carry lip liner and lipstick. I used to always use Mac "Stripdown" lip liner, until I discovered "Natural" which is a lip pencil sold at Sally's Beauty Supply. It's very affordable and lasts longer. The color works on almost any skin shade. I always use a lash curler too, which I heat up with my hairdryer first, which make my lashes extra curly and keeps them that way.
What spa/salon service can you not live without and where do you go to get this service done? My Brazilian wax, I go to Wax by Andrea.
Who is your beauty icon? That's a tough one because there are so many beautiful women that inspire me. Madonna was the first, most recently I've really gotten into Jennifer Lopez's look. She's always glowing, which I think is sexy. She also plays with her make up a lot, and I love to switch up my style. I think it's important for women to play around with different looks which helps us to see ourselves in different ways.
What is your definition of Beauty? First, confidence is key! Standing up straight is important, which sometimes I have to be reminded of. At 5'9, doing make up and DJing, I find myself hunched over sometimes, and that's very unattractive. A beautiful woman can diminish her beauty when she doesn't carry herself with confidence. Beauty is also how you treat other people. A gorgeous woman or man can quickly turn ugly if they are unkind. So really beauty has much more to do with the inside than the outside. I also think that taking care of yourself by respecting your body through eating right and exercise makes us beautiful too!
Any last words?
