Whitney posted the following yesterday on her blog:

Hi my loves,
I have noticed that a lot of you have been wondering how I do my makeup. I am not a big fan of heavy makeup so the majority of the time I do my own. I stick to the basics of face powder, bronzer and blush. Over the years I have learned how to do my own makeup because we don’t have a makeup artist for the show. Here is a little look at my daily routine.

I start by mixing Fresh High Noon tinted moisturizer with the Fresh Soy Face Cream to get a nice base with a little sunkissed glow. Then I dust Bare Minerals Powder with SPF 15 to even out my skin. Next I bronze with Guerlain Number One for Blondes on my cheeks, hairline and jawline. Then I brush a little bit of NARS Orgasm Blush on my cheekbones, a little on my forehead, nose, and chin to keep it constant. I use Anastasia brow gel to give my eyebrows a nice shape (this is especially helpful if I haven’t had time to go in to get them done.) I highlight under my eyebrows with Benefit Eye Bright and then curl my lashes with a Sephora eyelash curler. Sometimes if I’m really feeling like going all out for the day I put on Maybelline mascara.

This look is really easy to transition from day to night. I reapply the basics and use the Stila Smudge pot with a slanted brush to put eyeliner on. For my lips I love the Fresh Sugar Lip Stain with SPF in it.

Seems like a lot of steps but it really only takes 5 minutes!

xoxo,
Whit

Anthousa Collection

I was really excited to try the samples of the Anthousa home fragrance line and they were even better than I hoped. The candles smell so great, I just opened the box and the scent filled the room. They have the perfect fresh smell without overpowering you, with kids and a husband my house can get downright weird smells. Now when I come in I smell my wonderful Anthousa fragrances.

 On top of the to die for candles, Anthousa has a line of fragrance oils that are simply delicious. These would make a great hostess gift for the holidays just make sure to get one for yourself!

Yum! I am not sure how this scent sparkles but it really does, when lit this candle fills the room with a bright sparkly bouquet of fruit.  My kids favorite they always want me to light the “fruity” candle.

Pomegranate and Mint

A burst of sparkling fruit notes: pomegranate, dragon fruit, white peach and winter berry, interwoven with a touch of hibiscus and fresh freesia intermingles with a refreshing mint quotation.

$30.00

I want to carry this candle with me everywhere I go! With my heightened sense of smell in pregnancy I am running from one overpowering scent to the next. Anthousa’s  White Gardenia candle is my happy place of smells I love to burn it while I am in the shower or bath if I close my eyes I can pretend to be in a spa where kids can’t break in!

White Gardenia

A luxuriant accord of white gardenia flower interwoven with fresh lily and jasmine blanc, underscored with sensual notes of rich moss and white musk with a lingering hint of lotus blossom.

$30.00

Carol Alt, dubbed “The Face” by Life Magazine and “The Model that Started the Supermodel Trend” by John Casablanca, is one of the most recognizable faces in the world. She has graced over 700 magazine covers, appeared in 65 films, and was the youngest model to be the face of Lancôme. Her true passion has added another credential to the list: Raw Lifestyle Expert. With two bestselling books, “Eating in the Raw” and “The Raw 50,” and frequent speaking engagements, Carol is a sought after nutrition expert helping educate others on how to benefit from a healthier lifestyle.

With a pure promise, RAW Essentials products are “Certified Raw” – a 100% cruelty-free process that will never use petroleum, sulfates or detergents, synthetic preservatives (like parabens), artificial colors or fragrances, genetically modified organisms, or heat its ingredients above 115º.

RAW Essentials feeds skin the vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and proteins it needs to look healthy and younger. The powerhouse stable of ingredients starts with a remarkable amount of pure Aloe Vera– up to 82%! Other luxurious, natural ingredients include Virgin Coconut Oil, Tamanu Oil, Citrus Oil, and smoothing Omega 6 Fatty Acids. RAW Essentials also delivers luscious suds using sugar-derived ingredients as foaming agents. It’s no wonder the RAW Essentials 2008 debut on HSN completely sold out.
The RAW Essentials line includes cleansers, toners, scrubs, eye creams, face masks, moisturizers, bath salts, and body lotions and oils. Products are available for purchase online at www.rawessentials.com.

I was recently sent some samples from the Raw Essentials line and I wanted to tell you about my favorites:

A great face scrub with just the right amount of scrubbing beads. It leaves my skin feeling refreshed and tighter without leaving it raw. One of my favorite beauty treatments!

Raw-finish Rigorous Face Scrub
A completely non-chemical, non-abrasive, face scrub that will leave you skin feeling purified, invigorated and noticeably tighter-looking pores. Formulated with 40% pure aloe with Jojoba round micro-beads. Gently removes dead skin cells and promotes healthy cell renewal. Suitable for all skin types.

$19.50

I am a huge Aloe fan so right off the bat the amount of Aloe in this product had me interested. It’s a great moisturizer that hydrates but is still light enough to not feel greasy. It absorbs super quick and the citrus scent is yummy!

Raw-activate Daily Revitalizing Facial Moisturizer

Every raw drop delivers concentrated hydration, potent antioxidants and vital nutrients. Raw-active Daily Revitalizing Face Moisturizer is made with an astounding 40% pure aloe that is easily absorbed into the skin. Pure citrus essential oil offers a scent that is simultaneously refreshing and revitalizing.

$29.50

I have a real problem with a lot of eye creams due to my sensitive skin, so many of them end up burning my eyes. I love how gentle this product is on my eyes and how great it feels. Lately I feel like I have more and more to do and there is less and less time for sleep. Raw eye recoup has helped get rid of the puffiness in my eyelids and even with scraps of sleep I wake up with refreshed looking eyes. 

Raw-juvenate Eye Recoup

Raw-juvenate Eye Recoup boasts 82% pure aloe and is formulated with a powerful complex of antioxidants combined with essential nutrients to hydrate, help smooth fine lines and help firm for ageless eyes. Restores elasticity and moisture to the eye contour area and leaves the skin around your eyes soft, super hydrated and revitalized.
