Vivant Skin Care

OK, so you may know me as a makeup freak! But My makeup would never look as good as it does if I didn't take care of my skin!
Ladies, most women wait until it's too late to start taking care of their skin and then they invest in Botox and other things like it! Don't follow this trend! If you start young, you have a great chance of having great looking skin when you are older!
I'm an Esthetician, I enrolled in school because "I liked to pop pimples" (gross I know! LOL) But when I started really learning I was hooked! and I love to help friends, family and , clients with their skin care issues!

With that said... When I heard that Vivant Skincare was looking for people to try their products, I was like "MEEEEEE!!!!" Unfortunately I wasn't chosen! but later they emailed me and asked me if I would try their cleanser and I said "YES!!!
I'm glad I did! Their Green Tea Antioxidant Cleanser is amazing! Wow what a feeling, It leaves my skin feeling refreshed, energize and so clean! I love that you only need a very small amount of product, it lathers just right and it gets the job done! 
I only wish they would have sent me other products to try! (I'm a serum junkie!)

I've been using it for a few days and I can already see my skin brighter and feeling softer! I think I'm officially hooked on this product!

A few facts about this cleanser : Is a universal cleanser with antioxidants, green tea, grape seed and kiwi extracts... yum!! (for my skin of course!)  and it helps to preserve the skins natural acid mantel! It's great for all skin types! 

You  really couldn't ask for a better product for the great price! 

They sent me the 2oz bottle which retails for $11.00
Their 8oz bottle is just $29.50 
and Their 16oz (wow) just $53.50

Check them out, you wont regret you did! And That's my honest opinion!

Special effects or beauty ?? That is the question!

For so many years I've been dedicated to beauty makeup, and I'm great at it!



But for the past 3 years I've been playing around with special effect....... Oh how my heart is torn !
I've grown To love the special effects.




But they are those the say you can't do both, some argue that you have to choose you can do both because you would be better at one than the other!


I say if you love something you can grow to learn in every aspect of it..... I love makeup and I love every single part of makeup, I learn to love it so much that I got the passion to teach it, and I became very good at it, I love natural makeup, fantasy makeup, beauty makeup, special effects makeup and all others.. That to stay focused just 1 area it's like stooping the growth of my passion for art.















Well some people consider them hey beauty makeup artist, or a fashion makeup artist, or a special effects makeup artist etc etc etc... I consider I'm a specialist in all areas of makeup. If somebody is forcing you to choose, tell them that you can be great in all of them and that is the beauty of Art it has no rules. 



Besides how can I call myself a good teacher if I don't know everything is the world makeup.....
I couldn't ... But I could because I consider myself a master in all areas of makeup. Join me in my journey in all of the areas of makeup the world. Follow my work here on facebookYouTube , twitter and  instagram @beautybyshaq, I hope you enjoy the journey.
