Brighten Your Skin - the Natural Way + Giveaway

Vicky Mejia sharing her natural skincare tips
I recently had the opportunity to meet celebrity makeup artist and bridal makeup expert Vicky Mejia, during a Natural Honey Board event in Los Angeles.  

During her presentation, Vicky offered those in attendance quick and easy-to-recreate at home, natural skincare recipes as a "natural way to brighten our skin."

Together with my dear friend and #llblog sister Candy, we both enjoyed a mini-facial with Vicky's "moisturizing honey treatment," which was surprisingly gentle on my skin and left a beautiful glow (although it was put over my makeup!).

Unfortunately, the clumsy person that I am, I dropped a bit of the the mask on my shirt when I was cleaning off my face!  So imagine my surprise that our SWAG bag was exactly what I needed at the time:  a travel-sized beauty emergency kit!

Purse-sized Beauty Emergency Kit Contents

Of course I didn't see all the beauty must-haves until I got home!

The great news is that one lucky winner of my first Spring Beauty giveaway will NOT have to wait for an beauty emergency to get this kit, because I will share that fabulous kit together with all the honey-based skincare recipes directly from the fabulous Vicky, to one lucky winner!

Until next time, stay beautiful and good luck to you!

  1. I would love this! First off, I love honey! If it is good enough for my Greek yogurt, I'm sure that it would be amazing on my face! While trying it, I'd be sure to wear an old shirt because I'm notorious for spilling things on myself.

  2. I love small little kits like this. It's always fun to see everything that is inside and it definitely gives you an opportunity to try new products without the commitment of buying them full-size!
