The Royal Secret- A Stinging Favorite of Mine

A lot of people are aware of the Duchess of Cambridge Kate and the Duchess of Cornwall Camilla both are known fans of Heaven's Bee Venom products. It is highly publicized that Kate Middleton, as the Duchess was known of back then , used bee venom masks on her Wedding Day. I started using Bee Venom  products 6 months ago and I am a huge fan. Before you use any bee venom products,  please do a skin test as printed on the product's label. Gwyneth Paltrow is another beauty who uses the bee skincare.(update - Gwyneth Paltrow informed me that she is no longer using bee venom as she was before. It is simply a change in products she is using. There is no need to be concerned about the safety or the health of the bees used in the manufacturing process. The extraction of the venom does not harm any bees. If you want to read more about how the venom is safely extracted, there are several online sources that explain how it is done.

 I bought Bee Venom 24 Karat Gold by Rodial 6 months ago and joined the ranks of other celebrity fans like Danii Minogue, Victoria Beckham, Michelle Pfieffer and Ellen DeGeneres. I loved it. The Rodial Gold product lasted me several month of twice daily use. I purchased the Rodial Bee item at an after Christmas bargain sale and it was a great bargain price. I was so impressed with how well its works and how long it lasts.

My 1st Bee Venom Product

Heaven's Bee Venom Eyes gives you that heavenly look. I am told it's a Royal Family Favorite.

I have switched now to Heaven's Bee Venom products. I use Heaven's Bee Venom Eyes by Deborah Mitchell twice daily. A small amount goes along way and it feel divine on the delicate eye area. You can get Heaven skincare  in the US or certain products have to come from the UK. Heaven is the specific company that manufactures the products used by the Royal Family or so I am told. I have heard great things about the company's Spas. It is a definite must do if you ever near one.

As I mentioned earlier in this post, Ellen De Generes is another bee venom fan. I am told Ellen swears by it and Portia Di Rossi was the one who told her about it.  Ellen is famous for her natural carefree effortless look. Part of that beautiful glow I am sure comes from bee venom products and not just from her relationship with Portia Di Rossi. When I wrote an intro and mentioned, "the skincare product is used by one of America's favorite comedians." I  could almost hear David Spade say," I am not going to say I use bee venom skincare products but I will say I use a good sunscreen." I know David well enough to I know that he will always have a witty comeback in response to something I write or say. David is fast one his feet and he always has something funny to say .

I combine my Heaven Bee Venom products with other skincare products I am using . It stings a little for a few minutes then it settles in nicely.

I love this mask. I use it twice a day .Once in the morning and I leave it on all day under my makeup. Be mindful that you do not get it in your eye area. I allow mine to absorb completely before I apply my makeup primer. Always follow the directions on the box.

Nicole Kidman's Favorite Foundation

I was recently taking with Nicole Kidman about her favorite makeup products. Just as in real life , Nicole in her movies likes to look her best and she always does. I like her honesty and frankness when she shows me what works on camera especially when doing close-up selfies. What Nicole is really showing me is how to get flawless skin and that trick works for everyone. Even though I am a fan of Too Faced Born This Way and It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better, she keeps telling me to try Dior or even Clinque's foundation. My dear friend and makeup expert, likes the products I am using, but she feels the Dior effect is amazing. The product she was refering to was Doir's Backstage Face and Body foundation. I saw her with it once before we had this discussion. Nicole Kidman said she has been using Dior foundation for years. Dior makes seven types of foundation for several situations. She suggested I try  the brand  since that would allow me to find my perfect fit for my lifestyle, foundation preference and skin type. I saw her with it once.

In the video clip I am using another foundation I use to use often on camera. I like the hydraulynic acid and coconut water in the two foundations I am currently using.

A clip from one of my YouTube videos showing camera work using Tarte Amazonian Clay foundation.

When mentioning Clinque , Nicole Kidman also spoke about how the most expensive product is not necessarily the best. In her opinion, many price conscience alternatives that are just as effective as costly ones do exist. Once again Clinque offers several types so I would recommend visiting your makeup counter and trying them on with consideration towards your lifestyle. The best foundation that is not waterproof is not going to work for a swimmer or aerobics instructor. My point is lifestyle is always important to reflect upon when picking your makeup.

A selfie of me using It Cosmetics Your skin but Better foundation.lightings change and that is another thing to consider.

My intention to write about the Royal Family skincare secret got a little sidetracked by my foundation report but I just received another product the Royals use and I wanted to add that specific product in my review.

Clarisonic Opal

I was looking to help improve some of the swelling I get at times . I wanted to capture a more refreshed look for photoshoots, on camera and for certain events. I heard about Clarisonic 's Opal from a friend. I am not exactly sure which celebrity have me the tip. So many celebrities were using Opal at the time. It was a go to for many of Hollywood's leading ladies before their important appearance work and Red Carpet events. Amoung Opal users are Charlize Theron, Sarah Jessica Parker, Demi Moore and others. I was told by another Opal fan the Clarisonic product made its appearances in the hand's of several stars before they made their appearances at the Oscars. 

The Opal is amazing in many ways. It is easy to use, it feels great on the eye area and it really makes a dramatic improvement your appearance. I love the massaging sensation the product gives and how relaxing I become while enjoying the treatment. I am aware that the product has been discontinued even though I have used mine for years. It did win Allure's new product of the year in a category. I can say how much I love it, and how great my experience has been using the Opal. There were some overeating issues I believe I saw online, but I have never had a problem with mine in 8 years of use. I keep 2 in my home and use 1 on a daily basis. I am hoping with some modifications, Clarisonic will bring it back.
