But first I prepped her skin. i love Dr. Dennis Gross’s LED mask So I started with that. What I used was Gillian Dempsey’s Gold Bars To her too. It really boosts blood circulation and makes the skin look really lively. Very relaxing. While I was doing this, I asked my girlfriend to put it on. Goop Beauty’s Lift + Depuff Eye Mask.

Oh, Carla is on a lot of planes and is always on the go, so I Lumify eye drops In each eye too.

I also used it on the inner corners of my eyes. I like it before mascara victoria beckham beauties future lash It’s pretty water-resistant and doesn’t smudge, so you won’t forget to curl your lashes.
