mario badescu vlog + giveaway

Today my blog is TWO! I can not believe it has already been two years, while at the same time I can hardly remember a time before I blogged. It has been hands down one of the greatest things I have ever done! I love blogging, sharing my passion for beauty with all of you, meeting new friends, hearing from all of you about products you love, and all the lovely little things in between. It has allowed me to start on a major dream and venture in my life that wouldn't have been possible without all of you! I can't wait to share that dream with all of you, but until then I have an AMAZING giveaway for you today to celebrate the big number 2!

I first found out about Mario Badescu from the woman (Kathy) who does my facials at Ulta in Stow (seriously she is amazing, go see her. I just do the 20 minute $20 facials once a month). Like most everyone else I get little blemishes here and there and was struggling to find a spot treatment that wasn't extremely harsh but still worked. She recommended the drying lotion to me, which has been praised in multiple magazines. Of course when I got home I started doing some research on this brand that I had never heard of and I found so many beauty enthusiasts who worship the brand. I couldn't stumble across a single negative review. 

The celebrities that back this brand are seriously impressive, names like Heidi Klum, Eva Longoria, Jennifer Aniston, Natalie Portman, and so many more. When browsing the site I found this great service Mario Badescu offered, consulting. Basically you fill out a quick survey about your skin concerns and needs and they give you a personalized routine just for you! A few days after you complete the survey you get an email that lists your recommended products, down at the bottom you can request samples of your regime. They will send you a fantastic package filled with samples and a great pamphlet that gives you the rundown on all the products and when and how to use them. 

I can not say enough great things about this brand. I have not used a single product that I don't LOVE. The resources on their site and information about skin issues is so helpful to find not only the products you need but also the sources behind the issue. Every time I go to Ulta I get myself a new product, and I am constantly on the MB website finding new products to help with my skin concerns. These are my next three items on my wish list.



Watch my review to hear me talk about some of my favorite products, how to use them, tricks, 
and of course some typical Lyndsey rambling ;)

  4. I loved the video, Lynds! I really want to try some of the masks they sent you. I went to Ulta over spring break and got the Rose Hips Mask, which is great for moisture and calming sensitivity and redness. It's amazing, I use it so often. And I definitely think it's one of the main things helping fade the red/purple colored acne scars I have. Give it a look on the site!

    Lets do something soon. :)
