I`m probably gonna write many post about her since I admire her beauty and since she is one of my most favorite celeb! According to the little Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets, Cameron Diaz uses her lipstick make up as a blusher, especially for the on-the-go touch-ups. The beauty benefits you get from wearing lipstick as blush:

1. Gives your cheeks a youthful, healthy looking glow.

2. The color coordinates your cheeks with your lips, which create high fashion photography look.

3. Matching cheeks and lips can set off other features such as long, dark, thick lashes, or great bone structure.   

In order to make sure her entire make up applications such as eye-shadows and blush is applied smoothly Cameron Diaz uses the Sonya Dakar Hydra-soft lotion, which is a great oil free moisturizer. More to that, her basic foundation smooth and clear skin maker which is the Sun-forgettable 30SPF mineral powder, helps smooth and clear skin. It is one of Diaz`s favorite duel cosmetic application: an amazing mineral facial healthy foundation make up application plus an anti wrinkles protector at the same time, thanks to its 30 SPF powers, against the aging UV rays! Two birds in one stone… mmm.. not bad!

Surprisingly, however true, many of us are working late and collapse into bed once arriving home at night, and often fall asleep without washing our face. It is a bad habit according to most dermatologists since going to bed without cleaning our face can lead to clogged pores and breakouts plus sadly encourage anti-aging early signs.  

My secret solution in order to avoid this bad habit and go to sleep with a fresh clean skin is simple, yet very effective: Keeping a stash of cleansing wipes on my nightstand, near my bed so I can Swipe then- Crush!   . You wont believe how easy it makes it: These towelettes remove every trace of mascara and smoky eye; every hint of under eye concealer and lip-stain in under 60 seconds, not to mention the removal of dirt and dust that has accumulated on your skin throughout the day.

My favorite Wipes are the Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes, since they are ultra-soft calming cloths which gently dissolve all traces of makeup. Dermatologist tested, Allergy tested and alcohol-free, these wonderful wipes leave my skin moisturized enough so that I don’t have to use night cream. I also like them so much since they are perfect for travel as there’s no issue with taking them through airport security in your carry-on luggage! However, you can choose any brand you like for that purpose, AS LONG AS YOU CLEAN YOUR FACE BEFORE FALLING ASLEEP , keeping it healthy and beautiful for the long term!  Trust me, your skin will thank you for that in years to come!
