Wednesday is Share a Beauty Tip Day!

If you love beauty products like I do, then you undoubtedly appreciate a great tip from others on how to make skincare or makeup last longer or secrets to applying it. Every Wednesday I am going to share a tip I have found incredibly helpful and invite my followers to share a tip they consider a "life saver".

So let's kick this off with a tip for applying skincare. Always apply a serum after cleansing your face. Serums are the delivery system for masques and creme's to allow the potent powerful ingredients to be delivered to your skin's cells with the most effectiveness. Try our line of serums here and definitely check out Votre Vu's Les Sorbet which is a frozen serum packed with marine elastin and collagen to repair and fight off the aging process. It tightens and firms while repairing cells and restoring lost collagen to your skin. Les Sorbet by Votre Vu won Shecky's Beauty at It's Best Award in 2009 and rightfully so. It's simply amazing.
Ok BFF's - now it's your turn to share your tips. The tip I feel is the most valuable one to our readers will receive a sample of Votre Vu's Serum for their skin type.
