About: Spa and Skin Girl - Michelle Olsen

Name: Michelle

Occupation: Esthetician

Age: The Big 3-0!

About me: I am a recovering beauty product junkie. I just can’t seem to stay on the wagon.

What’s in my makeup bag? The better question …what isn’t in my makeup bag? You name it and most likely I have it or have tried it in the past.

#1 must have product: Liquid eyeliner. I can’t cut paper straight to save my life but applying liquid liner while driving is a piece of cake. Go figure! I currently love Cargo’s liquid eyeliner – the blacker the better.

Favorite brands: Too many to count! Dermalogica, Decleor, Avene, gloMinerals, Stila, Tarte, Colorescience, Jemma Kid, Kevin Aucoin, Paula Dorf, and many others.

Beauty tip/secret: Exfoliate - but just like eating when on a diet, moderation is key. Depending on your skin type, exfoliating too much can strip your skin of its natural oils and cause your body to over compensate producing more oil. Start off 2-3 times a week.

Biggest beauty concern: Keeping my sensitive skin happy. It’s a constant battle. I buy a new product and fall in love, only to have an allergic reaction a week later. Yikes! O’well, it’s a good excuse to try another product and helps me justify my addiction.
