As much as we love to play with bronzer, highlighter, and blush, nothing feels better than having naturally glowing skin. If you want the “woke up and looking beautiful” feeling, you can actually work toward beautiful skin, even when you’re not thinking about it. We dub this the “Amazing Skin Shake”, because after we tried it, we instantly felt more beautiful inside and out.
