A certain little somebody made it to a certain big someone’s “Most Used & Favorites of 2011” list!
WHO: Kandee Johnson. As sweet as her name and her adoration for all things cupcakes, 80’s inspired, and DIY. She’s a woman of many talents: a mother of four with an inspiring story of strength and perseverance, a beauty blogger and Youtuber, and, drumroll please, a celebrity makeup artist!
Under her (brush) belt she could boast for MTV/VHI, CNN, ABC, CBS, The Tonight Show and more. She’s done makeup for a slew of A-listers – from talk show host Conan O’Brien to the “world’s first” supermodel, Janice Dickinson.
And you said Wonder Woman doesn’t exist?
WHAT: Protein Night Cream.
WHERE: Kandee’s “Academy Awards of Beauty and Hair Products,” a.k.a., her list of most used, favorite products of 2011. Found on her Youtube channel and her blog.
WHY: “This was my favorite: look, even the label wore off. It’s this Mario Badescu Skincare, (..) Protein Night Cream. This stuff is amazing. I put it on and I was like, ‘I look my skin is way younger.’ And I ran out, it’s totally empty… I have to order more online… I love this stuff!”

I enjoy watching Kandees “most used and favorites”, I’ve tried most things she blogs about and love everything. I can’t wait to try this night cream to see how it works for me!

Kandee is awesome! I splurged and ordered some stuff for the first time several months ago. The Whitening Mask and the Kiwi Scrub. Both amazing. The samples of Aloe Lotion and Keratoplast Lotion that came with my order were so good that I ended up getting a big bottle of the Keratoplast one at Ulta. I also received a sample of the drying cream and I like that too, although I don’t suffer from breakouts that often. Once my facial cleanser is gone, I’m going to try a Badescu one and see how it is. I’m sure it will be amazing too. Great stuff! I keep meaning to do a “My Best Products of 2011″ on my blog with my Badescu faves, but I haven’t had a chance yet.
