Freeman Beauty, Feeling Beautiful Facial Mask in Chocolate Strawberry

Valentine’s Day can be depressing for the single (especially the recently single) so for those of you flying solo this year, I propose an evening of pampering and TLC.  Who says Valentine’s Day has to be celebration of a relationship? [Read more...]

Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme SPF20

arbonne re9 restorative day creme spf 20When it comes to protecting your skin, you don’t get an “A” for effort.  It’s essential to find a product that contains ingredients that protect against future damage, while improving the look of the skin in both the short and long term.

I’ve been using Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme, and LOVE this product!  Not only does the Arbonne formula contain the antioxidant Vitamin C (a must for aging skin), but also has an SPF20 to protect the skin from future sun damage.  I love that this Day Creme absorbs quickly into my skin, not leaving an oil-slick behind.  Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme wears beautifully under makeup.

Your Best Face Prep Microdermabrasion

Your Best Face Prep Microdermabrasion

It was Spring Break 2010, and the first time my husband and I dared travel far with our two children.  Day #1 on Maui was wonderful, but chaotic.  By day #2, we finally relaxed and had fun. [Read more...]

At the beginning of the summer, my skin looked positively tattered.  Knowing I’d be baring much of it soon, I decided to splurge on DERMAdoctor KP duty body scrub.  I’ll admit, it was a somewhat pricey plunge!  At $44, this huge 16 fl. oz. tub won’t last for as long as you might think!  Still, it was a worthy purchase.

Signature23 Vita C Elixir Review

Signature23 Vita C Elixir ReviewThis Spring/Summer I’ve been revisiting old favorites. After sampling products, I keep the ones I love in large Tupperware containers when it’s time to move on to other reviews. Feeling nostalgic (and wanting to clear my closet a bit), I’ve been rediscovering the best products of yesteryear!

I reviewed Signature23 Skin Care waaaaay back in the Summer of 2009. I truly loved Suzanne Stonebarger’s Vita C skincare kit.  The standout product from her skincare regimen was the Vita C Elixir. [Read more...]

Mineralize Charged Water Review

While making plans for a summertime (gulp!) vacation in the desert, a reservations agent attempted to prepare me for what 120 degree dry heat feels like.

“Just blast your hair dryer directly into your face,” was his helpful advice. [Read more...]

MAC Sized To Go

I lived out of a suitcase for over two years of my life (though it felt like 30!) and pride myself on my ability to pack light, and yet have everything I need. Each week, when I packed up my tiny carry-on for a 5+ day work-week, I’d see just how little I could bring. [Read more...]

Estee Lauder Day Wear Sheer Tint Review

I’ll admit, I’ve been a bit preoccupied with a kitchen/bathroom remodel lately. Perhaps this task is why the second I saw what Estee Lauder Day Wear Sheer Tint Release Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Moisturizer SPF 15 looked like out of the bottle, I thought of caulk! Seriously, when you apply a tiny little drop of the product on your skin, you really have no hints as to just how natural a tint this product will impart.  It has an almost greyish white appearance!

StriVectin-SD for Sensitive Skin!

StriVectin SD for Sensitive SkinGreat news!  StriVectin is now available in a new formula for Sensitive Skin!  After all, we sensitive skinned consumers are aging too, right?

Here’s a fact that I recently learned:  it’s estimated that 50% of women have some sort of skin sensitivity issue.  That’s a lot of sensitive skin!  I am among those unfortunate ladies.

The people at StriVectin removed all fragrances, oils and other irritants from this updated version.  Then, they actually performed clinical trials of this new formula on sensitive skin, and it was determined that not only is the new formula compatible with sensitive skin, but helps to make skin less sensitive over time!

The key ingredients in the covetable anti-aging product at NIA-114 and Peptide Actives.  The NIA-114 ingredient is a patented Niacin concoction that actually helps the skin cells to rebuild.  Peptide Actives help promote collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Retail price for a 2.0 oz tube is $79.

Online retailers of the product include Macys.com, Nordstrom.com, Sephora.com and Beauty.com.

Bobbi Brown Brightening Gentle Cream Cleanser

bobbi brown brightening gentle cream cleanserLately, I have steered clear of sampling too many skincare products.  But when an opportunity presented itself for me to dip in to Bobbi Brown’s Brightening Gentle Cream Cleanser, I jumped at the chance.  This Winter has been exceptionally harsh on my dry, sensitive skin.  I’ve been trying everything to eliminate my dull, flaky and pasty complexion!

Bobbi’s Gentle Cream Cleanser is a godsend.  Naturally–based on my past history with the brand–I expected the formula to cleanse and exfoliate well, but the big surprise was how gentle the formula truly is!  It’s rich and think, almost with a mud-mask consistency.  Cleansing was thorough, and it did not irritate my sensitive skin in the least.  Most brightening formulas do!

Retail price is $30 for a 3.3 oz tube.
