Raging Rouge Beauty Blog: For Makeup Lovers Everywhere!
A beauty-blogging buddy of mine is running an Ebay Beauty Store for a salon that will be closing, and is massively overstocked in brands like Bumble & Bumble, Alterna, Pureology, OPI, Burts Bees, and so many more!
If you're looking for a good deal, CLICK HERE to browse the selection. I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm heading over right now!
I've sampled such wondrous cleansing products since launching the Raging Rouge beauty blog. Yet–when it comes to eye makeup remover–the selection of superior products quickly turns from abundant to scarce.
In desperation, I stumbled into Sephora one day intending to purchase a pricey eye makeup remover highly recommended by fellow bloggers. One of the staff attempted to divert my path in the direction of Sephora's own brand. I immediately wrinkled my nose, and rejected her recommendation. I had tried Sephora's formula in the past, and found it utterly lacking.
She corrected me. You see, Sephora's "FACE" eye makeup remover is actually available in two different formulas. The original formula (the one I had previously tried), and the new WATERPROOF formula. It's very VERY important to make the distinction here, as the bottles look virtually identical. Even In the image used for this post, the word "waterproof" is easily missed! (For those of you who love a good "Where's Waldo" game, stop squinting. The word "waterproof" appears in a tiny font, twice, directly beneath the word "FACE").
I conceded, and bought a bottle. I was so thrilled with the results! Finally, an eye makeup remover that literally removes every trace of my makeup. No more morning raccoon eyes, EVER! It just so happens, this brand isn't only effective, but also inexpensive! A 4.22 oz. bottle retails for only $10! The brand I had intended to purchase that day is 2 1/2 times the price!
Sadly, shortly after I became a convert, others discovered the product too. Sephora Brand FACE Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover flies off the shelves at such lightening speed, I've been forced to stock up in advance to ensure I never run out! I'm not exaggerating, I literally just had 8 bottles delivered to my house…

I recently wrote a post dedicated to perfecting your home pedicure, and one of the products I featured was this utterly juicy scrub by Barielle. Interested in reading more about Barielle products, here are some summertime tips and tricks from the brand!
Just because it is summer, it doesn’t mean that your usual skincare rules and rituals don’t apply. In fact, summer time is the time to pay extra attention to your skin, as everything from the sun’s harmful rays to drying pool and ocean water can wreak havoc on your skin.
Proper SPF coverage should be at the top of your list this summer. Don’t forget to cover even the hardest-to-reach places, like between your fingers and toes. Barielle’s Ultra Soft Hand Crème SPF 15 provides intense moisture with allantoin and natural botanicals, along with proper SPF protection to block harmful UVA & UVB rays. Re-apply sunscreen often throughout the day to ensure you’re always covered.
The key to smooth summer skin is exfoliation. To eliminate rough, dry skin, incorporate an exfoliating treatment into your bathing ritual, concentrating on elbows, knees, heels, feet and anywhere else that needs special attention. Barielle’s 60 Second Mani-Pedi gently scrubs dead, dry skin away with the exfoliating powers of Dead Sea salts blended with the ultra-hydrating and nourishing properties of Jojoba and essential oils of Grape Seed, Soybean, Avocado, Palm, Sweet Almond, Apricot, Rosemary, Spearmint, Peppermint, Lemon, Orange, and Grapefruit Peel.
Lock in moisture with creams and lotions that quench your skin’s thirst for hydration. After a dip in the pool or ocean, rinse off to remove excess salt water or chlorine—which can actually instigate dry skin. Follow with a rich moisturizer to seal in hydration and leave skin silky smooth, such as Barielle’s Deluxe Hand & Body Lotion, which is enriched with Shea Butter, Mango Seed Butter, Green Tea, Aloe, and Vitamin E.
Uneven skin tone and hyperpigmented spots, commonly called “age spots,” can increase from sun exposure due to the sun’s stimulation of melanin production in your skin. To diminish the appearance of these hyperpigmented spots and also even out skin tone, try a hydroquinone-free cream. Barielle’s Advanced Formula Porcelain Skin Brightening Cream is a safe, effective treatment that evens skin tone and helps fade age spots with essential oils and a multi-fruit complex of Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
