GRAY AWAY A Big Miracle in a Small Can

OPRAH has found her favorite 95 products for the holiday season and I have discovered one of mine.  Gray Away is a big miracle in a small can.  The past several years, my hair coloring appointments were every two months, lately, it’s every three weeks.  My busy schedule does not allow for this amount of time to be spent sitting in a salon.  I have utilized other products which have left dye all over the house, or black all over my hands.  Gray Away is simple, just spray, smile and walk away.  My kids were asking when I went to the salon. They didn’t believe I just sprayed my hair with a product and in a second’s time, the gray had vanished.  The next morning, they became firm believers when I took the towel off my wet hair and they saw all the ugly patches of gray reappear.  The children begged me to spray my hair and began their search for Gray Away.  I found the can, sprayed my hair and literally transformed myself to look ten years younger in a minute.   The kids told me to order extra cans in case I run out.  I have never seen them or myself so excited about a product!!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dry, You Couldn’t Ask For a Better Nail Polish

Just like almost every girl, I absolutely love to have painted nails. However, I don’t paint my nails nearly as often as I would like simply because I don’t have the patience to wait for them to dry. It is a rare occasion that I can walk around with a manicure that hasn’t been smudged. Luckily, this problem is long gone! I came across Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color, and it is by far the best nail polish I’ve ever used. My nails were dry in about 2 minutes. And I don’t mean just dry enough to touch my nails lightly, I mean dry enough to go about all my daily activities and not worry about smudging any nail. Not only does it dry in a couple minutes, but the nail polish is thick enough that you only need one coat. The brush is the perfect shape as well. On some of my nails, I was able to cover the whole nail with one brush stroke. As an added bonus, when I took the nail polish off to try a different shade of this amazing nail polish, my nails weren’t yellow. I really don’t know how anyone could ask for a better nail polish.

I found Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Nail Polishes at CVS and Target. To view the available colors of Insta-Dry visit  http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails/nail-color/insta-dri-fast-dry-nail-color

AVON Is Where The Glow Is

Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls was a treat to try. I am always looking for the perfect bronzer, and I was surprised with this one. Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls has cream and bronze colored pearls in a cute jar. Just swirl your blush brush a few times, tap, and apply to your face were the sun would naturally hit.

You will have a perfect summer healthy look, even in the fall or winter. The best thing I found with Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls is that it allows you to add the perfect amount of color without looking TOO bronzed. Ladies, you know what I mean. Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls is a great bronzer! http://shop.avon.com

Paula’s Choice is my Choice for a Cleanser


Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleanser is working fantastic for me. I wear make-up almost every day and Paula’s Choice Cleanser is doing a great job removing all of my make-up. My face feels fresh and clean after washing it every morning and night. Paula’s Choice Cleanser gives off a little foam and rinses off easily without leaving an oily residue. My skin feels very refreshed and soft.  This cleanser is perfect for combination and sensitive skin and is safe to use around your eyes. It is a perfect choice to cleanse your face with!

I also like using a toner after I wash my face. Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Pore Reducing Toner  is another great product.  This toner is great for combination skin, which I have, and keeps oily areas under control.  I usually use the toner at night although you can use it twice a day. I apply the toner with a cotton ball and spread it all over my face. Don’t rinse it off, just let it dry and in a few seconds you will feel your face fresh and you will have smaller pores.

You can find many different products for all skin types at  www.paulaschoice.com

Autumn is Here…Enjoy it With Thymes

Autumn is here, you can smell it in the air. Here in New England, the leaves have already changed colors to beautiful shades of yellow, orange and red, I just love the Fall season. Even after the Fall, I can still capture the aromatic scents that the season has to bring any time of the year.  Thymes  knows the best way to bring those fragrances right into my home all year long. Thymes,  http://www.thymes.com, founded by two childhood friends, has been delighting their customers with their unique and exotic fragrances for over 30 years.

To my delight, Thymes offers the perfect collection to bring the much desired scents of the fall season right into my home and your home too.  Thymes Wildwood Collection is exquisite. Simply satated by Thymes, their Wildwood Collection is “composed of woodland-inspired fragrances. Wildwood captures the deep enchantment of the forest, a hidden reserve dense with life and mystery.”

Thymes Wildwood Collection is available in 9 fragrances, my  favorite fragrance this season is Thymes newest fragrance, Brandied Pumpkin and Chestnut.  I am particularly enjoying this fragrance with their Candles and Home Fragrance Mist.

Thymes Wildwood Brandied Pumpkin & Chestnut Candle is highly Aromatic and  is made from a high quality food grade paraffin wax with wildland inspired fragrances. Not only does it smell sensational, the candle arrived beautifully boxed,  ready for a perfect gift. The aroma brings to mind some fabulous Fall treats like pumpkin pie and spiced hot apple cider.  I love walking into my kitchen or family room and taking in this lovely Fall scent.

I also am delighted with Thymes Home Fragrance Mist by the same name.  In rooms where you don’t want to have a candle burning, one or two sprays of Brandied Pumpkin and Chestnut provide the same great fragrance as a candle.  I enjoy this scent so much so that I am going to add some of Thymes Brandied Pumpkin and Chestnut Pouporrii and a Reed disfusser to my Thymes Wildwood Collection and they are all found at http://www.thymes.com.

Thymes website http://www.thymes.com offers a vast array of gifts from Candles and Home Fragrance Mists to an extensive Bath and Body line with dozens of fragrances to choose from.  Holiday gift giving has never been easier thanks to Thymes.

Discover the Benefits of Red Tea from Lily.B

I have recently discovered the amazing benefits of Red Tea. Not only is red tea a refreshing beverage, I will bet you didn’t know that Red Tea is an amazing antioxidant that can be found in Lily.B Skincare products.

http://www.lilybskincare.com

To give you a brief history of Red Tea as stated by Lily.B Skincare, “Red Tea: (Rooibos), from the mountains of South Africa, is a super antioxidant, possessing some of the most potent, protective vitamins and skin-nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin E, carotenoids, and flavonoids. Red tea has demonstrated cellular protection from damaging free radicals and UV exposure. Skin health, including clarity, tone and texture are visibly improved.”

I especially enjoy using Lily.B Red Tea Defense Booster Hydrating Serum. A “pea-size” amount of this very light, clear and fast drying serum is all you will need for complete coverage. The Serum is used after cleansing and spreads evenly, covering my entire face, giving me a very refreshing feeling. Lily.B Hydrating Serum is especially beneficial in dealing with dry, sun damaged skin. When used consistently,  Lily.B Red Tea Defense Booster Hydrating Serum‘s Red Tea properties will work its magic by improving skin tone and diminishing skin irritations. Lily.B’s Hydrating Serum is a perfect sunscreen when moisturizing and make-up is not on your agenda for that day.

Although not necessary, I prefer the added benefits Lily.B Skincare has to offer by applying 24/7 Daily Moisturizer to my face and neck. 24/7 Daily Moisturizer is more than just an ordinary moisturizer. According to Lily.B Skincare, “Lily.B’s 24/7 defense is infused with three variations of sea algae extracts to help normalize the pH levels in your skin, enhance skin tone and texture, and improve moisture retention.”  24/7 Daily Moisturizer  has extraordinary  hydrating properties helping to soften skin. I have noticed that the softening of my skin has also softened the fine lines and wrinkles, truly amazing.

At http://www.lilybskincare.com you will find other great products like Lily.B Ultra Eye Cream and Lily.B Rose Hip Infused Facial Wash. All of Lily.B Skincare products are dermatologist approved and suitable for all skin types. Lily.B Skincare is also free of skin-irritating chemicals such as, parabens, glycols, sulfates, synthetic colors, and fragrance.

I have been enjoying the benefits of Red Tea and you can too with Lily.B Skincare.  https://www.facebook.com/lilybskincare
