Add Radiance to your skin with beautyADDICTS Face2Face

Unknown-110

I don’t usually use cream foundations because I find them to be heavy on my skin. They also add extra moisture to my skin and that isn’t a very comfortable feeling. I do like loose powders but they don’t provide me with the coverage I need like a liquid or cream foundation does. I have a friend who uses beautyADDICTS cosmetics and suggested that I try their Face2Face Foundation and on her recommendation, I did just that.

I have been using Face2Face Foundation quite a bit since receiving it and I am very pleased with the results. I tested the foundation on the top of my hand first and like that it was very light and dried almost like a powder. The same was true when I applied it to my face. I usually use my fingers as opposed to the sponge and it went on flawlesslessly. I added a bit of face powder to finish the look and was very pleased with the results.

Just the fact that Face2Face Foundation is rich in Vitamins A and E and Green Tea to soothe and protect makes it an even better product for me. It also contains Dermaxyl which helps to smooth and hydrate your skin, and its Advanced Microsphere Technology helps diminish the look of fine lines for a radiant and youthful appearance.

I really couldn’t ask for a better creme foundation than beautyADDICTS Face2Face Foundation.

Add a Touch of Fragrance to Your Mother’s Day

My mother’s birthday is a week before Mother’s Day. I usually send flowers for her birthday and buy her a special gift on Mother’s Day, one that she wouldn’t ordinarily buy for herself. This year it will be a fabulous fragrance, Beyonce’s newest one for 2014,  RISE Beyonce’. I recently read that  RISE Beyonce‘ was  inspired by the works of Beyonce’s favorite poet Maya Angelou which for me, makes it even more special. Of course, I will have to pry RISE Beyonce’ out of my daughter’s hands first because when she tested it at a local department store, she fell in love with it.

Rise Beyonce for women

RISE Beyonce’  is a rich and intoxicating floral scent with beautiful top notes of Italian Bergamot, Golden Apricot and Iced Basil Sorbet,  Luscious middle notes of Gold Symphony Orchid, Freesia Blossom and Natural Jasmine Sambac and sensual bottom notes that include Autumn Woods Accord, Cashmere Musk and Vetiver Extract. If you love woody and florals scents, this fragrance was made for you.

RISE Beyonce’ has an  exquisite and elegant bottle design and it definitely won’t look ordinary resting on m dresser. My girls enjoy everything about Beyonce’ and her newest fragrance certainly did not disappoint them. They love the fragrance as I know my mother will too.

Gift your special someone RISE Beyonce’ for Mother’s Day, she will love it too! RISE Beyonce’ can be purchased at department stores and some Drug stores notionwide.

Jane iredale “Dot the i” cleans up in no time

42-1

I really envy women who wear Mascara flawlessly. I wish I could wear mascara more often but I am extremely mascara challenged and I only use mascara when I absolutely have to. When I apply mascara, it is always a fiasco. I usually end up with mascara dots under my eyes from blinking too soon and mascara on my eyelids from missing my lashes with the brush, I’m very serious. This results in a clean sweep of all eye makeup with eye makeup remover and having to start all over again.

I recently found out that  many of my mascara wearing friends often have the exact same problem as and their eye makeup remover is their best friend. I also found Jane Iredale Dot the i eye makeup remover swabs and my recent mascara application was much more successful than the last time. Jane Iredale Dot the i is now my best friend.

Jane Iredale Dot the i eye makeup remover swabs are ingenious. These 100% cotton swabs are individually wrapped and filled with pre-measured botanical and organic extract. Cucumber fruit extract, algae extract and aloe leaf extract combined, help calm and condition and hydrate your skin while removving your eye makeup. Dot the i  is alcohol free and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers like myself.

They are so easy to use, simply bend the swab at the blue line, and the botanical liquid automatically fills the swab and you can dab and erase your makeup mistakes like magic. Dot the i is amazing and I suggest carrying some swabs in your purse and travel bags. There is no need for cotton balls or cotton pads to erase tiny and delicate eye makeup mistakes.

With Dot the i eye makeup remover pads, mascara applications are no longer a fiasco, they are Amazing.

Jane Iredale Dot the i are available at http://shop.janeiredale.com/

Shaving is a Dream with Somersets

Somersets

Somersets

I was first introduced to Somersets Shave Oil by my husband. The first time he used their shave oils, he was quite impressed. You can imagine how happy I was to find that Somersets carries a women’s line and one of Somersets best selling oil is Somersets Women’s Extra Sensitive Shaving Oil.

Somersets believes that it is very important to prepare your skin before shaving as to avoid razor burn and nicks while shaving. These shaving problems can result in red, rashy, bumpy and uncomfortable skin for quite some time so it only makes sense to avoid these shaving issues at all costs. The reason why Somersets works so well is that they are formulated with 100% natural plant oils like lavender, rosemary and tree tea and the oils smell fabulous.

Somersets Shaving Oil for women is definitely worth trying and once you do, you may never go back to your old shave gels and foams. Just smooth on 4 or 5 drops of the oil on your legs and underarms and the oils soften your skin which makes the shaving process so easy. The oils not only moisturize your skin but  you will feel the silky softness of your skin after you shave, so say good-bye to the rough dry patches. With Somersets, you can shave without water if you have to “shave on the go”. I like the fact that you can see what you are shaving because the oil is clear.

Somersets has also developed an oil for extra delicate skin to apply around the bikini area. Somersets delicate oils lubricate you skin and blade for a closer, smoother shave. Somersets promises “No more painful waxing or bumps after shaving. It’s not about the blade. Somersets 100% Natural Delicate Bikini Shaving Oil prepares the skin for the shave, eliminating ingrown hairs and serving as a soothing shaving bumps treatment. “

Somersets bullet shaped little bottles are tiny which make it convenient for travel. Somersets natural ingredients include: Hybrid vegetable Oil, Menthol , Fragrance, Aloe Vera, French Lavender Oil , Sandalwood Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Safflower Oil, Grapefruit OIl, Tea Tree Oil, Corianda Oil, Palmarosa Oil, Rosemary Oil, Ylang Ylang, Chilean Rosehip Seed Oil.

Shaving is a dream with Somersets. You will find Somersets shave oils, gels, face washes and scrubs at somersets.com

It’s all about the eyes and HydroPeptide

HydroPeptide-Logo

When I look in the mirror, the last thing I want t see is the person looking back at me sporting puffy eyes and dark circles. The look doesn’t only make you look tired but the look also makes you feel tired, trust me, I know. I’ve tried many eye creams and like the old saying goes, “some work, some don’t”.  HydroPeptide Eye Authority works! I’ve been using this amazing eye cream (a pea size amount covers both eyes) both night and day for a few weeks now and I can visibly see much improvement in the puffiness and my dark circles around my eyes.

HydroPeptide Eye Authority is designed to tackle, puffiness, dark circles and minimize fine lines. It is formulated with 13 peptides, crushed pearls and hyaluronic acid. These key elements brighten dark circles and minimize fine lines and wrinkles and also eliminates puffiness.

AZ014-hydropeptide-eye-authority

Another great feature about HydroPeptide Eye Authority, which got me to get a few of my friends to try it is that it is FREE OF Gluten, Parabens, Fragrances, Phenoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, pthalates and sulfates. So basically, HydroPeptide has eliminated all the chemicals and has produced a brilliant eye cream.

HydroPeptide Eye Authority has other skin benefits like improving skin firmness and restoring elasticity. The eye cream also hydrates your skin without that heavy oily feeling some eye creams have whle helping to improve texture and tone. HydroPeptide Eye Authority is a very lightweight cream which I use at night after cleansing and in the morning before applying moisturizer and/or make-up. I love it!

The next time you look in the mirror and you notice dark circles, eye puffiness and unwanted fine lines, it’s time to try HydroPeptide Eye Authority. www.hydropeptide.com.
