10 Reasons Why I Am Obsessed With DDF Clarifying Hydrator

0

As some of you might be aware, I have a bunch of incredible interns who work for me (at my other job, not at blogging!)…and from time to time they come up with product recommendations that should get ‘out there’.  Christy Savery, who is a Bentley College business student, talked about a product so much that I asked her if we could write about it. She’s 22 years old, and she has – you know – like – actually still got oil on her skin (unlike me who hasn’t had oily skin since, like, I don’t know, my last pregnancy (and my youngest is 11). So without having to do the math on my age, you get it!
Anyway, the product that Christy wanted me to pass on to you is called DDF Clarifying Hydrator. Here are the reasons why, as she says, ‘I am obsessed with DDF!”

  1. Minimizes the look of sebum build up— sebum:  microscopic glands in the skin that secrete an oily/waxy matter, called sebum, to lubricate and waterproof the skin—this makes it a great product for people with acne-prone skin

  2. Controls the oily shine

  3. Keeps my skin looking clear all day long

  4. Makes my skin feel extremely soft

  5. They had it at Marshall’s for only 15, originally $42

  6. Clears up my skin and makes my pores look smaller

  7. It doesn’t feel like it sits on my skin, really hydrates

  8. Great under foundation or cochlear because it’s not thick consistency

  9. Gentle to the skin

  10. Includes ingredients like: aloe vera, marigold and ginger extract, witch hazel and glycerin.

If you are on the younger side, and you struggle with oily skin on a regular basis, you should go and find this fabulous product. Christy happened upon it in a Marshall’s – so her next challenge will be to find it at a reasonable price.  And if you have grown kids or teenagers, it might be a nice little gift to give them!

Dana Loia, the mastermind, classically-trained pastry chef behind these tiny delicacies fell in love with the famous French macaron for its simple beauty and unique texture, but was surprised by the lack of variety in flavors. She decided to make a change to this, which is when this mouthwatering bakery came about. What makes Dana’s Bakery so unique is there focus on, infusing French techniques with all-American flavors for an original line of macarons, other bakeries don’t have to offer.

göt2b oil-licious styling oil

I love the Got2b brand! They have never disappointed me with any of their products. They work great on my hair and they are very affordable. I religiously use their shampoo and conditioner, so I decided I should try out some of their other hair products I decided on the Got2be Oil-licious Styling Oil and Got2b Dry Shampoo and they did not disappoint!

Oil-licious Styling Oil has all of the essential oils for hair– argan, white grape, and marula. A combo which is great because it tames my outrageous hair. I use the oil after I shower while my hair is still damp. It turns my big, frizzy hair into glossy, sleek, curls.

göt2b rocking'it dry shampoo

The Got2b rockin’ it encore fresh Dry Shampoo has been a lifesaver! I can’t believe I have lived so long without this product! I have tried other dry shampoos and many leave residue in your hair, but not Got2b’s rockin’ it encore fresh Dry Shampoo! I simply spray the mist into my hair and rub it into my scalp and my hair looks like it has just been washed. Plus it smells great. This is a miracle product for me! It saves me so much time.

Choose your color and “Pencil Me In”

 

 

I was very excited to finally have an eyeliner meeting all my needs. The past twenty years, I have been on an active search for an eye-liner that does not make me look like a racoon at the end of the day. Many eye-liners look beautiful at the lighted make-up counters in the mall, however, very few deliver results at the end of the day. Pencil Me eye-liners are inexpensive, glides on without tugging and pulling your eye and are creamy but still smooth. The Me pencils have thirty beautiful shades to choose from, the frosted shades of blue and green to the metallic bronze. The eyeliners were not only beautiful but had many added features making other eye-liners pale in comparison. I never have a sharpener available when my penicl breaks or becomes dull, these pencils have the pencil sharpener built in it. The pencils are infused with vitamins and anti-oxidants helping to protect your  eyes from pollution in the environment. I will definitely be purchasing all thirty shades of this silky,  smooth, long-lasting pencil.

I can not live without my St. Ives

images-1

It’s a Glam Thing Guest Blogger, Rachel Aiello, just can’t live without her St. Ives Body Wash. She says. “I must have St. Ives Purifying Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Wash in my shower caddy. After every use my skin is always soft and never dry. Plus, it is the only body wash that I truly trust because I know that it is, paraben an phthalate-free, dermatologist-tested, AND hypoallergenic. You really can’t not go wrong using this body wash. The formula of the body wash contains 100 % natural ingredients such as mineral salt, glycerin, and pacific sea kelp extract to help exfoliate the skin while moisturizing it. And unlike most natural or organic bath products, St. Ives Purifying Sea Salt Exfoliating Body Wash is only $2.99 for a 13.5 oz bottle and $4.89 for a 24 oz bottle! So cheap! I highly recommend trying it out!”

If you don’t need an exfoliant, why not cleanse and moisturize with St. Ives Cucumber Melon Body Wash? After washing with Cucumber Melon, your skin will immediately feel soft and will smell fantastic. Imagine, cleansing with the crisp scent of cucumber melon surronding you, I can’t even describe the aroma, you really have to try this one yourself.

St. Ives carries an incredible line of affordable skincare ranging from exfoliants, body washes, facial products and hand and body lotions to name a few. You can view them all at http://www.stives.com/
