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.

John Frieda Full Volume Blow Dryer offers 50% faster drying time with no frizz !

John Freida Blow Dryer

 

Again, probably for the one hundredth time, my blow dryer blew out.  So I was in the market for a new blow dryer.  Totally overwhelmed with all the blow drying appliances on the shelves in the stores, I decided to do some research.  I read in  “Real Simple” magazine, John Frieda Full Volume blow dryer was voted one of The “Best Hair Dryers” in 2014.  This lightweight blow dryer is my favorite.  It is high powered 1875 watts blow dryer with a strong air flow, a lightweight AC motor, and a high voltage advanced ionic generator.  It is easy to control with the 2 speed settings, 3 heat settings and a cold shot button. It comes with two concentrator nozzles and a diffuser, each nozzle is angled to a different degree:  Use one to lift, by directing air at the roots, and the other to dry ends and tame flyaways.  Use the diffuser to make natural looking waves by scrunching and grasping the hair between fingertips while blowing.

John Frieda Full Volume blow dryer has a high voltage ionic generator with more power that generates up to 50% more ions.  This ionizing function generates negative ions, which neutralize positive ions in the air.  The neutralization process flattens and smooths the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and leaving the hair shiny and healthy looking instead of drying the hair out.  This blow dryer has a 50% faster drying time even when using a lower temperature.  Infrared heat works on molecules inside the hair, drying it inside and out.  This fast and easy drying process minimizes heat damage and makes your hair less frizzy and eliminates static electricity.

Powerful lightweight AC motor provides up to 3 times longer life, so I won’t be purchasing another new blow dryer anytime soon!  Even a beginner can manage this lightweight John Frieda Full Volume blow dryer tool and use a style brush in the other hand for a salon-style blow out!   John Frieda Full Volume blow dryer created less frizz which equals increased light reflection and more shine!!!  Worth buying!

John Frieda Hair appliances can be purchased at Ulta, CVS and Best Buy

Choosing a Mother’s Day Gift? Choose Teleflora, she will love it!

unnamed-62

Sending flowers is such a thoughtful gesture. Receiving flower is simply amazing! I received my first Teleflora arrangement last Thanksgiving. The bouquet was gorgeous and served as the centerpiece on our dining room table. I was so impressed with the bouquet that whenever the the need arises, I call Teleflora. My son recently stayed at a friends house during spring break and when he asked what he should bring to his friends parents, I suggested a Teleflora arrangement and he did exactly that. He chose the Country Basket Blooms (shown below) and the recipients couldn’t have been more delighted.

Country Basket Blooms Flowers

Whether it is a Birthday, anniversary,  get well or anytime really, receiving a Teleflora arrangement will brighten anyone’s day. The hardest part about ordering from Teleflora is deciding which arrangement to choose.  Teleflora’s Pink Bliss, Enchanted Garden, Lavender Grace and Butterfly Serenity to name a few (all shown at top) are all spectacular pieces.

unnamed-63

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I can’t think of anything I would rather receive than a Teleflora arrangement. I love the Everything Rosy Arrangement. This unique arrangement, presented in a vintage rose tin includes a bouquet of light pink and hot pink fresh baby roses and ivy. Also tucked into this gift are 3 Citrus Rose scented spa goodies including body wash, hand & body lotion and a deluxe candle. Why not give it a little something extra and add a mylar balloon, stuffed animal or chocolates.

This is a perfect gift to give someone special this Mother’s Day and you have 3 sizes to chose from. All Teleflora arrangements are hand-arranged and delivered by a Teleflorist.

Visit http://www.teleflora.com and order your Teleflora arrangement today! Yes, they do have same day delivery and they have a live chat feature just in case you have any questions about your order.

Mother’s Day will be here soon so order your special Teleflora arrangement today.

It’s Affordable, Be Beautiful With E.L.F Cosmetics

logo

Who here loves makeup as much as me?! I swear I think I am a hoarder when it comes to this crazy collection of mine. I have always loved makeup, ever since I was little and played with my mom’s makeup while she was doing my hair.  When I go shopping I would rather shop for makeup than anything else.  I have almost every line you could possibly imagine placed somewhere in my house.  But out of all the brands I have and all of the ones I have tested, my most definite favorite is E.L.F. Cosmetics! E.L.F, which stands for Eyes, Lips and Face, is a cosmetics company based in NYC that prides itself in selling high quality, animal friendly makeup that is affordable.

I have always believed beauty should be affordable for everyone. Every woman should have the opportunity to feel beautiful inside and out, and with E.L.F every woman has a chance.  The very first day I used E.L.F I was hooked.  I am a color “junkie” meaning playing around eye shadows is my absolute favorite. I guess it’s a good thing I am studying to be a makeup artist  ( I will post some pictures soon) I have experimented with almost every color and with my E.L.F 150 Eye Shadow Palette you really can. That’s right 150 colors! If you’re not a makeup artist or have not worn a lot of makeup in the past, don’t freak out. E.L.F products come equipped with step by step instructions on the back of all their packaging so you can become your own makeup artist.

Not only does E.L.F  carry some of the best eye shadow pigments I have ever seen, they also carry foundations, concealers, makeup brushes, eye brow kits and so much more! I wish I could tell you about every single product E.L.F carries but we would be here forever if I did (just be sure to keep tuning back for more reviews on E.L.F).  In the meantime be sure to check out

www.eyeslipsface.com  for info on all their amazing products, where you can buy it and check out all of their promotions.  I can guarantee one visit to their site and you will be just as hooked as me.
