I read about V Beaute before trying & thought "Oh great, another hedge-fund-manager/socialite using her money and connections to make people buy whatever crap she has other people making for her. Super, I love giving my money to people who don't get out of bed for under a million."
Yes, I'm slightly bitter about not being a millionaire-socialite. I would even make do without the socialite-part.

After trying the V Beaute line, however, I am impressed.
Very impressed.

Fragrance free! Paraben free! Products that work without irritating my skin!

I use the Undercover Agent before sunblock in the morning; then one of the face washes, the Light Up, the Eye Never, and finish with the Buying time at night. Tightens & brightens, makes my skin happy.

Can't argue with results-- this chick (V Beaute creator Julie Macklowe) has done the work & come up with something great. Expensive and lux, but you'll have your face for the rest of your life-- might as well treat it right.

Cures To Go - Sensitive

Perfect for irritated, sensitive and rosacea-ridden skin, this trio (serum not included) will work wonders. I've been using the cleansing milk and protective day creme for weeks now and I like them a lot. The milk is soothing with a barely-there soft scent and the the creme is thick-a little goes a long way. I plan on using the mask soon. I'll update this post after but so far I really like these products.

Wei East Pomegranate Anti-Oxidant Exfoliating Grains

Individual Packets of Grains you can add to your face wash & make any cleanser an exfoliator?
Yes, please!

I love that the process makes it feel like a mad science experiment, and I am all about the results.
Clearer, smoother skin.
Great for traveling as well.

Yes To... Towlettes

Just look at the awards the Yes To... brand is collecting. I've tried both of these towelettes and loved them. Why? Because they don't leave my skin tight and dry. Between the age refresh blueberries and the soothing cucumber, I love love love this line. The adorable packaging and pleasantly subtle fragrances don't hurt either. I'm saying yes to all things Yes To.

MyChelle Apple Brightening System

Apple Brightening CleanserApple Brightening PeelApple Brightening Serum
Apples, not just for snacking anymore!
Use this trio to fight and correct hyper-pigmentation.
Gentle, even the peel.
It does take time, but the long-term payoff is excellent.
Substantially faded the odd parenthesis-shaped dark spots around my temples.

Will be trying the whole Age Spot / UV Recovery Regimen
Complete Regimen/UV Repair set next, it comes with an SPF 28 cream, super-hydrating cream, and an Apple Brightening Mist. I do love a Brightening Mist!
What really sold me on this was the peel, works without feeling like I'm taking off my face. If you are going to start somewhere, the peel is my recommendation.

Wash:Be. Fine--Gentle Cleanser

Be. Fine Gentle Cleanser
I am VERY stressed right now.
Couldn't even begin to explain feelings.
However, skin is clear.
This cleanser works!
Very light, minty-smelling, but not like you are washing your face with toothpaste.
Only need a little bit, rinses well.
I like it very much!!!
Added bonuses (bonusi?): Cruelty free, and the Web site is great (www.befine.com)

Cleanser: Herban Essentials--Towelettes

Herban Essentials
Lemon Towelettes
Real lemon! Not fake scent. Super nice.
Big, thick, cloth-like.
I felt clean after using, which is saying a lot, as I had just deboarded a nasty, germy plane.



Peppermint Towelettes
Holy sting! I never thought it was possible, but there is WAY to much peppermint going on here! IT BURNS!!! It was mostly the strength of the smell, but a couple of minutes after using, my skin hurt. I am almost afraid to try any more, but I did love the lemon...
