Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash and Smoothing Scrub

Click Here

Once a week I use the smoothing Facial Scrub to get rid of dry skin. After rinsing, my skin is so smooth. The rice granules are tiny which is preferable from everything I have read because bigger granules in scrubs can actually scrape the skin. The scent includes just a hint of menthol.

I follow the scrub with the Facial Wash. It lathers a smidge and soothes my extremely dry skin.

Both are perfume and dye free-essential for my easily irritated sensitive skin.

Love this combo especially with chilly temperatures ahead.

Shine vs. Matte - You Decide

Redken Wool Shake 08
Is shiny out?! If you say yes, then this is the product for you. You can get volume and texture with Redken's Wool Shake. It gives your hair a different feel and texture rather than the typical smooth and shiny. Hair looks great without looking grungy. Advice: you do NOT need to use a lot, even if you have long hair. A little spray goes a LONG way.


Ouidad Shine Glaze Serum
Dull, drab hair? Not into texture and matte? Give your hair some shine with a little Ouidad Shine Glaze Serum. Not only does it make your hair look healthy and shiny, it also fights frizz! I found out it works best on straight hair. Definitely not sticky or greasy, but a little is all you need for hair that is smooth, sleek, and shiny.

Thymes Essentials Dry Body Oil

Now that summer is officially over, it is time to battle dry skin. Thymes Essentials Dry Body Oil is just the product to do that! As soon as I flipped open the cap, I was in love. The smell was amazing and not too strong. The oil itself is not too oily or greasy. It is light and makes you feel fresh. Your skin with soak it up with pleasure. Perfect to use daily in the winter. Make sure you get some before winter takes over!

Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Set

This online exclusive is well worth the investment. It lasts all day and night, and isn't difficult to apply. I love not having to sharpen a pencil or dealing with powders. This is a great set to complete your makeup collection. The gel glides on easily, doesn't clump, and looks perfect every time. Who doesn't love Bobbi Brown?!

Remington Womens Shaver

Remington
WDF3600 Smooth & Silky® Women's Shaver with Moisturizing Strip Technology

Guys can use electric shavers, why can't we? Well, after several months of testing this handy little tool I now feel qualified enough to give my opinion. The first few tries were rough. It definitely took me a couple of tries to get it right. Either I was pressing too hard or not hard enough. I think I was afraid of cutting myself after so many years with a razor. Once I got the hang of it, it was easy and convenient. I didn't need to lather up, there wasn't razor burn, no missed knees, no cuts. The only drawback is that you have to take it apart and clean it when you are done. So yes, it is convenient and easy but cleaning it is kind of a pain.

Eyeliners - Tarte vs. Mineral Fusion

Tarte smolderEYES
eye defining pencil - bronze

Strong, bold color and smooth application. I am happy to have found a creamy pencil that is accurate and lasts. The best part is that it doesn't glob up or stick funny. Perfect lines every time.

Mineral Fusion
Eye Pencil - Touch
Goes on thin and perfect. Not quite as creamy and smooth as Tarte. Mineral Fusion has more variety of colors. Love the brightness of the color, and the fact that it is made with all natural ingredients.
