CoverGirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers

December 23rd, 2009

Lip gloss never tasted so good! We tried Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzer in Plum Splash and liked the subtle fruit flavor. This gloss is fun but effective; it contains botanicals that improve lip condition over time.

Zapzyt Acne Wash

December 22nd, 2009

When visiting the skin care aisle any drug store, you’ll see that you have to choose between mild cleansers and harsh products for acne. We were on the hunt for something that would destroy acne, but not our skin in the process, and came across Zapzyt Acne Wash.
Zapzyt is a line of products geared toward eliminating acne (hence the name), and they are so confident about their product that they offer a money back guarantee. We were excited to see that Zapzyt Acne Wash contains skin soothing ingredients like aloe and chamomile. Using cleansers with salicylic acid on a daily basis can take a toll on those of us with sensitive skin…but we found that we were able to keep using it without any irritation.
Zapzyt products are available at about every drug store in the nation, if you’d like to give it a try check out http://zapzyt.com/products/ to get a coupon for $2.00 of any Zapzyt product.

Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion

December 21st, 2009

The effort you have to make to get a bit of color without making yourself vulnerable to skin cancer can be daunting. You need to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before heading outside, and then apply sunscreen every 2 hours to be protected. A great alternative is Neutrogena Sun Fresh Sunless Lotion. While we admit that this won’t give the dramatic results of a spray tan, we appreciated that it didn’t turn us that orange muppet color that some lotions are guilty of. Sun Fresh Sunless lotion also has a grapefruit nectarine fragrance, which is refreshing to those who can’t stand the smell of self-tanner.

Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor

December 19th, 2009

We all know by now that sunscreen is a must, but many people are unaware of just how much to apply. You need about a teaspoon for your face, and a shot glass for your body. It’s a lot of rubbing in, but it’s necessary to get the coverage you need. And don’t forget to protect your lips. We like Maybelline Moisture Extreme Lipcolor. It has an SPF of 15, and with 56 shades every woman is bound to find her perfect color. It also moisturizes like a lip balm, so you don’t have to worry about the heat parching your lips.

Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow

December 18th, 2009

When you’re tired, adding a touch of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner of the eyes can make you look refreshed. A golden color is great for darker complexions, and for pale complexions try a silvery shade. We really liked the 50 Sunlit Bronze Maybelline Expertwear Eye Shadow Quad for the summer. Each shadow is marked with the best part of the eye to apply the colors. Best of all, it’s crease and fade resistant, a must in this hot weather.

We all have a favorite beauty tip … maybe it is something passed on from your mom or your best friend. Or, maybe you are a professional makeup artist. Please share your BEST beauty tip with all us beauty-addicts.

Here is our favorite tip this week:

Have chronically dry winter skin? For times when just lotion isn’t enough, try putting a moisturizing gel, such as Johnson’s Baby Oil gel on TOP of your regular lotion.

Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolor

December 16th, 2009

We were first drawn to Maybelline Shine Seduction Glossy Lipcolor by the slick modern packaging and unique applicator tip. However, we were pleased to see that what’s inside is just as great. We tried this 2007 Best of Beauty Award winning lip gloss in shade 720 Sunkissed. It’s a universally flattering bronze color that goes on sheer, while the formula’s aqua botanicals and Vitamin E helps keep lips smooth. Another bonus is that the gloss is light weight and non sticky.
