Milani Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows
Monday, March 8th, 2010
If you’re really into fun packaging, you’ll love Milani’s Runway Eyes Fashion Shadows. The unique looking palette contains 6 coordinating shadows with a pearlescent finish. They are easy to blend, and at around just $8 they are a great buy. To make your look last all day we recommend using concealer or foundation on the lids before using eyeshadow.

L’Oreal Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towlettes
Friday, February 26th, 2010
L’Oreal’s Revitalift Radiant Smoothing Wet Cleansing Towlettes are hands down the best face cloths for removing makeup that we’ve ever used. These cloths remove all of your makeup instantly, and we even got great results with waterproof mascara. The cloths also exfoliate your skin and contain nutrients like Vitamin C so your skin is in better condition with every use. This is also a great option if you have sensitive skin and want to remove dead skin but don’t want the irritation that scrubs can leave behind. This is marketed toward women with aging skin, but we recommend this to people of all ages.

WetnWild Ultimate Brow Kit
Wednesday, February 24th, 2010
If you like to keep your eyebrows perfect at all times, you’d really like WetnWild’s Ultimate Brow Kit. Its space saving package contains a mirror, a pair of tweezers, a hard angle brush, 2 brow shadows, and a wax for setting your brows. It’s very compact and won’t hog too much space in your makeup bag. For a natural look, we suggest using the darker shade to draw in fine hairs, and then the lighter shade to fill in sparse brows. We especially liked the wax for taming unruly brows.

CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
The concept of enhancing what you already have is always appealing. So we tried CoverGirl’s Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara. This line of mascara contains light reflecting metallics and a subtle tint that brings out blue, brown, hazel, and green eyes. Although we didn’t see a drastic difference as far as eye color enhancement, we really liked the formula. This mascara has a good balance between lengthening and thickening, and the brush left no clumps behind as promised.

Yves Rocher Fatigue Eraser Cleansing Cloths
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Cleansing cloths are a great compromise between going to bed with makeup on like you’re not supposed to and going through with the cleanse, tone, and moisturize routine. We really liked Yves Rocher’s Fatigue Eraser Cleansing Cloths because not only did they remove our makeup completely, but they also smoothed are fine lines and parentheses. It has a ‘Botanical Anti-Aging Hormone Complex’ and we’re not sure what the exact ingredients are; but we know that it definitely works.

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Hydrating Lotion
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Most people in who have walked through any mall in the United States have probably run into sales pitches from associates at kiosks aggressively selling skincare products containing Dead Sea minerals. These products may be overpriced, but we can’t deny the effectiveness of Dead Sea minerals on the skin. We found a more reasonably priced option at our local drugstore – Yes to Cucumbers Facial Hydrating Lotion. Not only do you get the benefit of Dead Sea minerals, you also get vitamins, proteins, and nutrients from organic green vegetables. If you have sensitive skin you’ll be happy to know that 99.6% of this spring water based lotion’s ingredients are natural, and it’s paraben free. What we loved the most about this lotion was that it was rich enough to transform our dry, dehydrated skin; but it wasn’t greasy at all. Our makeup looked smoother after using this lotion just one time. Yes to Cucumbers is a relatively new product line by Yes to Carrots. For more information, go to www.yestocarrots.com.

Bio-Oil Specialist Skincare
Tuesday, February 16th, 2010
Many celebrities mention that they use olive oil when asked how they have such beautiful skin. We all know that oil can have a transformative effect on skin, but how many of us are willing to put olive oil on our face? Bio-Oil Specialist Skincare is a great way to get the benefits of using oils on your skin without all of the greasiness. After about 5 minutes, your skin absorbs most of the oil, leaving you with a subtle sheen. With Vitamins A&E; calendula, lavender, and rosemary oils; we noticed the difference with the first application. This product can be used on scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. Unfortunately most of us suffer from at least one of those! Although the product is said to be okay for use as a day moisturizer, we preferred to use this at night as an intense treatment.
