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.

Yves Rocher Brush-on Illuminator
Monday, February 8th, 2010
While we’re thankful that we can use foundation to cover up our imperfections, we were searching for something that would cover and help our skin at the same time. We love Yves Rocher’s Brush-on Illuminator. This foundation gives a natural, radiant finish. It contains almond oil to smooth the skin, apricot oil to hydrate, and cornflower water to soften. The retractable brush allows for easy application. We recommend this for women who like a natural look, this product gives light to medium coverage

Wetnwild MegaEyes Defining Marker
Friday, February 5th, 2010
Some makeup artists say that the true purpose of eyeliner is to make your eyelashes look thicker – so the actual lines shouldn’t be visible. For those who subscribe to this belief and want a nice clean line on their lashes, the Wetnwild MegaEyes Defining Marker is an eye liner that easily makes neat, natural lines. The formula is a nice hybrid of a regular eyeliner and liquid. As a shortcut to a perfect look we liked applying this liner on first, and then putting on our shadow afterward.

Wetnwild Lash Intense Mascara
Thursday, February 4th, 2010
It just goes to show that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get a great mascara. Our latest recessionista find is Wetnwild’s Lash Intense Mascara. The mascara brush is very unique; it’s made of rubber with tiny nubs. We were doubtful that we would get results from this strange looking brush, but we were quickly proven wrong. The formula gives excellent volume, and the brush highlighted smaller lashes that we didn’t even know were there.

L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Moisturizer
Friday, January 29th, 2010
The world is your oyster when you go into the drug store looking for a moisturizer for dry skin. However, if you want a fantastic moisturizer that won’t leave your skin greasy and won’t dissolve your makeup, it’s a hard search. We like the new L’Oreal Skin Genesis Multi-Layer Cell Strengthening Moisturizer. They have a lot of technology and research behind it; but the end result is that the moisturizer is absorbed right into your skin when you put it on, leaving your face perfectly primed for foundation. This moisturizer is said to soften fine lines, brighten skin, and minimize pores. We found that it did the best job at pore minimizing. The bonus? This moisturizer also has an SPF of 15.

Shady Kiss Lip Balm
Thursday, January 28th, 2010
In the winter months, most people are more concerned about cracked lips than UV rays. But sun protection is just as important as moisture for healthy lips the entire year. Shady Kiss is a company dedicated to providing convenient ways to apply sunscreen. Not only does their lip balm contain an SPF of 30, Vitamins A and E, and Aloe Vera; it’s organic. With it being so cold outside it’s easy to get tired of lip balm flavors after applying it for the umpteenth time for the day, so we liked that Shady Kiss Lip Balm is flavorless. The bonus? It’s also paraben free.

Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadow
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010
Did you know that more than 90% of age-related changes to the face is cause by sun exposure? Since many of us show the most signs of age around the eye area, we were excited to see that Neutrogena has come out with an eyeshadow quad that actually has a SPF in it. Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad Shadows not only contain a SPF of 15, but they also have vitamins, silk, and soy to condition eyelids. These quads are color coordinated, and even come with a label over each to show you where to put each color. For an everyday look, we recommend the Sea Shell 40 Quad, which has neutral tones that would work on most skin tones.
