AcneFree Therapeutic Sulfur Mask
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
Anyone who has ever suffered from serious acne knows that it is ALWAYS a big deal. Most people will pay anything to fix it. On the expensive side, you can Isolaz deep pore laser therapy from your dermatologist, or cortisone injections. If you’re on a budget but are looking for the real deal, we suggest University Medical’s AcneFree line. It actually works! We really like their Therapeutic Sulfur Mask. It turns light blue when it’s time to rinse off so you won’t be tempted to overdo it, and you only have to leave it on for about 13 minutes. We recommend this for anyone with serious acne.

CoverGirl Continuous Color Lipstick
Friday, July 16th, 2010
Long wear lipsticks are traditionally drying, despite the fact that they all claim they are not. CoverGirl’s Continuous Color Lipstick lasts for hours, but it actually leaves your lips in better condition! We tried it for work and waited for the inevitable parched feeling but it never came – the lipstick lasted a full day at work. It’s no wonder; this lipstick is 50% moisturizers, including Vitamin E and Vitamin A. If you’re looking for a nice red matte lipstick, try their Really Red shade 575.

CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Shadow
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
If you have some extra time to play with different makeup looks, try CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Shadows. They have a collection of shadows for each eye color family – blues, greens, browns, and hazels. When we saw the palette for brown eyes, which includes gold, black, cream and silver, we though it would be a disaster. But when we followed the instructions, the colors actually did look very pretty together! We really liked the soft bristle brush that comes with the shadow, you get more professional looking results.
Tip: To stop your eye shadow from flaking on your cheeks when you apply it, reverse your makeup routine. Put your eyeshadow on first, then be sure to brush off misplaced eyeshadow before apply foundation and concealer.

Revlon Pedi-Expert Shower Pedicure Kit
Thursday, July 8th, 2010
We have to admit, we were expecting to be unimpressed with Revlon’s Pedi-Expert Shower Pedicure Kit. Many exfoliating stones (both natural and synthetic) may work to eliminate dead skin, but leave your feet feeling rough. We were pleasantly surprised after using Revlon’s Pedi-Expert Shower Pedicure Kit. After one use, our feet were amazingly smooth. In the kit, you get a soft brush to exfoliate and clean your feet, a contoured stone to remove dead skin, and a cuticle pusher. The unit easily fits in your hand, and you can stack the brush on top of it (saving you valuable shower real estate). Hands down this is our favorite pedicure product we’ve tried to date.

Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Serum
Friday, June 25th, 2010
It’s hard to believe that dimpled, orange peel skin can be improved by a mere cream. So why are there so many products out there? Dehydrated skin is generally thinner, making fat pockets even more noticeable. In a quest for bikini ready skin, we tried Nivea’s Good-Bye Cellulite Serum. This product claims to improve the appearance of cellulite in ten days. On the first try, we loved the scent and the texture. It was fast absorbing and light, and smoothed our skin instantly. After 10 days, lo and behold there was a difference! Not only did there seem to be less cellulite, but there was a general improvement in the texture of our skin. The active ingredients, Lotus Extract and L-Carnitine did the job. The downside is that when you stop using it, the cellulite gradually comes back – is no permanent fix. If you want a more permanent effect, body brushing, regular exercise, and staying hydrating can help fight cellulite.

Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals Powder Foundation
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
There is no question that mineral makeup is loved by all, and Wet n Wild has made mineral makeup more affordable than ever before. Their Ultimate Minerals Powder Foundation, priced at around $5, has a luxurious texture. What we loved the most about it is that although it’s a powder, you can get full coverage. You can layer the powder to get more coverage without getting cakey. However, for very oily skin we found that their Natural Blend Pressed Powder is more effective at combating oil.
