L’Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream


Wednesday, February 28th, 2007

Item#: #469527
Color: birch
Size : 5.2 oz
Unit price : $25
Item # : 004562
A super-smoothing–and best-selling–synergy of 20% Shea Butter, honey and sweet almond extract, blended with the light and alluring aromas of jasmine and ylang-ylang essences. Texturally pleasing balm glides on and absorbs to help heal and protect dry or dehydrated skin. Anti-oxidizing vitamin E helps nourish. Invites even the most hard-working hands to a fresh beginning.
L’Occitane is one line I’ve tried very hard to like but haven’t had much luck with. Till I find the hand cream. I have tried a lot of hand creams and this is my favorite one. I want to get something that can moisturize well and fast obsorbing. This one has it both. Don’t like the fiddly lid but the tube design (aluminium) is great coz it makes it easier to get the last little bits out. plus the thick consistency makes it easy for me to squeeze some in small jars to carry with me (unlike runny hand lotions). The large size (5.2 oz) last about 3-4 months or longer in the summer.
One side benifit: My 3-yr old daughter has eczema on her legs. We have tried so many things…both prescription and over-the-counter. My hubby brought home a sample of this and same brand 100% shea butter for me and I decided just to try it on her legs. Eczema was almost gone the next day. Very pricey, but it’s worth it to have my dd’s soft legs back!

Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask from Beauty.com


Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

Size: 3.4 fl oz (100 ml)
Price: $52
The Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask is the quickest pick-me-up for skin, a mini triple oxygen facial.
A ‘take-out’ version of bliss spa’s most famous facial, the Triple Oxygen Treatment (a favorite of so many stunningly skinned celebs, we wouldn’t want to dull you with the details). At home, once, twice, or for the obsessive even thrice a week, this flash-action mask will deliver a shot of oxygen, a dose of a powerhouse form of Vitamin C, a smattering of anti-free radicals, and a moisture fix, to instantly spiff up your skin when you find it looking a little ‘low’ life.
With vitamin C, fluid O2, NaPCA, and EUK-134 free-radical resisters.
A super-quick-fix for dull, tired, sallow, ‘I’m sick of my’ skin. Engineered to mimic the effects of our spa’s famous triple oxygen? (but in seconds), this fabulous new complexion brightening formula uses every ‘tech’ in the book to work to furnish you with a fresher, younger-looking face.
Wngineered as a stand-in for our spas’ world famous triple oxygen facial treatment, releases oxygen molecules and detoxifiers, a super-quick-fix for dull, tired, sallow skin.
I love using this. By Using it every other day (sort of following it’s 3x per week recommendation), my acne has actually cleared such that only the occasional small blemish appears. I am really suprised this product is a 100% what it says on its description. I had previously tried MANY things, and some tough acne, the painful kind, and still got through regularly. This would hyper pigment my skin for months, adding to the existing acne. Now my skin’s appearance is definitely much better. The container is large and the price is acceptable.

BIOTHERM Aquasource Moisturizing Balm Protective Lip Care Shiny Effect SPF 8


Sunday, February 18th, 2007

SHADE/SIZE: 0.5 oz./ 15ml
Price: $14.50
An intensely hydrating balm for smoother, perfectly moisturized and better protected lips. This gentle lip treatment is a delicate, pink balm with the luscious, fruity scent of peach. Provides SPF 8 UV protection.
This id a great overall moisturizing lip balm with sunscreen. At first I didn’t realize there was actually a scent, but I did feel that after putting on the balm, I would taste some fruitiness on my teeth. I kinda like the flavour. It softens the lips and makes them shiny, glossy. Not too sticky. The pink packaging is cute. It moisturizes quite well and I like how it isn’t too glossy. The price is reasonable for such a product. Good for everyday use. This is my favorite lip balm besides Dr. Hauschka’s in pot form. It isn’t as healing as Dr. Hauschka’s but rather preventive. The tube form is very convenient. I like using Dr. Hauschka’s before I go to bed or in harsh winter to heal any dryness, and Biotherm’s during the day to prevent and protect. I use Hauschka’s when I want to wear lipstick too. This feels nice (unlike Smith’s which is too slippery) and stays on which means I don’t need to reapply often (thank goodness at this price!). The SPF8 is better than none too :-)

Best of Sephora 2006: Bare Escentuals BareMinerals Foundation


Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Price: $25
12 Colors to Choose from.
Made of only pure, crushed minerals from the earth, i.d. bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation looks like a powder, feels like a cream and buffs on like silk, giving skin a natural luminosity, and feels as if you are not wearing any makeup at all. The coverage is flawless, free of preservatives, talc, oil, waxes, fragrances, and other chemicals that can irritate skin and cause breakouts.
To use: For flawless coverage, apply i.d bareMinerals Foundation following the three simple steps below:
1.SWIRL a small amount of bareMinerals in the lid with the Flawless Application Face Brush into the lid until all the bareMinerals are tucked into the bristles.
2. TAP away excess. There should be no visible bareMinerals on the outside of the brush.
3. BUFF the bareMinerals into the skin in a circular motion, starting on the outside of your face near your cheekbone, swirling as you go. Buff around your face and then approach your forehead, cheeks, and nose. Buff, buff, buff until you are satisfied with the coverage.
Remember less is more when applying i.d. bareMinerals SPF 15 Foundation.
I was ecstatic when I first discovered this line of cosmetics: all natural-great coverage-and GOOD for your skin?!?! I was like Homer Simpson- how much and give it to me!! hehehe…This is the first MMU I have ever used and I can honestly say it did wonders for my complextion. Ever since I statred using their products my skin hasn’t broke out once. It also gives me a nice even coverage with a subtle natural look. I’ve been using this for a year and I am still love it. It doesn’t clog my skin like other foundations. If you have pretty uneven, splotchy skin or other imperfections this product will NOT give you great coverage. It provides more coverage than powder but not much, so if you are looking for that flawless look I would NOT recommend this. Looks very natural and I’ve been told several times that my skin looks fresh and glowing. Never heard that before! Wears well throughout the day and doesn’t get orange-y on my oily face. My suggestions are: Don’t overdo it ot you’ll just end up looking chalky, swirl/buff your face thoroughly, and clean your brushes often.
