PCA Skin Pigment Bar – pHaze 13

PCA Skin Pigment Bar – pHaze 13 ($28 USD) — A cleansing, anti-hyperpigmentation bar for skin suffering from discoloration.

Pigment Bar is the cleansing companion in PCA’s pigment control program, designed to enhance and maintain the complexion-refining results produced by its sister products. pHaze 13 Pigment Bar helps control blemish outbreaks and discolorations as it cleanses the skin of dirt and debris. For pigment control maintenance, use two to three times weekly.

This is such an easy way to clean skin.  It comes with three flat sponges that expand once wet.  The jar contains a black solid (the bar).  To use I wet the sponge and rub it on the bar for lather.  I then wash my face with the sponge.  It cleans without drying out my skin.  I haven’t noticed any lightening of sun spots yet, but for a daily fash soap it works great!

Algenist Pore Corrector Anti-Aging Primer

Algenist Pore Corrector Anti-Aging Primer ($42 USD) – With an advanced formulation that combines Alguronic Acid with 7 additional active ingredients, the Pore Corrector Anti-Aging Primer creates a satin-soft finish for long-lasting makeup application. Delivering more than your average primer, this formula also visibly refines pores, blurs fine lines and improves skin’s texture and tone, just in time to highlight that summer glow.

Currently this is my favorite primer.  It instantly evens out my skin and blurs the appearance of my pores. It also smooths my skin and prepares it for foundation or bb cream.

Available at Sephora, Sephora.com and Algenist.com

MitoQ

MitoQ ($185 USD) is considered to be the most potent antioxidant on the market to date and is proven to be 1000 times stronger than CoQ, a molecule used in many anti-aging products. MitoQ is the only topical cream that can deliver ubiquinone to mitochondria at levels shown to have an immense effect inrejuvenating the cells, encouraging the natural production of collagen and elastin and leaving skin looking radiant with a lit-from-within glow.

I have been using MitoQ for a few weeks now and noticed improvements in my skin almost instantly.  My skin looks so much better.  It is less blotchy, more even and I don’t see any fines lines or wrinkles around my eyes.  And my skin does glow!

Orico Streetwise Oxygenating Day Cream

Orico Streetwise Oxygenating Day Cream ($42 USD) –Breathe new life into the skin. Streetwise Oxygenating Day Cream contains a clinical bioactive proven to help optimize cell respiration whilst smoothing, rejuvenating and protecting skin against daily urban pollution. This daily moisturizer with all-natural antioxidants Macadamia and Argan oil helps to reduce wrinkles, restore moisture levels, firmness and skin radiance.

As I get older, my skin becomes more sensitive.  I love advanced anti-aging skincare like this that is also for sensitive skin.  This is very moisturizing and gentle without being greasy or oily.

I love using self tanner (post to come), so in the summer I don’t cake on the makeup.  So bronzer, great waterproof eye makeup and bright lips and eyes are the perfect products for an easy look.

I am so lucky to have been sent lots of fabulous makeup products for my honest opinion.  I have a lot to review, and here are some great ones:

ck one summer limited edition color capsule

ck one summer limited edition explores the colorful world under the sea and transforms its
tropical hues into a vivid palette of summer shades.

the lineup includes:

ck one summer limited edition powder bronzer compact in shade 400 sandbar ($25 USD)

ck one summer limited edition long wear + shine nail color ($14 each) scented with ck one summer fragrance
in shades 500 riptide (shimmery aqua) and 610 current (bright green creme).  Once dry, they smell fantastic!

ck one summer limited edition long wear cream eyeshadow tubes in shades 400 surge (bright turquoise), 500
reef (vivid green), and 720 dune (sandy beige) ($18 each).

I have been testing the nail polish in riptide and the cream eyeshadow in reef and dune.  The polish is crazy-pretty and smells great after it dries.  The eyeshadow in reef is a bit to bright for me, but I LOVE dune.  It is bronzy summer in a tube and lasts a long time on.

You can purchase these at Ulta stores and www.ulta.com.

Summer 2013 Aqualillies for tarte limited-edition collection is so cool!  Inspired by America’s most glamorous synchronized swimming group, the Aqualillies, this limited-edition collection includes seven splashproof products.

For additional information, check out the Aqualillies for tarte collaboration on tarte’s YouTube channel.

I have been testing the finishing powder, the lipstick and the eyeliners.  The finishing powder is so good!  Use a fluffy powder brush to buff it over foundation or bb cream.  It sets your makeup and blurs the look of fine lines and pores.

The lipstick is gorgeous, but way to bright for me.  I gave it to my teenage daughter and it is so pretty on her.

The eyeliners last FOREVER on.  But the brush takes me a bit to get the hang of, and you only have a few minutes play until it is set and totally waterproof.  Perfect for the pool!

Laura Mercier Folklore Collection — Laura Mercier’s inspiration for this collection stems from Aztec influences and fantastical rituals, colours in this collection are reminiscent of ancient symbols and artifacts, textiles and jewelry. When conceptualizing the collection, Laura envisioned the spirit of earth and fire infused into an illuminating new mosaic of colour. The products create a naturally bronzed look, with fiery shades that are perfect for day and night.

Products in the photo above are:

Crème Eye Liner ($22 USD) — An ultra-smooth, water-proof creamy eye liner that applies with the ease and smooth silky finish of a gel and the precision of a liquid liner. Smudge and transfer-resistant, this long-wearing formula goes on “foolproof” with the Laura Mercier Angled Eye Liner Brush.  New colors are Canard (teal) and Cobalt (Vibrant Mid-Tone Blue).

Lip Crayon ($22 USD) A smooth lip colour that provides pure, long-wearing colour to lips in three on-trend shades for summer. With a convenient purse-friendly package, Lip Crayon never needs sharpening, making it perfect for travel and touch-ups on the go. The colors are Folklore (fuchsia), Mayan Sun (orange pink), and Burnt Clay (deep brown).

Baked Blush Bronze ($36 USD) — Laura Mercier Baked Blush Bronze is a baked powder with five complimentary shades that together provide the perfect, natural colour for cheeks and face. Each tile is hand-mixed with a unique design. The color is called Ritual and it is a warm bronze.

Illuminating Eye Colour (24 USD) — Eye colour with a multi-dimensional, luminous pearl finish with a soft, bouncy texture for excellent colour pay-off and a smooth, even application. The shades are Fire Glow (copper shimmer), Sun Glow (gold with shimmer) and Earth Glow (deep brown).

Faux Lash Mascara ($24 USD) — Give real lashes extreme volume and length for intense exaggeration and drama. The formula is extra-smooth, glossy and good-for-lashes, created with a blend of waxes and absolutely no fibers. Build rich, exaggerated lashes that are extraordinarily thick, super-shiny and conditioned.  The new color is Sierra Brown.

I have been trying the eye shadows.  I LOVE them.  So pretty.  I like to wear Sun Glow for an everyday light color and then add the Fire Glow in the crease and Earth Glow as a liner at night.  So glam!

These can be purchased at http://www.lauramercier.com.

I will be featuring more summer makeup products soon. (And may even have a fun giveaway in a few weeks!)

Enjoy!

I have been switching between the following products (sent to me for my honest review) for the last few weeks.

Nexxus® Youth Renewal™ Rejuvenating Elixir

Nexxus® Youth Renewal™ Rejuvenating Elixir ($17.99 USD) – This lightweight leave-in treatment helps rebuild hair’s strength whilemaking hair look more youthful, vibrant and radiant in just seven days*. The packaging allows for precise application through a dropper that distributes the product.

Nexxus® Youth Renewal™ Plump & Lift Blow Dry Spray ($17.99 USD) — Youth Renewal™ Plump & Lift Blow Dry Spray, infused with VITA-8 Complex™, builds thicker-looking hair by providing weightless volume that lasts all day.

I like to use both of these Nexxus products on damp hair together.  I start with the spray and comb it through my hair, then I add 4 drops of the elixir and smooth it through my hair.  I don’t blow dry my hair, but it air dries to be very soft and shiny!

You can purchase these products at drugstores and mass market retailers near you.  Visit www.nexxus.com to learn more.

Ecru Acacia Protein Oil

Ecru Acacia Protein Oil ($30 USD) — This multi-tasking elixir provides superb conditioning and moisturization for the hair. In addition, it protects against heat damage during styling, reduces drying time, eliminates frizz, and helps to mend split ends for hair that’s incredibly smooth with brilliant shine. It contains:

Acacia Collagen™: A patented plant-based anti-aging collagen that moisturizes hair and improves the hair’s ability to retain that moisture.

Argan Oils: To soften and smooth the hair, giving it that silky feel.

Hydrolyzed Keratin: To condition the hair, improving elasticity, manageability, shine and body of the hair.

My favorite way to use this oil is to rub a pump or two between my hands and smooth it on my hair.  I start with my ends then move up to my roots.  It is not greasy at all in my hair, it just makes it so soft and shiny!

I used this as my conditioner with my regular shampoo.  I left it in for a few minutes and after my hair dried, it was so soft — and wavy!  I have semi-wavy hair and this made me look like I had braided my hair wet, then un-braided it dry.  So cute!

Julep nail color is a fun way to make the season’s latest shades accessible to everyone.  And because we’ve tested our trend-setting toxin-free colors and products in over 100,000 manicures and pedicures in our parlors, we have a good idea of what works and what our clients love.”
