Need Energy?

1/4 Hydrating Lotion

"whoa!" Invigorating beads that act as little wake-up calls for your skin. The sparkling scent of grapefruit & lemongrass. An ultra-light hydrating gel formula. A get-it-going boost in the morning? Big Time.

Wake Up. Go Fresh.

That's the product description! I'm a sucker for these kind of products! With this one I'm really not impressed :(. It smells great but it seems to have more lotion in it than soap and that's definitely not a good thing for me. I ended up having to re-shower with my trusty Oil of Olay. now If you are the kind of girl that needs that extra moisture this would be great for you. I like getting out of the shower feeling clean not slippery! I rather add moisture by lotion.

Pantene Texture Collection

This little can brings me so much joy! Its from the Pantene Texture Collection and its the BOMB! I was really having problems with my hair curling up around the edges when I workout. Its so annoying to have straight hair every where except the hairline. I put a little of this around the edges and work out, when I comb my hair down it looks exactly the same! The formula is creamy so it doesn't take a whole lot to get results. It is not hard or flaky either!

I got it at Target for $5.99.

Makeup Remover for the Lazy Woman

Sometime when I go out and don't feel like washing off my makeup instead of keeping it on to get a zit I use these soft Neutrogena towelettes! They even magically remove waterproof mascara and you can forget about an oily residue! I even use them before I cleanse my face at night to make sure all the makeup is gone. Price 5.99

Need Cooling Off?

I'm always looking for things that don't contain dairy because my son cant eat it. He wants to be like every other kid and have ice cream!! Yesterday I found this Italian ice at walmart and I just let him try it and he loves it! With 12o calories a serving I love it too!

Radiance!!

I had never tried any Burt's Bees products before but I'm glad that I picked up this little kit on impulse at Borders Books of all places. The healthy glow part caught my eye, and for the price of 11.99 I said why not!

Contains:
Mini Exfoliating Body Bar (.80 oz.) - Haven't used this yet!
Exfoliating Body Wash (1 fl. oz.) -Smells divine!
Mini Body Lotion (.50 fl. oz.) - It leaves your skin shimmery after use
Day Creme (.25 oz.)- I use this after I cleanse my face in the morning and its really creamy and moisturizing.
Night Creme (.25 oz.) - I didn't think I had a need for this because I have a nightly regime but I tried it anyway. I don't know if it will replace my night cream but I will use it from time to time.
Eye Creme (packette) (.067 oz.) - Now I'm 27yrs old and I don't have wrinkles so I don't see the need for eye cream at this time. I do however have small lines where the skin is tender under the eyes along with hereditary dark circles. So after about a week I realised that the lines were minimized and my eyes seemed brighter.
Full Size Lip Shimmer (.0975 oz.)- Just regular old Lip Balm :)!

Now let me remind you that everything here is trial size!

Big Pores are the Devil!

I recently noticed that my skin was a lot clearer Im guessing from increasing the amount of water I drink but for about the past week I had these unsightly black heads on my nose! I used this Clean ad Clear Blackhead Eraser and they were removed almost instantly! It opened my pores and cleaned them out but the next day I noticed my pores were HUGE! I began my search for another product that will minimize them and i decided to try Oil of olay pore redefining scrub. It comes in this tube with a twist off cap and the product leaves your skin feeling clean and tight. It did close my pores after a few uses.
