Tomorrow is a very exciting day! Carla, the Beauty Social Media Specialist for Nordstrom, got in touch with me earlier in the week to invite me to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trend Show tomorrow in Coral Gables (Miami). As part of the show, myself and a bunch of fellow beauty bloggers get to attend the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party where we get the opportunity to speak to some beauty brand experts such as Alex Chantecaille (Chantecaille Creator), George Smart (Osmotics National Educator), John Fussell (Chanel Global Ambassador, and Thomas Saujet (Hanae Mori fragrances).

Aveeno Beauty Expert Answers and MORE Giveaways!

3 Comments

I’ve talked about Aveeno’s amazing skin and beauty expert, Dr. Jessica Wu before, and now she is answering some need-to-know beauty questions submitted by you, and fellow Aveeno Ambassadors’ readers!Talking beauty with Dr. Wu:Suggestions for adult acne. “Adult women with acne tend to have drier skin than teens with acne, so traditional acne medications are often too drying and irritating, and make the situation worse. Your best bet is to use a gentle foaming cleanser (like Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming cleanser) to remove makeup & surface oils, followed by a sulfur-based mask or treatment product (check out Clearasil Adult Treatment Cream, Bare Escentuals Blemish Therapy, or Murad Sulfur mask). Sulfur is antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, without being as drying as benzoyl peroxide.

More Aveeno Treats! Positively Ageless

1 Comment

As an Aveeno Ambassador, I frequently come home to packages of Aveeno goodies awaiting me. My last package included their Positively Ageless Daily Exfoliating Cleanser, and their Positively Ageless Youth Perfecting Moisturizer with SPF 30.Both of these products use Aveeno’s Natural Shiitake Complex made with shiitake mushrooms, which are known for their medicinal and age-defying properties. The complex works with skin’s own natural renewal process and are shown to reveal healthy, younger-looking skin in just 4 weeks!I’ve been using the Positively Ageless Daily Exfoliating Cleanser these past couple of weeks and I absolutely love it! It’s a light foaming cleanser with tiny microbeads that are able to exfoliate and remove dead skin, dirt, and other impurities, but since the beads are so tiny, the cleanser is gentle enough to use daily, unlike other stronger exfoliators. I LOVE the way this cleanser smells – the fragrance is so fresh and natural. Besides the shiitake…
