BB Crush

No Comments

I have a new BB Cream crush – it’s smooth, dewy, has the perfect amount of coverage, and is easy to apply. It’s L’oreal’s Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. It’s part of L’oreal’s “Magic by Studio Secrets Professional” Collection, which also includes their Perfecting Base Face Primer, Smooth Soufflé Blush, Lumi Light Infusing Prime, and Lumi Highlighter.If you don’t know, the concept of BB Cream is the idea of an “all-in-one” face product. It’s supposed to even out skin tone, give coverage and cover blemishes, provide moisturizing benefits, give skin a flawless dewy glow, and sometimes even provide SPF. This particular BB Cream definitely hits the all-in-one mark, using “Beautifying Beads”, which are encapsulated pigments infused in an ultra-light lotion with antioxidants Vitamins C&E. (The cream comes out of the tube white, and as you apply it to your face, it turns to it’s namesake shade, and blends perfectly.) It…

A Closer Look at AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes

No Comments

I first gave you a peek of AVEENO’s Ultra-Calming Makeup Removing Wipes here, when I introduced some of their new summertime product additions. As I briefly mentioned there, I have had trouble finding a great makeup remover. I typically use baby oil, or a deep cleansing face wash while I am in the shower. The latter still doesn’t complete the job 100%, and baby oil can just be so messy.As always, AVEENO’s new makeup removing wipes do not disappoint. Their fresh smell and non-irritating formula, make for the perfect remover wipe that doesn’t burn my eyes (as many makeup removers do), and leaves my skin soft and smooth. The wipes use Active Naturals® Calming Feverfew™ – Feverfew is a natural calming flower, and is related to chamomile, which explains the soothing and gentle qualities. The package also has a hard plastic closure that snaps shut, as opposed to some other makeup removing wipe packages that…

Get Total Moisture for Summer (and Giveaway!)

4 Comments

I hate those drugstore body lotions that feel watery and waxy, and when applied to your skin, doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything except wetting your skin’s surface and wasting your time. This is definitely not to say that you can’t find an amazing body lotion at the drugstore. If you’re looking for a lotion that gives long-lasting moisture, actually feels like it’s working, and still want to spend a drugstore price, Vaseline® Total Moisture® lotion is it! It’s non-greasy, fast absorbing and offers their Stratys-3 TM multi-layer moisture complex, which infuses moisture at the surface, core, and deep down layers of skin. Although the lotion is thick and creamy (which I personally love!), it absorbs so quickly without leaving skin feeling greasy. You can actually feel it working, as it leaves skin feeling rich and hydrated right away.Vaseline sent me all three of their Total Moisture® Lotions, and it’s definitely hard to…
