*Compared with Rejuvenate Night Cream. 


I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical about the claims right off the bat, but I figured I'd give it a try.  I am a total sucker for trying new items in skin care lines, and because of how much I love the Avon Rejuvenate, I decided to give this concentrate a chance.  I am so glad that I did!

Every morning after I shower and wash my face, I apply this concentrate.  As you can see, it is a thick, pearlescent serum that immediately soaks into the skin and creates a perfect canvas for your moisturizer and makeup.  When I used this the first day, after 10 minutes of letting it all soak in, I noticed smaller pores, a visible reduction of fine lines, and evened out skin tone.  This could easily replace a primer in my opinion, because of how well it preps the face for the rest of the day!  I still can't believe the immediate results I saw!


This photo was taken seconds after the one above, showing how this serum literally soaks right into the skin without any sticky, greasy or wet residue.  Do remember this does not replace your moisturizer, so you will want to follow the concentrate with your morning lotion (SPF included!).

Again, I would suggest this for anyone that is looking for something to smooth out and refresh in the morning!  I couldn't be happier with the product, and even though it is a little pricey (retail $48.00) it is on sale right now for $24.00 - click here for details.  Also, check out all the reviews on the side of the product (as well as anything else you are searching for) - there are great details from the consumer about the product as well!

I picked two of the twelve recipes below to put on my "to do" list for my spa day, which I will be having sooner rather than later after reading the article! The first is a Papaya Face Mask and the second is a Relaxing Foot Soak. I can already feel the stress easing away!

Bare Escentuals

Who needs an "eye quickie"?

10:17 AM

Being the Bare Escentuals makeup fiend that I am, I thought I would share another little bargain I bought a while back from the Bare Escentuals boutique here in Indianapolis. I thought these colors would be perfect for spring, especially as an eyeliner or bright smokey look. The two colors that came in this kit are Masquarade - a deep turquoise blue, and Mystery, a very warm mauve/lilac color with hints of fuscia and gold sparkles.



The swatches below give you a good idea - but I would almost put these as a "duochrome" type color because as you move, the colors adapt to the lighting and change. I swatched these dry, and you can see how dramatic the coloring is - as a liner, the shimmer comes out a bit more.


I will try and use these as an eyeshadow and liner in some upcoming EOTD's to give you an idea of each's versatility.
