Who wants beautiful skin?



I'd like to take the time and share some information I have on some wonderful skincare products. There are so many different directions I can take with this subject and instead of doing a generic general synopsis I would like to take my time and dissect the different areas of skin care and focus on specifics. So with that said, here we go!

I've been doing an experiment over the last few months that I'm excited to share with all of you. Kline-Becker, the makers of StriVectin-SD, sent me a very generous package with several different pieces of their products. I had always been curious about the "miracle cream" that I heard so much about. Especially since I've had a couple of kids and genetics proved to be unfortunately cruel with my UN-elastic skin. The stretch marks came and never went away. Faded of course but still remained. I decided to give StriVectin a go. I have to admit, I was totally skeptical and pretty sure it wasn't going to work. But I made a decision to remain faithful to my new regime of applying the light minty smelling cream on at least 3-5 times a week. I liked the consistency of the cream right away. It was light weight and absorbed very quickly. The scent was light enough for me to still wear my other favorite body lotions (which I'll post about later) and perfumes. After about six weeks I was personally able to see a difference. Crazy, huh?!



Whoa! This stuff really works. So I started using StriVectin-SD eye cream along with a powerful antioxdient face moisturizer they sent me. Even with the summer sun taking a toll on my skin and delicate eyes from all the squinting I think I can really see a difference. My skin looks pretty and clear and my pores are tiny and almost nonexistent! Gosh, I am so impressed by these products. I also have StriVectin HC and NE which are hand treatments to help with dark spots and the look of aging hands. I may not necessarily need these two pieces of product but I am loving how soft my hands feel and how good it makes my nails and cuticles look. Especially when I am touching the faces of brides and other clients. My hands are very important in how they look and feel.

My expectations of StriVectin have been far surpassed--to say the least. I recommend this product to anyone who has stretch marks that make them feel uncomfortable in the skin that they are in. This product can really make a big difference. If stretch marks aren't an issue for you but some fine lines around the eyes are, you won't be disappointed in the eye cream. Seriously, these products are amazing. I am currently using them all. I even just started using some deep wrinkly serum on a scar that I have to see if it will smooth it out at all. I'll keep you posted on my my findings. Go check out this stuff at: StriVectin!

A "Wrinkle" in Time (pun intended)

First things first. I need to just touch on this span of time that has gone by in a wink of an eye. A span of time that has taught me some valuable life lessons along with some tough love, and thankfully moments of pure joy. A decade. An entire decade. This is the amount of time that has gone by since I first started dabbling in documenting my experiences with cosmetics, skincare, and fragrances! Whoa, geez! So much has happened over the past decade. An experience of broken bone hell (you can read all about it at: diary of my broken ankle hell ), degrees earned (SpEd teaching credential and Masters Degree), careers started (from freelance makeup artist to high school special education RSP teacher), purchased and built a new home, my awesome sassy pants daughter graduated from high school and eventually moved on to study marketing in the beauty industry at FIDM (a girl after my own heart!),  a sweetheart son who recently turned eighteen and is on the verge of graduating high school...

INTERVENE by Elizabeth Arden

It’s that time of year again when I am just totally and completely consumed with bridal makeup! I love it. I love being a part of making a woman feel and look beautiful on one of the most special days of her lives. She knows she looks her best as she is gliding down that aisle to her beloved….her future….her hopes and dreams in front of her as she passes by her family and friends. I starting to notice that there was a difference in the final result of a makeup application on a woman on her wedding day and I needed to put my finger on what made a woman glow on her wedding day. I think it just comes from within. Like maybe from the joy and excitement or maybe from the sweet anticipation that the bride feels as she is getting ready to start the rest of her life as a married woman. Whatever it is…I am always on the look out for those products that give that “Special Glow.” As always, I am constantly trying new products. Of course I have my constant favorites in which I am loyal to but I al...

URBAN DECAY Spring 2010!!!

One thing that I can absolutely say is that my life is never, ever dull! Just when I thought I was on the path of freedom--on my way-- literally --to celebrate the completion of my teaching credential program I took a lame spill off my porch and broke my ankle! What a dork! I find out if I need surgery tomorrow.....but in the meantime, when I'm not totally doped up and loopy, I've decided to catch up on some reading, writing, and planning of birthday parties and family vacations we would like to take this year. First off, I couldn't wait to share my ever consuming love of Urban Decay Cosmetics with everyone. It just so happens that it ties in very well with the preparation of my daughter's 12th birthday party that we are planning for her--an Alice in Wonderland/Mad Hatters' birthday! Consequently, Urban Decay just released their Alice in Wonderland palette last week! I must get my fingers on this darling palette full of great shadows, 24 7 liners, and a primer p...
