Products pictured from left to right:

·        Anti-Aging Tinted Eye Brightener ($19.99): Night owls and early risers can both benefit from this quick fix and leave those sunglasses at home! This age-defying, under-eye brightener features Caffeine, Blue Agave and Haloxyl Peptide to conceal dark circles, reduce puffiness, improve elasticity, and minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

·        Macadamia Nut Exfoliating Body Cleansing Scrub ($8.99): This creamy, exfoliating, cleansing butter provides superior hydration while removing dirt and oil. Macadamia Nut Oil and micro-beads gently slough off dead skin cells while Shea Butter and Coconut Oil moisturize, leaving skin clean and refreshed.

·        Intense Hydration Overnight Rejuvenator ($19.99): Repair skin while you sleep with this intensive treatment, which rejuvenates and nourishes dry, mature and sun-damaged skin! Anti-inflammatory Royal Jelly, Tepezcohuite and Camapu minimize signs of aging while hydrating and firming.

·        Overnight Time-Release Retinol Capsules ($21.99): Restore elasticity and radiance with these technologically-advanced capsules, utilizing Retinol (pure Vitamin A) to enhance elasticity, minimize fine lines and even tone and texture.  Toss these tiny, potent capsules in your travel bag for an on-the-go fix!

·        Lift & Shine Volumizing Mousse ($9.99): Get your “body” noticed with this volumizer! The non-sticky formula of this lightweight mousse features polymers and humectants to add volume and shine, thickening fine, limp hair and fighting frizz.

·        Style & Finish Firm Hold Hairspray ($9.99):  This strong-hold hairspray is formulated with the latest technology to deliver all-day style and control with flexible hold, keeping hair styled even in heat and humidity.

Right now I am particularly loving the Overnight Time-Release Retinol Capsules and the Anti-Aging Tinted Eye Brightener.  The capsules are a gel that when applied, leave skin smooth and soft.  They also have a matte finish, which although not so important at night, I really love.

The eye brightener is a quick step after concealer, that brightens eyes and minimizes the look of wrinkles. Also helps with my morning puffiness!

These products are all affordable and easily accessible at your local CVS/pharmacy. Enjoy!

Hand And Nail Products From Julep Keep Hands Soft And Youthful

Unfortunately, hands are one of the easiest way to tell a person’s age.  I moisturize and apply sunscreen to my hands daily to keep them looking young. You can keep your hands smooth and youthful through fall with these hydrating products by Julep.

Julep Facial for Hands ($32.00 UAS) Potent glycolic acid combined with apricot seeds provides powerful double exfoliation that leaves your hands feeling noticeably softer and looking younger after just one use.  Naturally scented with orange oil for a refreshing aromatherapy boost with each use.   This product is perfect for anyone battling dry, dull skin, age spots and fine lines on your hands.

Julep Everyday SPF30 Hand Cream (unscented) ($28.00 USD) — was created to protect your hands from sun-damage.  Facial creams and foundation all have SPF built-in, and now your hand cream can too.  Our FDA approved Everyday SPF was specially designed to protect your hands from UVA and UVB sun-damage while promoting skin renewal and penetrating hydration.

Julep Essential Cuticle Oil ($18.00 USD) — All-natural blend of essential oils and Vitamin E hydrates and strengthens nails and cuticles. Extends the life of your manicure while leaving a glossy sheen. Use daily to soften rough cuticles and strengthen nails. The convenient roller-ball application allows you to take your Julep Essential Cuticle Oil everywhere you go.

What I think:  With regular use, these salon-quality products will help transform hands.  I like glycolic scrubs because they smooth hands two ways — with the scrubbing beads and the glycolic acid.  This really helps aging skin.  The hand cream has a great SPF and is not greasy.  My favorite products is the cuticle oil.  The little bottle is cute and portable and it smells fresh and herbal. They all work well on dry hands and nails.
