Try a Fresh New Look in 2014

Happy new year! I try a lot of skincare, makeup, hair care etc. each year. I am now in my 5th year of my fabulous blog (coming up to my 1000th post! Giveaway coming sometime this month — stay tuned!). Sometimes, my face takes all of the different creams and cosmetics well, but I am broken out now. I know, could be post-holiday stress!

So looking towards 2014, I would like to keep it simple, with a few great new products and a fresh look. Here are some of the items that I’m trying this week. Here’s to a clear face, shiny hair and a soft, fresh look for 2014!

Bioré Makeup Removing Towelettes ($7.99 USD): Dissolve away all makeup, dirt, grime and other environmental impurities. Developed with luxuriously soft cotton, the powerfully conditioning formula never leaves behind a greasy residue—meaning no rinse required.

What I think: I have been using these nightly to remove my makeup and cleanse my skin. I love the fresh scent and they leave my skin clean, but not dried out.

Available at drugstores and mass market merchandisers. Learn more at www.biore.com/en-US.

Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 20 ($12.49 USD) — Neutrogena Healthy Skin^® liquid makeup takes over where your skin care leaves off. Silky-light coverage glides on for a perfectly natural look, while the exclusive blend plus Broad Spectrum SPF 20 work together to visibly improve skin’s luminosity, tone, and texture.

Flawless coverage, lightweight, silky formula
Exclusive blend of antioxidants and Broad Spectrum SPF 20
Maintains skin’s young and healthy look
Available in 12 new shades

What I think: This foundation feels so natural on! It gives light to medium coverage and I love that it is good for my skin! With twelve shades, its easy to get a great match.

Available at www.neutrogena.com and drugstores near you.

beautyADDICTS Lip Addiction ($17 USD) — A luxurious, full-coverage high-shine lip glaze that provides intense, opulent color while nourishing lips with vitamins and plumping lips with peptides. Available in 8 shades as shown above.

What I think: I have this in Naked, the nude shade 4th from the left and the red called Hollywood. They are full coverage, and feel great on! Not sticky at all!

Available at www.beautyaddicts.com.

beautyAddicts GlimmerSHEERS ($28 USD) — Ultimate duo designed to highlight and luminize eyes, face and cheeks. Unique formulas in complementary shades: Glimmer – a soft focus luminizing luster for a sun-kissed, elegant sheen. Sheer – a crystal clear balm that hydrates and enhances glowing skin.

What I think: This is a cool product! I have it in Glow, which is a purplish hue. This makes a great eye shadow and I love to put the clear balm on the top of my cheeks for a little shine.

Available at www.beautyaddicts.com.

Sensai 38°C Mascara ($32 USD) — Sensai promises this mascara will resist tears of holiday laughter and watery eyes from gusty winds! The 38°Cstands for 38 degrees Celsius, as it’s the temperature of water required to melt the mascara off your lashes.

What I think: This is a great waterproof mascara! It stays on all day and is buildable so you can have a more natural look, or go glam with lots of volume! This has become my everyday mascara.

Sensai products may be purchased at https://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/ and http://www.neimanmarcus.com/.

Don’t forget healthy hair in 2014! To keep it soft and frizz-free, try Mark Hill Defrizz-ilicious Magic Drops Rescue and Repair Treatment ($11.99 USD, 50ml) — This magic repair treatment is filled with Micro Wheat Proteins & Keravis to help protect, strengthen and restructure damaged and dry hair.

What I think: I put a few drops of this treatment in my damp hair before styling. It makes my hair so soft. Then I use a bit more on my dry hair to keep the flyaways down and to make it very shiny. Love!

Available at Walgreens stores and online.

Meaningful Beauty Crème de Serum

I was sent a deluxe sample of Meaningful Beauty by Cindy Crawford Crème de Serum for my honest opinion by Influenster. Have you heard of Influenster? It is a great site that you can join to receive and review samples of beauty, food and other great items. If you would like an invite, leave a comment and I will be happy to send you one!

Here is the description of the serum: The Meaningful Beauty Crème de Serum takes a triple approach to combating the signs of aging with three powerful anti-aging ingredients: superantioxidant melon complex, anti-aging peptides and hyaluronic acid. Combining the power of a serum with the rich, moisturizing effects of a crème, this crème de la crème treatment is designed to help protect, increase hydration and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

More details:

Available as part of the Meaningful Beauty New Advanced Anti-Aging System.
Combines the best properties of a serum (concentration and potency) with the best properties of a cream (rich, moisturizing texture).
Formulated to help to visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and leave skin soft and more supple.
Designed to help promote a smoother, more even toned, radiant complexion.

What I think: I have tried other Meaningful Beauty products in the past and have really liked them, especially the cleanser! So, I was really excited to try this serum.

The serum is thick, and almost had the feel of a primer. When applied, it sinks right into my skin and leaves it feeling smooth and looking more even. I used it (all) for a few weeks and really like what it did to my skin, and was upset when it was empty! I feel that it made my fine lines less noticeable and my skin tone smooth and even. Great Product!

Fab New Beauty Brands — Besame Cosmetics, Beauty for Real and Cailyn Cosmetics

I love discovering new (to me) makeup brands. There are so many great products out there and I like trying as many as possible!

Besame Cosmetics, Beauty for Real and Cailyn Cosmetics have kindly agreed to send me products to try for my honest opinion. These are my three favorites:

Besame Brightening Violet Powder ($22 USD) — A translucent violet powder that brightens any skintone. The finely milled formula sets makeup beautifully, leaving a soft, matte finish and a subtle violet fragrance. Wear it alone, over foundation, or around eyes to instantly lighten dark circles.

What I think: This is such a beautiful powder. It has no glitter or shimmer in it, yet instantly brightens the skin. So pretty and has a soft violet scent.

You can purchase at http://www.besamecosmetics.com

Beauty For Real Get Glowing! Cheek Tint and Luminizer ($29 USD) — Get Glowing! Cheek Tint and Luminizer features a highlighter, GET LIT, which is a light, luminescent mother of pearl and the cheek tint, IN THE PINK, is a fresh pink that brings a nearly natural rosiness to the skin. There is also Get Glowing! Cheek Tint and Luminizer features a highlighter, GOLDRUSH, which is a brilliant, light reflecting warm, sheer gold and the cheek tint, AFTERGLOW, brings a flush of bronze that you want to wear all year long.

What I think: I have the Get Lit/In the Pink combo (pictured). A little goes a long way with the blush. It is very pigmented. The highlighter is very pretty. I use it on top of my cheekbones and in the corners under my eyes. It is also nice on the browbones.

Available at www.beautyforreal.com.

Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm in Cotton Candy ($19 USD) — This ultra matte, super-moisturizing lip balm delivers rich color and amazing staying power. This amazing lip balm is formulated with 3D Smart Film Former, which keeps colors vibrant longer. Includes a built-in brush for easy application. Wear alone or apply with the Cailyn Pearly Shimmer Balm for a more glamorous, shimmery pout. Available in 18 shades.

What I think: This balm is so moisturizing, but it is matte and covers like a lipstick. Cotton Candy is a little light for me, but I love the coverage and how soft it makes my lips feel. I like to wear it with a little darker gloss over it. Pretty!

Bath Time! Fab Products by Laura Mercier, Nyakio, H2O+, 800razors.com, Sure Deodorant and Jergens

I am definitely a bath person. I know that showers are faster, but I love long, hot bath. It totally relaxes me. Are you a bath or shower person? Leave a comment and let me know, and know what your favorite bath or shower products are!

Here are some of my current favorites, sent to me for my honest review:

Laura Mercier Honey Bath ($40 USD) — This decadent, foaming honey moisture body bath leaves skin feeling clean, fresh and supple. Available in five delectable fragrances: Almond Coconut Milk, Crème Brûlée, Ambre Vanillé, Crème de Pistache and Fresh Fig.

What I think: I have this in Fresh Fig. It smells fantastic and gives lots of foamy bubbles. And the jar is so cute! This is well worth the splurge. I want to try all of the scents.

With Mongongo Nut Oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Grape Seed Oil and Avocado Oil, this unique fusion leaves all skin moisturized, smooth and soft.

Purcashe at HSN, HSN.com and www.nyakio.com

We gals take our beauty routines very seriously. Let’s face it, there is always a new product, trend, or regimen we “need” to try. It’s time to simplify our a.m. routines and make them as painless as possible. First step: take the “ouch” out of hair removal. One thing we can all agree on- waxing is one form hair removal that is painful in more ways then one!

To help take the sting out of hair removal, I’d like to introduce you to 800razors.com, the burn-free razor company, as they share Five Expressive Reasons Why Not to Wax:

1) Yikes! — Waxing at a salon is ridiculously expensive, costing anywhere from $45 – $100 per leg. Not to mention that doesn’t even cover the bikini area, armpits and other body parts we don’t want to share with our hair!! Oh, and home waxing kits? We won’t even go there!

2) Ouch! — Waxing hurts like heck! Having scorching hot wax dripped on your skin to later be yanked out by the roots isn’t an ideal spa day experience. Imagine the ensuing pain that comes with ripping a bandage off… now multiply that by at least 5.

3) Yuck! — While getting a full leg or armpit wax removes unwanted hair, it often results in bumps, ingrown hairs, rashes, and even pimples. Have sensitive skin? The hot wax can cause unwanted irritation that will leave you with legs you’ll cover up instead of show off.

4) Nasty! — No one knows how sanitary the salon wax actually is (or the actual salon for that matter!). With waxing, there is always risk of a bacterial infection, skin infection, or even a disease since it strips away the body’s natural protective layer that prevents bacteria from penetrating the skin.

5) Dang it! — Last minute beach trip or spontaneous first date will never fly since you need at least 3-4 weeks of hair growth for the wax to adhere. So if you have last minute plans, you’d be out of luck!

So if you’re joining the thousands of women who are saying “heck no” to waxing, what is the simplest, softest, smoothest solution? 800razors.com, the burn-free razor company that offers the “Burn-Free Guarantee” – no skin burn, wallet burn, or American job-loss burn!

What I think: I have tested their 5-Blade Women’s Razor. This is a great razor! It has a lubricating strip all around and a soapbar at the bottom. The 5 blades gives a very smooth shave and it is easy to change the heads.

Learn more and purchase at www.800razors.com.

In the 1980s Sure Anti-perspirant/Deodorant ran one of the most memorable advertising campaigns with the slogan, “Raise your hand if you’re Sure.” Today, the brand is offering women even more confidence to go about their day. They recently revealed a new look and introduced two new conditioning solids –Vitamin Infusion and Pure Essence.

The new conditioning solids offer a pH-balanced invisible formula that provides lasting odor and wetness protection while working to reduce irritation and smooth rough patches. The unscented Vitamin Infusion formula conditions and repairs skin with Vitamins A and E, while the Pure Essence variety features a light fragrance and soothing aloe extracts.

Sure products are available nationwide at major drug stores and retail for around $2.99 each. Available varieties include Unscented, Regular Scent, Fresh Scent, Powder Scent, Vitamin Infusion and Pure Essence.

What I think: I have been given the new scents, Vitamin Infusion and Pure Essence. I really like the soft scent of Pure Essence. I use a stronger deodorant, but I gave these to my teenage daughters and they love them! They keep them dry all day.

Learn more at www.suredeodorant.com.

Shea Butter Deep Conditioning Moisturizer by Jergens ($8.99 for the large 16.8 oz) — Blended with pure African shea butter, this rich mix of vital nutrients
instantly relieves dryness, replenishes depleted moisture and enhances the
performance of skin’s own moisture barrier.

What I think — this is so moisturizing on my dry, fall skin! My legs have been so dry since the weather turned cold. This keeps them soft all day long!
