Murad Acne Spot Treatment

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

This little wonder came into my life the very day that a pimple cropped up in my t- zone (usual) and under my eye! (not usual at all!). Needless to say I was expecting great results from this product as I wanted these pimples out of my life -- pronto!

I applied my first application in the evening. I cleansed with a gentle cleanser first and then applied the treatment using the applicator tip (no fingers really helps with keeping the area clean). The texture is fairly thick with a gel/cream feel. I only needed press lightly on the tube to release enough cream for my blemishes. It took about a minute to dry completely and then I was off to bed…

In the morning I was simply stunned. The redness of the pimples was significantly reduced and the pimples themselves had almost completely disappeared. I did not experience any flaking around the trouble spots either. I applied a bit more in the morning and by the end of the day I could barely see the pimples!

This is an excellent spot treatment for those of you who even have drier skin, since the formula is not super drying. In short, this is effective, convenient and the perfect size for travel/gym! (via Palacinka)

J. R. Watkins Lemon Hand & Cuticle Salve

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

J.R. Watkins hand & cuticle salve is just a fabulous product all around! I loved how my cuticles felt while using it. This salve lasted forever on my hands/nails, even after several hand washes during the day, and they continued to feel soft and moisturized!

The lemon/citron scent is truly lovely. It’s not too lemony; just authentic enough with a touch of feminine sweetness. It felt like silk on my fingertips and then it disappeared ever so gently into my skin with out feeling greasy or sticky.

The label color coordination with the scent of the product is clever as well. I just had a blast having this product and it made me smile every time I opened it up! Once the product is finished, you can re use the tin to organize your paper clips, tacks, or precious coins!

P.S. It worked so nicely that I snuck it onto my very dry ankles and bam! -- my ankles felt so soft. (via Palacinka)

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

4 people recommended this item

Description

It's funny how life works.

I usually have good skin with an occasional blemish every now and then. Well, on a Friday morning I woke up to a huge pimple on my cheek (cannot ignore that!) and I had about 2 days before a big family event (tons of pics that were going to be taken), to get rid of it. It was that day I saw the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion I had been asked to review and I hoped that it would work as well as I have heard over the years.

I decided to begin my assault that morning a few hours before work, Although the product is meant for over night use because it leaves little pink clay dots on the skin where it is applied. (Not attractive but I can live with it). I made sure to use it as per the instructions (not shaking the bottle, instead putting the q tip directly into the bottom of the bottle and pulling it straight out so that the pink clay lotion surrounds the tip). I applied it to my pimple and went back to bed. I woke up a few hours later to begin getting ready for work and rinsed it off. While it obviously had not dissapeared, it was noticably less red and a tiny bit smaller. So far so good...

That evening before bed I used it in the same manner and the next morning it was much smaller and had almost completely dried up, without irritating the rest of the skin around it. That night I repeated the process and the day of the event just used a small dab of concealer and I could not see anything.

I would say that if you have signifinant acne, then you need a intensive acne skin care/prescription product, but for those of you who get an occasional pimple, skin irritation and/or white heads this is a fantastic product, (and given a day or two) will clear them up completely. It should be noted that the packaging is glass, so it should be wrapped and sealed in a zip lock bag when you travel to avoid breakage.

This product will always be in my skin care collection, no matter what! Since just a tiny bit is needed for a pimple, (and if you have them infrequently), this will easily last a year, also making it a smart skin care investment treatment. (via Palacinka)

The Panty Pak travel bag

First to recommend

Description

Yes, that is a little thong on the front of the bag.

And this is the most practical (and cute) bag you’ll ever own.

It's called the Panty Pak and it makes it super easy to pack and organize your panties and other personal care items. Panty Pak is created by the makers of the oh so cute and also useful Brag (a carrying case for bras).

It has two outer pockets and inner mesh pockets for your “Clean” and “Not So Clean” items, which are marked on either side.

This is such a great idea and as soon as I got it I took it with me for had a quick overnight business trip. It’s light and can easily hold about 5-7 days worth of items in it. I also love that there are additional compartments for beauty/personal care items that you might want for a little overnight rendezvous or longer trip.

Here are our favorite must have beauty/personal care items to tuck into it!

Lumecin Overnight Brightening Treatment

First to recommend

Description

It's meant to look like a prescription product, and in fact, Lumecin did pack a powerful punch to produce a significant change in my skin. I had never heard of this product before, but after doing some research, I found out that quite a few of my fellow beauty lovers use this a part of their skin care regimin, and now I see why!

I used this treatment as directed after cleansing at night. I applied a dime's worth on my skin. It felt extremely light and was smooth to the touch, although visually it looks a bit like Prep H (don't be scared!). It was so light in fact, that I at first doubted what it could do.

That is until the morning after using it for 2 consecutive nights. My skin had an unbelievable glow and the texture was so soft. Every morning after I used it I woke to skin that just looked healthy and alive. It was so easy to just dab a bit of concealer and eye makeup and head out the door I felt so confident about my skin. As directed, I used this every night for about 2 weeks, and then went to 3x week. I didn't experience any irritation or flaking.

During the day I used a lotion with spf to help keep my hyperpigmentation at bay, and combined with this treatment at night, I also saw a significant improvment/lightening of my tiny dark spots left from some previous breakouts. What a fantastic discovery that I suspect you won't be dissapointed by either! (via Palacinka Beauty)

Olay Professional Pro-X: Discoloration Fighting Concentrate

First to recommend

Description

Olay had made great strides in really listening to the needs of women of all ages and skin types in their various lines over the years. Olay Professional Pro-X is their highest end line available in drugstores and like many of you, I wondered if this product line would make sense in that environment and of course if the results would be worth the price tag.

After using this treatment daily for over a month, I can honestly say yes to both of these concerns.

The Olay Professional Pro-X Discoloration Fighting Concentrate is a slim tube with a needle point applicator, which made it easy to target the exact spots and locations on my face where I needed to lighted my spots. That made it easy to pack for travel as well. It is white, lightweight and silky and sank in easily. There was no discernible scent. I applied it in the morning and evening after cleansing (using SPF in the daytime additionally).

After only a week I could definitely see a difference in the color of my spots. The formula didn't dry out or irritate my skin in those areas, as a matter of fact, it hydrated my skin very nicely. After two more weeks, several of the darker areas had completely disappeared, and one particularly troublesome area improved by 50-60%. I was extremely pleased with this product. As with any discoloration product, you do have to continue to use it on a regular basis to keep up the results, but this product has made me a believer, so that won't be a problem. (via Palacinka)

Carol's Daughter Essential Serum

First to recommend

Description

This serum, part of Carol's Daughter's "Bring in the Moisture" new skin care line, is really a wonderul combination of hydrating, fragrant oils which I loved applying and was extremely effective at moisturizing my skin.

I used as directed, after cleansing my face, adding a few drops (just 2 or 3 drop are all that's needed for the face) in my hands, rubbing them together and then applying to my face in a circular motion. I concentrated on my cheeks, forehead and outer eye area where I have the most dryness and fine lines. Please note: because of the types of oils contained within the serum (Essential Oils of Ylang-Ylang, Carrot Seed, Patchouli, Calendula, Peppermint, Rosemary and Fennel), it is very fragrant . I happen to enjoy scented products and this one is lovely, but if you are extremely sensitive to smells this may not work for you.

After just the application of the serum my skin's appearance improved. The drier areas were hydrated without any heavy or greasy feel or appearance, and it worked well with a light layer of moisturizer over it for particularly cold/dry days. I used this day and night for several weeks and loved not only how great my skin looked, but really appreciated all the natural oils that it contains.

I was a little worried that the oils would cause issues with my makeup application or staying power, but in fact it made the makeup even easier to apply and my skin stayed hydrated all day, so my foundation/powder in particular, remained in tact as well. This is a wonderful product for drier skins and I can't wait to see what the rest of the Bring in the Moisture Collection has in store. (via Palacinka)

Biore SkinPreservation See the Future Fortifying Eye Cream

First to recommend

Description

The eye cream comes in a small tube with a unique pen applicator which allowed me to apply the precise amount of product on the under eye area (not much is needed). It was extremely hydrating, soft, silky and absorbed quickly.

I had great results applying my concealer over this cream. After daily use, my eye area indeed looked much fresher and smoother. I would often apply a little at night and noticed in the AM my puffiness/darker circles were much less noticeable. (via Palacinka)
