Beauty Blender Sponge + Cleanser Duo Pack

First to recommend

Description

Sick of your dirty, makeup filled cosmetics sponges but still like the blending and natural texture you get from it? You're in luck! BeautyBlender, created by two talented makeup-artists-to-the-stars, Rea Ann Silva and Veronica Lorenz, will help YOU look like a movie star with the pricey services of a high-end makeup artist.

This egg-shaped wonder sponge, used to 'stipple' ('stippling' is bouncing the sponge lightly on your face as you apply your makeup), blend and soften your cosmetics application, has so many pro's they're hard to count. Let's just say that NO makeup sponge even comes close to BeautyBlender's ability to create a flawless, natural texture. You can use it wet or dry to apply, blend and soften makeup primer, foundation, concealer, blush, highlighter and powder--and you can probably find some additional applications by just playing with it! It's pretty, it's fun and guess what else? It's CLEAN!

BeautyBlender comes with it's own little clear, acrylic pedestal right in the package, so it's designed to be washed after each use and then perched atop its specially designed little spot to airdry. You can purchase BeautyBlender with the custom formulated cleanser called what else? BlenderCleanser!

BlenderCleanser is a gentle, lavender-infused cleanser packaged in an ingenious upside-down pump bottle made especially for the BeautyBlender.

One last great feature that I just have to mention: environmentally consciousness. Yes, because BeautyBlender is sturdy and washable, it lasts forever and can be used just as long. And BlenderCleanser's formula is low-suds, soy-based and free of dyes and irritants. What more can I say? Not much. Just this...you gotta get one! (via CherryCulture)

Olive Pits Make You Beautiful

First to recommend

Description

Korres Natural Products, well known for it's amazing body butters--my favorite is the Guava--and their Vanilla Cinnamon Showergel (yum!), is a pre-eminent skin care manufacturer in Greece. Heck, they established themselves in 1989 and within two years became THE center of homeopathic medicine in their native country.

From the moment I tried Korres's 3-in-1 Milk Proteins Facial Cleanser and their Pomegranate Balancing Moisturizer, I was hooked. Simple, essential, natural products that do the job they claim to do are Korres's specialty. Gotta love that.

So when I recently ran out of my regular exfoliant, I decided I'd give Korres Natural Products Olive Stones Scrub a try. I'm glad to report that it didn't disappoint. Simple and effective, this creamy, densely-textured cleanser loaded with medium-coarse scrubbies clears away all the gnarly buildup on your skin without stripping it or drying it out, revealing softer, smoother, clean and healthy-looking skin. Just like a baby's butt (minus the Desitin and Johnson's Baby Powder...unless you're into that, of course).

One word of caution, Olive Stones is very scrubby, so for those of you with sensitive skin, give Korres Almond Meal Soft Natural Scrub a try...its supersmooth scrubbies are Korres's answer for a kinder and gentler scrub.

Tess Perfect Pout Strawberry Moisturizing Lip Gloss

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

TESS (aka Teen Everyday Skincare System) Skin's Perfect Pout is one of those truly surprising products that made me re-think "Teen" skincare. I mean, I'm a thirty-something, but somedays my skin reacts more like I'm a thirteen-year old. So why in the world couldn't my skin, more specifiically in this case: my lips, benefit from a product designed for teenaged skin...well, it could and it does.

On to my experience with this more-than-fun lip treatment. First off, from the looks of Perfect Pout, you'd never think it was 'teen' product. The packaging looks more grown-up than some of the truly grown-up products I've purchased. Next, the product itself: way more grown-up than many of the "grown-up" products I've purchased. The gloss is not goopy, but it is substantial. Although it smells of strawberries, it's not plastic-y. In fact, the addition of Aloe Vera gel and Safflower oil really ground this lip gloss and bring it to the level of a lip treatment. But more than that, the gloss is really pretty. It looks clear, reddish-orange but it goes on perfectly clear...perhaps with just a hint of color, but certainly not noticeable, just healthy.

I've started using TESS Perfect Pout as the last step in my night-time skincare regimen, and my lips have never been softer or smoother. Plus, I use it as my lip-color base when I apply my daily makeup, and my lip color of choice always lasts longer and my lips look more youthful and dewy...throughout the day.

So, my darlings, here's one of those age-old (pun entirely intended) lessons that you cannot judge a book by it's cover, nor can you judge a lip gloss by it's name. What is supposedly intended for "teens" may surprise the most grown-up woman in all of us...and make us look (and feel) much younger than our birthdate mandates.
