Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Intense Treatment Eye Mask

First to recommend

Description

This was the perfect little mask to sooth my tired eyes at the end of the long day and after my frequent flights to both the west coast and Europe (6+ hours).

I really like the packaging in which each pair is individually wrapped (perfect for travel). The scent is the signature soft Shiseido scent which was relaxing, and the eye masks themselves felt cool on my skin. With the design and shape of the masks, they stayed in place under my eye area whether I was lying down, sitting or walking around my place.

After about 15 minutes my under eye area was brighter, my lines were softened and the skin surrounding the eye was super soft and supple. I also used some of the residual retinol serum from the mask on my eye area and face in the evening or the next day (I sealed it well and put it in a mini zip lock).

I found after using them a few times a week for several weeks, my eye area was indeed brighter and I had an overall much fresher look (especially when I applied in the AM after a late night!). These are a luxury, but it’s such an effective treatment it is worth it. These masks will not necessarily make dark circles disappear however. This is more of a moisturizing, soothing and overall toning product. (via Palacinka)

Stella McCartney Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On

7 people recommended this item

Description

I tried this fragrance a few years ago and recently picked it up again in Sephora because this cute, slim, sophisticated Roll-On bottle caught my eye!

This is a fragrance that I really do enjoy. Its rose based, but in no way a “Rose” perfume. The opening notes are of roses, but quickly the mandarin and amber come into play to give it such a soft, fresh and sexy twist. It really is a one of a kind fragrance. The lasting power is fantastic and the scent continued to develop nicely on me throughout the day even without reapplying with the peony notes melding with the amber. I got several compliments while I wore this one! When combined with this modern roll-on packaging, it is a big winner in my book.

I carried this everywhere I went – it’s a perfect size (about 4 ½ in” long). Since it’s slim it also easily fit in my jeans and the slimmest of evening bags. In addition to the lovely scent and modern, convenient packaging; this has a fantastic price. This is perfect for a little summer wedding favor gift for a bridal party, or graduation gift for the beauty/fragrance lover in your life.

Tip: If you roll a bit behind you knees in the morning on a hot day, the scent will rise with your body temperature during the day. Nothing else needed!

Notes: Rose, Peony Flower, Mandarin, Rose Absolute, Amber. (via Palacinka)

Clarins UV Plus SPF 40

9 people recommended this item

Description

I'm extra (EXTRA!) pale, and I tend to burn really easily when I get out in the sun. This product has been great to help keep me 100% protected at all times. It's also completely sheer and hasn't clogged my pores once. I've also managed to keep the same bottle for a really long time. A little bit truly does go a long way with this one.

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!

Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes

First to recommend

Description

This product is a great example of a product that has gone above and beyond the skin care cleansing wipes category.

I have skin that is prone to breakouts and oily, so cleansing for me is a serious proposition, since I need my cleanser to do double duty - cleanse and help prevent future breakouts. Having a quick and convenient way to do this (or an option when I can't get to my regular gel cleanser) is definitely what drew me to try these dermalogica wipes.

The wipes themselves are fairly large (almost as big as the average Kleenex) and moist, but not super drenched with liquid, so I found them much more pleasurable to use than some others in the past. I usually used them in the evening and after a gym workout. They left my skin very clean and still soft, and were effective at removing makeup as well. I could immediately feel the tingle of some of the ingredients which were antiseptic and helped to prevent the bacteria that often leads to my breakouts.

After using daily for only a week, I noticed an improvement in the main areas where I tend to breakout like my forehead and cheeks. If I was running late in the morning I also used them, added some light makeup and my skin looked great. These are a fantastic cleansing option and a must have for all you oily girls out there!

Note: These are particularly great for men after working out/sports and teenagers as well. (via Palacinka)

Urban Decay Cosmetics - Travel Size Set of 5

2 people recommended this item

Description

All I have to say is if you are: crazy about color, love making your eyes pop, a makeup artist looking to do something different for your clients, or just want to try something new with your eyes, you must get these sets.

I was truly impressed with the range of colors and the glitter effects of these pencils. They were so fun to work with! The texture of the pencils is light, smooth and creamy, and they stay on FOREVER! These pencils are also fantastic for doing a twist on the traditional black/brown smoky eye.

There are 5 pencils in each set, and since they are about 4.5 "in or so, they are easy enough to fit in any makeup case.

Order these now! Don't wait these are a limited edition...

My favorite shades for day: Bourbon, 1999 & Stash (From Velvet Rope)

My favorite shades for bolder look at night: Zero, Lust (amazing metallic purple!), Covet (From VIP) (via Palacinka)

Molton Brown Relaxed Traveller Kit

First to recommend

Description

Whether you actually have a trip coming up this weekend or for the soon-to-be-here holidays, no matter; this kit is an absoute must for your bath/body routine. This is one of the most beautiful, well thought out travel kits with products that also I loved to smell and use.

The zip close box, made of a very sturdy cardboard, is beautifully designed as you can see above. It was the perfect size for travel, elegantly packed and I love the color combinations. The whole presentation made this kit look much more expensive than it is, (although this is still a luxury travel kit purchase).

The products all contain a Chinese ingredient called yuan zhi. It's indeed relaxing and the scent reminded me of a very soft berries tempered with some citrus notes. It's very unique and I used the sleep mist often just to have that scent around me during the day. With the 100ml size (and under) of the products and the plastic bag which holds them, I also didn't have to worry about secuity at the airport as they were created with FAA regulations in mind.

The shower gel and lotion were very concentrated and left just the right amount of fragrance and moisture on my skin. For drier areas like my feet, I augmented the lotion with the balm cream.

If you're anything like I am, you will want to also get the full sized versions of everything in this line to keep at home! This is also a perfect gift idea for the beauty lover in your life." G.V.

Here's a complete list of the kit's contents:

relaxing yuan zhi bath & shower 100ml
relaxing yuan zhi body lotion 100ml
relaxing yuan zhi pulse balm 7ml
relaxing yuan zhi sleep mist 30ml

Nurturing Force Face Blotting Paper

First to recommend

Description

Like many of you, I've found that blotting papers are the way to go in terms of touch ups during the day, especially when you have daily mid-day and evening oilies like I do. I've found a few over the years that I've liked alot, but nothing new has caught my attention until now.

Nurturing Force blotting paper is a sheet roll in a small, light dispenser (about 2 1/2 in" long). What makes this a favorite of mine is the fact that the texture of the sheet is super soft and silky, and even smells great.This paper is made from a man made two fiber paper, which is what gives it this distinctive feel. In addition, since it's a sheet roll, I was able to tear off exactly the amount that I wanted each time, quickly and easily (the company estimates 70-125 sheets can be created from the roll). The blotting paper itself was extremely absorbant and best of all it's double sided, which means that I was able to use both sides of the paper and still be able to blot the oil - a great feature. The actual dispenser was very sturdy and cut the paper easily.


The version I used was the Aloe Vera, which had a nice clean scent. For those of you that like additional fragrance, the paper also comes in Bulgarian Rose (Not Rose Water) and Lavender Essential Oil versions which also smell incredible and extremely authentic.


I don't know how I got along without this product, but now that I've discovered it, I will always have a roll with me! (via Palacinka)

DermalogicaSkin Hydrating Booster

First to recommend

Description

This is a little bottle that packs a powerful punch! I was simply amazed with how this booster really made a difference in my normally dry skin.

After my first few days using the clear, light serum before my regluar moisturizer my skin never looked and felt so soft and smooth. I only needed to use about 3-4 drops each time. It sank in instantly, but left a very silky, smooth finish that didn't feel heavy at all. It created a nice "cushion" for either my day moisturizer or my night cream.

Any little fine lines and dry patches on my cheeks that would normally appear were minimized significantly by using the booster in combination with my moisturizer. It really was like the booster supercharged the effects of my moisturizer.

I've used several of Dermalogica's products, and for me this is by far one of their best and worth every penny, espcially since the bottle will last a good while due to the small amount needed each application. (via Palcinka Beauty)

mark Flip For It Spring Color Kit: L.A.

First to recommend

Description

The Flip for It Palette features seven products 4 lip shades, 2 eye shadows and 1 cheek shade. It measures about 3.5"in x 3.5"in and includes a mirror and a snap shut front closure with hard case.

Los Angeles Kit includes: Lip Colors: Melrose, Rodeo, Malibu and Beverly Hills Eyes Colors: Hollywood, Mulholland and Cheek Color: Sunset Strip

The colors are really pretty and versatile. My favorites were the two eye shades -- Hollywood, a shimmery taupe and Mulholland, a pretty deep golden-brown shade with light gold shimmer. I loved using Mulholland as a eyeliner as well. The cheek shade is a soft pink/coral, perfect for spring and really brightened up my complexion. This blush will work best up to a Michelle Obamba shade.

To get to the second palette, I just had to flip the tray around. The two lip colors Melrose and Rodeo Flip were "your lips but better shades". Melrose is a true sheer cinnamon and Rodeo is a deeper sheer brick red. These will work on all skin tones, but note that they are for a sheer, glossy look (so if you lips are more pigmented a light trace of lip liner will help to define the color).

The glosses are also pretty. Malibu is a medium peach and Beverly Hills is a melon shade that worked well combined and also with either one of the lip shades. They have a nice mint scent as well. All of these shades can be built up, so you can have a very neutral look or a much more dramatic one with this one palette. All this for only $20! Brilliant!

Note: This is such a great concept for a palette, but we would love to see an applicator included for true ease of use and to make it the perfect little item for travel.

For those of you who are more interested in a combination of vibrant and pastel pinks and purples, try the Tokyo Kit! (via Palacinka)
