Aveda Green Science Lifting Serum (love!)

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Hello, again pretties! I apologize for the unexpected hiatus, but I promise you, it was well worth it. I have tons of fabulous products to share. It won’t be as regular as before, but I promise to drop a line when I can.

The first is the new Aveda Green Science Lifting Serum. Unlike some serums this is not sticky, tacky or thick. It wears wonderfully under make up.

According to the Aveda website, this serum “helps skin boost its natural collagen production for a more lifted appearance.”

I can’t say it has lifted my appearance, but I can say it is a lovely moisturizer.

Pure Aloe Vera Gel (love!)

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

On my beach vacation. I got stung by a bee. Not speaking the language, I was able to communicate enough to say I need something to stop the burning.

Little did I know what they gave me was liquid gold. The purest aloe gel I’ve ever seen. It stopped the burning.

And it did more. When I got a bit to much sun, it soothed and took away the redness. In fact, I didn’t touch my much pricier moisturizer the rest of the trip. This aloe gel did more for my skin in a week than the moisturizer I’ve been using did in a month.

Now the only problem is finding the pure aloe gel stateside. Growing the plants seem to take forever, anyone have a better suggestion?

Suave Cocoa Butter with Shea Moisturizer (love!)

Friday, May 21st, 2010

I keep the smaller version of this in my desk at work. Honestly, when I’m craving chocolate, I just lather this on my hands and the subtle chocolate scent is just enough to get me by.

It is amazingly moisturizing and stays on through multiple hand washings and Germ-X uses.

This lotion absorbs really quickly. I am back to typing away on my computer within a few minutes, much faster than other cocoa butters.

Philosophy Hope Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 30 (love!)

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

I’m cheating on my Cetaphil again. I can’t help it! I get wooed by the newest products from my favorite lines. Philosophy being one of them. And with summer coming up, my super fair skin needs all the SPF it can handle. I figure if I am using an SPF moisturizer, SPF foundation and a powder with SPF, I have to be doing something right, right?

Back to this amazing product. The consistency is thick, but not too thick. It has a pleasant, almost lavender scent. It goes on and sinks into skin, leaving you plumped in all the right places. It dries quickly and can immediately put on the rest of my make up without having to wait for it to dry.

I’ve already noticed a difference in my skin. The super fine laugh lines seems to be a little less noticeable. And even if that’s just the placebo effect of wishful thinking, I’m in love.

I can’t wait to see how this product stands up to the summer and if it can prevent that ever present fear of getting burned.
