This body wash has quite a strong smell, but nice, that suds up quite nicely. It feels very moisturizing and almost slippery, but it contains a large amount of petrolatum (second on the ingredient list after the water) and I think that is why I feel moisturized without really getting moisturized in the end. This is my daughters favorites as she loves the heavy violet scent.

Clinique Continuous Rescue Antioxidant Moisturizer is a potent new moisturizer with an Antiozidant Complex of eight rapid and delayed release antioxidants to help diffuse free radical activity. In laymen terms, this formula is made with specific ingredients that not only target, but neutralize the four most prevalent free radicals - like environmental and sun damage. What I love about this anti-aging treatment is that it not only a preventative treatment, but it is a great moisturizer as well. When applying, you feel immediate moisture, and over time it helps to strengthen the skin skin barrier for long-term moisturization. And it is skin type specific as well. There is a formula for Very Dry to Dry Skin, Dry to Combination Skin, and Combination Oily to Oily Skin. Within just weeks, you will notice that skin roughness and dryness is greatly reduced improving your skins overall appearance and texture. And the longer it is used, the better the results. It is about prevention and then maintenance. I have been using this (in the Very Dry) formula for almost 6 weeks now, and my skin had not felt as smooth in, well, I think forever.

3LAB is a prestige skin care line that takes a multifunctional approach to skin care. They have created the world's first bio-engineered growth hormone, anti-aging serum, featuring Nano-Claire GY to help effectively reverse the signs of aging. This product is "h" Serum. Being the first product to be "injected" if you will, with Human Growth Hormone, "h" Serum will minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminish the effects of sunlight on the skin, reduce age spots, and overall moisturize and smoothe the skin by increasing the skin 's energy and reversing the symptoms of aging. The serum is also full of what we always want in a powerful anti-aging product. Powerful anti-oxidants are included to protect the skin against free radicals and natural skin pollutants. Lumiskin is added to help enhance the skin's glow and luminosity. I have been using "h" serum morning and night after my cleansing routine, and before my moisturizer for just ten days now. I must say that I am most impressed with what the serum has done so far. You see, I used Retin-A on part of my forehead that broke out in acne after I had my daughter over 11 years ago. I didn't use the retin-A for long, maybe 2 months, as it took care of the acne, but left me very red, dry, and so sensitive to the sun, even to this day. The long term effects of the retin-A has left my forehead very spotty, with freckles, discoloration, and age-like spots. The "h" Serum has so reduced the discoloration on my forehead that I am truly amazed. Remember, I have been dealing with this troublesome area for 11 years, and nothing - NOTHING- has taken care of it. I am positive that with continued use, this Serum will totally take care of this area for me. As for the rest of my face, it feels incredibly smooth, almost like I have been using a micro-dermabrasion product every day, which in fact I have not. It is obviously the effects from the cell turnover rate induced by the Human Growth Hormone. "h" Serum is on the expensive side, $175, but it is just so incredible. I would not hesitate to buy this for the results that I have seen in so little time.

I started with the Jergens new Natural Glow FACE Daily Moisturizer ($6.99) on my face, neck, and chest, while I am using their Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer ($6.99) on the rest of my body. I initially started with the Fair for my face, and the medium for most of my body. I just purchased the medium for my face as well, and will begin to use that to see a little faster results. I like the gradual results, but I hate the smell. It stinks - but if you can get past that, the color is even, very natural, and gradual. I only use it at night before bed so I can wash off the starchy smell first thing in the morning.

When Bobbi Brown does something right, there is no doubt that she does it right. With a very moisturizing base, the lipstick is what it says, creamy. Normally you would find a formula like this in a pot, but this lip color is in stick form. Enriched with Shea Butter and other skin conditioners, this lip color glides on and keeps lips feeling soft and smooth all day. Creamy Lip Color comes in a full range of 14 shades. My favorites are Bronzed Pink, Crystal Pink, and Nude Pink.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Foaming 3-in-1 Cleansing Gel for Face and Eyes
My favorite cleanser EVER - and I have tried my share!
The size of a dime is all you need to dispense from the bottle in order to remove every trace of makeup, dirt, and the most stubborn, sometimes hard to remove, waterproof eye makeup and mascaras. This cleanser has never failed me. It always leaves my skin feeling totally clean, fresh, and not dry or stripped in any way. I try different cleansers, well, because I am a beauty blogger, but always go back to Purity. The scent is very light, and I truly look forward to using this at the end of the day to help my skin feel totally refreshed and totally clean.

If you are looking for a nice, build able self-tanner for you body, then you should definitely check out Sunburst Body. I have used this moisturizing self-tanner on my legs and I really like the results. To use, I squeeze out about a quarter sized amount, and rub the lotion together in my hands until the beads burst. I then apply Sunburst Body just like a lotion, but more carefully over my feet, ankles, and knees, of course. Using the color as I guide, I use this amount for each leg. After washing off, the long term self-tanner color results are gradual, but have turned my legs a beautiful golden brown in about a week.

I swear that their powders are the softest and most velvety feeling powders I have ever used. This is an eye shadow palette with four color intrique shades. They are Ember, Sand Dune, Cool Blue, and Sand Castle. I sweep Sandcastle across my brow bone, and then Sand Dune on the inner half of my lid. I then apply Cool Blue to the outer half of the lid, sweeping slightly outward and upward. Next, I apply Ember as a contour in the crease, and blend this outward and upward into the Cool Blue. Next, I use their gel eyeliner, which is a round container with two shades in it. I apply Deep Brown to my upper lash line, and then Hot Bronze to my lower lash line.

If you want to take the look to the next level, then you need to add LORAC Glam Rocks. I am afraid of loose products, especially those with shimmer. But with this one ins a small shaker top format, using a small shadow brush or eyeliner brush, it is not too bad. Use Metallic Copper, a beautiful loose powdered coppery bronze shadow as an eyeliner by dipping a damp brush in to the top of the shaker, or dabbed into the inner corners of your eyes, by using your fingertips.

I love to layer gold lipstick, especially over a pretty pink lipstick in the Summer. This one is sheer and shimmery - not to mention sexy! On it's own, it honestly does nothing for me. But used over or under a lipstick, or under a gloss, the lipstick plays up the gold tones.
