La Mer Crème De La Mer

addicted & dedicated

a few years back i received a couple small samples of creme de la mer. i figured, sure, i'll give it a shot. i knew it was thick and ultra-luxurious (both price and consistency) so i wasn't sure how it would work on my combination skin. within 2 weeks i was head over heels in love! my skin seemed to soften, i looked younger and more awake, rested and rejuvenated. i absolutely am a firm believer in la mer!

Neutrogena Body Oil

touchably soft

this product rocks! the very hint of sesame oil is intoxicating and reminds me of being on vacation. not to mention the moisturizing benefits! as another reviewer touted, definitely grab this before a towel and cover your body. this locks in even more moisture. if possible, wait a few minutes before toweing off after - allows for even more of the oil to absord in your skin. i keep multiples on hand - i never want to be without!

Benefit f.y...eye

naked much?

the perfect way to keep your eyeshadow in PLACE! my shadows don't crease, smudge, disappear ... nada! even better, if you don't feel like wearing any makeup, but want to perk up your eyes - use fy...eye and some under eye concealer, cheek stain and you're golden!

Benefit Dallas Face Powder

Perfection

this is the perfect sun-kissed, glowy blush (i use as blush, not just bronzer). the best color match i've found so far. my only recommendation is to go light with the brush - too much looks cakey; not that natural flushed glow we all love! ;)

Benefit firmology

Great Find!

This is a nifty little product. You can also use it as a makeup primer - smoothes out the fine lines and firms up skin immediately.
