Nuance Salma Hayek Lights, Camera, Action Eye Trio

Nuance Eye Trio is my favorite beauty purchase in 2012!

I find myself thrilled with each purchase that I have made from Nuance so far! This kit intrigued me during my last visit so I decided I should check it out. The liquid eyeshadow is a truly beautiful,flattering shade of gold dust. It's really just perfect--not too glittery but enough sparkle to make your eyes pop. The highlighter looked like it would be too much of a "bright" unnatural shade of white but it blended beautifully. The eye liner goes on very smooth (no tugging) and survived South Florida's swampy heat. I love that this is all contained in one little kit that you can keep in your purse! I love you Salma! You really worked at making an outstanding product! Kudos to you and your Grandma--thank you for sharing!

Nuance Salma Hayek Hydrating Balm Rose Petal

Best lip balm ever!

I absolutely love this product! I was pleasantly surprised because I usually end up disappointed with drugstore purchases. Not this time! This goes on light and doesn't feel tacky or heavy at all. It moisturizes and doesn't leave a yucky residue like some balms. I did have a problem trying to get the darn thing opened though. Looking forward to trying more of her products! You rock Salma!

Boots No7 Beautifully Balanced Purify Cleanser

Disappointment--couldn't purify to save it's life!!!

I am taking this back to Target the first chance I get! It comes out looking like a gel but it didn't foam up (my bad, I should have checked first). This might work for an older woman in her 60's but it didn't do jack for this 40 year old! I put it on my face and used a washcloth to work it in but it was to no avail. It did nothing. Didn't remove my makeup at all, in fact I felt dirtier after trying to rinse it off. It was like rubbing lotion on your face. Gross! Don't waste your money!

Garnier Skin Renew Miracle Skin Perfector BB Cream SPF 15

Garnier Skin Renew BB Cream

I've used several Garnier products in the past and have always been fairly impressed by their efficacy. I've been wanting to try a BB cream for some time now to see how it would work with my complexion (fair/light). After applying it, I was really amazed how it did indeed even out my skin and made it look dewy and radiant! I only needed a little blush and some mascara to finish up my total makeup application. It did take a little more effort to remove it then with just facial cleanser. I had to use a washcloth before I finally felt I had removed it all. But it worked great and the price is affordable. A little bit goes a long way too! Go get a tube!!!
