Products I Love

Ok. I don't usually endorse a lot of products but these are a few that I feel I need to rave about for a moment!

1: EOS products...yes all of them. Evolution of Smooth is a new-ish (at least new to me) brand of organic, paraben free products. They make a chapstick, shaving lotion, hand lotion, and body lotion.  I have personally only tried the chapstick and shaving lotion but I am in love and will certainly try the others! First, the chapstick, not only is it cute, unique, and tasty, it is completely moisturizing and it seems to help actually heal the lips...not just layer wax over them.  Now for the shaving lotion...AMAZING! I ALWAYS get razor burn/bumps in at least a couple spots on my legs after shaving...not anymore! Seriously! This stuff is so moisturizing, it claims you can even shave dry. I didn't even need to put on lotion afterwards to avoid itching (which is something else I USED to experience after every shave).  And it comes in a plastic, recyclable bottle (no more rust ring!) I know it's sad that the thought of no more rust ring is really what prompted me to buy this but...oh, well. Needless to say, I will never buy another brand of shaving cream. And, EOS shaving lotion is the same price as those other brands. 

2: M.A.C. blush and bronzer - I have such a hard time finding colors of blush to match my complexion since I have such pink undertones.  Everything just seems too pink to layer over pink or too orange-y to blend with my pinks.  M.A.C may be expensive but the range of colors they have could match any tone! I have finally found my blush for life! As for the bronzer, I actually use it as a sculpting powder (again, my pale complexion makes sculpting powders and other drug store bronzers too dark and orange-y).  This is amazing! It's light but you can build it up as dark as you want. I LOVE it!

3: Cosmedix Refine - For those who know me, you know I struggle with my complexion and break outs.  I have recently overhauled my routine and am seeing significant results! It's been a slow process but I feel like something is finally working and not just a "quick fix." This retinol product is doing most of the work, I believe.  Again, expensive but worth it! It basically sloughs off dead skin. You use a tiny amount 2-3 times per week, so it lasts forever.  My skin is looking great as far as bumps go and now it's slowly getting rid off the red marks left behind by the acne. I've been using it for about 6 weeks though (like I said, a long process)! 

Just thought I'd share my two cents!
Like always, enjoy what is to come and laugh every chance you get!
