ROC 10 WEEK REVIEW!
I recently passed on some wonderful RoC Skincare products to a willing participant who used them for a 10 week period. She gave me her review, which is honest and true......he he that totally just rhymed! Anyways, keep reading below for her findings!!!
I have used several of the ROC skincare products consistently for 10 weeks as a trial. Here are my opinions of the products I've used:
SPF 30
I used this every morning on my entire face, neck and upper chest. It's pretty creamy and feels nice but when I put it on it leaves my face kind of shiny like it's greasy. I found that if I waited about 20-30 minutes before putting on any foundation or powder the shine had gone down and my makeup went on smoothly.
What I loved about this product is the spf factor worked excellent. I was outside for 10-14 hours many days in full sun and this is the only product I used, no additional sunscreen. I did not get burned anywhere on my face other than slight redness on my nose.
I used this at night after taking my makeup off. It's a nice creamy texture, not too greasy, and went on nicely. I liked how soft it made my skin feel and the smooth look it achieved by using it nightly.
The main wrinkles that I'm dealing with are slight lines around my eyes and a deep line between my eyebrows. I can't say that I've seen a significant decrease in these lines during the time I've used these products, but my skin has definitely looked smoother by consistent use of the cream. If the lines were deeper I may have noticed more of an impact but (luckily!) they're still very slight. So hopefully this product will keep them from getting noticeably worse.
I used these each night to remove my makeup and sometimes in the morning just to refresh for the day before applying the moisturizer. I liked that the the disks were very large and often I could use 1 disk more than once since I don't wear a lot of makeup.
There is a smooth side and an exfoliating side but honestly I could hardly tell the difference, they were both very mild and didn't scratch at all. My face was a little red after cleansing with them so I would have to wait a few minutes before applying anything else. I really liked these since disks since they're very handy and they lather a lot of you want them to so you can feel like you're getting very clean.
I made the mistake of trying to see if they would take off my eye makeup (even though it doesn't advertise them as eye makeup remover) and it made my eyes sting for quite a while, so keep them away from your eyes!
I would definitely buy these again and they would be perfect for traveling.

Too-Faced 3-Way Lash Liner REVIEW!!!
LOVING THIS LITTLE DANDY!!!
LADIES, YOU HAVE GOT TO ORDER ONE OF THESE TOO-FACED WONDERS!!
*It's easy to use as a lash filler
*It stays put and dries in an instant
*Does NOT run or smear
I used it as a thin lower lash liner as well and it's a dream!!! GREAT for making those lower and upper lashes seem fuller and thicker. In the summer I hate wearing a lot of makeup, usually all I do is line my lash lines and maybe put some mascara on, and this 3-Way tool is great because it fills in my over 40 thinning lashes so I don't look like I have ghost lashes!!
HUGE THUMBS UP ON THIS NEW PRODUCT!!!

Curse of the Anonymous Commenter
Well beauties, it seems I have someone who prefers to leave mean comments, anonymously.....OF COURSE! But then sense and sensibility kicks in and they see the error of their ways and quickly remove their comment from my blog, but what Mr/Mrs "Anonymous" doesn't realize is that I get those comments via email as well, AND that THEIR web site is listed at the bottom of their comment........OOOOOPS!
Listen, if you don't like my blog, because as you said, "All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you can fix if you weren't too busy looking for attention" O.k., not even sure what all that meant, LOL, but if you don't like my blog which is CLEARLY for over 40 women struggling with the process of aging, and how to make it a little less pain full, here's a great tip.....................DON'T READ IT!!!!!!
So here's to hoping you have a better day tomorrow, and maybe think about using your time to be kind to someone, not needlessly bitter. Muah!

TEMPTU "Body Camo"!!
Praise the Lord and pass the bisquits....could it be true? No more ugly embarassing spider veins or bruises??? I have GOT to try this AIR pod Body Camo Leg & Body Cover!!!! I already use the Temptu pro system for my summer makeup application when the humidity is a beast because it is almost 98% sweat resistant, and now I can cover those gastly things on my legs!!!
You may just want to invest in a Temptu AIRbrush Makeup system, you can find them at your local Sephora, or order from www.Temptu.com. They will run you on the average, $225.00 - $295.00 not counting your AIR pod makeup. And with a little practice, you could be enjoying those hott summer night's.... minus the makeup meltdown face!!
