TESTING A NEW PRODUCT!! RODAN AND FIELDS SKIN CARE LINE!

We are all looking for the next best thing in makeup and skincare right?  Well, I was contacted by a friend of a friend to try the Rodan + Fields Dermatologists line. Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, creators of the Proactiv line are now the anti-aging company to watch!
 
This company offers:
REVERSE= For brown spots, dullness and sun damage
UNBLEMISH= for acne and post acne marks
ANTI-AGE= for wrinkles, pores and loss of firmness
SOOTHE= for sensitive, irritated skin and facial redness

I purchased the Reverse Regimen due to the fact that I have blotchy skin tone, some sun damage and a brown spot that laughs hysterically at me every time I look in the mirror!!  This regimen proclaims to exfoliate, lighten, brighten and protect the skin for a more even tone and texture, and it was recognized by Allure Magazine's "A List" (one of my fav's)!

Before #1

Before #2

 Today I start my new skincare venture with a hopeful heart and empty wallet.  The price for this 4 step wonder treatment was $160.00(Merry Christmas to me!) and it does have a 60 day money back guarantee which they state that their return rate is less than .3%.  I'm very excited to try these products and hopefully I can report back to you with AMAZING, AMAZING results in the near future!!!!  If you are interested in trying their products, let me know and I will put you in contact with the adorable women who introduced me!!!

Be sure to check out their website, they offer so many more products for us lovely ladies who are in need of a little umph and help in our ever so changing skin!!!

Review results and ANOTHER PRODUCT TRIAL!!

HEY!  Well, I finished up my review of the Lancome "Renergie Lift Volumetry Neck Cream"
that I posted about on April 15th.  And I have to say that the only real difference that I could tell was not in wrinkle reduction but in the overall appearance of my neck.  I do not really have wrinkles to speak of on my neck so I can not judge this product too harshly for that, I have more lines from side to side.  The lines did not change in appearance, but the feel of my skin took on a really nice softness, I had a few little bumps that you couldn't see but I could feel, and they have went away.  So if I had more product to use over an extended period of time, I would probably see more of a prominent difference in my neck lines.

AND NOW!!!  I have a great new product that Lancome has launched called "Bright Expert" Dark spot corrector and radiance activator.  It stimulates the skins natural clarity by erasing visible signs of hyperpigmentation and re-polishing the skin's surface.  You use this over the entire face both a.m. & p.m. before applying your moisturizer.  I am SUPER EXCITED about trying this product, I have a really big "brown" type spot on my right cheek that bugs the ever loving daylights out of me and I pray that this Lancome product helps this over 40 makeup junkie's skin!!!  Wish me luck!!!

HMMM, DIOR OR LOREAL??? AN OVER 40 MAKEUP JUNKIE REVIEW!!

SOOOOO, I have been preoccupied and haven't been able to devote time to my precious makeup blog...and for that I am very sorry!  BUT, I do have a GREAT review/comparison that I think your gonna just LOVE and appreciate!!
I have been trying a couple of Dior's mascara's as I am searching for something other than my "Go To" wonderful, but sometimes undelivering Definicils by Lancome.  I am officially cheating on Lancome......don't tell!  So I went to the Dior counter and purchased the ever so popular DiorShow Black Out Mascara.......can I say NOT IMPRESSED!!!!  Ended up taking it back actually, it did not do one thing better than my Definicils.  I want lengthening mascara and this did not deliver and for the cost of $24.00 it should have done wonders!  As I was returning at the counter one of the Dior reps approached me to give me a heads up on the Dior Show Extase Mascara........LOVE , LOVE THIS MASCARA!!!!!!!  It does what it says it will do which is lengthen, volumize and really make these over 40 lashes look amazing!  The wand is a  dual-fiber tiered brush which looks a little different but definitely performs very well!!  The price of this mascara is a whopping $28.00....I'm an idiot I know!

SO THEN!! I have been reading all about this L'Oreal Lash Out Lengthening & Separating Mascara in magazine after magazine after magazine so I picked one up at Kroger while grocery shopping.  WOO-HOO BEAUTIES......this mascara ROCKS!!!!!  I purchased the waterproof formula in black and it TOTALLY DELIVERS in the lengthening department!!!  AND IT WAS ONLY $6.00!!!!   YES, I said SIX BUCKS!!!!!  Oh, oh, oh I am a happy, happy girl!  So if you are on the mad hunt for a new and improved lengthening mascara......
THIS ONE IS IT!!

Over 40 Makeup Junkie URBAN DECAY REVIEW!

SO, I was turned on to these little fat beauties by a free lancer the other day as I ran into her at Macy's after we had both unknowingly been at Sephora!  These Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencils($20.00) are THE BOMB!!

I LURVES THEM A LOT!

These fat little gems are crease-proof and waterproof and can be used as eyeshadow or liner!!!  You gotta be quick though, they are blend able if you get to it quickly!  I purchased the 24/7 Shadow Blending Brush that Urban Decay recommends for this product($16.00)which aids in the quick blending process!  I purchased these in "Sin"(GREAT inner eye or base color) and "Delinquent"(beautiful plum) and will definitely be buying more.....you gotta try these!!!! They are so much easier than the standard eye shadow, bigger application area is great and I love the colors!  A couple of them I played around with at Sephora had some great sparkle flakes in them which were just so pretty, but I started safe to see if I liked them,..... and I sooooo do!!!  These should go into the "Makeup for Dummies" book (if there was one) as one of the easiest shadows to apply!!!

So a HUGE THUMBS UP for the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide on Shadow Pencil!!!!  

Woo-Hoo!!!

TESTING A NEW PRODUCT!!

Alrighty ladies, I stopped by the Lancome counter today and chatted with my favorite Lancome diva Miss  Rachel.  I asked her about the new Lancomes Renergie Lift Volumetry Neck Cream.   I read about this product from a fabulous ladies website for us over 40 beauties and was VERY interested!!  She gave me a great sample so I am gonna be your guinea pig and try it out, I will hopefully fall madly, over the moon in love with it.....cause Lord knows I need a little lift in the ole neck area!!!

It claims  to aid the neck in looking "lifted" and helps the decollete to appear smoother and more toned.  And within a four week period to visibly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and the neck contour appears refined!!!  CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE!!!! Well, I will let ya know if after the test period I come out looking like a Victoria's Secret model......hey, THAT should have been one of my bucket list wishes!!!!!!
