<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Who among us doesn't have something to hide? That is why the right cover-up can be your best friend. My search finally ended when I came across Exuviance CoverBlend by Neostrata. This concealer gets high marks for flawless coverage of dark circles, redness, spots. Lightweight and blendable, it stays put and does not seep into lines or creases. Available in many shades - for virtually any skin tone - making it easy to find the perfect match. Not waterproof but definitely long wearing, this cover-up will not dry out your skin, nor will it clog pores or cause breakouts. Apply it and all you will see is smooth skin, free of unsightly discoloration!</span>shandy_9http://www.blogger.com/profile/05072587354057076618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189939204138105820.post-44822076849856965042011-11-30T04:02:00.001-08:002011-12-02T23:18:43.848-08:00Best Acne Treatment<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">La Roche Posay Effaclar K</span></b><br />

I apply this easily absorbed lotion to clean skin right before going to bed and wake up with fewer blemishes and clearer - thus tighter - pores. And my skin does not feel dry or irritated.

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-size: x-small;">I was out of my tried and true microdermabrasion cream - so in an act of desperation, I went to the drug store in search of something to use for the time being. I made the unfortunate decision to purchase this one, from Cosmedicine. The first thing I noticed, was that the crystals were much larger than most microdermabrasion scrubs I have used. It also felt rather chalky, almost like a clay face mask. Then there are the "stop-action" granules, made to dissolve after what seemed like just a few seconds of rubbing and the fact that it left a weird film behind. Don't be fooled by the many "positive" reviews posted all over the web - this is one supremely ineffective product.</span></span></b></div>

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Enjoy haircare line is one of my favorites. This is a great leave-in for all hair types. It moisturizes, detangles and protects each precious strand of your hair against the damage from heat styling and the sun's UV rays. Preserves hair color and prevents fading. The consistency is creamy, without being too heavy or greasy - and makes a great moisturizer for skin as well. Leaves hair smooth, frizz free and PH balanced. Sulfate free and safe for color treated hair. Also pretty economical, as a 12 oz. bottle lasts a long time.</span></b></div>

<b style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;">I decided that I would not write a review of this toothpaste until I used an entire tube. So for the last month and a half, I brushed three times per day and did not use any other whitening products. I am a sucker for new toothpaste - especially those which promise a brighter smile. With it's slick packaging and advertising, "The Hottest Thing in Whitening has Arrived" - I was anxious to start brushing! This new toothpaste contains 1% hydrogen peroxide and promises whiter teeth in one week. Well, the verdict is in and I am not impressed. After six weeks of diligent use, my teeth look exactly the same. This is quite disappointing, considering that a white strip produces noticeable results in just five minutes. Another negative is that it comes in only one flavor - wintergreen, which Colgate calls, "Sparkling Mint". </span></b><br />

</strong></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Seldom have I been so utterly disappointed in a product. After spending $30 on a 4oz bottle - I certainly expected more from this self tanner. I'm not usually bothered by the smell of sunless tanners but this one, which is supposed to be "light and delicious" had an odor that can only be described as rancid vanilla frosting. Even after five consecutive days of application, the "instant" color was almost non existent and the "tan" was a pale, yellow/orange which did not fade well. Save your money!<br /></b></span><br />

Where do I begin? To start, the color, straight out of the tube immediately evoked childhood memories of the most hated crayon of Crayola's 64 colors - "Burnt Sienna" (which I believe has since been discontinued.) For those too young to remember this ugly crayon - it was a dark, red-orange brown. Not exactly the most desirable shade for coloring or tanning! I should have stopped right there but I didn't. </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman CE'; font-weight: normal; line-height: 16px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>This over-priced nightmare was thick, difficult to apply and left behind a splotchy, streaky, orange mess. Three hours after applying, it had settled into my pores and was still rubbing off on my clothes. I have used many, many sunless tanning products and none were as awful as this one.</b></span></span></span></b></div>

<br /><span style="color: #e06666;"><span style="font-size: small;">Physician's Formula blushers are top-notch and this one is no exception. The multi-toned blushing hearts are absolutely irresistible. There is a slight shimmer but just the right amount - not enough to leave you with unwanted sparkle! The compact has a separate compartment which holds a mini blush brush but I recommend using a full size natural bristle blush brush for optimum results. Swirl your brush across the entire palette, in order to get the full effect. It does have a slight fragrance but nothing overpowering. It left my cheeks flushed with a fresh, natural glow and just the right amount of soft highlights. Another plus is that it does not cause breakouts! And with a retail price of just $11 - this one is a keeper!</span></span></span></h3>

It can also be applied with a foundation brush. <br />
<br />
Upon application, it feels nice, as it is finely milled - and even dry, provided decent coverage. Within an hour, however, it had settled into my pores and fine lines - and gave my skin a very cake-y appearance. And it did not wear well, especially on my moderately oily skin. Another downfall was the color - which for some reason, seemed okay when I tested it at Sephora. I have medium skin with olive undertones so I chose No. 3 and it was very, very yellow and un-natural.<br />
<br />
The price is $40 so again, a huge waste of money!</span></span>shandy_9http://www.blogger.com/profile/05072587354057076618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9189939204138105820.post-31609030301597108502011-08-04T19:23:00.000-07:002011-08-05T00:51:58.878-07:00Worst: Strivectin WF<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e; font-weight: bold;">StriVectin WF<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> -</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-weight: bold;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #45818e;"> Instant Deep Wrinkle Filler</span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">is a topical serum which is supposed to instantly fill in and smooth wrinkles , such as crow's feet and frown lines as well as improve skin's texture and appearance.

Sadly, their latest is not one of them. With a name like "Million Lashes" and a shiny gold tube, I had high expectations - and using this product was a big let down. The first thing I noticed was an unpleasant, over-powering scent - rather odd for eye make-up! The brush was puny and even after three carefully applied coats, my lashes were sticky and full of clumps, with absolutely no definition. It dried like glue and flaked off into my eyes, causing substantial irritation. I do not recommend this mascara!</span></span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="background-color: #f9cb9c; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><br />
