Randomness

 

 

I've been using this fantabulous toothpaste for a week and just had to share.  I actually got a free sample when I place my last order with this website… and YES they've officially hooked me [guess that's the point of sending samples] !   So I know it's not on the cheap side but you only have one set of teeth, right?  Would love to know if any of you out there have been using Super Smile and what you think of it after longterm usage…:)

** NO,I'm not being paid to say any of this, but I'd be more than happy if Super Smile or Dermstore would like to compensate me…say maybe a lifetime supply???? 

 

 

W O N D E R B A R is Wonderful!

 
Okay, so I must confess…my skin has been completely out of control since the early part of this year.  I was sick of using harsh acidic cleansers so I decided to give the W O N D E R B A R a chance after reading a post from this blog.  I ♡ed that it was all natural and way less complicated than my previous regimen.  Not to mention it was an exfoliator, cleanser, moisturizer, and toner all in ONE.  WOW!!!  

I confess, it originally seemed like a high price to pay for a single bar of soap, but after I considered that I would no longer need to buy my old cleanser [$30], toner [$30], serum [$63], lotion [$190], and scrub [$75]…it really seemed like the more affordable solution.

NOW, DOES IT WORK?????  

I've been using the Wonderbar for 2 months and have seen a dramatic difference in my skin tone and complexion.  My pores have been reduced to almost nothing [quite an accomplishment with my oily skin], and it has drastically reduced my acne + blemishes.  If you don't believe me, try it for yourself!!

Now if I could just find a good SPF that doesn't clog pores and doesn't cost $100.  Any suggestions???

 

*And N O, Wonderbar has not paid me to post about their product.  However, I'd certainly take a free sample or two if they'd like to send some my way:)

Eco-Chic

 

Check out these great bamboo makeup brushes and cork makeup bags found at Target.  I think these would make a great gift for any "beauty diva" or maybe even a nice gift for mom at Mother's Day.  I mean, who doesn't need a new set of brushes?

  Totally digging this new Chanel nail colour straight from their Spring 2010 Runway.  Particulière :: a pale shade of taupe/grey that is soft, subtle and understated.  Perfect with spring neutrals, think tone-on-tone.  LOVE it!!!  I think it is effortlessly chic and infinitely wearable.  Purchase online here.  What do you think?  Will you be sporting this new shade.....?
 

  

[love it with this classic Chanel black/ivory ensemble and even with the grey tweed, yummy]

Your Skin Will Thank You

 

I've been a devoted follower of Laura Mercier beauty products.  Convinced that I can't leave the house without applying both this eyeliner and secret brightener because both are instant eye openers even if you don't have time for anything else.  And especially when you've stayed up too late the night before welcoming the New Year combined with a little too much pink bubbly to celebrate 2010 { my plans exactly }....!

        
 
 Black Ebony Eye Liner and Secret Brightener #1. 
 

I recently received the Body Quad as a gift from a longtime BFF and have been pampering myself daily with each of the products in this collection.  Maybe it's the almond/coconut fragrance that reminds me of an island getaway or the fact that my skin is just thanking me after each application. One word to best describe Laura Mercier Bath & Body would be Luxe.  

Guess the point is that we all deserve to pamper ourselves every now and then.  Always remember to take some time out for yourself even when your day seems to have no end in sight.  I think I'll make that one of my New Year's Resolutions ~ Make more time for ME in 2010!!

Oh, and if you are looking for THE best lipstick, one that won't make your lips peel and dry out, check out Laura Mercier's Sheer Lip Colour.  A revolutionary product that hydrates your lips with Vitamin A &  E.  Available in numerous colors, but my favorites are Brown Sugar and Courtisane both found at Sephora.
