Natural Glow Firming Moisturizer


I know I've talked about Jergen's Natural Glow Express a lot, but I am newly obsessed with the firming moisturizer from the same line. This lotion, unlike the express, has a subtle shimmer when applied and absorbs fairly quickly.  While the smell leaves something to be desired, by skin felt smooth and moisturized after I applied it.  I am very fair and this tans my skin perfectly, no streaks and no discoloration.

A perfect foundation


Today I stopped by local superstore and decided to spend yet more money on cosmetics (what can I say, I'm an addict!) and stumbled upon Neutrogena Healthy Glow Sheers.  Naturally  I had to give it a try, so I ran out to my car and immediately applied the product (using a sponge).  At first I wasn't really feeling it, it didn't seem to give me any coverage, however, once I got inside and took a second glance I was amazed how smooth and even my skin looked! While my skin has gotten a little oily since I applied it but I think if you brush on a little translucent powder it should be fine!

Paraben Free Moisturizer

There has been quite a bit of buzz lately regarding paraben and the negative effects it can have such as increasing the speed of aging.  As a green girl at heart, I have always been in search of a fabulous paraben free moisturizer.  I have been using Giovani Raspberry winter for a few months now and absolutely love it! It moisturizes better than any lotion I have ever tried, smells great and is free of harsh preservatives! If your skeptical at least give it a try!

Pronto Dry Shampoo

I have always been one of those girls who feels the need to wash her hair everyday.  Not only do I have short hair, but it also gets oily very quickly! I have just discovered my miracle hair product! Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo is a powder based shampoo that you squeeze on down close to your roots and rub in and voila salon perfect hair without water! I tried it last night after I had worked out and my hair looked like it had just been washed!  The yummy lemon verbena scent doesnt hurt either!

Fabulous Lip Gloss

I am in love with Mark's Glow Baby Glow lip gloss.  This minty-fresh lip gloss is the perfect size and they can be attached to each other! This non-sticky gloss has a light, minty scent and translucent color. The gloss is easy to apply and leaves lips feeling super moisturized!  The only downside is the gloss does not last as long as I would like...it has to be reapplied about every 20 minutes but at $5.00 a tube is totally worth it!

Got 2 B smooth operator is my new favorite product....I know I say that daily, but this is seriously it!  It not only smoothed my often times frizzy/damaged hair, it also enhanced my highlights! The first morning I used it several of my sorority sisters asked if I had gotten my hair done, which is amazing considering I haven't had in done in months!!!  Apply this creamy formula (dime size is plenty) to damp hair and style as usual! You can also apply it to dry hair before or after heat styling.  This wonder-product claims to protect hair from UV damage as well as seal in moisture...what more could a girl as for?

Primer


So yesterday at my, what feels like weekly, trip to Ulta, I stumbled upon this lovely product.  I have tried the plain old Photo Finish several times before and have loved it, however I had never seen one with SPF.  I decided I HAD to try it and plunked down the $17 for the tiny tube of Photo Finish UVA/UVB 15 with Dermaxyl (a peptide complex which is proven to reduce wrinkles),which is a fairly large feat for a poor college student.  This morning, I woke up 1 5 minutes before class, as usual, and without washing my face slapped this on and began applying my makeup.  My face felt incredibly soft after I applied Photo Finish and my makeup slid on SO easily.  I am already in my second class on the day and my makeup still looks perfect, no shine in sight!
