Oil Be Gone!

March 19, 2010

If you suffer from oily skin, Carol’s Daughter has concocted a trio of products that will tackle unwanted “glistening” called, Wash Away the Oil. This new 3-piece set includes a face wash, face toner and face lotion. I haven’t been using all three together yet, but I’ve been using the face lotion by itself and it is absolutely wonderful!


Wash Away the Oil Set available at www.carolsdaughter.com for $55

I have super oily skin in my T-zone and this lightweight lotion marvelously absorbs the oil leaving my face hydrated, but not greasy. I’m looking forward to using all three products together, but right now I’m pleasantly pleased with the lotion.

Have you tried this new trio? If you have oily skin, what products do you use to combat it?

Lashes to Love!

March 16, 2010

As a woman who loves playing up my lashes, Maybelline’s Lash Stiletto Voluptuous is my new go-to mascara. This mascara promises to create dramatic length and it delivers. Not only does the curved brush add length, the bristles also make lashes appear thicker, darker and bolder. Plus, the pretty red tube packaging stands out in your makeup bag making it easy to find.

When all of the other countless mascaras claim to plump, curl and volumize – Maybelline is the only brand that consistently provides my lashes with the look that I love!

Have you ever tried Lash Stiletto Voluptuous? One lucky reader will win one! Simply leave a comment and a winner will be selected randomly and announced later this week.

Sparkle in Sequins this Spring!

March 11, 2010

Gone are the days when sequins were reserved for the holidays, special occasions, or nights out on the town. This spring season it’s going to be quite common to add a bit of sparkly pizazz with sequins to everyday ensembles. Coupled with jeans or a cardigan, sequins can spice up ordinary cotton tanks and tops creating a dose of casual glamour.

Their new C Me Blush Lip Tints provide moisture and conditioning while enhancing your natural look with sheer shades that work well on all complexions.

Butter Up!

March 5, 2010

From Beyonce to Vanessa Williams, Kim Kimble has styled and trimmed the tresses of some of the hottest celebrities in the business. Being one of the premiere stylists to the stars, a few years ago Kimble decided to share her expertise with the everyday woman by creating Kim Kimble Hair Care Systems available at Target. The line includes scalp treatments, shampoos, styling creams and everything in between. My favorite is the Hair Butter. This moisturizing cream softens, strenghtens and smooths strands while providing a slight sheen. Plus, one of the key ingredients is olive oil, which is always beneficial for hair.


Kim Kimble Hair Care Systems Hair Butter available at www.target.com for $11.99

Have you tried any of the Kim Kimble Hair Care Systems? Have you tried any new hair products lately? Please share.
