Beauty Product Reviews

Favorite moisturizer - and I'm a junkie!

I was loyal to Dermalogica's Active Moist for nearly 10 years. While I am still hooked on all their products and use dozens of them regularly (eek - it's true!) I felt the oil-free moisturizer wasn't providing enough hydration while their other moisturizers were a bit too heavy (though if I mixed a little hydrating booster into the Active Moist it worked well, but I was looking for an all-in-one product).

Embryolisse is dynamite. It's great for all skin types. I am shocked at the versatility! Apply in light, upward strokes and let it penetrate your skin. Once it sinks in, your skin is as soft as silk - honestly. I really can't recommend this one enough!

Versatile and perfect!

I am a sucker for tinted moisturizers, and this one takes the cake. It definitely "illuminates" your skin while providing the adequate coverage for a tinted moisturizer. Every time I apply it, I feel like my skin is glowing! A light SPF is the icing on the cake. Two shades seems to fit most skin types, and beige works well for me. If you're looking for light coverage, this is a great one to try!

Achieve a DEEP clean!

This product goes directly on dry skin before your cleanser to remove surface debris. I am so hooked!!! Your skin will feel so amazing if you use this before your nightly face wash. Nothing like having a deep, deep clean!!

Best shampoo ever!!

I am so obsessed with Alterna. I have hooked all of my family - and friends - on the Caviar line. Anti-aging?! UV protection + color hold!? Weightless volume?? I seriously can't rave about this one enough.

Cheeky Chops - best yellow shade!

I love the colors of BUTTER London (Yummy Mummy, Trout Pout......) but Cheeky Chops is my favorite shade of all-time - it is the perfect canary yellow!! I love BUTTER but I have to say it doesn't last quite as long as other brands. But free of chemicals? It's a fair trade off!

Talc-free powder...hooray!

I absolutely can't live w/out dry shampoo. I'm partial to powders over sprays, and I will use this product to keep my locks fresh for days on end (seriously, days. Like five). My #1 can't live without product!

My fav all-time beach spray!

I have tried every beach spray on the market. This is hands down my favorite for soft, tousled, NOT crunch waves. I love spritzing this on hair the second day after a wash - makes me feel like Gisele ;-)
