sue devitt eye velvet.

[rhyming unintentional. maybe.]

I joined Influenster several months ago. It has been an incredibly fun and informative experience thus far. I especially enjoy being able to share great products on my blog, on twitter, and elsewhere.

JOIN INFLUENSTER!!

On another note..
Influenster was kind enough to send me Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil to try out.
I am MILDLY obsessed..okay..under-exaggeration of the century..
BEST EYE PENCIL I HAVE EVER TRIED!!!

[photo c.o. suedevitt.com]

They sent me the eye pencil in Golden Triangle:

Product description from suedevitt.com:
"Long Lasting, Water-Resistant Eyeliner Pencil
Intensify your own eye color naturally with the rich, shades and velvety formulation that glides on extra smooth for fool-proof application.Ceramide 2, Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and Nylon-12 anti-aging ingredients lock in moisture and  expand and contract with facial movements without creasing to create a long-lasting, luminous eye. The Eye Intensifier Pencil can be applied along the base of the eyelid and bottom lash line for an intense smoky look or may be used to create an effortless "quick-eye" with minimal blending for a maximum effect."

I was a little hesitant to go outside my comfort zone of black eyeliner, or black with glitter [don't judge] but I was pleasantly surprised.

This color really accented my eyes and enhanced their color. [I have light hazel eyes.] The formula glided on like a dream, and had true staying power, unlike other eyeliners I have tried that melt, rub off, or just fade away as the day or night progresses, with or without primer [I did not use any primer with this product].


VERY HAPPY CAMPER!!


I have officially switched to Sue Devitt Eyeliner, and I won't be looking back.

beta.

 I'm a convert.

Not to over-exaggerate, but the day that my Beta Wash arrived, my life, and more importantly, my skin changed forever.

 I have been using the Erno Laszlo Beta Wash, that Erno Laszlo so graciously shared with me, for the past few weeks, and I have noticed some remarkable and dramatic changes in my skin.

I have oily skin, and lately it has a bit acne prone. Stress, life, changes in lifestyle, and occasionally poor diet changes has caused those little buggers to pop up a little bit. I had tried other face washes to no avail. When this miracle in a bottle arrived, I had a good feeling, and boy was I right.

I opened the bottle, and it smells like a minty, smooth, and delicate breeze. It's refreshing and stimulating, and I was thrilled [and honored] to be trying a product with such rich and wonderful history.

Some of the more famous past clients of Erno Laszlo include: Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe [my heroine], and Greta Garbo, among many, many others.

Many current celebrities are fans, including [but not limited to]; Nicole Kidman, Jessica Biel, and Jim Carey.

Getting back to the Beta Wash..

According to Erno Laszlo's product page,

"Acne wash for normal to oily skin

Beta Wash is a powerful oil-free gel cleanser with algae extracts to detoxify the skin and chamomile to calm irritation. It also contains beta hydroxy acid, to combat breakouts, plus rosemary, sage, and myrrh - known botanical acne healers. It penetrates pores to interrupt the acne production cycle and absorbs oil without dehydrating the skin. Perfect for teenagers and adults alike" (Erno Laszlo's Beta Wash).

This product not only smells great, it delivers what it promises, and so much more.

My skin is smoother, less oily, more refined, and my pores have decreased in size.

I CAN'T get enough of the AH-mazing smell, texture, and rinsing ritual:

I am absolutely in love with this brand and this product, and I CANNOT get enough. I really look forward to trying more.

The products come in INCREDIBLY GENEROUS sizes [the Beta Wash is 6.8 oz.]

$40 for that much miracle? A STEAL.

These products pay for themselves and are very reasonable given the size, the ingredients, and the results.

It was a sincere pleasure trying this product and I thank Erno Laszlo for sharing their product with me.

The Beta Wash can be purchased directly from Erno Laszlo here:

meaningful beauty.

So, many of you have probably heard of Meaningful Beauty by Guthy-Renker by now.

Oh you haven't?
Well, let me tell you all about it.




I'm a member of influenster.com, and in their June VoxBox they sent several products. One of my personal favorites? The Meaningful Beauty collection.

This is the skincare that Cindy Crawford uses.

You can use the same products a supermodel uses! Pretty neat. And, more importantly, it truly delivers everything it promises. I was hesitant to try it, because I don't buy in to infomercial products, but I was pleasantly surprised with this line.


In my opinion, Cindy has always been a bombshell. Honestly, she looks even more beautiful at this age, and I have a sneaking suspicion this product line might have something to do with it.

My skin texture has improved dramatically. A lot of my large pores I was really starting to notice [and became self-conscious about] have shrank quite a bit. Some of the fine lines on my forehead have smoothed. I am one happy customer!!

The products smell good and a little bit goes a long, long way.

My favorite product that I have tried from this line is..

The Glowing Serum.

On days when I don't have time to put my face on I put a drop of this on my palm, let it warm up, I rub it between my palms for a second, then I rub it, very gently, on my cheeks, forehead, nose, and my chin. I look awake, alive, and I have a very healthy glow to my face. This is the best glowing product I have EVER tried.

The Best Blush..EVER.

 Like most women, I have used quite a few blushes in my time. Some left me looking like Bozo, even with the slightest, softest sweep of powder. Others just did not work with my skin color, texture, and/or tone.

The truth is most women are looking for a pretty, universally-flattering color that can be worn day to night, like most makeup products. We need versatility. We need something that complement our bone structure, our skin color, our skin tone, and our skin texture. We need a blush that makes us look alive, even when we're walking around with no sleep and a three shot espresso in our systems to try to get us through the day. We need a color that adds a healthy dose of color. Women need a blush that looks good at the office or at school, and looks good while on a date or out with the girls.

I have a few blushes that I like, but my ultimate favorite is NARS blush in Orgasm.

According to Sephora.com's description:

" Blush

What it is:
A soft, sheer pressed powder blush.

What it does:
NARS Blush offers a range of translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle pink for natural blush undertone, created to highlight the complexion.

What else you need to know:
Designed to be worn alone or layered together for more depth, NARS Blush provides a healthy glow to flatter any skintone.

-Orgasm Blush:
NARS Orgasm makes cheeks blush a perfect pinky-peach flush and subtly highlights with accents of golden shimmer. The perennially pleasing, universally flattering shade is again and again a makeup artist and beauty editor favorite."

NARS Orgasm Blush is the perfect blush, in my book anyway. Just a light sweep gives you a healthy dose a color, or you can layer it on if you are looking particularly pale and/or pasty. I have been using it for a few years now, and I don't ever tire of it. I will be buying NARS Super Orgasm soon, because I haven't tried it and I have been so thrilled with the original blush, and their other products!

Well, that's all for now boys and ghouls.

Enjoy your day!!
