Inspiration: Favorite beauty products...

I thought I would share a few of my tried and true products I don't like to be without.  You have heard a lot about Argan Oil in the press and there is no better or more pure and authentic than Josie Maran's. Face cream, face oil, body butter, creamy blush, concealer, it's all fabulous.

 Comfort Zone is an Italian company (I used to sell their products) and lucky for me, one of my very good friends works for them and gifts me with various creams and potions. This Tranquility Blend oil is delicious, smells heavenly and can be a perfume or body oil. 

 I love a great Mondavi wine, but did you know they produce a skincare line aptly titled 'Napa Valley?' I found this 'Reserve Blend Eye Cream' at Target and love the 'grape seed age protection' as the main ingredient.

Last, but not least is the best foundation, concealer, dark circle eraser I have ever found by IT Cosmetics.  A company that works with plastic surgeons has to be good right?  'Bye Bye Under Eye' is no joke...it has a blend of collagen and vitamins C and K and really works. Your skin will glow!  I have tried too many similar products that don't work. Trust me, this one will.

What are your favorites? I hope I have provided you with some inspiration to look and feel great.

Beauty product du jour...

Stepping out of the design box again today, I want to share a beauty product that is fantastic I have tried recently. I am not getting paid to endorse this product, these are products I am using or have tried that I think you may want to try as well.

I was in my local CVS, and prices being what they are for skin care - i.e., rather high, I am always on the lookout for reasonable products that are high quality but don't cost the earth. I used to sell several lines of skincare, so I am familiar with skincare and love learning about new lines. I came across Lumene, a Scandinavian company that offers little trial products for $3.99 .  A 'time freeze' night cream that looked like something my skin could use at the right price.  I love it! If you are looking for a cream that will firm, tone and make your skin look brighter, this is it.  It is light, not greasy, goes on easily and is fine for sensitive skin. I highly recommend it. I recently bought the day firming cream with SPF, and have listed a couple of other products I want to try.  Would you try Lumene? Is it what you need?

This is a great cream for daily use...

I want to try this soon -


Vitamin C can be drying, so use with caution if you have
sensitive skin -


This is the first product I tried and I love it -

I would love to try these for my night routine -
You will notice that the prices are very reasonable as well -

Beauty product du jour...

I am stepping out of the design zone to bring you this message about a fantastic product I tried this week and can't believe how great it is! I wanted to share it with you and I am not getting paid to promote it.

I was shopping in my local Wal-Mart and I'm always looking for great shampoos for color-treated hair, when I found a 'Yes to Cucumbers' bottle on sale for $2.50 (regularly $10.00). It smells great  and thought I'd give it a try as its 'all natural' without the usual harsh ingredients found in shampoos (sulfate, parabens and petroleum). Well, let me tell you, my hair has NEVER looked better! I even skipped a styling product (I forgot) and my hair was LITERALLY shiny, bouncy and the color looked great. I have fine, straight hair but I have a lot of it, its not really thin. I also skipped washing the next day and my hair has never looked better, not greasy or weighed down like it usually does. Seriously, try this product and let me know what you think - I am amazed.  The 'Yes to Carrots' brand has skincare, body care, lip care, baby care and SPF care so do check it out online, I don't think you will be disappointed!


This product ROCKS!!


I didn't even buy the conditioner and my hair still looked
great...


I may try this product next...and its an award winner -


Who doesn't want great looking skin as you age??


Check out this range of SPF products for the whole bod - ;-))
Definitely on my 'Gotta Have These' list!!


Have a great weekend and try some new products to get out of a rut, you'll be
glad you did!!
