This One Is a 2-in-1 Face Treat!

The LiZ EARLE line is being touted as Britain’s best kept secret and if her Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit is any indication of the quality of the line, I’m a believer. I’ve always been a big fan of the washcloth when it comes to cleaning my face. I use a fresh one every night with whichever cleanser I am using at the moment and the fact that this one includes using one as part of the process makes me think they know what’s up. The cleanser is a cream and contains almond milk, rosemary, chamomile, and cocoa butter among others. After working the cream in the skin, work the muslin cloth that you’ve steeped in hot water (make sure you squeezed the water out first) around the face. This is the polishing part of the course and is perfect to help remove all your makeup at the end of the day. And now you’ve cleanser and exfoliated at the same time! After cleaning your face, rinse the cloth in cool water and remove the cleanser. I think because this is a cream, I felt no tightness in my skin after rinsing. And the cloth can be washed in the machine and reused. We love reusable beauty! Just looking around the web to find out more info about the line, I read some of the reviews on hsn, and I don’t think I’ve seen such a high rating of customer reviews for a product. One user even said this is a really great product if you have sensitive skin so there you go.

DDF Helps Brighten

DDF wants to help you kill-two-birds-with-one-stone – protect the skin from UV rays and help lighten spots already on the face. Protect and Correct UV Moisturizer SPF 15 contains their own Micro-Radiance Complex, which is three powerful ingredients known to lessen the look of facial flaws. I tried to find out what these three ingredients were but surprisingly couldn’t find anything online. Hmmmm. I’m guessing one is the very popular hydroquinone but I don’t know for sure. What I do know is that this one also contains vitamin A and citric acid, both of which help lighten the skin. I used this one to the last drop and it did seem to lessen the appearance of this one spot on my chin but the overall radiance it gave my skin is pretty fantastic. And as the name states, it protects against UVA and UVB rays. I just wish this one had a higher SPF.

This Is For The Lip Butter Without Color

I have not tried this oe but am in love with the Guava Lip Butter. It's not your average consistancy of a balm. it's more of a creamy-butter-gel. And what I like the most is my lip fits perfectly inside, top lip and bottom lip. I'm not a fan of using my finger to apply balms. Love this!

Nice Addition To Your Beauty Routine

I like this little tear drop sponge although I do wish it was bigger. The packaging is a total waste though so I have to score it lower overall.

A Throw Back To The Good Ol Days

of feeling like a lady. A puff-puff here and a puff-puff there. I love applying this one right before I head out for a night on the town. The scent is pleasant and doesn't interfere with my perfume, which is a big plus. The shimmer is sublte and not kid-like.

Nice Price For Daily Shampoo

think I’ve met one female in my lifetime that I know of that does not or has not colored their hair. It’s almost a right of passage. So if you color, keep it looking fresh and vibrant as long as you can. Using an everyday shampoo is one way to kill it fast so make sure you use one with color support and there are a lot of them to choose from on the shelves. One I’m liking right now is L’OREAL’s new Vive Pro Shampoo for Color Treated Hair that’s Dry or Damaged ($4.99/13oz). There are no SLS’s inside, and the formula is made with two UV-filters and anti-oxidants, like vitamin E, to protect your hair color. I’m also a really good judge on hair conditioners and this one’s partner, Vive Pro Conditioning Treatment ($4.99/6.8oz), is a great detangler; probably one of the best drugstore ones I’ve ever used. And it also has UV filters and anti-oxidants to help keep color rich. Small warning - Some may not like the fruity smell of the products. I didn’t think it was overpowering at all but there were a few reviews on the ecommerce sites where people complained about it

Nice Quality

It's not cheap but it's a good quality styling balm to get that piecey look to the hair. Best for short hair and leaves no crunchy. For us with longer hair, use it on the ends.

GREAT Basic ES Quad

Getting ready to feature this one on my blog. These four colors are perfect basics. For some reason I'm always looking for the a great all over the lid shade and the Generosity (top left in the photo) is the perfect matte one. And the Wisdom (bottom right in photo) is a nice crease color.
