Sun Bum Continuous Spray Sunscreen Review

With May being Skin Cancer/Melanoma Awareness month, now seems like the perfect time if any to talk sunscreen! As you may have read earlier this month, I was diagnosed with Melanoma just a couple of years ago. Life after Melanoma requires a lot more preparation when spending time Read more

EnvyDerm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper

As I get older I notice the collagen making a prompt exit from my lips leaving them looking lifeless and thin. The best way to combat thinning lips (or if you have thin lips to begin with) is to keep them hydrated and to use a lip plumper. When Read more

No3 Berry Face Oil Review

Can I use face oil if I have combination skin? Of course you can, simply avoid pore-clogging oils and use only the ones intended to moisturize your face. L.A. Christine's No3 Berry Face Oil is comprised of Lingonberry, raspberry and acai berry, yet smells of an herbally sweet concoction. High Read more

it Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Powder Brush Review

IT COSMETICS POWDER BRUSH REVIEW

I am so excited to share with you the only powder brush I’ve ever used that doesn’t leave tiny little hairs stuck to my face. Yes ladies, it’s true … not a single bristle shed from it Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Powder Brush ($48) and I just want to scream it from the rooftops!  I’m pretty sure this brush is God’s gift to women who love makeup. I have tried and owned so many makeup brushes and while they’ve all had their own issues, the problem I seem to encounter over and over again is bristle shedding … but not with this brush, baby!

The fact that this brush doesn’t shed is the number one thing I love about it, but certainly not the only thing. The Heavenly Luxe Powder Brush is high-quality, luxurious, and gets the job the done! The barrel is oversized for a nice hold, the high brush hair count evenly distributes your powder, and the brush is so soft on your face. The brush itself felt unlike any other I’ve used before. The first time I used it I kept stroking it across my face without any powder because it felt so soft and enjoyable, like a gentle massage.  Read more

IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty in Plum Eyeshadow Trio!

I honestly cannot tell you how delighted I am to have found It Cosmetics. The product line is not vast and that’s a good thing; creator Jamie Kern takes her time working with  plastic surgeons to get the formulations exactly right so that each product does double duty as a treatment. This is where innovation and technology meet and marry beauties. Many of their products have made my Beauty All Star list; Brow Power Universal Eyebrow PencilBye Bye Under Eye Concealer and Bye Bye Pores HD Powder to name a few. These products are ideal for the over 40 woman–they are formulated with our issues in mind; concealing fine lines, erasing pores, dealing with thinning hair. It Cosmetics is a true friend to the over 40 woman.

Another revolutionary product is It Cosmetics Luxe anti-aging eyeshadow–I’m soooo there! Naturally Pretty eyeshadow trios are waterproof, high performance eyeshadows infused with anti-aging and age reverse technology. The trios are jam packed with hydrating ingredients including Vitamins A, C, & E. You get an anti-aging recipe in a long lasting formula!  Read more

IT Cosmetics Je Ne Sais Quoi Lipstick

The latest multi-tasking wonder from beauty innovator Jamie Kern of IT Cosmetics, is a 4-in-1 anti-aging lipstick, balm, gloss and stain. Vitality Lip Flush 4-in-1 Anti-Aging Lipsticks ($20). I love the look of a lip stain–so natural like you’ve just been eating berries. The downside to most lip stains is that they are very drying. IT Cosmetics has managed to overcome that problem by creating an all natural formula with ingredients like plum oil, cherry oil, shea butter, aloe, argan and jojoba to avoid DFLS (dry flaky lip syndrome). As if that’s not enough, there are some major anti-aging ingredients in here too. Vitamins A,C, E, Acai, Green and White Tea all work to protect and ward off free radicals, while minimizing the appearance of lip lines and wrinkles. Perfect for us over 40 women, count me in!   Read more
