Weleda Iris Hydrating Day Cream

A few months ago in my beauty boxes, it seemed like Weleda Iris Hydrating Day Cream was a staple. I received a sample in all of my boxes. I consider myself the luck one now. I am in love with this day cream. It is for combination to dry skin types. I looked on their website for a little more information. With Iris root this cream can help your skin naturally balance itself. It is a soothing moisturizer packed with fatty acids, carotene and vitamins A, E and F, these protect and naturally balanced your skin against harmful environmental influences. Organic cocoa seed butter nourishes your skin into supple perfection. Your is luminous and moisturized softness you can see and feel. It is also a great base for tinted moisturizer, foundation or poweder. My skin feels moisturized all day. The price is great only $20.00. I highly recomed this moisturizer. They also have another version for oily to combination. Now that I am down to my last sample, I will be ruinning out to get this.

Tip 2

Suoer soft feet. At night apply Aquaphor (sold had most grocery stores and large mass stores). Put socks on and leave on while you sleep. You can do the same for your hands.

Volume

Craving volume, in humidity? It is possible!!! I have found a great combo that makes my volume stay in humid weather. The 2 products are from Aveda. On towel dried hair, I first put Phomollient™ Styling Foam in my hair. You want a good golf ball to baseball size. Concentrate on the roots, and spread through hair. The next step is to spray Aveda's Volumizing Tonic on the roots. I proceed to dry my hair using a large round brush. The result is tons of volume. You can finish off with hairspray. Lightly spray all over. I love Aveda's Air Control or Paul Mitchell's Super Clean Spray.

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes

Simple is a brand new line that recently launched. I love the concept; Simple never uses harsh chemicals, dyes or perfumes. Using only the purest possible ingredients, even on the most sensitive skin. I have a couple of products and decided to try the wipes first. Since I was traveling this is a great way to take make-up off on a late night or even refresh in the morning. I did not like these wipes. There are a dozen other wipes which work better. I used an eye make-up remover, but needed 3 wipes to somewhat take make-up off and then had to finish with a face wash. I tried them a few times with different make-ups and all 3 times the same. I would recommend looking for a different brand of wipes. If you have sensitive skin, a baby wipe works better. Hopefully the next product of theirs I will like.

I am Back!!

I have been a bad blogger this month with 2 long work trips. So I am back.

I had a formal event on my last trip, and had no time to really do anything about my light skin. I quickly reached for something I got in 1 of my beauty boxes. Comodynes self-tanning towelettes. The claim They provide an even tan on face and body in just 3 hours, giving a natural, healthy skin tone with no streaking. Their formula, with a moisturizing complex, eliminates the feeling of tightness and keeps the skin soft. Their perfume leaves no aroma on the skin. The Self-Tanning towelettes are safe, unlike UV rays their formula does not penetrate the deep layers of the skin. The tan tone depends on the skin type and their intensity adapts to provide natural results on both fair and dark skins. Recommended for all skin types. Paraben-Free. So I said a quick prayer that I did not turn orange since I did this 12 hours before my flight. Luckily I did not have to show any leg because the towelette only covered my upper body. I opened the package and started swiping away. I did exfoliate before for a nice even tan. I did not notice any difference after 3 hours, but when I woke in the morning, I had a nice golden look. It was not too dark and I only had 1 streaky patch on my inner arm which may have been from washing my hands. A gradual self tanner was able to fix. 1 week later and I am still looking like I have a little color. I have always been a little hesitant on using a towlette, but it was great. I did not have the mess of the cream, and it really did not give me the smell most tanners do. After checking the website, it said use 2-3 days in a row for a deeper tan.

Tip 1

This week I will give very useful beauty tips. Clarifying shampoo. This is a must at least every 2 weeks. This will rid your hair of any product that may build on the hair shaft and will also give your scalp a cleanse for build-up as well. Make sure to condition with a good moisturizing conditioner and rinse with cool water.

Priti NYC's Soy Polish Remover

Priti NYC's Soy Nail Polish Remover Wipes are 100% biodegradable. They are non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, and contain no petroleum ingredients they are also infused with organic lemongrass essential oil. I received them in my Beauty Box 5 box last month. I will say I was extremely skeptical. I was in a pinch and was out of cotton balls, so I grabbed this little sample to take off a deep red polish on my nails. When you take it out of the package it has a thin wet wipe, still very skeptical. It had a yummy lemongrass smell. So here goes, I was dead wrong this is amazing stuff. My polish came off in 1 wipe. It even left a oil behind so I could rub in to nourish my cuticles. I used this 1 wipe to take off all the polish on my ten nails. This is truly amazing stuff. You can my a bottle for $22.00 or individual travel pouches, 10 for $10.00. This stuff is great.
