Tricia Sawyer Beauty Smoke and Mirrors
This product is a great product to make smoky eyes.  It is a powder formulations with a wand.  The key to this product s in the wand that is on the tip.  It makes it very easy to create the smoky eyes that you want.  Here is a direct quote from Tricia Sawyer on how to apply this product:

"How Do You Use It? Application tips from Tricia: *First, I like to take the wand out and give it a quick little tap on the edge of the counter or something to get rid of any excess product. This is very important so you do not have any powder fall around the eye. *Then apply the wand to the eyelid and blend upward with the wand or your finger. Then take the wand without re-dipping into the product and apply just below the lower lash line. Blend using the applicator itself, your finger or a brush for a softer look.  * Use Smoke and Mirrors alone or layer it over existing eye shadows to instantly transform your eyes."

If you follow these easy instructions, it works FABULOUSLY!  Have fun with it!  This is what makeup application is all about, make something unique that is TOTALLY YOU!

Overall I give this product a 4.5 out of 5! 


Korres Wild Rose Skincare Hydration and Brightness Moisturizer -
While placing an order at Beauty.com I was intrigued by this product so I threw it in my basket.  I tried it for a month and here is my review!
For normal to dry skin types.  My initial response was that I did not care for the smell (has a very floral smell, wild rose) However, I was quite pleasantly surprised that as soon as I applied the product to my face the smell instantly went away so no issue at all.  It is a thicker, creamier product and goes on quite smooth.  Gave my face an instant moisturized feeling (2 thumbs up) and my face felt immediately smoother.  The product absorbed in my skin and I had no feeling of oiliness or stickiness.  However, I wanted to give it some time to see if I broke out or had any negative effects.  I used Korres Wild Rose 24-Hour Moisturizing & Brightening Cream twice a day for 30 days and my skin feels fabulous.  Also, I must add that because this product is so thick, I have barely used 1/4th of a jar.  Which means at $35 a jar that's less than $9 a month - can't beat that:-)  I listed the ingredients below.  All ingredients are naturally derived!
MY REVIEW IS: This product receives 5 out of 5

Lily.B Skincare Multi-Action Rescue Eye Cream - WOW is really all I can say about this eye cream!  If I ever forget to put it on, I am reminder quickly by my eyes feeling tight and dry.  I have been using this product now for about 6 months.  What I notice most about the Lily.B Ultra Eyecream is that it has essentially cleared up the dark circles and puffiness under my eyes.  Here are the list of ingredients and what they do:


  • Jojoba Oil: Extracted from the Jojoba plant, this non-comedogenic, skin soothing moisturizer helps to restore natural pH balance in the skin.
  • Apricot Kernel Oil: One of the essential oils rich in natural vitamins including vitamin A and vitamin E is soothing, moisturizing and absorbs completely.
  • Squalane: Extracted form olive oil, with rich antioxidants and deep hydrating properties.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: A natural molecule that has the unique ability to attract and retain moisture deep in the skin thereby reducing the appearance of fine line and wrinkles and helping to improve skin tone and texture.
  • Vitamin K: Known for its ability to help lessen the appearance of under-eye dark circles.
  • Arnica Montana: Extracts from the arnica blossom. Known to have a stimulating effect on the skin, helping to improve circulation and reduce eye-puffiness.
Also, I like that it is completely free of parabens and synthetic fillers.  ANother very boig bonues is that it lasts a very long time.  One tube lasted me 3 months:)
Overall, I will give this eyecream a 5 out 5!

3Lab "M Cream" from Beautyfix
Have you tried this amazing cream yet?  I ordered it from Beautyfix.com and received it last week.  Here's what I have to say about this product.

It feels like silk on your skin, literally.  It has a texture that feels like a combination of a serum plus moisturizer.  It gives plenty of hydration without any stickiness or oily feeling on your skin afterward.  Only a very small amount is needed as it spreads lovely and takes a minute to absorb into your skin.

According to the 3Lab website, http://www.3lab.com/, it contains stem cells from the rare Uttweiler Spatlauber Swiss apple.  Here is a list of the ingredients in M Cream:
