Janson Beckett - Sun Block Daytime Moisturizer SPF 40

I have been using this SPF moisturizer from Janson Beckett for a few weeks and am quite happy with it. This sun block goes on smooth and doesn't feel sticky like most sun blocks do. It's more like a regular daytime moisturizer than a sun block.

It makes your face look great and feel soft. You can wear this alone or under your usual moisturizer, but with an SPF of 40, it really isn't necessary. Makeup goes on fine over this, actually even better than some moisturizers I have used.

Sometimes, I wear this if I want to tan or just as my usual sun block under makeup. Either way, this is a great product. You can get it at www.janson-beckett.com for $ 34.95.

Olay Total Effects Body Wash - Exfoliate & Replenish

I recently bought the new Olay Total Effects Body Wash and it is amazing! It is probably one of the best shower gels I have ever used. First of all, it smells great. It lathers up really well and you don't even need to use a lot of it. The little exfoliating beads feel good too. Here is the description from Olay:

• Improves elasticity
• Relieves dryness
• Deeply moisturizes
• Brightens dull skin
• Evens skin tone
• Smoothes rough skin
• Minimizes the appearance of dry lines

It is definitely a body wash worth trying. I have never seen any body wash that had this many benefits. It was a bit pricey when it first came out, but I've been seeing it on sale a lot lately, especially at CVS. Get something great for your skin - you deserve it!

Lancome Gift with Purchase at Macy's !

Macy's is giving away a great gift with purchase for Lancome. If you spend $32.50 you can get a 6 piece gift of some of their great products. I mentioned a couple of great beauty products from Lancome before.

One skin care product that I love from them is their Pure Focus matifying toner. This is great for making pores look smaller and keeping your skin matte instead of getting oily. I wanted to mention this toner again because summer's coming, and this is a great toner to keep your skin looking good during the hot summer months ahead.

The beauty product I really love from Lancome is their Genefique serum. I also wanted to mention this product again from a previous post because of the warmer weather ahead. When you don't feel like slathering on your usual moisturizer when it's hot outside, instead of skipping out on moisturizer, use a serum. I know how much I don't like putting moisturizer on when it's hot and humid so I just skip it altogether. When I bought this, I would just use this instead of a heavy face cream and it was great.

New Interactive Skin Care Website

You might have seen the blidget on my blog from myskin.com. This is a great new website where you can input information on your skin type and what kind of products you use and get recommendations on skin care and beauty products. You can also post reviews for others and read reviews on products that you might have considered trying.

It is really easy to sign up, just type in your email and a password. I was using the site the other day to see what it's all about and it's pretty cool. Based on my skin type and the products that I reviewed, it gave me recommendations on other products that I might like. You can also gain access to many skincare blogs and experts.

So sign up and give it a try, it's definitely something you haven't seen before.

Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel & Hairspray

My hair is pretty weird, I can either wear it wavy (with the use of products), or it can be kind of straight. Since I prefer it wavy, I am always looking for products to help me fix my hair without a whole lot of effort or hassle.

I wanted to try Tousle Me Softly from Herbal Essence because I saw it in a magazine. I tried the spray gel and flexible hold hairspray. On damp hair, I sprayed the spray gel all over, after using a little bit of frizz serum, and then I blow dried with a diffuser. When my hair was dry, it was kind of wavy - not too bad. Then, I sprayed my hair with the flexible hold hair spray. I did this in the evening because that's when I usually fix my hair.

In the morning, I needed some aerosol spray to touch up my hair and set it, but otherwise it wasn't too bad. The waves are quite nice and you don't feel like you have a lot of product in your hair, it stays pretty soft. I needed the aerosol hair spray to kind of keep the waves though.

All in all, my hair looked pretty good and smelled amazing. I don't know if I would only use this, I would probably alternate between this and mousse. It just doesn't give you a head full of wavy curls, you mostly get these loose/casual waves.

Givenchy 'Ange ou Démon - Le Secret' Perfume

I think I found a new favorite perfume !!! If you haven't already smelled Ange ou Demon by Givenchy, you must ! This perfume is so perfect, it's feminine, light, fresh - just beautiful. I didn't think I would find a perfume as amazing as Flowerbomb, but this one is pretty close. I am very picky about perfume, it's not easy for me to find one that I love.

The only thing that isn't so great is how expensive it is - $73 for 1.7 oz & &95 for 3.4 oz. Since it is quite pricey, ask for a sample. I always do this at Sephora because that way I can spray a new scent on in the morning and see how I like it throughout the day. Plus, if you can't spend the big bucks on perfume, it's a great way to get some free samples of it every time you go to the mall.

Either way, you should definitely try this amazing perfume. There have been quite a few good ones lately. Usually, I can't find more than 1 or 2 perfumes that I like at a time, but there are some great ones lately.

Victoria's Secret UR Sweet Body Glow Moisture Cream

I probably found the best smelling body cream ever! It's called Cupquake from Victoria's Secret, from the Beauty Rush collection. This body cream smells like vanilla frosting, it's amazing. Not only does it smell great, but it's a great moisturizer too. It's a shea butter lotion and it has shimmer it in.

They already pulled it from the shelves but it is still available at victoriassecret.com. You can get 3 for $25. If you don't feel like ordering online, they said they're going to bring it back for the semi-annual sale in June. Whether you order it or wait to get it at the store, you should definitely get some. They have the thicker body cream or the lotion. The lotion doesn't have the shimmer like the body cream does. All 3 smell good, but I LOVE Cupquake, it's the best.
