Korres Brightening and Anti-Aging Rose Collection

Sorry I haven't made a post in quite a while but I've been job hunting and that definitely took up all of my time. But, that's over and I was able to go to one of my favorite stores - Sephora - and pick up some great stuff at a great bargain.

I don't like using the same products all of the time, even if I really like something. I just get bored with the same stuff everyday. That's why I'm always looking for new things even when I do find something that works. So, I was ready to try a different skin care regimen and was really interested in this Korres Brightening and Anti-Aging Rose Collection. First off, the price is amazing - $ 54 for 6 items! You get: Wild Rose Moisturizer, Wild Rose Serum, Wild Rose Mask, Rose Showergel, Rose Body Butter & Wild Rose Lip Butter.

Everything smells great and they're full of antioxidants from the rose flower. I never knew roses had antioxidants in them. And, being Korres products, they're all natural - which is great. All of the products also contain Vitamin C which is really great for your skin since it increases radiance , revitalizes and smooths out skin texture.

I have been using this for a few weeks now and I really love it. I have combination skin so I do get pimples occasionally and this stuff has really helped keep my skin more clear. My skin tone also seems more even and my face looks really smooth. All of the products in the set are great, there isn't even one that I don't like. Korres really knows what they're doing, I really haven't tried anything from them that I don't like.

You should definitely try this set, it smells great, it's all natural and it's a great deal. If you were to buy 6 items separately (from any brand), it would cost quite a bit. For $ 54, you really can't go wrong with this skin care set from Korres.

If you love natural and organic products, you will definitely love EO Products. EO has these amazing soaps, bath & body, shampoos, conditioners and even home cleaning products. I have been using their hand foaming and liquid hand soap, hand sanitizer gel & hand sanitzer spray.

I have the foaming hand soap in lavender & vanilla and grapefruit & mint. The lavender & vanilla smells so calming and wonderful. The grapefruit & mint smells invigorating and fresh. I also have the liquid hand soap in french lavender and peppermint & tea tree. The french lavender is also very calming and just smells beautiful. The peppermint & tea tree smells fresh and energizing.

I have the sanitizing hand gel & spray in organic lavender. It's not like other hand sanitizers that leave your hands sticky after you use them. EO's sanitizers are moisturizing and dry quickly, they also smell great and don't smell like alcohol.

EO's products are all natural and organic, with ingredients like aloe vera, essential oils, organic extracts and botanicals. Not only do their products smell amazing, they're great for your skin too. You can order their products from their website www.eoproducts.com or you can even pick up their products at Target. The next time you're at Target, pick something up, you definitely won't be disappointed. I can't wait to try more of EO's products.

Fresh Brown Sugar Lip Polish

No matter how much lip balm I use, I have a problem with dry, chapped lips. With the colder weather coming, I have been looking for something that will help me with my dry lips. I finally found something that is a huge help, it's from Fresh - Brown Sugar Lip Polish.

I already loved the Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment but I haven't bought it in a while (which is probably why my lips got so dry in the first place. So, when I went to pick up a tube, I found this lip polish that I just had to try.

It has a great texture and isn't too abrasive. It removes just enough of the dry skin without over doing it, which is what I am usually afraid of when I use any kind of scrub. It has a great scent, and doesn't taste bad either.

You can pick yours up at Sephora for $22.50. It might seem a little steep, but you really don't need to use a lot, a little goes a long way. When you're done, use you Fresh Sugar lip treatment for an amazing treatment, or just use your favorite lip balm. If you don't, your lips might feel a bit dry since you removed a layer of skin.

Neutrogena Wave Sonic

The Neutrogena Wave Sonic is a hand held vibrating cleanser that fits perfectly in your hand. It comes with foam pads that have wonderful Neutrogena soap on them. To get started, you just wet the soap pad and turn on the Wave and start cleansing your face. When you're done, you just throw the pad away. So simple, so easy to use.

The soap on the pads is mild and smells great. Also, the vibration of the Wave is not too strong, it's perfect. This makes it safe enough to use everyday without stripping your skin. I have been using this on my face for about 1 week now and I just love it! It keeps my skin smooth and looking fresh. It also seems to control breakouts, maybe because it cleanses the skin so well.

The Wave Sonic is so compact that it fits anywhere and is also great for traveling. It also removes makeup very well, which is important since some cleansers really don't. This definitely makes it less boring to wash your face. All in all, it's a great buy and I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Reviva Labs ~ Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester & DMAE Cream

I have been using this great moisturizer from Reviva Labs that treats past & future skin damage overnight. This cream has all of the necessary ingredients like Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C Esther to fight free radicals & skin aging along with DMAE to firm, tighten & lift your skin. It also contains Allantoin & Aloe Vera to soothe your skin and give you a nice healty glow.

I have been using this for about 2 weeks and I am very happy with the results. I have noticed this one area on my face (where I have some sun damage from tanning) fade a little bit. I can only imagine how it will look the longer I keep using this. I thought the cream was a little heavy at first, but it completely absorbs into your skin. It doesn't leave your face sticky like most moisturizers do, which is nice when it's warm outside. It's also moisturizing enough for the winter when you need a heavier cream.

You can buy this at revivalabs.com for only $23! Definitely a lot less than many department store brands. This is an amazing price for an amazing skin care product that helps us fight future skin aging and even repair skin damage.

Olay Total Effects Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control

I didn't realize I was almost out of my usual facial cleanser so I just went to CVS instead of going to the mall to pick something up real quick. I haven't tried a store brand in years and kind of wanted to see what was out there lately. I noticed this cleanser from Olay, Total Effects Cream Cleanser + Blemish Control and was really interested in trying it since I love the Total Effects body wash from Olay (which I discussed in an older post).

I have been using this for about 1 week or so and I love it! I haven't had much luck with store brands which is why I started buying department store stuff for the last few years. But I have to say, I am very impressed with this cleanser.

First off, it helps keep your skin clear since it has salicylic acid. This is important to me because I still get blemishes here and there and I'm in my 30's. It also keeps your skin nice and toned, which I really love. It's a bit moisturizing, which I don't care for now since it's Summer, but that will be great for dry winter air. This cleasnser is also supposed to fight signs of aging, but since I really don't have lines yet, I'm not sure if it works in that aspect. But, since it's great otherwise, I have no doubts that it is anti-aging.

The other great thing about this Olay cleanser is the price, around $8. Definitely cheaper than the department store brands and you can't tell since this is really a great cleanser that I will definitely continue using.
