Dove Visibly Smooth Deodorant




I have been wanting to try this Dove deodorant that is supposed to minimize underarm hair for a while but never got around to it. I was using it for some time now in order to give a good review on their claim that hair will grow back noticeably less.


Well, after using almost the entire stick, I really don't notice any difference. I still have to shave my underarms pretty much as often as I had to before I started using this deodorant. It does, however, go on smooth and doesn't make your clothes white - which is really annoying. It also seems to keep me fairly dry throughout the day.


All in all, it's a descent deodorant for a descent price. It just doesn't make much of a difference as far as making underarm hair less visible over time as I am almost finished with the entire stick.

Bare Escentuals Firming Eye Treatment


I have been using this new eye cream from Bare Escentuals' new line of skin care products that I mentioned in my last post. As I mentioned, Bare Escentuals came out with some great skin care products that contain active minerals just like their fabulous line of makeup. This line of skin care doesn't contain any Parabens, Sulfates or Synthetic dyes or fragrances like other products out there, making it great for your skin.

Using this eye cream everyday for almost 2 weeks now, I've noticed the dark circles under my eyes looking a bit brighter and less noticeable. I've also noticed that the area around my eyes looks more plump, making the fine lines around the eye area less noticeable. This cream goes on very smooth and isn't sticky at all. It absorbs quickly as well so it won't take any longer to do your usual skin care routine or makeup. It's also great under my concealer, which a lot of eye creams are not - they tend to be sticky and make the concealer go on terrible or clump.

This is a great eye cream at a very reasonable price - $28, which is inexpensive compared to a lot of eye creams out there and you will get the same results or better. You can buy it online from www.bareescentuals.com or at Sephora.

If you like Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup and skin care products, you'll be excited to know that they are launching a new 8 piece line of bareMinerals skincare products that consists of moisturizers, cleansers and skin treatments.

This new skin care line is made with 100 % pure RareMinerals and has only the best ingredients for your skin. These products will help increase cell turnover and help you have fewer lines and wrinkles. The cleansers remove makeup, dissolve impurities and rebalance your skin to give you a soft and smooth complexion.

Another plus about these products is the price, much more reasonable than most brands available today. You can buy yours today at www.bareescentuals.com. Stay posted for some more reviews once I am able to try some of these great skin care products.

Ole Henriksen Beauty and Skin Care Products

I found a new brand of skin care products that I absolutely LOVE ! I recently went to Sephora to look around and got a couple of samples of moisturizer from this brand that I really never heard of. When I was doing my usual routine that night, I decided to try it out. I got a sample of the anti-aging cream called Sheer Transformation.

This cream goes on so light and feels great. It soaks in your skin right away and doesn't feel greasy or sticky at all. It spreads so smooth, not like some creams that I've tried. As I am getting older, I don't really want to use a mositurizer that is difficult to apply because I don't think I should be rubbing my skin that much anymore and possibly cause wrinkles or my skin to stretch. That's why I love this cream so much, it really goes on great.

Another huge plus, Ole Henriksen's products have natural ingredients which I really like. I've mentioned before that I really love when I can find great products and they're all natural. Sheer Transformation is supposed to help fade discoloration, hyperpigmentation, sun spots and age spots as well as smooth fine lines and help prevent further damage. I can't wait to see how well this works because I actually have some sun damage on my face from tanning.

I can't wait to try more products from this awesome skin care line and post my results. You should definitely try something from Ole Henriksen, you won't be disappointed.

Super by Dr. Perricone


Sephora has this amazing new line of skin care products by Dr. Perricone. This line of skin care is derived from all of the amazing superfoods from around the world. The products consist of cleansers, moisturizers, treatments and serums. I love the packaging, it seems geared towards younger women, in my opinion.

I bought this lunch box set which has a cleanser, detox elixir and moisturizer. You can get all 3 items for $65! This is a great deal for Perricone products, which you know are quite pricey. I have always like Dr. Perricone products but his line of skin care is a bit expensive for me. So, I really love that there is actually a line of skin care from him that is more affordable.

The products smell great and I am very happy with how my skin looks. My complexion looks really smooth and toned. This is a great way to try a few products at a great price, since it would cost more to buy everything individually. Definitely a great set to buy and try some amazing products from Dr. Perricone. I am always into using beauty products that have superfood ingredients like these do.

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.
