Maybelline Coupons



I have been looking for a new compact to try and wanted to find a less expensive brand, like a drugstore brand, instead of a department store brand. I've been seeing commercials for the new pressed powder compact from Maybelline called Fit Me and I think I want to try it.

The cool thing about drugstore brand makeup is that you can usually find coupons and discounts for your purchase. I searched for a coupon for Maybelline and only found some at their website. I didn't find any specifically for the Fit Me Pressed Powder that I want but there are some others in case you're interested.

Either way, I will try the new makeup compact and post a review on it later.

Ole Henriksen Reviews




I previously posted a review on an Ole Henriksen moisturizer after I first discovered this amazing brand. I have to say that the moisturizer I reviewed is probably one of the best skin creams that I've used.

I have recently been using this cleanser from Ole Henriksen called African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser and I love it! This creamy antioxidant facial cleanser is strong enough to even remove makeup without stripping your skin. This cleanser is all natural, refreshing and smells great. I use it along with the Pick Me Up Face Tonic.


Along with the cleanser, I have been using this awesome toner by Ole Henriksen called Pick Me Up Face Tonic. This refreshing toner makes your skin feel clean and fresh without giving you that dry, stripped feeling that most toners do.



I have noticed, after using this for a couple of weeks, that my pores look smaller - which I love! I use the cleanser, toner and moisturizer as part of my nightly routine and my skin has never looked better. I am very happy with the products that I've tried so far from Ole Henriksen. This skin care line is all natural, high quality and reasonably priced. Considering the sizes of the product containers, you really are getting great value for amazing beauty products.

HANA Air Professional Hair Dryer



I have just used the best hair dryer ever !!! I recently got this Hana air professional hair dryer from Misikko.com and I absolutely love it!

This is a professional salon tested and salon recommended hair dryer that dries your hair up to 60% faster than your typical hair dryer. Not only is that great when it comes to saving time, but more importantly, it causes less damage to your hair since it locks in moisture. The longer you take to dry your hair, the more damage you're causing, which leaves your hair looking dry, brittle and frizzy.

This hair dryer has Ion technology which conditions your hair and reduces static. It also has Tourmaline & Titanium Oxide technology which promotes healthier hair. It has a beautiful sleek black finish and feels very lightweight. The motor is also much quieter than a lot of hair dryers that I've had, which is also nice.

I really love how my hair looks after using this hair dryer. I used some mousse for curly hair with the low setting to get my hair wavy (which is how I normally wear my hair). I like the results with this dryer much better than when I use my old one with a diffuser. My hair looks more hydrated and not so dried out. When I was using my diffuser, it took a while to dry my hair which left it looking dry and frizzy.

The Hana Air Professional Hair Dryer is not cheap, but you will definitely get what you pay for - you will NOT be disappointed. It will help you style your hair quicker and give you amazing results. To get this amazing hair dryer, go to http://www.misikko.com/hair-dryers.html or visit http://www.misikko.com if you're looking for hair straighteners instead. They're having a sale, so don't waste any time if you're in the market for some great hair styling tools. While you're there, make sure you read the reviews for the Hana hair dryer - I have never seen a product that has reviews that are all 5 stars!

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.
