Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream

#BeautyBagDolls I have a little beauty secret to share with all of you as the cold weather begins to set in. As the days become shorter and the temperature drops (and it has dropped for me in the Northeast) my skin get so dry and I read for the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream. This tube of cream is a life/skin savor. It works on your entire body from head to toe including hands, feet, cuticles, face and even your lips. Read on to learn more about Yu-Be.
Yu-Be is a skincare nonnegotiable you MUST have it in your beauty bag, coffee table, side end table and desk at work its so good for your skin!  

Before I get into all the ways I use the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream I want to give you a little background information about Yu-Be and the Moisturizing Skin Cream according to their website is "Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is a fast-absorbing cream that hydrates all types of seriously dry skin anywhere on the body, including your face and lips. Its formula was invented by a Japanese pharmacist in 1957 and has been a best-seller in Japan for over 50 years. The cream’s mix of concentrated plant-based glycerin and vitamins prove highly effective in replenishing lost moisture on even the driest faces, hands, feet, elbows and knees."  For me this is a skin savor year round but right now my love for it runs deep. I have the driest hands throughout the day but by the end of the night they are so rough it is as if I never applied lotions, hand creams and body butters on it throughout the day and I piled it on. However a small squeeze of Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream and it hydrates my hands and cuticles to perfection! Now the Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream is something I use on my hands year round since I garden and my hands get dry but in the fall and winter I have the large tube and the smaller tube with me at all times for instant relief. If you suffer from chapped lips I suggest you apply this twice daily and your lips will feel amazing. I have an issue with dry feet and this has really made the difference in the fall and winter so much so that I apply it just as maintaining them now and I don't have dry feet anymore. I want to let you know that this is not greasy by any means and after applying it to my hands I can immediately snap my fingers. Again Yu-Be says that this is a "high concentration of glycerin and camphor helps to relieve eczema related symptoms. Non-greasy formula absorbs quickly and stays locked to retain moisture. “A little dab goes a long way.” Yu-Be contains no artificial colors or fragrances and is non-comedogenic. Yu-Be is 100% cruelty free." I want to note that Yu-Be also makes a brand new formula called the Yu-Be Advanced Formula Pure Hydration Cream that I love as well. I use that on my face for when it is super dry as well as my elbows and knees. These are both a Beauty Bag must have that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop Yu-Be to purchase.

I have great news #BeautyBagDolls if you are a First Aid Beauty Fan. They are going to be the Today's Special Value on QVC on November 1, 2016 starting at midnight and you will get a deal on their First Aid Beauty Super-Size Set of 2 Ultra Rich Cream. It will cost you $39.96 which is a great deal for two large containers (14 ounces to be exact) The item number is A287607 It will come in four set choices and they go as follows :Original/Original, Original/Vanilla, Original/Grapefruit, or Original/ Rosemary Mint.





I am not at all interested because I find the scent choices to be boring and I have tried the cream in the past and it does nothing for my skin however I have heard others rave  about it helps the dry skin that has eczema. I personally never felt any relief when I used this in fact it felt worse but it you are a fan and this works for your skin than by all means do pick up this TSV I will be skipping it and sticking to another brand I find that works better for me and I have reviewed it so I am sure you can find it on my blog posts.

Again if you are interested please make sure you pick this up the  First Aid Beauty Super-Size Set of 2 Ultra Rich Cream. The item number is A287607 and it is on sale for 1 day only November 1, 2016 at 12 AM

L'Occitane Violet Scent Fall 2016 Launch Reviews

I am so excited to bring you a very special review of four products launching this fall for L'Occitane En Provence. They are launching in October 2016 the Violet Line and I got four products to test out for you all in the Violent Scent and oh my it is out of this world awesome! To learn more visit L'Occitane here.
L'Occitane Violet Scent Fall 2016 Launches are amazing! The scent is so nice and the benefits to my skin are amazing! Beauty Bag Musts!


When I opened my package I could hardly wait to try out these goodies. L'Occitane included their Violet Hand Cream, Violent Lip Balm, Violet Ultra Soft Cream and Violet Solidarity Balm. I first used the Violet Hand Cream because my hands are feeling dry and cracked. This one quickly became my favorite because it has a wonderful light powdery Violet scent along with being 20% Shea Butter but it also made my hands soft and supple immediately upon application. I also didn't have to keep reapplying because it kept my hands moisturized for hours. I also love the size because it fits easily into my handbag or makeup bag to take along with me. To buy yours visit L'Occitane En Provence. Next I was excited to try out the L'Occitane Violet Lip Balm because I am obsessed with lip balm and one that is scented with Violet really gets me interested so I smoothed this onto my lips and the scent is so light which is just what I wanted since its applied just below my nose on my lips it didn't over power me with scent just subtle and the shea butter really went to work moisturizing my lips. I love the fact that it didn't wear of an hour later in fact I only need to apply this about three times in one day and my lips stayed soft, supple and hydrated. I could even apply it over my lipstick to add extra moisture. I love this lip balm and keep it with me to buy yours visit here

The last to two products from the Fall Violet Launches L'Occiatne sent me Violet Ultra Soft Cream and I fell in love with this after just one touch. I mean it feels great and melts right onto my skin when I apply it my skin drinks it in instantly and with 10% Shea Butter and the soft scent of Violet I am at awe at well my skin reacts, immediately it is moisturized, soft and supple! I cannot get enough of this Ultra Soft Cream it is skin changer! The final product is the L'Occitane Solidarity Balm. I love a balm but I have never loved one as much as this one. It smells like Violet of course and it works perfectly on my cuticles keeping them healthy, I apply it on my lips, elbows and in my hair when it has some static going on in the morning. (It also helps with fly ends) The uses for this are endless and it is so easy to toss this into your beauty bag and go!

#BeautyBagDolls the L'Occitane Violet collection gets a 5 $$$$ because the scent is light and subtle never over powering and each products serves a purpose that nourishes your skin, lips and body. Buy yours here

Extra Love from Anna: I am in love with all of the products that were sent to me from L'Occitane En Provence Fall 2016 Violet collection they are a skin changing company that has created products we need on a daily bases to keep your skin healthy and hydrated and I hope to collaborate with L'Occitane En Provence again in the future and I want to Thank them for their kindness!

L'Occitane En Provence Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream

Attention all #BeautyBagDolls I have just found the perfect cream for your face. It is the L'Occitane En Provence Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream. This is made with "5% shea butter to answer the essential needs of normal to combination skin, including sensitive skin types." That describes my skin type and it helps me greatly get the moisture I need with out causing a breakout or irritation of any kind. I am floored at how my skin is now soft and supple after using this for just a few days. Visit http://usa.loccitane.com/

Apply this to all skin types and watch your skin improve! Beauty Bag Must!


I opened up this beautiful jar of L'Occitane En Provence Shea Butter Light Comforting and I knew it was different because when I touched my finger to it, it felt really light and not greasy at all. My face and neck felt hydrated with a lightweight formula that lasted all night. I prefer to use this at night because it gave my face a recovery type of feeling. Giving it hydration all night and the next morning my skin still felt soft and supple, it did not need more moisture because this cream makes it truly last.  After I apply it on clean dry skin I am thrilled at how quickly it absorbs and honestly I have been using this every night since I received it and I haven't even thought about using anything else, this is perfect for the summer time. It is one of the best creams I have tried that has shea butter in it that really comforts my dry acne prone skin that is so super sensitive. I use this even on nights that my skin seem oily and in all honesty it controls my oily skin and what I have also notice when using this on my neck and décolletage is that it seems to be hydrated just the right amount that the fine lines have smoothed out. I will not be without the L'Occitane En Provence Shea Butter Light Comforting Cream it is a beauty bag must and gets a 5 $$$$$ for helping everyone with getting awesome skincare even combination skin can use this. Buy yours now @ http://usa.loccitane.com/shea-butter-light-comforting-cream,82,1,29193,662643.htm

Extra Love from Anna:  LOVE all of the product I have reviewed so far and this is no exception. I hope to collaborate with L'Occitane En Provence again in the future and I want to Thank them for their kindness!

These are all the products you need to have a flawless makeup. Learn more and buy yours here @ http://www.mehron.com/default.asp

3 products you must have to have a flawless face thanks to Mehron!


When I got this out of the box after it arrived I could not wait to try it all out and to use it together. I first started with the amazing Mehron ProColorRing Neutralizer. Its not secret that I have acne and acne scars along with some redness and dark circles so this ProColorRing Neutralizer is perfect for me and to have all 5 colors in one convenient package is a dream come true. I patted it on with a sponge per directions and my jaw dropped nothing has ever neutralized my redness or dark circles like this ProColorRing. It is a creamy formula so I never had to tug my skin and its buildable and blendable. I am in love with this one product alone because it made the next product truly life changing!  Buy this now @ http://www.mehron.com/Pro_Color_Ring_Neutralizer_p/505-n.htm

The Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Makeup Foundation that I received in the shade MED1 which is a medium shade. Before I start singing its praises which I will here is a little background information on the Mehron Pro-HD Makeup Foundation is an oil-free and fragrance-free cream makeup that delivers satin-smooth, buildable coverage that is non-greasy and great for all skin types. I am so thrilled that this is a full coverage buildable cream foundation that make me have flawless skin in seconds. Its easy to apply and my skin looks smooth and soft to the touch! I have very sensitive skin so I am always afraid of foundation because of my sensitive skin but with powerful antioxidants such as vitamin E, pomegranate and aloe vera that help soothe the skin I am thrilled to say I have no issues. Buy yours today @ http://www.mehron.com/Celebre_Cream_Makeup_p/201.htm

The final product from Mehron that I received for review is the Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Cream-Contour & Highlight Palette. I love to contour and to highlight the only problem is I have never been able to apply it and forget it. It has always faded off for me by the middle of the day until now. I never ever tried a cream contour and highlight until the Mehron Celebre Pro-HD Cream-Contour & Highlight Palette came into my life. This has 12 shades one portable palette which is not only convenient but smart. I can pick and choose my contour and highlight shades as my skin tones changes throughout the year. With summer and self tanner I have every shade I need in one place. I am so happy with the formula because it too contains vitamin E, pomegranate and aloe vera. I am so happy with the results of my cream contour and highlight palette long lasting and non irritating! Great makeup so find yours here  @  http://www.mehron.com/Celebre_Pro_HD_Cream_Contour_Highlight_Palette_p/201-pal-ch.htm
