Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer

 Happy July Beauty Bag Doll's! I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July and your weekend! I recently did my 3rd restock on my favorite foundation which if you read my previous posts is the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation. That has been my go to Foundation since I tried it but at Sephora recently I knew I wanted to try the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer. After a few minutes of shade comparing I decided on shade 11 Light Neutral. It was the perfect choice because after getting it home and using it the next day with the foundation everything came together perfectly. 

The best new concealer I have added to my makeup bag. Oh and that applicator is everything!

The perfect shade match and the best concealer formula I have used in a while.


The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Hydrating + De-Puffing Concealer is doing something that other concealers just don't. It is very creamy and it is not heavy. I place under my eyes and it melts into my skin. It is not a dry formula and doesn't settle into any fine lines. I prefer to blend it out with a brush. For me this concealer helps to brighten my under eye are for a few hours while Hydrating the under eyes. I have been reaching for only this Concealer for the past month that I have used it. This to me is a must have Concealer. It costs $32.00 but is worth so much more because it is a Concealer you cannot even feel it's on. 


Shop Sephora or Haus Labs to purchase.

erborian BB Shot Mask

#BeautyBagDolls I have another awesome product from erborian which has quickly become one of my favorite skincare brands. Today I have the erborian BB Shot Mask. This is a Face Sheet Mask that leaves your skin with a  radiance baby skin effect. This is sold at Sephora and I am picking up a bunch of these. Read on to learn more.
Erborian BB Shot Mask pictured on left is a beauty bag must and the Pink Perfect Cream review pictured on right is still to come.

This sheet mask from erborian is amazing and according to erborian this BB Shot Mask is "ideal for an instant beauty-boosting effect, BB Shot Mask helps to give a baby-like skin effect thanks to a structure made from smooth cellulose fibers, which helps to diffuse its active ingredients. It acts like a true concentrate for a flawless complexion with a pearly finish. Delivering results comparable to those of a serum, it immediately helps to plump the look of skin with moisture, smooths and refines the look of skin’s texture, and illuminate the complexion." This mask does everything for my skin and my favorite time of the day to do it is in the AM after I cleanse my face. I apply this mask and go on about getting dressed having some coffee and breakfast. By the time I know it 15 minutes goes by which I like to keep this on for at least 20-25. I remove the mask massage in the remaining serum and then I apply my makeup. I love this it makes my makeup glide on easily while leaving my skin feeling hydrated and soft. This is an absolute beauty bag must have and is a 5 $$$$$ along with EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Shop Sephora to purchase.

You can treat your eyes and lips in 5 minutes (or longer if you have time) and be done!  These come in a pack of 5 with a pair in each satchel for the eye gels the lip gels has one. I love the individual satchels because I can throw one in my purse of beauty bag and take it to go for a mid day pick me up when my eyes are looking tired or my lips are feeling parched. To learn more read on.
Keep your peepers and pucker hydrated and smooth with Patchology!

I love putting the Patchology Rejuvenating Eye Gels on in the morning when I haven't gotten enough sleep or my eyes just look blah! I smooth a pair of these on and they go to work immediately in fact in five minutes I remove these Patchology Rejuvenation Eye Gels and revel a refreshed under eye area that is so smooth my concealer glides on and I need less of it! The ingredients are Caffeine and Hydrolyzed Collagen which really make such a difference I would not have believed it if I didn't experience it for myself! These are perfect to use in the morning before makeup or in the evening after a long day. I also love putting these on before going out because they make your eye are just have the little extra sparkle!

So if you are tired of applying the lip plumping lipstick and glosses every single day then I have just found your holy grail lip plumping line smoothing product, it is the Patchology Hydrating Lip Gels. For me I use these at least twice a week sometimes three just because I not only love the fact that it plumps my lips it also goes to work on the fine lines around them that I don't want to get out of control. I also love using this in the morning for its long lasting effects for the day ahead. I put one on and if feels so good on my lips, its a cooling feeling. The five minutes goes quickly and on some days I even add on another five minutes because it feels good and leaves my lips. After I remove the Patchology Hydrating  Lip Gel my lips are prepped and ready to go for the day so I can apply lipstick and/or lip gloss without even having to reach for the lip plumping products because my lips are full, moisturized and but best of all I immediately noticed that the fine lines around my lips are not even noticeable so my lipstick will not even travel to them! I did a happy dance because who doesn't want a fuller pucker with little to lines around the mouth! The ingredients that help me achieve a better lip shape and volume includes Peptides and Green Tea Extract soothe and deliver anti-aging benefits. I love the Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gels for everything they are doing for my pucker and that gets 5 $$$$$ and is my beauty bag at all times!

Kneipp Soft Skin Face Care Collection

With fall now here I am starting to change up my skincare routine #BeautyBagDolls and I have discovered one that I love to use and it is a 3 piece set from Kneipp that is limited edition. It is the Kniepp  Almond Blossom Soft Skin series was developed to care for dry and sensitive skin and contains ingredients specifically intended to nourish and moisturize without triggering skin allergies and irritation. The kit contains Almond Blossom Cleansing Milk, Almond Blossom Face Tonic and Almond Blossom Face Cream. To learn more or purchase this set visit here.

I am thrilled that this was sold as a 3 piece system. I got to begin my skincare routine with the Almond Blossom Cleansing Milk which gently cleanses and removes make-up without drying out the skin. It contains high-quality, nourishing almond oil and vitamin E. I love how soft my skin felt just after cleansing. The I followed up with Almond Blossom Face Tonic which gently refreshes and cares for cleansed skin and removes any remaining cleansing milk. This face tonic with intensively nourishing pathenol does not contain alcohol. I am so happy this does not have alcohol in it and I can use it without it irritating my skin like other face tonics usually do. Finally the Almond Blossom Face Cream which "contains high-quality almond oil which is also very well tolerated by sensitive skin. The natural nourishing effect is enhanced by the cell-protecting combination of vitamins A and E, rich shea butter as well as skin-soothing panthenol. Because of its lipid-replenishing character, the intensively nourishing face cream makes the skin noticeably more supple, provides it with lasting moisture and supports the skin’s own protection from photo-aging." I am singing high praises to this moisturizer because it feels so nice on my skin and truly left my skin feeling hydrated and soft.  I also want to note that these products are  vegan and free from paraffin, preservatives and silicone oils.

L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls today I am brining you a review of a fabulous new moisturizer from L'Oréal. It is the L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer for normal to dry skin. I didn't think this moisturizer would be for me at first but even though my skin is combination skin I have learned over the past few weeks with the season starting to change my skin has gone from oily to dry. I need something to help keep it hydrated yet balanced and I am very happy that the L'Oreal Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer did this for me. Read on to learn more.
This moisturizer helped balance my usually combination skin type! 

L'Oréal describes the Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer as follows "formulated to offer lightweight hydration, these formulas break into water upon contact with skin to deliver instant hydration that glides on easily for quick absorption." It is "specifically developed for Normal to Dry Skin, this water based moisturizer is formulated with Aloe Water + Hyaluronic Acid to provide dual action. 1. 72 hours of intense and continuous hydration: it quenches skin with moisture & locks it in. 2. Glowing Action: it envelops skin with moisture improving skin’s radiance." I was super excited to try this out after reading everything about it. Who doesn't want hydrated glowing skin?! I used this twice a day for several days. I used it under my makeup and each night after cleansing. I did see immediately that my skin was hydrated especially on days that it felt particularly dry. Even on days that my skin seemed to act up and do its combination oily skin the L'Oréal  Hydra Genius Liquid Moisturizer balanced it out. I love that it absorbed quickly and that I can use the same moisturizer on my face and neck all while getting results of hydration, smoothness and glowing skin! I give this a 5 $$$$$ and it is an absolute beauty bag must have! EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA is in order!

Shop L'Oréal Paris.com to purchase.

Origins Original Skin VoxBox from Influenster

Hello #BeautyBagDolls today I am bringing you a special review that came to me complimentary of the Influester program I belong to. I was selected to receive their Origins Original Skin VoxBox. This had three products in it and included was a full size Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer with Willowherb and two deluxe side product from the line which was the Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum. Join Influenster here.
This Influenster VoxBox #pinkwatercream helped me #discoverorigins and I am so glad I did!

In this review I am going to get the heart of this VoxBox and that is the Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer since this was the only full size product in the VoxBox and it lasted the entire month and half whereas the deluxe samples that were included lasted about a week, not to say I wasn't happy they were included because they gave me plenty of time to figure out whether or not I wanted to purchase full size products. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is exclusively sold at Sephora and Sephora.com and is described as "A mattifying moisturizer for hydrated, healthy-looking skin."  It is formulated with "pink rock rose and willowherb to boost radiance, refine texture, even tone, and visibly minimize pores for a soft, smooth feel and a positively luminous look." I have always told you that I have acne prone, combination skin and some visible pores that I keep in check most of the time. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is something I am excited to bring to you because it is so lightweight and great for anyone with any skin type from oily, dry or combination skin types. It for me acts as a moisturizing primer, so my favorite time of the day to use it is every morning before I apply my makeup. This goes right into the skin and is a matte application moisturizer which is something new to me since I am always waiting a few minutes to let my moisturizer absorb into the skin until now, which saves me time in the morning. It feels nice absorbs instantly and truly give my skin the hydration it needs. I am thrilled that it is oily free since my skin is combination and tends to be oily some days or dry others I like having that one moisturizer that is great for my skin on either day. It really doesn't interfere with my makeup application since it truly preps my skin for makeup application acting as a hydrating matte priming moisturizer. I cannot get enough of this and I love it! The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is a beauty bag must have and has gone on my shopping list the next time I make a Sephora.com order. Thank you Influester.com for introducing me to this NEW moisture that is now my must have!

As far as the other two product included in the Origins Original VoxBox they are the  Retexturizing Mask and Renewal Serum they as I mentioned were a deluxe sample size and I honestly loved them even though they were small I can say that they are enough for multiple uses and you can figure out if you would  like to purchase the full size version. I must say the Mask is amazing. I used it about 3 times a saw that it made my skin look and feel soft and radiant as well as minimized my pores. The Serum is very good. It brightened my skin and absorbed quickly so I used it twice a day for 5 days until it ran out and I am very impressed. Both these deluxe samples sizes that Influenster provided me in the VoxBox are on my list of things to purchase the full size versions. Available for purchase at Sephora and Sephora.com

Overall the Origins Original Skin VoxBox is full of beauty bag must haves. The Origins Original  Skin Matte Moisturizer is amazing and the mask and serum compliment the moisturizer to make you have flawless hydrated skin. The 3 together do make the best skincare routine however you must try the moisturizer if you can only get one product because it is the perfect AM moisturizer for all skin types. This is a 5 $$$$$ that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter Review

#BeautyBagDolls I am so excited today to be sharing with you my full review of a product I mentioned back in January from Josie Maran. I am a huge fan of several of her product that I have tried, her argan oils, body butters and milk serums have been a heaven sent for my skin even though it is acne prone and sensitive the Josie Maran skincare line has done wonders so I jumped at the chance to try out her Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter. I learned about this a while ago and when I was sent two out of the three shades available for review I patiently awaited their delivery. Some information about the Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter it is infused with 100% Pure Argan Oil, this plumping lip butter nourishes, conditions, soothes and volumizes lips. I defiantly want to try this lip sting plumping butter. However, the only choice one has to make is which shade do you want. It comes in three shades Work It which is a vanilla clear shade, Free It Grapefruit which is a pink shade and Embrace It Honey which is a nude shade.  Their is soothing manuka honey and moringa butter hydrate and enhance barrier recovery. To purchase click here.
A beauty bag must if you want hydrated plump lips with a beautiful shade of pink if you choose! I love Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter.

If you were to take a look inside my makeup bag you will find lip balms and lipsticks, stains, glosses and tints in every shade of pink and mauves. So when I was sent the Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter  in Work It Vanilla a clear shade and Free It Grapefruit which a pink shade I was beyond excited! I knew the pink shade called Free It Grapefruit was  beautiful in the tube but after I smoothed it on which you only need a swipe across the top lip and a swipe across the bottom lip because this is pigment rich lip sting. The sting by the way is very subtle and only lasts a few minutes however it is very effective in plumping your lips. I have very sensitive lips and I have tried a few other lip plumping products that I had to remove from my lips within seconds because the pain was unbearable. Now the Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter to me is not even close to being stung by a bee (which I have been stung by one several times in my life and that really hurts) this to me does not feel like that at all! When I wore the  Free It Grapefruit which is the pink shade for the first time I actually received compliments people who know my obsession for lip products noticed that this shade was different and said it was one of the "best shades of pink I ever wore." I never really thought people would notice but they do when they like it. Now, as far as the Work It Vanilla a clear shade I took every advantage of wearing this for the hydration for the argan oil in it as well as its effect in treating my lips and keeping them plump. It was great to smooth on and then apply a lipstick/stain or gloss over top. I also loved to smooth some on before bed to help with any dry chap lips and it helped keep my lips looking plump for the long term benefits. I am in love with the Josie Maran Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter and I have reached for it more often than I can count! The long term benefits are a plump pout and hydration! I always am in need of that so this is a 5 $$$$$ and this is a Beauty Bag Must have getting EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA! Joise Maran Cosmetics has knocked out of the park yet again!

Soap Cherie Soaps

Well #BeautyBagDolls Soap Cherie has done it again! My skin is so very happy since I have been using there amazing soaps. These soaps are handmade SLS and Paraben free and made in a wide variety of scents. No matter which scent you choose the ingredient list is so good for you. There is coconut oil, soybean oil and organic shea butter. The other ingredients depend on the scent and what the bar of soap is intended for. I received the Oatmeal Milk and Honey as well as the Seaweed. I am in love each of these bars of soap because their ingredient deck are words you can actually pronounce and they work amazingly at cleansing your skin without leaving it feel dry or tight. My skin feels clean but hydrated and nourished. The Soap Cherie Oatmeal Milk and Honey lathers up beautifully with warm water of course and feels amazing on the skin. The scent is perfect not over powering!  I adore it because it also gently exfoliates with the little oats you see in the bar of soap. The Soap Cherie  Seaweed is a great bar of soap the scent is very bright and it is a bar you can use all over your face and body. It helps to detoxify which is something I love without having to do an extra step in the shower with another product. This is run under water and lather up! I love how the Seaweed soap bar left my skin clean and nourished.
My happiness are these soaps from Soap Cherie they cleanses moisturize and smell great! A Beauty Bag must!

Now I also received something from the Soap Cherie Bakery. That's right they have an amazing variety of soaps that are crafted to look like a cupcake!  That's right a cupcake however do not let its adorable aspect fool you it is a soap bar like the ones I mentioned above! It cleans and hydrates your skin while doing it with good for you and your skin ingredients. The formula includes organic Shea butter, hempseed oil, castor oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. The Soap Cherie Bakery Cupcakes are suitable for all skin types. These are a beautiful treat to use and to gift it makes me smile every time I see it and use it. It is available in wide variety of scents as well for you to enjoy!

Finally, if your like me you love a nice long bath and I have now experienced the Soap Cherie Bath Bomb this little ball of goodness is so amazing. It is available in a wide variety of scents on the Soap Cherie website and I received the Rose Garden scent and when you get this you will see how large and weighty it is. You will also notice how nicely scented it is before its dropped into a bath tub full of water! This little guy arrived at my home on a day that mother nature dumped a large amount of snow and after removing that from the sidewalk and driveway I wanted nothing more than to soak my cold body in a warm tub of water lucky this arrived on the same day and I could do just that!  I filled the tub up with water first as suggested and dropped this cutie into the water and watched it dissolve I don't want to ruin the show it puts on for you but trust me its AWESOME! This is a handmade bath fizz that has bath salts and butters inside of it for you to just relax yourself in a bath tub full of it. It leaves your skin feeling soft, silky and hydrated. It also leaves you feeling really relaxed and if you have had a workout that left you feeling sore the bath salts help ease any aches and pains. The exact ingredients are Baking Soda, Citric Acid, Shea Butter, Epsom salt and herbal mix. I love this little bath fizz and I am going to be a frequent user.

Overall the Soap Cherie products mentioned in my review above are a 5 $$$$$ for their ability to cleanse, nourish and hydrate my skin with good for you ingredients. I love this brand so much and what it has done for my skin makes me so happy!

Skinny & Co Peppermint Lip Balm

I want to sing I am so happy right now! #BeautyBagDolls I am obsessed with lip balm and now I have found one that does double duty! Double duty yes because the Skinny & Co Peppermint Lip Balm is a nourishing and hydrating lip balm that also seemed to plump up my lips. The peppermint in this lip balm helped plump them which is something I love but hate the extra step when having to apply several things on my lips before lipstick or gloss. So the fact that the  Skinny & Co Peppermint Lip Balm does that for me I am thrilled! I am also a person who pay attention to packaging and the tin lip balm is usually a love hate relationship because I love how fresh the tins keep my lip balm but opening them is a hassle for me with most brands but not Skinny & Co they did it right making the tin packaging a dream to open and close. I must thank Skinny & Co for that detail that is so important.

This is the best lip balm it truly hydrates! A Beauty Bag Must from Skinny & Co




I always use my lip balm at least two or three times a day and this one is more the two times a day type of lip balm. It deeply hydrated my lips which is much needed in the winter months and it really worked quickly. It absorbed without leaving my lips feeling slimy or heavy and it healed any chapped issue I had. The ingredients are simple yet very effective. They are 100% Raw Coconut, Oil Bees, Wax Vitamin E and Peppermint. I am in love with this Skinny & Co Peppermint Lip Balm it is my go to and beauty Bag must have which means it is a 5 $$$$$.

L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate Free Shampoo & Conditioner

#BeautyBagDolls I am happy to bring to you today a review of L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate Free Shampoo & Conditioner. I am a huge fan of sulfate free shampoos and conditioners. My hair has been on the dry side since the season change and my habit of highlighting it does dry it out quite a bit. I was thrilled when I received two products from L'Oréal that are perfect for my hair type.
The perfect sulfate free shampoo and conditioner for your hair!



First I used the L'Oreal EverPure Sulfate Free Shampoo that is formulated to moisturizer your hair and anti fading system so my hair color will not wash down the drain. First I of course noticed the scent which is rosemary and while I am not a fan of it in my food the scent of it in my hair was awesome.  EverPure’s extra-gentle, sulfate-free formula won’t strip color and leaves hair hydrated, manageable and silky soft. This richly lathering shampoo is infused with refreshing rosemary and juniper for an invigorating aromatic experience. I am just so happy with the results of this shampoo and I top it off with the conditioner which is L'Oréal EverPure Sulfate Free Conditioner which is formulate repair and defend. It is "sulfate-free color-care system for damaged, color-treated hair. Formulated with our exclusive Antioxidant Complex – Acai, Goji and a UV filter – our system helps repair damaged hair while protecting from daily color aggressors. Hair is stronger, more resistant and helps color stay pure wash after wash." I love that it makes my hair feel so soft and hydrated. This duo is a beauty bag must and gets a 5 $$$$$.

WEN By Chaz Dean

#BeautyBagDolls I am so happy today to bring to you two awesome products from WEN by Chaz Dean. I received two samples one was the WEN Lavender Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask and WEN Fig Styling Cream. This brand has become one of my favorite hair care brands I am a fan of masks for my hair and right now with summer taking its toll on my hair (swimming is the pool and ocean along with hours in the sun) the WEN Lavender Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask is just what my stressed tresses needed and the styling cream is great because it hold my style all day! Visit here @ http://www.chazdean.com/ to learn more and buy yours today.

Two beauty bag musts from WEN so you can have your very best hair!




The WEN Lavender Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask is the best part of my cleansing routine. I hop out of the shower and on clean wet hair I apply this amazing WEN Lavender Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask, comb through and clip it up. It is suggested to leave it on for 30-45 minutes and the longer you keep it on the better the results. Most nights I keep it on for at least an hour while I watch some TV or answer emails, trust me the time flies by and by the time you know it, its time to just rinse it out. After rinsing it out after the first time I noticed how soft and silky my hair felt. It also smells so nice, that I am thrilled I have the option to use it daily which is what I did for 5 days and then after that my hair didn't look or feel as dry and damaged as it did when I begun so I now use it 3 times a week. To learn more and to purchase yours visit here @ http://www.chazdean.com/p-31-lavender-remoist-hydrating-mask.aspx

I love to style my hair just like anyone else but finding the best styling products is a never ending journey in my life, until now! I adore a styling cream like WEN Fig Styling Cream because it is for all hair types. It protects your hair from the damage of heated tools and control frizz. It also locks in moisture while boosting shine, volume and body. This lightweight styling aid will protect, treat and nourish your hair all day long.  I apply this after cleansing to my soaking wet hair and then I style as usual. This is an easy step that really makes my hair shiny and soft. It also is not heavy at all my hair is never weighted down and it smells really nice. I only use about two pumps and it is enough to style my long hair! To learn more and buy yours visit here @ http://www.chazdean.com/p-28-fig-styling-creme.aspx

I give both the WEN Lavender Re-Moist Hydrating Hair Mask and WEN Fig Styling Cream a 5 $$$$$ for their ability to treat and style my hair with good for your hair ingredients. I cannot live without either of these products!!

Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gels

Oh my word, this thin lipped girl is so happy! I have the best product I have used to date for you today #BeautyBagDolls. I have a thin upper lip and I am always on the hunt for something to make it look plumper while keeping my pout healthy and wrinkle free of course. I have found the answer to both and all you need is five minutes of your time as often as you like to do it. This fabulous product is the  Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gels. I received them as a product sample and I am stocking up! Learn more and purchase here @ http://www.patchology.com/

These Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gels are such a dream! I love them and will not ever be without them!


Okay #BeautyBagDolls if you are tired of applying the lip plumping lipstick and glosses every single day then I have just found your holy grail lip plumping line smoothing product. For me I use these at least twice a week sometimes three just because I not only love the fact that it plumps my lips it also goes to work on the fine lines around them that I don't want to get out of control. I also love using this in the morning for its long lasting effects for the day ahead. I put one on and if feels so good on my lips, its a cooling feeling. The five minutes goes quickly and on some days I even add on another five minutes because it feels good and leaves my lips. After I remove the Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gel my lips are prepped and ready to go for the day so I can apply lipstick and/or lip gloss without even having to reach for the lip plumping products because my lips are full, moisturized and but best of all I immediately noticed that the fine lines around my lips are not even noticeable so my lipstick will not even travel to them! I did a happy dance because who doesn't want a fuller pucker with little to lines around the mouth! The ingredients that help me achieve a better lip shape and volume includes Niacinamide, Peptides and Green Tea Extract soothe and deliver anti-aging benefits. I love the Patchology FlashPatch Lip Gels for everything they are doing for my pucker and that gets 5 $$$$$ and is my beauty bag at all times!

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.

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.

Shop Skin1.com here @ http://www.skin1.com/
3 skincare products you can take with you on the go all summer long! dermalogica is a beauty bag must and found on www.skin1.com




When I start my skincare routine in the summertime I love to start with my eyes and the Dermalogica ultrasmoothing eye serum is perfect I immediately notice the texture is lightweight and soothing. After about a minute I am thrilled to notice that boost of moisture around my eyes is amped up which makes me so happy in the morning when my skin just feels and looks tired. This serum really wakes them up and infuses the fine lines with moisture. After about a week my eye area is firm and I notice a lot less puffiness. "Hyaluronic Acid optimizes hydration as our exclusive UltraCalming Complex helps minimize sensitivity." I had absolutely no sensitivity and I am so happy that I finally found the right serum with hyaluronic acid that does not irritate or hurt my sensitive skin! Buy this now @ http://www.skin1.com/dermalogica-ultrasmoothing-eye-serum.html

Now I know its summer and it may seem a little unnatural but my skin gets dry as a cactus in the summer, even though its hot and humid my skin feels so dry at the end of the day that it drives me nuts. I was so happy to see inside the Skin1.com box the dermalogica skin hydrating booster but what made me even happier was right after I applied some on my clean face it absorbed instantly and left my skin feeling hydrated, soft and supple. I am also happy to report that the lines on my forehead were diminished after a week of daily use. I credit the fact that this skin hydrating booster has algae extract that helps restore moisture balance which is what my skin needs during the summer months because I must face fact that diving into ocean water or the chlorinated pool will mess with my skins balance.  I find this to be an absolute MUST! Buy yours here @ http://www.skin1.com/derskinhydbo.html

The final piece that will help your summertime skin that will travel with you easily everywhere you go is the dermalogica barrier repair. I did not know how much my skin needed this until I actually used it. It is no secret that my skin is sensitive and I am careful about what I use and this was the answer to helping protect my skin against environmental stressors because  "it helps fortify skin's protective barrier to help restore healthy function, each application provides essential vitamins that guard the skin against free radicals that can cause inflammation and irritation."  I noticed in 3 days that my skin was calmed when using this each morning and all day my skin was never irritated or turned red from the dermalogica. I am grateful that it is free of fragrance and color. My stressed acne prone skin was truly relaxed and moisturized while using this and its a beauty bag must and the size of the tube allows you take it everywhere with you!
