Dior

Oh, Dior! How in LOVE, I am with you! This has got to be my favorite item this summer, by far! Visted my local Sephora and yes, there in the Dior section, was this work of art! Literally! When I use this many exclamation points in my blog, it's because I've fallen and I've fallen HARD!!! This photo does not do this masterpiece justice. It's wayyy more beautiful in person! This nail lacquer cost me $30, but I LOVE it and it's worth every single penny, as far as I'm concerned. If you're a fan of Dior, don't even think twice about it -- just go out and get it, before I run out and buy all the ones which remain in the universe! :)

DERMAdoctor

About a month ago, I purchased a product that literally transformed my skin. I had been battling with dry patches, flakiness, uneven skin, the list goes on... I currently use "Retinol" products and we all know, how drying those products are. For me, however, the benefits outweighed the cons. So I ventured out to find a product, which will allow me to use my retinol products, while tackling the redness, dryness and dulling effects. I found it!!! While we all know that retinol products consistently exfoliates your skin, you need something more powerful to exfoliate what retinols leave behind. That's where DERMAdoctor Wrinkle Revenge 1 comes in. There is a 1, 2 and 3. The difference? They all contain a different level of glycolic acid (the main ingredient in exfoliation). Because the percentage of the glycolic acid in all of them differs (the higher the number, the stronger the glycolic acid content) you must first, start out slowly, working your way up. I am currently using Wrinkle Revenge 1 and when my skin adapts, I'll move up to Wrinkle Revenge 2 and so on. I have always been a soapy feely kind of girl, which means; I love the feeling of my skin whenever I used something with a lathering agent in it. With the DERMAdoctor, however, I use it on my dry skin and my skin has never felt so clean. Dry skin, you ask? Yes, you can use on wet or dry skin. It is suggested that when trying for the first time, you use on wet skin. I use it when my skin is dry, as my skin is adapting very well. You may/will experience a burning sensation, depending on the sensitivity of your skin. That is the glycolic acid doing it's job. I no longer have dry, flaky, redness, cracked skin, since I've been using this product. This is now a staple in my skincare routine. This product can be purchased at: Ulta, Sephora and DERMAdoctor.com

I recently made a really cool purchase at Ulta. I've always taken pretty good care of my facial skin, but have somewhat neglected the overall care of my body skin. Until now, that is. I picked up their Ginger Sugar Scrub, which I use everyday! It's meant to be used a couple of times a week, but I love it so much -- that I have to use it everyday. In addition, I use their Lemon Sugar Body Lotion every moment that I can. I am so madly in love with these products and they do my body so good. :) They are pretty reasonable in price + your Ulta $3.50 coupon can be applied towards them. I am completely gaga over this line and highly recommend it to anyone who wants beautiful, luxurious skin.  

Makeup Accessories

We all know that to have the perfect made up face, entails having and utilizing the perfect application accessories. That's where this tool comes into action. It's called the "Bionic Flat Top Buffer, a.k.a. Stippling Brush by Coastal Scents." This little tool is amazing! It gives you an airbrushed look after makeup application, every time! I LOVE it! I bought mine on Amazon, for maybe $9.00, if that and it was a wonderful investment. This makeup accessory assists in keeping your makeup "germ" free and making you look like you just had your makeup applied by a professional. Other companies make this little tool, too. Mine just happens to be by Coastal Scents and so therefore, this review is based on it. 

Foundation Surprise

I want to make this review on one of my favorite foundations, by far. The foundation is by Lancôme and it's called; "Teint Idole Ultra 24 Hour Makeup." At first, I tried this foundation over a year ago and was somewhat conflicted as to how I really felt about it. After resuming with the use of some of my other foundations, I found myself remembering how comfortable my skin felt with this foundation. How even and how well hydrated my skin looked and felt. Also, how much coverage this makeup had, without the heaviness and cakey feel the wrong foundation can have. So, you guessed it, I went back to my local Lancôme counter and purchased my second bottle. I still may switch my foundations, from time to time, because I love to try new things, but whenever I want the most radiant skin ever, I will definitely turn to this little miracle worker. :)
