I like the ease of this product. There's a sheer tint combined with green tea and rosehip extracts making this both an under eye de-puffer and concealer in one.
I apply it just before my SPF moisturizer in the morning. To apply, roll it back and forth once then blend in with the ring finger. I tap any leftover product into the inner corners of my eyes as well.
It's got a very thin, almost watery consistency so it doesn't cake up or look overdone.
I really love that it's fragrance free and cool to the touch with the metal roller tip. It helps to wake up the eyes! The wand itself is easy to hold and easy to pack and go too.
A little treat from Garnier-thanks!

June Jacobs Perfect Peeling Pumpkin Enzyme
A spicy, extremely thorough enzyme exfoliant for most skin conditions. (not for acne or rosacea skin)
This has a deep penetrating smooth texture, making it a great alternative to an abrasive, physical scrub.
The enzymes go deeper into the epidermis, stimulating the cells. It's like they're getting a workout and reminding the cells to turn over. Also these enzymes eat up all of the dead protein cells and "glue" that bind them together. Skin looks fresh, firm and ready for deeper absorption of serums and moisturizers.
I use this product once a week in the bath or shower. I use about a dime size and moisturize it all over my face and neck. I leave it on and it does it's work without me scrubbing or manipulating it into my skin. After my bath or shower, about 7 minutes, I rinse it off with tepid water.
You can feel these enzymes working. It doesn't make me red but it is comfortably stimulating.
It's loaded with anti oxidants and is paraben/preservative free!

CG smoky shadow blast in Silver Sky
This creamy eyeshadow is an easy, affordable choice. Great for travel and many duos to choose from. So there's 2 colors in one stick-like tube. The step 1 color goes all over the eye lid blending up into the brow to highlight. The step 2 goes into the crease of the lid and along the bottom of the lid, closest to the lash line. You can make the line as fine or as wide as you like. You can also use on the lower eye line.
This product is easy to remove with a cotton swab so if you mess it up, just wipe and do again.
After I apply this shadow, I use my ring finger to blend it as needed. Meaning, if I put too much in the crease, I'll blend it over the crease until it lightens up and/or evens out.
It's easy to remove and if anything goes on lighter than darker.
These are dummy proof and yet still look like you know what you're doing when it comes to shadow colors so give this a try and play!

Silk Road Caravan by Stephen Nilsen/Fragrance Pencil
This handy .14 oz parfum crayon is a must especially for people on the go. This is one of 6 scents that are all inspired by teas from across the globe. These are exclusive to Anthropologie stores and are created by the fragrance house, Givaudan in Switzerland.
I was drawn to this scent because of it's apricot/vanilla notes along side peony and white tea. (I also adore the Vanille/Abricot Comptoir Sud Pacific Parfum Spray from France) This pencil glides over the pressure points and is ever so subtle in it's flavors. Just a few short glides is all you need.
There's a soft, silk-like string that you pull to get more more product at the tip. Truly glamorous and makes a terrific gift at only $10.00! It doesn't take up any space and really smells elegant not cheap. I'm super impressed-can you tell? Enjoy.

Revercel Perfect Glycolic Cleanser
I realize that I just blogged last week about a cleanser but I need to talk about this one too! I use this cleanser about 3 times a week at night. It's a perfect cleanser to use on the nights that you're using your Retin-A because it allows the Retin-A to penetrate deeper.
I use about a dime size and work it into my face, neck and chest. I use a soft baby washcloth to remove gently, rinsing the cloth with tepid water.
My skin feels tingly but it means it's getting deeper into the epidermis to loosen up the dead protein cells(dead skin) and bacteria. It promotes cell turnover so the skin takes on a fresh, firm texture. I don't recommend using it every day.
Glycolic acid is derived from sugar cane and has an anti-bacterial effect on the skin. For myself and many clients it's a perfect go-to for managing both breakouts and aging skin.
This cleanser is non-foaming and fragrance-free. For sensitive/rosacea skin use once or twice a week only. If you're new to glycolics, understand that this ingredient helps to draw out toxins in the skin. Mild breakouts can happen when first introducing into the skin. NO PICKING ALLOWED. :)

Eminence Organics Coconut Milk Cleanser
This ultra-rich milky cleanser is amazing for maturing skin. With healing, calming and anti-bacterial qualities it's a must for the aging and break-out prone skin.
I use a half pump for my entire face, neck and chest. I moisturize it into those areas then grab a damp, tepid baby washcloth. I swipe over all of the areas and follow with the rest of my routine. You don't even need to use water to remove this.
The smell is subtle and sensational.
If you're super dry or sun exposed this is great to use. It leaves the skin feeling nourished and loved. I like to describe this cleanser as a kicked up version of a creamy Cetaphil or Cera Ve cleanser! It doesn't strip away the natural lipids but deeper cleans and keeps the bacteria at bay.
Just try not to drink it because it smells like a Pina Colada! :)

Revlon Beyond Natural Cream Lipgloss in Pink/Rose
This tube of lip cream is great for just a hint of color and shine. There are no sparkles or "plumper" in this but it just feels great going on and is a quick fix. No need to look in a mirror to apply. I love throwing this on as a last minute pick me up for my face. Like when I'm rushing to get to work and have very minimal makeup on, this really draws attention to the lips so they look like I have spent some time on my makeup. It's my SYKE product!
With an angled tip it makes for an easy application and smells like butterscotch. I'm pleasantly surprised at how long the product stays on too.
The only thing missing is a sunscreen. It'd be wonderful to come out with the same thing only with an added SPF. hint hint (like anyone from Revlon is reading :) )
