This duo for the eyes is a super deal for around $35.00 for a 6-8 month supply.
It's like a stick and on one end is the concealer and the other end is a brightener.
I use 2 dots under my eyes of the concealer and 3 dots (1 under my eyes, 1 on the crow's feet section and 1 under the brow. Blending w/ the ring finger from the outside in these 2 mix together and make a natural, even cover to really open up the eyes.
Fragrance free. I love the "little bit goes a long way" product if you couldn't tell from previous posts. This is no exception. I'm glad I bought it and it does come with a diagram for application which is a little bonus for the skeptics. There's 2 different shades to choose from. Light/Medium and Medium/Dark.

Eminence Organics Lime Stimulating Masque
Around $60.00 for a 2 oz jar.
This detoxifying and firming exfoliant is excellent for mature skin as it really tightens and deep cleans.
I use about a pea-size of this non-grit exfoliant about once every 2 weeks. I create a little paste by adding a little water to my hands and spread it all over my face, neck and chest. As I'm showering, the steam keeps it wet and it's less time consuming. So I just leave it alone and it really goes to work. After about 5 or so minutes I'll rinse with tepid water and pat dry. Yes, my skin is rosy for about 10 minutes but that's a good thing! It means my skin just got a work out and is going to glow!!! It's very important that we exercise our pores periodically so the skin remains youthful and firm. Remember, as we lose our estrogen the pores want to stretch-no sir!!!!
There's lots of vit c in this product as well as the vit a and nettle, which give the sensation.
The smell is fresh and energizing- making this a true beauty treat for most. Not recommended for rosacea skin. For more oily skin, feel free to add a little grit of your choice to the lime to regulate the sebum more. For example, try the 10 grains from eminence to add as a grit. Just don't ever, no matter what the skin type/condition, rub your skin raw thinking it'll get cleaner. You'll just break capillaries and confuse the oil glands to then produce more. Always use tepid water, everyone, always always always. Trust me.

The Body Shop- Brush On Buff- Perles de Soleil -Caramel
These little pearls of color are so much fun and easy to use on the cheeks.
I use these as a blush but you could use them anywhere like the eyelids, chest or all over for a luminous glow.
Just grab a fluffy blush brush and swirl into the pot of pearls, tap and apply along the apples of the cheeks and up through the cheekbone, onto the temple and into the hairline.
I use this product for day or night. They're more of a pink tone on the skin so these would be a wonderful addition to a bride on her big day.
Subtle and sweet.
The .8 oz pot has lasted about 2 years and there's a lot of color pearls left inside which means I'll probably have them another 2 years. Ok, typically you don't want to hold on to most makeup that long but these balls of color are compacted tight and I have yet too see any "blooming" or odd scent. Those are some things to look for. Blooming is when the product gets a white-ish film over the top of it and doesn't give color anymore. For example, if you've ever eaten an old piece of chocolate, it gets that whitish "bloom" over it and it tastes really old and musty. Same idea with eyeshadows, blush, compacts. Only hopefully we don't eat them!!!!
Anyhoo, I'm rambling...thanks.

Laura Mercier Star Dust Loose Setting Powder
A jar of this pixie dust :) is around $20.00 and really helps to bronze the skin.
I use it around the outer portion of my face, a little on the cheeks and all over my neck and chest.
A killer product to use for a night out, a tropical vacation and for all you brides and bridesmaids!
Just use a fluffy brush and tap out any extra then dust over the desired areas.
It gives such a healthy look and adds some sparkle too.
Have fun with it but not too much fun. A little goes a long way!

Lumene Crystal Radiance Skin Tone Perfector
Yes, I'm a huge Lumene fan. And the fact that you can get the line @ CVS Pharmacy is even better!
Around $12.00 for this 1 oz tube, it really illuminates the skin.
I mix a small pea size with my moisturizer in the day time when I'm a little broken out and it helps to reflect the light and even out the redness.
I recommend that anyone who has some "pock-mark" acne scars and/or hyper-pigmentation use this to illuminate and help to erase the marks especially for photos & special events.

Elizabeth Arden Lip Talkers in Sugar Plum
A smooth lip color and liner all in a stick. It's a fatter pencil and easy to line with too.
Around $10.00 and lasts a very long time. Wears a long time too on the lips but it's not a stain.
I enjoy the color because it's matte and natural looking.
I sometimes apply a clear gloss over it if I want a little shine.
This is a universal color that most people can wear. Beautiful.

Tweezerman slanted tweezers
This product is a bargain(at $20.00) especially when it comes with a lifetime warranty and lifetime free sharpening!
You can purchase at Tweezerman.com or even Bed Bath and Beyond!
A good rule of thumb is to not over tweeze and only clean up in between brows, above and below the brow line. We tend to get a thinner left brow if we're right handed and vice-versa. So leave them alone. The fuller the brow, the younger we look.
This is the only brand of tweezers that I use. Durable, well-made and easy to use.
