STRIVECTIN-SD Eye Concentrate


I absolutely LOVE this eye concentrate.

Yes, its expensive, but a hell of a lot cheaper than an eye lift or face lift :)

The texture of the cream is light and it just feels silky soft.  When I put it on my eyes, it gives off a slight tingling sensation.  Which, I actually enjoy.  It makes me think its working.  I truly believe that this cream, in the little amount of time that I used it so far, has made a difference in my eyes.  I did take before and after pictures that I will post on my page, however, you really cant tell.  I am telling you though from someone that knows creams, serums, etc. THIS IS WORTH IT!

I am going to buy this ASAP!  Oh and when I went shopping downtown Chicago at Macy's on Sunday...they literally had a whole display in the makeup section of this stuff and it was $69...thats $10 more dollars than on BLOOM ($59)!  BUY IT NOW!!!!!  Its going to be a huge craze.  I can feel it.

Dr Dennis Gross Extra Strenth Alpha Beta Peel Packettes (www.bloom.com


Ok, so I actually do peels very often at home myself.

I have to say that I like the convenience of Dr Dennis Gross's packets.

These handy little things are nice if you are a peeling at home novice.

There is a moist towelette that you use first (check out my video on how to use).  This is the peeling power.  It has a pepperminty smell and a slight tingle on my face the first time.  I left this on for 2 minutes, like the instructions state.  

After this, there is a moist towelette for step 2.  This one does not smell.  This is the neutralizer.

So after the five treatments, I felt that my skin felt much smoother.  I did not notice any size difference in my pores, which I would love if it did (check out my day one pic and day 5 pic...my skin definitely looks healthier).

My suggestion for sensitive skin people OR if you are nervous about how its going to work on your skin....start with a very small area and leave it on for only a minute.  The longer you leave the peel, the more action going on.

Also, like I said, this is a little pricey, HOWEVER, like I already stated, for a peel at home novice, this is PERFECT and worth the price.  I buy bottles of peeling solution and just use water as a neutralizer so this seems a little bit too expensive to me.  If you go to a spa/salon, you will basically get the same product for $50-100.  So the $5-10 per packet is worth it.

STILA IN THE KNOW PALETTE (www.bloom.com)

Oh, Oh, OHHHHH BLOOM!

Yes!  I think you can read my mind.
This palette was such a find.

I have been searching for a palette minus shimmer.
This is the perfect palette without all of the glimmer

Perfect for a night out.
Or just hanging about.

Oh, oh, OH, OHHHH!!!

So I obivously really love this palette.  There is a perfect blend of colors, mixed with a couple that pop.  Its definitely my new favorite palette (my old one was NAKED by Urban Decay).  This palette does not have any glitter or sparkles, which was EXACTLY what I wanted.  I felt like I have grown up with my palette.  I made a great new look with this and the beau even noticed!  That is like unheard of.  He was like, "your eyes look really pretty tonight."  HA!  LOVE IT.  Check out my pics on my bloom
