Posted in Recent Events on September 22nd, 2009 by Kristen Jason – 2 Comments

Olay Regenerist has a really great freebie offer. With the purchase of any two Regenerist facial moisturizers, facial treatments, or facial cleansers by 10/11/09 you can get a free Anti-Aging Roller. Go to http://www.olay.com/Club_Olay/sept2009/images/Regenerist_Rebate_Form.pdf for the rebate form. The Regenerist Anti-Aging Eye roller has precision micro rollers (which reduce puffiness) that gently massage an anti aging treatment into the eye area. The result, like the rest of the Regenerist line, is younger looking skin. All of Regenerist products feature a unique complex that renews the skin’s outer layer with ingredients including green tea extract, allantoin, and vitamin E.

The quicker we can get ready to go to work, the better. L’Oreal Brow Stylist 3- in- 1 Brow tool not only saves space, but time rummaging through your bag looking for your tweezers and eyebrow brush. The liner is a powder based formula that gives soft lines (no circus eyebrows!). The cap for the liner is actually a brow brush, which you can use to blend the color on your brows. On the other side of the liner, there is a cap that contains pull out tweezers. The colors available are Blonde, Light Brown, and Medium-Dark Brown.

L’Oreal Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother

Posted in Product Reviews on September 21st, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on L’Oreal Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother

For years there has not been a comparable product to Estee Lauder’s best-seller, Idealist Pore Minimizing Skin Refinisher, which retails for around $46.50. So we applaud L’Oreal for coming out with a product that’s just as effective, but is available in local drugstores.

Selling at around $19.99, the Skin Genesis Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother is one of the few skin care products that we’ve seen that gives instant results. Unlike many of the all natural organic products that are being launched today, L’Oreal has a more scientific approach for the Skin Genesis line. However, all the formulas are dermatologist tested to be safe and gentle.

To start with, even the packaging is advanced. Pore Minimizing Skin Re-Smoother has a unique airless pump, which protects the formula. It also doesn’t hurt that the tube is really neat looking! This product claims to tighten pores and retexturize skin, and it actually delivers. After one application, our pores looked smaller and our skin was softer.

The active ingredients are pro-xylane and hyaluronic acid (used by dermatologists for wrinkles). This product is to be used daily, underneath moisturizer. This formula absorbs in the skin very rapidly, and we found that we could not use it without moisturizer. It’s also very lightweight, so we didn’t feel like we had a lot of product on our skin.

Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

Posted in Product Reviews on September 18th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

We are always a fan of multi-purpose products, and Dove Ultimate Visibly Smooth Anti-Perspirant Deodorant is our new favorite. This formula works well as an anti-perspirant and deodorant, but Dove took it a step further and made it so it conditions your skin AND decreases hair growth. It really works, and you’re less prone to razor bumps this way. This is a must for anyone who enjoys wearing sleeveless tops on a regular basis.

Clearasil StayClear Skin Perfecting Wash

Posted in Product Reviews on September 17th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on Clearasil StayClear Skin Perfecting Wash

When people are searching for a gentle cleanser, they usually don’t think to go to product lines that are targeted to teens with acne. However, Clearasil’s StayClear Skin Perfecting Wash is the gentlest exfoliator we’ve ever tried. The microbeads are extremely small and rounded, so you don’t have to worry about irritating your skin. Salicylic acid can be drying, but this creamy face wash also contains moisturizing ingredients so your skin can be acne free AND soft. Since this product is gentle enough for everyday use, this is our new daily face wash (luckily the bottle has a generous amount). This particular face wash also removed makeup off better than the other Clearasil face washes we’ve tried.

In addition, 3000 coupons were distributed which will bring the customers back, and 51% of customers surveyed intended to make a purchase.

The Saturday event was supported by an ad and the same store sales increased in these 93 stores by 17% in dollars and almost 23% in units. The chain is considering offering more such events combined with super saver ad programs.

Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara

Posted in Product Reviews on August 13th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – 1 Comment

We’ve found mascara that isn’t so thick that it clumps but doesn’t have so much liquid that it smudges. We liked the Revlon Beyond Natural Defining Mascara creamy formula, because you can layer without clumping. This mascara also has a unique brush so you can actually comb through your lashes. The result is very natural looking; we suggest this product for when you’re going to be outside or for work.

Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer

Posted in Product Reviews on August 11th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer

Usually concealers thick enough to cover dark eye circles are creamy and not really appropriate for blemishes. We liked Maybelline Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Concealer because it hid our dark circles completely, but since it’s oil, talc, and fragrance free, we could use it on other imperfections. Now we don’t need two concealers- we can see why this product won beauty awards from Oprah Magazine and Marie Claire.

CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner

Posted in Product Reviews on August 10th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner

Looking for a goof-proof way to use bold eyeliner? Try CoverGirl LineExact Liquid Liner. The compact pen and felt tip makes using liquid eyeliner a cinch. We liked the polished look it gave our eyes. You can achieve a very thin line or a bold line by changing the pressure when you apply it. What we liked the most is that the eyeliner didn’t move all day, but washed off completely with our regular facial cleanser. No special eye makeup remover needed!

Zapzyt Acne Wash

Posted in Product Reviews on August 6th, 2009 by Kristen Jason – Comments Off on Zapzyt Acne Wash

When visiting the skin care aisle any drug store, you’ll see that you have to choose between mild cleansers and harsh products for acne. We were on the hunt for something that would destroy acne, but not our skin in the process, and came across Zapzyt Acne Wash.

Zapzyt is a line of products geared toward eliminating acne (hence the name), and they are so confident about their product that they offer a money back guarantee. We were excited to see that Zapzyt Acne Wash contains skin soothing ingredients like aloe and chamomile. Using cleansers with salicylic acid on a daily basis can take a toll on those of us with sensitive skin…but we found that we were able to keep using it without any irritation.

Zapzyt products are available at about every drug store in the nation, if you’d like to give it a try check out http://zapzyt.com/products/ to get a coupon for $2.00 of any Zapzyt product.
