NATURAL ACNE SOLUTIONS

To take a break from my daily acne treatments, I have been using the BURT'S BEES NATURAL ACNE TREATMENTS for one month. The two treatments I've been using twice daily is the Deep Cleansing Cream and Daily Moisturizing Lotion. I'm giving the two products a FAIR rating. The deep cleansing cream has a nice creamy consistency that reminds me of Noxema and the daily moisturizing lotion is silky and smooth but made my already oily skin very shiny with its silky texture. Overall my experience with this product was okay for the first 2 weeks and not so good for the last 2 weeks because of breakouts. 

HIGH SOCIETY MOR

Originally I purchased the MOR HIGH SOCIETY GIFT PACK for a friend on a neighboring island but after receiving it, I decided I would hang on to it for another friend that lives in the contiguous states. The scent is a vanilla musk with jasmine flower but the floral scent is more pronounced than the vanilla making it too strong for island wear. I'm giving this product a FAIR rating because the scent is too florally and strong. I was under the impression that the vanilla would be the stronger scent and the jasmine flower a background note with musk. The packaging I love and inside the box the lotion and hand cream came wrapped in a MOR logo printed tissue paper. 

COUNTRY CHIC

Last weekend I threw one of my dearest friends a baby shower. As a thank you gift, she gave me the Country Chic collection by BATH AND BODY WORKS. I love this scent. I give it an EXCELLENT rating. Everything about it is so me. On the description, it's a blend of lemon, bright wildflowers and spring woods but to me it has the scent of berries with a lemon background. I love it. I use theFRAGRANCE MIST and BODY LOTION before heading out the door. To end my day, I've been using the amazing SHOWER GEL. It's very fragrant with lots of lather and it makes me and my steamy bathroom smell so good. The TRIPLE MOISTURE BODY CREAM is packed with moisture making it perfect for my feet at night before getting into bed.  

STILLA ULTIMATE COLOR PALETTE

 Are you an impulse buyer sometimes? I know I am. When purchasing this STILLA ULTIMATE COLOR PALETTE, I grabbed it because the price was right. Normally, before purchasing any beauty product, I research and get feed back from customers online and I visit beauty counters for swatches and samples to ensure that I'm making a wise purchase. Unfortunately, Stilla is not available on KAUAI so I wasn't able to do my normal swatching and the customer feedback that I did read about was for new Stilla items. Overall, my thoughts on this palette are FAIR. The palette includes 39 eye shadows, 15 lip colors, 4 cheek colors, applicators and brushes. Most of the eye shadows are hard to blend and very light in color even when adding 2 or 3 layers. The lip colors are nice and wearable. The Hawaiian temperature makes the lip colors very soft in their pans which can get a little messy when applying. The blushes I love but having them so close to the lip glosses without ample amount of room in between the two makes it so that I get gloss on my blush brush. My teen daughter has been using this palette and she likes it. The light pigment of each color makes it appropriate for school. 

MYGLAM BAG APRIL 2012

April's MYGLAM bag had a girls night out theme. My 2 favorite items from the bag were the metallic pink zippered makeup bag because it pairs perfectly with my gold purse and the Dermstore lip quench moisture infused lip treatment. I'm always in need of lip moisturizers so I can never have too many laying around and in my bag. I've been carrying this one in my purse since receiving it.


The complete contents of the bag included:
One pink metallic zippered makeup bag
Urban Decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil in the color woodstock .03 fl oz
Dermstore lip quench moisture infused lip treatment .21 fl oz

MYGLAM BAG MARCH 2012

I loved the MYGLAM bag I received in March. I got a sample of the Pur-lisse pur-lip comfort daily lip nourisher that I would have never purchased because I was not familiar with the brand and had never heard of it before. I have used it many times since receiving it and I love it because it works really well. The bag also included a $25 gift card to Dermstore which could be used toward any $50 purchase. I did make a purchase about a month after receiving my bag and paid $27 for $53 worth of product. Overall, I was very pleased with my subscription purchase.  


Here is a list of all the contents of the bag:
One zippered makeup bag in a spring floral print
Pur-lisse pur-lip comfort daily lip nourisher .38 fl oz
