RSSUnrivaled Products 1: Beta Hydroxy Acid Gel
July 18, 2008
There are 3 skin care products that the market could not replace. They are unique either in their formulation, their performance, or their quality for the price. If they became unavailable, I know of no substitute. All 3 are made by Paula’s Choice.

Back in June, I posted an article featuring 2 Beautiful Bronzers For Early Summer. They are just as gorgeous now as they were then, but many of us have a little more color in our skin now. We’ve been wearing brighter colored clothes. We’re staying up later in the evenings and enjoying the deeper saturated colors of mid and late summer.

Did any of you have a chance to read the Beauty Bulletin dated June 26, 2008 from Paula’s Choice? The Beauty Bulletins are an easy to stay up to date on special promotions and the latest reviews. In this edition, Paula takes a departure from her product and consumer focused topics to tell a personal anecdote from her past. I LOVED this story.

Each year, I take a look at what’s on offer in the sunscreen world. Our family goes through 12-15 tubes in a summer, so I’m price-conscious. What I put on my face ( see the articles Clinique : A Gorgeous Lipstick, A Fabulous Sunscreen and 2 Estee Lauder Product Reviews : A Best-In-Class Sunscreen and a So-So Foundation ) and what my kids cover themselves with at the beach or the pool is not the same product. To show you how seriously I take sun protection, take a look at my new sunglasses.

As soon as warm weather arrives, we want a little more color on our face. It looks great and it’s a lovely way to celebrate the prospect of several months of summer. In Canada, it matters.
Bronzer is the best way to get that color. I think it’s also the most attractive. You can put it where you want it and never look burned. A real tan just looks old these days.

CLINIQUE : A GORGEOUS LIPSTICK, A FABULOUS SUNSCREEN
April 25, 2008
It ’s Clinique Bonus time at Sears Canada. I normally find the Bonus very hit-and-miss. Besides their High Impact mascara, there are very few Clinique products that I love and am willing to pay for. The lipsticks come in some good colors but have less staying power than Vaseline, whichever type I buy. The April 2008 bonus has some good things in it and it’s yours for a CDN$26.50 purchase.

6 MAKEUP SHIMMER DO’S
February 16, 2008
In the article published on January 18, 2008, entitled 10 Wrong Ways to Use Shimmer in Makeup, … well, I made it sound as though there was no right way to use shimmer in makeup.
Not true. Shiny products have the ability to bring out the best (as well as the worst). It only takes a [...]
