PureGloss Soft Peach by Jane Iredale



Surprise! This tube of gloss had a wand that I hadn't realized existed. The wand allowed me to apply smoothly and evenly over naked lips or a deeper-hued lipstick.

The wand was a great surprise benefit. Another positive was the tingly, fresh-smelling long lasting shimmer. I was pleased to find out that what made the gloss tingly was fresh mint and ginger. Better yet this gloss was made with pure mineral pigments in an organic oil.

When I chose this product to review, I was drawn to the color and the subtle shimmer. I have found that the perfect balance of peach and nude is a challenge to find. It exceeded my expections in regard to color. It looked more beautiful on my lips than it did in the tube. And does it not look radiant in the picture?! Better on your lips though if you can imagine that being possible....

Perfect for your tween, or for you forty, fifty or sixty-somethings - as if the above isn't enough to convince you to buy it, this product is also a paraben-free PETA product.

CellRenew Rx Cell Recharging Gold Serum by Dr. Denese New York

It was not a coincidence when the other day I got a compliment about "how good" my skin looked! I began applying CellRenew Rx Cell Recharging Gold Serum by Dr. Denese for a week prior to happening upon this compliment bearer.

After cleansing my skin I applied this product to my damp face, neck and the delicate skin on my hands. At first I was surprised then quite pleased to see the gold flecks in the serum.

This serum went on smooth with no greasy feel. It had little scent, but a pleasing clean aroma.

I used the product straight for seven nights. I noticed after the first application that some dark patches had appeared that I hadn't seen as prominently before (I have always been a sun goddess). Two nights later those patches were completely gone.

Small lines around my eyes were less noticeable. However, the biggest difference was the increased tone of my skin.

I faithfully use Dr. Denese's microdermabrasion machine three times a week.As a result of using that product, I have learned the value of stimulating collagen. Since I am a forty-something, my collagen production has slowed down. Therefore, using CellRenew Rx in conjunction with the Dr. Denese Microdermabrasion machine has undoubtedly added to "how good" I looked when I received the unsolicited compliment about my skin.

I will continue to enjoy both of these amazing products by Dr. Denese. I hope she will offer a foundation product with the same glowing gold that is offered in CellRenew. A girl just never can have too much gold in her life. Thank you Dr. Denese for helping me to look my best and to enjoy being beautiful! This product is one I will forever keep close by. I will grow old with it but no one will suspect I am a day over 40 - that is how good it is. I award it five stars - gold ones that is!!
