Instant Radiance Moisturiser by Decleor

Oranges. Vitamin C. Figs. I couldn't wait to review this product! It exuded a healthy and yumminess - almost tasty enough to eat for breakfast! Even though it was labeled as "instant" I gave this moisturiser a full five day test drive. I watched the instructional video to the left and applied a pearl size amount on my neck and face in the morning and at night. True to it's claim, you can wear this moisturiser under your makeup without it feeling greasy.

Because of the vitamins and antioxidants (and bright and happy yellow tube) I knew my skin was receiving a treat. Because I am in the sun often, this would be the perfect accompaniment for me to throw into my beach bag and apply before I apply sunscreen. I have found after being in the sun and wearing sunscreen my skin becomes tan but greasy and dry at the same time. Instant radiance moisturiser would solve both of those problems at one time.

I often make a homemade citrus scrub with olive oil, lemon juice or extract and salt. Instant Radiance Moisturiser by Decleor smells just like my homemade concoction! The fruit extracts are wonderful and so much more convenient than me having to "whip up" a batch of my own recipe. I look forward to reviewing more of Decleor's products. I am encouraged because of the natural elements (free radical protection and PETA product as well!).

Loved the back-to-basics philosophy of this product. This product falls in line with my philosophy as well, "If you can't eat it, you shouldn't use it!" I would buy it! Don't just take my opinion as Gospel tho - check out Dr. Craig's review of Decleor http://www.dermstore.com/reviews/details_Decleor_5835.htm for yourself.

Rejuvenating Treatment Masque by Exuviance

I was excited to review this product as a good peel is hard to find. I was not disappointed! I cleansed my face, then applied and left on for the full 20 minutes. It would be easy to forget you have the masque on so set a kitchen timer. This masque did not tighten up and dry out like most other peels I have used.

I realized upon attempting to peel it off that I had not slathered the product on thick enough to actually peel it off so instead I washed it off with warm water and a sea sponge. I enjoyed the fresh clean scent and did not have dry skin after I dried my face.

I have a confession tho. At first when I unscrewed the cap and smelled the product for a mini-second, I was briefly reminded of Elmer's glue (I know that doesn't sound nice but it is true).
I did want to point out that the box states "Ideal for normal/combination skin." The tube states "For all skin types" and the web description states "Suitable For These Skin Types: Combination, Flush, Oily, Normal, Sensitive, Dry, All." I'd say then that all the bases are covered. Any age would benefit from using this product.

I would def recommend this product for an at-home peel. It is a great value. Going to a spa is not only expensive but inconvenient for a person on the go. My lasting impression was great and I look forward to using Exuviance Treatment Masque often.

Spa Face Aromatherapy Neroli Water by Kerstin Florian

Oh my! I wanted to jump into an ocean full of this product and never come up for air! Spa Face Aromatherapy Neroli Water refreshed the second the light mist hit my face, and my neck, and my arms... The scent of bitter orange calmed me. Interestingly, the scent was reminiscent of all of the white flowers I have come to love throughout my lifetime. Did Spa Face create this product exclusively for me? :-)

I spritzed this neroli water throughout my day. The petite bottle allowed me to stash it away in my purse, on my bathroom sink, on the go. It was the perfect size to take with me should I want to have it handy on a flight or checked in my luggage.

No doubt this product serves two purposes: 1. Tones (sans cotton ball) 2. Refreshes and revitalizes in seconds. This product is clearly a mood booster and much needed in our stressful day--to-day existence.

See it for yourself! See Ms. Florian's Youtube presentation by clicking here.

Buy one for your enemy. He/She will become your best friend. Buy one for your best friend to prevent him/her from taking yours - thus becoming your enemy. Hey, I may even buy my Mother-In-Law a bottle - maybe she will finally give me her sauce recipe!

Optical Illusions Colore - Corrector Pen "Dust in the Wind" by Colorescience Pro

As I reviewed this product I realized for me -  this product had a bit of a learning curve in regard to 1. choosing the correct color for the correct season 2. how to get the cap off. As I tackled the easier task - I realized the longer gold cap was what I needed to pull off and the shorter gold cap was the handle which I needed to twist until the product appeared on the sponge head as shown to the right.  I applied the shade Dust in the Wind under my eyes as well as under my eye brows.

I asked, "Why not?" as I applied to my eyelids. At first, I thought the color was too dark as it appeared ruddy within the first few seconds I applied it. However, as I lightly rubbed all of the product into my skin I realized what an amazing product Optical Illusions was for an evening out. My skin tone absorbed and embraced it!

Currently, I have a bronzed skin tone from tanning in the South Florida sun. Therefore, this shade was perfect for me for now. However, after researching more about this unique creamy powder, I plan to investigate the shade Remedy that Red for my particular skin color and tone for those months when I do not have a suntan.

Just a hint about the sponge applicator. It was a bit scratchy then I realized I had run out of product on the tip. As soon as I twisted more product, I got way too much all at once. I learned to be patient and just twist a few times so that I would not waste the product. Having just enough product on the sponge tip is key to successfully adding it. Make sure you rub it in with your finger. The rubbing in of the product allowed it to successfully blend in with my skin and do it's work effectively. Before I blended it in, it was way too dark.

Optical Illusions Colore Corrector Pen is a unique as well as a multi purpose product. I felt it had cutting-edge appeal for all ages and skin tones. It truly delivered the promise of reducing puffiness and fine lines. The zinc oxide and titanium dioxide for UV protection is a nice added bonus for daytime use.

I would recommend those considering purchasing this product to do your research beforehand. Meaning, read the full description at Dermstore.com so you will know which shade is perfect for you for when you want to wear it (remember - it serves many purposes for many seasons).

Check it out today as there is a Free Gift with Purchase as of the date of this review. Also, DermStore offers free shipping on all orders all the time. No time to waste! Those puffy eyes could use some  carrot oil to nourish, cocoa butter to moisturize, and who would turn down dark chocolate extract which will brighten your eyes (and not add an ounce to the scale). Optical Illusions Colore Corrector Pen delivers all that and more!

Nail Lacquer - Airhead by SpaRitual

The perfect shade of pink, in a rugged bottle which refused to break (I dropped it on my terrazzo floor by accident). Speaking of product design, this product's designer went above and beyond by giving me a rugged, rubber applicator handle. I really appreciated the attention to detail as Yes, I am one of those who multi-task while in the car (I polish while waiting...)! Not that it is spill proof but less likely to slip through your fingers when self-polishing.

The directions state to apply two coats of lacquer. Doing so is imperative. I smiled as I also read the other directions, "Roll before using". The round bottle literally makes you want to roll not shake. And btw - it did roll across my terrazzo floor...

My only objection about this product was its claim to be based on Numerology. Personally, I felt that listed "benefit" was not necessary to advertise to the masses but rather a personal preference of the designer. Not a benefit to me, however knowing this product was a PETA product, vegan and Paraben-free was a bonus which did deserve applause. Also, after wearing this product on both hands and feet for over a week now I can tell you it took a beating and remained spa perfect!!

Low fumes, quick drying and absolutely as good or better than an expensive manicurist could provide, SpaRitual is now for me, a must-have for summer. Actually, living in South Florida I will no doubt wear it throughout the year. It is a beautiful natural shade and perfectly compliments my tan and my favorite pair of strappy sandals!! You can find Airhead by SpaRitual and so many more colors at DermStore. Skip the spa, save your money and purchase this nail lacquer today (remember though to roll not shake well and two coats!).
