Try This Tuesday- Amazing Eye Products

Hello Gorgeous!

Today I need to share three products that I use to help give my eyes that wide awake look. My eyes tend to have dark circles under them, and I have looked and looked for great product to help combat the darkness. I have found it! The Oz Naturals Super Eye Gel has been a game changer for me. This product is gel based and I use it in the morning and evening on under my eyes. It is a very lightweight formula and goes on smooth. The dark circles around my eyes started to fade away in just a few uses. 

It was hard to get a good picture but you can faintly see the OZ Naturals gel below. This product goes on smooth and is a good base to then apply concealer.

The It Cosmetics CC Bye Bye Under Eye concealer is a miracle product. I have used most of the IT Cosmetics line but this one is by far the best. It is a thicker based formula which does require blending but the concealing it does is worth every bit of the blending.

I know I have posted about Benefit Cosmetics' Lemon Aid product before but it is fantastic. I love it because it is yellow in colour and truly gets rid of any discolouration on my face. I tend to use it around my nose if there is redness, as well as, any other red spots I may have. This is a must-have product in your collection.

What are your favourite products for getting that 'bright -eyed' look? Let me know.

Monday Musings- Piol Dress

Hello Gorgeous!

Have you ever wanted to custom create your own clothing? Of course you have, because then the piece of clothing would be tailored to your own measurements and flatter your body. You could also choose what colour you would like your clothing item to be. Today I have found how to custom create your own dress, right down to the fit, colour, and size. 

Piol Dress lets you create your perfect go-to dress. I had so much fun on the Piol Dress website. When you enter the site you are asked about your skin tone, hair colour and eye colour. Once you have clicked a few buttons you then get a colour palette of fabric swatches best suited to your unique attributes. Piol Dress lets you choose the cut and fit of your dress, shift, sheath, tailored, draped, and draped empire . You can add sleeves, a different neck line, a unique skirt and hem line. I had the hardest time choosing what my ideal dress would be, until the Piol Dress design room recommended the colour block navy hem added touch. I am so happy with how my dress turned out, I have worn it so much since getting it a few weeks ago! Will you design your own Piol Dress? Let me know I am sure you will love the process as much as I did.

Skincare Lessons with Enza Essentials (and me with no makeup)

Hello Gorgeous!

This has been a post I have been very excited to share with you for the last month now. I have always struggled with unclear skin, blemishes, and blackheads have just always been there. Even now, in my thirties I am still challenged by skin that I am never satisfied with. I am happy to say that over the last month the skin on my face had never looked so good. What's the secret you ask? I realize I am a very lucky girl because I have teamed up with Enza Essentials to share the re-invention of my skin.

Enza Essentials is an advanced skincare line that offers customized products and routines specific to your skin. I was shocked when I got my box of Enza Essentials because there were so many products in it. I was always used to cleansing, toning and moisturizing, but the skincare reigmen Enza provided for me added in many new products that have made all the difference.

Inside my Enza box was my new customized skin care regimen. This has been the most helpful piece of paper because the steps are so easily laid out on how and when to use each product.

Here is what I got to try in my Enza box,

1. Sustaining Cleanser, Toner and Glow Creme- these products are fantastic. I used them twice a day and my skin really likes the formula.
2. The Fine Facial Polish- this is a fine scrub that I use two times a week, I really enjoy using this product because my skin gets an extra deep cleaning. This product is a great exfoliant.
3. Face Firming Complex- I use this once a day, it is a nice smooth cream texture, as I am in my thirties I am hoping this will help prevent the aging that I know is coming.
4. RosaCalm- this product looks like aloe vera, it has helped to tone the redness in my skin because I tend to have quite a bit of red undertones.
5. Glycolic Serum-  this is a clear liquid/light gel that I use two times a day. It goes on liquid and dries quite quick. I then use my moisturizer after.
6. Pore Extraction Mask- this is my favourite product by far, I never knew that I mask could extract my blackheads. Long gone are the days of pushing or pricking at these pesky pimples. The mask works better than anything I have tried.
7. Spot Extractor- I love this product just as much as the mask above. this is a clear serum that works to extract blackheads.
8. Eyebright Intensive Eye Creme- I use this twice a day and it really has helped reduce the darkness under my eyes. I do not have a lot of puffiness under my eyes so this product is perfect for my needs.
9. SPF 30 Moisturizer- this is a thicker formula but I find my foundation goes on so much nicer after I use this.

The Enza products are amazing! I am so thankful for the wonderful products I am using right now. I never knew how much a great skincare routine, with the right products could benefit my skin. I never go without makeup but here it is!

Try This Tuesday- Yes! by Finishing Touch

Hello Gorgeous!

I have a great Try This for you today! This is a product that is so useful, is very small and saves you lots of time on personal grooming. Yes! by Finishing Touch is a pain free hair removal device that gets rid of unwanted hair in the smallest of places. I know you are thinking.  pain free?, yea right!. Well lovely ladies I am here to tell you it is truly pain free. Each Yes! by Finishing Touch comes with two grooming attachments, one for longer hair and one for shorter hair. To activate Yes! by Finishing Touch you have to touch the purple end to your skin and a light will come on (shown below). Once the light is on you can touch the device to your skin and move it gently up and down and you will see your hair disappearing.

I have found the Yes! by Finishing Touch to be most helpful in those hard to shave or wax areas. Getting into those more personal areas on the body can be challenging, but the Yes! is amazing at removing hair. Even in the most sensitive places there is still no pain when using the Yes!

You can see below that I did use the Yes! on my legs (I regularly shave so I used the grooming tool for shorter hairs). I love how it makes my legs looks smooth and silky, and you know those hairs that you always miss? Well the Yes! comes in really handy to get rid of those.

I always moisturize after removing hair. I am so thrilled that I found and tried the Yes! by Finishing Touch and for $40 it is a great buy!
