LUMEDIA SKIN BRIGHTENER

Do you have sunspots, darker areas on your face or any other skin pigmentation you would like to get rid of? I did! It was not severe, but I definitely had an uneven skin tone, probably as a credit to all of the days I used to spend in the sun... So I tried this Skin Brightener from Lumedia. After only a couple of days of using it, I got my first compliment. A man at my daughters playgroup said my skin was gorgeously glowing and radiant. Wow! That kept me using the product for a while longer... I can't remember exactly how long I used this Skin Brightener, but it wasn't more than just a few weeks. I stopped once my skin tone was even, and looked more like the skin of a young child. I have not used it since then, which was probably about a year ago, and none of my spots have returned as of yet. Of course these days, I'm also a lot more careful about using a great sunscreen.
The only downside of this product was the scent. I am super-sensitive to scents and perfumes and really did not like the way it smelled. Lucky for me, it did it's job in just a few weeks time, so I didn't have to put up with the scent for too long.
I've found Spalook.com to have the best price for this product.

LOOKING FOR LONGER LASHES

My eye lashes have always been on the shorter, thinnner spectrum, and I have of course wished they were not. So when Revitlash came out with their product, I immediately wanted to give it a try. After a few days, the base line of my lashes looked a lot darker, as if more lashes was coming out from underneath. A few weeks into using the product, a significant improvement was noticable to anyone interested. My eyelashes was finally very long and thick, for the first time in my life.
The downside: I can't use it for several days in a row, as my eyes will begin to look red and irritated. So I use it pretty much every other night instead, and it still works wonders.
I bought it for $150, but I just found it at a discount price at The SkinStore, Natural Skin Care Products

I LOVE THE NEW IPHONE

I just absolutely LOVE the new IPHONE with increased storage. I no longer have to carry my phone, camera and IPOD in my purse, this all-in-one device, is covering all of my needs. And it is so easy to use, even my three year old has figured it out!

SUPER STYLISH "JETSETTER JR." BAG

I first saw and fell in love with this bag in the Lucky Magazine, Feb.08 issue. The "Jetsetter Jr." bag by Foley + Corinna, is sleek, chic, yet it holds all of my essentials. And with it's classic look and fine leather, I expect it to be one of my favorites for a long time to come.
I found mine at Fashion Chateau

POST WAXING BREAK OUT

I had my face waxed a few days ago, and woke up the next day to discover what looked like a massive acne attack. I applied a mud mask to try to extract what was in these bumps, just to find that there was really nothing to extract. It is NOT acne, or small pimples. After my husband and I thoroughly checked my skin, we discovered that it really looked a lot more like a rash, almost that of Poison Ivy, (which my face was VERY itchy as well), and decided to just nuture my skin, rather than trying to strip it! I started washing my face twice a day with a gentle cleanser, following an application of a great skin conditioning oil, and woke up the next day with some improvents. My bumps had almost completely vanished by day two of doing this routine. I wish I would have figured this out at the beginning instead of scrubbing my face for the first two days, and then applying harsh antibacterial/drying products on my precious skin.
At least next time I will know exactly what to do from the beginning...
