Monoi Body Glow and Body Glow II Set ($118 Value)

A limited edition set pairing two luxurious Body Glow products by Nars.
Body Glow (4 oz) combines the deeply hydrating oil with a drop of vanilla essence and a chocolate shimmer, in a formula that imparts a glistening, golden glow year-round, and intensifies a natural tan as it soothes and moisturizes skin. Monoï Body Glow II (3.9 oz) is a multi-purpose, transparent beauty oil that is ideal for use as a daily moisturizer or massage oil, and absorbs quickly for a radiant glow. This lightweight formula captures Monoï de Tahiti in its natural state, and each bottle contains an authentic Tiare flower as a reminder of its origins.

NARS always has amazing products. This one smells terrific and lasts a long time.  You will feel like you are in the tropics all year round.

You can purchase this combo for $98 dollars or seperately for about $50 each.  Purchase anywhere NARS is available or at Sephora.

Dr. Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood
What it is:
A velvety complexion balm with a feel-good finish.

What it does:
Benefit Dr. Feelgood mattifies the complexion and reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores.

What else you need to know:
With vitamins C and E, consider this your “pretty prescription!”

I used this product when i was told that it really helps cut down oily skin issues.  I was excited, since oily skin is a problem for me.  This product has a hard Vaseline like substance.  I should have known it wouldn’t work for me, when it felt as though i was piling wax on my face.  It made a thick layer and then with makeup on top it seemed to look muddy all the time.

I would not suggest this product.  I feel bad because i do love the Benefits line, but i need to be honest and let you know that i find other primers to be much more useful.

Wow what an awesome product to use in the shower.  Out of all the exfoliant products i have used, this is my favorite.  This product has pharmaceutical grade crystals.  This is good for the skin and doesn’t rough it up and damage it like a lot of less expensive products can do.  It makes your skin feel so silky smooth and and look so wonderful under your makeup.  It is a white pasty substance with a lemony smell.

You will not regret buying this product.  It runs $75 for the face and $45 for the body.  You can purchase at www.sephora.com or www.drbrantskincare.com.

_5313046.jpgThis truly is the very best moisturizer i have ever used.  I use it all the time and when i run out i absolutely hate using anything else.  I can always feel the difference with others.  This lotion does leave a shinny tone and is a little greasy to the touch if you over do it, but i like that about it. I like the look of shiny skin. Especially the legs, they should always look shiny.

The Kiehls line is made with no artificial colors or smells.  They are very earth conscious,  contributing to the environment and helping to restore the ocean.  They use natural ingredients, use recycled products and soy ink.  They are awesome!

This product runs between 40-90 dollars depending on which size bottle you purchase.  I feel this is gold in a bottle and worth the purchase.  You can buy this product at www.Kiehls.com or at Nordstrom and any other store that carries the Kiehl’s line.

Kiehl’s has a lot of products you will be interested in and love, so check them out and let me know what you think.
