Burt's Bees Herbal Blemish Stick

Hey all! I'm SO sorry it's taken me so long to post lately. I moved towns, started a new job and just had a lot of adjusting/getting settled to accomplish. I definitely missed blogging so I'm ready to get back to it!

This is one of my most coveted, new products in my regime.......thanks to my good friend Lindsay! She told me about this a few months ago and it took me a bit to run out and try it but I am so thankful I did. This is an all natural blemish stick that mainly consists of natural oils to help get rid of pesky acne. It contains 10 herbal ingredients and definitely has the herbal scent to it. If you do not like any type of herbal scent, this may not be the blemish treatment for you. I happen to love those earthy scents so I love using this.

What I find pretty amazing is that I can have a blemish coming on and I'll apply this at night and the next morning, it's gone. Like magic! With all my other "zit creams", it seemed to take a day or two, if not longer, for the blemishes to disappear. This is a great economical purchase! You can find this for around $10.00 at any local drugstore or on Amazon

CeraVe Eye Repair Cream

At last, a wonderful drug-store brand eye cream has arrived! CeraVe has added an eye cream to their line and it's fabulous. This eye cream is supposed to help with dark circles, puffiness and help repair the skin barrier around the eyes. It is fragrance-free and contains many skin repairing ingredients. It has a thick lotion consistency but absorbs well into the eye area. I use this during the day and don't have any issues with it being too greasy. I also love the packaging. It comes in a tube so that light and air cannot get to the sensitive ingredients. The only thing lacking, in my opinion, is it does not contain SPF. This is not an issue for me as I always apply SPF all over my face after I moisturize but I can see how some people would not like that. All in all, this is a great little eye cream. It's priced extremely reasonable and the company does not test on animals. You can find this for $12.99 at your local drugstore.

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm

Orange is the new hot color of spring and is popping up everywhere! And I just happened to come across this gorgeous balm at a bargain price. This is Revlon's Colorburst Velvet Matte Balm in Mischievous. I have found that it gives just the right amount of color to your lips. It's not too overpowering (unless you swipe it on a lot) but still gives a nice color. It is pretty moisturizing for being a matte balm, however, I have found that it can settle in your lip lines if your lips are dry that day. An easy fix is to swipe on some clear lip balm before applying the matte balm. Oh and don't be scared of the bright orange color......it's very subtle, I promise! It almost comes off as a peach color. Perfect for Spring and Summer.

You can find this for around $9.00 at your local drugstore or on Amazon New Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm - 235 Mischievous

Pixi Correction Concentrate - Brightening Peach

I don't know too much about concealers as I haven't really used one, until now. I'm lucky that I don't have dark circles under my eyes but I do have some blue/green-ish veins that are apparent. And so, I thought I would try a concealer to see if it would improve my overall look by camouflaging those. I did tons of research and came across this little pot of brightening concealer. It only comes in one color and supposedly works on every single skin tone.......amazing! I had to get my hand on this. I've been using it for a week now and I do really love it. It's light and doesn't get cakey and covers my little veins very well. If you are looking for a heavy concealer, this may not be right for you. But, for $12 bucks, you can hardly beat it! You can find this at Target: Pixi Correction Concentrate - Brightening Peach

Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover For Lids, Lashes & Lips

I know I already posted about my favorite eye makeup remover, but, Erin (a friend from my hometown) suggested that I give this a whirl to remove the Benefit They're Real Mascara. And, I must say, it removed every inch of that pesky, hard to remove mascara! So now I can enjoy the awesomeness of the Benefit mascara and not spend 20 minutes at night trying to remove it. This makeup remover is extremely gentle and won't irritate or sting your eyes. I'm thinking that I can have a bottle of this to use solely for any type of waterproof makeup and stick with my Neutrogena makeup remover for every day use. You can find this for $18.00 at your local department store or on Sephora.

L'Oreal Infallible Lacquer Liner

I don't wear a lot of eye makeup on a daily basis but when I do wear eyeliner, this is my go-to product. I discovered this last summer and it quickly became my favorite eyeliner. It has this gel consistency that I love. Basically, it stays on forever and doesn't smudge everywhere like pencil liners do. It also comes with a cute little brush for you to apply it with. I purchased the Bronze color and I really like it with my eye color and skin tone. I was hoping for more of a sheen than it actually has but I still love the product enough to not care all that much. You can find this at your local drugstore for around $10 dollars or for a few dollars cheaper on Amazon: L'Oreal Paris Infallible Lacquer Eyeliner 24H, Bronze, 0.09 Ounces
