Great New Things

Okay so I thought I'd come back and share some great new things with you to finish up the month of June.  I've been on a makeup kick for about a month now so I've been trying new things I have seen on a blog that has rapidly become a favorite of mine.  The blog is called Maskcara and Cara is a makeup artist and really cool chica in my opinion.  Check her out sometime.  So on to my new favorite things.

#1.  Since turning 40, I've been more focused on my skin and keeping it in great shape.  I found a new lotion that is wonderful and inexpensive.  And pretty much available anywhere. 

Yep, good ole St. Ives.  I've read so many reviews on this stuff and decided to try it.  And I haven't been disappointed.  First of all it's cheap at $5.49 for this huge container.  I'll be using this for a long while.  Second, I've noticed that my face is smoother and more moisturized. 

#2.  Since losing weight my face has become "hollow", meaning that I can actually see my cheek bones.  Along with that, I've noticed some darkening under my eyes which no amount of sleep or water can seem to correct, so I had been using "normal" toned concealer until I read about this stuff....

 

And yes, since you asked it is lavender in color.  The lavender changes the tones under my eyes and helps brighten them when I put my foundation over it.  Perfection!  And at about $5.00 at Ulta you can't go wrong. 

So there you go, two great "new" things to try.  I've bought some other things lately but I'm holding judgment on those so I'll have to get back with you.

 

Great New Things &  Blessings,
