Winter Skincare - Relastin Ultra Emollient

I recently had the opportunity to try Relastin Ultra Emollient moisturizer. Winter is harsh on your skin. Cold weather and low humidity inevitably lead to dry flaky skin and finding the right moisturizer for winter can be tough. Relastin Ultra Emollient face cream is ultra hydrating and has antioxidants to protect against the environment. Vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A, Vitamin C and peptides, as well as Relastin's Zinc Firming Complex, help to hydrate skin and improve your skins elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines. I found this cream to be perfect for my dry skin. It doesn't leave any greasy residue and my face feels moisturized all day long. I put it to the true test on my recent trip to the slopes in Beaver Creek, Colorado and my skin still felt great after a day of snowboarding. Visit Relastin for more information.

Product Review: Bloom Lipgloss

I recently had the chance to try this amazing lip gloss by Bloom. It comes in array of yummy flavors and colors. It is the perfect texture. Not too sticky and not too high gloss. It adds wonderful color to my lips and doesn't chap them at all. I can't get enough! Highly recommended.

Product Review: L'Occitane Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid

Every article about skincare stresses how important it is to use a moisturizer with sunscreen. And up until this point, I had not been able to find a moisturizer with SFP that I have liked. Most moisturizers with sunscreen that I had tried previously felt greasy and often irritated my eyes. L'Occitanes Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid with SPF 40 is my new go to moisturizers. The Almond Apple Velvet Face Fluid is part of L'Occitanes line of natural beauty products. It really contains all of the things I need in a moisturizer; protection, moisturization, and toning action. The product goes on smoothly and doesn't feel greasy at all. The light fresh formula contains essential oils and almond proteins to help improve the skins elasticity as well as almond milk to soften. While the organic apple vinegar helps to tighten pores and the organic apple extract refines the skins texture. The light apple almond scent is really refreshing and revitalizing. And if you love the scent as much as I do it also comes in a shower gel. Available at L'Occitane $39.

Product Review: Aveeno Positively Nourishing

I have recently had the opportunity to try the Positively Nourishing Hydrating body wash and Whipped Souffle by Aveeno. The products are infused with shea butter so that they are ultra nourishing and leave your skin soft and refreshed. I barely needed to use lotion after using the shower gel, unlike harsh soaps which can strip my skin of moisture. And after spending all week on my beach vacation to Cape Cod last week, these products were the perfect trick for restoring my skin.

Alice + Olivia for MAC Cosmetics

MAC Cosmetics has recently released it's latest designer collaboration with this new line by Alice + Olivia. I love all of the funky colors and the retro (80's) glam packaging. These pops of color will be really great for fall and can be used in a small dose during the day or in a heavier application for a more bold look during the evening.
