Burt's Bees Intense Hydration


My latest buzz kit was Burt's Bees Intense Hydration products. I received 3 full size products; Cream Cleanser, Treatment Mask, and Night Cream with Clary Sage, a remarkable botanical that thrives in its harsh environment because of its ability to retain moisture.

With the colder months approaching, it's important for your skin to stay hydrated so I was excited to try these products.



The Cream Cleanser ($10) is amazing ! After using a wash cloth to massage is in, I was surprised to see how it literally melted off my makeup! I decided to do a little experiment... The next time I washed my face I used my regular gel cleanser , I always thought it was doing a good enough job of getting my makeup off. Then I used the Burt's Bees cream cleanser after my gel cleanser and once again, a wash cloth full of makeup - gross! I couldn't believe it, not only was my other cleanser not removing my makeup, but it was stripping my skin of the natural oils it needs to stay lubricated.




The Treatment Mask ($18) was next. I applied a thick layer and relaxed for 10 minutes while it worked it's magic. I removed it with a tissue, then massaged the remaining product into my skin like the package instructed. To be honest, there was a lot of residue left over, so maybe removing with a wash cloth would be better.






I finished off with the Night Cream ($18) by smoothing it all over my face and neck. I can't even explain how great my skin feels. It's so soft, I can't stop touching it!



I would definitely recommend these products to my friends and clients as proof that you don't need to spend a bundle to make your skin feel like a million bucks.

The long awaited post about THE MAKEUP SHOW !

I know, I know,..... it's been forever since my last post, and I could make excuses and say " a cross country move, a breakup, another move, (not necessarily in that order)...sometimes life gets in the way"..... but truth be told, I got sooooo much loot at the makeup show that I wanted to be able to actually use it, and not just on myself, but on my clients, so that when I spoke to you about it, I'd actually have something to say. So without further adieu, I give you ..... The Makeup Show LA Bloggger Bag There was so much in this "goodie bag" that I almost don't know where to start.  I have a few favorites that I could go on and on about so I'll leave those for last. I will say this, there are some things that I selfishly will keep in my own makeup bag that my pro-kit will never know about!!! ***to purchase all these products, just click on the underlined links below*** First up Model in a Bottle, @ModelinaBottle One of my friend Step...

The Real (bend and) Scoop on Sticky Bras

When I mention the term "Strapless Sticky Bra", what visual comes to mind? Is it two beige yarmulkes stuck to your boobs? Or for those of you above a B cup is it sad Mickey Mouse ears, or a subsequent collapse of support?  When I bought the Yale Stuart Strapless sticky bra to review, I already had a preconceived notion in my head that it wouldn’t work. I have natural 34C boobs. I emphasize "natural" because I don’t have a gravity defying boob job, like most of the models advertising this type of product. My boobs are still perky for someone my age, one of the advantages of not having a child and breast-feeding, but regardless I’m not brave enough to go "commando" in a strappy sundress. So when I tell you I put this baby to the test, believe me! I wore this under my spaghetti strap dress and went out dancing in the Florida heat and humidity. Surprisingly, it passed the boogie down test with minimal jiggle and no slippage. After about three hours of shaki...

This is how I bring a little bit of Brooklyn to Austin

This is how I bring a little bit of my hometown, Brooklyn, to my new home in Austin. I've partnered with PHOTOWALL and picked out a beautiful 40x60 Canvas Print of the Brooklyn Bridge. I picked out my design and 3 days later my print arrived! The box contained everything I needed to assemble the canvas print: canvas cloth, frame sections, corner plates with screws and instructions. After I laid the images face down on the floor, all I needed to do was press the pre-taped wooden frame sections onto the  sides of the canvas. Once the frame sections are in place, you have to fold the wooden pieces in towards one another, place the metal corner plates in corners and inster all the screws and tighten them. The whole process took about an hour and a half from start to finish. and this is the finished product What do you think?  Photowall's website is amazing! Seriously, the longest part of this was making my decision of which print to get because I  wanted it all! They have ev...
