Beauty Review: Prescriptives “Good in Bed”

Interested in a “quickie” to fix your tired, dry or blotchy skin? Try Prescriptives Good in Bed Skin Restoring Night Moisturizer. I am pretty shocked and amazed with the results of using this night cream after only one night of testing. I noticed the next morning that my skin looked radiant and glowing and my skin tone looked even. It really did give me the “morning after” glow that it claimed it would do. This cream is very rich in texture and deeply hydrates and moisturizes your skin. This is especially great for dry skin. I also like that it is non acnegenic because my skin is prone to breakouts every now and then. I’ve been using this product already for a whole week and am very satisfied with what I see.

Although my skin is a huge fan of this product, my nose is not. There are subtle self tanners in it and you’ll notice that in the smell. I wish the scent of the DHA (found in self tanners) was masked a little better so that every time I put it on I wouldn’t have to hold my breath. I guess that would be my only complaint. Other than that, I am completely satisfied with the results. A night cream worth investing in!

Prescriptives Good in Bed retails for $65 USD/$90 CD

Makeup Junkies – Take Care Of Your Skin With DDF!

The first rule in cosmetics, as a true Makeup Junkie, is having a fabulous moisturizer. There is no sense in buying good quality make-up, if the creams and lotions you apply to your skin day and night aren’t working for you.

I was fortunate enough to get into my hands DDF Protect and Correct UV Moisturizer! This beautiful little pump bottle is a fantastic cream. DDF stands for “Doctor’s Dermatologic Formula” and smoothing this rich cream on, I knew that it was protecting my skin from the every day harmful rays of not only the sun shining down on my face, but damage I had done before. This bottle promises to help you save your skin from future discolourations that many women and men face in their older age that may lead to skin cancer and sever skin discrepancies – Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation!

So, ladies, do yourselves a favour - Save your skin before it’s too late. And don’t think that in the winter time you’re free from wearing UVA and UVB screens! Year round, if your face is outside, you should be wearing protection. End of story.

This is a daytime moisturizer, so don’t waste it by using Protect and Correct before bedtime. Apply in the morning, under your make-up.

This bottle retails at $58 (USA) at your local Sephora.

Beauty Review: Makeup Junkie Loves Bio-Oil!

I am a realist. I have worked in cosmetics and seen products come and go. Some work, most....Don't.

I have seen advertisements go up, and money be spent on displays and booklets and commericals go on and on about the "New and Improved" this and that.

But then....There was Bio-oil. I bought it in line at Wal-Mart for 11 dollars a month ago, and it's been sitting on my make-up counter for weeks, untouched.

'What am I going to do with a tub of oil?' I would think to myself, as I felt guilty about purchasing it in the first place. And then my moisturizer ran out last week. I was sad. My old moisturizer was expensive, but it was good. Nothing special, but good.

The next morning, I was dehydrated after my shower. My skin was thirsty. I was stuck. And then...I decided to give my little bottle a chance. I used Bio-oil as my moisturizer. I am in love.

My old pimple scars have faded. I had a pimple I attempted to pop (and failed) and I had cut myself. I don't even see a scar today. It has healed. It is gone. My eyes are light and fresh, I don't even wear concealer anymore and I wear make-up on my eyes every day.

And it's an oil!

As I touch my baby-butt smooth skin, I am not oily. I am supple. And at this rate, I'll look like this forever - wrinkle and aged free. Hopefully!?

Here is an active ingredient list:

Vitamin A: Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate on the label) helps improve the skin’s elasticity, texture and tone.

Vitamin E: The most widely used antioxidant in skincare products today, Vitamin E increases the moisture content of the epidermis, making the skin softer, smoother and more supple. Vitamin E also assists in the proliferation and maintenance of healthy skin.

Calendula oil: Calendula Officinalis, more commonly referred to as marigold, has been used for centuries as a natural antioxidant and has the ability to clarify and condition the skin, while providing soothing and calming benefits for sensitive skin types.

Lavender oil: Lavender oil is well known for its skin conditioning properties, and is also effective in calming and soothing the skin.

Rosemary oil: Rosemary oil helps to invigorate and condition the skin, and has calming and soothing properties.

Chamomile oil: Chamomile has a calming and soothing effect and is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin. It also helps to condition and clarify the skin, assisting to maintain its natural health.

PurCellin Oil™: PurCellin Oil™ acts as a delivery system for Bio-Oil’s other ingredients, dramatically improving its application and spreadability, and allowing for targeted absorption into the skin.

To apply:

Bio-Oil should be applied twice daily to the affected area. If used as part of a daily skincare regime, Bio-Oil should be applied before regular moisturizer as moisturizers can leave residues which block Bio-Oil’s absorption. However, Bio-Oil has sufficient moisturizing properties so as to render an additional moisturizer unnecessary. Bio-Oil does not contain sunscreen factor, so sunscreen should be applied once Bio-Oil has been fully absorbed.

Purchase Bio-Oil at your local Wal-Mart today for $11.97 (CAD)!
