Artic Aqua 2 in1 Skin-Perfecting Moisture-Booster.

Artic Aqua 2 in 1 Skin-Perfecting Moisture-Booster  $14.99 (photo courtesy of Musings of a Muse)
Luminous Lumene.  I have sampled many of the offerings from this Finnish skincare company, whose natural products get their zhush from summer harvested plants and berries.  I have yet to be disappointed by any of their excellent, affordable items, from eye makeup removers, to toners, serums and moisturizers.

Lumene divides its skincare essentials amongst 5 different lines, each devoted to a different need or time in a woman's skin as she ages.  I was asked to sample Artic Aqua 2 in 1 Skin-Perfecting Moisture-Booster from their Sensitive Touch line.

It is suggesting that the additional surge of moisture and hyaluronic acid act also acts a primer of sorts under makeup.

Emma, Dinner with friends

Emma, dinner with friends


Peplum skirt

Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps

Dolce Gabbana python handbag
€1.190 - veryeickhoff.com

I'm working my way up to incorporating more images to my pretend closet picks.  When I saw this gorgeous shot of Emma Stone, a Red Carpet fave of mine, I couldn't help but imagining what I would like to see paired with that glorious turquoise lace top.

I waivered about choosing this fab Dolce and Gabbana woven top handle bag over a clutch, my more likely choice, but the texture won me over. 

Hope you don't mind playing in my playground with me...Sooner or later I may develop another obsession, but I wouldn't count on it :).

Garnier Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector: Do you need this?


Garnier Sleek & Shine Flat Iron Perfector  $4.99
 DoI???  Much to my own dismay, I could not resist picking this up while on a CVS run. How could I possibly need to add another styling product to the army under my bathroom sink?

I had just had my hair freshly colored by the magnificent Christopher at Warren Tricomi, Greenwich.  Nicely, WT is fine, with those of us who like to blow dry our own hair after color services. 

It's not that I'm cheap, but it's rare that I really love the way anyone blows out my hair...What really is the point of paying to have it dried, only to come home and tweak it for twenty minutes?

They have a perfect set-up,that includes a top notch dryer, a dozen immaculate brushes in all shapes and sizes and product for any conceivable style...everything except a flat iron. 

Is that too much to ask??? Ya. I think it probably is.  So essentially, I do a serviceable job, but come home and tweak for twenty minutes anyway---see what I mean?

Scarred For Life? DNA Scar Therapy Can Help

DNA Scar Therapy 1.7 oz. $45
There are two kinds of scars:  The ones on our hearts, that we feel when are kids are hurting, by an old flames who left us crushed , or physical scars from accidents or surgery.

Both leave painful reminders that are best faded with time.  Having had several surgeries,  I have tried everything available on the market to fade them; creams, silicone sheets and even lasers.  The results are not stellar.

The best time to treat scars is when they are closed but fresh.  When I had an opportunity to sample DNA EGF Renewal's DNA Scar TherapyI figured I had nothing to lose, even though my surgical scars are years old.

Lighten Up! Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Corrector to the Rescue

1.7 fl oz. average price $16
I love when my friends can't wait to tell me about a beauty or skin product they adore and rush up excitedly to share it with me.  My co-worker Ginger is tickled with the amount of spot reduction she is already seeing, after just two weeks of using Garnier's Skin Renew Dark Spot Corrector.  She saw significant lightening and "breaking up" of the pigment on a particularly dark spot on her hand and literally can't wait to check out her progress each morning.

I was surprised to hear she was seeing results after just two weeks, since even prescriptions for hydroquinone don't promise results till about the one month mark.  I asked her if I could take a photo of the tops of her hands so I could update you every two weeks with her results. Happily, she agreed!

Lash Blast Fusion: The cheap and cheerful mascara of my dreams???

CoverGirl's Lash Blast Fusion ($11)
Sadly, not

As I am now scraping the barrel of yet another tube of Benefit's They're Real Mascara, I find myself on my third attempt at a cheap & cheerful mascara that will give me enough volume and fullness to save myself $24.00.  They're Real is a a great mascara but it's also a real pain to remove.

A few years back, I had a love affair with CoverGirl's Lash Exact. Also housed in a purple tube, it provided full, clean looking lashes for day.  So what if I ran out of it in less than a month?  It was certainly affordable enough to replace as needed.
