Get ready for something special from Ciate for Summer 2016! Ciate has introduced three different nine shade eyeshadow palettes each with a different theme of colors.
These are a lot like the palettes that released with the Olivia Palermo x Ciate Eye Palettes that launched over the Holidays! Those were excellent so I don’t doubt these new palettes will be pretty awesome too!
Take a look!
I feel like it has been way too long since I expressed my love for Korres. I remember a time when Korres was on everyone’s lips! Already popular in Europe at the time it was very quick to rise in the US back in 2009 with offerings in both the skincare and makeup world.
Lots has changed since 2009 though and Korres’ makeup collection has dwindled off. I used to love their eyeshadows and their lipgloss!
Anyway, Korres focuses a lot more on skincare nowadays!
Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir Serum is one of their newest and most expensive offerings I’ve had the pleasure of seeing. This $98 serum is infused with Greek saffron which corrects visible signs of aging. Apparently saffron is an excellent antioxidant. The serum also includes a mix of peptides, amino acids, and beta-glucas which act to strength and firm the skin’s surface. There’s also a hyaluronic acid here to add moisture to help to retain that moisture. So, skin is brighter, firm. and plumper.
Korres hasn’t failed me yet so count me curious about trying this.
Korres Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir Serum is available now at Sephora.com.
As a fan of Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil Mascara is an extension to Physicians Formula bestselling Argan Wear Collection that launched for Spring 2016 which includes a long list of products including blush, lip oils, and more.
Can I just get it out of the way and say that the smell of the Physicians Formula Argan Wear is gorgeous and I really think they need to launch it in a body spray sometime soon? And yes, the mascara has the same fragrance although this might prove irritating for some users. I have admit I thought it was a rather pleasant surprise although I’m not sure how everyone will feel about it. Thankfully I didn’t experience any problems with the fragrance but it did deserve a mention for sensitive eyes.
I was just mentioning in my prior review how over exfoliating can do more harm than good but with Farmacy New Day Gentle Exfoliating Grains ($30) it’s easy enough to get in daily exfoliation without stripping or drying your skin out.
I became a fan of Farmacy when I tried out their Clear Bloom Makeup Glideaway Cleansing Oil in the Fall. It is and remains one of my favorite cleansing oils at the moment as it leaves my dry skin very, very well hydrated after use!
Considering my success with it I made it my business to try more of Farmacy’s offerings and many have become great favs like their New Day Gentle Exfoliating Grains!
I picked up Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Facial Wash & Scrub ($9.99) earlier last month in the hopes this would be a moisturizing way to exfoliate my dry face. Everyone tells you how important exfoliating your face is but what they don’t tell you is that it happens to be a chore for those of us with drier skin.
I’d say exfoliating once every two weeks is plenty enough for dry skin. Why? Because over exfoliating actually causes your skin to become drier. So, you might be busy sloughing away dead skin with your favorite exfoliating treatment but that formula might be stripping your skin of much needed oil therefore resulting in further dryness.
It’s always a challenge finding an exfoliating facial scrub that’s creamy, hydrating, and grainy enough to actually buff away drier skin. I knew that going into my purchase of Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Facial Wash & Scrub it was likely going to give me two out of the three of those benefits and I was right assuming that.
