Skincare Review- MOISTURE THERAPY Intensive Hand Cream

Skincare Review- Moisture Therapy Intensive Hand Cream.

I dont know what if it is the changing seasons, or the fact that I have recently began using my hands alot more around the house cleaning, but lately tha condition of my poor hands have taken a turn for the worst. They have become dry and itchy at the knuckles, and my nailbeds have been cracking and peeling. Enter, Moisture Theapy’s Intensive hand cream.

As soon as I soon as I rubbed the cream onto my hands, they are instantly hyrdated and feel wonderful (without feeling greasy). Another plus is that insted of having heavy scents (which can actually dry out skin), its smells clean and light. This leaft me completely satisfied and headache free.

This product is by far the best hand cream I have tried to date, it keeps my hands smooth and hydrated, even through spring cleaning. Click to view product and purchase.

Makeup Review – Amazing Cosmetics Concealers

Makeup Review – Amazing Cosmetics Concealers

I simply love Amazing Cosmetics Concealers.  I have the little concealer kit and it’s great.

I have the worst under eye circles on the planet, and this is the only concealer I’ve found that truly works.  I did try the Laura Mercier concealers, as well as MAC Cosmetics, Bobbi Brown, and a few others, no, not one of those worked as I thought they should for the money, and Mercier’s were like chalk and looked um.. bad even when I emailed them for advice and followed the tips. (they never did answer my email) the result was poor, and the colors were wrong for what I needed and I wear a beige in almost any makeup brand.

I am in the processing of trying some of the mineral makeup cream concealers and will let you all know what I think in my makeup review of concealers later :)

Chances are you’ll like the Amazing Cosmetics concealers, it’s just too bad they are not found in local department stores in our area.  Sampling is much better then paying full price for makeup that just gets tossed.

Seriously Ladies

I know that many brands claim to be ‘so pure you can sleep in it’, but the bottom line is, no matter what type of makeup you use, please don’t go to sleep without washing your face, especially when using any brand of mineral makeup. Between two and four in the morning, your skin absorbs anything left on it and prepares and restores itself for the next day, so anything left on your skin is taken into the pores and stored, this is why it’s good to sleep with products made to be left on.

But under no circumstances is it okay to make a habit out of sleep with makeup on. This will only lead to clogged pores and aged skin. When mineral makeup, though normally healthier for the skin because it’s natural, is added to the formula, the results can be disastrous. You wouldn’t sleep with dirt rubbed on your face, why sleep with mineral makeup?

I know with all the misleading adds you can gain a false sense of security when it comes to sleeping with makeup on, but come on ladies, we have been taught from our mothers from the time we started wearing makeup that it has to be washed off.

Bottom line- DO’NT sleep on it.
