March Products of the Month

Ladies
WHAT?
Smashbox Emulsion Lip Exfoliant
FOR WHO?
Sufferers of dry, cracked, flakey, post winter lips and anyone who wants to prevent such a catastrophe.
This is an age preventative and can help you avoid those tiny, fine lines that can cause color to run away from your lips.
HOW/WHEN TO USE?
How often will depend on your level of sensitivity and amount of concern. You should exfoliate as often as possible but let your skin sensitivity guide you (don't aggravate your lips). If you suffer from extreme dry, flakey, cracked lips you may need to use it once per day for the first week. If you're not as dry then just every other day the first week. If you're tolerable for using it every other day after that go for it. If not just as often as you can.
The drier the application the better but you may feel it a little more - take a pea sized drop and rub in tiny circles across the surface of your lip. As you rub it will become rougher and drier. If it feels too rough you can splash a little water on. Convenient to keep in shower and use.
BENEFITS/WHY?
This is a preventative as well as a treatment and will help you have plumper, more moist lips.
WHERE?
You know I always tell you to hit up Nordstrom at Barton Creek and see my girl Felicia. You can also find it at most other department stores or places like Sephora.
HOW MUCH?
This is a cheap one - $18 for .75 .oz
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
4-6 months if used properly maybe a little more at the beginning but less for maintenance
____________________________________________________
Men
WHAT?
Nivea Eye Cream for Men
FOR WHO?
All skin types (ages 24-80) and especially those with a lot of sun exposure or visible signs of tiredness/aging.
BENEFITS/WHY?
Helps reverse signs of aging and tiredness like puffy eyes, dark circles, and crow’s feet. Like most of my picks this too is a preventative.
HOW/WHEN TO APPLY?
Recommended morning and night applications but once a day is better than none.
Take a pea size drop between your 2 ring fingers and pat lightly in a circle around the circumference of the eye.
WHERE?
Wamart, CVS, Walgreen’s or any local drug store.
HOW MUCH?
.5 oz $8.99 - $10.99
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?
This should last 4-6 months so less than $.10 per day - well worth it!

  1. sensitive skin should be consulted first before applying whatever eye cream or anti wrinkle cream. Since it might irritate the skin and can cause allergies.
