TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer looks like a great toss it in your bag and look great in no time flat kind of product. The sheer powder is a golden ivory – great for highlighting, and it is the perfect color as a daytime shadow. If you are looking for makeup that can perk up your skin on the go, or a product that is easy to put on post-workout, you can’t go wrong here. It’s also Paraben and Talc free.
Find it at Sephora.com.
So I thought I had thought of every use for Liptini Mixer Pencils (I can do a quick whole makeup job using just Pink Whip), but as I flipped through this month’s SELF magazine, I found another great use: use the Ice Water (clear) Mixer Pencil around your cuticles when you are applying polish to keep the color off of them. And since it contains a ton of Shea Butter, your cuticles look great in no time if you keep it in your purse for cuticle moisturization on the go!
Wow, I have to go back to my Liptini box and start playing with everything in case I missed any more uses. 🙂
Find the Ice Water Mixer Pencil at Liptini.com.
Just noticed the Emjoi AP-66T Clear Skin
I haven’t tried it, but seems like a good deal for a no-frills phototherapy device for acne.
Forget your sunscreen? Instead of your standard cleanser, brew up some green or white tea, dip a washcloth in it and gently pat your face (seriously, no scrubbing this is not the time to exfoliate). It will take down the inflammation and redness down, and soothes your skin quick. Simple and inexpensive, as well as effective.
Just started reading about Atralin, a tretinoin (like Retin-A) that contains moisturizers to lower the chance of irritation. I’ll have to ask my derm about it next time I’m in – this looks promising.
