Five Favorites: February 2013

Sorry , I know this post is a little late, but to be honest with you this month flew by so quick and I forgot to pick my favorites for the month. I know, I'm horrible lol. Well, better late than never, right? Here are my 5 most used and favorite products from February.

Beauty Blender

I kept hearing so many great things about this product so I first bought a knock off version at CVS a few months ago. I wasn't impressed with it at all so I finally gave in and bought the real thing this month and now I understand what all the hype is about. My foundation is so much easier to apply with this and I can see a big difference in how my foundation looks too. Its really easy to clean and I can't see myself using anything other than the beauty blender to apply my foundation. I purchased the beauty blender set for $35 on Sephora's website. The set comes with the beauty blender sponge and the beauty blender cleaner. It was worth every penny!

Burt's Bees Garden Tomato Toner

I started adding a toner to my skin regimen over the summer and I would try different kinds from drugstores and didn't see much results. So for Christmas my mom surprised me with this product. Mostly every Burt and Bee's product I've tried hasn't disappointed me so I was hoping this would be the same. I've never used any skin products with tomato in it but I guess there really good for your skin. Within a week or two of using this daily I noticed that my skin stopped getting oily towards the end of the day and I also noticed less breakouts. I've read a lot of mixed reviews, some people hate it, some people love it. I guess it depends on your skin type. I have combination skin, more dry than oily and I love it. They sell this at my local Target for around $20.

Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Curling Wand

I've never bought one of those expensive curling wands, for example,the Enzo and after using this curling wand I would never spend that much money on one. This Remington Ceramic Curling Wand gives me really pretty curls that actually last. It comes with a wide variety of temperature settings and one of those heat resistant gloves so you don't burn your fingers. I really like that you can achieve different types of curls; tight ringlets, bouncy curls, beachy waves, etc. If I didn't already know how much I paid for this I would have guessed it cost a lot more than $25! I highly recommend this if your looking for a good curling wand but don't want to spend a lot of money. I got mine at Walgreen's but have also seen it at other drugstores.

Tweezerman Stainless Steel Clippers

My nails tend to grow very quickly so I need to cut them down almost every 3 weeks. I don't like to use a nail file to cut them down because I feel like it weakens them so I use a nail clipper. I've been looking everywhere for a nail clipper that has a flat straight edge instead of the usual slight curve edge. When I use the regular nail clippers it makes it a lot harder to keep the shape of my nails square. So I finally came across a pair by Tweezerman on Amazon for only $5 that have a complete straight edge. These are actually toe nail clippers but I use them on my nails so I get a nice even straight cut and not a curve. It makes it so much easier to shape my nails the way I want them now. If you're looking for a pair like this and haven't found them at a store, go on Amazon.

e.l.f Studio Powder Brush

I bought this brush before I bought the beauty blender, but I wanted to add it to my favorites because it really is a great brush. I've used this brush to apply powder and liquid foundation and it works really well with both. I was surprised at how soft and dense the brush was and that it doesn't shed. I have brushes like this that cost way more that shed everytime I use them. Even more, it always picks up the right amount of foundation and deposits the pigment evenly and flawlessly! For only $3 this brush is definitely worth it!! I found this brush at Target with all the other elf products.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara; Review

I am so picky when it comes to mascara. It seems like I've tried so many but have only been really impressed with a few. So, it's rare when I find a mascara that I feel is worth mentioning. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off is worth a mention in my opinion. I picked this up at CVS about a month ago and have been using it ever since.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara; $6.99 at drugstores

The selling point of this mascara is the unique flat brush with the round bristly ball at the end. According to Rimmel, the flat side of the brush is what gives you the volume and the ball tip is for lifting and defining. I can honestly say that I agree. The round ball at the end is also good for getting those hard to reach lashes in the corner.

One of the reasons I like this mascara is because the application is super easy, no mess, no clumps or anything even after two coats. In the before picture below my lashes are curled with no mascara and the after picture is with two coats. I only have a very light coat on my bottom lashes. (Sorry about the pictures guys, I don't know why the rims of my eyes look so pink and scary).

Overall, I like this mascara, I mean it doesn't look like I have false lashes or anything but it does the job. It gave me length, some volume and the ball tip is excellent at separating my lashes. It stays put and my lashes look exactly the same at the end of the day. Oh, and you have to love the bright purple packaging, at least I do. I feel like Rimmel's products are usually hit or miss so it's nice that this is actually a hit. You can't beat the price either, I got mine at CVS for $6.99.

Have you tried this mascara, if so what do you think?

Five Favorites: January 2013

It's the end of the month (already) so that means time to pick out my 5 most used and favorite products of the month. I always like writing these posts even though it sometimes can be challenging to pick only 5 products. However, if I didn't give myself a limit I would probably end up with too many. Yea, so that's why I always do just 5, if anyone was wondering :)

Wet n Wild Ultimate Brow Kit

This is the only brow kit I will use on my eyebrows. I have medium brown brows, so the middle shade is perfect. The bottom shade is obviously too dark, so sometimes I will use it as an eyeliner. I like the wax because it keeps my brows in place while giving them that neat put together look. This kit comes with a small brush, tweezers and a mirror that slides out. I don't use the brush or tweezers only because I have my own set I really like. With Wet n Wild being amazing as they are, this only costs $3 or $4! I ran out of it about 6 months ago and really thought they stopped making it. Then I saw it in Rite Aid and almost had a heart attack I was so happy. I bought 2 of them!

Too Faced Tinted Beauty Balm

I've only used one other BB cream and that was Garnier's BB cream. I bought that one last year and fell in love with it and have been using it ever since. I recently got to try a sample of the Too Faced BB cream and really liked this one too. I decided to buy it, plus I've almost used up my Garnier tube. It comes in just 4 different shades which might be an issue for some depending on your skin tone. Thankfully Nude Glow was perfect for me. I like this because it gives you some coverage (but it's not too heavy) just like the Garnier one. It really does a great job at evening out my skin and covering any redness. I honestly feel 100% comfortable with just this on my face if I didn't feel like wearing a lot of makeup. Another great point- it doesn't have too many harmful ingredients and has SPF 20. It is a little pricey, $34 at Ulta, but it was a small splurge that was worth it.

Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Glow Pads

I have yet to find a self tanner for my face that is streak free, not orangy or doesn't dry my face out, until now. I've never heard of Dr. Dennis Gross skincare until I saw YouTube guru emilynoel83 mention these. I found them at Sephora and ordered the 20 pack for $32. They also have a 50 pack for $65. These self tanning towelettes are just for your face, but they also make ones for you body. They give you a nice even natural glow. What is even more great is that these towelettes are helping your skin at the same time. They have active Vitamin D and anti aging antioxidants. I use them at night before bed since it takes about 3 hours for the color to develop. My only wish was that the color lasted longer than 3 or 4 days. They are also sold on the Dr. Dennis Gross website.

Rimmel Scandal Eyes SHOW OFF Mascara

I've only tried 5,000 mascaras in my life and liked about 10..(lol- exaggerating but you get the idea). So what's not one more to try out. That's what I was thinking to myself when I randomly picked this up at CVS a few weeks ago. I really think my expectations for mascara are too high and I need to lower them. Anyway this mascara did not disappoint! I was impressed with the volume and length it gave my lashes without clumps or any mess. If you look at the wand (on the left) the flat part of the brush plumps the lashes and the ball at the tip lifts and defines. When applying mascara I rarely apply a second coat just because it always seems to clump up. When I tried a second coat with this mascara I had no clumps! I'm so glad I tried this mascara because it's one of my favorites now. This was around $7 at CVS and I've also seen them at other drugstores.

Britney Spears Fantasy

I've always been a fan of Britney Spears fragrances, I used to own her other fragrance, Curious so when I smelled Fantasy I really liked it. There are so many perfumes out there I like, but these always have an elegant, girly, sweet kind of smell. It's perfect for during the day or at night and you only need 1 or 2 spritz and it really does last a while. It's funny because I've been wearing this all month, so whenever I walk into work they know I'm there without seeing me. This was a Christmas present but I'm almost positive I saw it at TJ Maxx for around $30

Do you use any of these products??

NAIL ROCK NAIL CAVIAR REVIEW

I had to a stop into Walgreens in another area and it wouldn't be me if I didn't check out the beauty aisles (obviously). The first thing I saw was a small display of these Nail Caviar sets. There made by the UK brand Nail Rock that also make the Eye Rock and Lip Rock collection. I hadn't heard anything about these coming to the U.S so this must be a new thing. They had 4 different color sets; a brownish bronze, gold, teal and Pluto Pink the color I chose.

I always feel the need to try every new nail art trend that comes out and $6.99 wasn't a bad price, so I couldn't resist. The kit comes with a bottle of nail polish, a pot of micro beads and instructions.

Here's the micro beads, there mostly pink, with some gold and silver thrown in.

Here is one coat of Pluto Pink before the dipping and clean up, as I'm sure you can tell. It's a pretty color, I was surprised at how good the quality was.

The instructions say to paint your nails with one coat then paint the second coat to one nail and dip into the beads and repeat each nail. Then gently pat the beads on your nail and let dry for 15-20 minutes.

When you take you finger out you have some beads under your nail and around the nail. I used my nails (that weren't done yet) to brush them away. You gently pat down, then pat down harder so the beads stick to the polish. Simple!

The only issue I ran into was the bald spots between the beads and polish. If you look at the picture above you can tell on my middle and ring finger. I probably could have dipped my finger a second time now that I think of it.

So this is what you get, I was surprised at how easy and fast the whole process was.

PROS:

Formula was great on the polish and it dries fast
The colors are very pretty
It's easy to do and only takes a few minutes
Once you have the beads set on the nails you don't have to wait for them to dry.
Affordable, the kits are only $6.99 each.

CONS:

I can only see this being a temporary look (maybe one day) depending on your tolerance.
It's hard to fill in bald spots in certain areas like right above the cuticle.
You have to use either the plastic container that came with the kit or some other tray to avoid making a mess with the beads.
There not easy to remove

Overall, I really like the look, I couldn't stop looking at my nails. I only did one hand a few hours before I went to bed. I figured I would wake up with most the beads gone but they were all there so I had hope. Then once I started doing normal everyday stuff I couldn't wait to take it off! The beads would get caught on certain things. Plus it literally felt like I had super hard rocks stuck to my nails and it wasn't a good feeling. Oh and I had to use the foil method to remove them, there pretty hard to get off.

It's a shame because they do look cool. This mani would probably be best for a special night out but no longer unless you don't mind the gritty feeling.

Have you ever tried a Caviar manicure, if so how do you like them??

Turbo Fire- A Review of my Favorite Workout Program!

Fitness has become a big part of my life since last year, and I've been wanting to share my love for it for a while now. I figured my first fitness post would be about one of my favorite workout programs Turbo Fire! I'm going to tell you about the program, why it's effective, the workouts that are included and why I love it. I purchased this program from Beachbody.com over six months ago.

Beachbody is the company that sells this program along with other popular workout programs such as P90X, Insanity, Brazilian Butt Lift, Turbo Jam ( which is the beginner version of Turbo Fire) and many more. This is what Beachbody has to say about Turbo Fire..

"Turbo Fire is an intense new cardio conditioning workout designed and practiced by the famous fitness trainer Chalene Johnson. Chalene will help shape your body with intense fat-burning exercises that have been proven to be 9x more affective then average cardio workout".

What is Turbo Fire?

Turbo Fire was released in 2010, it's a series of videos that incorporate different activities, a little yoga and stretching, resistance/strength training, ab focused workouts, and of course a lot of cardio in the form of kickboxing and dance.

The basic 90 day program comes with the following twelve videos:

Four Fire videos: Fire 30, Fire 45, Fire 45EZ, Fire 55EZ
Three HIIT videos: HIIT 15, HIIT 20, HIIT 25
Two Strength Training videos: Tone 30, Sculpt 30
Two stretch videos: Stretch 10, Stretch 40
One Abs video: Core 20

You also get a full nutrion guide, the turbo class schedule, guide books to track your progress and a resistance band.

I will go into more detail about what Fire, EZ and HIIT stand for below..

Why it's effictive?

It's all about the HIIT. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is proved to burn up to 9x more fat and calories than traditional cardio. HIIT means working out at your very max in up to 1 minute intervals.

How that works?

When you exercise at your max (1 minute intervals) it improves aerobic and anaerobic energy release and cranks up your bodies metabolism to burn calories faster. This occurs because the intense intervals fatigue your muscle groups. In turn, your body works overtime to replenish the tired muscles with oxygen, creating the "Afterburn Effect" which can last up to 24 hours after you've finished the workout. By combining HIIT, general interval training and the cardio burn of kickboxing, these Turbo Fire videos are a fun, sweaty way to melt off pounds during and after the workout.

The Fire Workouts:
As stated above, Turbo Fire includes 4 fire videos in total: Fire 30, Fire 45, Fire 45EZ and Fire 55EZ. The number stands for how long the workout is (i.g Fire 30 is a 30 min workout, Fire 45 is a 45 min workout and so on). All of those workouts include about 3-4 minutes of a warm up and cool down with different combos of kickboxing routines in the middle. Many of the kickboxing routines incorporate dance movements as well and the choreography is pretty straight forward. Once you do a workout a few times you will have the moves down. Than, you can focus on your form and technique. These fire workouts also include turbo's which are the HIIT (1 minute intervals). You basically do a super fast routine that includes some plyometric moves for 1 minute than you rest (recover) for 1 minute. They really get your heart rate up and you're completely out of breath but you feel so good about yourself.

The videos that have the EZ title are supposed to stand for easy but there not, they just don't include any turbo's. There is also a modifier for people that don't like to jump and would rather have a low impact but high intensity workout.

Here is a preview of one of the Fire videos..

The HIIT Workouts:
There are 3 HIIT workouts, one is 15 minutes, one is 20 minutes and the other one is 25 minutes. These are pretty intense. You do 1 minute drills that are super fast with high impact moves and then you take a break for 1 minute and start over. For example HIIT 15 has 3 different 1 minute drills but you do them for a total of 6 times. I know it seems like a lot but before you know it the 15, 20 or 25 minutes are up and your dripping sweat and tired, but feel good because you just burned so many calories!

Here's another preview of a HIIT workout and Stretch workout:

The Strengh Training Workouts:
Both Sculpt 30 and Tone 30 use resistance bands that target every muscle in your body and are used to strengthen and tone your muscles. I'm not a big fan of using resistance bands, I prefer free weights so I've only tried these workouts a few times. I use other strength training workouts in place of these. If you like resistance bands than you will like these workouts.

The Stretch and Core Workouts:
There are two stretch videos, one is 10 minutes long and the other is 40 minutes long. The stretch 10 are basic stretches that are good to do after any cardio workout. The stretch 40 is part yoga and part deep stretches. The Core 20 video is an intense ab workout, it uses your body and resistance bands to target your abs and includes some standing ab work. When I first tried this video I couldn't finish it because my core and lower back muscles were weak. Each time I did the video I got a little better and can now complete it.

Why I love it?
Well I've always liked cardio kickboxing and have loved dance since I was a little girl. So when you combine the two its my kind of workout. Then there's the music!!! You can tell that they took a lot of time with this. It's a bit of hip hop/dance that motivates you to move! The song selections are great and most of the time the music matches the choreography and corresponds to specific moves. It's a great idea because the songs eventually help condition your brain and body to the moves. I also really like the instructor, Chalene, she is super motivating without being obnoxious or corny.

With all that being said, I hope you guys enjoyed this review. Basically, if you're looking for a cardio challenge that has kickboxing and plyometrics you will probably love Turbo FIre. If you are looking for something that is an intro to kickboxing but still effective I would recommend Turbo Jam (the beginner version of Turbo Fire). I like both, I graduated from Turbo Jam to Turbo Fire and can honestly say I got addicted to both pretty quick.

**I was not paid or asked to do this review, I purchased the program with my own money 2 years ago and have enjoyed it so much that I wanted to share it with all of you!!**

Have you ever tried Turbo Fire?? Or if you have any questions about the program, please ask and I will try to answer as best as I can. This is my first real fitness post and I'm excited to share more!!

e-naturalne French Green Clay

I've been wanting to use a good, natural face mask for a while without all the nasty ingredients that are in the usual masks I use. Than a few weeks ago e-naturalne asked if I would review one of their products and I chose the french green clay. e-naturalne is an online company that sells organic cosmetic products that are made for all different uses. They sell everything from essential oils to face and body scrubs to plant extracts and much more.

To make a basic mask you mix equal parts of the french green clay (it comes in powder form) with equal parts of water.

I mix equal parts of the french green clay with equal parts of water. Then I add a few drops of Aloe Vera gel since my skin is more on the dry side. The clay and water mix easily into a paste. I use my fingers to apply it over my face and neck then leave the mask on for about 10 minutes or until I feel it harden. It does feel a little tight on your skin, but it's a good feeling and then I rinse with water and a washcloth.

It looks messy inside the bowl but when applying it's not, it doesn't drip or stain anything.

The benefits are amazing! I had no idea, the first time I used this I couldn't believe how soft and firm my skin was! After just one use my skin felt tighter, softer and toned. I've used the mask only 3 times and it's helped my skin stay clear and fresh looking. A mask like this should only be used once a week, once every two weeks if your skin is dry.

I highly recommend this product and wish I started using it a lot sooner! You can also add different ingredients to customize a mask for your skin type. Jojoba oil, honey and avocado are just a few items you can add.

Take a look at the e-naturalne site to see the different ways you can use the french green clay and all the benefits you will reap.

Have you ever used a french green clay mask??

Milani One Coat Glitters Purple Gleam

I wanted to show you a really pretty color by Milani called Purple Gleam, it's from there One Coat Glitters line. I have two others from the line and there all amazing. Some of you might have already seen or used this since it came out sometime last year. I was looking through my boxes of nail polishes and saw this and realized I've never used it. I think that's a sign of someone who buys way too many nail polishes lol. Anyway onto the polish!

Purple Gleam is a vibrant true purple glitter. I love the color purple especially when you add some glitter! It's super sparkly, shiny, very eye catching and screams party!

It was hard to capture the true shade of purple with the camera. The pictures are pretty close but the actual color has some tints of fushia.

Color
More of a lighter red toned purple, almost like a dark fushia with dark purple and black micro glitter mixed in to give it depth. The lighter purple tends to pop against the black glitter and that's what makes the sparkles come alive.

Application
You need to really load up on the brush if you don't want to apply more than one coat. I learned that after the first two nails, if you don't get enough polish on the brush its like your just pushing the sparkles around. Besides that it applies very evenly.

Finish and Drying
Just like most glittery polishes this one also dries very fast, I only waited 4 or 5 minutes before applying my top coat. However, it dries gritty and feels like sandpaper and the finish dries matte. Thankfully one good coat of top coat will fix all that and you're left with smooth nails, I think the top coat brings out even more shine in the color.

I'm really enjoying this color a lot, it's definitely not subtle but when you're in the mood for something that stands out and is fun then this color does it.

Have you tried any of Milani's One Coat Glitters?

Five Favorites: September 2012

1. Conair Bun Maker-

I usually like to throw my hair up in a bun, either when I'm working out because that seems to be the only way from my hair flopping all around. I also like the messy bun look and when the bun has volume. Before I bought the Conair Bun Maker I would put my hair up in a ponytail and twist the rest around and use bobby pins to keep it in place but I really couldn't mess around with it, or give it any volume. I always wanted to try one of these bun makers so when I saw it at Walgreen's on sale for $2 I couldn't resist.

The conair bun maker comes with a donut looking loofah, ponytail holder and four pins. Its really simple to use, all you do is put your hair up and then pull it through the hole and wrap it around the donut; then you pin the ends, one end of the pin goes through the donut and the other end goes in your hair at the scalp. Just make sure to spread the hair around enough that the donut isn't showing through. Then use the remaining pins to secure it. I like to tease the ends of my hair after I pull it up so it gives me some extra volume. I'm glad I bought this because I use it whenever I feel like wearing a bun now.

2. Sally Hansen LA CROSS Perfect Arch Brow Set-

I don't like to do my own eyebrows except for plucking a few stray hairs. I always get them done at the salon. Plus I don't enjoy the process and I feel like I might tweeze too much and be left with half an eyebrow. I picked up this kit at Ulta because of the angled scissors that came with it. I heard they make shaping your eyebrows a lot easier.

Besides the angled scissors it comes with a little plastic shaver that's disposable, and a brow brush. This little kit is a lifesaver for me. The angled scissors make it really easy to pluck the hairs that are out of place. I like the razor and comb even though I haven't used the razor too much (still a little nervous) but now that I have this I don't have to go get my eyebrows done as frequently. The kit was $8 at Ulta and I would definitely recommend it.

3. e.l.f. Nourishing Cuticle Pen-

I made a recent trip to Target to see what elf products they had and I bought a few things, but one of my favorites is this cuticle pen. I'm always trying to take care of my nails and cuticles. I usually use creams or oils and have never tried the pens until now. The oil is very soothing and stays on even after washing my hands. It's not greasy at all and the marker makes it very easy to apply. I've been using this pen instead of my usual cuticle cream and my cuticles look just as good. I should have stocked up and bought a bunch of them since there only a $1.

4. Rodan + Fields ANTI-AGE Overnight Restorative Cream-

I did a post a few weeks ago on the Rodan + Fields UNBLEMISH skin care regimen I received. I was sent a 60 day supply to test and review on my blog. Click here to read the post if you want. Along with the four products I got I also received there anti-age overnight cream that can be used with any one of there regimens. I honestly have to say I love all the products and so far my skin looks so much better (but I will be posting an update on that soon).

For the last 6 months I've been waking up with oily skin which is weird bc I've never had oily skin before. I've always had normal to dry skin even in the morning. Well, after using this overnight cream for about a week or so I noticed my skin wasn't as oily in the morning. Besides that, my skin feels smooth and looks alive again. Check out my post to see the rest of Rodan + Fields products, they really do work.

5. e.l.f Studio High Definition Powder-

This was another fav from my trip to Target. For $6 this powder is great! I use it after foundation, blush and bronzer and it pulls everything together and makes my skin look matte and in an airbrushed way. It's a translucent powder that's really fine and goes on super smooth and evenly. It comes with a small makeup puff that I use to apply it then blend it out with a fluffy powder brush. Another great product, gotta love E.L.F!

Those have been my 5 most used and favorite products this month. Have you tried any of these?

My TOP 5 Make-Up Musts..FOR ON THE GO

I thought I would do a quick post sharing the 5 go to makeup products I use when I'm in a hurry or just don't feel like putting on a lot of makeup, especially over the summer when it's too hot to get all glammed up.

Now that the days are getting cooler I will start adding more makeup to my routine. Do you guys wear less makeup in the summer or is it just me?

-GARNIER BB SKIN RENEW CREAM IN MEDIUM/DARK
If you've been reading my blog for the past 4 months you're probably sick of hearing about this product. I can't help it though, it's become one of my holy grail products. I cant imagine not having this everyday. I've noticed that these are one of those products where you either love it or hate it. I think it has to do with your skin type.
.

-BARE MINERALS FOUNDATION IN MEDIUM/TAN
I got this for Christmas and have been in love with it ever since, I use it whether I wear foundation or not.

-MILANI MINERAL BLUSH IN SUNSET BEACH
I love milan's mineral blush, its been my fav along with MAC'S blush. Sunset beach is a medium pinkish peach color that goes along great with a tan. It's subtle but brightens your cheeks at the same time.

-MAYBELLINE UNSTOPPABLE EYELINER IN ONYX
This is a great liner for quick lining. It's waterproof and stays put until you decide to take it off. The color onyx is dark black. In a hurry I will line the upper and lower rims of my eyes. If I have more time I use their liquid eyeliner.

-MAYBELLINE GREAT LASH MASCARA IN BLACK
I've been through so many different types and brands of mascara, I would say that I disliked more than half. I'm either really picky when it comes to mascara or my expectations are too high. I always have a tube of this mascara around. I love the wand, its so easy to apply.

Now that summer is over I start to use more makeup and different products. I always tend to wear less makeup in the summer, how about you guys?

Rodan + Fields UNBLEMISH Review

I have something really exciting to share with you!! I know you all remember ProActive, America's #1 selling acne treatment. You know, the commercials with Justin Beiber, Katy Perry and all the other millions of teenagers that benefited from it. Well the same doctors that created ProActive have a new company called Rodan + Fields, the latest in skin care technology and ingredients to give you the best skin of your life.

They have developed four different Multi-Media Therapy Skin Care Regimens:

UNBLEMISH for acne prone skin, REVERSE for sun damaged skin, ANTI-AGE, for lines, wrinkles and large pores and SOOTHE for sensitive skin. These four treatments can also be customized for someone who has a combination of these skin issues.

I was very lucky to be asked to test and review one of their famous skin care regimens. That's where UNBLEMISH comes in. If you're not sure which regimen is right for you then go to there website and use their solution tool. The doctors will recommend a treatment for you based on a few questions about your skin issues.

Impressive, right? That's what I thought, so bring it on UNBLEMISH!!:)

So here's the deal, I'm going to post a "before" picture today and then in 60 days I will post an "after picture. I will also do a few update posts every few weeks to let you know how it's working.

Here is my before picture:

(I know the picture doesn't really show too much since I usually get smaller pimples. However I do have blackheads, sun damage, post acne marks, bumpy skin, etc!!)

If you have skin issues you want to address, you should really give one of these systems a try. It can boost your confidence,self esteem and give you the skin you deserve! I am definitely looking forward to starting this program.

Rodan + Fields has a full 60 day money back guarantee. In other words, you can try it for the full 2 months and if you're not happy for any reason, you can return the empty bottles and get your refund. You really don't have a lot to loose. As a preferred customer the cost is $144 for each 60 day supply, which also includes special perks!
