My Philosophy



I wanted to love this stuff.
I reeeeeeeeeeally did.

My first week I was so happy! I told everyone about it, I gushed so much my friends asked if I got a kickback, I wish.
After a month of using this product, once a week. I saw a better complexion burst forth from my drab visage.

Then one day, about three weeks later, I noticed a tingling sensation on my face while I was at work. I was outside at the lake shooting another drought story.
I kept asking my reporter, "Does my face have flames leaping from it?" She thought I was on something I'm sure...
I had used sunscreen as usual so I was surprised. I stopped using my regular regimen of cleansers, toners, and moisturizers.
I was fine. Then I used the peel again...
I takes 3 days, but it kicks in and not subtly. Since I have dark skin, I'm sure there is a redness that I can't see, but sure can feel!
I was left with dark splotches on my skin, mostly around my mouth and on my neck and chin.

Now that I stopped using the peel, I'm fine. I tried it again last month to make sure, yep, no questions.

I had to buy La Mer moisturizer to get my face to go a little bit back to the right tone and texture. miracle in a bottle
What an expensive experiment that was!


The score went from Holy Grail to 1/2 a kiss

Urban goes GREEN


It's natural (mineral Makeup)
It's pigment color (intense or subtle with a couple of strokes)
It's portable (one little spill-proof bottle)
Yaay!
Urban Decay Loose Pigments Eyeshadow.
I love pigment eyeshadows since I feel you get more bang for your buck. If going to work put it on subtly, and if going out for fun, lay it on and have fab attention-getting eyes!
I love that it's all natural. Actually they say it's mineral makeup with no dyes or pigments.
Think this is worth trying to compare to MAC pigment shadow. That one isn't natural though...

Flawless Skin







We all strive for our skin to look flawless. 

These are two products I use to make myself look like a walking airbrushed supermodel.
If you apply either of these to your face, even without any foundation or powder, your face will have a smooth, even appearance. I don't know how they do it, but it's fab!
Then if you choose to put on foundation or powder, mama mia!
 I always get compliments.

I use them in in rotations so my skin doesn't get uses to one. 
They help control shine, minimize pores, and just fives a "primed" base for makeup to be applied.  I believe the Lancome tops the smashbox only in that sometimes when applying the Smashbox primer it seems the product get "ashy" and it's like you have to make sure it's rubbed in or dusted off (I know it's hard to explain).

Every  so often I do notice I may have to apply a little more when I get home to combat the shine. I have skin that erupts once a month, if you ladies know what I mean, but this miracle in a jar doesn't seem to make it any worse. Kudos.

Dryness You are BANISH-ED!

Aveda Caribbean Therapy scores perfect

It is the chilly side of winter and I don't know about you, but the battle of the ash makes me ti-red.
Now I have to battle no more!

*cue sunshine here*
aaaaaaaaaaaaah
Aveda Caribbean Therapy just works! Once you smooth it on you understand. It is like a grainular sand scrub with oil in it.  You smooth it on and wash it off and wa-lah! Skin of the Gods and you haven't even put on any lotion yet.  Any lotion works after this stuff. 
I've searched the world and my sister's Christmas present finally did the job. 
 THANKS SISSY!
