I have been sent several samples from the new Sally Hansen Inspired by Carmindy line and have really loved them.  The Luminizing Face Primer is no exception. It felt really light going on my skin and made a notable difference in my pores, and felt great on. I gave my face that fresh from a facial glow without the time or money!

Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy has a Luminizing Face Primer ($9.95 at drugstores) that not only smoothes and refines your skin to hide pores and lines, but creates a healthy glow! Micronized pearls allow you to shine whether you wear the primer alone or under your makeup. Skin-smoothing cork oak and olive leaf extracts nourish your skin and boost radiance while vitamin E provides antioxidant protection.

Banish dull, dry winter skin with Lisa Hoffman’s hard working Spa Bath Body Polisher. I love how packed this polisher is with scrubbing granules, it made polishing my skin a breeze.  The heavenly scent of Orchid, Bergamot, Jasmine and Orange leaves your skin polished and smelling delicious.  The pump dispenser is a nice change from the usual tub bath scrubs come in that you have to dig into, one little pump and your on the way to luminous skin.

Lisa Hoffman Beauty’s Spa Bath Body Polisher ($19.95 at www.lisahoffmanbeauty.com) is a deep cleanser that’s designed to remove dead skin cells and leave behind skin that is polished and flawless! Put it on when in the bath or shower and step out with gorgeous skin.

My #6 Must-Have item is actually two items, both from Oscar Blandi. These gifts will THRILL any woman in your life – the products are liquid gold! They actually work, and the results are breathtaking! I loved these products!!!

I recently tried these two Oscar Blandi products, and I almost wish I hadn’t. Now that I know how amazing they are – I will always have to have them on hand! Both of these products are unbelievably awesome. My hair has never felt so good! Soft, and shiny – I didn’t even need to use product after using these!

I have not gotten any new stretch marks and my skin is so soft and I have been lucky enough to skip that tight itchy feel as your tummy grows.  I wish I would have known about Mama Mio during my first pregnancy.

Mama Mio’s Congratulations kit is the perfect way to get her skin conditioned and ready for the rigors of pregnancy. What mom to be doesn’t love a little pampering? On top of working wonders on your skin the products are all natural so there is no worry of harm to your baby and you can use them post delivery to help your skin snap back into shape.  If you are looking for any other skincare items I highly recommend Mama Mio’s Boob Tube, Tummy Rub Butter and  Goodbye to Stretch Marks
