I’ve found my new favorite perfume!

dior_addict_shine1.jpg 

My favorite sister-in-law bought me a little thank you gift recently.  She’s getting married, so I threw her an engagement party.  She went out and bought me a few wonderful gifts, and one of them was Dior’s Addict Shine.

I’m not usually the type to buy perfumes.  With my allergies, I can only wear a handful of fragrances, and they normally have to be pretty light.  This is the PERFECT scent for me.  I absolutely LOVE it.  I wear it, even when I’m in my jammies and not leaving the house. 

It’s perfect for those of you that like light, fruity scents.  It’s amazing - the top of my favorites!

Dior Addict Shine
A Refreshing Fruity Shine.
Introducing a new facet of Dior Addict, Addict Shine, a luminous and dazzling fragrance. Dior Addict Shine is a reflection of John Galliano’s style: ultra feminine, sophisticated, and impactful. It’s a young, chic, and sensual fragrance for the woman who has to shine.

Dior Addict Shine radiates its fresh fruity and glowing charm with an unexpected citrus-y top note of cedrat, a fresh middle note of gardenia and raspberry, and a sensual base note of cedar woods. Available exclusively at Sephora.

Notes:
Cedrat, Gardenia, Raspberry, Cedar Woods.

My new fav fragrance.

the-beat.jpg

I’ve had a love hate relationship with Burberry fragrances for awhile, I love the men’s line and I think it smells amazing on my hubby. I tried a few different scents for myself and I start out loving them and a few weeks in I just get totally turned off and the bottle just ends up sitting there.

I just tried the new Burberry The Beat and it is all love! I have been wearing it for almost a month and I like it more each time I wear it. I like the more mellow and smoky smell of The Beat a lot of other Burberry scents I have worn end up smelling like wool to me (and I’m allergic to wool so it’s not a happy scent to my nose), The Beat mellows really well while staying true to the initial scent.

Burberry The Beat

Attitude meets energy in Burberry The Beat. This sparkling floral woody fragrance is at once sexy, feminine, modern, dynamic, and vibrant. The floral topnotes are reminiscent of a carpet of bluebells in a dense forest, mixed with the tradition and contradictions of Ceylon tea. Smoky and sensual tones of wood round out the scent of The Beat.

Notes:
Bergamot, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Mandarin, Iris, Bluebell, Ceylon Tea, White Musk, Vetiver, Cedarwood.
Style:
Stylish. Sensual. Energetic.

$50.00-$130.00 Burberry The Beat 1 oz Eau de Parfum Spray

    lumitone_hp_pro_brightening_serum_062007.jpg 

    Brighten dull, ashy skin and treat uneven skin tone with Aloette Lumitone HP Pro Brightening Serum, the Non-Surgical Skin Brightening System. You will see results in just 14 days!

    This skin brightening serum, with the new additions of plant-derived, non-irritating ingredients, helps reduce red and splotchy skin while treating uneven skin color and tone. Containing a proprietary blend of multiple peptides and brighteners, including the powerful white daisy extract, Lumitone HP Pro Brightening Serum brings a renewed brightness and luminescence to your skin in just 14 days. Lumitone HP Pro’s aloe vera-based formula glides on gently and keeps your skin hydrated and smooth throughout the entire day. Try the newest addition to Aloette’s anti-aging collection today!

    • This skin brightener utilizes non-irritating, plant-derived ingredients designed to enhance skin brightening.
    • Lumitone HP Pro enhances the brightening capabilities of our existing Lumitone complex.
    • This new skin brightening serum from Aloette is substantially less irritating than other popular brightening treatments, causing less redness in customers with sensitive skin.

    Lumitone HP (High Potency) is a patent pending blend of 5 clinically tested ingredients designed to brighten, smooth, and restore the glow to all skin types. As the skin ages it becomes dull, ruddy, and age spots begin to develop. Much of this damage is caused in earlier stages of life (from sun rays and environmental factors), but as the skin starts to age, they become more visible. While conventional treatments have relied on harsh chemicals and bleaching creams, Lumitone uses a revolutionary new combination of natural ingredients to tackle the problem – without the harmful side effects of the chemically based products.

    “As aging occurs, the skin begins to become dull, unevenly toned and loses its ability to reflect light. Lumitone is Aloette’s proprietary blend of clinically tested and scientifically proven ingredients designed to brighten the skin without the use of harsh chemicals that can cause long-term damage. Lumitone works naturally with the skin to enhance glow and radiance, promoting a brighter complexion. Get back the luminosity of your skin - with Lumitone!” –Christie Cohen, Aloette Chairman of the Board.

    I cannot rave about this product enough.  I was the most excited to try this - because my skin has very obvious red blotches.  I hate it - right under my eyes, I have red patches, and it drives me nuts!  I was totally thrilled to try this - and I’m very happy to report that it works - WONDERS.  It does exactly what it says, and it moisturizes to boot.  I absolutely love having this product.  I put it on in the morning right out of the shower -and when I go to apply my makeup - my red patches are all but gone.  I love this product.  A+!

    acne_treatment_lotion_4540.jpg 

    Acne Treatment Lotion is perfect for adults and teenagers who suffer from acne-prone or excessive oily skin. This spot treatment lotion contains a powerful, fast-acting formula consisting of glycolic acid, salicylic acid and sulfur that works to effectively reduce redness of the skin, promote healing of acne blemishes and help prevent future breakouts. Use Acne Treatment Lotion with other products from the Simply Clear skin care line to achieve clean, blemish-free skin.

    This is the one product - I wasn’t too crazy about.  I love the idea of having something that I can use - when a blemish pops up.  I don’t usually have acne, but every once and a while - they happen.  So I did get to try it out, and while IT DID WORK - it also STUNK.  I put it on my blemish - and when the product dries, it really STINKS.  I kept smelling burnt rubber (that’s what it smelled like to me) all day.  So I can’t tell you that it doesn’t work - because it did.  It zapped the blemish right away.  BUT it also smells terrible… so I dunno, the greater evil - I suppose.

    warming_pumpkin_energizing_masque_4592.jpg

    Can’t go wrong with an energizing mask, right?  I love masks - I’m always trying new ones, and I’m usually impressed with them all.  This was a GREAT mask.  It really does energize your skin - leaving you feeling like you’ve just stepped out of a spa.  I love this mask - love the smell - love everything about it.  It’s really not too expensive, either - and I can appreciate that.  For those pumpkin fans out there - this is the mask for you!
