I tried this product, based on this review below:

Product Description
All-Natural and fragrance-free, Komenuka Bijin’s Makeup Remover gently removes makeup and cleans pores.

Vitamins A, B1, and B2 rejuvenate your skin while removing makeup, and aloe helps make your skin truly healthy. If you’re looking for a safe, all-natural, and effective anti-aging regimen you’ve found it in rice bran – a centuries old beauty regimen and the secret of the ageless Japanese complexion.

Benefit from the miracle that’s been around for centuries!

The Japanese have known for generations that the potent vitamins and antioxidants in rice cleanse, tone, tighten, and regenerate softer and suppler skin. Now it’s available in a highly concentrated unscented formula, along with other pure and all natural ingredients. No other product are available, at any price, with such a high amount of potent ingredients and no chemicals or artificial fillers. You’ll use less and see visible results sooner than other more expensive products.

TrueRenu does the searching – and researching – for you. We look for hard to find, hard working products that do what they promise, and we bring them to you with detailed descriptions. We like Komenuka Bijin for its high amounts of antioxidant rich rice bran, and other natural ingredients. Because the active ingredient is so dominant, you’ll see the benefits sooner – and use less.

Product Size: Net Weight: 100g, or about 3.5 ounces.

But let me tell you, I thought this product STUNK. It’s a makeup remover, shouldn’t it remove makeup? I wear black eyeliner at times, and this remover wouldn’t remove the liner. It left me with makeup still on my face, and I was extremely frustrated. The two times I tried this product, I had to finish with another face wash – just to get the eye makeup off! Not to mention this product left a slimy film on my face. It wasn’t a good product at all, and I’m not going to tell you where you can buy it – cause it costs $36! If you’re looking for a makeup remover like I was – stick with the always amazing Lancome’s Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover.

Hot new mascara from Laura Geller! Full Figured Lashes Mascara!

laura_geller_full_figured.jpg

Bigger is better. This volumizing mascara magnifies and extends lashes by combining two lengths of nylon fibers in a creamy, water-resistant formula. Cellulose and amino acids work to strengthen lashes, while rice protein adds shine. Vitamin-rich ingredients help maintain hydration while preventing damage, so your lashes look luscious day after day. Ophthalmologist-tested, the formula is suitable for contact lens wearers. From Laura Geller.

See our other Laura Geller reviews!

I love this mascara, and I’m a tough critic. I dismiss most mascaras, because I’m extremely picky. I am especially tough on the brushes, a brush is the most crucial part of mascara, if you ask me. And I really love this brush, I love the mascara itself, I love how easily it goes on, and how easily it comes off. It looks and feels like a million bucks!

Also – not that it reeeally matters, but I love the look of the tube! It fits in the hand just perfectly, and I love the shape of the handle! Awesome! All around – two thumbs up!!!

This product really took me by surprise!  I get a lot of samples sent to me, and rarely do I find a product that really amazes me.  Like – how could I not have known about this before – products.  I have seen this product before, but I never actually made the jump to buy it.  But when it was sent to me, I thought – now I can try it out, and see if I like it! Let me just say – that had I known how great this product was earlier, it would have saved me so many foundation mistakes.  This is a miracle product, I’m not even joking.

All of my redness was gone! My sun spots were covered! My favorite part? It makes your pores disappear! I mean honestly! It’s like someone painted my face with fairy dust! :) Okay, getting out of control here…but really, it is amazing!! I wish I had some to give away, I really think every woman should try it!

My Review: Murad’s Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel

age-spot-pigment-lightening-gel_1.jpg

I’m 32 years old now, and I am definitely seeing the toll years of sun has taken on my skin. I have sun spots – and age spots on my cheeks, and they drive me NUTS. I looked online for an over-the counter product that I could use, without the need of a prescription.

I came across this product, and my interest was immediately piqued, because I LOVE Murad. I’ve come to really enjoy their products. They actually work! Go here to read our other reviews on Murad products!

This product is amazing. I put it on my face after cleansing at night before bed. (I pair it with Bliss’s Spiff Upper Lip) After a couple weeks, I have really noticed a difference in the tone of my skin.  My sun/age spots are much lighter – and I am confident that if I keep this up – these spots will disappear altogether.

Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Gel
Quickly diminish freckles, age spots and other unwanted pigmentation with Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Gel’s dual action formula. Hydroquinone, the strongest skin lightening agent available without a prescription, fades discoloration. AHAs exfoliate to improve the penetration of Hydroquinone and encourage cell turnover to accelerate the migration of dark spots to the skin’s surface where they can be lifted away.

Additional features and ingredients:

  • Improves skin clarity and tone
  • Anti-inflammatories Licorice and Allantoin ease irritation

How to Use:

Every day after cleansing and toning, massage a thin layer over face, neck, chest and hands. For optimal results, follow with recommended Murad moisturizer and sunblock during the day.

What it is:
A cream eye liner housed in a long, sexy case—complete with mirror, brush, and smudger.

What it does:
It’s everything you want in a cream eye liner: more precision than a pencil but more forgiving than a liquid.

A great quick dry nail polish, perfect for the girl on the run. I was heading out last night to see The September Issue and realized my nails were a mess. I had only 3 minutes until I had to leave so I quickly removed the old nail polish and swept on Rimmel  60 Seconds nail polish and two minutes later I was out the door. The polish dried quickly and smoothly with no bumps or dents and looks shiny and great, I love it.

Especially great for beauty addicts with little girls, my daughter always wants her nails done but can’t sit long enough for them to dry without messing them up. Rimmel 60 second nail polish drys fast enough I can’t paint her nails and toes without the owrry of a big mess!
