DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT

I have been loving my Neutrogena Makeup Remover and Cleansing Towelettes, the hydrating ones that are new. As I am running low on them I ran over to Target last night to purchase another package. However, they were out! So, I decided to purchase the regular towelettes (not the hydrating ones which are relatively new) and then decided to try the Pond's Original All Day Clean with vitamin E as there was a little travel version in the travel isle. DO NOT USE THESE!! They were extremely rough on my skin and made my skin so dry after just one use. NOT A GOOD PRODUCT! Also, it have a very strong alcohol smell to them as well. The package states that it "gently" lifts away make-up and "nourishes". Neither one is true. Awful product and will NOT use them again. In the trash they go!!

New Skin Care Routine - For the Eyes

So, I am a little late to the game. It took the discovery of two wrinkles, one under each eye. While some of my friends say that they cannot see them, they look like huge crevices to me!! I am in the process of trying on different eye products to try to either lessen the lines or stop new ones from developing. I have researched, talked to friends, family and I even asked the people at Sephora (which is my new favorite store!) for their advice. I am trying the cheaper stuff first because, well, let's face it...who wants to really want to fork over at least $90 for an eye cream??

So - here is the list with some of my ratings:

1. Neutrogena Anti-Oxident Eye Cream - I got this from a friend for a present and have used it sporadically until recently. While the wrinkles are still there, and haven't diminished at all, my eyes are very moisturized. No dryness at all.

2. Garnier Ultra Anti-Wrinkle Eye Roller - I received this recommendation from my sister - "Say hello to your new best friend". While I wouldn't call us friends just yet, it has reduced some of the puffiness in the morning. Although more sleep would probably do that as well. It has caffeine in it so that is what decreases the puffiness. I roll this under my eyes in the morning if I have not had much sleep the night before and it does seem to do the job. Again, still the two huge wrinkles!

3. Shiseido Benfiance Concentrated Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream - I received this as a sample from an earlier purchase at Sephora. Decided I would give it a go until the sample ran out. After a week I had to stop. It was way too much. This product is so creamy and thick that it made my eyes really, for lack of a better word, oily. At least that is what it felt like. Always felt like I needed to wipe away excess product when I only put on a little more than a pin prick. Not good at all. Plus...still the two wrinkles.

While I know that I will probably never get rid of these two wrinkles, you can't blame a girl for trying. And yes, I am hoping for a gift certificate to Sephora for Christmas so I can get the $90 bottle of eye cream that I so want!

Will keep you posted!!

Who knew?

Who knew that it would take me 20 years to realize that a girl should take the time to take care of her skin, put on some makeup, and try to take care of her body. Well, two out of three ain't bad! I'm still working on the taking care of my body. That seems like a never ending roller coaster that hopefully with this blog I just might get a hold on. I hope to share my insights and things I am learning alone the way. I may be almost 40 but it is never to late to learn how to really live!
