This is a plummy/burgundy look I did using my Wet-n-Wild Color Icon Palette in Lust.

Review: Erno Laszlo Dry Skin Products
Sorry for being MIA folks, I've been pretty sick for awhile. Thankfully, I feel like I'm finally on the mend. I had 2 Erno Laszlo Dry Skin Products sent to me by a PR rep of the company to try & review (<-See image). So far, I really like what I received. Let me break these down for you.
Top: HydrapHel Skin Supplement (aka Toner) - This toner does several things, such as removing any residual facial cleanser, gently exfoliates by loosening dead skin cells, balances pH so moisturizer is more effective, & more. Many toners contain alcohol, which can be very drying. Thankfully, this one does not. This toner felt refreshing to my skin w/o stripping moisture. My skin likes this.
Bottom: HydrapHel Emulsion SPF 15 (aka Moisturizer) - As stated on the website: "Designed for the driest skin types, HydrapHel Emulsion mimics skin's own natural moisture and brings intensive hydration without irritation." This moisturizer is very rich & creamy & felt soothing on my skin. An issue that I often have w/skincare (& some cosmetics for that matter) is fragrance. Thankfully, this product has a very mild scent that did not give me any problems. Whether it's just a really mild fragrance or just the natural combination of scents from the ingredients, it's fine. I had no issues. Plus, it just felt really nice on my dry skin.
Overall I (or should I say my skin, lol) enjoyed these skincare products. The toner was refreshing & non-drying & the moisturizer was rich, creamy, & soothing.

Have you, my readers, tried their products? What did you think of 'em? Let me know in the comments! :)
I did not pay for these products, they were sent to me to try & review by a representative of the company. This in no way effects my opinions.

Review: Personal Microderm System
Want smoother, overall improved skin? Of course! Well, I was recently contacted by SkinCareRx.com to try & review their home microdermabrasion system that they have available on their website.What is the home microdermabrasion system? Well, basically, as you can see in the photo, it is a small cylindrical machine with several exfoliating disc inserts. The blue discs have a finer grit, good for more sensitive skin. Whereas the green have a rougher grit. I used the blue.
The machine itself, besides rotating the discs, also creates a bit of suction. It gently lifts the skin closer to the exfoliating disc, so it can do a thorough job.
There is a danger here. You need to keep the machine moving & not stay in one place for too long. Otherwise you risk penetrating to deep (I accidentally did this & got a couple red marks. I'm clumsy. :-( ). However, this machine does come w/both paper instructions & an instructional DVD (Yes, I did watch it. Attentively.). So, if you're not clumsy like me, you should be ok, lol.
In spite of my clumsiness, my results overall were actually pretty good! I don't see a sign of dryness on my face & my face feels smoother than it has in a long time!
Overall, I do recommend it. You just need to be really careful. Clutzy people like me? Even more so! Lol.
This product was sent to me by a representative of the company to review. I did not pay for this product. This in no way affects my opinions of the product.
