Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Instant Treatment Eye Mask

I’m a girl that rarely gets facials. I actually love pampering myself at home instead. I feel like I get more bang for my buck and I can often get numerous treatments or applications for the price of just one facial at the spa. As we age, one of the biggest concerns for fine lines and wrinkles is the eye area. It is the first area of our face that will start to show aging, and when you laugh as much as I do, It’s both a blessing and a curse! I discovered these amazing eye treatment masks three years ago and absolutely fell in LOVE. Shiseido Benefiance Pure Retinol Treatment Eye Mask, $62 for 12 packettes, at Nordstrom.com, are one of the best treatment products I have found for the delicate eye area. You apply the mask to your eye area and leave it on for 15 minutes. When you remove the mask, you are left with super smooth, hydrated skin. I actually have not a line in sight when I use these. They are perfect to use when you have that special event or a big night out on the town. They are a little pricey but worth every penny! I don’t mind splurging on products if they actually work…these definitely live up to their claims and more-

Urban Decay Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion

How you prep your face prior to putting on your makeup, is just as important as the foundation, powder, etc. itself that you use. By starting with the proper canvas, you provide your makeup the perfect base for smoother skin and longer lasting results. I am a big fan of primers. I love the way they smooth out my complexion. When it comes to eyeshadow primers, they definitely help keep your eyeshadow stay put and also helps intensify the color. They also block out any discoloration you may have on your eyelids. One of my favorite eyeshadow primers is Urban Decays Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion, $20 at Sephora.com. I really like the consistency of this primer itself. It’s not too powdery and it is the perfect color to neutralize my lids. When I first discovered eyeshadow primers, I thought the idea of it kind of just seemed like it was a waste of money. I knew I could certainly just get away with using my face primer on my lids as well, but eyeshadow primers definitely work and once you have used one, you will be hooked for life–

Do you ever look in the mirror and say “Wow, my skin looks so dull?” If so, you will definitely want to try the Triple Oxygen Energizing Mask by Bliss. This five minute mask is a super-quick-fix for dull, tired skin. I discovered this mask six years ago and I have been in LOVE with it ever since. This mask is engineered as a stand-in for the oxygen mask that Bliss is known for at their world famous spas. I often feel like there is a lot of hype around treatment masks. This mask definitely lives up to it’s claims. I don’t even know how to describe it, but once you apply this to your skin, it develops a foam that you can actually feel working. You leave the mask on for five minutes, then rinse with cool water. What you are left with is clear, glowing, radiant skin. This is my go-to mask on those days when I’m looking and feeling extra tired. The Bliss Triple Oxygen Energizing Mask retails for $54 at Blissworld.com. The 3.4 oz bottle lasts for quite a while.

BareMinerals Stroke Of Light Eye Brightener

Okay, you are probably going to start to see a running theme here with me and the issue I have with my eyes. I DO NOT get enough sleep…ever! I wish it wasn’t true, but I just can’t seem to get my eight hours of beauty sleep that I so desperately need. So, the next best thing is faking it. It is simply a fact, I not only use a concealer, I almost always use some sort of brightener under my eyes as well. I often reapply during the day too when I feel like my eyes need a little pick-me-up. One of my latest discoveries is BareMinerals Stroke Of Light Eye Brightener in Luminous 2, $22 at Sephora.com. I like so many things about this product. First and foremost, the packaging makes this really easy to apply. Just a few dabs around the corners of your eyes and you are good to go. Also, it’s hydrating, so it tends to keep those fine lines at bay and keeps your skin fresh and dewy. This little tube of magic is quite a bargain, especially compared to some of my other favorite eye brighteners. So if you’re like me and feeling a little sleep deprived, definitely pick up Stroke Of Light, it’s become my secret weapon. Well, I guess it’s not a secret anymore!

Obagi Nu-Derm System

Let me start by saying, the Obagi Nu-Derm system is not for the faint of heart. It’s also not for anyone that does not want to commit to a few months of a multiple step routine. If you decide to try this system, you will end up with beautiful, even toned, and refined skin. The first few weeks are pretty brutal. I have used this system on three different occasions. The first time I used it was definitely the harshest. Be prepared to peel a lot. Yes, your skin will also be slightly red and flaky. Once you get past the initial exfoliation phase, which really only lasts a couple of weeks, it’s not too bad. Anyone suffering from pigmentation issues or if your texture just isn’t as smooth as it used to be, this is the routine for you. The one product that really boosts the entire system and takes it to the next level, is the combination of Retin-A mixed with the Obagi Blender. Retin-A is a very powerful prescription strength form of Vitamin A. Obagi products are available at Plastic Surgeon and Dermatology offices across the country. I have ordered my system from Lovelyskin.com on a few occasions and they have great prices and really quick delivery. The Obagi Nu-Derm system comes is two different versions. One is tailored for oily skin and the other for normal/dry skin. The trial version shown above retails for $229 and is worth every cent. Now get GLOWING and be prepared to reveal more beautiful skin.
