Dead Sea Elements Wipes & IntensivEYE Soothing Pads

Dead Sea Elements 

IntensivEYE Soothing pads 

AS we enter the New Year with resolutions of getting fit , eating better , spending less , we often find ourselves running out of time to do all that we had resolved to do . With that being said we sometimes forget or neglect our face . Especially during the holiday season . Coming home late the last thing we think about is washing our face thoroughly ! Don't lie we have all done it ! 

I was given the opportunity to review these 2 amazing products & I was supposed to write about them before the holidays but I really like to test out the products sent to me so that i can give a very honest review .. So here is goes .

1. The Dead Sea Elements are insanely undiscovered ! I will most likely never run to a counter again for cosmetic wipes ! These miracle clothes totally cleaned my face with 1 side . On Christmas Eve we came home from my in-laws house at 1:30 and we still had to escort "Santa's" gifts in the house not to mention eat the reindeer's food .. So as you can imagine , I had No time (well i did but didn't want to ) wash my face . I cracked open my Dead Sea Wipes and was amazed at how well they made my face feel not just right away but in the morning my face wasn't dry or irritated . I LOVE THEM ! I am a Fan with there non-abrasive dead sea salt they totally revived my skin . The package was easy to use , snap open , snap shut it kept all my wipes moist even after i opened the package ! 

You get 30 Towelettes for $5.99 That's a steal and you can find them at any local drugstore ! 

2. IntensivEYE Soothing Pads came in at just the right time . As many of you know , I own a Makeup School in San Diego and all of my students are required to bring in models for there last day of class . On that day each model gets there makeup done 3 to 4 times so you can imagine there poor eyes ! I love makeup but not that much ! Right in the middle of a makeup change i received IntensivEYE pads & was able to crack them open & allow the models to use them to soothe there over worked eyes .. Can i just say that I saw a 100% difference in the redness of there eyes & each one of them mentioned how good these pads felt . These pads were twice as thick as other eye pads . They help cool & soothe the eye area . The cucumber extract really helped replenish moisture to the most sensitive area of the eye .. They truly are a great buy and they only cost $4.49 at your local drug store ! 

My last statement from a professional standpoint is that BOTH of these are a must for your Pro kit & personal life ! 

Covergirl BlastFlipstick Review

 

I love being a member of Bzzagent, I am constantly learning about the newest products on the market. Like Covergirl's new BlastFlipstick for instance.  These new double ended lipsticks are great. One end offers a creamy shade of lip color while the other end offers some shimmer, so with just a little flip of your lipstick you can choose the color that suits you at the moment. That's not all though, blend both colors together and you get a different shade all together so it's like having three lipsticks in one slim stick.

 

 

I received two of these BlastFlipsticks for my review, Stunner and Vixen. I didn't think Stunner suited my complexion so I gave it to my mom who has a fairer complexion and she absolutely loves it. I am however using Vixen everyday since I received it. I love how smooth it goes on but mostly I love the colors. I have been using the shimmer during the day, the creamy shade in the evening and occasionally when I am feeling a little playful have been blending the two to create a color that pops.

 

BlastFlipstick comes in 13 different shades or 39, however you see it. They retail for around $8.49 and can be purchased wherever Covergirl products are sold.

Torani Review

With Christmas on its, way most of us have holiday parties, cookie decorating and for me there certain flavors that just make Christmas feel whole. Pumpkin, Egg Nog, and Gingerbread are my top favorites! I was really excited when Shespeaks sent me both Hazelnut and Gingerbread. The first thing I did was take them over to my friend's Playgroup and tested them out on the moms there. I made Gingerbread Lattes and they were a really big hit! Everyone loved the flavor! Here's the recipe I followed:

Gingerbread Latte

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp (1 oz) Torani Gingerbread Syrup
• 1 cup (8oz) milk
• 2 shots espresso

Instructions:Steam together milk and Torani. Pour into a tall glass and add brewed espresso. Spoon a thin layer of foamed milk over beverage.  You can substitute 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, that's what I do since I don't have an espresso machine.

 

 

This second drink that I made for myself would be great for a holiday party or for Christmas morning. I love Hazelnut and Chocolate and who doesn't love Macadamia nuts! Plus the name itself sounds like Christmas. Charlie Brown Mocha. I'm going to make one of these and curl up in a blanket and watch Charlie Browns Christmas tonight! Sounds good huh!

 



Charlie Brown Mocha

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp (1/2 oz) Torani Macadamia Nut Syrup
• 1 tbsp (1/2 oz) Torani Dark Chocolate Sauce
• 1 tbsp (1/2 oz) Torani Classic Hazelnut Syrup
• 2 shots espresso
• 1 cup (8oz) milk, steamed

Instructions:Steam together milk & Torani. Pour into a glass and add brewed espresso. Garnish with Chocolate Sauce drizzle. *Can substitute 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee

I want to thank Shespeaks for sending this product to me. I never realized how easy this was to do yourself. Besides, it's nice to not spend $5 for a coffee that I can make myself every day.

 

Merry Christmas everyone!
