Bigger is Better: 6 Supersize Beauty Products to Buy Now.

When shopping for beauty products that you use often, bigger is better. Think of your favorite beauty products. If they are products that you really love and buy month after month, stock up by buying supersize. Not only will you save trips to the store, you will be saving money to boot.

Take my favorite Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser as an example. I could purchase the 3oz. size for $10.00 ($3.33/oz), 8oz. size for $22.00 ($2.75/oz), 16 oz. for $33.00 ($2.06/oz), 24 oz. for $41.00 ($1.71/oz), or 32 oz. for $50.50 ($1.58/oz). Obviously, the best deal is to buy the largest size and pay less per ounce.

Here are my favorite supersize beauty products that are super beauty buys.

This silk finishing powder that adds a soft, airbrushed glow to skin is infused with Vitamins A,C and E to help skin as it makes it look better.

h2o+ Raspberry Guava Shower and Bath Gel Jumbo 32oz. - $24.00
This invigorating body wash has little beads suspended throughout that are full of Vitamin E to nourish the skin as it washes it. It smells so good, just like fresh, ripe raspberries!

A super thick, rich nourishing cream that works hard on even the driest of skin. I use this all over extra dry spots like feet and elbows for instant and soothing relief.

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate 5oz. - $175.00
If you want the results of a facial in a few minutes right in your home, this best seller does the trick better than any other.

The best selling foundation primer, preps and primes skin by filling in pores and lines as it makes for a perfect base for makeup. Foundation just looks better and lasts longer when using.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Facial Cleanser 32oz. - $50.50
My favorite cleanser and product I use each and every day, removes every trace of dirt, oil, makeup with just a very small amount. I have yet to find another cleanser that works as quickly and effectively on my face, while keeping it soft and smooth.

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream.

I am serious about my skin care. It has taken me a long time to learn that I need to use products that do much more than just keep skin hydrated. I need my skin care products to take a multi-pronged approach and target all my signs of aging. On top of that, I don't want to wait months to see if a product is working for me. And the fact that I get to test a lot of products, I really need them to work quickly or I'll move onto the next. Well, I started using the newer Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream two weeks ago and I know I'll be keeping this one in my regimen for some time.

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream was formulated with chemists that took this multi-pronged approach to aging and made this cream target multiple key signs of aging. With Kiehl’s cutting edge formula and their proprietary Tri-Active Technology, this cream clinically demonstrated to simultaneously lift, firm, visibly redefine and retexturize skin in - get this - just two weeks. And those results double in four weeks.

The secret is the combination of Jasmonic Acid, Beech Tree Extract and Fragmented Hyaluronic Acid blended together. Alone, each of these ingredients do things like plump, hydrate, even, and retexturize the skin. Together they did these all, but performed better, and faster then even thought.

Like I said, I've been using Super Super Multi-Corrective Cream for just two weeks, every night. The cream is a thick, almost gel-like cream that instantly absorbs into my skin. It has a strong scent, which I am guessing is from the Beech Tree Extract, but it fades in a few minutes. My skin is more radiant and even in texture in tone. My skin looks and feels more firm. I can't wait to see if it does get better in four weeks, and the longer I use it. 

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Cream is available now for $62.00 wherever Kiehl's is sold, including kiehls.com.

Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Serum & Cream.

My number one skin care concern right now is aging, and everything that comes with it. I have sun damage and I am not getting any younger. I am concerned about my skin and do what I can do make it look as young as it can. Well, without turning to injections, botox, or plastic surgery. Though I am considering some botox. Soon.

In searching for some new skin care to try, I discovered this new Peptide Renewal Serum and Peptide Renewal Cream from Mario Badescu. After discovering how much I like their products last year, I couldn't wait to try this new age fighting duo.

This cream and serum combine peptides with youth-boosting botanicals to recover a firmer, contoured, more youthful appearance. I like the sound of that. They treat all those signs of aging skin that I am battling - wrinkles, sagging, uneven texture, and lack of hydration.

I have been applying both the serum and cream at night. I use a few drops of the Peptide Renewal serum and rub it over my skin and let it absorb. I follow that with the Peptide Renewal Cream. This cream is really thick and it was meant for those of us with very dry and mature skin. I am liking the way my skin is feeling with this combination. Of course it feels nice and hydrated as soon as I apply it, but I don't feel as though my skin gets as dry as it has been during the day since using. I also feel like I just look better when I wake up. I haven't used it long enough to pinpoint everything it does, but just the notice in feel and better hydration alone is enough for me to continue and keep it in my routine.

Mario Badescu Peptide Renewal Serum retails for $45, and the Peptide Renewal Cream retails for $35.00. They are available at Nordstrom and at mariobadescu.com now.
