Gift Cards Galore!

vsgiftcards.jpgLet's here it for the Gift Cards! I hope Santa brought you some to your favorite stores.

I love, love, love Gift Cards.  I dropped hints to everyone that I need new "pretty things" from Victoria's Secret, which I do - really. But I forgot to tell them about the huge line of Beauty products they carry now. Oops!

So besides some pretty new undergarments, look at what else I picked up online from their ever expanding beauty department:

Very Sexy Makeup Mosaic Blush - looking for a new everyday blush and this looks do-able in Love Life.

Girl2go Naked Eyes Eye Makeup Remover Wipes - these look so convenient, I am just hoping they do the job and leave no after oils or film.

Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara - because I am running low on this favorite of mine.

Pout Illuminator- selected this in love glow, which is an iridescent pearl to highlight and refresh (hopefully look that way, anyway). 

Patricia Wexler, M.D. Universal Anti-Aging Cleanser - been wanting to try something from this line and who doesn't need an anti-aging something?

DuWop Eye Palette - in Gray as I have been eyeing this for awhile now - can't have enough eye makeup!

That's it. How do you think I did? I can't wait to get everything - and shipping was FREE too. Right now a $100 purchase and the code SEMI is all you need to qualify for it.

QVC Beauty.

Call me a little wacky, but I actually TIVO QVC's beauty shows if I am not home to watch them live. Yes, I am a bit of a beauty freak. Have you figured that out yet?

But these shows not only contain some great products, but great application and product tips as well. I love the different sets they put together, and they usually have an item exclusive to QVC, or special pricing. What's not to love, ladies?

Real Help or Hype?

Another product from Fusion Beauty - this one is Lift Fusion. Is this one all about the hype - or does it really help soften wrinkles similar to Botox?

lift_fusion.jpgWell, it wasn't in store at Sephora when I was there last week. Seems I will be making another trip soon - sans makeup to try this baby out!

Have I considered Botox? Yes - I have. If for anything, just as an experiment. I have very few wrinkles - mostly from squinting and laughing. I guess these are the more "natural" wrinkles at this point in my life. But I would like to see if just a bit will soften them. So then, if I really need it in the future for deeper wrinkles, I will know whether it is worth it for me.  

But first, I will give this a try- anything to avoid an injection - and if this works as the studies say it does - the high price of Botox injections.

Here is the description, straight from Sephora:

Fusion Beauty has pushed the envelope in creating the first Topical-Injectable(tm) alternative to doctor-administered antiwrinkle injections. Both a powerful wrinkle-relaxant and a collagen-booster in one safe needle-free formula. LiftFusion(tm) Micro-Injected MTox(tm) Transdermal Facelift delivers instant, visibly transformational results comparable to popular, physician administered injectables - without the discomfort, side effects, and unnatural loss of facial expressiveness associated with many syringe-administered antiwrinkle products.

What it is formulated to do:
Utilizing the most sophisticated delivery system on the market today, this advanced MTox(tm) technology, (a patented blend of naturally derived compounds that absorb into the skin and visibly relax fine lines, creases, and wrinkles) helps reduce existing wrinkles AND boost collagen to promote skin's natural defenses against new ones; effective right away (within 10 minutes), but completely reversible in 24 hours.

Clinical Testing/Results:
In a clinical study comparing LiftFusion's(tm) topical formula to the top-rated physician administered injectable, results showed 9 out of 10 users preferred LiftFusion(tm) for immediate and cumulative antiwrinkle effects. Test results confirmed, only LiftFusion(tm) delivered a significant visual reduction of fine lines and deep wrinkles.

As my last post on Beauty Fusion's GlowFusion provided a many variety of comments, I am hoping this will do the same.
