Urban Decay Triple Threat Travel Pencil Set.

 

If you are like me and change your makeup daily, then you appreciate travel sized products. I am not talking tiny samples. Or core products. I am talking things like shadow, gloss, liner. I actually appreciate smaller sizes because I rarely ever use up something like an eyeliner. That is why this set is perfect for me - and anyone like me who wants the best in perfectly sized beauties. You see Urban Decay took three of their most popular eye pencils shades and packed them together in travel-friendly sizes that make this the perfect Triple Threat.

Urban Decay Triple Threat Travel Pencil Set

I'm not just talking about any eyeliner. I am talking about Urban Decay's famed 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil. These beauties deliver unmatched color payout with a creamy, waterproof formula that glides on and stays put.

Triple Threat contains the following 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils:

  • Demolition - Deep brown matte
  • Zero - Zealous black
  • Rockstar - Darkest eggplant

Now, I've been a fan of these long lasting liners for quite some time, but after my daughter complained of her lower eyeliner always smearing and fading, I showed her these. She was ready to give up but is now a true fan. Caci said that for the first time, her eyeliner lasted all day long - through mid-terms, an afternoon workout, date and late night studying. She was happy to ask me for eye makeup remover because her liner didn't budge, even with her regular makeup removing wipe. From the girl that is never satisfied with anything; that says a lot.

Urban Decay Triple Threat Travel Pencil Set sells for $19.00 at Sephora, ULTA, select Macy's stores and urbandecay.com.

Tan Overnight with Sun Laboratories.

 

I am off to a sunny locale for vacation! Of course I am self-tanning because the thought of my pasty white legs on a beautiful golden sand beach even gives me the willies. An overnight is easy when you have the right products and I have found some new ones that are giving me the glow I want and fast. What am I using? Well, I am using three products as part of my self-tanning routine. They come from self-tanning brand Sun Laboratories, and this is the Tan Overnight Self Tanning Lotion Set.

The set includes three products: an exfoliator body gel, a self-tanner and a tan extender.

Exfoliant Body Gel

I use this gel with a netted sponge for a few days before I started self tanning. I'll continue to use it once or twice a week in order to keep the dead skin off, which helps keeps a self-tan longer.

Self Tanning Lotion

This tinted tanning lotion, with a yummy cherry almond scent, contains the right amount of color to see where I apply the lotion. It absorbs and dries pretty quickly.  I noticed my skin color deepen, almost too dark initially. Once I showered off the tint or color guide, the golden tan was a perfect medium shade. Not too light or not too dark. I am using Dark, which actually leaves my skin a nice believable bronze. I've had a lot of experience with self-tanning, so I am pretty good at application. There is also an Ultra-Dark shade available.

Tan Moisturizer Maintainer

I am using this every night before bed to maintain my tan. It is a lotion that contains a very light blend of DHA (the self-tanning ingredient) to help maintain and extend the tan. It has a fresh Aloe Vera scent and absorbs quick and keeps my skin hydrated too.

So far, my tan is looking good and I am on day three. I would probably reapply the Self Tanning Lotion every five days to maintain the color I want.

The Tan Overnight Self Tanning Lotion Set sells for $43.95 online.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream.

 

Expanding on their very popular and very powerful Repairwear Laser Focus Winkle & UV Damage Corrector, Clinique recently introduced this same patented technology to the eyes. This is Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream

Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream takes a multipronged approach to address the entire eye area for a more refreshed, youthful appearance. I know I want that.

First, the formula repairs UV damage and protects the skin against environmental aggressors. As years of UV exposure damages our cellular DNA causing a breakdown of natural collagen and elastin. This is why lines and wrinkles start to form. The ingredients target this damage and work over time to gradually help repair the appearance of this skin damage. Antioxidants are included to help fight off further damage by protecting it.

Next, this cream visibly improves the appearance the lines and wrinkles, and overall texture. Within 12 weeks, the advanced formula visibly repairs crow's feet, crepey eyelids and undereye cross hatching, which I so struggle with.

Finally, Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream helps to strengthen the moisture barrier. The thickness of skin around the eyes is so much more thin that other parts of the face and body. It is prone to dryness as there are very few oil glands around the eyes. Keeping this delicate skin moisturized helps visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, to create softer, more supple skin that looks younger.

I have only been using this once a day for about a month now, so I cannot attest to the true results that Clinique claims I will see in about 12 weeks. It definitely feels nice around my eyes as I use it in the morning to try and get some of that extra antioxidant protection I really need. I am keeping a close watch on my cross hatching and I think I see a small improvement and will continue to use it and hopefully see even better results.

Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream is for sale at Clinique counters nationwide and at clinique.com now. There are two sizes available: a 15ml size for $43.50 and a 30 ml size for $63.00.
