We all want to have intensity when we put on our eyeshadow. But at the same time who wants to lay down a ton of money to get the effect? With Milani Eyeshadow Primer you can achieve what you want. The eyeshadow goes on nude and dries invisibly. And you’ll know it is working by the professional appearance of your eyeshadow. The Milani Eyeshadow Primer will lock down your eyeshadow making it crease-proof and fade-proof. The lightweight primer will glide on your lids effortlessly, leaving a smooth canvas for budge-proof shadow application.

This has quickly become one of my favorite eyeshadow primers. Urban Decay was one of my favorite go to eyeshadow primers. But ever since I have been using the Milani Eyeshadow Primer, the Urban Decay Primer has been placed on the back burner, My eyeshadow does not fade or crease, and the color stays at the same intensity for hours on end. If you want the ultimate glue for your eyeshadow, then this primer is for you. When I use this eyeshadow primer,  I do not have any problems with my eyeshadow disappearing in the New Orleans humidity. And it gets VERY humid down here. I think it makes a difference in shadow pigmentation, and does a good job of keeping your eyeshadow from smudging. The Milani Eyeshadow Primer has made a big difference in my makeup routine.

The Milani Eyeshadow Primer retails for $5.99. It may be purchased at ULTA, Target, WalMart and Walgreens.

I’m sure you are asking “What on earth is jeju canola honey?” Jeju canola honey and canola seed oil provide a powerful dual moisture effect to delicately moisten skin.  I got this product when I was playing on the Internet looking for serums which treat dry skin. When I saw the Innisfree Canola Jeju Honey Serum and what it could do for my dry skin, I took a chance and purchased it.

The consistency of the serum is gel-like. I found that the serum absorbed into the skin easily, and it moisturises with little to no stickiness. But the double hydrating affect with the Canola honey and the Canola seed oil delivering deep moisture into the skin, far out weighs the any stickiness issue. And on a side note the serum contains 44.5% Canola honey extracts, making nice and natural for the skin.

What exactly are serums? Serums are a more concentrated form of essence that is packed with vitamins that seeps into the skin. Most serums and essences are rather pricey, granted they contain much higher concentrations of key ingredients, vitamins and minerals, but I could not turn down this product. I love the smell and texture of the Innisfree Canola Jeju Honey Serum. It’s so fresh and clean. It is almost as if you are at a day spa getting a facial. And while the texture is gel like, it isn’t a heavy consistency. It is sleek and goes on smoothly. And since you only need a small amount of the Innisfree, one bottle will last you for a while.

The product comes in a pump dispenser, which means it it also very hygienic. No more dipping dirty fingers into pots and jars of cream. The texture is like honey and smells a little bit like honey. And even though it feels and smells like honey, this serum is not sticky. It is not greasy and can be used both day and night.

I really encourage people with dry skin to give the Innisfree Canola Jeju Honey Serum a try. Before using this product, my face was dry and tight. After a week or two of using this product, I found my skin to be hydrated and soft.

The Innisfree Canola Jeju Honey Serum retails for $19.99. You may purchase it at www.amazon.com.

Are you suffering from rough, dry, sagging skin? Does your complexion get in the way of applying makeup? If you are looking to restore  your skin’s natural moisture, then Missha’s Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Intensive serum is here to help.

Missha’s triplex aqua system helps block dryness:

1. Aqua Lock – prevents moisture loss as your body temperature rises due to external factors;
2. Aqua Sponge – allows moisture to be absorbed into every crevice; and
3. Pulls moisture from the outside in and holds it in for periods of time to help keep skin dewy and healthy.

The triplex system prevents dryness, and keeps your skin moist all day.

I used this serum for about a week and a half, in the morning and at night. It is moisturizing without a greasy feeling. I suffer from dry skin, and the Missha Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Intensive Serum has proven to be very useful. It adds extra hydration, making my skin supple and soft. All the while it plumps my fine lines and creases. The serum absorbs quickly into my skin and has a fresh scent. The Missha’s Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Intensive serum has a jelly like consistency, but at the same time does not give a sticky, oily feeling. And finally, the serum is light enough  to follow up with a moisturizer.

I am a BIG fan of the company MISSHA. It has been consistent with producing quality skincare products for all skin types. The Super Aqua Ultra Water-Full Intensive Serum proves that. This is a great serum which would be an excellent part of a skincare regimen for those with normal to dry skin.
