AmorePacific Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer.

Do you lighten up your makeup routine in the warm weather months? I do. I know I have mentioned it before and how I need to move from a full on foundation makeup to using a tinted moisturizer for the summer. Often though, I still find that I need to layer on the Tinted Moisturizer over my regular daily moisturizer. This is not the point, right? I have found a few Tinted Moisturizers that can stand alone and hold up to my skins' hydration needs. Though, I do not think any have worked quite as well as this new one from AmorePacific has done.

You see, AmorePacific is first and foremost a skin care company. Being so, I would say this Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer is more of a light-weight but heavy hydrating moisturizer, with a tint to it. Just what I have been looking for.

The formula is unique, yes. It hydrates the skin, protects it from the sun with an SPF of 15, it improves the health of skin, and it also provides a beautiful sheer color to the skin - in an instant. It is oil-free and contains moisture-rich bamboo sap along with 6 year old Korean Red Ginseng that work hard to make skin look as fabulous as it can beneath the tint.

There are just four shades to select from, and my pale yet faux-tanned skin has been using Deep, believe it or not. I err to say that all of the colors apply much lighter than they appear to be. When ordering, I suggest ordering a shade darker than you think you need.

I really think that once you try Moisture Bound Tinted Moisturizer, it will change the way you feel about the ordinary run of Tinted Moisturizers on the market today. This is available right now only at Neiman Marcus for $70. It is pricey, but well worth it for very dry and thirsty skin.

3 LAB "M" Cream: a-M-azing.

Amazing in a word. For the ultimate in a moisturizing lift, this cream is the cream of the crop, so to speak. The cream of a very rare swiss apple, as a matter of fact.

I don't know how they do or how they would have even thought to have discovered it, but the world class scientists over at 3LAB have used the stem cells from a rare swiss apple to develop this cream.

“M” Cream hydrates and firms the skin with Nano-Claire GY^TM, the world’s first bioengineered growth hormone. PhytoCellTec^TM Malus Domestica, stem cells from a rare Swiss Apple that have been proven to slow down and delay the aging process. Happybelle, a plant-based beta endorphin, stimulates key enzymes in the receptor system helping to relieve skin aggressors and bring out natural radiance while fighting the root causes of environmental damage and also contains Osilift which immediately firms the skin and relaxes muscle contractions.

In easier to understand terms, not only does this Swiss Apple help slow down the aging process, it greatly improves skin firmness, while helping it look more lifted, toned and bright. Trust me, you will be swiping the sides of the jar as it runs out in order to get every last drop.

The price tag is pretty steep at $250. But if you are a skeptic or one that likes to try before you buy, there is a deluxe sample size of "M" Cream included in this quarters edition of Beautyfix. And this sample size will last you a good 4 - 6 weeks, just when you will discover that you cannot live without it any more.

Wei East China Lotus Anti-Aging Masque.

My skin is needing some much needed hydration as the seasons change from winter to spring. Seeing

as it is spring and the temperatures here have been quite below normal, even for early spring, my skin is still overly dry. It is in need of something beyond normal moisturization. This new beauty I found is helping in a much needed way. From Wei East is this fantastic China Lotus Anti-Aging Masque.

Specifically formulated for aging skin (and really, whose skin is not aging?) it is great for skin at any level of dryness. The outcome will only be more instant hydration, but with regular use, my skin seems to need less and less of it.

Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Drench your skin in hydration, with the added anti-aging benefit of lotus seed extract. Lush feeling, rich in moisture; watch thirsty skin drink it right in. In just ten minutes, skin feels revitalized, renewed, youthful.

This masque looks and feels like a really thick cream, but it is more than cream. It smells wonderful as it is enriched with the popular anti-aging extract of lotus seed. After covering face and neck with this masque, simply leave it on for ten minutes and tissue it off. I follow with toner and then a regular moisturizing skin cream. My skin is so much more supple, firm and a bit more plump after just this short time.

I really cannot say more about it. If your skin is dry, especially if it is overly dry, make this Wei East China Lotus Masque your regular friend.

You can buy this masque ($36) online at the Wei East site or over on HSN.com where Wei makes regular appearances with various products in her line.

P.S. If you are intrigued and want to try more, I suggest this Discover White Lotus 5 pc Collection.
