All About the Eyes: Bobbi Brown EXTRA Eye Balm.

Bobbi Brown's skincare EXTRA's are just that. They are extra help remedies targeted to give specific areas a bit of extra help. Except, that these beauties give more than a bit of extra help - they are skin care wonders in themselves.

My nighttime extra help wonder is the one and only Bobbi Brown EXTRA Eye Balm.

When I say balm, I mean it. This beauty of a balm is a very rich balm. So rich, it is not meant for daytime use, unless you are lounging around all day and don't plan on wearing makeup. It is hard working and as it is a balm, it does leave a bit of a greasy after feel. Greasy in a good way, though. It drenches the thirsty eye are in moisture as Vitamin E is a main ingredient.

EXTRA Eye Balm helps fight puffiness, reduce the look of fine, dry lines, and soothes and protects skin.

If you need a bit of extra help in the eye are, and really who doesn't, check out EXTRA Eye Balm at the Bobbi Brown counter or online now. The hefty jar is $60. As a tiny little bit goea a long way, this jar will last an extra long time.

CHANEL Mousse Exfoliante Purete.

I may not have oily skin, but every now and then my skin needs a good "cleaning out". Though this new cleanser was made specifically for combination/oily skin, CHANEL's Mousee Exfoliante Purete, does an amazing job at cleaning out my pores while exfoliating the gunk out of them.

This high performing foaming cleanser uses a powerhouse of an ingredient, Tulip Tree Extract.

Tulip Tree Extract is a natural de-pollution agent known to effectively stop environmental aggressors before damage is done. This precious substance, secreted on the surface of the Tulip Tree’s leaves, traps pollutants that are then washed away by rainwater. Adding to the efficacy, Bioglucane, a biotechnological ingredient, empowers the formula to help preserve and protect skin’s barrier function. Combination-to-oily skin immediately sees benefits as gentle exfoliating beads and natural Meadowsweet Extract control surface oils. A luxuriously lightweight texture glides on for new suppleness and a healthy, natural glow.

Using Mousse Exfoliante Purete once a week has kept my skin in a better than usual shape. If your skin is more on the oily side, you would definitely benefit by using this everyday.

MOUSSE EXFOLIANTE PURETÉ Exfoliating Cleansing Foam Purity + Anti-Pollution is $45.00, on counter now at www.CHANEL.com, select CHANEL boutiques, and department and specialty stores.

Back to School Beauty: Pure Silk Shave Cream.

It's that time of year again. Whether we are going back to school, sending the kids off, or simply making a transition to fal, it is a busy time of year.

No matter how busy you are, don’t let your shaving routine "fall" by the wayside! Make sure you keep your shower stocked with the essentials, such as shaving cream. One of my favorites is Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream.

Once the colder weather sets in and bikinis and dresses are traded for pants and sweaters, it’s tempting to skip a shave here and there. But it’s important to shave year-round, especially the bikini line! Shaving the bikini line with Pure Silk on a regular basis helps to form a microscopic layer of calloused skin, which helps prevent irritation from shaving. Come summertime – or that much-anticipated winter vacation – this calloused layer will help keep away those unsightly red bumps that can appear when skin becomes irritated after a prolonged period without shaving.

Keep it smooth by simply purchasing at drugstores and mass merchandise stores nationwide for under $2.00.
