StriVectin-SD Power Serum for Wrinkles.

StriVectin was the first heavy duty anti-aging product I used. I still use their original StriVectin-SD often. What started out as a cellulite cream turned into a best seller in skin firming. If I have a special event, I use this for a week or so leading up to it just to be sure I get the firmer skin I want. Imagine when I heard there is a new daily serum added to the line-up? I couldn't wait to try it, and I have been using this new serum every day since. This is StriVectin-SD Power Serum for Wrinkles.

EcoTools® Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set.

Fall is here. It is so not my favorite time of year (I LOVE SUMMER!), but it is the time of year that feels like a new year for me. It's all about new beginnings. Of course, this carries over to makeup. Not only new makeup, but a new makeup style.

As the seasons are changing, earth-friendly beauty products leader EcoTools® and celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles, have teamed up to debut a new on trend look you can create at home in just five minutes.

A pop of color on the eye in a rich hue like sapphire, burgundy or emerald green is fun and flattering for fall. “It’s all about the Jewel-Toned Eye,” said Stiles. “Bringing in rich colors like sapphire, burgundy and emerald green into your makeup routine is both fun and flattering for everyday wear. With the right cosmetic brushes, it’s easy to achieve. I love using EcoTools® because they’re high quality, super soft and kind to the environment, so you not only look beautiful, but can live beautifully.

The brushes:

  • Blush Brush
  • Eye Shading Brush
  • Eyeliner Brush
  • Lash and Brow Groomer
  • Concealer Brush

I cannot believe the quality of these brushes. My favorite brushes cost more than three times the price of this entire set! Al of the brushes are full, super soft and help apply makeup with ease. I am using the Blush Brush in my everyday routine already, and the Eyeliner Brush is another I am using to line the bottom of my eyes. The thicker brush with slight angle is perfect for extending the eyes and blending the shadows into a perfect line. The Eye Shading Brush is perfect for this seasons cream shadows, as well as using with powder.

This set is available online at ecotools.com for $12.99. It is only $9.99 at Walgreens right now though, but just through the end of the month.
