P-Co Beauty Diary

I was sent  Rodan + Fields REDEFINE and ACUTE CARE  for review but all opinions are my own! I am in my 30's now so using anti-aging skin care is really important to me. I want to do whatever I can to prevent and treat wrinkles but I also suffer from hormonal breakouts, so finding a regimen to treat both can be tricky. I was interested in  Rodan + Fields REDEFINE and ACUTE CARE  products because they claimed to treat lines, pores, and the loss of firmness. This skin care kit is a 3 step system that is simple, and here are my thoughts. Step 1- Daily Cleansing Mask This cleanser took a little bit for me to get used to because it is a thick, non-foaming cleanser that is more like a mask than cleanser (hence the name). It can be used day and night, but I would remove your makeup completely before you use this cleanser. I honestly think this cleanser was what cleared up my skin. Since it has some texture it was exfoliating while the kaolin dried up any existin...

Influenster sent me another great voxbox! Similar to the other boxes, these items were sent to me for free by Influentster in exchange for my honest review. Check out my video unboxing!

In my Influenster Frosty VoxBox I received a sample of the Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Advance Serum. Now the sample I received was too small for me to review. I like to try my skin care out for a few weeks before I form an opinion, but I thought this video was very interesting. I am not sure if I could go that many days with out a mirror. Could you?

These goodies were provided to me for free an exchange fro my honest opinions. Look out for future reviews!

Rejuveniqe Oil Intensive by Monat  was provided to me for free in exchange for my honest review. I was happy to get a chance to try this luxury oil, and the first thing I noticed was the yummy smell. It smells like lemon pound cake. This oil's key ingredient is abyssinian oil, which helps provide nutrients to the hair and smooth the cuticle. I use this oil mainly on my hair but it can be used on the face and body as well. I found that is oil absorbed well into my scalp and hair and left my hair soft and shiny. This oil is a great for curly hair and I will be picking up another bottle when I run out.

This month Birchbox teamed up with Women's Health again and inside my July box was- -Ruffian Nail Lacquer in Rosary and Nail Lacquer Remover Towelettes -Naobay Body Radiance Lotion -Caudalie Polyphenol  Overnight Detox Oil -Benefit Pose Balm -Beauty Protector Hair Mask

I was thinking about doing a french manicure and then I remembered that Influenster sent me Kiss Everlasting French Manicure in my Spring Fling VoxBox. This kit includes different size nail tips along with nail glue, a mini file, and a wooden cuticle stick. These were easy to apply and fit my wide nail bed. While I don't think they look like my natural nails I do think they look as good as if I went and got a set of nails applied at the salon. I would definitely pick a set of these up if my nails were in bad shape and I had an important event to go to (hello wedding season).These claim to last for seven days so I will keep you updated on the wear time but they feel secure and have lasted through a full day of cleaning and cooking. * I  received this product complimentary for testing purposes.

I love a lip crayon, so I was excited to see NYX Chunky Dunk Hydrating Lippie in my GenBeauty swag bag. The color is sheer but you can build it up, and I found that it did keep my lips hydrated. This isn't a super long lasting lip crayon but I think this is a perfect lippie to throw in my purse since it is one of those my-lips-but-better colors. I am curious about the other colors NYX has in these Chunky Dunks any suggestions?

Check out all the goodies I got at the Generation Beauty event!!!

Deborah Lippmann Sarah Smile is a pink nude that I received in a holiday kit for Christmas. This polish is described as a sheer but to me it's too streaky to be sheer and I had to apply 3 coats. After I first applied it I wasn't happy with it but once it dried down the color evened out and it last longer than most polishes do on my nails. While I wouldn't repurchase this color again I do think it's a nice nude to have and would be a great bridal color. 

Influenster was kind enough to send me another VoxBox. This one is their Spring Fling VoxBox and inside there was -Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara -Kiss Everlasting French Nails -Peach Pie Car Freshener from the Labor Day Movie -Playtex Sport Fresh Balance -Nivea Skin Firming Hydrating Lotion  -Softlips Cube Look out for reviews of these lovely VoxBox products! *All items in were sent complimentary for review purposes from Influenster 

Inside my April Ipsy Bag was -Cailyn Tinted Lip Balm  -Rainbow Honey Nail Polish -Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Black Velvet -Dr Brant Microdermabrasion   -Such a Tease So Seductive Eye Lashes 

I have been making an effort to use up my perfume samples and I came across a sample of one of the newest Chloe fragrances Roses De Chloe. It was pretty much love at first whiff. The fragrance has notes of roses, bergamot, white musk, and amber. I am typically not a floral person, but the smell of this fragrance is so light and fresh, and you just smell like pretty bouquet of pink roses. I ended up buying this as an early b-day gift (to me, from me) and have been obsessed since it has arrived. I think this would make a great Mother's Day gift for any mother young or old.
