Stressed skin? LOVE THESE PRODUCTS!!

I believe that there are multiple products in this line for EVERYONE! My clients ask for recommendations on skin care all the time.  This line is ALWAYS a go-to suggestion for me... Skyn Iceland. It used to be more prevalent in Sephora stores, but it seems that it's easier to purchase through their website these days.




Skyn Iceland is all about de-stressing your skin (in a no parabens, sulfates, mineral oil, petroleum, phthalates, formaldehyde or paraffin sort of way).  Take a look at the chart they've created, as it should definitely shed some light to whatever skin issues you're having today, this month, year, lifetime, etc.

CHART, FOOL!

A few of the products in this line that I have been known to go ga-ga for are the Glacial Cleansing Cloths (best makeup removing wipes I've ever used btw), the Glacial Face Wash (a little bit goes a long way AND it could also be used as shaving cream), and the Antidote Daily Lotion (makes my face feel as fresh as a tic tac... yes, really).



I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you take a gander at the Skyn Iceland website ASAP.  I'd find it hard to believe that anyone would be disappointed in the products.  I can't wait to restock my supply!

FALSE ADVERTISING!!

THESE MASCARA COMMERCIALS KILL ME!!!! 

I just saw one that claims you don't need false eye lashes if you wear it... meanwhile ALL of the models so clearly HAVE FALSE LASHES ON!!!! AMAZING!!

Folks, here is the name of the game.  Don't go by the flashy commercials you see on TV.  If you're really looking for a good mascara, ask real people! My personal favorite is the newest from Laura Mercier, Full Blown Volume ($24). It's nourishing, very black, and doesn't clump!! I layer mine a TON and it makes my lashes look awesome.

What's your favorite mascara and why?
