On my last trip to Sally Beauty, I found a display of Palladio makeup. Palladio has a full line of color cosmetics that are enriched with vitamins and minerals. Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm contains moisturizers and UV filters to provide long lasting color and protect your lips. It comes in eight different shades such as Berry, Bronze Pink, Rosey, and Cotton Candy. I chose the Berry color. It is very moisturizing and has a smooth texture. It gave my lips a hint of color that looked great! I also like the cute retro designed label. You can buy Palladio Herbal Tinted Lip Balm at Sally Beauty or online for about $4.00.

Swiss Miss Pick Me Up Hot Cocoa is a delicious way to start your morning or revive your afternoon. This rich chocolate beverage satisfies your sweet tooth while giving you as much caffeine as a cup of coffee (67mg). Swiss Miss Pick Me Up Hot Cocoa also provides 30% RDA of calcium and 25% RDA of Vitamin D. You can find this low fat treat at most grocery stores for around $2.25 per box.
The Sonia Kashuk Travel Blusher Brush is essential for your makeup bag. It is so much better than traditional brushes that make a mess of your purse. The matching cover prevents your brush from getting damaged or dirty. It also keeps your cosmetic bag from getting makeup deposited all over the inside. The bristles are super soft and distribute powder evenly on your face. I use this for pressed or loose powder, mineral makeup, blush, and bronzer. You can buy the Sonia Kashuk Travel Blusher Brush at Target for about $9.99.

I have never found an eyelash curler that I was happy with. I even tried the “fancy” Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler at Sephora and couldn’t understand what the fuss was all about. It worked exactly the same way as all the other eyelash curlers I’ve tried – mediocre at best. After seeing the e.l.f. Mechanical Eye Lash Curler in many different beauty magazines, I had to try it for myself. It has a “special curved design” that supposedly works on all eye shapes. Consequently, I was able to curl all of my eyelashes at the same time instead of working in sections. It has a silicone rubber pad that allows your lashes to curl easily and evenly. The plastic covered handles are very comfortable and give you a steady grip. It only takes a few seconds of moderate pressure to have beautifully curled lashes that last all day. My eyes look more awake and my eyelashes look longer. The e.l.f. Mechanical Eyelash Curler works better than any eyelash curler that I have ever tried. The amazing part is that it only costs about $1.00 at most drug and retail stores! This is a must-have product at a super price!

I have tried many different ways to get cat hair off of the furniture. Most of the products marketed for pet hair clean up don’t work very well. However, the Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair actually works. You just slide it side to side across the area that you are cleaning. You can use it on many fabric surfaces like couches, pillows, and car interiors. This is so easy that you could make your kids do it! The pet hair gets picked up by rollers and gets trapped inside the Fabric Sweeper. When it gets full, you just throw it away. You can buy a Pledge Fabric Sweeper for Pet Hair for about $5.00 at most grocery and retail stores.
L’Oreal Paris Visible Lift® Line-Minimizing & Tone-Enhancing Concealer is a great combination product to add to your beauty routine. This creamy concealer has a smooth texture and blends easily into the skin. It hides dark circles, minimizes puffiness, and adds radiance to the eye area. It contains powerful ingredients such as Hyaluronic, Pro-Retinol A, and Pro-Xylane™ to help reverse the signs of aging. My brother said I look younger since I have been using it. One of my favorite things about it is that it contains SPF 20 sunscreen to protect the sensitive eye area. You can also use this product to cover up blemishes. L’Oreal Paris Visible Lift Concealer comes in 6 different colors and costs about $9.00 at most drug and retail stores.

I have had a lot of difficulty finding a face powder at drug and retail stores that matches my complexion. I usually have to buy expensive department store makeup to get the right color. I decided to try Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Translucent Oil Control Powder. The Neutrogena product website claims that it “works on almost all skin tones”. This powder gave me a shine-free finish that was almost invisible. The consistency was very fine and blended nicely into my skin. This product looks very natural and is designed for people that only need light coverage. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Blends Powder comes in three different varieties: Translucent Oil-Control Powder, Natural Radiance Bronzer, and Sheer Highlighting Blush. It is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. You can buy it at most drug and retail stores for about $10.00.
