My Latest Product Obsessions: May 2011

I’m back with another installment of products that are currently rocking my world. These are those products that standout above the rest, ‘WOW’ me right from the start, deliver impressive tangible results and most importantly that I find myself turning to again and again. I hope you likie as much as I do!

Kate Somerville Clinic-to-Go Resurfacing Peel Pads

Another totally impressive transformative product by the brilliant and beautiful Kate Somerville. This is a set of 16 single-use buffing pads with lactic acid, vitamin C, collagen, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients  that provide a professional-strength treatment peel in the comfort of your own home. These pads promote cell turnover, reduce the appearance of pores, fine lines, and acne scarring and brighten the complexion. These little pads pack a potent but gentle punch and I love how they refresh and smooth my skin. Over time it has made my pores smaller and my complexion brighter. Such a treat to have the magic of Kate at home!

Sanitas Topical CThis is a magical little moisturizer that nourishes, heals and softens the skin. It contains high concentrations of Vitamin C that has been specially designed to penetrate deeply into the skin and help diminish fine lines and wrinkles. It also accelerates the healing of burns, scars, chapped lips and abrasions. This is my new go to cure-all-in-a-tube and I have been taking it everywhere with me and using it for irritations, dryness, and multi-purpose healing. It is gentle, soothing and really works! This is definitely a new fav!

Miracle Skin Transformer Treat & Conceal

You have heard me RAVE about Miracle Skin Transformer before, one of my all time favorite products, well guess what? They have come out with another amazing product that is clearly destined for greatness. MST Treat & Conceal is a next-generation 3 in 1 concealer with a proprietary blend of ingredients designed to correct, protect and transform the look of eyes and skin imperfections. This innovative product minimizes the appearance of fine lines, reduces the look of dark circles and puffiness, firms the eye area, and covers and heals age spots, blemishes and surface redness. Like the original MST, this is another miraculous product that changes the look of your skin imperfections in an instant. I put the tiniest amount over my skin flaws and they immediately disappear, and as an added bonus it also treats the aging of the skin too. AMAZING!

Pure Propolis Toothpaste

This is an all natural organic Brazilian Propolis & Tea Tree Oil toothpaste created by the founder of Epicuren skincare products. It is an anti-viral, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and an anti-inflammatory mouth treatment product that heals sore gums, fights infection, cleans teeth, freshens breath, and helps to control plaque. This is one of those products I wasn’t quite sure about at first and now I totally LOVE it! I don’t typically review toothpaste, but this product was so impressive that I just had to share it. It is like a deep cleanse for your mouth and teeth (although it doesn’t foam much). I use it when my mouth is feeling gunky and it totally gets rid of that dirty feeling and wakes up my mouth. Totally unique and different!

Wild Beauty Lavender Vanilla Shea Butter Hand Cream

I love discovering fabulous products from indie beauty brands because is it’s good for our environment and I feel good about supporting local talent! I recently discovered a lovely local artisanal bath and body product line called Wild Beauty and fell in love with their addictive lavender vanilla shea hand cream. This is a wonderfully yummy fluffy hand cream that penetrates instantly and has a delightful blend of relaxing lavender with just the right amount of warm vanilla, the combo is heavenly! It is a beautifully handmade product and I enjoy using it every night before bed. 

Lather Bamboo Lemongrass Foaming Body ScrubI am insanely addicted to this cult favorite scrub from Lather! This innovative body scrub is made out of powdered bamboo, fruit extracts, sugar cane and a refreshing blend of essential oils. I think what is most impressive is that it exfoliates in two ways: the bamboo provides a physical exfoliation on the surface of the skin and the natural  fruit acids offer more of a chemical exfoliation that penetrates deeper into the skin. This is one of the best scrubs I have ever used! I love the fresh lemongrass smell, the intensity of exfoliation, the ability to control the exfoliation (and lack of an oily residue in my shower), the texture, the foaming action and most importantly how soft and smooth my skin feels after I use it. It’s like a spa treatment at home and I will be using this all summer to prep for my self tanning sessions.

    If this product could only be available here on my place then it will a lot more great and absolutely will purchased one that will effectively eradicate marks on my face. You were right about your notion that beauty regimen can drive you seriously insane and not just that it also involves your budget.
