CARA Moisturizer Lotion from Mehron - First Impression Friday

TGIF!
Hi ya Gorgeous!

Who else is ready for the weekend? The very windy, cold, rainy weekend? No matter around here - we are so thankful for the weekend when we do not have to make the very long, very heinous commute.

Now, today is "First Impression Friday"  and I have just received a sample of Mehron's CARA Moisturizer Lotion.

I have been using Mehron makeup for decades - literally - drawing, painting, schmearing, their products on clients for the past 20 years.

I have never tried the skincare until now. First impression?  I'm not wowed. It has a very strong scent in my opinion. It reminds me a lot of LORAC's moisturizer in a glass bottle. I do like the packaging - it comes in it's own velveteen textured carrying bag, but that isn't really necessary, is it?

It is light weight on the skin, absorbs well, my liquid makeup wore well over it and after a few hours, I did not notice that my skin was dry or I needed an atomizer spritz of hydration.




If I had to pick yes or no to win a million dollars - I would say no, I don't like this enough to buy it.
But!

If you like scented light weight lotions, this could be for you.  Use this link to get your own glass bottle of CARA by Mehron for $24.95

CARA™ Moisturizer helps to leave skin feeling truly soft while reducing the surface signs of aging.

Brazilian Peel: acai/glycolic/anti-aging

And the 2010 Emmy for Best Makeup Goes To …

See which celebrity we think rocked the best makeup look this year

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article Amid all the glammed up starlets, Julie Bowen's deep, smoky eye was the winner in our book. Follow these steps to get her look. See steps

Oooohhh! Look at the goodies. Now the box does come with 4 treatements, though I have officially used two...yes with in 48 hours of each other. Something about reading instructions gives me a challenge?
This is supposed to be used once a week for four weeks, and I can say that on my first try I loved it!

First it gets warm and tingly on the skin and slides on the skin with easy spreadability.

Next you let it set for 10 minutes; no more-no less.

Rinse with cool water and enjoy your newly softer, clearer, smaller pores and radiant skin. I'm super lovin' it! Here are some details from their website and how you can get it!

Personally, I am a big fan of the Village Tea Co. flavor "cherry me bloom rooibos with acai" especially since you can get it in a wee portable tin to take on set!

Alas, it isn't hot tea sipping weather any longer in the greater Phoenix area: we are back to the heat vs. last week's tornado warnings. Below are some celebrity quotes of who is enjoying what! If you are in a warm area like me, do an iced tea!

Melinda McGraw shined at the premiere party for her new film Skateland at The 2010 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The Mad Men star has been drinking Village Tea Company's "Gentle Organic Lemon Ginger" Tea throughout the festival to stay warm and to keep her skin hydrated.

She reports, "I feel so much healthier drinking this when everyone else is downing vodka. I can't wait for the hot, lemony taste, and I love, love, love the beautiful loose leaves!" Available at VillageTeaCo.com for 15.95 for about 40 servings.

Jared Harris, star of Mad Men, stopped by the Gibson Gifting Suite with his girlfriend and director Nathaniel Parker for a hot cup of Gentle Organic Lemon Ginger Tea. Jared and his girlfriend are huge fans of the Royal English Breakfast blend as well – go figure... they’re British!
