Anjali MD Laser Eye Lift creme - review

Hi ya Gorgeous,
Today I have a new product that I am trying and you may like it too if you like eye creams. I'm always on the hunt for something super moisturizing with lots of hydration and sunscreen!

This brand is called Anjali MD and the product is Laser Eye Lift Creme.

ANJALI MD Laser Eye Lift is a breakthrough scientific innovation with immediate results. Bags and puffiness are reduced within minutes, revealing a refreshed, younger appearance. A revolutionary, innovative formula combines Neurotransmitters, Energized Minerals, SNAP-8, Glycosaminoglycans and Hyaluronic Acid to reduce bags and puffiness and improve eye wrinkles. A warming sensation ensues. Laser Lifting Complex™ lifts and tightens fatigued skin, while collagen and the molecular matrix rebuild for long-term visible results. Eyes immediately appear refreshed, rested and younger.

Something to note, this has this plastic applicator piece that is the "belle" of this ball - but I find it funky. And I'm not sure it's clean or how to clean it after use and I am concerned about re-applying something that may have a cootie.

I've been using it for a week now and I'm not seeing a wow factor,  but I do like it. So I'm going to see the bottle through and pinch me so I remember to do a before and after photo!

Oh yeah baby! We are back from an amazing whirlwind 48 hours of fun filled weekend and boy are my eyes ever in need of some visine and Obagi Elastiderm.

Now more about Elastiderm: it's light, absorbs readily into the skin, makes the fine lines plump and makeup: both liquid and mineral wear well over it. So, so far it's been a win win situation!

Snappy Ways to Look Hot In the Heat

Put yourself together in no time with these warm-weather makeup and hair tips

Experts share tricks of the trade on how to get ready quick and look amazing by using the best multi-functional products. Get tricks

There is just so much fun stuff going on with the blog this month, I love it! (*and you too!) There is also so much going on in the greater Phoenix area. Seems everyone plans an event this time of year to get it in before it gets too hot to go outside.

I am a huge fan of the Elizabeth Grant eye patches: the serum soaked cottom patches that rest on your orbital bone while the vitamin C or collagen serum seeps into your skin! Though I just recently tried the Biocollasis serum for day and night, along with a lip and eye treatment.

It seems that the Elizabeth Grant line is just as good in fact a bit better than other lines sold for more cost in department stores, plus it's more effective in treating the skin. I know I like what I have tried and the website is packed with information! Go see more at www.elizabethgrant.com and if you are wondering where to start in the line, go for the eye patches!

I'll keep you tuned on how the skin care performs for me, but so far I like the light serum texture, virtually no scent, readily absorbs into skin, and just feels good! Stay tuned!

**April is Military Appreciation month! If you are an active duty soldier in any branch of the military, make a comment on where you are stationed, what rank and why you serve and the blog will send you a free appreciation product! Why? Because we love you and want to thank you!**

Wondering what she does to look so good? We found out her secrets to maintaining a flawless face, and we give you full permission to rip them off. See habits

Hello my gorgeous friend! I love history and this eye creme that I tried is an amazing piece of history. Visit the website and read the history of how the formulation for it started!

It arrived in sumptuous packaging, which lately with all the reductions and cut backs, it was refreshing to get something luxurious.  The aroma of the creme is light, and butter sweet not floral sweet. It has a firm texture and holds onto the skin as it penetrates.

True, this is not "approved" on my HCG diet, but for the sake of science, I forgo protocol for but a moment!

I enjoyed it and recommend you check out the website to learn more about the healing properties found in this wee jar of eye therapy creme. It's so perfect for winter skin!  Below is a little information from their website, but why read it here, go get the full story on the site!

http://www.fresh.com/skincare/skincare-ancienne

CRÈME ANCIENNE EYE CREAM is the ultimate in age-delay for the delicate eye area. It is proven to visibly reduce the signs of aging, diminish puffiness and under-eye circles, and provide supreme nourishment.
Inspired by the world’s first cream of the 2nd century A.D, this lightweight formula is hand-blended in a European monastery to preserve its fragile ingredients and rich history.

Experience the proven results*:

- 100% of those tested reported a hydrating and nourishing effect

- 94% felt crows feet were less noticeable, skin felt softer, and the eye area was revitalized.

- 90% noticed a soothing effect

You know I think it's so soothing because it is monk made. Monks make alot things turns out: cheese, wine, eye cream and beer.

And I quote Dogfish Lou of the Dogfish Head Craft Brewery, "there are only six beers in the world made by monks. Westmale,Westvletaran,Achel,Rochefort,Orval, and Chimay.".

The Chimay is light and lovely, try some while tapping onto your delicate eye skin some fresh creme ancienne!

So I got this sample of this ulta light creamy textured gel as I was beginning the HCG diet. I was so excited because I thought it was "approved" for the protocol.

Well, according to Dr. Simeons, the only thing "approved" is mineral oil or petroleum jelly in limited use in extreme cases of dryness.

I tried it and loved it. First, it comes in a tube with a nib at the end similiar to a lip gloss. Second it is so lightweight and hydrating that it absorbed right into my eye skin.

Hello friends! My Arizona weather is gorgeous, no Punxatawney Phil here! So it's a perfect time to try out some new makeup and perfect the look you want for your Valentines Day date.

I just received some samples from http://www.aromaleigh.com/ and what a gem! Did you know that they send a dozen or so samples of other colors with each order?

So the photo of me is a "test shot" of the makeup and please forgive my photo! I am not sure if it's me, the camera or what? But the photo doesn't show the true deep pigments of what I"m wearing. And here's the breakdown of what you are looking at:

My skin is covered in Noah's Naturals anti-aging serum, La Roche Posay Anthelios spf 25 creme, my eyes are treated in DermaScyne Gone in 60 Seconds (stay tuned! it's the giveaway for today!)
Foundation: Arbonne Line Defiance 6N
*Aromaleigh L'Orchidee Seed Pearl loose mineral shadow on brow bone, through corner of nose/tear duct
*Aromaleigh En Pointe Pique loose mineral shadow all over the lid to the crease
The bottom lid is lined with wet En Pointe Pique. Remember to take the shadow out of the pot before dipping a wet brush into it, otherwise you will ruin the pot of product.
Mascara: L'Oreal Telescopic in black
Brows are black shadow
*Aromaleigh L'Orchidee Seed Pearl shadow is highlighting the top of my cheekbones, and sides of jaw
Blush: Arbonne Glow
Powder: Larenim Mineral Compact in Lt. Med
N.Y.C. #954 lip liner (nude color)
*Aromaleigh L'Orchidee Seed Pearl/En Pointe Pique mixed into lip liner. I applied the Pique to the outside corners of my mouth half way up, then filled in the top center ( bow) of my upper lip and bottom lower center of the lip with the Seed Pearl color.
I finish the look with Aromaleigh aromatherapy lip balm in pink grapefruit. 
If you try any of their products try this because there is no animal testing, and this is a lovely lip balm.

The Socializer AM/PM: Elizabeth Grant does it again!

Step-by-Step Guide to Gorgeous Model Hair

Wish you had commercial-worthy hair? It's possible with these secrets

Bye-bye, breakage; see ya, flyaway strands; so long, dull and lackluster hair. Here are 12 fabulous, fresh and easy-to-follow tips for getting and maintaining healthy, soft, shiny and strong hair. See secrets

I'm a big fan of the Elizabeth Grant eye patches that come in individually wrapped packages. The Biocollasis complex, Collagen Firming and Vitamin C patches kept me looking fresh and rested through the intense weather while working the Barrett Jackson car auction in Scottsdale.
Phew! Now the new item from Elizabeth Grant is part makeup party skin care: The Socializer comes as a two part pen system. One is for the morning beauty routine and one for the evening.

This will appear similiar to YSL and Dior's eye brightening pens, heck, even Avon makes a good pen type eye luminizer product. Though what's different about the Socializer is that it is geared towards eye skin protection and treatment with a beauty bonus to it.

I've been using my sample for several days now and love it!

To use, simply click the button on the bottom of the eye pen til you see a dollop of product come out of the brush. Then using the brush apply under the eye in a sweeping motion and use your ring finger to gently pat the product in.

I've used it alone, under and over my foundation. Plus, I put it on my eye lids to see if they would puff up and swell. Nope. No side effects. Just lovely luminous skin.

Try some! Learn more at http://www.elizabethgrant.com

p.s. to keep the brush clean, I run it, bristles pointing down under hot water and wipe with a towel, snap the cap back on and store with bristles down. :)

Elizabeth Grant's Vitamin C eye pads...whoa!

12 Major Hair and Skin Issues -- Solved!

Get help for everything from cystic acne, hair breakage, psoriasis and more

Sure, we all get the occasional breakout or dry patch of skin, but if you're suffering from a more serious hair or skin issue then you need serious help. That's why we asked Dr. Heidi Waldorf, director of Laser and Cosmetic Dermatology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, Arielle N. B. Kauvar, M.D., director of New York Laser & Skin Care, Jerry Teuschler, Principal Scientist for Proctor and Gamble Beauty and Grooming Science, and Head & Shoulders hairstylist Ryan Trygstad to weigh in. They gave advice for the big issues facing TotalBeauty.com readers, so read on for relief from your hair and skin woes. See issues

Get ready to order something today to have on hand for travel, special events, in case of "recovery time", photos and in my opinion, every day!

I love things that give results fast and that's what I found in the Elizabeth Grant's Vitamin C Eye Pad. I had a last minute photo shoot at the Arizona State Fair on Saturday night. That was after I ran outside, toddler'ed all day, worked and then didn't drink enough water. So the heat and dehydration left me looking less that " ready for my close up Mr. DeMille".

I had just received this sample included in the White Tea experiment. You just open the pouch, and it's got a juicy serum with a light texture on a non adhesive eye patch. The emulsion keeps it stuck to your skin. I let them sit for fifteen minutes while I did my eye makeup and hair around them...and then I gently patted the solution in and peeled away the patch.

All the skin was smooth, fine lines were gone and my eyes looked great!

The patch has vitamin c to ward off free radicals and moisturize, chamomile to soothe and Torricelum to continue moisturization. The Torricelum is an exclusive moisturizing compound exclusive to Elizabeth Grant.

Since they are individually wrapped, these are easy to put in a purse, a travel bag, a diaper bag or your back pocket for the truly jet set. Enjoy and get yours at www.elizabethgrant.com

Below is the picture of me on set at in the Pit at the Figure 8 race Saturday night in the Grandstand of the Arizona State Fair. If you haven't been out to the Fair yet, it's time to go! Remember, Wednesday is $1 ride day! http://www.azstatefair.com

Relastin: a functional elastin for firmer, tighter, more youthful

Top 10 Hottest-Guy Cities

We so hope you single gals out there live in one of these U.S. towns, if not, call the movers -- stat!

Sure, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and one woman's George Clooney is another's Steve Buscemi. But there are SOME things that all (or almost all) of us look for in a mate. According to evolutionary psychologist David Buss, Ph.D., women desire "intelligence, good health, emotional stability, ambition and industriousness, and good financial prospects." We used these factors to find out where the hotties live. Do you live in one of these sexy-guy cities? See cities

http://www.relastin.com/
I love the tag line for this product: go ahead — laugh. smile. pucker up. spring back!
I also enjoy the fact that Martha Stewart Living magazine gave it an award along with Allure magazine.
So it's off to a good start. I did a seven day challenge with the product in what they call a "snap test". Which is a test used to determine the number of seconds it took for t he skin to snap back to baseline after being pulled a specified distrance from the skin. Essentially, grab your jowl, pull it back and let it lfy with a timer on. The Relastin product out snapped the leading copper peptide product.

Well, in my own home test, there wasn't a lot of skin to snap test, but I did feel a tightening and firmer look to my skin, even under foundation. I used three different types of foundation: mineral compact by Larenim, liquid Line Defiance by Arbonne and aerosol spray ERA Face by Classified Cosmetics. Each applied smoother and wore well through out the day.

The weather here in Arizona has been changing and I've been feeling more dry lately. I'm curious if I would be an Ultra Emollient Relastin customer vs. just a regular Relastin customer? Either way, I enjoyed the product and can recommend it to those of you who like a little more pep in their product.

Relastin promotes the formation of elastin. it's the protein that makes skin spring right back into place. So do some serious expressions with your own tub of Relastin. Get yours online at http://www.relastin.com/

Great hairstyles! Before you click through the beauty bubble, I have a few things to share:

First: NEUTROGENA Ageless Restoratives Instant Eye Reviver and de-puff an eye in no time! I think my eyes are puffy from sleeping with the fan on, oh, and the general lack of sleep?

This is the purple box, in the Ageless Restoratives product line from Neutrogena. It has a rollerball applicator which feels cool to the touch when you put it on your eye. Simple squeeze a bit forward from the bottom of the tube, just like toothpaste and then use the rollerball to blend the product around the eye area.

Finish by lightly patting the product in to the skin, and wiping off the rollerball. It helps eyes look more awake and is very lightweight. It's full of good stuff like lipids, Tetrol-E and BioDynes which is what takes care of the under eye puffiness.

It is non greasy, non irritating and non comedogenic! Go get some!

Want some free stuff?

For all you Arizona brides, I have a set of Arizona Bridal Week V.I.B. passes (which stands for very important bride) to giveaway! Just email me your name and contact info to mail the pass to along with a Neutrogena product name and toot sweet this $75 ticket is yours!
