Jane Iredale Glow Time® Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream - What Your Busy Easter Weekend Needs!

Hi ya Gorgeous!
Oh girl - these days - these days though! It's been cray cray around here! I'm just trying to get these Passover Brunch plans and Easter baskets made yet life has been coming at me pretty fast. Too fast!



Girl, I don't even have time to drink a glass of wine! Now that's serious!




Ok, but what I do have is just a few minutes to get ready in the morning and the Arizona sun is already back - and it's hot.

I'm using my samples from Jane Iredale, thank you Jane - and this BB creme is just about everything a busy mom needs for the final run to the end of school and then the beginning of summer vacation.


Now, it's full coverage meaning a great natural barrier for sun protection, it's reef safe, and made with a natural mineral that adjusts to your skin tone - for real!  I was so surprised! It needs a few minutes to adjust on the skin.  Meaning, apply this first or be sure you leave time in your morning beauty routine to apply and give it several minutes, like 5, to adjust on your face.

It's $48 of healthy skin care based beauty in a BB creme that can wear for hours - ask me how I know - and it's safe for use on psoriasis skin or those with a natural red tone/pigment to the skin - it does not turn red - it adjusts to your melanin level.

Overall, it's just good stuff. Moms, busy career ladies, sporty college gals and high schoolers who need coverage, sun protection and a great face of makeup, you just may love this Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream from Jane Iredale! Get it online or at Nordstroms.

Here are some details from the Jane Iredale website:
  • Contains SPF 25 or SPF 17* broad spectrum (UVA/UVB) sun protection.*
  • Water resistant to 40 minutes.
  • Minimizes the appearance of pores and helps disguise fine lines and wrinkles.  
  • Smoothes and brightens skin.  
  • Non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, sensitivity tested, clinically tested, dermatologist tested.
* SPF 25 - shades: BB1, BB3, BB5, BB6, BB7 and BB8
SPF 17 - shades: BB9, BB11 and BB12


Next, I also got a sample of the D2O Hydration Spray and I love it!  I'm gonna have to get another one of these after my sample runs out! In general, I swear by having spray atomizers of mineral water or toner waters close by because a light spritz to your face at any time of the day - is a perfect way to give a blast of hydration to skin, set makeup, refresh makeup and give you a fast fresh look.



This Jane Iredale D2O hydration spray is EcoCertified safe for the reefs and environment. It has price ranges from $30-$67.  It's available on the Jane Iredale website and at Nordstroms.

  • A facial spritz based on Ylang Ylang that helps to hydrate and plump skin cells, and contains ingredients to calm and protect the skin.
  • Sets minerals for a long lasting, smooth finish.
  • A must for post-laser.
  • Use to wet brushes and turn powder eye shadows into eyeliner.

I say this is a staple for your spring and summer beauty bags- and for those going to Coachella  - you will want this in your beauty routine!

Supergoop! City sunscreen serum spf 30_ what the crew of Star Trek Enterprise use for space travel and Klingon battle

So Gorgeous,
You know, it's my supreme opinion that Supergoop! spf 30 City Sunscreen Serum is what the crew of the Star Trek Enterprise use for their space exploration.

I love, love ,love the movie and it's odd, but I have seen the movie several times. Some to watch and some to look and a bit to see what is going on frame by frame.
 Supergoop! - SPF 30+ City Sunscreen Serum With Uniprotect PT-3

Do you do that too? See a movie more than once in the theatre so the second time ( or maybe third and fourth) you can look at the movie?

Nonetheless, I love the Supergoop! sunscreen and now more so than before. Why?

Because the first time I tried the product it was a wee wipe. Which was nice, and did a lovely job of slathering on some sunscreen, but it didn't quite do the job of covering all my exposed bits of skin.

This time, I have an entire 1.7 ounce tube that I can pump out as many squirts as I want of the broad spectrum spf 30 with uniprotect pt-3 as I want to!

Yes, this product as won an "Cosmetic Exectuive Women Indie Beauty Award 2013 winner award", but who cares about that. Let's talk about the nitty gritty does it work for me, my family and our on the go never know until the last minute what and where we are going lifestyle!


 For me, my family is in Arizona, but we drive to California, then we fly to Texas, only to jump back to Nevada and end up in Arizona with a bit of days before journeying back to Oregon and ending up in North Dakota. Which I like to call "God's Country"

Oh, it's also won the conde Nast Traveler 2013 Global Beauty Award. Why? Because it works while traveling with kids, crew and drive thru. Or at least, that's my experience.

I can say, so far, this tube has traveled just four states, and performed well, meaning it didn't streak, didn't irritate, didn't make kids cry and my foundation went on top of it and got camera ready in a matter of moments.

It's worth it in my humble opinion!
Buy yours at Sephora, Sephora.com, Barneys, or visit the Supergoop! website to learn more. You'll be glad you did.

Hello Gorgeous!
The summer is officially half over! I'm on my last vacation before getting back to the school year for Mancub and studio for work.

Now, what you see on the left is a wee sampling of some goodies from Sheer Cover.

What I enjoy most about Sheer Cover is that the finish is more matte on my skin than other mineral foundations.

I have two colors in foundations; Nude is the match to my skin tone and Bisque is the slightly darker tone that I use to contour with-or maybe if I get some tan at the river today I'll need it?

The blushes are a soft, silky texture, blend smoothly and come in a duo of pink/bronzer looks.
The biggest goodie is the small satin black drawstring bag that is filled with a mini kabuki brush and a two compartment container. The top half has two tones of concealer and the bottom is a sifter for putting your Sheer Cover mineral foundation in.

Perfect for travel, your purse, going from the gym to the office-or putting in your school locker!

I'm enjoying my Sheer Cover and you can learn more by catching it on QVC or by visiting the website at http://www.sheercover.com Remember-there is a 60 day money back guarantee-so if you try it and aren't thrilled-it's possible to return for a refund. Enjoy!

Hello and happy Sunday my friends! I'm not actually here writing, I'm most likely leaving church and heading over to the waterpark or the ballpark depending on what the Mancub wants to do today. Though, for sure, we are both covered in our favorite sunscreens for a day of play outdoors in the searing 112 degree heat of Arizona. Just remember; it's a dry heat. Usually.

Hello friends! I am always searching for a new, improved and better version of sunscreen given
the amount of time that my toddler and I spend outside in the searing Arizona sun. Remember, it's a dry heat!

The blog received this sample of Supergoop! spf 30+ faace and body lotion along with the stick that I actually have on my face.

Both products include the ingredients Parsol 1789 and parsol slx, and those are fancy names and terms for a really good sunprotection ingredient. Though I'm a touch old school in this area and love that the stick contains 5% of zinc and that is why you can see the thick white stripes on my cheeks and nose, forehead and chin too! If you remember the lifeguards of the Doris Day time and beach movies, you will have seen their noses covered with a thick lathering of zinc oxide which acts as a barrier. So it looks like Supergoop! combined the goodness of Zinc along with Parsol 1789 to make a great sunscreen.

I'm going out running now ( AZ temp 102!) and will test the sun and sweaty capability of the product.

Some notes about the product: it's a natural product, is geared for sensitive skin, is oil free, fragrance free, paraben free and does not test on animals. So, sounds pretty good? You can get it at Sephora and Giggle stores. (www.giggle.com ...what's a Giggle store?)

Enjoy your summer!

Just in time for your holiday weekend party! I have been playing with and testing the samples that I received from freshMinerals and really like the finish the liquid mineral tinted moisturizer dries down to.

The tube has a brush applicator on it, and give a great smooth application. I've put it on bare skin, and over my serums and both worked great. I have applied it over my 45 matte Anthelios sunscreen and got a good finish and I've also applied it then hosed my face down with the sport 50 spf in a can by Banana Boat. Okay, that wasn't the best look for going out unless it was for running and that's exactly what I used that for.

The freshMinerals tinted moisturizer wore for several hours and didn't break up on the skin, but more absorbed into it? No streaks, no creases and no funky dots. Just a more bare looking skin than before I applied it.

So, if you need an Arizona summer foundation that wears well, has protection, is moisturizing and if you get sweaty doesn't streak try it! Find more about at on their website and pick up at Costco warehouses, and Ulta. Enjoy!


Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 20 protects and replenishes your skin will adding a touch of tint, which adds enough color to smooth and even out skin tone. With an SPF 20, loaded with vitamin E and C, the freshMinerals tinted moisturizer protects against harmful UV rays while replenishing the health and natural glow of your skin

I love today's beauty bubble and I am also real, real fond of the Cellceuticals Photodefense spf 55 amazing day lotion! I clicked through and read the answers to the questions and honestly, I have left it on longer than what the box said too.

Okay, to continue in my sampling of sunscreens to find one that I like and can use everyday, under my makeup and in my work life as well as chasing after my son. The CellCeuticals is really light, super silky, absorbs fast and has a higher spf than the Anthelios. So it's pretty darn close to being the winner, now if it only dried matte like Anthelios by LaRoche Posay.

Well, the good news is that there are other amazing products in the Cellceuticals product line so you have alot to choose from.

We have had our first 100 degree day in Arizona, so if you haven't found a sunscreen you can trust yet, consider the Cellceuticals Photodefense. Order online by visiting the website http://www.cellceuticalsskincare.com Enjoy!
