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

Murad Hybrids: Soothing Skin, Lip and Cuticle Care-a review for you

The Anti-Aging Ingredient You've Been Missing

Did you know your SPF 50 isn't enough to prevent premature aging? Turns out there's an even better ingredient you're missing out on: antioxidants

This is a TotalBeauty.com healthy skin article Wearing sunscreen has been touted as the best way to prevent premature aging, but new research shows that SPF isn't enough to protect your skin from sun damage. Leading dermatologists are now recommending wearing an antioxidant serum for the ultimate sun protection. See how to best protect your skin now. Get tips

Hello Gorgeous! Okay-this has got to be one of the best and unique products I have tried lately.

 The Murad Sooth Skin, Lip and Cuticle Care is part pen, part lip balm, part cuticle oil and all amazing. Now, as you know, I'm not one to read instructions. So I open the box, pull out the pen, crank it a few times to get the ooze flowing.

I use the applicator to apply it, then pop the cap on and use the rubber slant tip nubby to massage the balm in to my lips. I do this several times across several days.

I love the results, my lips and the dry cracks from too much sun are filled in and my lip stick is wearing better.

After several days of this routine and enjoying it I visit the Murad website to get the photo and write this blog post. That's when I see the instructions that the rubber slant tip nubby is for pushing your cuticles back after having applied the balm!

Well, to each her own and whatever works, works! It retails for about $15.00 and some online websites have it for less and some beauty stores have it for more-buy where you feel comfortable.
