My Fav Products Of 2011

After a long year of testing, reviews, shopping, and being introduced to stuff I would've never tried. Here is a list of some of my favs of 2011 that constant of beauty and everyday must haves. Now, there are a few repeats from 2010 but that goes to show that I must have and can't live without them. Let's begin!


I've heard so much about this machine and was not trying to believe the "Hype" until I had some ladies in a private group (EMJ) highly recommend it. In September I saw posted on a coupon site this amazing deal at Staples for the Keurig B40 that normally goes for $119.99 on sale for $69.99 w/coupon of $10.00 off bring it to $59.99. After help from a great GM in Lyndhurst, NJ he was able to find a machine for me and put it on hold. Well, that night changed my coffee experience forever.
Kcups are what holds the coffee grounds for an individual cup of coffee, teas, and hot chocolate.This thing is so convenient and life saving (being a new mom again). You can have a different cup of fresh coffee every time and none to go to waste. Keurig $98 & up. *Staples Shop At Home 4% cash back at Staples.

Other items that are not beauty related that made the list.

• IPad 1 & 2 $300 & up
• IRobot Roomba $299 & up

Need I say more? That's right it's on my list again for the second year in a row. I swear by this machine that has changed my life. I received this as an early Xmas gift from my Peanut (Olive Juice). The set came with a Cherry Blossom Clarisonic Plus and Bliss skin care w/ 3 brush heads.  Clarisonic Plus $216.48 *QVC Ebates & Shop At Home 6% cash back now.

Other beauty machine items that made the cut.

• Gigi Wax Machine $34.99 *Ebates 6% cash back Shop At Home 7% cash back
• Dinair Airbrush System $29.99 & up 
• Nume Flat Iron $115 & up Use code GLAM2GO good until 3/14/2012
• Tarina Tarantino Blow Dryer $170

Tinted lip balm that was unveil late last year. Convenient and moisturizing. Fav color Richer Raisin. Clinique Chubby Stick $15 *Sephora Ebates 8% and Shop At Home 9%.

Makeup & nail products that also made the list.

• Stila Kajal Eyeliner $18 *Ebates 6% cash back & Shop At Home 6% cash back

• MUFE Lashes $15

I always tell my clients that without good skin care their makeup won't look the best it can look. I take it very serious since I've been suffering from adult acne since I was 23 and I think now after 10 years or so (no adding up to figure my age please) I have gotten control of it. With the help of my great dermatologist (TY Mr. & Mrs. Dr. Horn) and a great skin care routine I'm happy with the results. YAY! Here are a few of my favs of 2011.
Being a women of color (Latina) and dealing with adult acne I've had to deal with the effects of acne scars. Clinique's Even Better Clinical is really amazing. This stuff made me skin do a 180 and made it look better then when I was a teenager. Really broke down my acne scars and even out my skin tone. It's a bit of an investment but your skin deserves it. It is the largest organ on your body. Clinique's Even Better Clinical $49.50 & up. *Ebates 6% cash back

• Bliss Triple Oxygen + C Cream $54 *Ebates 4% cash back
• Philosophy Oxygen Peel $50 *Ebates 5% cash back
• The Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion $20 *Ebates 5% cash back US & Canada 6%
• The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner $11 *Ebates 5% cash back US & Canada 6%
• Cetaphil Face & Skin Cleanser $7.49 & up 
• Loreal Age Perfect Golden Balm $19.99 BOGO 50%
• Lush Ultra Bland $15.95 & up 
• Shiseido 'Future Solution' Total Revitalizing Cream $230 *Ebates 5% cash back Shop At Home 7% cash back

• Dior 'Capture Totale Eyes Essential' Eye Zone Boosting Super Serum $70 

  
  
   That it! Trust me there is a lot more I can add but I'll be here forever and you don't want to be here wasting away your New Years Eve. But I would love to hear from you and what's your "FAVS" of this year or all the time must have in your life

Thanks to all my followers and supporters for a great year and looking forward to 2012! xoxo

Beauty Tip Of The week June 28-July 2, 2010

I know I haven't done this in sometime but will start adding it from now on. I Promise! The tip of the week is........ It' summer and time to change your foundation. Your outdoors more and enjoying the weather and what happens? You tan and you sweat. Change your foundation to a darker color and lighter formula or a tinted moisturizer is always good. If you tan a little bit and your current foundation is still usable then add a little bronzer. Make sure to use sun block and makeup items with at least SPF15. Have a great and safe summer!


Recommendation: High Price.  Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 and they carry oil free. Low Price. Clinique Almost Makeup with SPF 15. Bronzers: High Price. I like  Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess and Low Price. ELF Studio Bronzer

Money saving tip: You can make your own tinted moisturizer by mixing some of your foundation and a little of your fav lite moisturizer.
