Gossip Girl Birchbox Review & Vlog

by Lisa on May 18th, 2012

I’m a little late posting this, but here is the reveal from when I opened my Gossip Girl Birchbox this month.

As I state in the video, they sent some really great products. BUT, I’m not certain what said products really had to do with Gossip Girl. It seemed like more of a marketing ploy than anything else because while they sent some fab brands, none of them really had that “oooh, upper east side elite” feel to them that I was expecting.

That said, it was one of the best boxes I’ve received from Birchbox thus far.

Beauty Reviewed: Dermagist Eye Revolution Gel

by Megan on May 18th, 2012

I’m at that age now where I need to start worrying about lines and wrinkles. Ugh, getting old sucks sometimes! I remember being a kid and thinking, “I’m never getting old.” Sigh. With that being said, I had the pleasure of trying Dermagist Eye Revolution Gel. While my under eye cirlces aren’t as bad as those pictured, I still have some puffiness going on. I also have really sensitive eyes, so I was slightly worried about how I would do with this stuff, but I gave it a shot!

The ingredients in the Eye Revoulution Gel are: Aqua, dimethicone, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), palmitoyl oligopeptide (and) palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (Haloxyl), hesperidin methyl chalcone (and) dipeptide-2 (and) palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 (Eyeliss), Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture (Stem Cells) Extract, acrylates copolymer, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol. Honestly, these are like a foreign language to me, all I know is, to date, I haven’t had any sort of reaction to the product or ingredients. Plus one in my book! (Seriously, my eyes are super sensitive that usually mascara causes them to water).

I’ve been using this product for a little over a week now and have definitely noticed that the puffiness has gone down. Luckily (and I should say thankfully!) wrinkles aren’t a huge issue yet, so I haven’t really noticed any sort of difference in that regard. One downside though is that this stuff tends to take a little while to dry. I usually have a shine under my eye for a good few minutes, which is fine, but I like to wait until the very last minute to get ready to run out the door. However, once I throw my makeup on, I can’t even tell anymore.

Another downside? This stuff is pricey at $99. But, I do have a way to provide you all with 10% off! Just click here and use the code RFR826 to apply 10% to your order. Hey, every dollar counts folks!

Now, I can’t speak for the other products on the site, but I can tell you that so far I am pleased with the Eye Revolution Gel. I’m going to continue to use it and I will let you all know if my opinion changes, or stays the same.

Do you have puffiness under your eyes? What do you use to make the puffiness go away? I’d love to hear your finds!

SPANX® Hi-Rise Hide & Sleek® Body Smoother Plus - Nude

 

If ever there was a sexy image to start off your Friday morning, the above is it, am I right? ;)

There’s absolutely nothing sexy about shapewear, but depending on what you’re wearing it can be a necessity. The biggest shapewear brand is SPANX, and today Zulily has a HUGE SPANX sale that’s just opened up.

You’ll find everything from the SPANX Hi-Rise Hide & Sleek Body Smoother Plus above {normally $72, Zulily has it for $36.99} to swimwear, bras, panties, tank tops, and more.

This sale just opened, but like most SPANX sales, I expect many items to start selling out quickly. Head over now for the best selection! {The last time I posted about a SPANX Swimwear Sale at Zulily, everything was sold out by noon!}
