      Thoughts-I use this during the day as my bronzer and even a blush if I am in a hurry.

The powder is buildable, so I don't have to worry about looking like I have caked on powder when I apply throughout the day. I love how long lasting and natural the finish is!I really like this bronzer and I must say it is comparable to NARS laguna bronzer. I love how it is comparable matte and waterproof!

      Benefit -They're Real! Mascara

       
      What it is:
      A jet-black mascara that lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts, and separates lashes for a spectacular "out-to-here" look.   


      What it does:
      This mascara features an exclusive brush specially designed to maximize the performance of the long-wearing, glossy formula revealing lashes you never knew you had! Staggered bristles grab close to the root, boosting length and volume beyond belief. The precision bristles on the custom-domed tip lift, define, and curl even your tiniest lashes. The end result is luxurious, silky lashes that won't smudge, clump, or dry out.

      Research results:
      -94% saw dramatic length and volume*
      -90% saw base-to-tip curl*
      -94% saw visible lift*
      -100% saw long-wearing results*
      -*Results observed in a consumer panel survey

       

      Thoughts-

      For years I have been a devoted Dior Mascara Junkie- switching back and forth between Black Out/Extase. I am now considering jumping ship!
      I was impressed not only by the bold black pigment of the mascara, but the lengthening and defining as well! I use one to two individual false eyelashes on the corner of each eye for an extra oomph effect for nights out, and this mascara blends the rest of my lashes in PERFECTLY with the false ones!
      Definitely worth it- and will purchase again.

      5 Ways to Soothe Sandal-Beaten Feet

      Sanitize

      Kick foot odor to the curb. According to N.Y.C. dermatologist Hilary Reich, washing feet daily with an antibacterial soap will fend off most odor-causing microbes. But refreshing with a spritz of The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray ($10, thebodyshop-usa.com) will deodorize and put pep in your step—literally. (Swapping your sandals every other day will also give odors time to dissipate.) 

      Sanitize 

      Soak

      Having tired, blistered toes is no walk on the beach. Slip off your sandals and give your feet some rest and relaxation with a ten minute soak. "After soaking, remove dead skin by scrubbing vigorously with a pumice stone," says New York dermatologist Dr. Jeannette Graf, who recommends Epsom salt soaps to her patients. We like the Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Sea Foam Foot Soak ($15; crabtree-evelyn.com), which is infused with skin-soothing seaweed and algae extract. 

      Soak 

      Scrub

      Just like it exfoliates your face, the Clarisonic Mia ($149; clarisonic.com) also scrubs away rough skin on your feet—just invest in a new brush head for $25. "It provides the best cleaning and allows your skin to absorb skin products more readily," says D.C.-based dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi. After exfoliating, use the Ped-Egg Foot File ($10; asseenontv.com) on heels to remove thick, cracked skin. 

      Scrub


      Soften

      Open-toed sandals are perfect for the summer, but that also means your feet get more exposure to the elements. "Put on a hydrating lotion to lock in moisture after removing dead skin," advises Jennifer Lynn, spa director at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Las Vegas. Butter London Powder Finish Foot Creme ($28; butterlondon.com) hydrates feet with shea and coco butter, but doesn't leave a too-slick finish. 
       
       
      Soften 
       
       

      Sleep

      Believe it or not, you can get pedicure-soft feet while you sleep. "Urea helps break down dead skin, so apply a cream containing the ingredient every night for a week, then slip on socks to hold in moisture," Tanzi advises. She recommends the Rea Lo 30 Cream. ($35; crownlaboratories.com).

      Benefit Honey" snap out of it" Face Scrub

      This is a wonderful scrub. Not only is a wonderful exfoliator, but it completly transformed my skin. It is so refreshing to use, I feel like I have new skin. I love the smell of this product (but it can become a little overpowering). The product is a little harsh, yet it claims to be suitable for all skin types. I personally would not recommend it for a sensitive skin but certainly would do for those with an oily skin type but stick to using Honey ... Snap Out of It only once or twice a week at most. I did not mind it but have tried better. The packaging is nice and simple and I like to see the product's blend through the clear bottle -

        
      A morning must for smooth skin. Use daily for unclogging pores, deep cleaning and gentle exfoliating. With triple milled almond paste, you can feel the vacuum cleaning begin immediately. Now remember...every morning!

      Why we love it
      An a.m. cleansing scrub that gently exfoliates and vacuum cleans your skin with soft almonds, natural honey and Vitamin E, leaving your skin simply sumptuous.
      what else you need to know
      Great for all skin types!
