Michael Todd Beauty Total Refresher

Press Sample I have a brand new skincare device to share with you today: The Michael Todd Beauty Total Refresher! I had the opportunity to try this out and share it with my readers before it launches on July 24th. What is the Total Refresher? This is a complete skin rejuvenation system to help improve your skin’s texture, enlarged pores, fine lines and uneven skin tone. It’s perfect for skin that needs to be refreshed. There are 3 steps in 1 device for this: Microdermabrasion, black head & milia removal, and then soothing your skin. Step 1 Smooths, Step 2 Removes and Step 3 Soothes. This device is not ideal for sensitive skin. I don’t have super sensitive skin, but it was red for a couple hours after use. Otherwise, it is ideal for other skin types, I just wanted to point out that those with sensitive skin should either…

Glow by Nature Made® Skin Moisture + Hair & Nails

This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. As I get older, I’m realizing how little I did for my skin growing up. I have a whole routine now that never existed 15 years ago. I’m not just talking about removing my makeup before bed or finding the right moisturizer with SPF in it, but also boosting my skincare from the inside out. While I can’t fix the past, I can improve now and moving on into the future. I was at Target recently (my son needed more school clothes, as usual!) and when I walked by the vitamin and supplement aisle I spotted the Glow by Nature Made® Skin Moisture line, which includes three varieties of supplements: Skin Moisture, +Hair & Nails (which contains biotin‡) and the Sleep version, which provides melatonin. I picked up all 3,…

Clarins Hydra-Essential Cooling Gel Moisturizer

Press Sample Affiliate Link A few months ago I joined a new network that is specifically geared toward Instagram and Youtube more than the physical blog. While I love my blog, sometimes I get a little overwhelmed when work is busier and my son’s schedule is all over the place. The network is Octoly (for those curious) and it allows me to try out new brands and do mini reviews or features on my Instagram account. What does this have to do with Clarins Hydra-Essential Cooling Gel Moisturizer? Well, I received it through Octoly to feature on my Instagram, and I loved it so much that I decided to do a full review on it. Clarins Hydra-Essential Cooling Gel Moisturizer is recommended for normal to combination skin, but it also helps problems such as redness, dullness and uneven texture as well as dryness. I personally have combination skin and most moisturizers…

Keeping Moisture Locked In This Winter

Sponsored by CVS & Mirum Shopper Winter’s not over yet and it’s still very important to take care of your skin during these chilly months. As you probably already know, one of the best ways to keep your skin healthy and hydrated during these months is to moisturize. While my skin doesn’t get super dry, it does get tight and itchy during the cooler months and seeks relief. Luckily CVS can help me with keeping moisture locked in this Winter so I don’t suffer! I took the quiz and it said my top products should be St. Ives Collagen & Elastin Body Lotion, Pond’s Cold Cream Cleanser and Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash. I also picked up Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair because I have a deep love for it at work (and my coworkers tend to use it too!) They are BOGO 50% afterall, so perfect time to stock up…

When I find gadgets that fit into beauty and are easy enough for someone like me to understand? I get incredibly excited!
