Hello world! I'm bouncing back from the flu and I have discovered my new favorite beauty product. Trust me, after blowing my nose for a week straight, I needed something to make me feel human and pretty again. I rifled through my box of misc. beauty things this weekend and pulled out a peel-off face mask from Yes to! and it did not disappoint. This detoxifying charcoal mask goes on as a liquid (more accurately a goo) and dries on your face. Ten minutes later, it actually will peel off your face like it's dry. I had my doubts because I've tried some peel off masks before, to little success. These pieces came off easily, in large chunks, and made for little cleanup. My face actually felt clean and my pores felt tighter when it was done.

I had to rinse the goo off my hands after applying, but didn't have to rinse them when peeling off the mask! I loved the mask so much, I even took a photo of myself wearing it. I will be stocking up on several of these masks this weekend. I wholeheartedly support this product.

Beauty Tuesday: Vitamins on My Face?

I am a fan of vitamin c. The singer,  known as Colleen Ann Fitzpatrick, had some great songs in the late 90's. For the purposes of this blog, I'm taking about the actual vitamin. I've been taking a supplement every day for over a month since my family got the flu. It tastes a bit metallic, but it can be an amazing immune booster. Last month,  I read about seems for the face that have concentrated vitamin c. I picked up one a few weeks ago to see what all the fuss was about. Overall, I'm not sure I get it.

After some research,  I picked up Clinique's fresh pressed vitamin c daily booster at my local Ulta Beauty. For my first try at
a serum, I was willing to pay less than $20.00. With an attractive price of $19.50  at any location with a Clinique counter, it seemed perfect. At the store, there were two packages, one with a vial and a package with 4 vials ($75.00). The idea of the multi-pack is to use one each a week. I'm not a "vial each week" committed to my face. after three weeks of using vitamin c mixed with moisturizer at night, I'm not impressed. My skin seems a little softer than an average January day, but I can't see or feel a difference in my face.
