Beauty Bar/Sample Society for July 2012

Yes its here!

The Beauty Bar July Edition was fabulous as it always surprises me with products I wouldn't normally sample and end up loving.  All of the samples are great this month and plus $15 off your July purchase with your gift code! (yeah!)

Its like getting an early birthday or Christmas present that you already know you are going to like!

I have always wanted to try this product line and this moisturizer is top notch.  It has a light scent and makes your skin feel like silk! A little goes a long way but I don't think anyone would mind if you over indulge.  I keep it in my purse and use it often during the day (hand washing really dries the skin and nails) and after a hot shower at night before bedtime!  Its quickly penetrates the skin leaving it soft without the greasy feel of some creams.

 At any age a great eye creme is worth it!  Use it when you are young for as much prevention aid as you can get before you get to be my age when it becomes a necessity! This is great after a hot shower and I use it before bed time so that it can work while I'm resting.  It could be used during the day under foundation or powder but I prefer using it at night.





Another "bonus" of a product I've wanted to try for quite a while now: Jouer luminizing moisture tint!   I am not much for "bronzers" being fair skinned and many of the "tinted moisturizers" out on the market can be a little thick for the summertime heat.  But this product delivers! With high sunscreen protection (SPF 20) and it's oil free - Jouer has a nice bronze like tint that easily blends into your skin without looking "overdone" or "out of place".  Adding a little powder sets everything in place so you look great by doing very little.

This company is new to me and will have to do a little research on it but the "hydration intense anti-age" and the fact that its a French product makes me happy.  The box the sample came in is written in French and English and what appears to be...Korean?  The website appears to be in English and Korean (www.sisley-cosmetics.co.kr ) and the product is made in France. So I'm not sure if this is exotic, a new company or something suspicious.  The lotion is thicker and takes a few minutes to truly absorb into the skin with a strong perfume scent.

Last but not least (but certainly the most difficult item I've tried to photograph) is the Vincent Longo due lip pencil in Sangria (red) and Glimmer (white).  I'm not sure how I am suppose to use this just yet since usually do not wear lipstick. The booklet says I received the Duo Eye Pencil, but that is clearly not the case...so I'll have to visit the Beauty Bar web site for a lesson...

I tried to photograph the lip pencil (hence it rolls everywhere) on several different surfaces and fabrics trying to get a professional looking photograph (which I am clearly NOT a photographer thank goodness for the iphone) and finally I snapped it on my keyboard which is where it looked the best.  The event was probably funny if someone  was watching me try to get this done!
