Physicians Formula Super CC Cream Review

Walking into Rite Aid at the beginning of the New year is like being a kid in a candy shop. All the new displays and products can almost make you dizzy. A few different products caught my eye but not being able to buy them all at once made me really buckle down and decide which I needed most.

That brought me to the new Super CC Cream from Physicians Formula. 

I don't think I have ever really used any products from Physicians Formula other than maybe a pressed powder. It's certainly not because I haven't heard great things about them, but I guess it was my curiosity about CC creams that drew me to their product and the fact that they are gluten free, paraben free and oil free among other things.

What caught my eye too is all the things it claims to do for your skin. First off, it's the 1st ever Color-Correction Care Cream.

Here's a list of what it visibly corrects:

• Dark circles
• Age spots
• Blemishes
•  Dullness
• Uneven Skin tone
• Redness
• Dark Shadows
• Discoloration
• Fine Lines
• Wrinkles
• Signs of Fatigue
• Replaces anti-aging treatment
• Moisturizer 
• SPF 30

WHEW! That's a whole lot :)  

I have to say I'm totally and utterly pleased with this product. I love the way it feels and goes on my skin smoothly. It feels light like a tinted moisturizer but definitely has the coverage I need. 

It doesn't get oily or greasy whether I use a moisturizer before or not and it wears well throughout the day and doesn't dry out my skin. 

It comes in two shades, Light and Light/Medium which is the one I picked up. The match is perfect even with me either getting sun outside or with my self tanner.

Over all I can't say enough good things about it.

It comes in a  1.2fl oz tube and retails on the Physicians Formula site for $14.95.

At my Rite Aid it was $13.95, plus I got an instant $3.00 off coupon as well. Score!

Let me know if you have tried this and what you think of it. Also let me know if you have tried any other CC Creams. 

Product Review- Blush Body Treatment from Aster Elliott

When I received my Aster Elliott DNA Detox Cleanse I also got her Blush Body Treatment from her Corset  Cleanse Program to try.
This is a toxin eliminating body treatment meant to absorb the toxins and impurities in your skin, leaving it taut, soft, supple and glowing. You are supposed to use it only 1 time a week and it's recommended that you drink plenty of water after using.

As you can see it looks like almost a clay mask. That's because one of it's main ingredients is French clay, along with Horse chesnut, Mango, Pinapple, and Banana just to name a few of the ingredients.
This smells AMAZING!!! Like her body treatment from her DNA Detox, it has that spa like fresh smell along with a citrus, light fruit smell.
For application all you do is simply apply it all over your body in the shower with circular motions, let it sit for about a minute and then rinse off completely.
My skin definitely felt the tightening effect but in a good way, not a dried tight feeling but more taut. It also left it feeling so smooth and silky, and overall just clean.

Check out her website to see all the different cleanse programs she offers and make sure you check out my Youtube channel to watch my three part series on her DNA Detox that I did two weeks ago.

♥ My Current Tanning Routine & Two Top Product Picks ♥

So it's that time of year again. Tanning season! Although, I'm not trying to rub it in, I live in sunny California so I kind of tend to get sun year round. But on the days it's too cold or I don't have time that's where my sunless tanning sprays come in handy. Over the past few months I've discovered two really great products that so far seem to keep me pretty satisfied. Of course that's not to say I ever stop looking for better!
The first one is a recommendation from a friend who found it in the tanning salon she goes to. When I checked it out it was $27. Sorry I'm not cheap but I'm not naïve either! I knew I could find it for a better price so I hopped on Amazon.com and found it for about $13 bucks. However I was just too impatient to wait for it to come in the mail so I managed to find it online at Sally's Beauty supply on sale for $15. I got in my car and drove to my local Sally's pronto!  It is regularly $19.99 which is still pretty good in my opinion.
The coverage is great, the smell is much better than others I have tried in the past and overall I'm quite pleased.

Body Drench Quick Tan Medium/Dark Bronzing Spray

Never fully satisfied, a few weeks later I jumped back onto the internet looking for some other good products. I came across one that I noticed had no parabens, and was gluten free! (lately I've been watching my gluten intake and cutting it out of my diet since I have a sneaking suspicion I might have an intolerance)
Anyway, this product I would rate slightly above the Body drench for a couple of reasons. One because I feel it's a little healthier for my skin, two because it gets me a little bit darker, and lastly because the smell is even better. There is hardly no tanning odor at all.
