Dolce Gabbana skin care

Dolce Gabbana has introduced skin care to their beauty collection! This luxurious collection of skin care includes daily skin moisturizer, eye gel, SPF protection and skin cleansers. As a huge fan of Dolce Gabbana’s make-up line, I was thrilled to hear the designing duo branched out to skin care.

I have spent the better part of my life outdoors. This means my skin has taken a beating from sun, wind and swimming pool chemicals. As my skin ages, I am also aware of fine lines and loss of radiance in my overall skin tone. Dolce Gabbana’s new skin care collection promises to restore radiance, prevent and reduce fine lines, moisturize and protect skin from the sun through SPF protection. Love that!

I tested out Dolce Gabbana’s new Cleansing Oil, Aurealux Eye Gel and Aurealux Cream. I have to admit, I am impressed! I have tried a variety of skin care products over the years, and very few have caught my attention. Dolce Gabbana’s products worked extremely well on my aging, combination skin. I did not break out with any blemishes from using the cream and my skin stayed stabilized; no excess oil, love that! I saw my fine lines diminished and my skin moisturized and balanced within one week of use. The cleansing oil was gentle and made my skin squeaky clean; without stripping it of essential oils.

I am excited about Dolce Gabbana’s new skin care line and look forward to trying other products from the collection; especially the mask!

Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low nail polish is a beautiful, sparkling silver hue from the Winter 2015 nail polish collection. This fabulous silver nail polish is easy to wear and extremely festive; after all, the winter season includes the holiday season! One must be festive 😉

One of the big trends in nail polish for the fall and winter seasons is metallic nail polish. Metallic hues are being show in all forms of traditional metal including gold, silver, pewter and rose gold. Essie Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is ideal for the winter and holiday seasons since the silver color works perfectly with winter pastels, while adding sparkle to the seasons’ neutral color palettes. 

I tested out Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low with two coats of color and one base coat. The nail polish turned out to be very strong! It lasted eight days before I received one chip. Love that!

In addition to being a fabulous nail polish color for the winter and holiday seasons, Essie’s Jiggle Hi Jiggle Low is a great neutral hue which can be worn during any season of the year. This makes it an ideal color to add to ones’ nail polish wardrobe. It’s neutral and it sparkles, what else can you ask for?

Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream is a wrinkle-reducing face cream which is affordable, and promises to reduce wrinkles starting on the first day of use. Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream penetrates quickly to reduce wrinkles by accelerating cell turnover. It also hydrates skin in order to regenerate volume and shape on the skins’ surface while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream also promises to smooth and brighten skin while restoring elasticity through plumping hydration.

I tested out Olay’s Regenerist micro-sculpting cream for two weeks and my skin felt soft and moisturized. This is a great daily face cream for a girl on budget. The product offers a lot of bang for your buck!

Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream can be found online here.
