Girliemom – October 2011 – Top 3 Favorite Beauty Products

These products are some of my all-time favorites and all of them may be purchased at the Girliemom Boutique!!!

(1) Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha  Beta Glow Pad

Not ready to give up your gorgeous summer glow? I don’t blame you. Me either. I found this incredible product at the QVC Beauty Bash last year. It is  now my #1 go-to product for maintaining a gorgeous glow all year-long. This product is meant for your face and  décolleté only and as you can see, it comes packaged in a sweet little wrapper that contains only enough product to do those areas.  I typically buy in bulk because I never want to be without. The Alpha Beta Glow Pads are an exfoliating self-tanner with antiaging properties and vitamin D and recently was awarded by Allure Magazine as their Best of Beauty Winner for 2011.   For more information about Dr. Dennis Gross and his full line of products you can visit here: http://www.dgskincare.com/index.cfm?&CFID=2873784&CFTOKEN=58731462

(2) Jose Maran Argan Color Stick      http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/

This Argan-oil infused color stick is a sheer tint that gives natural looking color to cheeks and lips.  The application of this product is very simple. No brush and no powdery mess.  You can apply straight from the tube. All shades are designed to flatter every skin tone so have fun to experiment!  My personal favorite is the petal pink because it is soft enough for my pale complexion and I can use it for  my eyes, cheeks and lips.  Powdery blushes have tendency to make skin look dry – the Jose Maran color stick solves that problem with its silky application.

The Argan color stick contains Josie’s signature ingredient, organic Argan Oil which is a great source of vitamin E and
essential fatty acids and helps to achieve that perfect “glow“.  Fabulous!

 (3) Signature  Club A By Adrienne – Meltdown Cleansing Creme for Face and Eyes

This product is pretty darn close to heaven in a jar.  I received this as a gift and truth be told it sat in my bathroom closet for about 6 months before I used it. When I ran out of my old standby makeup remover and was too stubborn to pay the price for a new bottle, I remembered that I had this tucked away.  I was immediately in love with this product and still swear by it today.  Are you tired of stinging and rubbing your eyes to get your mascara off? This product will literally “melt” your make-up off in 10 seconds. You apply with a soft cloth, count to 10, then wipe off. It’s that simple. The best part is its creamy texture which makes it so enjoyable to apply. Plus, it comes in a variety of flavors. My personal favorites are the coconut (see photo above) and lemon zest.   If you’d like to try a few different varieties you can purchase a small collection of 6 from HSN. This  makes for a fun gift idea as well ! You can give one jar out to each of your girlfriends (I did that last year!)
