SUMMER WISH LIST

As the temperature is soaring, there is a great need to change up and add appropriate products to the beauty routine. These are some of the new products that caught our attention and we are eager to try them. If you own any of them, please leave a comment below and share your thoughts.

1. Kerastase Cristalliste $36
    Designed for women with long hair and dry ends. Kerastase is a revolutionary company and this new product seems to promise the results every woman desires.
2. Chantecaille Just Skin tinted moisturizer  $65
    Moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen, all in one. This product, although, not very long lasting but very light-weight and moisturizing. Plus point, it already has SPF 15 (According to SPF research, higher the value does not mean more protection. A good amount applied on the skin is sufficient to ensure sun protection)
3. Lancer Glycolic 10% Facial Cream $50
    A very efficient and my favorite ingredient in moisturizers is Glycolic acid. It easily penetrates the skin and allows other products in the cream to penetrate as well. Helps clear hyper-pigmentation, acne and wrinkles. On the side note, Victoria Beckham seems to like this brand. Looking at her, it's definitely worth a try.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR "END-ALL" MOISTURIZER

We all are looking for that secret jar of beauty, a moisturizer that would put an end for all the time we spend on beauty. We run around in drug-stores, high-end department stores, searching for a product that will give us that "Hollywood" glow. But we always end up realizing that we wasted our money with the same disappointment, an expensive product with no satisfactory results. Yet we are so relentless, because we continue the search nonetheless.

In the midst of searching, there is one product that I always wanted to try and heard some really promising reviews, The Revive Moisturizer. Does it really work? Is it worth spending hundred some dollars on it? I pondered many times. So here is the deal, Saks is hosting a Revive Moisturizer Exchange Event in NYC and Beverly Hills on May 24th. You can bring in your daily moisturizer and they will exchange it for The Revive Moisturizer. That way, you don't have to spend the money and get to try a really awesome product. I don't know about you, but this sounds like something that one should not miss!

Unfortunately, this only applies to people in New York (visitors or residents) and Beverly Hills. Please don't moan over this, you can always ask for free samples at the nearest Revive counter.
