Actress Elizabeth Banks recently opened up to InStyle magazine about what beauty products she can’t live without.  You might recognize Elizabeth from Fred Claus, or most recently Definitely, Maybe.  She’s way hot.  These pictures are from this month’s Esquire Magazine.

Elizabeth loves Stila Kajal Eyeliner in Sapphire.  “These pencils are really creamy and come in great colors.”

Kajal Eye Liner from Stila!

These richly hued pencils are formulated to mimic the ultra-soft texture of the Indian eye darkener of the same name. The luscious formula glides on perfectly, without dragging across the fragile skin of the eye area. Delivers bold, clear, true color that easily blends and beautifies.

Within two weeks of starting I-sera eye wrinkle serum I could already see a marked difference in the skin around my eyes. The skin around my eyes looked more vibrant and my laugh lines are starting to fade. One of my favorite features of the I-sera wrinkle serum is the applicator, it comes in a little bottle the size of a lipstick tube.

To apply you just roll along your eyes and it’s easy to control the amount being dispensed. No more rubbing eye cream into the delicate skin with worry of damage the I-Sera wrinkle serum glides along gently no rubbing necessary.  There is no harsh scent or burning like some wrinkle creams have left. A great product that is super easy to apply and affordably priced!

I love the look of my hair blown out and straightened but in reality as a stay at home mom I don’t have much time. I am usually just lucky to get through a shower alone now that my 3yr old has figured out how to pick the bathroom lock. I have used hundreds of different products to make my naturally curly hair look styled and not like I gave up on myself. A lot of products work for a while but over the day my hair gets bigger and bigger or dries out. I have finally found something that leaves my hair looking as great at the end of the day as it did at the start.

Hair Play’s Set is great for a blowout my hair stays super moisturized and it helps keep it from getting frizzy as the day wears on. My favorite way to use Set is right out of the shower on towel dried hair, just a few pumps of foam and I am able to work it through all my hair. After its worked in I just twist sections of my hair and then leave it as it dries and unrolls you are left with soft supple curls that last until your next shower. Best of all it keep my hair from frizzing and the conditioning agents keep it from drying out.

UPDATE : I’ve been using SET for a few weeks now and I am truly amazed by the difference. I have long curly hair that tends to get very dry and tangled. Within a few weeks of using SET my whole hair texture has changed it’s now smoother and softer and my curls hold without frizzing or drying. One of the best things about SET is I can now comb right through my hair when I get out of the shower, prior to using SET it would take me forever to get all the knots and tangles out of my hair. The more I use SET the more I love it! If you haven’t ordered it yet don’t wait any longer!

Banish those under eye blues with the two-steps-to-pretty approach. First, dab on a light-reflecting primer to brighten things up. It dazzles and distracts so you won’t need as much concealer!

Next, grab a peach- or yellow-toned concealer. Peach wipes out blue hues and yellow cancels purple. Also, don’t forget that dark circles are called circles for a reason, says Sephora Beauty Pro Vanessa Dunn. She recommends dotting concealer all the way around your eye, making sure to get your lids, edges, and that little spot between the corner of your eye and the side of your nose.

Bingo! Eyes that say, “Eight hours every night“…even if it isn’t.

First, try Eye Specialist!  It’s a luxurious antiaging treatment cream for the eye area.

Cosmedicine Eye Specialist Essential Moisture Treatment provides deep hydration to revitalize the fragile eye area. It lightens and brightens dark under-eye circles, promotes collagen synthesis to firm and tighten skin around the eyes, and softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The cream is fortified with powerful antiaging vitamins and antioxidants and is ideal for all skin types.
