Happy Birthday Renee!

I really do love Renee Rouleau.  

I love to try new products and play with new types of skin care.  I have been doing it for more years than I care to admit! 

But with Renee, I got religious.

About my routine, that is!

I really can't tell you what a difference this has made in my skin.  Renee's products are incredible and, once I saw the improvement, I decided to stick to the routine she recommended for me.  Even when I travel, I take her products with me.  That used to be the time that I threw all of small samples in a bag and took off but those days are over!

What is the secret?  Forgot those basic skin type categories that we have been taught we need to fit in to in the past.  Renee took it beyond dry, oily and combination and broke it into nine different categories.  You can take her test on-line to find out which products suit your skin. 

I promise you will love her products so give them a go!  You won't regret it!

This is not a sponsored post, just a little Happy 18th Birthday to one of the best skin care lines around!

Win Wednesday - Bulgari Beauty!

One of our precious readers, Wendy, wrote in to me last week to ask me about the extra plastic lid that comes in all of the jars of beauty creams she is addicted to purchasing.  She wants to know why it is there, what it is for and if she should keep it on there!  To be honest, I had the same questions so I turned to my friends at BVLGARI who have developed the most amazing skin care line using their BVLGARI Gem Essence complex which uses fine and precious stones to help the skin resist external stresses.  It is  like putting all of the positive energies of gemstones on to your skin!  Can you think of anything more luxurious?  Here is what they had to say about the plastic lids in their products:


  “The plastic disks are on the jars of our skincare products to prevent contamination. Once the jar is opened, since it is not a pump, the plastic disk provides an element of protection.”

Sounds like a good answer to me!  I like anything that prevents contamination!  I like to keep my lids with my products because it makes me feel like there is a little bit of extra protection.  I hope that answers you question Wendy!

In addition to their helpful insight, our generous friends at BVLGARI have also put a special skin care treat aside in their Dallas boutique for one lucky reader!

Our winner will be announced here on Friday!   I have been using these products myself and I can't resist telling you how amazing they are.  There is something so special about opening the amazing BVLGARI jars with lids modeled after their signature jewelery pieces and then the fragrance of the products takes over and makes you fell like you are getting an incredible facial in a luxurious spa.  The best part, though, is the way your skin glows after you use the products.  Trust me, this is one big prize you don't want to miss! Good Luck!
