FOTD from Tuesday 6/21 - My daughter's 13th bday!!
My daughter is officially a teenager now! Oh my goodness! I can't believe it! She turned 13 on June 21st. We took her out out to dinner to Outback Steakhouse and had a really good time with the family! Next weekend we're having a little party for her so she is super excited.
On to makeup now! I wanted to share my look for dinner on Tuesday! I came home from work and just threw something together pretty quickly since I didn't have a lot of time. The eye and lip combo is a little different, but I kinda like it!
I can't recall all the products I used, but for the eyes, I used an old GWP (Gift with Purchase) palette from Lancome. I no longer purchase products from Lancome since I learned that they test on animals. :(

Experiment - Clinique Pore Refining Solutions
Well, it's no secret that I'm no Spring Chicken! I turned 35 this year and am starting to see little things here and there that I am so not happy about! **Sigh** Anyway, one of the things that bugs me the most is the size of the pores on my nose and cheek area. It drives me insane!!! I feel like they are getting larger and larger and of course having combination/oily skin doesn't help.
Within the last few weeks, I have been researching skincare products that specifically target large pores. I came across Clinique's Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum. I read some good reviews about it so I decided to give it a shot.
Just to give you a little bit of information about this product; Clinique claims that this product "helps skin bring healthier cells to the surface for a tighter, smoother, younger look. In 2 weeks, pores appear 58% smaller." It is recommended that you apply morning and night after Clinique's 3 Step System (which I am using right now).
I couldn't find a complete list of ingredients for this product, but according to the little pamphlet that was included in the package, the Correcting Serum is a "lightweight, oil-free serum with Pore Resurfacing Complex." Sounds good to me!! HA!
I have been using the product for about a week now, per the directions on the package and I have to say that I am seeing good results. Now, it's not like my pores are magically disappearing or anything like that, but they do appear a little smaller and the skin in that area is not as oily. In fact, I haven't had to blot as often now that I've started using the serum. I've also noticed that my nose does not have as many blackheads as it used to. All of this after only one full week of use. Not too shabby! I'm pretty impressed so far!! I hope I continue to see further improvement as the weeks go by. Just maybe I'll wake up two weeks from now, with the flawless skin of a 21 year old! Yeah, wishful thinking, I know! :)
Moving on! Let's talk about the price now! At Sephora, where I purchased this product; it retails for $39.50. Yup, I know! It's a little expensive for 1.0 oz of product, but a little does go a long way, so I am sure it will be a while before I have to re-purchase.
That brings me to my next point! Will I re-purchase? Yes, I will. Overall, I am really impressed with the serum. I think it works well for me and unless I find some super duper instant pore shrinker in the meantime, I will continue to buy the Correcting Serum.
If any of you decide to try this product, please let me know how it works out for you. If you are already using a Pore Refining/Minimizing product that works great for you, please share what it is in the comments below. I am always interested in hearing about different products.
Hopefully I will be back with some FOTD's this weekend. It better not be a Bad Makeup Weekend for me!! Grrrrr!!
Til next time,
Jackee

Bad Makeup Weekend
We all have those Bad Hair Days from time to time, but do you ever find yourself have a Bad Makeup Day? Ugh! I have those from time to time and it's no fun! This past weekend, I had Bad Makeup Days! Not sure what happened...
I just bought a new camera and wanted to test it out by taking pics of my makeup. Well, no matter what I did, my makeup was just not looking good. At least to me it didn't look good. I blended and blended and blended, but my eyeshadows were just not cooperating. Oh well! There is always another time...
I'll be back with some FOTD's soon!
Have a good day ladies!!

ShoeDazzle.com
Hey ladies! Happy Friday! As usual, it's been a long week and I am happy it's over. Time for Rest and Relaxation this weekend! Woo! I just got a new camera and I am HOPING it takes better pics of my makeup! We shall see. I will be posting some FOTD's this weekend!
So I want to share some info with you guys about one of my Fave websites. At least it's become one of my fave websites in the last few months. Yes, it's ShoeDazzle.com! If you haven't heard about it, please keep reading. Especially if you're a shoe fanatic! It's definitely worth looking into. At least I think so!
So ShoeDazzle.com is a shoe club, but you can also purchase jewelry, handbags, and at select times, there may be other style related items available. All items are $39.95 but you are never obligated to buy. The way it works is you sign up by taking a Style Profile Quiz in order to determine just that...What your style is! Once that is established, you will receive recommendations on shoes, handbags, jewelry on a monthly basis. You can choose an item from your "recommendations" or you can request alternates.
As I mentioned above, all items are $39.95. Each month when you receive your recommendations you are given between the 1st and the 5th of the month to select something from your showroom. If you opt to skip the month, you have to remember to select the SKIP option, otherwise you will be charged $39.95.
As far as shipping, it's always free (Ground Shipping), but only free for the contiguous United States only. The same applies for Returns. Please check the website for additional details on shipping and returns.
If you'd like more information, or have specific questions, please make sure to check out the site. I just wanted to share the guts of it all I guess. HA! So far I am really enjoying being a member. I think it's a lot of fun; not super expensive; Shipping is Free; and I am given the opportunity to try new things each month.
I wanted to share the purchases I've made from ShoeDazzle in the last few months. I've purchased two pairs of shoes and love them both. I look forward to making more purchases in the near future. Hope you like!

My Fave New Lotion - Twilight Woods from Bath & Body Works
I went to Bath & Body Works over the weekend and purchased several lotions since they had a good deal going on: Buy 3 Get 2 Free! Woo! Perfect time to stock up on goodies!
I bought the following:
So today I wore the Twilight Woods body lotion and it smelled so yummy! Normally, I put my lotion on in the morning and by midday, I can't smell the lotion anymore. This one actually stuck around all day! Even after my 3 mile run after work, I can still smell it a little! Woo!
Well, I gotta hit the shower now. Even though I can still smell my lotion a little after my run...it's not enough to cover the rest of my sweaty stinkiness! HA!!
Talk to you soon!
I bought the following:
- Coconut Mango
- (2) Secret Wonderland (one for my daughter. She's already put it away in her room)
- Twilight Woods
- Coconut Passionfruit
They all smell yummy, but OH EM GEE!! I know Twilight Woods has been around for awhile now (I think), but I hadn't had the opportunity to check it out til this past weekend. I absolutely LOVE this scent.
Here is some information on the scent directly from the Bath & Bodyworks website:
- Our exclusive Twilight Woods is a hypnotic fragrance inspired by a romantic walk in enchanted woods (Now I don't know about all that, but it does smell pretty darn good)
- Key fragrance notes: Juicy Berry, Soft Mimosa, Apricot Nectar, Warm Woods
Well, I gotta hit the shower now. Even though I can still smell my lotion a little after my run...it's not enough to cover the rest of my sweaty stinkiness! HA!!
Talk to you soon!
