Bare Minerals Active Cell Renewal Night Serum

I received a free sample of the Active Cell Renewal Night Serum from Bare Escentuals.  I've used the makeup in the past and really liked it.  So I was anxious to try this product. All I had to pay was the shipping. Since I live in Canada the shipping was 13.00 but well worth it. Active Cell Renewal Night Serum from the package: Is clinically proven to help maximize cellular renewal and boost moisture levels, so you wake up to firm, beautifully radiant, younger-looking skin. I used  the serum at night. After cleansing I applied a pearl-sized amount to my face and neck. I would then apply my nighttime moisturizer.

 I love this serum!  Let me say it again! I love this serum!  I noticed a change in my skin the very next morning. It was smooth, soft like velvet and my skin glowed.  Yes, it glowed! The more I used it the more I couldn't wait to wash my face at night and put it on. I told my mom that my skin has never looked this good.  I received this 0.10 fl. oz sample on April 11, 2012.  I just used the last of it last night.  I turned the bottle over and hit the bottom making sure I got every last bit of it out.It's very light-weight.  You don't need a lot like I said before.  It's not greasy and melts into your skin very quickly.  You don't have to worry about it leaving any residue on your pillow. Just ordered a full-sized bottle.  Can't wait to start using it again.

Jeanette Jenkins Bikini Bootcamp DVD

Jeanette Jenkins was born and raised in Canada.  She is now internationally known as the Hollywood Trainer.  She has been featured on the Dr. Oz show and The Doctors. She's also been featured in Fitness, Shape and Health magazines. Her roster of clients include Serena Williams, Robin Thicke, Tia Mowry, Christina Applegate and Kelly Rowland. Ms. Rowland was also featured in her Sexy Abs DVD.

If you are looking to get bikini ready then Bikini Bootcamp is the  DVD for you. There's a 5 minute warm-up with some great music. I found myself wanting to dance during the warm-up.

Cardio Camp is the next section of the DVD.  The Cardio Camp is 28 minutes and is broken down into 5 circuits.  She teased me with the first circuit.  I said to myself 'Oh this is so easy.  I got this!'  Then starting with the second circuit it's like she flipped a switch and we were off and running.  It includes kickboxing and plyo. My two favorite types of cardio.  Next it was time to do some strength training. Chisel Camp is 25 minutes and was fun and challenging. I used 8-10 lbs dumbbells for the two circuits in the Chisel Camp. Jeanette recommends 8-10 pound dumbbells for circuit one and 3-5 pounds for circuit two. My heart rate stayed elevated through both Cardio and Chisel Camp.  I needed Lebron's headband during this workout.  Tons of sweat pouring down my face. I burned an average of 9 calories per minute while doing Cardio and Chisel Camp!

Jeanette is cheerful and a great motivator.  Whenever she said "Don't rush it." I felt like she could see me through the screen. Her cues were good. I was able to keep up. She also had moves in this DVD that I had never seen in any other DVD.  And if you follow my blog Beauty, Fitness & Health...Oh my! you know I have well over 60 workout DVDs. I love being challenged with new moves!

The next section was the Ab Camp. It's only 9 minutes.  I wondered to myself 'How am I going to get a complete abs workout in nine minutes?'  Well, she found a way with six tough moves.  With two of the exercises you use a 10 lbs dumbbell.  We did the exercises 2 times through and hit the lower abs and obliques.  Two problem areas for me.

The DVD ends with a relaxing stretch that lasted for eight minutes.  I really loved it and felt energized at the end.  This is a great overall DVD to get you ready for summer.  I will be giving away 1 copy of Bikini Boot Camp to one lucky winner.  The giveaway ends May 19, 2012 at 12:01am. The winner will be chosen via Rafflecopter. Thanks Jeanette for providing the DVD to giveaway;-)

Bio Oil

I have extremely dry skin especially in the winter.  I've tried many body lotions.  They work for a while but don't last very long.  I need something to keep my skin hydrated all day.  I originally bought Bio Oil for the scars on my legs left from me scratching my dry skin. Bio Oil according to the package can be used scars, stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging and dehydrated skin. It contains Vitamins A & E, Calendula, Lavender, Rosemary and Chamomile Oils.

So I started using the Bio Oil mainly for the scars, but I decided to use it in place of my body lotion for my dehydrated skin. My skin drank it in immediately.  It's not greasy and has a nice light scent. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

The first time using it I noticed that I didn't have to reapply it later in the day.  It kept my skin hydrated, smooth and soft. I've using it on a regular basis for five weeks and my skin doesn't get dry or crack anymore.  The scars have faded.  I will continue to use Bio Oil.  I've actually bought another from Well.ca before I've finished the first one. Great product!  I highly recommend it.

Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Eye Cream

As I have gotten older I have noticed the bags and the skin darkening under my eyes.  I decided to try the Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Anti-Shadow Eye Cream.  From the box: Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation Eye Cream enriched with Magnesium, Ginseng and Cucumber Extracts, invigorates the eye area with the cooling sensation of moisture.

This cream delivered on it's promises.  The area under my eye is firmer, no puffiness and the skin tone is lighter. The cream keeps my eye area hydrated all day long.  The cream itself soothes my eye area with the cooling sensation and blends in quickly.  It's not greasy or heavy at all. It comes in a tiny jar, but I've been using it for four weeks and still well over a 1/2 of the jar still left. Love this eye cream and will continue to use it. Check out Niveausa.com!
