Skip the dermatologist - Better skin is just a bottle away

There are so many skin care options is it really necessary to visit a doctor's office to have healthy vibrant skin?

As my age creeps up, I'm starting to think more and more about having a solid skin care routine. Trying out different cleansers, toners, exfoliants and moisturizers is not only costly but can be pretty time consuming.

Currently, I use a gentle cleanser like Lancome's Purifying Foaming Cleanser and follow it with AVON's Age Repair Elixir and their Ageless Results Renewing Day Cream. The elixir comes in an ultra cool gold bottle and is a little pricey at $54, but is worth every drop. It honestly makes your skin look and feel noticably better in just a few days. And the Day Cream is nice because it is non greasy and contains SPF 15. I can definitely see a difference in my skin.

Can maintaining healthy skin be this easy or is it necessary to go the route of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" and succumb to botox? Share your skin care secrets!

The Perfect Smoky Eye in Seconds?



We all covet the smoldering, sexy look of the smoky eye, but no matter how many how-tos we've read or how many times we've asked the lady at the make-up counter to show us the trick, achieving the right blend of smudge and color is easier said than done. Behold a new kind of make-up that attempts to get us the look flawlessly AND fast: ColorOn Instant Eye Shadow Applicators, which has gotten quite a bit of press lately. It seems simple enough. The applicators come built with the colors already blended, so you just peel, stick, remove and tada, you've got yourself a vampy set of eyes! I have to admit I am curious to give them a try. The only thing I'm wondering is if the eye shadows stay on for a while. It is definitely a neat concept though and perfect for us ladies who don't have time. It kind of reminds me of AVON's Instant Dry Nail Enamel Strips, which has rave reviews. So what do you think? Ay or nay to stick-on make-up?
