My Eyes Have It

If I love something, I always take it too far and never shut up about it which I think pretty much annoys everyone around me.  I mean, okay, New Kids on the Block - didn't shut up for all of 1989.  High School boyfriend - didn't shut up for all of 1993 and then when he dumped me, didn't shut up again for all of 1994.  Whatever, you see where I'm going with this.  I focus...entirely too much.  Products are no different for me.  I haven't shut up about Become Beauty since I was introduced to them earlier this year and here I am, still going on and on about them.  I have been dilligently slathering their Age Resistant Eye Cream on and I am (no surprise) very impressed.  It sinks in almost immediately, has a very pleasantly light fragrance and soothes and cools the eye area - really reducing puffiness.  Aside from containing Pearl Extract which brightens the area, it also contains Matrixyl 3000 which promotes collagen production (helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles - I think it sounds like a space station).  I adore how incredibly moisturizing and how reasonably priced the eye cream is (for a big ol jar of the stuff).  It retails for $39.00 and comes in their signature, adorable, red container.

Face Masks Don't Have to be Messy

Just in case you missed my previous post about the Australian skincare line Become, I will reiterate - I love this line.  It could be all the wonderful ingredients they have in their products, the fact they don't test on animals, or just the very fact that they're from Down Under (gotta love the Aussies), but whatever it is that makes me truly love them, it doesn't matter because I just do.  I mean, c'mon, did I have to justify why I had a crush on that kid Dave in junior high?  No, I did not.  I just liked him, well, because.  Much like my passionate love at thirteen, I am almost stalker-obsessed with Become's Color Therapy Masks.  The real beauty of these guys is that you take them out of the packet, take off the backing strip and just place onto your face to let the ingredients sink into skin.  No messy fingers, no crunchy mask into your hair, no mask up your nose (am I the only one who does that?)  You will look like Hannibal Lecter while you have the mask on (a sexy Hannibal, might I add), but will be so thrilled in fifteen minutes when you take the mask off to reveal soft, glowy skin.  All three masks (rejuvenating, revitalizing, and relaxing) contain sodium hyaluronate which helps to heal dry skin and they truly smell fantastic.  I have to say my favorite part about using the masks isn't even the fabulous results but actually the application process.  The masks are incredibly cooling and soothing, which instantly relaxes your mind and body.  I love to put on a mask, lay down on the hammock outside and close my eyes for a rest - it really is like being at the spa.  (Well, a spa with two golden retrievers depositing wet tennis balls beside you and a husband asking you where the extra bars of soap are).  But you catch my drift.  The masks are a favorite of mine and are now a staple in my beauty arsenal.  The pack of six masks retails at $39.00 and is well worth the price.  To order Become products, call 877-232-6632 or order online by using the code #100109 with the password “become".

You'll Become A Huge Fan

As if I didn’t already love Aussies enough (my husband is one, so I’m slightly biased) I recently discovered an incredible line of Australian products here in the U.S. Hooray! While I thought I had already been introduced to the best hand creams in existence, I had yet to meet Age Resistant Rejuvenating Hand Cream by Become which quickly slid in and took first place for me. Not only does this stuff smell of sweet orange with a hint of mint (it actually really smells like Vanilla-Orange cake, which as I type it sounds really yummy if this concoction exists) but it also sinks in immediately without any greasy after-feel. I adore that they test only on Australians (picture Foster-drinking people with koalas and kangaroos as testers) and the price is completely affordable ($15.00). Aside from sinking in quickly, the formula is especially moisturizing and contains glycerin, which means your hands actually stay moisturized throughout the day. I just can’t get behind certain Aussie things - Vegemite, Coffee in a tube or calling Burger King Hungry Jack’s, but this line I definitely am a fan of.
