Starting today, two of my favorite all-time beauty brands are having a three day sale! That’s right!!! June 25, 2014 through June 27, 2014, you can save money purchasing from Laura Mercier or ReVive; or both!

Here are the sale details:

Today through Friday you can save 20% off your purchase from LauraMercier.com and also receive free shipping with your $75+ order! How amazing is that?!?! Let’s face it, beauty products NEVER go on sale, so this is an extremely rare opportunity to save money on beauty products. I plan to stock up on Laura Mercier’s “Caviar Stick.” I cannot live without Laura Mercier “Caviar Stick” in “Cocoa.” It is my number one go-to beauty product I put on everyday before leaving the house! Well that, and deodorant of course 😉

ReVive has been my go-to skincare line for well over a decade. The world might end if I run out of their “Sensitif Renewal Cream” with spf 30 or their fabulous “Fermitif Neck Renewal Cream” with spf 15. Recently, I became hooked on ReVive’s facial cleanser; you can check out my review here.

ReVive NEVER goes on sale, so this is the ideal time to stock on every skin care product you need. I know I will be stocking up! If you shop at ReviveSkinCare.com now through Friday and spend $250+ you will save $50 off your purchase and receive free shipping. In addition, you can select up to two free samples! Love that!

I am a huge Laura Mercier and ReVive fan, so if you have any questions about the their products while shopping the sales, feel free to tweet me, Facebook me, or email me at cathy at bayareafashionista dot com. 

I cannot wait to hear what you buy! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

 

Skindinavia makeup primer review

DSC_0126Pictured: c/o Skindinavia “The Makeup Primer” spray

Skindinavia “The Makeup Primer Spray” is a vitamin-based primer which is applied on top of your moisturizer/face cream, and before your foundation. The idea behind the primer is that it creates a smooth surface for foundation which, in turn, allows foundation to apply evenly and create a clear, smooth complexion. 

There has been a new trend in makeup, where products, such as primer, foundation, and more, are being offered in a spray; making application easier than with the traditional bottle. Skindinavia’s “The Makeup Primer” is an easy to use spray-on primer which applies evenly, and allows the perfect base for foundation. 

I tested out Skindinavia’s “The Makeup Primer,” which also controls oil, in both eighty and ninety degree weather. It worked like a charm! My foundation did not melt and my make-up stayed smooth all day. Skindinavia’s “The Makeup Primer” is a lightweight, silicone-free makeup primer which does not clog pores. Love that! It is also loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and Skindinavia’s “temperature-control” technology which helps keep your skin at an even temperature.

Skindinavia’s “The Makeup Primer” is ideal for the warm summer months and perfect when you need your foundation to look smooth and fresh; and isn’t that everyday?!

Skindinavia’s “The Makeup Primer” can be found online at Skindinavia.com

 

Prada Luna Rossa Extreme edt review

Pictured: c/o Prada “Luna Rossa Extreme” eau de toilette and after shave balm from the limited edition gift set.

Prada Luna Rossa Extreme is the new fragrance for men from Prada. Debuting in December 2013, this popular men’s fragrance has quickly become one of the most coveted scents for men. For Father’s Day 2014, Prada has introduced a limited edition gift set which contains a 3.4 oz eau de toilette and 3.4 oz. after shave balm. This is the perfect set for Father’s Day; or any gifting opportunity for that matter!

We tested out both the eau de toilette and after shave balm from Prada Luna Rossa and loved the scent! The overall fragrance was warm with a peppery top which settled in after about twenty minutes. The heart of the fragrance is amber which is slightly sweetened by a light vanilla base. The fragrance experience is warm and offers  medium strength; making it appropriate for everyday wear. Love that!

Top notes: Italian Bergamot, black pepper, fresh lavender

Middle notes: Leathery balsamic labdanum, juniper berry, amber

Base notes: Intense lavender absolute, vanilla

Prada Luna Rossa Extreme edt and after shave balm is perfect for the man in your life. The gift set can be found online here, here and here.
