Dolce & Gabbana’s new The Lift Foundation and The Primer are luxurious additions to the designing duo’s beauty line. Both products offer exceptional moisturizing benefits while achieving flawless coverage; ultimately making you look younger in the process. Love that!

“One of the Dolce & Gabbana woman’s most powerful tools is her face: every aspect reveals something about her and her experiences, each expression reveals an emotion. Each woman decides what parts, if any, of the story she wants to tell, and that’s one of her strongest assets.” -Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana.

The Lift Foundation is formulated with Gold FlavoSilk Tricomplex with extracts of Gold Silk Sericin, Italian Olive Oil and Vitamin B3. This unique combination of ingredients restore’s skins’ natural moisture and smooths out fine lines and wrinkles in about four weeks. In addition, there is a choice between UV protection and broad spectrum protection; both offer SPF 25. I am in love with the broad spectrum version!

The Primer is a fabulous, hydrating, radiance-enhancing formula which offers protection for the skin while illuminating it. Love that! Dolce & Gabbana’s The Primer is infused with Gold Silk Sericin and Italian Olive Oil. The result is a fresh, natural, luminous complexion which is smooth and refined. Love that too!

I have fallen in love with Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation and The Primer. Both products keep my skin moisturized and reduced my fine lines; a benefit I needed badly! I also love the broad spectrum SPF 25 in The Lift Foundation, with all the sunshine we have here in the San Francisco Bay Area, it is really important to wear SPF protection on a daily basis.

Dolce & Gabbana’s The Lift Foundation comes in fifteen shades and can be found online here. The Primer, can be found online here.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips review

Deep Cleansing Pore Strips c/o Biore

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips first debuted when I was in undergrad at USF. I always thought it looked like an easy way to clean out my pores, but I was always afraid to deviate from my cleansing routine. When Biore contacted me and asked me if I would like to test out thier Deep Cleansing Pore Strips, I jumped at the chance!

In order to see how deep Biore’s Deep Cleansing Pore Strips could really clean, I skipped my weekly mask and stuck to my daily cleansing routine. This was a good strategy because by skipping my mask, my pores really needed some deep cleaning!

To start my test, I washed my face gently with face wash and dried my skin. After my skin was thoroughly dry, I wet my nose and under my eyes with cool water, then, I applied the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip to my nose. I allowed the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip to dry on my nose and sit for fifteen minutes. After fifteen minutes, I gently peeled off the Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strip.

After peeling the pore strip, I wash shocked! Ew, was more like it. All of the dirt from my pores was stuck to the strip staring back at me. Well, now that my pores were clean, I was mortified at how dirty they had been before using Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips!

Now that I have tried out Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips, I am definitely going to use them once a week. They get out all of the deep down dirt inside pores which is next to impossible to clean out myself.  My rating? Five out of five stars!

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?!
