SK-II was one of the fabulous sponsors for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York earlier this month. They handled the skin care routine for several of the designers who showed their fall 2015 collections during New York Fashion Week, and they also offered demonstrations of their products inside the tents for fashion show guests, and fashion insiders.

I had heard of SK-II’s products before fashion week, but had never tested them out before. When SK-II contacted me prior to fashion week, I jumped at the chance to test out their products. After all, my skin is aging, and it needs anything it can get to combat the test of time!

The SK-II Pitera Essence Set is essentially a facial in box. One of the best ways to keep skin youthful and hydrated is through a facial! For a busy mom like me, going to a spa for a facial seems like something done in a faraway land. I simply do not have time! So, I was thrilled to receive SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set since it is a facial I can give myself at home, on my own time. Love that!

The directions in the box are easy to follow, and the products are gentle, luxurious, and easy to use. The most relaxing part of the facial is the mask. My face has never been happier, and more relaxed! I love the results on my face from SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set. My skin is smoother, softer, and more vibrant than it was before I tested out the set. I am so excited!

I loved SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set so much, I am looking forward to testing out more of their products in the future.

geluxury slippers review cow

One of my biggest complaints about my feet is how my heels crack so easily! Nothing ruins a pair of Manolo Blahniks more than a pair of cracked, ugly heels. Ugh! I have tried using various brands of foot cream but nothing ever works miracles. So when Geluxury contacted me to review their Polygel Geluxury Slippers, I jumped at the chance!

Geluxury slippers make foot moisturizing simple. Instead of messing with different foot creams, which can leave a sticky film on your foot, Geluxury slippers have a rubber lining that is infused with therapeutic botanicals and ceremides including mineral oil, avocado oil, canola oil, jojoba oil, grape seed oil, soybean oil, olive oil and ceramides. This rubber lining is called “SmartGel” and I have decided it has an IQ over 170! 😉

After wearing Geluxury slippers for about half an hour a day, over the course of one week, my cracked heels went away! I couldn’t believe it. No buffing, no messy creams and no scraping! How easy is that?!

Geluxury slippers come in two fashionable and fabulous colors; “Cuddle Cow” and “Leopard.” Priced at $49.95, they are cheaper than a spa visit and perfect as a holiday gift. Love that!

Geluxury slippers can be found online geluxury.com.

If you have been following my blog for awhile, you already know I am a huge fan of Laura Mercier’s bath products. Laura Mercier’s honey bath collection is a luxurious line of bubble baths which offer moisturizing properties and warm fragrances. Laura Mercier’s line of souffle body creme is equally luxurious; offering warm fragrances and vitamin-packed moisture. Love that!

For the 2014 holiday season, Laura Mercier is offering a beautiful gift box with both the Golden Honey Musk honey and Golden Honey Musk souffle body creme together as a duet. Love it! These beautiful smelling skin care products would normally cost $53 when purchased separately, but as a duet, they are priced at only $50. Perfect holiday gift!

Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk Duet is a limited edition gift set for the holiday 2014 season. I love the idea of giving someone two of my favorite fragrant, skin care products in a pretty box. Golden Honey Musk is such a beautiful scent which is warm and ideal for the winter months. It makes the perfect gift!

I give both products in Laura Mercier’s Golden Honey Musk duet five out of five stars. I’m in love with this gift set!
