fortyaday says "The secret to soft, even toned skin." about SK II Facial Treatment Essence

fortyaday — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:19:44 GMT

This is the product of the skin care line that is touted above all others since it contains the highest concentration of a yeast extract that supposed to make your skin softer, more even toned, etc. ( The company claims it helps to speed up cell turnover. )My experience has been exceptional with this product. I've been using this product for about 2 years and my skin is consistently even toned. Because of this, I don't need to use as much makeup as before. If I were to recommend 1 product from this line, this Facial Essence would be it. SK II has been a very popular "department store brand" in Asia for many years. Even brides-to-be will start using this skincare line a year in advance to look their best on the big day.

fortyaday says "Light but Moisturizing Eye Gel." about SK II Advanced Eye Treatment

This eye gel is very light, moisturizing, and just feels like water that doesn't evaporate on your skin. It's not greasy so it won't clog your pores and cause little bumps under the eyes (which take several months or a trip to the dermatologist to remove). My only wish was that it had a sunscreen in it and was less expensive, but a little does go a very long way. This is a "department store brand" that has been popular in Asia for years....

fortyaday says "Foundation You Can Breathe in!" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

This product is very natural looking, easy/ quick to apply (no more sponges or particular ways to apply as with liquid foundation), and long lasting. The foundation (loose powder consistency) holds up very well to my oily skin. Basically, the product "mixes" with your the oils in your skin to create your look. If you have dry skin, moisturizing would be a good idea beforehand. Also, the shades not only come in what is available in the introductory kits, but also individual shades so you don't have to do any mixing if you don't like to do this. These are available at the BareEscentuals stores and even Sephora carries many of them....

fortyaday says "No more stains on clothes!" about Adidas 24 hour Absorbent-Deodorant Fitness Fresh

fortyaday — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 08:43:53 GMT

This is one of the few deodorants on the market that don't contain aluminum (which creates those yellow stains)...so you can keep those white shirts. However, because of the lack of aluminum it doesn't last as long in keeping odor away as long. It handles sweating fairly well too, but "heavy" sweating may require something stronger....
