The end of a happy week, and it’s all because I love my makeup!  Through the sweaty heat and thunderous rain my makeup made me feel sunny and bright.  My first makeup layer, Stila’s Illuminating Liquid Foundation.  Then a thin coating of Peter Thomas Roth Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder to set and help retain moisture.

Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder is lightweight and translucent so all skin-tones can wear it!  It’s triple milled so it’s velvety soft, anti-aging peptides and neuropeptides improve the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles.

The powder puff is a little wimpy but at the $31 price point very easy to look over, especially since I use my kabuki brush to apply.  The compact package is gorgeous! shiny black and is used in a key scene in the “Get Smart” movie, I’m just wondering if it has a telephone in it?! 

Even KAOS could not keep the key ingredients of Un-Wrinkle Pressed Powder a secret!  The compact is available exclusively on QVC and we now have the information that powerful anti-aging peptides come together to create a pressed powder that will fast become your favorite.  Press relief briefing uncovered the details…

• SYN-AKE Synthetic neuropeptide that mimics the wrinkle relaxing properties of an enzyme found in snake venom from the Brazilian Viper
• SYN-Coll Mimics the body’s own mechanism to produce collagen
• MATRIXYL 3000 - Collagen boosting dual-peptide that softens and smoothes the skin
• SNAP-8 - Neuropeptide that helps reduce the depth of wrinkles cause by facial expressions
• Argireline - Neuropeptide and Hexapeptide cocktail that prohibits muscles from contracting which prevents the formation of lines and wrinkles

Peter Thomas Roth Clinical Skin Care is a comprehensive collection of therapeutic skin treatments that use the most effective and potent ingredients.  There are over 100 products available!  which one is your favorite?

Kristen Bell says, “I Glow Safely”

Kristen Bell spent a lot of times outdoors shooting her new film, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and while some may hate the character Sarah Marshall, there’s lots to love about Kristen Bell.  Especially her new awareness building campagaign about the sun’s rays.  The sun can cause damage to your skin, make it look older and potentially lead to skin cancer, so take the extra step that will keep your skin looking younger and most importantly will keep you glowing safely!  Kristen has teamed up with The Skin Cancer Foundation and Jergens to create an awesome opportunity for self care - Glow Safely and be sure to take the pledge!

Nothing much going on at home, my mom is visiting and we’ve been busy knitting little beige bears for the girls. 

I also got a date night with my DH on Friday.  We went to a Gaucho’s “Brazilian Churrascaria”,  very Brazilian except there were no natives, no music, tiny 1/2 cup portion of black beans for two and that much of the thirteen meat selections were offered to us totally rare and dripping with blood.  I’m guessing they are a new restaurant and were caught unprepared by a small rush of people.  Def disappointed with the restaurant but at least I was in good company!

Then we went to see the movie Atonement, it was really good!  I loved the story and Keira Knightly is stunning.  I think I’m going to get my hair cut like hers soon.

The next morning we went to a kid’s amusement center, it was pretty good, LOUD and obnoxious but the kids loved it.  After that we went shopping and I got my Lancome goody bag and Lancome Aqua Fusion (I’ll review later).  The little bags are super cute!

I also went to the thrift shop and got an awesome dresser I’m going to distress to a shabby goodness and stuff somewhere.  So that’s about it, I’ll be back soon with some beauty product reviews.
