i-lite Makes Me Happy!

I've never been a "dark circle girl" but as I've gotten older I've noticed that I do have a little more pigmentation in that area and when I'm tired...it's really bad! So I've searched for the best concealers out there and made a few good choices for this area.

My top pick is by Dermablend as it's creamy and really covers.

My next "budget" pick is by Revlon as it's formula is very similar (not quite the coverage) but very creamy and it works pretty well.

However...no concealer lasts forever --especially the really creamy ones-- and using a long-lasting type just cakes up and looks dry. So as I stick to the creamy ones, I have found I need something to "set" it and create a non-cakey finish. Good luck, right?

I've tried minerals and powders and all kinds of things that promise a fine finish, but as a dry-skinned, over 40 gal (who also lives in the desert, I might add), none worked. Not until I found the Laura Mercier powder. It worked very well. But pricey and hard to get.

So, until I found my newest love (well, we've been together for over a year now), i-lite illuminating veil, I thought I was stuck with one pricey choice. However, I like this even better than Laura's blend (sorry, Laura) and it's cheap and oh-so-light. Plus...it whisks away those dark circles and other facial imperfections and set the concealer so it DOES NOT BUDGE.

If you have this problem and want a solution that works (I promise!), give it a try. You can get a little sample to try before you commit to a big pot... http://www.agelessbeautypro.com/

Facemaster vs. NuFace vs. Ultra Renew Plus (Truth in Aging) -- UPDATED

OK, I've been meaning to do this post for awhile. As an avid "anti-aging" skincare advocate (and licensed esthetician), I am pretty good at figuring out what's what with skincare and various products. But when it comes to home devices, it's hard to tell until you actually use it. I've used Facemaster for several years (6+), NuFace for about 5+ and Ultra Renew Plus for a few months. I feel equipped to give an unbiased review. Ready? Facemaster, the home lifting/anti-aging device by Suzanne Somers: I still use the two-prong device and haven't updated to the newer one-hand device, but all in all, this machine isn't bad. I used for several years and found that when used weekly, I got pretty decent results. Now, here's the caveat: You need some sort of conductive serum (Ms. Somers has one to use with it). I used hers as well as others (copper serums, aloe vera, etc.). The bottom line: Use something without oil. Aloe vera seems to work fine, bu...
