Strivectin - 20% Off & Free Shipping

I love Strivectin Anti-Aging products. I have become a fan since my early days trying out their line through Costco. Costco has great pricing on products which allows you to try new products at a discounted rate. Then you can decide for yourself if you want to continue along with a particular line that has proven itself effective.

Sign up now with Strivectin's "Inner Circle Rewards" to receive their emails and special offers. Right now, you can get 20% off and free shipping! and don't forget to use this CODE at checkout "2397164" New signups sometimes get $25.00 off an order of $100.00 or more!

A great way to introduce yourself to their products is to try one of their Starter Sets. This gives you a sampling of the line and doesn't break the bank! 

Several products that I love to use are:

1. Strivectin-TL Tightening Face Serum

2. Strivectin-SD Intensive Concentrate ro Stretch Marks and Wrinkles

3. Strivectin Neck Serum Roller 

It may seem a little expensive, but it is really worth the investment. It is definitely cheaper than a face lift and a lot less painful!

What's in Your Makeup Bag?

On most days I am either too lazy or too tired to put on makeup. Then later in the day if I catch my image I yell at myself (internally that is) and wonder who that tired, bland woman is. Let me clarify, I am not a heavy makeup wearer, but more a try-to-enhance-what-you-have kind of person. I love to go makeup free so I don't beat up my pores, but as I age I find that there are some things that just need a little extra help! Since most days I can't get up early enough to put makeup on at home, I have taken to carrying a small bag with me with some essentials to spruce up with at work.

I'll open my bag and dump out the contents, here's what I have inside:

• A tube of Garnier Nutrishioniste "Skin Renew" anti-puff eye roller (good stuff, I have the Olay anti-puff tube at home and believe me it feels good and works).
• A small travel version of ROC Retinol Correction Eye Cream which claims to visibly reduce wrinkles around the eyes, crow's feet, dark circles and puffiness (bring it on!)
• A travel container of Elizabeth Arden's ultra restorative ceramide capsules (says it helps strengthen skin's barrier against the visible signs of time-YES! When I run out it will be a huge splurge to replace).
• A tube of generic concealer to mask dark circles and dark spots on my skin. I also use it before my base to tone down redness in small areas.
• Currently I am using Covergirl's natureluxe liquid foundation. It goes on smoothly and quickly and has an sps of 10  (I like fast, uncomplicated makeup applications). coupon offer
• An inexpensive, self contained mineral powder with built in powder puff applicator and mirror (quick, easy and non messy for travel).
• Clinque #110 precious posy blush, (this was a splurge, but I love the color and it is lasting forever!)
• A cheap  eyebrow pencil for filling in the outer edges of my eyebrows that seem to be balding away, ughhh!
• Almay's crayon contour eyeliner pencil for lining my eyes (I love this product).
• A tube of Rimmel Lash Accelerator, both a mascara and lash treatment (I love how it goes on and separates my lashes and gives them length. They seem fuller). And look Zooey Deschanel is a model on their website, I didn't know that! Cute!!
• A tiny sample tube of Clinque's high impact mascara that I received for free. (still testing, no impression yet)
• An inexpensive lip lining pencil.
• And lastly a small bottle of Advil (never without headache relief!), a comb, a tooth flossing pick in a plastic wrapper (what?), a pearl baby barrette and a tiny suction cup (I have no clue).

I can honestly tell you that most of these makeup items were purchased with a coupon at Target. The specialty creams were purchased during specials at Costco (I'm in big trouble when they run out) and I buy generic whenever possible.

It doesn't always have to cost a lot to look nice!

Olay Discounts and "Like Mom, Like Daughter" Sweepstakes

Please! Please! Vote for me!....

I am sending this out into Cyberspace to help me win a sweepstakes contest! I don't enter these very often, but this one called out to me. I love Olay products and I love New York, so I am crossing my fingers that I can win. Because it is based on a facebook voting system, you would have to "like" the Olay page, then scan the 50 finalists for my post and then vote. I am listed under Irene H.

As you can probably guess from my blog name, I am over fifty and I do use their products on a regular basis. I use Regenerist Micro-Sculpting  cream in the morning and at night (when I remember) and I love their Regenerist Anti-Aging eye roller. It really works to help banish puffiness and soften the look of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. I find it especially helpful in the morning to help reduce puffy bags that may appear!

I hope you will vote for me! Help send a mom and daughter to New York, complete with a makeover and Olay products and I promise I will share the adventure with you through my blog! Your vote also enters you into the contest to win Olay prizes. Please and Thank You.

Please go here to check on coupons and samples from OLAY!
