Update - L'dara Anti-Aging Serum

I have been using the L'dara Anti-Aging Serum for over a month now and thought there was no better time to do an update ...

I am still loving the serum and have been appling it to my face and neck twice a day - morning and night.  Looking in the mirror, I really didn't notice a lot of difference in my skin - it just seemed smoother and clearer ... That was until I took my "after" picture.  Before I started on my new L'dara regime, I took my obligatory "before" picture and as I wanted to update you all on my progress, I took my "after" picture this morning.  I will let you be the judge (excuse the bare face but I wanted you to get the true picture).


I think it's working for me, and am excited to see what the next few months bring ... thank you L'dara!!!  Here's to aging gracefully and without wrinkles =)

If you'd like to try L'dara Anti-Aging Serum, both marketing partners and preferred customers pay the same price.... $108 plus provincial taxes here in Canada, and both programs offer a free bottle your next month when you refer 3 people through your personalized web site

New Beauty Products to Try

I recently just signed on as a preferred customer with an environmentally friendly company that manufactures all-natural products called Melaleuca.

What I like about Melaleuca is they don't use any sort of chemicals, especially formaldehyde, peroxide, ammonia and phosphates. They adhere to the FDA's rule very seriously, and market products that provide consumers with safer, less toxic products at superior quality and better prices! What's not to like?

Melaleuca has everything from vitamins, cleaning and laundry products to weight loss and pet products. What I'm most excited to try are their beauty, bath/body and hair care.

I placed my first order last week and it arrived today ...


Sei Bella Mini Eye Shadow Palette
I love the colors in this palette (Raisin, Blushing Coral and Brown Sugar) and can see this becoming a favorite. We'll see how easy they go on and if they last throughout the day.


Body Satin Hand Creme

With living in Western Canada and with our cooler fall and cold winter temperatures, I am obsessed with finding a good hand cream for my annoying dry itchy skin. According to their website, this hand cream has a "blend of shea, cocoa, and mango butter with firming Egytian blue lotus flower and powerful antioxidants found in white tea and vitamin E"

I did try this as soon as I opened the package and was pleasantly surprised. The lotion wasn't greasy at all and absorbs quite quickly. It has a super smooth texture with a really light scent.


Renew Intensive Skin Therapy

This is supposed to be Melaleuca's Holy Grail moisturizer helping provide relief to conditions such as eczema, and is scientifically proven tο bе more effective thаn Eucerin. Hmmmm ... I'll give it a whirl and see how great it really is.


Sei Bella Repair Hair Masque

With my hair being color treated, it often feels dry and brittle (I'm sure the cold winter weather doesn't help LOL) so was looking for a good deep conditoner. According to the information on the website, this "hair masque" is supposed to help by providing color protection, anti-breakage protection, and thermal and UV protection. I'll give this one a try also and see how well it works.


The last product I purchased isn't a beauty product, but one of Melaleuca's soy candles. I love candles and figure you can't go wrong with a burning a candle that gives off a nice scent - this one is their Cranberry Orange scent.



I will report back in a short while to give my review of these products.  If you've tried any of Melaleuca's products, what did you think??

If you'd like to know more about Melaleuca, this blog will answer most of your questions.

Mini Dior Haul

I had been wanting to try some of the Dior palettes for some time, but because of their price I was a bit reluctant.  After reading/seeing so many positive reviews on the palettes, I decided to go for it and the two I purchased were:

5-Colour Eyeshadow Rosy Tan


How gorgeous is that palette ... Colors include: light pink, chocolate brown, ivory pearl shimmer, silvery taupe shimmer and taupe


5 Couleurs Couture Colour Eyeshadow Palette - Mitzah Mitzah

I love the colors in this palette ... not to mention the jungle print. Shades include: chocolate brown shimmer, golden tan shimmer, camel sheen, ivory beige shimmer and deep khaki gray shimmer.


The third Dior palette I received was in a MUA swap.  For those of you not familiar with Make Up Alley, it is a beauty community featuring product reviews, a makeup swap and message board.


Dior Ready to Wear Palette

This palette includes four eyeshadows, two lip glosses, a blush, a three-tone bronzer and mini brush applicators.



I'm very much looking forward to trying all three Dior palettes and will post a follow-up review in the near future.
