Beauty Spotlight “What’s in my…” – My Mom’s Turn

May 5th, 2012

In honor of Mother’s Day in the US next weekend, I thought I would give you a peek into my lovely Momma’s bathroom cabinet. As you can see, there are many MANY brands that are available on QVC – my mom is the one that introduced me to ~~my dirty little secret~~ the shopping channel.

Some of her favorites, including some not purchased from the tv, are:

Dr. Denese SPF 30 Defense Day Cream

Philosphy “Amazing Grace” Spritz, but really anything in that scent

Elizabeth Arden “Red Door” – this has been her go to scent for I don’t know how many years now

RoC Skincare Deep Wrinkle Serum

Laura Geller Tinted Under Make-Up Primer, and she also loves the Balance N Brighten, too (*not shown)

Lierac Gentle Cleansing Water No-Rinse Formula for Face and Eyes (*no longer available, but now she keeps sneaking peeks at my new “Velvet Cleanser”)

Philosphy “The Oxygen Peel”

Kate Somerville Quench Hydrating Face Serum (*pretty sure this was my bottle that Mom swiped after she finished hers)

I would like to point out the DIY pencil/brush holder I made for my mom with beads and a rectangle vase from Hobby Lobby. My mom has neuropathy in her hands, so it is very difficult for her to pick small things up off of flat surfaces. This holder makes it so much easier for her to grab her brushes and her eye products, as she is NOT giving any of those up. Especially these:

RevitaBrow – (*remember when I told you about my mom and RevitaBrow?)

Laura Geller Brow Marker

Smashbox Brow Tech To Go

Mally Beauty Automatic Eyeliner in “Black Cherry” (*of COURSE there is Mally in there, and I was *wondering* where that color went…)

So, I don’t think it is too hard to figure out where I get my love of beauty products (and QVC), do you? Tell me – do you get your love of beauty from your Momma, or has she picked up a few tricks from you?

(…yeah, I am sure I will use that reference *waaay* too much). Anyway…

I ordered a coat from QVC, (double breasted wool peacoat, btw), and in the box was a 4oz bottle of Philosophy’s Amazing Grace Perfumed Firming Body Emulsion, (hell of a name, eh?), which I *didn’t* order. I looked on the site, and I can’t even find any kit, etc., that even has this size bottle in it. So, I am going to consider this a deluxe sample GWP. Thanks, QVC.

Now, my problem is that I don’t really care for the scent of Amazing Grace. Just too powdery for me. However, as it is winter and I do get the itchies, I am always on the lookout for a good lotion. If the scent goes away quickly, then I wouldn’t mind using it, but if it lingers, then, meh.

But, I am also curious about this “firming” it claims. This size doesn’t seem like I would really see any results from it in this amount of time to encourage me to purchase this again. So, I ask you – have any of you tried this and is it worth my time to use it, ignoring the smell? Tell me true…
