Still all Bright and Stuff: DHC Eye Bright (review)

Winter came back today with cold air and too much wind; but by golly it’s still sunny outside. So I’m staying in my silver lining mood for one more day, and talking about more brightness. From DHC.

Eye Bright

Blurb: Eye enlightenment. Promote healthy-looking skin around your eyes by reducing puffiness and brightening dark circles. Invigorate weary-looking eyes with cooling cucumber and revitalizing Isodonis japonicus (a Japanese botanical). You’ll notice a reviving soothing sensation the moment you apply this fast-absorbing, lightweight gel. The delicate skin around your eyes is especially susceptible to dryness, so Eye Bright is enriched with sodium hyaluronate—a superior moisture magnet.

This fabulous, fabulous product will brighten up any morning (or even an afternoon). Especially when the morning starts out with my eyes looking all dried out and puffy. This stuff makes everything so much better.

It soothes, hydrates, absorbs quickly, and makes my under eye puffiness and dark circles look better in minutes. The hydration also lasts, and I notice I need less concealer – even when my allergies are acting up.

Right now Eye Bright is on sale, so check out the website. The site is full of awesome stuff (most of which is now on my wish list). Don’t forget to browse the sale section, and order a catalogue (which often comes with samples).

And speaking of brightness – I forgot to mention that yesterday was the birthday of Dr. Seuss! (And also my friend, Rachel.) If you need a bit of brightness in your day, I suggest heading on over to Seussville and spending a few moments with your favorite character(s). Here's my personal favorite.)

Power Week: DHC Deep Cleansing Oil (review)

Happy Monday everyone! I’m in a really good mood. Instead of my usual over-thinking, over-worrying, over-everything tendencies; this weekend, I decided to let go of the controls and trust that things would be as they should. And they were. In the right circumstances, surrendering is a very simple and powerful thing.

Hmmm…I think I hear a tie-in approaching. Maybe two tie-ins (see below).

Here’s another simple and powerful thing. From DHC.

Deep Cleansing Oil

Blurb: Superstar. Try this amazing cleanser and you’ll see why it’s our most popular product worldwide. Dirt, excess oil, makeup—even waterproof mascara—and other pore-cloggers dissolve easily, leaving your face a grime-free zone that is soft to the touch. Its unique water-soluble formula rinses completely, so you’ll never see a greasy residue. Olive oil and vitamin E help ensure you won’t see dryness either.

Love this stuff! I got a few samples of this a while back and decided to try one on an overnight trip. I figured it would be easier than hauling around cleanser and makeup remover for just one night. I gave it a try, and now I’m a huge fan.

I put the oil on my hands, rubbed it all over my dry face, and rinsed. That’s it. And my face was absolutely thoroughly clean. It removed all of my makeup, and rinsed off easily and completely. My face was clean, soft, and not a bit greasy. My hands also felt really nice afterwards. I want to take this everywhere now.

DHC has a fabulous website. And their catalogue usually comes with samples. There’s also a great sale section, and…Fine Foods (I’m not kidding).

Besides the cheesy tie-in above, there’s another reason I labeled today’s post “Power Week.” Last night while I was driving home, I heard a song that fit my mood perfectly. Don’t you just love when that happens? (Answer: of course you do.)

I’m hoping you’ll still love it when you find out the song was from 1984. It’s a serious power ballad, and I’m going to embed it here for your listening pleasure. I also decided to make this a whole week of power ballads. So get out your air guitar, sing along on your hairbrush microphone, and stay tuned…

Your Thursday Face: DHC Velvet Skin Coat (review)

Hello everyone! I seem to back on schedule (fingers crossed). I finally got everything ready for my trip; and now I have a bit of beauty time before hopping in the car. This Thursday’s wonderful facial item is from DHC.

Velvet Skin Coat

Blurb: Prime time. Once you slide this inconspicuous primer between your skin and your foundation, you'll never know how you lived without it. It evens out coverage by filling in creases and fine lines and smoothing over rough patches, so your face appears flawless. The unique texture of this powdery gel is unlike any you've ever felt-it's not sticky or greasy. With its ability to keep oil in check, you'll even forget there were such things as makeup mishaps. Not for use on lips.

Sometimes there are so many new and fancy brands coming at me that I have to let my favorites languish for a bit. Today I need to take DHC out of “languishment” in order to remind everyone about how they just keep putting out consistently excellent products. I’m always amazed at their steady stream of high quality, useful, and super practical items.

I had never tried this primer until I got a sample, and now I wish I had checked it out sooner. The texture felt very slippery at first, then set to a weightless, matte finish (and a little bit went a very long way). It filled in some of my fine lines, smoothed over my pores and made an excellent base for my foundation. It also had superior shine control – definitely one of the best oil control products I’ve tried!

I highly recommend that you check out the website (I can spend hours there), browse the awesome sale section, and be sure to request a catalogue (they usually come with samples). And just in case you’re still not satisfied, DHC also sells Fine Foods (yes indeed, they really do)!
