I really like this Frankincense essential oil. I have to admit that I hadn’t heard of this one before trying it but I really like using it in the aroma diffuser that I have. It has a pleasant woody smell. I also heard that it is good for colds and I am planning to try it next time I have a cold. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend.

Are you looking for a new Makeup Mirror? I think I just found the perfect one! This one is a BACK-TO-BACK MIRROR! It is a  7-inch round vanity mirror. Can’t get enough of yourself on the 1X side? Then swivel to the 10x magnifying side to check yourself up close and personal. This mirror really is the perfect size and a must-have in the bathroom. The Mirrorvana MVT7A10X proudly stands 14″ tall, weighs 1.3 pounds and measures 7 inches from left to right. The MVT7A10X also has a felted bottom, a detachable base and can be reversed forward or backwards along its 360 degree trajectory. Basically, it is the perfect size and I love that the mirror can be tilted.

I have to admit that I was a bit leery about receiving a mirror from online. I thought that there may be a possibility of receiving a broken or shattered mirror but I was quite impressed with how this one was packaged. It was securely packed with three layers of protection (foam + inner box + outer box).

Look for it this holiday season at http://mirrorvana.com/ and on Amazon.com.

Looking for a great holiday beauty gift? The Conture Kinetic Skin Toning System is really something that you should check out!

I was actually quite impressed with this beauty must-have! What is it? Basically it is a non-invasive, at-home cosmetic device designed to treat signs of aging quickly, effectively and painlessly. The device works to gently lift and release targeted skin zones with sonic vacuum technology, simulating skin to go immediately from a sluggish state to a more active state, resulting in enhanced appearance, absorption and overall health of skin. The retail price is $199.

Conture is equipped with three anti-aging topicals that should be applied before using the device for optimal results. In love with your skincare routine? Conture helps to amplify the efficacy of your products!

• Conture Kinetic Moisturizing Serum: A complete anti-wrinkle serum formulated with the revolutionary peptide SNAP-8, which has been clinically proven to reduce crow’s feet alone by up to 63%.
• Conture AM Moisturizing Crème: A daily use moisturizing, anti-age lotion designed for all skin types. This lightweight, yet intensive moisturizer hydrates skin while helping the skin to retain essential moisture. Featuring Hyaluronic Acid, an ingredient naturally found in skin, which helps to minimize the appearance of ‑ne lines and wrinkles.
• Conture PM Moisturizing Crème:  An intensive night crème that helps the skin recover while you sleep. Featuring a unique blend of encapsulated Retinol, Longevicell, and Adaptonyl that together dramatically improve skin barrier function and the skins own ability to remain healthy and at peak performance. The result is beautiful, healthy skin that looks and feels younger.

My skin actually felt so refreshed after using and wrinkles actually do seem less noticeable. Yes, they are still there! I haven’t quite found a miracle sure for removing them completely! But, less noticeable is a great thing!
