I was given a choice of which of their products I would like to try, and I chose the Camu Advanced Youth Recovery Serum.  I had looked in the mirror just a day or so prior and seen just how old I was starting to look.  The opportunity to try this product couldn't have come at a better time for me,

My Review:
I have been using the product now for just over a week and I have loved it since day one!
Right from the start I noticed how soft it made my skin feel.  It's not just soft right after applying either.  The softness remains all day and even after washing my face the next morning before applying the product again.

I see noticeable differences in my wrinkles too.  I have a permanent wrinkle on one side of my face. I'm told it's because that is the side that I sleep on.  This is now much less noticeable and I can no longer feel the wrinkle by touch.
The same goes with the crows feet around my eyes.  I can no longer feel them with my fingers.

It's a 1 oz bottle and it's a good sized bottle.  The serum easily pumps out and a little bit goes a very long ways.  This means that the product won't be gone in just a few weeks of use.

I look forward to continuing to use the Youth Recovery Serum and continuing to see the results on my face and neck.  This is by far the best skincare product I have used.

Frugal Friday's Linky**Budgeting Beauty--How To Save on Essentials**

 This week I've been asked to share saving tips on how to budget beauty.  I am happy to pass these along with the links.  There are some great tips given!



When it comes to shaving our budgets, most ladies put beauty products in the "need" category. A study commissioned by Mintel validates this assumption, reporting consumers spent $2.32 billion on shampoo and $1.71 billion on conditioner in 2010 alone.
So what's the best way to save on essentials without resorting to dollar-store cosmetics? Here are nine tips to keep both your beauty and your budget intact.
1. Hair Products
Consider extending the life of your shampoo (and hair color) by using dry shampoo or baby powder in between washes. When using shampoo and conditioner, check out these great tips and best bargain buys from DailyFinance.com.
2. Hand Soap
Foam hand soap is all the rage these days, and one of the easier beauty products to DIY. Refer to EHow.com's recipe for specific instructions, but ultimately all you need is a lot of water, a bit of soap and a few drops of essential oil.
3. Makeup Brushes
In addition to extending the life on pricey makeup applicators, regularly cleaning your brushes is just the sanitary thing to do. And if you really need replacements, consider a tip given to me by a MAC Cosmetics artist; buy art brushes at craft stores for a fraction of the price!
4. Foundation
Whether you're a liquid, powder or mineral foundation girl, you can use less of this beauty staple by applying a base before application. The Magic Perfecting Base by L'Oreal is a favorite among top fashion magazines, and is available for less than $12 from Walmart and Target.
5. Fragrance
Let's be honest -- designer fragrances are among the most expensive beauty purchases, with $80 buying less than 6 ounces of product. If you can't part with your signature Chanel scent, buy gift cards at a discounted rate for retailers selling your fragrance and enjoy immediate savings.
6. Body Lotion
Moisturizing is a must for anyone who wants to avoid the shar pei-look at 50, but lotion gets pricey when you see the words "illuminating," "firming" or "age-defying" on the label. Unless you have a serious skin issue, consistent use of most drugstore moisturizers is sufficient.
7. Hair Color
Prolong your color-treated hair between salon visits using household ingredients. Brunettes can use a strong pot of cooled coffee and blonds can use a lemon juice-water mixture. Apply the treatment after shampooing, let sit for 15 minutes, then rinse, condition and style as usual.
8. Hair Accessories
Today's trendy hair accessories can be homemade for a fraction of salon and department store prices. Channel your inner domestic goddess and create one-of-a-kind hair candy with beads, feathers and artificial flowers found in craft stores.
9. Less is More
There's no need to wear your entire cosmetics collection every day of the week. Consider giving your wallet a break by opting for the basics during mellow workdays or lazy weekends. For tips on how to pull off the "au natural" look, refer to Real Simple's step-by-step instructions.

Thinking on Thursday - Pondering with a Purpose 2/24/11

This week's prompt is: Beauty

The word beauty reminds me of the saying that beauty is what is on the inside, not what is on the outside. Or, beauty is only skin deep.  This is the way everyone should look at it, but most don't.  I'm guilty myself of judging from the outside!

I am no raving beauty, nor have I ever been.  Everywhere I go it seems that I see at least one other female that I say--"I wish I could look like that."  Sad, but true.

I'm happy that those that love me, see my beauty within.
