Review: Merle Norman Luxiva Renew Skin Refinishing Complex

I started using this product about 2 years ago.  My esthetician used it on me during my facial.  I liked the smell of it.  I asked for a sample.  I used it in place of a night time moisturizer.  I have oily skin, but I still wanted something for my skin.  My esthetician told me that this serum basically helps bring your newest skin cells to the surface.  I LOVE IT!  A little bit goes a long way and it is not thick or slimy.  My skin absorbed it quickly.  It has a nice citrus type of smell.  I don't typically use it in the morning, unless I am not going to wear make up that day.  This product keeps my skin feeling soft and I can tell that is so much more smooth than when I don't use it.  I use it after I cleanse and tone my skin.

I purchased this product at my local Merle Norman for around $40.  For me, one bottle of 1 FL OZ. lasts about 8 to 10 months.

Yo amo al maquillaje! I love make-up!

When I was little, I remember finding my mother's stash. Stash of what, you ask? Her stash of make-up! I didn't even know what it was called, but I knew to put it on my face. Who cares if I looked like the town idiot. It was truly love at first sight.

I intend for this blog to be about make-up/cosmetics, perfumes, and just a place where we can all come together and discuss products.

For the past couple of years, my favorite brand has been Bobbi Brown, but I am branching out into the world of MAC, ELF (hey, it's cheap and when the husband on you about the $ you spend on make-up, it will do). I'm open to trying new techniques, but my style is more natural.

 Please leave comments and let me know what you think so far.
