IT Cosmetics Live, Love, Laugh Anti-Aging Vitality Face Disc


Defining your bone structure effortlessly is what you can expect from IT Cosmetics Live, Love, Laugh Anti-Aging Vitality Face Disc.  This is a huge whooper of a compact with bronzer, blush, and highlighter that will do more for your face combining those different hues for spectacular radiance and dimension than imaginable!


The sleek black compact is made out of a rubberized type of plastic that snaps shut and comes equipped with a large mirror.  Half of this giant compact contains bronzer, a gorgeous soft tan shade that is matte and void of any garish orange tone along with a blush and highlighter.  

The powder is finely milled with beneficial anti-aging ingredients like hydrolyzed collagen, acai, green tea, and vitamins A, C, and E that also treat your skin unlike some others I have used for a velvety effect.  This waterproof and sweat-proof formula goes on beautifully without being overly powdery or chalky and has wonderful staying power worn over the coarse of an average day.  It also is very pigmented so you need to use a light hand when applying or you will need to wipe some off.

The blush included is universally flattering in my opinion for anyone despite their coloring.  I would describe the shade as a medium natural pink with gold gleam throughout for warmth.  The result for cheeks is a look of healthy vitality with a bit of the sun shining with a delicate shimmer.  

The highlighting powder is a becoming pearly white champagne color.  The magic behind it is how subtly it illuminates to cast a soft sheen to my cheekbones.  No big specks of glitter will pop out only a beam of light.

In the photo going from left to right is the highlight, blush, and bronzer by my wrist.

Here is where I swatched the Vitality Face Disc for you.

Together the three products in this awesome one compact will save you time and money.  You won't need to ever fumble through your stash for individual products again with everything you need in one compact.  Another thing to think about is the money you'll save buying one product over several.  The costs of individual bronzer, blush, and highlighters usually exceed the price of $38 for this Live, Love, Laugh Anti-Aging Vitality Face Disc compact. 

Honestly, this is a great compact worth your attention.  Do check it at IT Cosmetics, QVC and QVC.com and theshoppingchannel.com in Canada--and glow like the star you are!

Share, Love, Celebrate the Best of P&G product assortment

Procter & Gamble products are everywhere in my home.  In fact, I grew up in a household that also relied heavily on those brands because they were a great value, top performers, and often award-winning products.  

Even before my box of P&G products arrived from this SheSpeaks assignment, I made a quick inventory.  Secret Deodorant, Olay Regenerist, and an Aussie Hair Spray were on my vanity.  My makeup bag held quite a few Cover Girl cosmetics.  In my bathroom, I found Crest toothpaste,  Herbal Essences Shampoo, Oral B Brushes, Scope Mouthwash, and Charmin Toilet Tissue.  Traveling through the rest of the rooms, I noticed several boxes of Puffs Tissues on end tables and night stands were in handy reach.  A blue bottle of Dawn Dish Washing Liquid was on my kitchen sink.
  
I could go on finding their products if I took more time to keep searching; however, I would be here all day because I do buy a lot of them!  No doubt, their brands also play a large part in your own life as well.  Therefore, I hope you didn't miss all those money-saving coupons for some of P&G’s “Most Loved” products that went out as an insert in your March 31 newspaper.  Look for their brandSAVER® coupon booklet because it can save you a bundle when shopping.  I already clipped mine and plan to restock.

Other wonderful news is that P&G now offering printable coupons on their website.  Take advantage and check it out.

Learn more about P&G and connect with them so you'll always be in the loop with good deals and update on new product launches.  Be sure to follow them on Twitter, Facebook, and do bookmark their website.

Love Comes in All Forms!

rabbit.jpeg
Love transcends species.


My apple tree that produced all those delicious pies finally needed to be chopped down last summer.  The tree became infested with bugs.  It was painful for my family as well as the squirrels and deer that fed on the apples, but it was the only decision to be made.

The squirrels were vocal when I went outside the day after the tree came down.  Out of nowhere, they gathered in the surrounding trees in my backyard and made a ruckus around me, an angry chattering sound, like they were yelling at what I had done.  And those rascals kept it up until I went back inside.

The Rabbit and Its Love of Bread


Out of guilt, I decided to leave some bread on that stump in hopes of shutting them up.  The bread remained for a while but later that afternoon I looked out my kitchen window and saw something unusual--a rabbit was on my stump eating pieces of my homemade bread.

Now I don't know about you and the animals where you live, but a bread eating rabbit is rare in my neck of the woods.  So when I saw the rabbit finished what I left, I decided to see if it would come back the next day if I left more.

After I prepared another mixing bowl of bread pieces, I headed toward the stump before returning inside to watch from my window.  Shortly after, I saw the hedges move near the stump and that rabbit emerged.  Once again it went to my stump and ate every bite.

A day or two later I decided to leave the bread but remain in the yard to see what would happen. The rabbit stayed in one part of the yard and waited until the stump had its bread before hopping over to eat.

Love is constant despite the species.


Whenever I saw that rabbit I would hurry downstairs with my mixing bowl of bread and go outside.  I named it Bread-eater because over the rest of that summer we became good friends.  Bread-eater would see my silver mixing bowl and hop closer toward the stump--and me as I remained closer each time.

A Mother's Love Is Universal Regardless of Form


Bread-eater finally trusted me enough to bring her baby to the stump.  Watching that rabbit nudge that tiny bunny up toward the bread was something I'll never forget--the love a mother shows for its young, regardless of species.  Bread-eater was a good mom!
