Certain Dri 's Facebook Giveaway

Certain Dri is having a month long daily giveaway via their facebook page.

 I can tell you from personal experience that  Certain Dri works. It works far better than anything I've used over the counter. I first grabbed it when a best friend decided to get married in July in NJ. I've only found one anti-perspirant stronger and that's a prescription one.

Here's the details if you want to enter:


Certain Dri "100-Days of Summer" , an opportunity to win the leading, dermatologist-recommended product for controlling excessive underarm perspiration.

 For the 100 days from Memorial Day to Labor Day, Certain Dri is giving away one Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant every day. One random entrant will be chosen to receive a Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant (roll-on or solid) each day from May 27, 2011 to September 3, 2011. Every Friday at noon E.T., all seven winners from that week will be announced on the Certain Dri Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/certaindri


If you’re not familiar with Certain Dri, here is some information:

· The number one over-the-counter antiperspirant recommended by doctors for treating excessive perspiration; more than 40 millions adults and teens believe they have a problem with excessive perspiration

· The strongest available formula without a prescription
· Provides 72-hours of protection with each application
· Retail price of $5.50-$6, almost 30% less than the other clinical strength antiperspirant products

Laura Mercier Gel Lip Color

Laura Mercier came out earlier in Spring with new gel lipcolors.   Sheer but still packing pigment, these are great for summer wear. They look much darker in the tube than they are on the lips.

I love the feel  of these, very moisturizing and smooth with a  balm like feel.  The moisture comes from peach, apricot and almond oils.  The finish is a soft shine but not glossy .

 Shown is  mine in Hibiscus, a pretty medium pink. It went missing for a bit but I located the little devil so I could have a good image.

 Laura Mercier  gel lipsticks come in six shades and sell for $ 22.00.

It's available everywhere except Sephora (  meaning dept. stores)  and  http://www.lauramercier.com/

Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Sun Defense Stick SPF 50

Memorial Day weekend is behind us, and a heatwave is here. I saw a lot of red faces around this week so far. Did you use your sunscreen?

I love to always have a stick SPF handy and the new  Eight Hour Cream Targeted Sun Defense Stick SPF 50 PA +++ from Elizabeth Arden fits the bill perfectly. ( No red faces in other words).

The stick uses the company's vaunted Eight Hour Cream  as the name says , and  I was worried this might too heavy for me and loaded with moisture. Not a bad thing, but not good for me with my oily, perspiring skin poolside.  Too much moisture in face SPFs  has led to breakouts but  I want heavy sun protection.

 I'm happy to say that the stick is not that  heavy or greasy at all. In fact it's less so than some I've used in the past.  It's less creamy  than I expected  but still conditions skin while providing high SPF.  It's just right, really and great for lips, eye area , nose ,  ears etc.

 It goes on clear and really doesn't need blending in. There's very little scent so it's perfect for everyone in the family and has the Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation.

Arden says you get 8 hours of hydration  along with no PABA or oils, and it is
water-resistant and perspiration-resistant .

Available now for $ 20.00
