YSL Age Expert Yeux

Age Expert Yeux is an anti ageing, anti-puffiness and anti-dark circle cream for eyes from the well known designer brand Yves Saint Laurent. I have actually tried this product and I like it. My eyes appear more youthful than before and smoother. More radiant and restored. When I get my rest I look amazing. I do still have bags under my eyes from staying up late night writing for my dear readers but overall I do like this product. It also contains a very wonderful ingredient. Age Expert contains the Ganoderic Fraction (an alternative to DHEA) - an exclusive active ingredient, capable of reactivating the vital functions of the epidermis. You can purchase this online at fine department stores such as Barney's. At some sites they are sold out so you may have to search a little. I bought the last one online at retailer who is now sold out as well. Works great though.

I've Got The Magic

Adidas y-3 Torsion Heel



"I've got the magic in me, Every time I touch that track it turns into gold." Oh course you know these are lyrics from B.O.B's new track "Magic" with Rivers Cuomo on hook. It also has been featured as background music to the new Adidas MEGA Diner commercial featuring Bobby Ray Simmons Jr. B.O.B is the latest spokesperson for Adidas and I would say it is working. I took a look at the new Adidas Line and it is pretty impressive especially the ones from their Y-3 line designed by Tokyo designer Yohji Yamamoto. The Y-3 design is cutting edge and fresh and new as you can see by the Torsion Heel and Cushioned Wedge pictured. The commercial is dead on target with the served up fresh concept from their MEGA Diner ad with Mr. Simmons. The styles that I have seen from Adidas including their sweet footwear from the Honey Line are flly! Visit Adidas, Zappos, Foot Locker or other retailers that carry Adidas Brand Footwear. If you haven't seen the commercial yet or are just dying to see it again you can click here. My favorite track for this week is of course "Magic" by B.O.B. It's fast paced, energetic and eclectic in its sound. Plus I really do think Bobby sounds a lot like Andre 3000 from OutKast in his rhymes.

M*A*C Studio Tech

MAC Studio Tech

Today's post is a reader's favorite. Fan favorite from Keyonia W. is MAC's Studio Tech. For all of you makeup fans out there I'm sure you are no stranger to MAC's Studio Tech line. Our reader loves it because of the great coverage it gives her skin and the rich color and tone she gets from it. Although not recommended Keyonia says that even when she goes to bed with her makeup on she can wake up in the morning and  her makeup will still look fresh and evenly distributed on her face. Way to go MAC! Studio Tech goes on creamy and not cakey. Stefaney at MAC recommends using a brush to evenly distribute the product for a flawless look. Using your fingers or a sponge will not only help you to run out of the tech faster but also does not give the same professional look. Based on reviews I would not suggest using this product alone without a base such as a primer or a concealer. Studio Tech is lightweight and not thick which helps when wearing makeup all day. I also tried this product out and typically when wearing makeup my face would itch and be very uncomfortable. I wore this product all day with no problems.I received full coverage with no itching or needing to reapply. Just when wearing this I would recommend washing your face, using and toner and moisturizer because you will need all these steps to completely remove all traces of the makeup. All in all I give Studio Tech a 9 out of 10 only because there was no perfect shade for my skin. I had to go slightly lighter or slightly darker. The difference was not major but I did not like the fact that my face was a different shade than my neck :(
