beauty marks

Last week I told you about my old time favorite Nivea Silky Shimmer Body Lotion, $9, that I've been using for about five years now. Although I adore the way it glistens perfectly in the light, I think it's time to try something new. I mean let's face it: they've made so many shimmery body creams within the last five years that I'm bound to be missing out on something fab if I don't start experimenting ASAP!

You guys were asked to go beauty marking to help me find a new awesome shimmer body lotion. I've checked your finds and I really like what I see. Here are a few that I've chosen to feature!

Beauty Mark #1 found by GirlInPink, is called Jergens Soft Shimmer Skin Radiance Moisturizer, $6. If this cream is anything like Jergen's original formula, I am sure it's great. Jergen's products have an awesome fragrance, they moisturize deeply and leave your skin feeling soft and supple. This one is infused with light reflectors for subtle radiance. I can't wait to try it.

I’ve been using Nivea Silky Shimmer Body Lotion, $9, for about five years now. What’s great about it is it’s the same formula as classic Nivea Body Lotion, only it's enhanced with shimmer that catches the light and gives you a little extra glow when you are going to a party or out at night.

I feel like it’s a bit much to wear everyday, but when I am putting on something new or special, it makes me feel great. I have about two more uses of it and then I’ll be ready for a new bottle. Perfect timing for all of you to go on a Beauty Marking mission to help me find a new, subtle yet sexy body shimmer lotion.

I've recently discovered this great new line called Cake Beauty where everything smells like desserts. Since I've got a major sweet tooth, I'm totally in love with this brand.

I got this amazing Cake Walk Triplemint Foot Creme, $16, about six weeks ago and I am already running out if it! I'm addicted. It's rich, creamy, thick and smells sweet but also has a hint of mint in it. When my dogs are barking and annoying, this cream really settles me down.

I thought if I could love a foot cream this much, then maybe you guys do too! Let's go beauty marking to find some more fabulous foot creams! Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up, and just tag your choices with foot cream. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Last week I asked you guys to come beauty marking with me to help me find a new self tanner for my body. I bought this Ban De Soleil Streakguard Self Tanning Creme, $9, but I am not in love with it. It's not awful, but it streaks a bit and I'm not crazy about the color on my skin tone. Your mission was to help find me something that would turn me into a gorgeous golden color as opposed to an icky orange one. To see all of the beauty marks for a self tanner for the body, click here. You guys all had great picks so thanks very much for participating!

Beauty Mark #1 found by foreverdizzy is called Decleor Aroma Sun Express Hydrating Self-Tan Spray, $36. Within one to two hours, this light, non-oily spray turns into a deep and natural looking tan. There is no sunscreen in this product though - so you can not wear it at the beach, but it's a great after sun lotion because it keeps your skin supple, glowing and hydrated!

If companies could understand that by creating just one awesome body bronzer that blends flawlessly into your skin and transforms you into a gorgeous golden goddess as opposed to an orange one, then you will be loyal for life. I've found a few facial self tanners that I love, but I have yet to find a body bronzer that makes me brand loyal.

Lately, I've been using Ban de Soleil's Streakguard Self Tanning Creme, $9, because I really like so many of their other products, but this time around I wouldn't say that it was love at first bronze. I think it's just eh - and I'm on a quest for something better.

I'd love it if you would all come beauty marking with me to help me find a new self tanner for my body! Be sure to come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up, and just tag your choices with self tanner for the body. To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to make one, click here.

Hey everybody! With all this Dress you Up! talk, can you help me on my search for an awesome new shaving cream or gel for the shower? I am looking for something that's going to make my legs and underarms feel and look silky smooth. I love a close shave and it would be ideal to find something gentle that won't irritate my skin.

I've been using my hubby's Kiehl's Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream, $15.50, but it doesn't smell very womanly and I feel like he should have something in the shower that's his alone!

Do you remember last week when I asked you to help me find a brand new medium coverage foundation to replace my old Prescriptives one? Although I think this one is great, the time has come to replace it. You gals did a phenomenal job of finding many more options for me. To see all of the beauty marks for a new, medium coverage foundation click here.

I have chosen three very different liquid foundations to feature so let's see what you all came up with!

Beauty Mark #1 found by atoxicsparkle is called Benefit Cosmetics Nonfiction Foundation, $30. This liquid foundation provides medium coverage and a flawless looking finish. It feels silky upon application and is available in ten shades to suit the myriad of skin tones out there.

In preparation for my wedding, my makeup artist told me to go to a Prescriptives counter and have them custom blend a medium coverage foundation for me. This type of coverage helps to prevent shine and hides flaws, redness and blemishes.

I'm not going to lie, custom blending is a bit costly, however, as your skin lightens or darkens with the seasons, Prescriptives will adjust the color for you at no extra charge.

The problem is that I got married a year and a half ago and I've still got this foundation lying around. I know that it's time to scrap it, but I just can't seem to find one that I like quite as much. Can you help me find a new foundation with the following criteria:

• It leaves my skin looking flawless and it's not too heavy.
• It looks very natural on and doesn't clog my pores.
• My skin won't look shiny or greasy when I wear it.

Let's all go beauty marking to find a perfect new medium coverage foundation! Please come back and tell me when your Beauty Marks are up, or just tag your choices with medium coverage foundation. To learn how to make a Beauty Mark, click here.
