Wearing cosmetics is certainly not something we have to do to maintain our appearance. However, the choice to apply your favorite cosmetics for the day might make all the difference in your self confidence.  You can go light and airy during the day and then turn around and become a little more dramatic for a night out (just don’t forget to cleanse and moisturize after!). You can bring out those cheek bones, those beautiful eyes and luscious lips.

Because my skin is so sensitive I have to be cautious of what types of foundation, or any cosmetic for that matter, I apply.  I want my foundation to be very light weight, yet still be able to even out my skin tone and mask away the oil in my T-zone. Giella Custom Cosmetics does just as their name states. I reviewed a foundation and concealer that were made to match my skin and needs perfectly. I was asked a series of questions to determine my skin type and what would work for me. After that I received my custom foundation and a concealer within a week. The match is perfect. I can hardly feel the weight of it on my skin, and it maintains perfect coverage. Based on my skin type the foundation is made to reduce oil, produce firmness and a subtle glow. On top of all of the above, a little goes a long way. I only use a 1/2 pump for each application, I apply to my hand as pictured below and then apply with my foundation brush. Giella has met my expectations and more.

Have a favorite lip color that has become discontinued? I know that has happened to me, and then it is quite near impossible to find something even similar. Giella can take your old lipstick tube and match the color for you. Giella has the ability to meet all of your cosmetic needs. Aside from being able to match your favorite lip color, you can create an entire face with Giella as well as find the accessories to apply, the skin care needs for the base of healthy skin care and fancy nail polish.

We all have different skin types, that’s a give in. What varies is the product that works best with each of our skin types. Sometimes your lucky and find that perfect product right away, and sometimes it can take years. I’ve been fortunate recently to be able to test out perfect skin care products for myself, such as Perricone MD which has yet to fail me.

Dr. Perricone formulated Skin Clear to help treat acne and prevent new blemishes from surfacing. This prescription is unique in that it takes a holistic approach to acne skin care as it provides anti-aging benefits to prevent free-radical damage, improves skin’s tone and texture and helps to clear skin from the inside out and the outside in with a supplement program to attack the source of the problem. When combined with an anti-inflammatory diet as prescribed in several of Dr. Perricone’s books, the results are truly dramatic.

This gives you an overall description in so many words. I’ve been using the Perricone MD Skin Clear Cleanser and Toner, otherwise known as the Acne Mini Kit,  for about 3 weeks now. I love that you can feel each of them working. When you work the cleanser into your skin, you can feel the penetration and you just know that your pores are going to be clear. The toner feels refreshing and is easy and quick to apply after cleansing. I’ve noticed my skin actually looks and feels more bright and dew-like after using the toner. All you need then is a good moisturizer.

We have Dr. Nicholas Perricone to thank for the fabulous results that Perricone has helped to achieve. I will include and excerpt but urge you to click on his name and read in full detail his history.

Dr. Nicholas Perricone, MD, FACN, is a board certified clinical and research dermatologist, and CEO of NV Perricone MD, Ltd, a leading manufacturer and retailer of skin care products and supplements. A brilliant scholar, Dr. Perricone completed medical school in just 3 years, graduating with distinction. He completed his internship in Pediatrics at Yale Medical School and his Dermatology Residency at Ford Medical Center. Dr. Perricone is regarded as the Father of the Inflammation Theory of Aging.

Perricone MD has an answer for everyone, all different skin types. I can attest to the natural refreshing feel of them. When you enter the website you have several options for how you like to shop. I personally enjoyed browsing by “Regimen” to find what work best with my skin.  To achieve the best results using Perricone MD you can refer to Dr. Perricone’s resources online and in print.

The Giveaway:

Perricone MD has offered for one Through Hazel Eyes reader to win their very own Acne Mini Kit.
