Eclose Plant Stem Cell Eye Cream Review

I was at Walgreens the other day when I came across the Eclose skin care brand in the skin care aisle. I decided to take a closer look at their Plant Stem Cell Restorative Eye Cream. This eye cream uses plant stem cells derived from labs in Switzerland to help firm the skin around the eye area and help the skin around the eyes keep up their own stem cells while reducing the signs of aging and smoothing wrinkles around the eyes. The product box contains a lot of helpful information about the product. And the formula is paraben-free!

When I first tried to dispense the product it took about 9-10 pumps before the product pumped out. The product consistency is creamy without being heavy. A generous pea-size amount was easily pat into my under eye area and absorbed after minimal patting effort. The product went on white and absorbed clear. I did not experience a strong product scent and I did not experience any eye irritation or greasy-ness. I applied the product over my serum and moisturizer as my final skin care step. The product box says it is safe for use in the morning and evening.

So far the verdict is good on this eye cream! I'll keep you updated on the results of this cream on my dry and sensitive winter-time under eye area!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Spotted: Target, CVS, and Walgreens Beauty Deals week of 12/10

If you're a fan of Sally Hansen Salon Effects then check your local Target for a clearance! I spotted a couple snakeskin patterns for $4.38 each!

CVS beauty clearance is continuing this week. TONS of Revlon and Milani 75% off. I have checked multiple CVS locations in the Chicago city area (downtown and south side) and not everything on the nouveaucheap list is on sale but it's worth a try! Scan the items listed on nouveaucheap.com 's post at the savings kiosk to check the price of items. Good luck!

Also, forthemommas.com posted an amazing deal for free Simple brand makeup wipes that I plan to take advantage of. More details are in the photo screen shot from forthemommas.com. Thanks Shannon!

Happy Shopping!




CVS and Sephora Hauls for Review

Today was my day off and what better to do when I'm not making money but to spend money??? I spent today couponing and shopping! I found a great deal today at CVS! First off, I have been dying to try the new Clear line of shampoos and conditioners. This week I saw Walgreens was having a 2/$10 deal with $2 register rewards and 4,000 points. I planned on using this deal and a couple coupons from coupons.com before I scanned my Extra Care card at the CVS savings kiosk at CVS today. Behold; holiday magic! A $3 off one Clear shampoo or conditioner printed out! So I picked up a conditioner since I am still trying to use up a couple shampoo samples I have left from Birchbox. I combined the CVS printable with a $2 off one coupons.com manufacturer printable coupon and ended up getting the conditioner for $0.99! I plan on going back for a second print out and getting the Men's scalp therapy from Clear. There's an Ibotta deal for $1.75 off the scalp therapy. That will make it a $0.75 money-maker!!!

At Sephora I purchased the Urban Decay Naked Skin foundation in shade 1.0 and the new Bare Minerals Ready foundation in Fairly Light as a setting powder or light coverage. I can't wait to test and review these products!!!
