Beauty Marked! Clear Colored Pimple Banishers

I recently asked you all to go Beauty Mark It!

I recently asked you all to go Beauty Mark It! and help find me clear colored pimple banishers. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion is no doubt one of the best zit zappers out there but here's the thing: I walk my little Annabelle before bed and first thing in the morning and I can't have pink spots all over my face! I'm looking for a just as good pimple eliminator that is CLEAR.

To see all the Beauty Marks for this mission click here and below are my top three choices. Thanks all you Beauty Markers! To learn what a Beauty Mark is and how to do one click here.

Beauty Mark #1, found by swwonder is Burt's Bees Doctor Burt's Herbal Blemish Stick and I have heard this is a great pimple banisher and totally forgot about it! It is 99.90% natural and cleanses, refines and tones pores, while helping to normalize skin by correcting imbalances that create breakouts.

This New Years, Glam-o-Rama Gal will no doubt wear a fabulous, attention-grabbing jacket. She feels absolutely naked without a big dose of leopard so I thought this Alloy Leopard Print Jacket, $89.50, was perfect. And at this price, she doesn't have to feel at guilty about purchasing her drool-inducing shoes.

Serums, Serums Everywhere! Part I: Lifting & Energizing

I have recently written about hair smoothing serums, but serums for the face are entirely different.

I have recently written about hair smoothing serums, but serums for the face are entirely different. Facial serums have invaded the beauty market and with all the product overload I thought I'd break them down into categories for you to make your next beauty counter visit less overwhelming.

You may recall a post last week about the La Prairie Gold Face Serum and that was just the tip of the iceberg. This first installment of Serums, Serums Everywhere! will focus on lifting and energizing your dry winter skin.

Facial serums in general are intended to: firm and tighten skin, normalize oil production, prevent breakouts, help reduce the signs of aging, and increase your skin's ability to regenerate cells faster resulting in elasticity and more youthful and brighter looking skin. They are definitely on the pricier side of beauty products since they are so concentrated and full of vitamins, so finding the right one for your skin should be treated like an investment. Here are my top three picks for lifting and energizing serums. Enjoy!

La Mer Lifting Face Serum, $210 for a 1 oz. pump. This is a top of the line serum that Madonna and Jennifer Lopez are fans of. It trains your skin to maintain a softer, and smoother appearance by infusing your skin with energy. You will notice your skin looks brighter, clearer and firmer.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Intensive Lifting Serum, $175. This addictive serum is made from rare ingredients paired with technology to provide serious results. It repairs your skin from the get go and provides protection from free radicals and other damagers. You will feel it working because of the light, tingly sensation when you apply it.

After some time, you will notice less fine lines and a more supple skin appearance. Also, dark spots on your face should fade. Just use one pump in the morning and in the evening and then follow with a hydrating facial moisturizer.
