Reader Poll: Do You Apply Eye Cream?

There’s something so feminine about dabbing on eye cream. I have two small jars in my skincare arsenal and I also carry one around in my purse. In the morning, mid-day, mid-afternoon, and before bed I’m dabbing on eye cream.

Trent wrote a post about the benefits of wearing eye cream. “Touch up those wrinkled bags!” I love his beauty blog humor.

Looking to buy wrinkle cream?

When you’re 40+ you’re using eye creams to erase the lines. At 30 you’re trying to prevent those lines. But when you’re 20-25 and have already begun using eye cream, you’re right on board to prevention.

In a following post I plan to review my favorite eye cream. It’s even pink! And, it works wonders. In the mean time:

Do you use eye cream? What made you start? Which one(s) do you use and what are the best results you’ve seen?

Reader Poll: Is Your Guy Metrosexual?

Is your boyfriend or guy friend beauty savvy? Does he have his own arsenal of hair and skin care or have you caught him dabbling in your stash?

When I was a Beauty Advisor for Lancome years ago, I would invite my guy friend Trent in to demonstrate to my BA friends how to do “makeovers” on guys with skincare products. Women aren’t the only ones that need to take care of their hair and skin. Men are learning that there are products out there tailored for them that can repair their own hair and skin woes. Such products include Origins Save The Males daily moisturizer and Clinique Skin Supplies For Men. These lines know that marketing is key to get men to buy these products, whether by all-black packaging or “manly” product names. Just know that guys can use “our” stuff too… the ingredients are pretty much the same!

Check out my guy’s metrosexual blog. He finally did it!

Reader Poll: Cash or Credit?

Do you prefer to pay with cash, or with your credit or debit card? Does it depend on the purchase?

Lately I’ve become a lot more keen on being frugal and guarding against spending my money. Because I tend to spend more when I’m paying with my credit or bank cards, I’ve decided to simply withdraw the money I “allow” myself to spend on discretionary things so that I can monitor more closely how I’m spending my cash. Bank fees have also grown quite ridiculous so I may be using my bank card a lot less from now on! For online purchases, there’s always PayPal.
