Hello Friends, I hope you had an enjoyable weekend!

As an Avon Independent Sales Rep I probably have more cosmetics than I need but I like trying new products so that I can spread the word to my customers or answer any questions they may have. I don’t particualarly like to spend a lot of money on makeup and usually stick to an under $5.00 price point but I was curious about the new Mega Effects Mascara.

The $10 cost made me a bit apprehensive as well as the fact that it looked a little more complicated to apply and I don’t have a lot of time in the morning, but I bit the bullet and ordered it. The first morning I tried it I ended up poking myself in the eye and getting smudges on my lower lashes, I was trying to use it like a traditional brush.

The WonderBrush handle is like a mini paint brush that is adjustable, and is shaped to fit the natural curve of your lashes.

I am going to be honest and say that it took two mornings for me to become comfortable in using it but now it’s just as quick to apply as any other mascara. It provides great volume, there’s no clumping, and it’s easy to remove at night.

This was definitely worth the price.

Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream

I grew up hearing the phrase, “Black Don’t Crack“, but that may not be the case in all situations, especially if you don’t take care of the skin you’re in. Natural aging combined with the lack of sleep, smoking, or overexposure to UV Rays can crack the best of skin no matter the color! Not all signs of skin damage are visible so I make sure to remove my make up, cleanse my face and moisturize every night.

I’m fortunate to have tight skin with no visible wrinkles, but at 51, I’ve overexposed my skin to the sun’s harmful rays and am also an ex-smoker. I can see fine lines developing in my face so now is the time to take more action including caring for my chest and neck area.

I was contacted by Neck-Cream.com and asked to do a sponsored post for their product Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream, so the timing was perfect. I don’t know much about “anti-aging” products, but do know that taking care of my skin now will definitely pay off in the future. Eventually if we’re lucky, we get to meet “Father Time“, and how we chose to greet him is in our hands.

Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream is supposed to lift, tighten and firm, as well as smooth out fine lines and wrinkles while deeply moisturizing the skin. Now that’s a lot to expect from this little 60 ml bottle but I was excited to give it a try.

The first thing I noticed about Dermagist was that it didn’t have an overpowering scent nor was it thick or oily. It’s very light and absorbed quickly into my skin. As directed, I’ve been using it twice a day for over a month and I can definitely see and feel the difference. My neck and the V-zone area in my chest is silky smooth all day and it feels fully moisturized.

Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream did not irritate my skin and it contains several all natural ingredients including sesame protein, apple stem cells extract, and Shea Butter. Dermagist has now become part of my daily beauty routine, with the bottle always in plain sight – you know forgetfulness also comes with aging (lol).

Dermagist Skin Care has offered to give one of my readers a free bottle of Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream. All you need to do is “Like” Dermagist and DeDivahDeals Facebook pages, then leave a comment as to why you would be excited to try the product.

Make sure to refer your friends ~ a winner will be randomly chosen on July 15th. Good luck!
