Mother’s Day is coming up on May 11th. Since I’ve been shopping around the web, I thought I’d share some of the bargains that are ongoing in honor of Mom’s across the world.

And yes, that is my mom and me in the photograph. One of the few photographs of her on horseback. The pony was the mother to my first horse.

Shop away, ladies.

I tried out a nice sized sample of Pur Minerals Mineral Moisture Complex Anti-Aging Powerhouse (wow, that’s a mouthful). The sample lasted me for over a week- I applied a little at night before bed.

I love the texture of this cream! Thick and rich without being greasy and sliding around on my face. It blended and absorbed really well. After use, my skin felt smooth, plump, and I ‘believe’ my pores may even look a teensy bit smaller. The scent is pretty much non-existent, so no worries there either. All in all, this is a definite recommend!

You can purchase the Mineral Moisture Complex from Pur Minerals, a 2.0 oz jar for $34.50.

I will make a quick note, this cream should be used at night since it does not contain SPF. Pur Minerals does offer a Day Complex with SPF 20, although I haven’t tried it out.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Esters, Neopentyl Glycol Dicaprylate / Dicaprate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Biosaccharide Gum-1, Sorbitol, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C), Ceteareth-20, Dimethicone, PEG-100 Stearate, Whey Protein, Malchite Extract, Polyacrylamide, Betula Alba (White Birch) Extract, C13-14 Isoparaffin, Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10), Rhodochrosite Extract, Squalane, Macrocystis Pyrifera (Sea Kelp) Extract, Laureth-7, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Copper PCA, Allantoin, Methylparaben, Triethanolamine, Tetrasodium EDTA, Propylparaben, Propylene Glycol, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Citric Acid, Diazolidinyl Urea

I’ve recently tried Pur Minerals Lip Revival treatment, and the results are in.
Before application (i.e. naked lips):

After application:

A little goes a LONG way with this product. It’s very creamy and you have to rub it in (only use a teeny amount- smaller than a pea). The Lip Revival is moisturizing and I love how it gets a soft sheen, not the overdramatic shine that some products do. It did see to soften the appearance of lines on my lips, but I did not notice any plumping action. It doesn’t burn or sting your lips (which is a good thing, since pain is not gain in my opinion).

While I adore the application, I have to give one minor draw back. I lick my lips quite often, and this stuff tastes awful. Ugh.

You can purchase the Lip Revival at Pur Minerals’ website.
