Unfortunately I never got around to editing my pics for today’s post. So instead, I thought I’d let you guys know that I’ve added a bunch of new things to my Poshmark closet! I plan on adding more throughout the day so stop by and shop my closet! TGIF!

Remember how I wanted to try a 3 day (or maybe it was just a one day) juice cleanse? Well, I decided to visit a local juice/smoothie shop to try them out before I spent the $. I mean, how bad could juice taste? Surely they would use EXTRA apples to mask any of the nasty tasting stuff, right? WRONG. I ordered the “first day” juice which is supposedly the easiest (and sweetest) of the three. It looked JUST like a strawberry smoothie. And then I took a sip. NOT A STRAWBERRY SMOOTHIE. Room temperature beet, parsley, carrot, ginger & apple juice. So yeah…I guess I won’t be doing a juice cleanse any time soon. I came home and ate an apple instead.

I recently got an email request from a reader asking for some of my favorite anti-aging products. In the last two years, I think all of my bad eating & sleeping habits have finally caught up with me. My eyes are really starting to show their age. Between drooping eyelids and crepey under eye skin, I am ALWAYS on the lookout for the best new eye treatments. So far the only thing that REALLY gets rid of all of the wrinkles is good lighting & my iphoto retouch button. But these are some of the products I’ve had the best results with:

Garnier Skincare Ultra-lift Anti-wrinkle Eye Roller ($9.75 for 0.5 fl oz): Instantly: skin feels smoother and firmer. 2 weeks: crow’s feet and fine lines are visibly reduced. With Continued Use: wrinkles and crow’s feet are smoothed; skin around the eye area feels firmer. WHY I LOVE IT: For > $10, the cold roller ball alone makes it worth every penny. The refreshing cool blast to my eyes  makes them feel less puffy too.

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream ($18.00 for a 0.5oz jar): Hyaluronic Acid formula helps lock in the skin’s own natural moisture without the use of heavy, greasy oils. Absorbent, medium weight cream for use day or night. Aloe based formula makes this cream suitable for all skin types, even sensitive. WHY I LOVE IT: I really like the weight of this cream…not thick or greasy and my makeup goes on flawless after using it. Very moisturizing.

Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Eye Cream ($21.99 for a 0.5oz tube): Neutrogena® Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Eye Cream works quickly with visible results in just one week! By combining a unique combination of Retinol SA, Glucose Complex, and Hyaluronic Acid, Rapid Wrinkle Repair® Eye Cream moisturizes and renews the look of skin throughout the day. WHY I LOVE IT: I currently use tretinoin (prescription retin-a) but this is as close as you can get to a prescription level eye cream IMHO. It didn’t irritate my sensitive skin either.

Benefit It’s Potent Eye Cream ($34 for a 0.5oz jar): it’s potent! eye cream fades dark circles & helps smooth fine lines for brighter, younger-looking eyes. Contains a peptide complex known to help restore elasticity & firmness, a blend of hydrating botanical extracts and loquat extract, known to help protect the skin from free radical damage. WHY I LOVE IT: This goes on smoothly and does not interfere with my makeup application. Definitely brightened my eyes too which helps hide dark circles.

StriVectin-SD Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles ($65 for a 1 fl oz tube): Strivectin powered up the original SD Eye with more efficacious peptides, eye brighteners and soft focus light diffusers. And Strivectin re-engineered the formula with NIA-114, discovered in DNA skin cancer research to accelerate the rebuilding of skin layers. Proven in Clinical Trials. And in Your Mirror. Strivectin’s research was conducted under rigorous scientific standards. The result? Multiple patents, proven and documented in years of clinical trials. But the only results that matter to Strivectin are yours. Try Strivectin. You’ll see the future of anti-aging: healthy-looking, younger-looking skin. And skin that gets better and better. Fragrance-Free, Paraben-Free, Non-Comedogenic. WHY I LOVE IT: I definitely noticed (as did my husband) an improvement in my under eye discoloration with this product. A great mid-price product.

La Prairie Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex ($135 for a 0.5oz jar): One drop is all it takes. Essence of Skin Caviar Eye Complex is like a mini eyelift. A lightweight, rapidly penetrating gel, it firms, nourishes and re-energizes the eye zone. Tone and texture improve. Fine lines and wrinkles fade away. The delicate skin around the eyes is hydrated and brightened, as signs of stress and fatigue melt away and imperfections are erased. Also acts as a primer so eye makeup stays on like a dream. WHY I LOVE IT: I just received a sample of this in my Glossybox and am very impressed. My eyes instantly feel tight & smooth. A little bit really does go a long way!

La Mer The Eye Concentrate ($185 for a 0.5oz jar): A deeply conditioning cream formulated with hematite, a magnetically-charged mineral, to help dramatically dissolve the appearance of dark circles, surface discolorations and unevenness. The look of lines and wrinkles is softened. Over time, a visibly healthier, smoother and more luminous look is revealed. WHY I LOVE IT: I’m sorry to have to say this but La Mer products really are as good as they say they are. I was almost hoping I wouldn’t love this since it is WAY more than I’d like to spend on an eye cream. Although I’m pretty sure this jar will last at least 5-6 months which makes me feel better about the price. But I really do feel like I’ve seen the most improvement in both the dark circles AND fine lines with this cream. It softens my wrinkles AND moisturizes.

Have you ever dreamed of having a personal stylist? I get to play stylist to my friends/family quite often but sometimes I wish someone could just pull outfits for me so I don’t have to stare at my own closet thinking “I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR”. I’ve never been one to plan an outfit in advance so usually I end up stressing last minute with all of my clothes in piles on the floor. Which is also why I tend to wear things the same exact way so I don’t have to think too much about what to wear each day. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a set of fresh eyes to help you remix your wardrobe and/or find the pieces you are missing in your closet? Well, today I want to re-introduce you to Tog+Porter. I tried their styling services a few years ago (see the post here) and truly had a great experience. The blazer above was one of the items my stylist chose for me and years later, it is still a staple in my closet.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

It really is as easy as 1-2-3. And the BEST thing about Tog+Porter is that their services are completely free. All you do is give them your budget (min is $250 up to $1500) and you keep what you want and send the rest back! So whether you need full-on styling or just help finding the key pieces that are missing in your wardrobe, Tog+Porter can help.

Today I am excited to share that Tog+Porter is giving one Stylish Housewife reader a $100 gift certificate to use toward your styling session. All you have to do to enter to win is take a peek at their new short film “The Perfect Day” (if you can’t see the video above, you can click here) and leave a comment here on this blog post telling me what you need more/less of in your closet. I promise you the video will leave you feeling inspired. Thank you for reading & good luck!

P.S. Tog+Porter is running a “Spread the Love” campaign for the month of February. All deliveries shipped in February will include a special gift for you & a friend!

We’ve never been huge on celebrating Valentines Day in a traditional sense. Both my husband and I would rather go to a quiet dinner on any other night than fight the crowds on the actual day of. But I’m not gonna lie…I sure wouldn’t mind being surprised with any of the items above. Although a box of See’s candy would make me just as happy…almond buds, California brittle and molasses chips are my faves! Hint, hint, hint. =) How do you celebrate Valentines Day???
