DHC Care Perfect Pro Eyeliner Pencils Review

DHC EYELINER

 

A couple of weeks ago I told you about the DHC Care Eyebrow pencils. While, they were not a hit themselves DHC has done a great job with there Perfect Pro Makeup Eyeliner Pencils. Four great colors make up this collection. Brown, Black. Plum and Blue. The browns and black are your classics with the black being very deep. I really liked how dark it came off. The the plum and blue are a bit on the lighter side of the color scale so if you’re looking for a deep purple I would not suggest this  one. The blue tends to lean towards the teal side as you could probably gather from the color on the packaging.

These eyeliners go on nice and smooth. They are soft enough that they can be smudged out to create an awesome smokey or edgy look if need be. If you have oily eyelids I would suggest to not use these on your top lash line but instead use them on your lower lash line as they don’t dry down to being smudgeproof.

DHC Perfect Pro Makeup Eyeliner Pencils can be found at DHCcare.com in the near future!

DHC Care New Designing Eyebrow Pencil Review

DHC Eyebrow Pencil Review

DHC has blessed my skin many times over with their amazing skin care products so I was excited when I found out they adding some new items to their makeup line. DHC Designing Eyebrow Pencils from their Perfect Pro Makeup line, is replacing the old perfect pro pencil. Eyebrows to me are important, but what’s more important is having the right tools to achieve the coveted “snatched” brow.

DHC Care eyebrow Pencils Open

DHC Care Designing Eyebrow Pencils comes in five basic shades and includes your often times overlooked gray. My love for DHC really wanted these pencils to be great. Unfortunately, they missed the mark by a long shot. The main problem with these eyebrow pencils is that they aren’t soft enough. I had to bare down really hard and run the pencil back and forth just to do a swatch. This proved to be too much work, was harsh on my skin and it does not par well with the “short quick strokes” rule of filling in brows. I thought maybe the pencils needed to be activated like some of my lip liner pencils, but even after sharpening these babies still had no give.  If you like a real firm pencil when lining your brows this product is great for you. I would not recommend these for someone who is a beginner at lining your brows. Check out swatches below!

BCA Day 5: DHC Care Acerola Essentials Set Brightens and Combats Oily Skin

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Melody in DHC Care | 1 Comment

I missed day’s 3 and 4 for Breast Cancer Awareness so I’ll make it up to you by sharing an amazing skin care set that at least has pink bottles.

Everyone knows about my daily battle with oily skin, sometimes I win but more so I lose. Skin care regimens are very important for a women of any age. Since discovering DHC and using their Acerola Essential Set my skin has never looked better!

The Acerola Essential Set is a radiance boosting- Vitamin C Skin Care Set. The vitamin C comes from the acerola berry. By using its fruit and seed extracts, which contains more milligrams of vitamin C than an orange, each item is packing tons of goodness for your face.

I’ve been using the Acerola Essential Set for over a month and the changes to my skin have been phenomenal.  My skin appears brighter, softer, and more even. The Acerola is especially beneficial for those with overactive skin, as it helps reduce excess sebum

Acerola Extract: The Acerola Extract is great for evening and smoothing the skin. Just apply a small dab on your finger tips to problem areas or dark spots and watch as they slowly start to smooth and fade away. I use the extract at night after toning.

Acerola Lotion:  The Acerola Lotion is a refreshing age defying skin toner. I use this product morning and night and I love how it doesn’t dry out my skin like other harsh toners.

Acerola Gel: The Acerola Gel is my fave fave favorite of the entire set. This light weight oil free moisturizer makes me want to just get rid of all my others. I use this in the morning after toning and before applying makeup. What I love is that it’s so light weight yet so effective. I don’t even have to wait forever for it to dry before applying my makeup, because my skin absorbs it so quickly. Once the gel is applied I apply the DHC Velvet Skin Coat on top.

Acerola Cream: I really feel like a big girl when I use the Acerola Cream. I use it after toning at night to give my skin a bedtime snack. When I wake up my skin doesn’t look so dull and lifeless. Unlike most night creams this one is fragrance free so no worries about a strong smell while your trying to sleep.

I honestly think I’ve found a great skin care regimen that really gives me great results. While the Vitamin C from the Acerola Berry help combat free radicals that can damage the skin it also helps combat the oiliness of my skin allowing me to go worry free throughout the day. The Acerola Essential Set can be purchased at DHCcare.com for $69.

DHC Velvet Skin Coat: Primed and Loaded

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Melody in DHC Care, Makeup, Skin Care | 5 Comments

 

Makeup primers come a dime a dozen, but what if your particular carton contained the prized golden egg? DHC Velvet Skin Coat delivers top quality skin priming perfection in a small tube. What I really like about this primer was its unique powdery gel texture; it wasn’t oily and didn’t leave a sticky residue on my hand. Velvet Skin Coat is one of DHC’s nine superstar products and I can attest to many reasons why. After using a moisturizer I applied the Velvet Skin Coat and could immediately feel a difference in my skin as compared to other primers. This primer goes on very smoothly and even allows for me to use less makeup. This is wonderful since it’s summer time and I try to go the “less is more “route with my makeup. With just some minor blotting in my T-zone, I remained pretty much oil free whenever I wear this particular product. I find that it works well with my MAC Mineralize Skin Finish and my Cover Girl Queen Collection Foundation. It does not however, pair well with my Urban Decay Tinted Moisturizer, when I combine these two I notice I’m super oily

.

 

DHC Velvet Skin Coat can take its rightful place in my category of top primers.  If your looking for a primer that “fills in lines, absorbs excess oil and allows your makeup to last all day without smudging, caking or smearing” then this is the product for you. Velvet Skin Coat can be found at DHCcare.com for $21.
