Derma E Hydrating Night Creme

I've seen a lot of beauty magazines that say a night cream is really no different from a day cream, but Derma E Hydrating Night Creme is definitely something you want to use at night.

This item in my January Allure Beauty Box is the kind of product that makes me so glad I subscribe. I get so many premium-size samples like this that I barely have to go out and buy any full-size products anymore. They also allow me to really get a feel for a product before I spend money on a full-size container.

This night cream has a thick, luxurious texture that feels great going on at the end of a long day after cleansing. It's especially welcome on my dry, taut, winter skin.

After applying, I got a little nervous, as it felt like there was definitely a coating on top of my skin (which is why you wouldn't want to use it for day). But I kept it on overnight and woke up to find it fully absorbed and my skin feeling much fresher and plumper in the morning than it has in quite a while.

My skin can get a little sensitive, especially in winter, but I didn't notice any reddening, stinging or breakouts, and the hydration felt like it held on throughout the following day after using it the night before.

Grade: A- (you'll want to use it an hour or so before bed to protect your pillow)

Here's what the Allure editors had to say about it:

What it is: A rich face bream

What it does: Intensely moisturizes without making skin feel smothered.

How it looks/feels/smells: This cream has the consistency of a lotion and a faint scent of fresh apricots.

Key ingredients: Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins A and E, panthenol, and aloe (moisturize); vitamin C (antioxidant)

Why we like it: Not all heroes wear capes. (Though frankly, we'd kind of love it if this jar of cream had a tiny costume.) This all-star formula is filled with supermoisturizers that sink right into parched skin and provide excellent plumping. One acre-prone tester was also pleasantly surprised to find that her skin looked less red and irritated after just a few days of use, and - big sight of relief - she had no new breakouts afterward.

Price: $29.50 for 2 ounces

Workaday

There are few things as frustrating as... Sitting in the Monday morning meeting that's twice as long as it needs to be, while the boss goes through her stack of work and hands it to you, saying, "do this and do this and do this and do this" - then all afternoon she sits in her office chatting and gossiping with another department head while you're wondering exactly when you can fit it into your schedule to hang yourself. *** Knowing that when I keel over with a heart attack or succumb to my darker impulses and hang myself my corporate overlords will lack the self-awareness to see their responsibility in bringing about my demise. *** Listening to the boss and ad manager trying to come up with a tagline to promote our product. Meanwhile, I've got at least a dozen that easily top anything you guys have thrown at the wall so far. (But apparently they're fine with directly ripping off tag lines created by very expensive marketing firms for very big publica...

Knock, knock

All day, every day. Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock. That's my neighbor with a hammer. I live in a townhouse. These are rentals. We're not allowed to hang things on the wall. You've been at this long enough to have built furniture for the whole town. What the HELL are you hammering at every frickin' day? *** Note to Discover Card: I sent you that "preapproved" credit application, and you sent me back a denial because my job pays shit. Ok. I let it go. Chase was fine with me, and I've paid every bill on time or early. So, Discover, you can just STOP sending me more credit offers! You missed your chance, and I've moved on. Get over it. *** I've been rewatching Girlfriends. I remember loving this show. Now, I see it's about a so-called strong and independent woman whose only purpose in life is to get a man. Then keep a man. Then get married. I have two daughters. I tell them, "DON'T EVER BE THIS WOMAN." Live y...

Trust Fund Beauty nail polish

One of my favorite treats each month is my subscription to the Allure Beauty Box from Allure magazine. I love opening the box each month to find out what kind of beauty products I get to try this month, and unlike most of those subscription box services, I actually feel like I'm getting a deal as far as price goes. I also have found some great products that become a part of a regular regime. One of the items in the January box is a full-size bottle of Trust Fund Beauty nail polish in the color "Champagne Problems." This is a good example of that deal I was talking about. The box is $15 a month, but this bottle of nail polish all by itself retails at $15, so everything else I got in the box is like a bonus! One of the things that really struck me about this nail polish is the amazing coverage! That photo shows my nail with just one coat! It's rare for me to find a nail polish that covers well in one coat and even more rare to find a sparkly nail polish that does...
