~Fall Skin Care Review~ Lumene Spa Repairing Body Butter.....

I got something really great for everyone to pick up right NOW.

I'm a huge fan of Lumene and they currently have a SPA collection that contains the Repairing Body Butter that is worth every penny, nickel, quarter you GOT.

Let your body and mind relax. This luxuriously rich cream is excellent for dry and very dry skin. Its effectively softening oils also condition rough hands, elbows and heels.

Contains arctic roseroot to promote the skin’s well-being. Ideal for women of all ages especially who appreciate everyday luxury in their daily body care and who are interested in comprehensive well-being. Suitable for all skin types. Product contains over 95 % natural ingredients and fragrance is 100 % natural. Product is free from synthetic colorants and synthetic fragrances. 100 ml / 3.4 FL.OZ.

This body butter is a buttery wonderful treat for straight out of the bathtub or shower. Its lightly scented ( It reminds me of Weleda Sea Buckthorn Products) and feels amazing on the skin. Its mildly addictive, the creamy consistency and the little product that it takes to moisturize sold me. Plus you can find it at Target for less than $10.  I'm currently trying not to be heavy handed and save my product...but its hard! This is perfect Fall to Winter body butter to add into your collection. I'm raving....yes....and I don't rave that much.:)

Don't say I didn't tell you to get you some. lol!

~Rural Style~ Fall Fashion Wishlist.....

After many additions and revisions...my Fall Fashion Wishlist is ready to go. I had one more addition yesterday that if I can locate the other boot will be a subtraction...but you what Beyonce says..."I may not know algebra but...." Anyway.... Here's what I going for to add to my wardrobe:

Jeans: 1 Dressy pair, 3 Casual ( already have 2, Thanks to Goodwill and thrifting)

Leggings: In black...normally I get them from Walmart...but they haven't put them out yet.:(

Pleated Skirt: hopefully while thrifting, cross your fingers for me....

50s styles round skirts, 70s style midi skirts

Platform Stiletto Heels in black

Oxfords: I think I have an idea where to look...but Ive tried so many pair on, they are made very narrow and some are not worth the price.

Purple tights:)

Belts: thick, skinny, vintage, whatever...cinching the waist works for me.

Finger less gloves

Thin Leather jacket: That works with layering

A vintage trench: something London Fog or Aigner

Boots: knee high and flat in black and brown....


I'm praying to find most of those things thrifting and at a low, low price. I made a mini list to put in my wallet so I will keep you all posted on what I discover!



For a more "visual" look at my wishlist check out my RG Fall Fashion Wishlist board on PINTEREST!!!

~Rural Style~ Dressing Room Files with Jennifer Lopez for Kohls.....

I dropped into Kohl's today on a light excursion out of town to visit Jennifer Lopez' collection for Kohls. I saw TheDivaEsq do a great dressing  room review on the line. So check out my "review"!!!!

The line is full of very sexy neutrals, feel good fabrics like jersey but pretty and girly...nothing too structured or serious. I love the neutral palette....greys, light creamy shades of blush.....I also spotted lots of animal prints... Most of the collection, if not all, was 20% off. Search around for another coupon online...and you can make a good deal. I listed the retail for each piece.

This is the dress($70) in the photo above....must have been popular in this Kohls because there were only two left in size 8 and 10. I noticed that in each item there were a lot of sizes...even in the larger sizes.

Her collection goes from size 6  to size 16 and S to  XL. I tried on some Ls and XLs....I can't wear a 16 yet.

The jewelry I spotted was glitzy and rhinestone-y...typical JLO...these earrings were my favorite and they are clip-ons but they are $22. :/

I spotted her handbag display and these were two of my favorites....If I had the coins today, I would've bought that taupe bag($120)...beautiful!! The bags were very luxe style...bold hardware, some fur...

First, I tried on this fur vest with faux leather in XL ($84). It was soft and comfy, perfect layering piece. It even buttoned across my chest! I wanted to take this home too!!

Its looks like shearling but its was more furry. Plus it was shedding all over the place. yikes.

Second, I tried on this trench ($100) in a XL...It was a too big and too long for my height(5'0). I couldn't see wearing this even with  heels. The bottom of the coat hits my knees. As far as the construction, I like the puffy sleeves but the flared bottom and stretchy belt...is no-go.

Third, was this retro 80s inspired silk/satin top ($40) in XL. I didn't fit....too short, too tight in the arms, and uncomfortable.:(

Fourth, I tried on the champagne drapey dolman top ($40). I loved the fit  and the color but hated the fabric. Its not jersey, it feels like old school polyester.The color looks washed out in the picture but it was gorgeous on my skin in that store.

Last, another fur vest ($84) in XL...that shedding all over the place! It needed some buttons or something.

Now this top($54)....ummm....I didn't know how it suppose to fit...I tried it on but it was TRAGIC. lol!

I didn't get to the shoes because , I know about ya'll but, Kohls is so confusing, I couldn't remember where the shoes were.:( Plus I missed the home and lingerie of this line....gotta do my homework.

So what do you think? Have you seen Jennifer Lopez' collection at Kohls? Do own any pieces? Let me know!

~Fall Skin Care Review~ Murad Acne & Aging Skin Solution Regimen Kit...

As the season changes, I'm always looking for something new for my skin....and as my age changed....I'm always looking for to slow down the aging process. Yes, I'm that girl. I believe in the "preservation" of my skin to be polite.:)

I had the chance to try out Murad Acne & Aging Skin Solution regimen. My face historically doesn't do "regimens" of the same company well. Believe me, I've been through several since I was a teen. It normally handles a mishmish of products to its full potential. After FOUR weeks of use, I'm ready to give you the scoop on Acne & Aging Skin Solution Regimen....

The Kit contains Time Release Acne Cleanser, Acne & Wrinkle Reducer, Anti-Aging Moisturizer SPF 20, and Acne Spot Treatment.


Time Release Acne Cleanser- I like that this cleanser doesn't suds. Its really gentle like Cetephil but my face didn't feel really clean after use.

Acne & Wrinkle Reducer- This product is like a serum but the consistency is thicker than you average serum. It soaks into the skin and is not sticky. I liked how it felt on my skin, but after four weeks I saw no difference in the spots on my face that are "aging" like the fine lines in my forehead. Also, my acne didn't clear up no quicker with the use of it.

Anti-Aging Moisterizer SPF20- I like that you only need a little bit of the product to cover the face. I was hoping that it would be a great go to moisturizer but it turned out to be a bit too oily. I already get oily during the day, but I got oily alot faster everyday I used this. I was blotting my face within an hour of use with foundation on top.

Acne Spot Treatment- I used this when I felt a pimple under my skin wanting to come to a head. Like most acne spot treatments, they are the most effective when catching the pimple before it gets to surface to rid of it. It worked well, however, I know of a spot treatment that works just as fast. Another pro is that it doesn't flake on the skin like some spot treatments can.

Consensus

 I think that this regimen didn't work for me as a regimen...all four products together were an overload for my face. I found myself fighting more whiteheads and oil than I did before I started. I'm going to try the moisturizer alone with my black soap to see if it works better outside of the regimen and continue to use the acne spot treatment when needed.

Skip- The Cleanser and Acne & Wrinkle Reducer

Buy- Acne Spot Treatment 

Consider and Compare- Anti Aging Moisterizer

So what do you think? Have you ever or are you using any of the products from the Murad Skin Aging & Acne Line? Let me know your results!
