Want your skin to glow, gleam and glisten? Then you simply have to try the Murad Lighten & Brighten Eye Treatment and Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 15 Set. (Say that three times fast!) Each of the two products in this set works to keep your skin bright, shining and simply gorgeous. I've been a fan of both of these products for months, so finding them in a set was like having a dream come true, prayers become answered, the heavens open up ... okay, you get the picture.
First up, the Lighten & Brighten Eye Treatment. This little tube seriously works wonders! Every time I use it, I just know I'll wake up without any bags, puffiness or dark circles near my eyes. Only the tiniest amount is needed -- smaller than a dime-sized dollop. Once you squeeze it onto your finger (I like to use the pad of my index finger), slowly massage it into your undereye area and out toward the outer corners. Doing this on a daily basis will ensure that any unsightly eye problems will be kept at bay! I love all the oils it's formulated with -- orange, grapefruit, rosa damascena flower, clove flower and sage -- which just make me feel like I'm doing something extra special for my skin.
And, of course, who could forget the Essential-C Day Moisture SPF 15? This moisturizer works to fight against free radicals and sun damage. The latter is perfectly obvious, as the name itself tells you there's SPF protection in the formula. The moisturizer is light, creamy and non-drying, and it's not at all irritating (quite a feat as my skin is very sensitive!). As with the eye cream, it's not necessary to use a huge amount -- I recommend about a quarter-sized dollop, massaged especially into the nose, cheeks, forehead and chin. I like to use it at night and let it work its magic as I sleep ... though it is perfectly okay to use for day as well.
This set retails for $75 on Sephora's website. Quite a bargain when its full retail value is $107! So go ahead, lighten up.
Thank you so much to all the fabulous entrants in the Murad Giveaway! And after a whopping 1385 entries, a winner has been selected at random. Congratulations to Emily Grant, who has won over $300 in Murad products. Thanks so much to all the entrants -- be sure to check back soon, as more giveaways are just around the corner!
It's time for another giveaway here on The Beauty of Life! And this time I'm giving away a ton of products from one of my favorite skincare lines, Murad. Your skin will literally be glowing after using each and every one of the following products, which have a retail value of $330!
Youth Builder Dietary Supplement ($49): These supplements work to reduce the appearance of fine lines, boot collagen production and stimulate healthy cell function with glucosamine, amino acid complex and Vitamin A.
Essential-C Eye Cream SPF 15 ($66): Tiger's herb and caffeine brighten up the undereye area with the added benefit of SPF 15 to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Side note: this product is so popular, it's currently completely sold out on Murad's website!
Intensive Wrinkle Reducer ($150): Yes, this product retails for $150! And with all its claims -- reversing wrinkles, firming and tightening skin, increasing radiance, boosting hydration levels, improving skin imperfections and resurfacing without irritation, it's easy to see why.
AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser ($35): Formulated with salicylic, lactic and glycolic acids to cleanse, smooth and exfoliate your skin to perfection. But that's not all -- jojoba seed oil keeps skin from drying out, and licorice extract acts as an anti-inflammatory.
Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30 ($30): Not only does this protect your skin from harmful rays, it shields against premature fine lines and wrinkles! Plus it's infused with pomegranate extract to prevent free radical damage.
Entering is super-easy. Simply enter your name and email address in the box below, and check back on Friday, August 22 to see if you've won! Good luck!

There's one condition women just don't like to talk about. We'll discuss undereye circles, chipped nail polish and frizzy hair ad nauseam, but just don't ask us about bacne. But whether we talk about it or treat it like the invisible elephant in the room, unfortunately it's there. Luckily, Murad Clarifying Body Spray is there to save the day.
This spray works much the same as any acne fighter. It's formulated with salicylic acid, triclosan and retinol to reduce blemishes and ensure that new breakouts keep from happening, while allantoin keeps skin healthy and moisturized.
Since using this spray, I've definitely noticed a decrease in unsightly blemishes. While it smells slightly of bug spray -- not necessarily my favorite scent -- it does the trick almost immediately. Only a few spritzes, and a reduction in redness and bumpiness across my back happened in an instant! It even made my mosquito bites stop itching.
All in all, this is definitely a spray worth picking up. At $36 on Murad's website, it's a bit steep in price -- but it does the trick! Bacne be gone!
