Lumene

The only reason I can review these products by Lumene is because, bless Target, they were on clearance. With the exception of the Radiant Touch Moisturizing Cream Cleanser, which is $10 even regularly priced, these are kind of pricey for regular ol' me. (Especially when hubby's job has been cutting overtime, grrr...), but if I COULD afford them on a regular basis, I would use nothing else. The pretty orangey-pink stuff, Vitamin C+ Energy Cocktail normally retails for around $23.99. Oh, my gosh, it's spectacular. It just makes my skin so radiant and, dare I say it, LUMINEscent. Really. After using it the first time, I woke up the next morning and was like, "Oooooh..." and I couldn't stop rubbing my hand along my cheek. I really do love it. I actually use it kind of sparingly because *sniffle* I can't buy any more right now, or any time soon. The Radiant C-Energy Age-Defying Day Cream, retailing for around $19.99, goes on so nice and smooth, and softens the skin quite nicely. Bonus: it includes SPF 15. The aforementioned Cream Cleanser is also good, although I'm not singing with choirs of angels in its praise. It does the job, and I like it. To be fair, what's probably holding me back from using words like "spectacular" about the cleanser is that it doesn't lather much. But, really, I've heard the more something lathers - the more it's drying out your skin. *Sigh* I just like a lot of lather and foam. But I'll get over it. These products rock. So if you are in a position to spend $20+ for your skin-care, please try this brand. It rocks. See, it rocks so much, I've actually used the term "rocks" far more than someone should on a civilized website.

(Prices quoted from CVS.com, which, by the way, is holding a sale, so currently these very products are cheaper than stated.)
