Hollywood gets rained on by April Rain's Day Rainew. Stars such as Tori Spelling, Jessica Alba, and Gwen Stefani. Are all hip to this 'anti-wrinkle' remedy in a bottle

This super defender Day Rainew by April Rain, is hot amongst the Hollywood stars. Being a sure favorite at the annual GLAAD Media Awards. Stars were being drenched with this sure delight, including Dancing with the Stars Bruno Tonioli, to Star Trek's own Uhura quoting "She will use it faithfully everyday". And if that isn't enough, April Rain won over the ladies of Wisteria Lane. So enough about Hollywood, what is all the excitement about here?

Well April Rain is formulated like a multivitamin for skin, supplying a recommended daily quota of your 'RDQ's'. Which is the one of the key elements that shield skin from 'wrinkle-causing' free radical attacks. Plus the multifunctional antioxidants and vitamins defend against sun damage and environmental assault while promoting skin cell regeneration. Wow! Sounds like powerful stuff.

How did we like it? Well we tried the April Rain Day Rainew. The bottle and packaging is slightly on the commercial side, but delivers its promise of a 'dermatological' grade product. The product itself offers a lot of moisture, and doesn't leave an oily film behind. If you are looking for a commercial, dermatologist recommended brand, then this is a sure bet.

These fabulous Eco-Chic Travel Kits are the perfect gift! For your at home spa needs made simple. With natural ingredients, recyclable packaging, and air-friendly design make these cool and green on the go.

Like many new beauty brands out there. More and more are converting over to a more 'natural' and 'eco friendly' sensibility. And Chole & Jane have jumped onto that motto. Like many of their predecessors created an 'at home' spa product, which quickly turned into a need to expand the idea into a viable and well worth beauty product. Then comes 'Chole & Jane'. Super hip and chic, this brand appeals with its clean but fun branding. And its luscious contents, with lavender sage, citrus chamomile and fresh linen - which are to die for. With sugar scrubs, which have that 'made at home' feel. To lotions and body washes galore. Chloe & Jane are well on their way with’ eco friendly’ appeal and charm.

With very organic, and earthy scents. Upon gliding on the lotions, one is overcome with the delicate and healthy scents. Which upon application, are extremely relaxing. The face scrub is delicate, but gets the job done. Plus the hand lotion from the immune line is just superb.
