I compiled a list of my top 10 makeup products of the week in my first Marta Walsh video blog.

Or watch on Youtube here.

You are going to see more of these videos of me talking about makeup, skincare, and just my adventures as a beauty blogger and an interviewer for BeautyInterviews.com

Because this was my first video blog I only mentioned 9 products instead of 10. Sorry everyone, but here it is, product number 10: Function Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation in Light L1-L2 by Smashbox Cosmetics. It is on my top 10 list of the week because it gives my skin great coverage in no time. I use it with different brushes to achieve different finishes. Big powder brush all over my face and a small brush under my eyes and around the nose and moth. 

List of products in the video include:

1. Pigment in Gold Mode by MAC Cosmetics.
2. XXL Volume+Length Microfiber Mascara by Maybelline New York.
3. Aveeno Active Naturals Intense Relief Overnight Cream.
4. Give Me The Shimmers Body Powder Sexy Little Things by Victoria’s Secret Beauty.

December 2008, PCA Skin will launch brightening therapy with TrueTone, the universal remedy for hyperpigmentation. This innovative combination of natural and bioengineered brighteners is clinically proven to reduce all types of skin discoloration. It offers dramatic reduction and prevention of hyperpigmentation for all sensitivity levels.

One major cause of dark patches in the skin is inflammation. Traditional treatment options for hyperpigmentation are typically irritating, therefore only appropriate for those with more resilient skin. Use of these traditional treatments can lead to an increase in discoloration rather than a clear complexion in sensitive and ethnic skin.

PCA Skin’s proprietary blend ‘TrueTone’ combines clinically proven ingredients that not only inhibit the production of tyrosinase (the enzyme responsible for initiating the pigment response), but also act as powerful antioxidants. This is important as skin being treated with tyrosinase inhibitors is more susceptible to free radical damage. Daily use of a moisturizer with SPF is a critical part of every skin care regimen, especially those designed for pigment control.

Brightening therapy with TrueTone combines brightening power, antioxidant action and strong anti-inflammatory benefits delivered in a light, hydrating and cosmetically elegant lotion, appropriate for dry and oily skin alike.

The company’s deep scientific knowledge of the process of hyperpigmentation made this breakthrough formulation possible. Now healthy, clear and even skin is within reach for all.

This unique scientific formulation joins the PCA Skin line of clinically-researched daily care products including advanced serums, evening moisturizers, broad-spectrum moisturizers with SPF and specialty products to effectively treat multiple skin types and conditions.

I have been trying products from PCA Skin this past week and I absolutely love them.

Everything about PCA Skin is brilliant: their simple yet elegant product packaging. Their products smell clean, are not too greasy and absorbed quickly by the skin. PCA Skin makes me feel like I just stepped out from a 1 hour professional facial at a spa.

Here are some fact about PCA Skin: it is a leading clinical skin care company in the development of professional chemical peels and advanced topicals for nearly 20 years, PCA SKIN was the first cosmeceutical company to provide scientifically researched daily care products and professional treatments to the medical and clinical aesthetics markets and is acknowledged in medical textbooks as the originator of advanced blended chemical peel formulations.

Founder Margaret Ancira, a licensed aesthetician, began partnering with renowned physicians and scientists in 1990 to help create PCA SKIN’s innovative formulations that are available exclusively through doctors and licensed skin care professionals throughout the United States and in 60 countries worldwide. PCA SKIN has distributors in Canada, Norway, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Portugal and the Philippines.

These are the products I have tried from PCA Skin so far:

1. PCA Skin Facial Wash: A refreshing skin friendly AHA and aloe cleanser that gently and effectively removes makeup and environmental impurities while leaving the skin supple and pH balanced. An excellent choice for normal and sensitive skin types.

2. PCA Skin Smoothing Toner: A combination of vitamins, enzymes, pumpkin wine, amino acids, lactic and citric acids to help refine pores, remove superficial dead skin cells, and strengthen the skin. This solution is designed for normal to dry, mature skin and those with sensitive, breakout-prone skin.

3. PCA Skin Retinol Renewal with restorAtive Complex: with a unique blend of stabilized retinol and ‘phyto’retinol’ that helps to increase epidermal moisture and encourage healthy cell growth, while protecting and increasing hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and other important components of the skin’s support structure.

 4. PCA Skin Apres Peel Hydrating Balm: A soothing moisturizer with the added hydrating, plumping and collagen building action of phytohormones from chasteberry and soy isoflavones. It is most appropriate for normal to dry and mature skin.

5. PCA Skin Protecting Hydrator SPF 25: A nourishing moisturizer formulated with aloe and vitamins A, C and E for normal, dry and mature skin types for daily broad-spectrum UV protection and hydration.Offers additional emollience to dry skin during the winter season; also serves as a soothing moisturizer for those in dry climates.

6. PCA Skin Perfecting Body Hydrator SPF 30: This advanced moisturizer helps prevent and improve skin discoloration, and provides broad-spectrum UV protection. The light and nourishing blend of aloe, antioxidants and skin brighteners leaves skin smooth and super hydrated.
