Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum & Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum

Skin care 5/31/2016

This time I had the opportunity to try out the Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing serum. What I like the most about Valentia is that their products are suitable for all skin types. This brand is know for their alcohol and parabens free products also.

"Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum - A potent and luxurious lactic acid serum that supports natural circulation for an all over youthful and refreshed complexion.

This Revitalizing Serum Will:

- Renew texture & tone

- Deeply moisturize

- Minimize fine lines

- Increase elasticity

- Brighten & Plumbs Fine Lines

- Evens Hyperpigmentation"

I've using this serum for almost 3 weeks. I appy it before going to bed. I was afraid at the beggining because as you guys know I have oily skin and the cream felt too moisturizing -Which is not bad, but It'd make my skin oilier- But did I mention they suites all skin types? My skin didn't feel oilier but it was smoother and brighter after every use. Get yours at Amazon.

KEY INGREDIENTS

- Kaolin Clay:Clay minerals draw impurities, improve skin tone, and tighten pores for smoother firmer skin.

- Plant Stem Cells:Naturally decreases the level of pro-aging toxins and works to soother the skin, reduce redness, and improve evenness.

- Spirulina:A botanical stimulant full of vitamins that hydrates the skins surface and contributes to tissue regeneration of the skin.

- CoQ10:Lessens the appearance of wrinkles by reducing free radical damage and stimulating health collagen production.

- Hibiscus & Cranberry Fibers:Both lend their anti-aging properties to firm and reinforce the skin, helping to reduce the creation of new wrinkles

This one is an "exfoliating mask" and smells wonderful. I don't know why buy every time I use it I feel like at a spa. First I apply the mask all over my face avoiding the eye area. Then after 20 minutes I wash my face and voila! my skin looks fresh and clean. You can get yours at Amazon.-

True Whipped Stain Gloss review

Makeup 5/26/2016

How are you doing this week? I know It's been a long time since the last post but I've been so busy at work and college lately that I didn't have time for my blog. ugh, At least, I had time to share some products and tips with you on Instagram. Ok, that's not the topic for today.

I received 5 full sized samples from Studio Gear cosmetics like a 3 weeks ago and I was really excited to try out those lippies out, because I love trying out new brands and products.

"Studio Gear Cosmetics is a prestigious cosmetics brand featuring a full collection of professional makeup brushes, revolutionizing complexion formulas, and a wide selection of color products for the eyes, cheeks, and lips."

I fell in love with those lippies at first sight. First of all, Their packaging looks fantastic. When I apply the first one I noticed they were neither too satin nor too matte -which I liked pretty much because they don't look so dry on your lips- I loved all the shades also because I think they'll look good in almost every skin tone.

Where can you get one of them? You can get yours at Studio Gear website for only 17 usd each. But they are mini sizes available too!

NOTD Revlon 580 "Eclectic"

Nails 4/26/2016

Hey guys! Today I'm using the Revlon 580 Eclectic nail polish. As you can see this shade is lighter enough for spring because is between the blues and the greens so that's pretty much why I got it!

I love Revlon's polishes. They last like a week or so, the bottle looks pretty "fancy" and you have a large range of shades to choose.
And what about you? Do you own a Revlon nail polish? Which shade? Let us know

Valentia's Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

Skin care 3/20/2016

A few weeks ago, I received from Valentia's the Royal Rose Hydrating Serum. I was very excited to try it out, I really love Valentia's products because they're alcohol and parabens free but also suitable for all skin types! So let's get started!

About the Product

A lightweight serum that boosts moisture and resilience while soothing and calming the skin.Specially selected ingredients work together to achieve optimum results.

- Rose Damascena: One of the most nourishing and skin friendly natural oils, providing balance, moisture, and a variety of vitamins and minerals to the skin.

- Niacinamide (Vitamin B): This potent vitamin has been clinically proven to fade away hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne..

- Rosehip Seed Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamins C & A, these essential fatty acids work quickly to lock in skin's moisture.

- Evening Primrose Oil: Provides light, non-oily moisture to the skin, never clogging or irritating the skin.

- Bearberry: Reduces melanin production, thereby lightening the skin, revealing a brighter complexion.

- Lavender: Heals the skin, treating pimples, wounds, and sores.

My review

As you have read before, this serum contains Rose Damascena, Evening Primrose Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil, so I thought I would make my skin oilier but I was wrong!. It has really helped to moisturize my skin without feeling my skin oilier after I use it. It has a creamy consistency and a wonderful rose smell.

Recently I was looking for some benefits of its ingredients on the internet and I found out that those ingredients works pretty well on stretch marks. So, I wanted to give it a try and started using the serum on my stretch marks and I am very surprised it worked! They started to fade out in the second application! My skin is very soft and brighter, too. I didn't take any 'before' and 'after' pictures, because to be honest I didn't think I could get rid of my violet stretch marks anymore. I think I found another use for this wonderful Serum. Well done Valentia! ♥

You can get yours at Amazon or Valentia's website.

OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel

Skin care 2/28/2016

Hi! How are you doing this weekend? Today here I am with a new post as promised, and it's about the "OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel". I'd used a lot of eye creams in the past but, to be honest, I've never tried an eye gel before. So, I stopped using my current eye cream a few weeks ago so that I can test this eye gel and see the results.

About the product

♥It's considered to be the most effective anti aging, eye cream treatment available- designed to treat every major eye concern & is hands down the best eye gel for dark circles, puffiness & wrinkles.

♥CRUELTY FREE & vegan formula

♥Highly effective at reducing dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles.

♥Safe for all skin Types

♥Does not contain parabens, sulfates or alcohol.

♥Formulated for the delicate skin around your eyes to reverse the signs of aging.

My review

First of all, I think all OZ Naturals products are amazing. As the " Ultra Ageless eye cream" , this eye gel is considered to be the most effective for Dark Circles, Puffiness & Wrinkles. The results didn't "wow" me, maybe because I don’t have many wrinkles. I apply it at night before going to bed.It smells like cucumber and a little bit of aloe. But at least my eye area is very soft and smooth. I prefer the Ultra ageless eye cream instead. I used it for a week so I'm gonna give it another chance.

Valentia Ultimate skin repair & hydration combo

Skin care 2/21/2016

A few weeks ago, I received the " Valentia Ultimate skin repair & hydration combo". Having healthy skin is very important to me, that's why I consider myself as a skincare addicted. I have been testing out the "Ultra plumping hydration mask" and the "True Glow Eye cream" these past few weeks, so let's get started.

"A blend of silk protein amino acids and botanical hyaluronic acid work together to flood the skin with moisture providing intense hydration and nourishment. The result is a softer more luminous looking complexion that feels rejuvenated from the inside out"

The main ingredients are:

Silk protein amino acid blend.
Botanical hyaluronic acid.
Organic sea Buckthorn oil.
Aloe vera.
Japanese green tea.
Organic Rosehip seed oil.

Plus:

The mask itself is yellow in color and has a creamy texture. It has a good smell also. I applied to my face avoiding the eye area and I left it on for 25 minutes. Having a slight tingling sensation is completely normal.

After I washed my face, I noticed my pores looked minimized and my skin moisturized. As I said before it promises to increase skin radiance and it's true! I'll add it to my skin care routine.

January favorites

Skin care 2/17/2016

Hi! Hope all of you are doing great. This post is about my January favorites. Since spring is coming, I want to share with you some products I've been loving lately. Let's get started...

I've always wanted to find out which product I should use for filling my brows. I wanted to get natural-looking brows because I was afraid to change the "shape" of my brows. I tried so many brows pomades and pencil until I found the one that I think it's perfect for me.

The Amuse Brow Pencil naturally fills in your brows and leaves the smooth finish that everybody is looking for. Since I have black brows, I decided to choose a dark brown shade to get perfect and good-looking eyebrows.

I recieved this eyeshadow trio and bronzer for my birthday but It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when I used them for the first time. As you can see the shades are pigmented enough but they are sold individually.

The bronzer looks so much shimmery, that's why I didn't like it at all. Since I have oily skin, a shimmery bronzer it's something I can't feel comfortable with. I use it as an eyeshadow instead.
