Review: L’Oréal Paris Youth Code Day/Night Cream #L’OréalParis #YouthCode

youth code day-night cream
This daily moisturizer regenerates skin’s youthful qualities so that it looks rested, smoother and more luminous. Signs of stress, fatigue and aging are diminished. The luxurious formula leaves a light, velvety smooth finish on the skin. Apply in the morning to illuminate the skin and apply at night to give it an overnight recovery. After one week of use skin looks more luminous and youthful. 

I was lucky enough to have the L’Oréal Paris Youth Code Day/Night Cream for a while before I did the review. After using it for a while I can truly say that it leaves skin feeling very soft, looking more youthful and definitely looking de-stressed. I have a lot of stress in my life lately and it does show up in my skin. This cream applies nicely and sinks in immediately. I prefer using it at night because it does not have a sunscreen. The L’Oréal Paris Youth Code products are excellent products and I have enjoyed using all of them, I think they actually do a great job of helping to make skin look and feel good.

L’Oréal Paris Youth Code Day/Night Cream is available in a 1.7 oz/48 g jar for $24.99. Purchase online at www.lorealparisusa.com and www.drugstore.com. Purchase in stores at Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS and Wal-Mart.  Like L’Oréal Paris on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lorealparis; Follow L’Oréal Paris on Twitter: @LOrealParisUSA; Subscribe to their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/lorealparisnyc and Follow L’Oréal Paris on Instagram: http://instagram.com/lorealparisusa#.

Review: L’Oréal Paris Youth Code Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate #L’OREALPARIS #YOUTHCODE

youth code texture perfector serum concentrateL’Oréal Paris takes skin care to the next level with their new serum concentrate. Youth Code™ Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate helps to visibly perfect skin tone, texture, pores and fine lines. It works with 2% LR2412, an ingredient that visibly corrects these flaws revealing petal soft skin, with tightened pores and reduced lines. In consumer assessments, 70% of women experienced tightened less visible pores in one week. 80% saw smoother texture, also in one week. In 1 month, women state that pores appear smaller, fine lines are reduced and texture is smoother. Overall, 79% of women report seeing an improvement in skin quality.
 
I have used this for a few weeks now and I can attest that my skin texture is definitely better. Skin is softer, the line that I had forming on my forehead has decreased some and most of all my pores have definitely decreased in size. The serum is not so much like a thin serum but more like a light lotion. I recommend using it after cleansing and if Youth Code Skin Perfector Serumyou have any other serums to use. I have been using it around my eyes, but I say this is not necessarily recommended. I had good results though using it there. 
After using the Youth Code™ Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate, it is recommended to use the Youth Code™ Texture Perfector Day/Night Cream for best results. I definitely think that I would have better results using both of these together. I liked that this didn’t break me out either, as I had issues with other 
Youth CodeTM products causing a lot of breakouts. This product is much better and I didn’t have any issues. It does have some silicones in it,but companies but that in for slip and it doesn’t affect the final product’s performance. It also has a good number of hydrating ingredients, which do help in creating the soft supple skin that you want from a product. This is a good buy and I do think many would find it will work well for them.

Youth Code™ Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate is $24.99 and is available on www.lorealparisusa.com, mass market retailers such as Walgreens, Rite-Aid and Wal-Mart.

Review: Bellafab Matrixyl 3000 Serum Review

 

bellafab matrixyl serum

Although Matrixyl is infamous for wrinkle reduction, it needs to be in a good quantity for it work. I found this serum to be lacking in its ability for work as needed for best wrinkle reduction. I think it is an okay serum that does a menial job at best. It may work for light fine lines and wrinkles but maybe not for in depth ones,

Sally Beauty: THE Place For All Of Your BeautyNeeds! #SallyBeauty #beauty #professionalbeauty #beautyneeds #SallyBeautyVIP


(This is a sponsored post) (Sally Beauty logo courtesy of www.sallybeauty.com)

As someone who is a disabled person and esthetician I need to shop for my beauty supplies at a place that has everything. Luckily there is such a place. Sally Beauty has everything for all of my beauty needs. They carry hair color from major professional brands such as L’Oreal and Clairol, shampoos, conditioners, nail enamels from the likes of the ever popular OPI and China Glaze, waxing supplies, hair extensions, hair color needs, shears, irons, makeup, etc. The list is endless because Sally Beauty carries an amazing array of supplies for the beauty professional and the lay person who wants to buy for themselves.

I was given gift cards and the chance to purchase some items for myself, so that I could see the multitude of items that they carry. I wanted to purchase items that I knew I would use. I shop at Sally Beauty all of the time. My oldest daughter uses the Color Brilliance ion Demi-Permanent color on her hair (she has pink hair). I love the Color Brilliance line for my hair also, and have been known to use the Intense Red shade. We often go there to get nail polish from OPI (for our toes!). I had been using my Sally Beauty Beauty Club discount card. This card gets you member pricing on anything in the store. I think this is somewhere around 10%-15% off regular pricing. I did apply for the Professional card though, as I had my license with me. With this card you can get a significant discount on items in the store. With the professional discount I was able to purchase more items. This card is reserved for cosmetologists, estheticians and nail technicians.

items from Sally Beauty trip
Here are the items I purchased: (some items were on special with a buy one get one free deal). My favorite items that I usually purchase are all these items here:
  • one ‘n only Argan Oil Moisture Repair Shampoo
  • one ‘n only Argan Oil Hydrating Mask
  • one ‘n only Argan Oil Crème-to-Serum Styler
  • Hair Chemist Coconut Oil Shampoo
  • Hair Chemist Hair Serum
  • Color Brilliance ion Intense Red 7RR hair color
  • Color Brilliance ion Hot Red Intensifier
  • OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener
  • OPI Down to the Coreal nail polish
  • Finger Paints Tails Of Love
  • Finger Paints Sea Temptress
  • Finger Paints Underwater Enchantress
  • Brow Boss Brow Shaping Scissors
  • Femme Couture Eye Drama Glitter Eyeliner in rockin’ rose
  • Palladio herbal eyeshadow quad in spellbound
  • Palladio Lipgloss in Eleventh Gorgeous
  • Palladio Glitter Eyeliner in Brown Sparkle
  • Ardell Brow Defining Palette Medium
  • Beautique Long Wear Automatic Lip Liner in Natural
  • Beautique Long Wear Automatic Lip Liner in Dusk

All of these items (with discounts and the buy one get one free deals) came to total $100.00. That is a lot of stuff for that amount of money. Had I not had the discounts I would not have been able to get that much. Even with the Beauty Club discount I would have been able to get a lot of items. Sally Beauty has a good variety of items. If you need to color your hair they have everything you need, from the caps and capes to the bottles and brushes. If you want nail polish, they have a good variety of brands and types of polishes, even gel polishes. Should you want to remove hair, they carry waxing supplies too! I also love the brands of makeup they carry. Palladio is a great brand for the price! The items are all pigmented and wear quite well.

It is so easy to purchase from Sally Beauty, as the store is well organized and the people who work there are very knowledgeable. They are also very helpful! I have never had a bad experience purchasing anything at their stores and if there is a problem, they have a good return policy.

Sally Beauty has a great online presence. Go to www.sallybeauty.com and shop for the items that you need. They carry items not available in the store.

Review: FARMHOUSE FRESH Skincare #FarmhouseFresh

 (photos courtesy of www.farmhousefreshgoods.com)

Farmhouse Fresh Award Winning Facial Skincare Collection is 90-99% natural and is made in Texas. The items took 2 years to develop and were clinically tested to make sure that they really work. All of the products are paraben free, phthalate free and sulfate free. The fragrances in the products are all natural. Many of the products are vegan and gluten free. They consider the products very whimsical, not only making them out of love, but making the products fun to use and making the products work wonderfully too. I was able to try out a few of the products and here is what I think of the ones I did get to try out!


Green Tea Milk Wash Cream Cleanser 6 fl.oz./177.4 mL $26.00
green-tea-milk-wash-6
This cleanser is a creamy and very gentle pH balanced cleanser that can be used to remove makeup, debris, mascara, etc. It leaves skin feeling soft and feeling hydrated. It was developed to provide soothing comfort and has nourishing coconut milk, green tea extract that contains polyphenols and anti-inflammatory properties that are good for delicate skin tissue. It also contains sodium hyaluronate to boost skin’s moisture content and prevent moisture loss. The cool, minty fresh feel leaves you feeling refreshed. Sold in a 6 oz. plastic bottle that is great for travel.
I think this is a great cleanser for those with normal to drier skins. It does leave skin feeling soft and smooth. This cleanser helps to protect skin and is a good comforting cleanser.


Sand Your Ground Clarifying Mud Exfoliation Mask 4.2 fl.oz./119 g $36.00
sand-your-ground-clarifying-mud-exfoliation-mask-6
This is a dual scrub/mask that is a treat for those with dull, lackluster skin. It contains medium-grain powdered volcanic pumice that polishes skin smooth. Red Arizona Montmorillonite Clay absorbs bacteria and toxins. Willow Bark extract soothes skin to a poreless finish. It can be used as a scrub only or as a scrub and mask. All you have to do is let it dry before rinsing. I only have one concern about this scrub. The pumice is a little strong for some people. I would recommend scrubbing lightly if you have sensitive skin or use only as a mask if you have blemishes. If you can take it, this scrub is actually quite divine, leaving skin looking beautiful. Just be careful of doing too much exfoliation.


Crow Catcher Eye Perfecting Serum .5 fl.oz./14.7 mL $46.00
crow-catcher-eye-perfecting-serum-6
This serum has been clinically tested and has been shown to get rid of crow’s feet. It contains dermatologist-developed peptides and a complex nutrient algae that visibly improves the entire eye area. In clinical tests wrinkle depth was reduced by 58% over a 2 month period. 91% of the participants saw that crow’s feet, lines, wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness were reduced. In 7 days 100% of the participants wanted to add Crow Catcher to their regular regimen. Visible wrinkles were shown to be reduced by 60.4% in clinical tests. 

I tried Crow Catcher and found it to be very nice. Even though I don’t have crow’s feet, I still have some puffiness and dryness in the eye area that I deal with daily. The dryness make little fine lines appear when there is very little moisture in the eye area. Crow Catcher is light, white serum that (when applied) sinks right into skin leaving looking better than before. This serum helps with puffiness, dark circles and fine lines and wrinkles because of the great peptides that are in it. The serum is vegan and gluten free and is 98% natural.

Spotted Leaving Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum 1fl.oz./30 mL  $55.00
spotted-leaving-spot-and-pigment-lightening-serum-6
This serum was selected at one of the Top 25 products for Spring by Town and Country magazine. The multipurpose serum is for anyone who wants a more radiant even skin tone. Used twice daily, the clinically tested advance peptide serum reduced skin discolorations more effectively than several leading prescription ingredients at similar concentrations. This gentle formula also includes multiple calming ingredients to promote healing and soothing with anti-inflammatory ingredients that reduce signs of irritation, plus a full alphabet of vitamins (A,B,C and E). This serum is lightweight, is absorbs easily and was developed to reduce the look of sun and age spots. It does not however reduce old acne scars.

This serum is great for those of us with hyperpigmentation from sun damage. Lighten up your spots with ease and leave them gone in a flash! This serum (when used daily) will last for up to 2 months.

Wine Down Overnight Super Antioxidant Recovery Serum 1 fl.oz./30mL $55.00
wine-down-overnight-super-antioxidant-recovery-serum-6
A good anti-oxidant serum is essential for an anti-aging regimen. This serum is great because it contains many vitamins and anti-oxidants. It has been clinically tested to show 5.8 times more anti-oxidant capacity than the leading department store moisturizer. Use this serum at night to make skin look brighter, make pores look 61% more reduced, provide 24 hours of hydration in one use and reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. A peptide that significantly reduces the look of dark circles was also added to this amazing serum. InStyle magazine selected Wine Down as one of the best products for serious skin repair. It contains Resveratrol, which has been extracted from Texas winery grapes. It also contains ECGC, the active polyphenol in Green Tea known for abundant anti-oxidant content. Organic Gotu Kola and Chamomile Flower extracts, a host of anti-irritants and anti-bacterials promote healing and soothing as you sleep.

This is a great serum for anti-aging concerns. I do like the ingredients and feel that if you have concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, dark circles or large pores then this is a great serum to add into your regimen. The prime ingredients in this serum are excellent anti-aging ingredients that are some of the best on the market today. This definitely has a great effect on pore size, helping to reduce them and it also can be used under the eyes to help with dark circles. 
 

Farmhouse Fresh Skincare is an emerging brand that you will definitely be hearing more about. With accolades from sources such as the Daily Candy’s Best of Beauty, InStyle, Town and Country, Oprah’s O-List, E Online, Elle Canada Hot List and Redbook’s Most Valuable Beaut Product this brand is on the rise and soon will be a familiar brand name. These products promise results, have been clinically tested to show that they do indeed provide results and are made with up to 99% natural ingredients.

L’Occitane Presents Frisson de Verveine (Verbena): A Crisp, Vibrant Summer Fragrance #L’Occitane

(photos courtesy of www.loccitane.com)
l'occitane verbena

This lemony fresh herb that grows in Provence, France is called Verveine (Verbena). It is the perfect complement for summer because it is light, crisp and airy. The L’Occitane Frisson de Verveine Collection will leave you feeling perfectly happy with the Eau de Toilette, Gel for Legs and Feet, Hand Gel Cream, Shower Gel, Body Gel and Refreshing Mist. 


Frisson Verbena Eau de Toilette 3.4 oz. $55.00
l'occitane frisson verbena eau de toilette
A very light citrus fragrance that will leave you feeling like you just stepped into a garden in the south of France. The summer means the beginning of the verbena harvest. As they make their way to the distillery, the leaves travel alongside rivers and streams, where their invigorating scent blends with the freshness of running water. L’Occitane has captured this journey in a fragrance. This sparkling, aqueous summer fragrance blends top notes of lemon and bergamot with a heart note of verbena and cucumber to come up with your perfect summer fragrance. A revitalizing scent, it also contains organic verbena from Provence and a natural spring water extract. 



Frisson Verbena Gel for Legs and Feet 2.5 fl. oz. $22.00
l'occitane gel for legs and feet
If your legs get tired and worn out, then this gel is the perfect solution for you. The ultra-light gel helps to relieve legs and feet after a hot summer day. Formulated with a combination of cypress essential oil and althea officinalis, it helps to refresh skin and tired legs by soothing them. As part of the Frisson de Verveine collection, the Ice Gel contains organic verbena from Provence and a natural spring water extract. 

The gel is extremely soothing for tired legs and feet. I found that it also works even better when left in the refrigerator for a little while before applied to the legs and feet. Try that and you will love the effect!


Frisson Verbena Hand Cream Gel 1 oz. $12.00
l'occitane verbena hand cream gel
This special hand cream gel is enriched with mint essential oil, which is known for its refreshing properties. It moisturizes and refreshes hands, leaving them delicately perfumed with the sparkling scent of Frisson de Verveine. As with all the products in this range, the hand cream gel contains organic verbena from Provence and a natural spring water extract. 

If you are in need of a hand cream, then I suggest this one. Not only is it a great hand cream, but it is also a gel formula and it comes in a small size that is perfect for travel too. It leaves skin feeling particularly soft and smelling divine.

Review: AcnEase Herbal Acne Treatment #AcnEase #acne #acnetreatment

(photo courtesy of www.acnease.com)
AcnEaseI am a 43 years old and I am suffering from cursed acne lesions. I actually never had acne as a teenager but developed mild acne because I have an IUD. It is unfortunate that the very mild hormones in the IUD can cause acne lesions but they do. It is one of the main side effects of the device. I have tried several things to help heal and prevent these lesions but to no avail. Until I decided to try out AcnEase. This is an herbal supplement that you take several times per day and it actually can get rid of acne lesions completely! How amazing is that? I am so ecstatic and over-the-moon happy about this.

The condition of my skin plays a very important role in my life, since I am an esthetician and a beauty blogger. People do not want to take skincare advice from someone with bad skin! However, it is a fact of life that acne cannot be helped. It is often a hormonal issue that can stay with someone until she/he is in their 40’s. Treating acne lesions has been a bit of a hit and miss at times for most people. I was extremely skeptical about AcnEase. I had, until this time, been treating my acne with chemical peels (alpha hydroxy acids and beta hydroxy acids) which were doing an okay job but were not perfect. My acne was mainly seasonal and hormonal in nature. I needed something more to kick its butt. I even had minor cysts.

How does AcnEase work? What is it made from? What is the treatment protocol? AcnEase prevents the formation of new pimples, whiteheads, blackheads and cysts. It significantly improves the symptoms associated with adult acne, hormonal acne, cystic acne, teen acne and body acne. Rosacea symptoms are also improved.  

AcnEase works by restoring the natural balance that endocrine changes, stress and diet can all disrupt on the body, thus causing acne. It is a natural herbal remedy that does not treat the external symptoms, such as blemishes but instead treats the underlying causes by moderating hormonal symptoms and other factors such as the secretion of sebum by the sebaceous glands. When sebum is mixed with dirt, sweat, dead skin cells and bacteria that leads to clogged pores and inflammation which is the cause of blemishes (pimples and cysts). AcnEase can produce results in as little as 1-2 weeks. Improvement is seen in cysts, whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or rashes. A minimum of 1 month treatment must be completed to see results. For those with chronic or hard to treat acne, an increased dose and an extended length of time will be needed to see better results. 

AcnEase achieves great results without the long-term use of antibiotics or the irritation/drying of benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. It has been shown that benzoyl peroxide can increase skin aging, slow healing of the skin and in associated with an increase in skin cancer risks. Salicylic acid dries out the skin in higher doses, causes irritation and redness. It also gives only short term acne relief. Most important of all, AcnEase does not have any side effects and does not have any special sun restrictions like other OTC acne medications and is therefore considered safe for both short and long term use in both adolescents and adults. 
Even though I have very mild acne, I was advised to use the moderate regimen because I had a cyst once. For this regimen, I took 12 tablets per day divided into 4 tablets 3x per day for two months. Then after two months I went down to 2 tablets 2x day for a few weeks. If I started to experience any problems then I could go back up to the levels where I had no breakouts for a couple of weeks and then go back down again. The treatments are personalized to what the person is experiencing. It all depends on what type of acne the person is experiencing. My acne went away completely I am happy to report. I feel good about the results of this trial and I would recommend AcnEase to anyone, teenager, adult, male or female. It took a few weeks to see the maximum results but I did see them and I still do not have any blemishes 3 months out. I am on my maintenance treatment and still have not had any blemishes at all.

AcnEase was developed by Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, who has spent her career working with botanical medicines. The product is a proprietary blend of herbs such as gardenia fruit, dandelion, balsam pear and leaf mustard. It is safe for anyone and is good for teens, adults (men and women). The mild treatment is $79.00 for a month’s supply; the moderate treatment is $129.00; the severe treatment is $175, body acne is $195; rosacea is $129 a month and the maintenance is $35 per month.

Sinful Colors Full Throttle Collection #SinfulColors


This summer Sinful Colors has some great new collections for you to check out! This next collection I am going to discuss is the Full Throttle Collection, a pedal to the medal collection that has some really racy shades. These shades are rubberized textures! The starting lineup features five smoking hot hues that will put your nails into overdrive. The ramped-up texturized shades range from radiant red to a powerful punch of purple to fiery orange. The polishes retail for $1.99 and are available from Rite-Aid in July 2014 and  Walgreens in August 2014.
 
The colors in the Full Throttle Collection are:

Rain Rubber: A brilliant burnout blue

Burn Rubber: A fiery-fueled orange

Race Rubber: A powerful punch of purple

Rubber Ball: A passionate pit stop pink

Red Tired: A racy, radiant red


The rubberized finish is a bit different. What I like most about it is that it helps the polish to dry quicker and it wears a long time too. The colors are great for summer since they are more sultry than most of the usual colors put out. The colors I tried, Burn Rubber and Race Rubber, are two shades that are definitely summer shades. These shades are perfect for matching up with a self-tanner. The nail polish with a rubberized texture is a new, fun texture. Texturized polishes are all the rage right now and if I were you I would ride the wave as long as possible!
