Best things to buy at the 2020 Sephora Fall Sale!

November 7, 2020 by luxelife9_uqniwh 115 Comments

Hey! Know the latest news? It is not about politics or whichever, right! Duh!?

It’s the biggest Holiday Savings event of the year… SEPHORA is ON SALE!!!

Get ready girls and gals! Pick up those lappies and find out which on your wish lists have been dropping with discounts.

Me? Here are some of the skincare products I have purchased this week and of course added MORE already to my basket! Haha-I need help!

How about you? Take a look! You may want it, too.

I love this serum because it is very gentle and non-irritating. A great option if you are just starting to use AHA in your skin regimen.

• THE ORDINARY – Lactic Acid 5% + HA

This 5-per cent liquid formula offers very mild exfoliation for normal skin. It is free of parabens, also vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free. Good for fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, and uneven texture. The Tasmanian pepperberry helps to calm and soothe your skin after exfoliation. Best to use once per day, ideally in the evening. To reduce its strength can be diluted with other treatments until the skin develops its tolerance. Avoid contact with eyes and when irritation occurs, stop using it and consult a physician. It is advisable to patch testing before use because of its AHA content. I’m using sunscreen and wears protective clothing when going out. It may increase the skin’s sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn when exposed within a week of use.

• Next on my list is the KVD Vegan Beauty – Lock-it Foundation

What excites me the most about this foundation is the matte finish in medium sand undertone shades. A full-coverage liquid foundation perfect for my all-day wear, easy application, and blends on my skin well. It is free of parabens and phthalates. The good thing with Lock-it Foundations is that it is transfer-resistant and truly stays on my face longer and not on the clothes or anywhere else. This foundation best partnered with Lock-it Hydrating Primer (sold separately) to make sure our skin is well-hydrated before applying.

• And to add more to my collection, I have Matte Perfection Powder Foundation from Sephora in Porcelain Pink color with plenty of shades to choose from. A creamy powder foundation, weightless, buildable coverage. A pressed powder that flexes and moves with the skin in a natural-matte finish. No cracks, cake, or any suffocating feels on the skin. Using the sponge applicator, just simply sweep and blend. For others who want to apply for lighter coverage, apply this using the Sephora Collection Classic Multitasker Powder Brush #45.

For defining my eyebrows and highlighting it, I chose these two of my most faves:

• BENEFITS COSMETICS – Goof Proof Waterproof Easy Shape & Fill Eyebrow Pencil

I love the warm medium brown color. It is super-easy filling and shaping eyebrow pencil with 12 available shades to flatter every hair color. Lots of amazing colors to choose from, so whatever your skin type, this is an A+!

This Goof Proof Brow Pencil features a custom tip that easily shapes, defines, and fills in brows. It effortlessly blends up to 12 hours. I can feel its softness when I apply it, a glide-on color that creates naturally-full-looking and beautiful brows. And it’s waterproof!

There have been clinical results where out of 109 women used this after a week (from a consumer panel survey); 95% said it was easy to fill and shape brows. In an instrumental test on 20 panellists, the color lasted for 12 hours. Another 22 panellists say that the color is indeed waterproof.

• BENEFITS COSMETICS – High Brow Glow Eyebrow Highlighting Pencil

And to redefine my brows with a luminous that instantly illuminates and visibly lifts my brows is this one! It has creamier and more blendable formula. Very subtle highlight and looks super cute under my brows. It is a champagne-pink shade with an eye-catching luminous finish accentuates arches, makes eyes pop, and gives the brow area a lifted look.

And for the Highliner Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner, I love March Jacobs’. This eyeliner comes with shimmer, matte and satin finish with lots of color collection that would best suit our mood.

This waterproof gel pot eyeliner in a crayon lasts for 12 hours. An exclusive to Marc Jacobs Beauty, it is the super malleable formula that offers versatility, flawless, and a luxury experience of a gel eyeliner.

An Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner Highliner. It’s a perfect all-around eyeliner!

These three are my fore-keeps and always on my make-up kit.

To spice up my daily favorites, the next items I got are best of the best, iconic, smudge-proof, lip tint, and cheek stain.

• BENEFITS COSMETICS – Benetint Rose Lip & Cheek Tint

The Benetint Rose Lip & Cheek Tint is formulated with Water (Aqua), Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Carmine (CI 75470), Methylparaben, Fragrance (Parfum), Tetrasodium Edta, Geraniol, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Maltodextrin, Benzyl Salicylate, BHT.

I apply this on my lips and layering it to build intensity. Sometimes I put on some lip gloss to have a pouty look. For my cheeks, I put a dot and blend it. The color is so natural-looking and long-lasting, it can stay almost all day. For a healthy-looking and dewy glow, you can wear under High Beam(a satin highlighter which can be sold separately) on cheeks.

• NARS – Orgasm Oil-Infused Lip Tint

I love the peach-pink shades with golden shimmer!

Getting a high shine finish, non-greasy feel and a surge of hydration on my lips make this NARS Orgasm Oil-Infused Lip Tint special because of a seductively-plush-looking lip. What is more amazing about this product is the hydrating lip oil, and other ingredients such as raspberry seed oil that nourishes lips while protecting against environmental stressors; and pomegranate extract for long-lasting hydration and antioxidants.

Now for the end-of-day regimen, let’s not forget how important to properly remove our makeup and do some skin pampering and leaving-out all the impurities.

• LANCOME Bi- Facil Home & Away Duo

A limited-edition, the two-piece set makes up removal liquid formula that activates when shaken to gently whisk away even waterproof eye makeup while conditioning and refreshing the skin. Two for the price of one! One bottle for home and one for travel, that’s so convenient to use and easy to take any time anywhere. For those who use contact lenses, this product is safe and tested as advised of ophthalmologists, especially if you have sensitive skin. This works well, just soak the activated formula onto a cotton pad and apply around the eyes and lash line to remove eye makeup.

• For all skin-types, here’s The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, hydrating formula with ultra-pure, vegan hyaluronic acid. Parabens and Phthalates FREE. Another Allure Best of Beauty Award winner because of its remarkable formulation. It combines low, medium, and high molecular weight hyaluronic acid, as well as a next-generation H.A. cross polymer. A 2% combined concentration for multi-depth hydration.

I apply a few drops over my entire face in the morning and evening before using creams.

There you have it, my love! My basket is full of beauty collection that made my online shopping experience much exciting and I’m so loving it!

Wait, there’s more!

That is because I got a 20% discount and being one of the Rouge customers, I have enjoyed getting more products like:

• Charlotte Tilbury Mini Magic Cream and Mini Jewel Lip Gloss

This is an iconic duo. Charlotte’s Magic Cream instantly hydrates, plumps, lifts, and smooths my skin for a glowing and dewy complexion. Partnered with Jewel Lip Gloss with glittering jewel inspired pearls. Perfect for birthday gift ideas!

• Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb

The warm, sweet, and spicy scents made me feel a garden-party-like with an enchanting whirl of cattleya, jasmine and rose grounded in patchouli and vanilla.

• SMASHBOX Classic Primer

This product is a great primer to make our skin looks smooth and refines pores and lines so that the makeup will last. It has Vitamins A and E to protect our skin. And of course, vegan and a cruelty-free product.

• Kiehl’S Midnight Recovery Concentrate

I got this night oil that serves as an anti-aging night serum. It helps with skin hydration overnight for a smoother-looking complexion and achieve that radiant glow comes morning.

The Absolute Best Skincare Line under $20 Bucks!

August 14, 2020 by luxelife9_uqniwh 40 Comments

How’s everyone doing? I hope you’re all doing well.
So, I have people asking daily on my Instagram about more inexpensive products and if they are any good so girl, man, I got the tea baby!!! I know the pandemic is hitting some of you harder than others so loves, I bought it ALL and tried it ALL for you!
We are going to talk about the best skin care line that would give you great results without making you have to decide between good skincare and cheap toilet paper! lol.
Have you heard about The Ordinary?
I guess some of you may have heard or was already using some of their products, a lot of theirproducts actually have good reviews.
But before we talk about their products, lets talk about the company behind it.
The Ordinary is a brand from DECIEM, The Abnormal Beauty Company. Yes, they
call themselves that. lol. They started trading in 2013. Now they own and operate more than 10 brands in the beauty world. Some of these brands have already become leaders in their focused categories while some are still waiting impatiently
to be born. They started with 1 product in 1 market.
They now have a growing portfolio of more than 50 products in more than 15 markets. One of the best-known brands under them is The Ordinary. But dont let the name deceive you, they are an evolving collection of treatments that could do extraordinary results for your skin.
Now, lets start to talk about the great products that I tried from their The Ordinary brand.

1. Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 – $12.20

Hyaluronic Acid is found in the skin naturally but its natural function within the skin is not hydration it instead sits on the surface and can draw moisture out of the skin making the surface feel soft and hydrated temporarily while making you feel like
you need more HA after the product is rinsed. This formula uses three forms of HA with varying molecular weights, as well as an HA crosspolymer, to offer multi-depth hydration and visible plumping without drawing water out of the skin solely
to improve temporary surface hydration. This system is supported by the addition of Vitamin B5 which also enhances surface hydration. This will make your skin looks so clear and dewy with no irritation.

2. Lactic Acid 10% + HA – $6.80

Its super lightweight and a little goes a long way. After using this you will definitely see a difference in fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne. Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin, that is why. This 10% formulation offers mild exfoliation and is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation and sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. If you want a milder formula, they have a 5% available for you. But just a reminder, Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive, peeling or compromised skin. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterward.

3. High-Adherence Silicone Primer – $4.90

If you find it difficult to find primers that are effective and do not cause adverse effects, this may be your saving grace. This formula uses advanced adaptive
silicones to act as a matte, hydrating, blurring primer for makeup that looks higher in definition and adheres for longer. The formula can also be used alone as a non-greasy hydrator that reduces the looks of pores and of imperfections. It preps your
face for a smooth, mattifying finish. If you have mature and yet oily/combination skin with this being a silicone-based primer, you may be concerned that this would be too oily feeling for your skin but this does not feel oily and is in fact very light and leaves a very soft, Matt finish on the skin. On the other hand, If you have dry skin and this won’t make your skin look matte. How great is that?

4. 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Moroccan Argan Oil – $6.80

If you have dry skin, this will make your skin feel nourished and smooth. The oil absorbs rather quickly plus it has good coverage for 3 drops. This formulation uses 100% pure Moroccan Argan Seed Oil extracted through a cold-pressing that preserves the integrity of the oils fatty acids, vitamins, phenols (including caffeicacid) and carotenes. Argan oil’s main fatty acid content is made up of oleic acid and
linoleic acid. The oil supports healthy skin and reduces the appearance of flaking. It also adds soft sheen and strength to hair. If you apply it to damp hair and your hair will feel so soft and also shines
throughout the day. And the best thing about it is that it does not have any odor at
all.

5. Vitamin C Suspension 30% in Silicone – $6.80

This product can brighten your skin and soothe your oily t-zone if you have oily skin. It’s also a good product to even out your skin tone. After using it at night, your skin in the morning will be illuminated. It works overnight to brighten your skin and even out the texture. It goes on so smooth & silky and you will not have a lot of stinging at all. Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant that brightens the skin tone and reduces the appearance of signs of aging. This water-free formula provides 30% pure L-Ascorbic Acid which remains completely stable due to the absence of water. Due to the presence of very light silicones, this formulation feels smooth on the skin despite the suspension format of the formulation, avoiding the short-lived gritty feeling of our original formula. This treatment is ideally applied at bedtime since in some cases, higher concentrations of vitamin C could make sensitive skin more prone to irritation and sunburn.

6. AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution – $7.20

You can literally see the glow on your skin after the first application. It’s amazing! If you have sensitive skin, this won’t dry out your skin whatsoever, it really helped congested pores. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) exfoliate the skins topmost surface for a brighter and more even appearance. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) also exfoliate the skin with an extended function to help clear pore congestion. This combined 32%
AHA/BHA solution offers deeper exfoliation to help fight visible blemishes and for improved skin radiance. The formula also improves the appearance of skin texture and reduces the look of fine lines with continued use. This formula contains a very high concentration of free acids. So it is recommended to use only if you are an experienced user of acid exfoliation and your skin is not very sensitive. Although every person is different, so you may want to start slowly and patch test prior to any regular usage.

7. Retinol 0.5% in Squalane – $5.80

If you have super sensitive skin, this might not be a thing for you. This water-free solution contains 0.5% pure Retinol, an ingredient that can reduce the
appearances of fine lines, photodamage and general skin aging. While Retinol has been studied extensively, it is irritating to the skin. Retinol can cause significant irritation, redness, and peeling, especially around the eyes and mouth, in the early
stages of treatment while skin builds tolerance. So if you wanna try this, try using their Retinol 0.2% in Squalane which has a milder formulation. Again, every person’s skin is different, so you may want to start slowly and patch tests prior to any regular usage.

8. Buffet + Copper Peptides 1% – $28.90

This is one of the few products from The Ordinary with an advanced formula that packs multiple benefits. This is not a single-active-ingredient formula like most of their products. This isn’t under $20, I know, but I could say that the price is very fair
for the ingredients. Looked a little strange and felt a bit slimy but it absorbs perfectly into the skin making it plumper and firmer. This formula combines a
comprehensive array of studied technologies to target multiple signs of aging at once. This formula includes a 1% concentration of pure Copper Peptides, increasing its focus on overall skin health. The natural role of these peptides as found in human plasma includes supporting a wide range of skin health functions like maintaining normal immune function, collagen synthesis, fibroblast
production, and anti-inflammatory responses. The inclusion of Copper Peptides offers a natural blue tint to the formula. They really do make your skin heal faster.

9. Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density – $17.90

Yes, this is for the hair not the skin but I want to also share this amazing product of The Ordinary to you. If you have too many hairs falling out, this serum is for you. This concentrated formula is designed to support hair health so that it looks thicker, denser, fuller and healthier. Using this serum you will see that your hair started growing. And the good thing is that it doesn’t leave the hair greasy. It may
be just a bit uncomfortable for some people in applying it since it was in a bottle with dropper. But that doesn’t matter as long as it shows great results. lol. There are a lot of good reviews about this product, this one is absolutely one of the favorites.

10. 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil -$9.80

This one is really great when you want to nourish your skin. You can apply once a day to the face, ideally at bedtime after application of water-based treatments. In the morning your skin will feel smooth and fine after application in the evening.
This formulation uses 100% pure Rosehip Seed Oil that is both cold-pressed and organic. Rosehip Seed Oil is rich in linoleic acid, linolenic acid, and pro-vitamin A, all of which degrade when the oil extraction process involves heat. While cold-
pressed extraction is complex, it preserves all of the quality of this important oil which has been shown to reduce signs of photo-aging and many other skin
conditions. The smell is a bit offputting but that only proves that their Rose Hip Seed Oil is completely unrefined and imparts a natural scent partly due to its high omega fatty acid content since Rose Hip Seed Oil that does not have a scent is refined and
offers reduced benefits. Try it! It may become one of your holy grail!

11. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate Solution 20% in Vitamin F – $17.80

This formula makes skin absolutely glow! It will tackle the persistent hyperpigmentation splotches that you may have on your skin. It can also help
reduce your acne if you are suffering from breakouts. Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate is
an oil-soluble derivative of Vitamin C that can be used in higher concentrations without drawbacks. (It is one of the most stable derivatives of Vitamin C but, being a derivative, its potency will not be directly comparable to pure L-Ascorbic Acid.) Making your skin clearer, smoother, softer, more even in skin tone, feels moisturized, and dark spots clearing up.

These are just some of the amazing products that The Ordinary have. Why not try them if you haven’t already! You may find the best product to tackle the problems that you currently have in your skins. And if you have tried some of their products, share your experience below about using them. Since we all have different skin types, I always recommend patch testing before using any products directly on your face.

The Best Skin Care Products

July 17, 2020 by luxelife9_uqniwh 10 Comments

Your skin deserves the best care. Although we love wearing makeup, we must not neglect to care for our skin. In caring for my skin I am very particular with the products that I use, I even change products based on the season and/or depending on how my skin is doing.

It is important to change products every season since weather can certainly have effects on the skin, particularly its ability to contain moisture. Just like your skin tends to be drying out more than usual in the summer or winter than in the fall or spring, so you need a skincare product that would moisturize your skin during these seasons.

Now, I would like to share with you the skincare products that I love using, and you can also try out depending on the season and the condition of your skin.

DERMALOGICA – Daily Microfoliant, Antioxidant Hydramist, and Multi-Active Toner

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant is a must-have. This product can get rid of old skin cells and can rejuvenate the new skin cells. Your skin will feel clean and glowing and is gentle enough to use every day. And the size lasts a long time so it is worth every penny. I would recommend this if you want to get rid of your acne scars. But I don’t totally recommend this to super sensitive skins.

Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist is a great pH balanced hydrating mist that is full of antioxidants that help to hydrate and fight free radicals in the environment that causes stress on the skin. You can really use it any time, especially if you are using a pH balanced cleanser as well. It also helps shield the skin of free radical damage! Crazy right? Try it!

I also love their Multi-Active Toner. This is a light facial toner spray that truly hydrates. It has this perfect consistency and is easily absorbed by the skin. You’ll feel like it really does help lock the moisturizer. It’s even amazing for oily skin.

TATCHA – Peach Kissu Lip Mask, Water Cream and The Deep Cleanse Exfoliant

Is chapped lips your problem during winter? Then you’ll surely love Tatcha’s Peach Kissu Lip Mask, a leave-on jelly treatment of squalane and Japanese peach that restores lips.

First off, I love this brand. Their products just feel luxurious–and you know I love luxury lol–their packaging is so clean and overall everything works amazingly. You can apply a decent layer over your lips and wake up with baby soft lips. Also good to put on at the start of your makeup and by the time you are ready for a lipstick your lips are already soft.

Their Water Cream is also one of my favorites. This is an oil-free, anti-aging water cream that is thick enough to lock in and protect all serums, but light enough to not feel too heavy or overwhelming. It’s gentle and perfect for sensitive skin and is also good for combination skin which feels heavy with most face creams.

You’ll also love Tatcha’s The Deep Cleanse. It is a gel cleanser that uses a natural fruit exfoliant to whisk away dead skin cells but still leaves your skin hydrated. It leaves such a soft and clean feeling. And if your skin is oily, it does not leave an oily feel to it.

GRACE AND STELLA – All Day Rose Spray

Their All Day Rose Spray is a great facial spray to use in high humid weather. You’ll surely like the soft smell of the roses and it doesn’t stick around which is nice. It leaves skin hydrated but not sticky at all. It can be used daily and help in maintaining pH, primes, and hydrates!

SKIN & CO ROMA – Truffle Therapy Face Toner and Cleansing Oil

Skin & Co Truffle Therapy Face Toner is also a great toner. This face toner isn’t drying out skin and is totally compatible for combination skin type. It smells amazing, cleans skin greatly, makes it smooth, and firmer and it can actually diminish fine lines and shrink enlarged pores. The product is a little bit pricey but it is worth your penny!

For their Cleansing Oil, before using you have to shake it well, since it is an oil and needs to be mixed. I love it as it does a great job of removing makeup and dirt from the skin. It can take off every trace of makeup, even waterproof mascara with minimal rubbing. It will not sting your eyes or face, and don’t cause any breakouts or irritation.

LELAND FRANCIS – Luxe Facial Oil

This product helps improve the skin’s luminosity. I love that it is hydrating without feeling greasy or heavy. You can use this product on your face and neck everyday as a moisturizer. It helps clear your complexion and keep your skin healthy. The name suits it as it really feels luxurious on the skin.

TERRE MERE – 12 Anti-aging Elements

This 12 Anti-aging Elements formula combats all these major signs of aging and includes lactic acid that breaks up dark spots and moisture-rich hyaluronic acids from botanical sources to support a healthy collagen structure. It has a beautiful fragrance and texture to apply too. And this little amazing bottle goes a long way! if you have very sensitive skin and it won’t cause any reactions or irritation.

ZO SKIN – Brightenex

ZO Skin Brigthenex is soooo good. It’s one of my favorite products. It solved texture issues, pore size, and made skin so bright. Not only does this product have all the amazing benefits of a retinol, but it also contains brightening agents in the ingredients. Keep in mind however to always wear SPF every morning when you’re using this, as your skin can become susceptible to sun damage during this time. Well, you should wear spf anyway before going to protect your skin from the sun.

GROWN ALCHEMIST – Age Repair Moisturizer

You’ll love this moisturizer especially if you tend to have dry skin during winter. This does a wonderful job moisturizing the face and also leaves your face nicely toned. It’s so amazing. And it doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. I know this moisturizer is pretty expensive but worth it if you want to invest in your skin. And we all do invest for our skin, right?

DR. BRANDT – Pores No More Pore Effect Refining Cream and Magnetight Age-defier

Pores No More Pore Effect Refining Cream is a fantastic stuff! You can use it at night time as it is quite a concentrated cream and adds oil on your face after a while but it can work wonders on your skin. I really like it’s tea tree smell and the slight tingle it gives on the face. This can help skin like no other cream has. If your pores are large and clog very easily which results in acne, this cream helps keep pores minimized and clear.

Their Magnetight Age-defier is very fun to use and aside from it, it leaves skin smooth after use. The mask has a nice texture, smells amazing and it goes on so smoothly but that’s nothing compared to how smooth and just awesome your skin would feel after you take it off.

KARYING by Dr Karyn Grossman – Restructuring Night Cream

If you are a fan of not too fragrant products, you’ll love this night cream plus it’s good on sensitive skin. You can layer it over your retinol products and wear at night. Your skin will feel instantly hydrated and you’ll wake up with dewy, glowing skin. You’ll love this product for sure!

MURAD – Renewing Eye Cream

This eye cream is super gentle on your skin and doesn’t go on thick. It’s very hydrating and light weight and leaves your under eye feeling firm and helps get rid of puffiness. This really reduces fine lines around the eyes and smells good.

Lancôme – high resolution night cream, Visionnaire Eye Cream and Tonique Confort Hydrating Face Toner

Lancôme’s high resolution night cream melts into the skin without leaving any greasy feel, yet keeps skin soft. Some may shy away due to the cost, but a little lasts a very long time and I am worth that. lol

Visionnaire Eye Cream helps reduce dark circles under the eyes and the quality of the cream felt so good on the skin. It definitely improves the overall appearance of the under eye area and helps with puffiness and tightens it.

Tonique Confort Hydrating Face Toner is a silky-soft moisturizing toner immediately rehydrates and gently purifies skin. This comes in a pretty pink plastic bottle with a silver screw top. You’ll love this, especially when your skin is dry during the winter months. It’s gentle giving skin the moisture it needs!

Rodan + fields – Redefine line-am and on cream and eye cream

I also love the Rodan + fields Redefine line. Yes, it is on the pricey side, but you’re not going to find a better skincare line out there. You get what you pay for and in my opinion it’s worth it. AM and on cream leaves the skin smooth and hydrated, and as the line says it redefines the skin.

The redefine eye cream helps a lot if you naturally have bags and puffiness under your eyes. And this not only instantly provides improvement with puffiness, over time the results include a reduction in wrinkles and dark circles as well.

111SKIN – Rose Gold Brightening Facial Treatment Mask

I absolutely love these rose gold brightening facial masks by 111 skin! Unlike others, I found the fit to be good and it stayed in place pretty well for such a moisturizing mask. Your skin feels amazing after using it. It’s a bit pricey for a mask, but it’s worth the price.

Kiehl’s – Ultra Facial Overnight Hydrating Mask

Love this mask. It moisturizes the skin very well. This surely is good for the dry skins. It gives like a glass of water hydration and next morning the skin is plumped , soft and well hydrated. Probably one of the most amazing overnight masks out there.

Laneige – lip sleeping mask

If you are struggling with dry lips that have to apply chapstick several times a day, this product is for you. This mask can make lips more naturally hydrated as you use regularly. It is so hydrating and takes away all the cracks and dullness.

Peter Thomas – Potent-C Vitamin C Power Serum

This product really gives you immediate results. You see results after three or four uses. It brightens any dark spots, helps with fine lines, hydrates, and helps shrink pores. It is a little bit thicker than most serums though. If you apply the serum at night, in the morning your skin feels really good and soft.

Caring for your skin must be your top priority. Even if we love wearing makeup, nothing beats a healthy glowing skin that you wouldn’t need to put your makeup on if you are just going to go to the grocery store. I’m sure that several products on my list will help you care for your skin and always remember to drink more water. Your skin will thank you for it. (wink)
