Philosophy, Hope in a Jar Day & Night, Review

13 Jun

HopeInAJar1

Philosophy says (night): Wake to more radiant, refreshed skin with this night version of Philosophy’s much-loved Hope In A Jar moisturizer. The gentle formula boosts nighttime renewal to retexturize skin, as it plumps the appearance of fine lines and evens skintone. Patented qusomes help deliver potent glycolic acid to the skin, while gradual-release technology minimizes the potential for irritation. With regular use, skin becomes noticeably smoother, lines are visibly softened, and your rosy glow is restored.
Philosophy says (day/original): A 99.9% oil-free, deeply hydrating, lightweight wonder designed to smooth the complexion while reducing the appearance of wrinkles and discoloration. Originally created for the medical market, this expert essential delivers soft, healthy, glowing results.

So many people love Hope in Jar, so I was excited to finally try it!

Night:  This is the newest addition to the Hope in a Jar family.  The texture is a thick cream but it glides smoothly over my skin.  I feels quite heavy and feels greasy for about 5-10 minutes before penetrating my skin.  I had heard others rave about this product, claiming they saw a difference after one single use.  I gave the product the benefit of the doubt, however I didn’t see a difference after one single use.  I felt a slight tingle when I first starting using it, but that quit after about 4 uses.  I like the idea of using a little glycolic acid every day to keep my skin retexturized, however, I really haven’t seen a difference in my skin at all since I started using this.

Day/Original:  The texture is very light, it almost feels like it’s “whipped.”  I love the way this feels on my skin, it glides easily and penetrates within minutes.  It provides oily skin with just enough moisture without making it shiny (mind you, I use a BB cream over this because it does not contain SPF).  Dryer skin types will probably prefer something a bit creamier (they do make a Hope in a Jar for dry skin), but I think oily/combo skin types will really like this.  You can use this AM and PM, but it doesn’t contain any exfoliating properties (which is why it’s ideal to use with HIAJ night).  Like HIAJ night, I didn’t see any “results” with this, but I do enjoy the texture and the hydration that this provides.  The one complaint I have is the scent.  It’s lightly scented (it doesn’t contain any synthetic fragrance though), to me it smells a little like bleach.

I did experience a little irritation after day 4 of using both of these products.  I felt a slight burning sensation and some redness occurred.  That reaction did not continue to occur after day 4.  *pics later in the post*

Overall
The night has a thick, emollient-like texture that takes 5-10 minutes to penetrate the skin.  I like the idea of gently exfoliating every night, however I didn’t see any results after 3 weeks of continuous use.  The day/original has a light whipped texture that oily/combo skin types will enjoy.  I personally don’t like the scent, even though it is light.

Shiseido Urban Environment Tinted UV Protector Broad Spectrum SPF 43, Review

7 Jun

Press SampleAffiliated BrandAffiliate Links

ShiseidoTintedMoisturizer

Shiseido says: A sheer, hydrating, oil-free, and tinted face cream that provides advanced protection and a flawless complexion. This innovation will change the way your skin is protected. Discover the lightweight, moisturizing, and oil-free tinted cream that brilliantly defends your skin against UV rays and environmental aggressors while blending flawlessly. It contains SuperVeil-UV 360™ offering comprehensive protection of the skin’s surface, and Profense CEL™ which protects cells and DNA, and helps inhibit enzyme activity—the causes of wrinkles and uneven skintone. It gives the skin a hint of color for a glowing, healthy-looking complexion.

Psssst… hey, remember tinted moisturizers?  They have kind of gotten the shaft since BB creams have hit the US.  While I like some of the BB’s that I’ve tried, I have to say, I feel like the westernized version is nothing more than a glorified tinted moisturizer {more on that subject}.  In fact, given the long title that Shiseido gave this particular product, I’m wondering if they purposely went out of their way to NOT call this a BB cream.  Maybe? *sidenote, Shiseido does have a BB cream, I haven’t tried it*  I don’t care what the product is called, tinted moisturizer, BB cream, poo poo cream… what I care about is, does the product actually do what it claims to do?

First things first, how do you pronounce Shiseido?  “Sh-uh-say-doh.”  I didn’t know for the longest time, so I thought I’d share that little bit of info.

I use my fingers to apply a generous (nickel sized) layer all over my face.  The texture is light and it feels very smooth on the skin.  It spreads easily, I didn’t have any issues with application.  It gives enough coverage to give my skin a light tint, but redness, dark circles, and blemishes are still visible.  This comes in 3 shades, I have the middle one (02) and the color works perfectly for my NC30 skin.  Since it has sheer coverage, I imagine this color would work for someone who is 1-2 shades lighter or darker than me, since sheer formulas tend to be very forgiving.   Shiseido also says you can use this as a “makeup base for a beautiful foundation finish.”  I wore it underneath several foundations (liquid and powder) and it made me shiny as h***.  Mind you, I have oily skin, but this did nothing to inhibit the shiny-ness that resides on my t-zone.

So, what makes this different from other TM’s out of the market?  This one contains fancy ingredients like SuperVeil-UV360, Thiotaruine, Rose Apple Leaf Extract, Hydro-Wrap Vitalizing DE, Xylitol and Glycerin.  What makes this different than a BB cream?  Other than the name of it… I have no idea.

Overall
It gives sheer coverage (just as it claims), enough to see a light tint on my skin but redness, blemishes and dark circles are still evident.  The texture is light and smooth, I apply with my fingers (just as I would any moisturizer).  When used as a makeup base (I tried both liquid and powder formulas) it didn’t do anything to help control my already oily skin.  My t-zone was shiny within 2-3 hours.

All Eyes on Origins

30 May

Press SampleAffiliated BrandAffiliate LinksOriginsEyeCream

Origins says (Ginzing): Nature’s clinically-proven morning-after eye cream instantly reduces dark circles. Unsightly bags and puffiness virtually disappear. And Origins proprietary complex of Caffeine from Coffee bean, Panax Ginseng, Magnolia Extract and natural optic brighteners rapidly wakes up, refreshes and restores radiance to tired eyes.
Origins says (Plantscription): This moisture-rich cutting edge eye cream with Anogeissus visibly helps repair crow’s feet, under eye cross hatching, crepey lids and sagginess without irritation. You get a naturally youthful look that’s not all nipped and tucked. So give your eyes this amazing new lift from nature and see a younger-looking you.

I’ll admit, when I’m in a hurry or being lazy, I skip out on eye cream.  However, as I’m getting older (wahhh) I’m willing to do anything to turn back the signs of aging.  Concealer has become my newest BFF when hiding the dark circles under my eyes, but I also want to help actually treat the problem.  That’s where eye cream comes in handy!

The GinZing feels light and soft to the touch.  I dot a small amount throughout my lower orbital socket and lightly tap to get the product to soak in.  It also has a little bit of caffeine in it, to help with puffiness (score).  My favorite thing about it?  It has a little bit of luminosity to it, so it help reflect light and hide that pesky dark circle.  It’s the perfect skin prep for concealer!

Plantscription is a thicker, creamy formula.  Origins says that it’s for dry/combo skin types, but it works fine for my oily skin (I don’t tend to get oily around my eyes…).  I like the way it feels on my skin, it doesn’t feel heavy at all.  Origin’s claims that this “lifts and firms,” however I can’t attest to either of those claims.  My biggest problem with my under eye area is the dark circles, so I’m not a good candidate to judge it’s lifting and firming properties.

Overall
GinZing is a light, luminous formula and worth checking out if you’re concerned with dark circles and de-puffing.  Plantscription is worth trying if you’re more concerned with lifting and firming the eye area.  Both are formulated for sensitive skin using potent plants, organic ingredients, and natural essential oils.

So Fresh ‘N So Clean

FreshSkinCare1

Fresh says: Soy Face Cleanser for all skin types is an extra-gentle, multitasking gel formula that instantly whisks away everyday impurities and makeup—even mascara—without stripping the skin of essential moisture. The soap-free, fragrance free formula is also perfect for sensitive skin, too.
Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream is a universal daily age-defy moisturizer proven to provide 24 hours of significant moisture. It is formulated with a proprietary Super 7 Complex specifically designed to minimize and prevent signs of aging, deliver intense hydration, and boost radiance. It is further enriched with maca root extract, noted for enhancing luminosity and cell turnover.

Soy Face Cleanser:  The cleanser does exactly what it says; it removes makeup and cleanses without leaving the skin feeling dehydrated.  It does a pretty decent job of removing eye makeup,  but my 3 coats of mascara gals and my false lash wearing sisters will probably need a separate eye makeup remover.  The product also has “amino acids, soy proteins promote moisture retention, elasticity, and firmness.”  It does help with moisture retention, my skin feels so soft after using.  However, I can’t really speak for its claim for elasticity and firmness.  I do know that I’ve been using this every day for 2 weeks (AM and PM) and my skin looks and feels great (no break outs, dry patches, etc).  This would be good for any skin type, any age.

Lotus Face Cream:  I was really surprised on how light this felt on this skin.  For some reason I had it in my head that my oily skin wouldn’t like this product, and I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised.  I’ve been using it every day for 2 weeks (AM and PM) and it’s kept my skin hydrated and balanced.  Fresh claims that the lotus has “high levels of polyphenols, the most powerful antioxidants known to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals.”  Good to know, since the battle with wrinkles seems to be never-ending.  This doesn’t have SPF, so when using in the PM I always put some sort of SPF over it (usually a BB cream).  This would be good for any skin type, any age.

Overall
The Soy Face Cleanser is gentle and does a great job of removing makeup and impurities without stripping the skins moisture.  It does remove mascara to a point.  The Lotus Face Cream feels silky smooth on the skin without feeling heavy.  Bonus for all of its awesome ingredients (lotus flower and their Super 7 Complex).  These products are pretty universal, any skin type could use them.

Peter Thomas Roth CC Cream, Review

3 May

Press SampleAffiliated BrandAffiliate Links

PTRCC
Sephora says: An all-in-one antiaging treatment, sunscreen, complexion corrector, moisturizer, and tint.  This multifunctional complexion corrector is formulated with arbutin and camu camu, an Amazonian superfruit that has 30 times the vitamin C of an average orange. Vitamin C evens out the skintone and supports natural collagen, creating the appearance of firmer, brighter, younger-looking skin over time. It instantly minimizes the look of imperfections, while broad spectrum SPF 30 protects skin from the sun’s harmful rays. Antioxidant vitamins C and E help fight free radical attack and keep skin healthy, radiant, and beautiful.

BB creams, CC creams, DD creams, PooPoo creams… seriously I can’t even keep up.  BB (beauty balm) creams made a huge splash in the US this past year.  The average American woman uses 2 products a day, and since BBs claim to be your skincare, primer, and makeup all in one they were (are still are) a huge hit.  So what’s the difference between BBs and CCs?  CCs still prime, hydrate, and protect the skin.  The difference is in the name, CCs are “color correcting,” so they have a few different ingredients that target lessening the appearance of dark spots, sun spots, and post-acne marks.  Is one better than the other?  No, they are just different.

I apply this on a freshly cleansed face with my fingers.  The first thing I noticed was the color, I have the color light to medium (it comes in 3 shades, this one is the lightest) and it’s too orange and dark for my NC30 skin.  I was really surprised by this, while I’m not a dark skinned girl I wouldn’t be considered to be fair skinned.

The coverage is much like a tinted moisturizer (it reminds me of Laura Mercier’s).  It’s a dewy finish, so if you have oily skin set this with some powder (I use the Bare Minerals Ready Foundation over it).  When I used the product without powder on top, my face was shiny within 15 minutes.  It gives enough coverage to give my skin some color, but a concealer is still needed if you have any major imperfections (dark circles, blemishes, etc).  If you prefer a lighter coverage foundation, you may want to consider checking this out.

Since it made my face orange, I wanted to mix this in with a moisturizer to thin it out.  I mix with the PTR Camu Camu Power C X 30 Vitamin C Brightening Moisturizer (half and half) and the two work nicely together.  It does take away some of the coverage, but I use concealer and finish with a medium coverage powder.

The product does what if promises, which is minimize imperfections.  I’ve been using for 2 weeks so I can’t really speak for it’s long term claims (firmer, brighter, younger-looking skin).  Another thing that I love about this product is that it contains mineral/physical (as opposed to chemical) SPF.  Neither type of SPF is better than the other, they just work differently.  Sensitive skin types are less likely to be irritated by mineral SPF.

Overall
The product has a lot of stand-out ingredients that are beneficial to any skin type.  On its own, it gives light coverage but still enough to help even out the complexion.  Any skin type could use this (you can use it as a primer as well), if you have oily/combo skin finish with a powder to set and reduce shine.  My biggest complaint is the color, the lightest shade is too dark and orange for my NC30 skin.

Ooo La La, Ole Henriksen!

23 Apr

Press SampleI Bought ItAffiliated BrandAffiliate Links

OleReview

I’ve tried numerous skincare lines, I’ll test them for about a month or so, but I always go back to my usual regime.  This is the only line that has been able to break my old habits.  It’s that good.

First things first:  how do you pronounce “Ole Henriksen?”  I don’t know about you, but I didn’t know for the longest time.  The correct pronunciation is “Ooo-lah Hen-rick-sin.”  Good, now that we’ve got that covered, lets dig in!

Truth To Go Vitamin C Wipes:  These wipes are so refreshing yet manage to clean off a full face of foundation.  They do take off my eye makeup to a point, but I still need to use a separate MU remover (mind you, I wear heavy eye MU).  I noticed brighter and smoother skin after one single use!  I tried using them AM and PM and it was a tad irritating to my skin, so I only use them at night.

Truth Serum Collagen Booster:  Vitamin C does wonders for the skin.  It helps boost the collagen production and also provides antioxidants (a few of its many benefits).  The oil-free formula has a very thin consistency (it’s liquid-y!) but quickly penetrates the skin’s surface, so you aren’t left with a sticky feeling.  It provides hydration (oily skinned gals, you still need hydration!) and nourishment.  The best part?  More radiant and glowy skin!  I use AM and PM.

Invigorating Night Gel:  This unique blend of AHA’s gently exfoliates the skin without drying it out.  The algae extract nourishes the skin and the mucopolysaccharides bind moisture to the skin.  The consistency is thicker than the serum but thinner than a creme.  This is gentle enough to use every day (PM only).

Sheer Transformation:  I originally thought this would be too thick for AM use, but the consistency is light and creamy.  I cannot speak for its claims on fading skin discolorations, but I can say that it’s nourishing without making my oily skin more oily.  It’s a nice dose of vitamin C and leaves my skin looking bright and fresh.  If you do have any hyperpigmentation, this is a natural way to help lighten those spots. I use this AM and PM (making sure to wear something with SPF over it).

Power Peel:  I’m always a bit skeptical when a cosmetic product claims to be a “peel.”  To be clear, legally, you cannot buy actual chemical peels over the counter (the percentages depend on you state).  Therefore, this isn’t the same peel you would get from an esthetician/dermatologist.   That being said, this little product packs a lot of punch.  The Almond Polish provides a nice mechanical exfoliation (make sure to wet your fingers before applying) without being too harsh.  The Lemon Strip contains AHA’s and fruit acid, which chemically exfoliate the skin (dual exfoliation, score!).  This is the step where I felt the most activity.  The last step is the Chamomile Comfort mask, which you place over the Lemon Strip.  This contains chamomile, primrose, and jojoba seed oil that soothe and calm the skin.  Only use 1-2x a week.

Overall
I’m giving this a high rating because any skin type can use this.  Dryer skin may want to add in a heavier night creme, but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing about this set.  If you were only to get one product, I would suggest starting with the Truth Serum.  However, you really need to use the entire line to get the best results because the products are formulated to work together.  Ole is really good about having kits that contain several products at a discounted price, so that is an easy way to introduce yourself to the line.

Stila Illuminating Beauty Balm, Review

17 Apr

Press SampleAffiliated BrandAffiliate Links

StilaBB3
Sephora says: An all-in-one, high-definition, age-defying beauty balm enriched with broad-spectrum SPF 30. Add a touch of illumination with this revolutionary, oil-free formula that uses the smallest particle of coated pigments for seamless, smooth coverage. Ideal for all skin types and skintones, this beauty balm gives skin a lit-from-within glow. The formula is infused with innovative micro-spheres, which have been shown to hide skin imperfections and reduce the appearance of wrinkle depth by up to 84 percent. It also contains natural, skin-protecting emollients, which have been shown to increase antioxidant activity by up to 89.7 percent. Enriched with a proprietary blend, this balm helps reduce skin inflammation, improve texture, support collagen production, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles by up to 67 percent.

Upon seeing the word “Illuminating,” I thought my oily skin would hate this product.  Generally anything that adds luminosity to the skin is a nightmare for us naturally shiny skinned gals.

I tried this product on its own, with no moisturizer and no foundation over it.  It did manage to slightly camouflage some redness and unevenness in my skin (more coverage than the Urban Decay BB), but still not by itself (for me).  Now, if you have near perf skin and just want a little somethin’ somethin’, then I think you’ll love this.  For me, however, I need a little more.

I also noticed it made my face shiny within 30 minutes.  Now, if I had a dry skin and needed a bit of a shine boost, then that would’ve been great news.  I, however, don’t need help in that department.  My face will shine bright like a diamond on its own.  I tried using this under my foundation, and what do you know?  It worked fabulously as a primer.  I was really surprised that I wasn’t shiny-faced by mid-day.  It lasted a full 9 hours underneath my makeup, just as I would expect a primer to do.

Overall
If you have dry skin and you’re looking for a low maintenance light coverage product, this is exactly what you’re looking for.  If you have oily/combination skin, this will work great as a primer underneath a foundation (liquid or powder).

Three Favorite Skincare Serums

11 Apr

Press SampleI Bought ItAffiliated BrandAffiliate Links
FaceSerums1

What is a serum?  “A serum is a skin care product that has a higher concentration of active ingredients, usually comes in a gel or creamy gel form.” {source}  The molecules are smaller so they can penetrate deeper into the skin.  They are meant to be used under your moisturizer.

What does it do?  There are hundreds of serums out on the market that are targeted towards different skincare concerns.  Some are anti-aging, some promote hydration, and some deliver vitamins and anti-oxidants to the skin.

When it comes to skincare concerns, we’ll just say I’m concerned about everything on my face.  Aging?  Check.  Dehydration?  Check.  Vitamins and antioxidants?  Check.  Again again?  Check check.  These are my favorite serums that target different skin concerns.

Image Skincare Ageless Total Anti-Aging Serum

FaceSerum2 Image says: This anti-aging serum is a unique cosmeceutical blend of alpha hydroxy acids in combination with apple stem cell technology. Protects skin cells against oxidative stress and combats the aging effects on the skin. An anti-oxidant blend hydrates for luminous, glowing skin. $38/1.7oz, Image, Amazon.
This was the first serum that actually made a noticeable difference in my skin.  It uses AHAs to gently exfoilate and resurface.  It also uses the apple stem cell technology to protect the skins own cells.  And let me tell you, this thing is ACTIVE.  I know some people can’t use it every day, but my skin can handle it.  You can use this AM and PM.  This is great for anyone with aging concerns.

Bobbi Brown Intensive Skin Supplement

FaceSerum3
Bobbi says: An advanced, multi-benefit serum that improves skin’s appearance as it helps prevent the visible signs of aging. White Birch Extract reduces the look of fine, dry lines, while Grape Extract helps clarify and brighten the complexion. After just four weeks’ use, skin looks firmer, smoother, more even-toned and radiant.  $70/1.0oz. Bobbi Brown, Amazon.

This makes my skin so silky smooth!  It has anti-aging ingredients as well as ingredients that help protect the skin.  This is a very gentle, moisturizing serum that any skin type could use (AM and PM).  This is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin.

Mad Love for LaVanilla

27 Feb

Deodorant and I have a rocky relationship.  It’s happened to me time and time again: I buy a new deodorant from the drugstore, I wear it for a few weeks, and one day it quits working.  I’ll be at the gym and get a good whiff of myself and think, “UGH!”  I’m disgusting.

I have about dozen of half used Secret, Degree, Mitchum, Lady Speed Sticks, you name it.  I finally decided to splurge and go au naturale because, well, I was tired of stinking.

One important thing to remember about natural deodorants is that they are NOT antiperspirants, which work by blocking the pores to prevent sweat.  Deodorants neutralize the odor.

LaVanilla says: AA clinical-strength deodorant that is 100 percent natural, safe, and effective.  LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant uses beta-glucan technology to effectively fight odor while soothing, conditioning, and strengthening the skin. It goes on clean, with no sticky wetness, and delivers long-lasting, luxurious results.

First impression:  It feels wet when you first put it on, and it stays that way for about 3-4 minutes.  The 3-4 minutes of discomfort is well worth it to me, this stuff works!  I put it on in the morning and I am left smelling and feeling fresh all day.  If a trip to the gym is involved, I do have to reapply.

I loved the vanilla passion fruit scent so much that I purchased the fragrance, which is also all natural.

LaVanilla says: Experience this irresistible, longwearing blend of passion fruit, guava, and peach nectar steeped in a warm base of sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla. Created by master natural perfumers, this love-attracting scent is uniquely infused with a romantic blend of powerful aphrodisiacs (blue lotus, clary sage, and juniper berry) prized for their seductive properties. This unique fragrance is only available for a limited time.  Unlike traditional fragrances on the market, The Healthy Fragrance contains 100 percent natural ingredients. LAVANILA uses timeless blends of pure essential oils, active botanicals, and vita-rich technology for long-lasting, antioxidant-rich fragrances bursting with beauty benefits.

The fruity-ness is the strongest note and there’s just a hint of vanilla.  It’s very concentrated and packed with essential oils, 2-3 sprays is more than enough.  My only complaint:  It only lasts for 4-5 hours.

Overall
I highly recommend the deodorant, besides feeling wet at first it successfully prevents the body’s natural body odor from stinking up the room.  The fragrance is packed with antioxidants and essential oils, however it lacks in lasting power.  These come in 5 other vanilla scents if passion fruit isn’t your thing.

Hyaluronic Acid, what’s the deal?

19 Feb

Upon hearing the word “acid,” it initially scares people .  “You want me to put what on my face??!!”

However, more and more people are becoming aware of this particular term.  It is one of the most important ingredients in anti-aging skin care.  So, what is it?

In layman’s terms:  It binds water to the skin.  It is a humectant, which means it draws moisture from the air and also tells the moisture that’s already in the skin to stay put.

Hyaluronic acid holds 1,000 times its weight in water.

So where does it come from?  Our bodies naturally produce it.  It’s located in the reticular dermis in between the collagen and elastin fibers.  It basically acts as a cushion for those fibers, keeping the skin supple.  As we mature… can you guess what happens?  . . .We produce less of it!  Isn’t getting old fun?

What kind of skin types should use this?  ANY!  This isn’t just for the dry skin types.  My skin is classified as oily and I use it AM and PM.  This isn’t anything that’s going to be irritating (don’t confuse it with glycolic or salicylic acid, which can be irritating) or harsh on the skin.

How do I use it?  You can buy pure hyaluronic acid (which is what is pictured) and you would use it after your cleanse and before your serum and moisturizer.  The molecules are small the skin just soaks it right up.  You can also add a few drops to your regular moisturizer for a little boost.  This ingredient is also already present it a lot of regular moisturizers.  However, the amount isn’t near the same amount that you would get by using it in its pure form.
