My Review of Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum

Published on by

Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Eye SerumAre you looking like you just came from an all-night party?  Puffy eyes with some dark circles and fine lines showing the cracks in your make-up?  Well, brighten up!  Dr. Perricone has made a skin-usable Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum that delivers!  The formulation doesn’t dissipate once it’s applied to the skin. Just smooth this silky liquid over the eye area for firmer, brighter, younger-looking eyes.

Oh, and BONUS, this serum is also amazing on the fine lines around your mouth. I noticed INSTANT, yes I said instant, improvement when I just put a drop of this on those pesky fine lines starting to creep in on my upper lip.  Lines eradicated (happy dance).   Since I saw that, I decided to put it on my whole mouth.  My lips became plumper, more defined and softer.  I almost love it more as a lip treatment than for the eyes. But it’s great for both.

Yet another benefit, it pairs really well with the Perricone MD High Potency Eye Lift.  If you need an eye lift and were going to buy just that product by itself, it will run you $98.00. However, you can get both full- size products in the Perricone MD Eye Lift Synergy Kit for the same price! Score!

Rodial Dragon’s Blood Cleansing Water

Published on by

Rodial Dragon's Blood Cleansing WaterI have to admit, the name of this cleanser didn’t exactly call my name. But after I tried it I decided I wanted to know more. Dragon’s Blood is actually a red resin that comes from a flowering plant native to South America.  Not actual blood from a dragon. Good enough for me.

The first thing I noticed about this liquid cleansing water was the fresh, clean, light smell of roses. This is not the smell of your grandma’s rose scented lotion. Oh, no no. This is a breath of fresh air.

Next I realized you don’t have to rinse it off! You heard me right! No rinsing. What a time-saver! After a long day you can now come home, put a pump of this on a cotton round and take all your make-up off, without having to drown yourself at the sink rinsing your regular cleanser down the drain. It just dries by itself. Easy-peasy.

Lastly, I noticed the plumping effect it had on my skin.  Plumper skin looks firmer. It’s a nice little trick. You can super-charge that effect by using the Rodial Dragon’s Blood Hyaluronic Tonic with it. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and will revive your skin. It also sets mineral makeup. You can check out the entire line here.


Hampton Sun SPF 15 Hydrating Face Cream

Published on by

Hampton Sun SPF 15 Hydrating Face CreamWant an anti-aging moisturizer disguised as sun protection? You got it here with Hampton Sun SPF 15 Hydrating Face Cream. Anyone that has used sun protection knows that a good one can be hard to find. They can feel heavy, smell bad and/or go on too white. Not Hampton Sun.  This oil-free, fragrance-free formulation with Zinc is as light as they come. Typically products with Zinc can be very heavy so I was impressed to learn that not only is Zinc, my preferred form of sunscreen for its instant efficacy and healing qualities, the sun protection but it’s choked full of antioxidants. Antioxidants fight free radicals that cause damage and aging.

That alone would grab my attention but it also contains ginger, an antioxidant that Increases radiance, decreases inflammation, cucumber strengthens connective tissue, relieves redness,  aloe and chamomile to soothe, seaweed firms skin, gingko biloba  helps with  sun damage repair.   Not only do I love it for its ingredients, I also love it for what’s not in it like parabens and PABA.

This power-house product is going to be great for all skin types but especially those with normal/combination  to oily.


My Must Have: Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream

Published on by

Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear CreamThe Jan Marini Bioglycolic Bioclear Cream is one of my Must Have products!

I’ve used this product off and on for over 10 years and absolutely love how it transforms my skin.

Jan Marini made this amazing cream to address many different skin care concerns like adult acne, scarring, discoloration, enlarged pores, texture and wrinkling due to cumulative sun exposure. Bioclear’s combination of three ingredients glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and azelaic acid effectively break apart clogging follicular debris in your pores.  Bioclear delivers outstanding results for sun damaged and aging skin by reducing pore size and evening skin tone and texture. This product can be a bit aggressive and should be used with caution if you are not an avid user of glycolic acid products. It may cause redness and some peeling both of which are temporary. Using sunscreen is a MUST with this product.

Introducing Pomega5

Published on by

Pomega5Natural and hypoallergenic, the Pomega5 line is nature’s recipe for your skin. Pomega5 is a skin care line based around the pomegranate fruit and the essential fatty acid it produces through its seeds, Omega 5. This essential fatty acid is one of the most potent antioxidants known to modern science, almost six times more potent than Grape Seed Extract. Omega 5 is a high energy molecule that helps to calm inflammation, reduces aging free radicals, is easily absorbed into the skin and it is a plant-based estrogen (phytoestrogen). Phytoestrogen ingredients help to support hormonal imbalance in the skin which can lead to breakouts or dryness.

The healing oil from the pomegranates seeds can be found in every product within the Pomega5 line. Each product tries to incorporate at least one ingredient from the sea, soil, plants and flowers. Pomega5 is part of a lifelong mission from the creator to provide you with a brand that is safe, honest and authentic.

Top Three products from Pomega5:

- Pomega5 Healing Cream

- Pomega5 Grenade Anti Rides Nourishing Cream

- Pomega5 Daily Revitalizing Concentrate

New for 2013: CC Creams

Published on by

Juice Beauty Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream - Warm GlowLast year all the buzz was about BB creams (aka Beauty or Blemish Balms). But, for 2013 it’s all about the revved up CC Cream!  A CC Cream, which is short for Color Correcting Cream, offers a brightening effect to help rid the skin of brown spots, dullness, and uneven pigmentation. It’s a multitasking wonder product that acts as a primer, tinted moisturizer, sunscreen and skin treatment in one. Color Correcting Creams are targeted for pigmentation issues like sun damage and uneven skin tone. A CC cream will also provide more coverage in comparison to its counterpart the BB Cream, but still has a very lightweight, luminous finish.

If you’re like me you may be asking, how can I get my hands on one?! Juice Beauty is the first to launch a CC Cream on SkinStore.com. The Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream aims to repair DNA damage and boost cellular regeneration with antioxidant vitamin C and resveratrol. Juice Beauty’s ultimate CC cream benefits the skin in 12 ways: repairs DNA damage, evens out skin tone and texture, firms and improves elasticity, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, creates a glowing complexion, balances skin tone, is rich in antioxidants, protects with chemical free SPF 30, has Mineral tinted coverage, acts as a moisturizer, gives skin perfecting color and is great for all skin types. The retail price is $39 USD and it’s available in two shades, Natural Glow and Warm Glow.
