Beauty Review: MitoQ Anti-Aging Moisturizer Serum

MITOQ

I was in definite need of some serious skin rejuvenation. The Mitoq Power Antioxidant Moisturizing Serum is a very high quality anti-aging moisturizer. Not only does it do the normal everyday moisturizing but it’s 10x more potent than regular. It protects against free radical damage that is caused by aging or too much exposure to the sun.

WP_003439

The serum is a light yellow in color and has a very rich and creamy texture. It doesn’t really have a scent or fragrance that I can detect, and it’s hypoallergenic. I don’t have sensitive skin, but for those who do, this would definitely be PERFECT for your skin.

WP_003048

It applies clear, of course, and it mixes well with SPF day cream under makeup for your morning routine. It also can be used along with a night cream after washing at night! It has shown me quite a large difference just within the 5-6 weeks I’ve been using it.

You aren’t going to see immediate results with an anti-aging cream, it’s what it does for you over a week or so that you can tell it’s working. My skin just looked so refreshed, calm, and hydrated. My skin just feels so healthy now.

It contains a patented molecule called mitoquinol, proven to be 1000x stronger than CoQ10, hence the name Mitoq. Fine line and wrinkles will eventually diminish overtime with everyday continual use.

WP_003672

Brown spots, age spots, and skin discoloration is faded with this. Since I’ve started using this, I can see a huge difference in the texture of my skin. It went from BLAH to radiant. I felt like I HAD to apply at least a little bit of foundation on a daily basis just to cover up my meek, complexion.

WP_003039

This lightens and brightens the complexion so that your skin looks healthy and glowing. I love that I have my radiance back. I don’t know why or how my complexion got so gloomy looking, but I’m glad that it isn’t like that anymore!

It goes on so perfectly. As soon as it touches my skin, it immediately feels more hydrated. It is light, so you don’t get that greasy, oily feeling that some creams can leave behind. The discoloration and few sun spots I have from tanning were gone within the first month!

Your skin looks younger with less lines, wrinkles and scars; AND MitoQ does this within 30 days. If your skin DOESN’T look healthier within those 30 days, you can return the bottle for a full refund! NOW that’s customer service! Standing fully behind their product? A+

MitoQ is $185 for 1.7 oz./50 ml. AND right now, it’s buy one—get one free!

Beauty Review-MyChelle Dermaceuticals: Vitamin A Plus Serum & Supreme Polypeptide Cream

 

Vitamin A Plus Serum

WP_002079

Skin-refining Vitamin A and nourishing antioxidants improve the texture and smoothness of rough, dull, and congested skin. Retinol and naturally-derived Vit-A-Like* work together to resurface skin, clearing pore blockage and minimizing the appearance of lines. Argan oil, naturally high in Vitamin E and Essential fatty acids, works to balance sebum production.

Give tired skin a healthy boost of restoring vitamins and antioxidants for renewed vibrancy, clear pores, and ultra-smooth textures.

Directions: For ultra-smooth, vibrant skin apply two pumps in the evening. Wait 30 minutes before following with the mist and nourishing cream. Serums may be layered for multiple benefits. This product will increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun; use only at night.

 

My Review

I love that this has a pump action top. It makes it so much easier to get the amount that you need without wasting. You get the right amount and no more.

WP_002081

It is a yellowish creamy like serum that smells absolutely delicious. It smells like flowers to me, but it may smell different to you. It’s the first serum that I’ve seen that actually smells good.

It soaks right in, although they tell right on the bottle to wait 30 minutes before putting anything on top of it so that it has the maximum time to sink into the skin before being smothered by something else.

Just the two weeks that I’ve been using this, I can already tell a big difference in my pores and the clarity of my skin. I had been using a nightcream that was very thick and was clogging up my pores. I could see the blackheads stuck like glue inside my nose pores.

I tried and tried to get the blackheads out. Using tons of different blackhead washes, creams, and ointments and nothing was working. I felt like I had GUNK and JUNK inside my pores. I leaned in real close to the mirrors and started pressing on the blackheads with my fingernails and they were so bad that they started seeping oil out.

It was very nasty, and I ended up cutting my nose with the side of my nail trying to get all the blackheads out. My skin felt like my hair feels when I don’t wash the conditioner all the way out. Greased up and too much product.

This is the only thing that really started helping with the thickness of the pores. I’m not mentioning what night cream this was that clogged them up in the first place, but I will never use it again.

I already have oily skin, but it promised to rejuvenate and replenish my skin cells. Hydrate, moisturize, and renew the skin so I bought it and used it. Worse mistake ever. It’s okay for people who have dry skin, but not me.. I ended up giving it to my mom.

I’m just thankful for the clear, blackhead free pores that I am now sporting. I absolutely HATE wearing foundation unless I have to, and I was seriously sporting foundation AND concealer on my nose to try and hide the hideousness before using the Vitamin A Plus Serum!

WP_001592

I love how healthy and glowing my skin looks now. Now I don’t have to wake up and cake on the concealer and foundation trying to hide blackheads that shouldn’t have been there in the first place!

I can now (on every other day) scrape the dead skin cells off my face. This serum is hands-DOWN the best serum I’ve ever used. Just within the short amount of time I’ve used this- my skin has turned a 180*. All those blocked pores, the oil, and the “dinginess” that came from the blocked pores are now gone!

I can’t believe how amazing this smells, feels, and works in just a short period of time. This is for a variety of skin (all/combination).. so whether you have oily, dry, combination, or even sensitive skin—this is perfect for you!

Buy It: MyChelle Vitamin A Plus Serum for $39.99

Supreme Polypeptide Cream

WP_002080

Unscented, nutrient-rich recontouring cream lifts and retexturizes skin for a more refined, youthful appearance. Matrixyl* synthe’6* reduces wrinkle volume by 21% and wrinkle depth by 19% in 8 weeks. Proteasyl* TP Pea Peptide is clinically proven to improve skin’s elasticity, increasing overall firmness by 35% in just 6 weeks. Rice Peptides improve the skin smoothness while Syn*-Coll Peptide triggers skin’s own reparative function to accelerate collagen production.

Directions: For youthful, smooth and radiant skin, apply a quarter-size amount to face and neck AM and PM after cleansing, treating, and applying serums.

My Review

WP_002082

This cream is a thick, white, creamy lotion like cream that goes on after you’ve cleaned your face and applied your toners, mists, and serums. It smells like a fragranced baby powder to me- which is a good thing.

It has immediate actions when going on. The skin just soaks it up and lavishes in it. Although I haven’t been using it for 6-8 weeks, I’ve already noticed that my skins texture has already improved. It increases not only the skin’s elasticity but it improves overall firmness.

I haven’t been using it long enough to say anything about the elasticity, but I can already tell how much my skin loves this cream. My skin looks so moisturized, healthy, and much more supple now.

It is thick but it doesn’t clog pores like other creams *ahem NIGHT creams*.. and it can be used day and/or night and can be applied before sunscreen and after moisturizer during the day.

I love the fact that it moisturizes but isn’t so thick that it causes zits or blemishes in my already oily zones. It has an amazing consistency, thick yet applies lightly and soaks in immediately.

It’s light enough to go under makeup without making it roll up, dissolve, or come off before the end of the day. It actually provide the perfect base for foundation- to where it looks almost airbrushed. Although it has a fragrance, it’s a light refreshing fragrance that doesn’t linger for a very long time.

This cream triggers your skin’s own reparative function so that it helps boost your collagen production. This is what helps your skin look and feel smoother and more firm over time.

As we get older our skin loses much of it’s elasticity and collagen. Although nothing is going to make you look 20 again when you’re 45- other than a face lift of course—there are products out there that can help you along the way!

Buy it: MyChelle Supreme Polypeptide Cream Unscented $53.39

Review: L’Bri Pure n Natural Skincare

imageWP_000915
I have been using a new skincare line for 3 months now. It included everything in the skincare line, so I stopped using everything else (except day and night creams) so that I could fully access how this line really worked.
image
L’Bri skincare contains absolutely no petrochemicals, parabens or sulfates and the number one ingredient in every product is Aloe Vera.
The healing and soothing qualities make Aloe Vera absolutely perfect for skincare. It can soothe red and irritated skin, while healing scars, acne, and other skin problems.

I’m pretty sure I fell deeply in love with this entire skincare with just the first use. As I progressed with the use, my love deepened. What amazed me the most was how my skin responded to the healing properties of the Aloe Vera. It left my skin glowing and absolutely flawless.
Deep Pore Cleanser
image
It’s nothing new to everybody that I have oily skin. I am always on the lookout for something that will help unclog my impossible pores. I hate the blackheads that form on my nose and my chin. I don’t get very many breakouts, but when I do they seem as huge as volcano’s.
It’s because my pores are SO deep. When I was in high school I had almost completely given up on finding something that wouldn’t only help my skin but would make it to where I didn’t have to worry about my pores looking huge and hideous.
Deep pores and blackheads go hand and hand, so I was thrilled to see “DEEP PORE” cleanser. I loved how gentle this was on my skin. I could feel how clean my skin was after using it, but my skin also felt nourished and taken care of. There’s nothing better than finding a cleanser that works EXTREMELY well while also helping to benefit the skin.
WP_000901This was gentle, yet thorough. Before L’bri, I would have to use a makeup cleanser and a skin cleanser. This actually takes ALL of my makeup off without a hitch. It was even tough enough to take off all my eye makeup (mascara included) and didn’t leave me looking like a raccoon.
A deep cleansing, water-soluble gel enriched with Aloe Vera Barbadensis, Vitamins A, C, E and Natural Botanical Extracts. Removes all traces of make-up, pore clogging oils and environmental pollutants from the skin. Helps control breakouts and blemishes.

Only $16.50 for a three month supply.

Exfoliating Face & Body Scrub
image
To me there is NOTHING better than an exfoliating face AND body scrub. I’ve rarely seen them together, but this works very well. My body skin can become dull and dry looking in the colder, winter months.
WP_000904I love using this because I can actually FEEL the exfoliation as it’s happening. It actually feels like there are tiny “sand granules” in the skincare, although that isn’t the case. They work to exfoliate the dry, tired looking skin cells without further drying the skin out.
This is amazing at removing the “dry flakes” without making my skin drier than It started out. This is a gentle exfoliation though, and is safe for daily use. It doesn’t scratch or tear your delicate skin cells.
My skin looks so much healthier, fresher, and smooth. No longer are those dull, dry, itchy patches visible on my body. It has also helped to remove the excess oil on my face, so there is nothing but smooth, acne free skin to be seen!
For all skin types. A remarkable refining formula that gently lifts tired, dull surface cells and imbedded impurities without scratching the skin. Contains Aloe Vera, Natural Clays, Honey, Ground Almonds, Vitamins A, C, E, Ocean Sea Plants and Essential Oils of Lemongrass, Geranium, Clay Sage, Chamomile and Violet Leaves. Only $17.50 for a four month supply!
Rejuvenating Facial Peel
image
This has made my skin do a complete 180, a complete transformation in sync with the other L’bri products. This is one of the absolute indispensible items  within the line. If I didn’t have the money to buy the others, I would still try and swing it to where I would never run out of this.
It is just so astonishing to see all those dead skin cells just slide off like it’s a mud pie. It’s amazing because it isn’t harsh on the skin. Doesn’t leave it red, irritated, or hurting. Just feels like you’ve used a regular cleanser that had something really really good in it-The superpower of cleaners. 
WP_000907This is more like a gel then anything, so it goes on very well. It has an instant cooling effect and only needs to be left on for a minute. I really liked that it was a time saver. Usually with face peels they have to be on for 3-5 minutes. I like using peels before I get in the shower—so I’d have to find something to occupy my time while waiting before.
Now it isn’t a problem. I can just rub it on and rub some small circular motions (all over the face) twice a week. I usually use this with my Toilettree professional skin care system—(it has rotating scrub brushes that clean the face). I just put the peel on and then continue to do the circular motion with the electronic face brush.
I’ve been using this for 3 months now and I haven’t even put a dent in the jar. You don’t need very much at all and it goes a long way. I am betting that a small jar could last me a 9 months to a year.
It's all about Enzymes! Right before your eyes, this unique exfoliator made with natural fruit enzymes of green papaya and calming pineapple along with stabilized aloe vera gel work to dissolve dead skin cells without acids as it dramatically improves skin tone, clarity and texture for a healthy, vibrant complexion. Results are immediately visible. Excellent for all skin types including those with rosacea and acne prone skin.
Only $38.95.

Facial Masque

WP_000905
Firmer, lighter, smoother skin? YES please. As this hardens my face begins to feel like I am made of wax.
It’s pretty funny to feel your face tighten up SO much within such a short amount of time. I probably looked like I had just gotten a shot of botox when it fully dried. LOL

I love the deep cleansing feeling that comes with this masque. As soon as I rinse this off, there is nothing but pure fresh clean feeling skin. It just felt so silky after the use. I leave this on anywhere between 10-15 minutes a couple times a week (mixing it up with the masque).
For all skin types. Experience an instant lift. An intensive deep cleansing treatment with soothing Aloe Vera, Natural Botanical Extracts, and Essential Oils, clears away dead flaky cells and dulling debris as it tightens and tones the skin. Skin's smoothness returns and crepiness and enlarged pores are diminished. Excellent for blemished skin and enlarged pores.
Only $28.50 for a five month supply.

Smooth & Firm Eye Repair Gel
image
I’m still young, so I don’t have crow’s feet or anything like that. As a beauty maven, I KNOW that if I use something BEFORE it happens that it may NOT happen, right?
WP_000918
I love putting this on. It’s a bright green, gel like cream that soothes on impact. It’s instantly firming and begins to tighten as it dries, which I like.
This little one ounce jar could also last me for a very long time. I only have to use a very small amount for both eyes. I notice that if I DO get more than needed, it still seeps in very well.
If I am feeling tired, dragged down, and exhausted at night when I put this on- it seems to invigorate the tiredness and relax at the same time.
Eyes are the first thing to show signs of aging and if I CAN allude that, I will. This is designed to replenish the elasticity that seeps out as you age, as well as decrease fine lines, wrinkles, and dark circles.
DARK CIRCLES is something that I DO have now. I have an irregular sleeping pattern. If I can, I’ll stay up as long as I can trying to cram work. Then I end up sleeping for a very long time. Because I do this, I end up with dark circles because my sleeping pattern isn’t healthy at all.
I actually had to use 2 types of concealers (underneath my foundation) just to diminish the darkness of the circles. I seriously do NOT want to walk around looking like death is going to be knocking at my door. BUT with my hours, work schedule, and kids- I simply HAVE to sleep when I can and cram as much work when possible.
What I loved about this was that within a week I could tell a difference in the dark circles under my eyes. They were very very light, considering they had been a week earlier I was TOTALLY taken back with working power.
My eyes just looked so fresh and rejuvenated which is what I had been looking for. Refreshed, beautiful skin that had absolutely no flaws.
For all skin types. Our clinically proven formula contains a superior anti-aging tetra peptide which works to dramatically reduce puffy eyes while enhancing skin elasticity and smoothness. In addition, we have added our own proprietary blend of active botanicals that work to reduce dark circles and wrinkles, improve microcirculation and strengthen the skin's collagen and elastin while reducing the presence of free radicals. Safe for even the most sensitive of eyes.
Only $30.50 for a four month supply.

Pure Aloe Vera Jelly
image
This is amazing to use everywhere on your body. I use this mixed with a body butter all over my body when I get out of the shower. It works amazing after a shave, especially if I’ve accidentally knicked myself. It helps to speed up the healing process of cuts, burns, and scrapes.
I have Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin) on my thighs. There are only a few things that have been able to relieve the tiny itchy red bumps.. the Vitamin A cream that I was prescribed ended up being almost $80 a tube, so I began looking for other options to help people with this condition get relief too.
WP_000910This is a VERY great thing to use in mix with a regular Vitamin A cream and a body oil. I use a body butter and this one day and then the next the oil and this. This makes it less itchy and seems to make the bumps less visible.
For all skin types. Pure unadulterated Aloe Jelly penetrates quickly to calm and soothe irritated or inflamed skin. Acts as a natural bandage to help the healing of blemished skin. Helps speed the healing of cuts, insect stings, and burns. No medicine cabinet should be without it!
Only $17.50

Klearaway
I love that this helps fight blemishes, yet doesn’t contain chemicals that will dry the skin out or irritate it. Usually with those very harsh acne treatments my skin becomes dull in patches and they seem to make the blemishes worse.
WP_000908Because this has Aloe Vera as one of the main ingredients, it soothes the skin while helping to clean the pores and reduce blackheads and breakouts. It’s a creamy white lotion like acne killer, and has absolutely NO fragrance.
It contains salicylic acid, so it helps to remove the bacteria that causes the acne to emerge. There are many products on the market that will DRY the problem area out, make it worse, or actually make you have issues where there wasn’t before.
This is soothing to the skin. So not only does it help prevent bacteria and acne, but it helps moisturize my skin too. I can wear makeup over top of this without it caking my makeup up.
The on-the-spot acne and blemish treatment that works every time, KlearAway, is now offered in a large one-ounce size. KlearAway is so good, it works under makeup. Formulated with Aloe, Willow Bark, and Papaya extracts, along with the pimple fighter Salicylic Acid, KlearAway will not dry out or irritate the skin. Heal fast with KlearAway. Now available in this convenient one-full-ounce size for ONLY $19.95.
Deep Pore Freshener
image
The best thing about this freshener is that it’s alcohol free. It’s balancing and is an amazing end to the cleaning process. I can use this twice daily (as recommended) without it drying my skin out.
WP_000913You swipe this on your face with a cotton ball. This helps to remove the cells on your face that have become dead and just stay there. It helps to stimulate circulation in the face as well as shrink the pores.
I love that it helps to diminish breakouts and blackheads by killing the bacteria that causes them. It is effective against psoriasis, exzema, acne and other skin conditions. The reason it’s so effective is because of the ingredient Horestail extract, which is a natural astringent, which also helps to soften and smooth the skin.
It also helps prep the skin to help seep and keep in the moisture from moisturizers and night creams. I really LOVED this. 
This alcohol free balancing freshener completes the cleansing process and helps protect the skin from bacteria by restoring its normal pH balance. The calming properties of Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Bee Pollen, Horsetail, Balm Mint and Hypericum, stimulates circulation, refines pores and manages breakouts without drying.
Only $16.50 for a three month supply.

Oil Free Moisturizer
image
I love this because it is the perfect moisturizer for oily skin. It hydrates without oil, so the skin stays nourished without all the greasiness. I can use the deep pore cleanser, eye serum, freshener, klearaway, and then this ALL under makeup without it ever showing. It’s really the perfect skincare for oily skin.
WP_000912It absorbs very quickly, which is another benefit. I don’t have to sit and wait for it to absorb before putting on my makeup. It has really help to improve my overall skin texture. My skin is smoother and my deep pores have seemed to unclog.
For oily and combination skin:  A light, oil-free lotion that nourishes and regulates excess oil while providing necessary hydration. Will not clog pores; allows skin to breathe.
Only $23.95 for a three month supply.

Nutra-Lift Skin & Hair Care Review


I had the chance to test three Nutra-lift products; the Night Repair Skin Renewal, the Nonsoap Herbal Cleanser, and the Simply Superb shampoo
These products show results without having to spend an arm and a leg on them, and they are mostly organic, rarely using chemicals inside.
I have been using these products daily for 4-5 weeks, and the results were showing within the first week.
Night Repair Cell Renewal

I really enjoyed using this night repair cream. One pump from this dispenser was all I needed to get my entire face and neck before going to bed. The product is a cream-colored tint, and isn’t sticky in the least little bit.
My skin soaks this up without any residue left behind. My skin does have a pink reaction after using this, but it being a cellular renewal serum, the pinkness should be expected because it’s cleaning and clearing the old cells off your face.
Nutra Lift Night Repair “creates newer fresher skin and in quicker time than chemical peels”. My face felt rejuvenated and clean, smelled wonderful, and my skin was brighter as well as smooth!
“Fresh...Fast. A neutral PH, non-irritating, better exfoliating treatment with amino acid L-Carnitine that energizes the skin.” It did show results very quickly which amazed me. This is an amazing night cream that never leaves any sticky residue on your pillows.
BUY IT: The Night Fluid is $35 for 1 oz. bottle
Herbal Nonsoap Cleanser
image
This Herbal Nonsoap cleanser is certified organic, and is very gentle on the skin. This is perfect for those who have sensitive skin and need something that will not dry their skin out.
This cleanser has a strong (herbally citrus) smell, which was okay. I didn’t expect it to really have a fragrance smell because it IS organic. It is a cleanser, a mask, toner, and makeup remover all in one.
It has herbal extracts and vitamins. AND it works well with all skin types; whether you have oily, dry, combination, or sensitive skin- this natural gel cleanser will work for you.
Because it’s a gel- it doesn’t bubble up like a soap cleanser, hense the name nonsoap. It contains wheat germ and vitamin C, which are both great for the skin. My face was noticeably softer, and it leaves no film- so your makeup goes on flawlessly.
My mascara and makeup was completely gone, yet my face was moist. This never once dried my skin out or left it too oily. It was the right amount of nourishment for my skin and I really liked it.
BUY IT: This Herbal Nonsoap cleanser is $24 for 8 oz. bottle
Simply Superb Shampoo
image
This is an amazing shampoo. Not only does it cleanse extrememly well, but it feels like there is conditioner built in with this. It smells amazing, and did wonders for my hair. It’s absolutely chemical and sulfate free- so I even used this on my kids.
Adisyn’s hair is thin, but somehow she ends up with tons of tangles in her hair. This leads to her crying and screaming that it hurts when her hair is brushed. I either had to end up using conditioner on her hair or using a detangler every time and she is only 3.
It is made with Goat milk and infused  with luxurious pure silk. This is what gives off the moisture to the hair follicles- so that hair is naturally silky to the feel, manages tangles, and takes away the frizzy part of hair.
This shampoo is also amazing for the scalp as well. With it being natural and organic with a blend of herbs- it moisturizes the scalp without leaving behind any unwanted residue- which is what causes the scalp to become unhealthy and start to flake.
When using this shampoo- I didn’t have to use conditioner or detangler on her hair, and I didn’t get any protests from her when brushing her hair. Her hair smelled great, was extremely shiny, and of course tons more manageable.
I am in LOVE with this shampoo- it is perfect for not only my hair but my kids hair as well. It rinses clean but makes hair SO soft. Smells amazing, and leaves hair shiny, manageable, and doesn’t weigh the hair down.
BUY IT: The Simply Superb Shampoo is $16 for 8 oz. bottle

Saffron Rouge- Dr. Alkaitis Face Products #Review

image

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser

This is a very gentle cleanser and is 100% pure and organic. It’s an amber colored cleanser that does foam up very nicely and has a nice consistency. It smells VERY clean and has a light scent that smells amazing.

It didn’t strip my face of it’s natural oils and a little tiny bit cleaned my entire face. I have had really large pores (always have) but this seemed to shrink them a bit, which I liked).

My skin was so soft afterwards and seemed extremely healthy. It doesn’t have chemicals in it, which is AWESOME. I only received a small bottle of this and STILL have some of it left. I can use a tiny amount and it works VERY well.

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Herbal Toner

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Herbal Toner

Organic Herbal Toner is a wonderful multi-purpose product that operates as toner, astringent, an anti-inflammatory , and a skin balancer. It also helps sooth and treat burns.  Does not dry out the skin like other toners and can be used as a moisturizer for oily complexions. Awesome for after sun care.

I have oily skin on my nose and jawline but dry skin on my forehead and cheeks and have tried many toners that didn’t work well. This toner clarifies while not making dry patches on my cheeks and forehead, and takes the oil away from my nose and jaw.

This toner smells like a mixture of lavender and wildflowers, although it isn’t strong and overpowering. My skin is very balanced and healthy looking because of this.

I am sold on this toner. It hydrates while refreshing my skin. Leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and it smells great as well.

 

image

Dr. Alkaitis Day Crème

This is certainly perfection in a tiny tube! This is a lightweight crème that absorbs immediately and glides on with no trace of greasiness or oiliness. This barely has a smell, but it DOES smell lightly herbal with a sweet side.

It has a soothing effect when applied, and has cured my face of the random stand alone zits I get a couple of times a month. I use mineral foundation powder over this, and my face always looks glowing and healthy. The makeup never cakes up, dries up, gets too oily, or rubs off.

It claimed to adapt to different skin types, so I let my mom use it as well. Where I have oily acne prone skin- she has dry skin that peels. This DID help her face stay moisturized, yet not oily. She liked it. SO—it DID adapt to both of our skin types, just as it claimed it would.

Although I was only sent a small tube, it has lasted me for quite a while. A pea size amount of this can be used for my entire face and neck. I love this because it is also completely natural. My skin is glowing and my pores haven’t clogged up once since I’ve been using this!

 

Dr. Alkaitis Organic Night Crème

Dr. Alkaitis Night Crème

This is richer than the day crème, but blends in very well to not leave an oily residue. My skin immediately begins to feel hydrated and smooth. It never caused any irritations or breakouts. My pillow case never had any greasy marks left from it.

It blends really well into my skin where I can’t even tell I have a thicker moisturizer on. I would love to use this in the colder months, it feels like my face is just drinking this in!! It’s basically a whipped like texture and is very calming.

If you have oily/ acne prone skin like I do, it’s hard to find a night crème that doesn’t add to the breakouts. Other night cremes were just too greasy for me and ended up making my pores clogged and causing acne..

Not this one. It is 100% natural and smells AMAZING!

All of these products are organic and natural. They smell amazing and work that way too. I’ve never found an ENTIRE line of cleansers, toners, and hydrators that ALL worked well. I could maybe find one from this one, one from that one.. but this whole line is amazing.

It may be pricey, but it’s absolutely worth it. WHY? Because it LASTS so long AND gives results within the first couple of days. Why would you want to spend very little and see no results? I wouldn’t. I would rather see the results then be using something for absolutely no reason at all.!

LoveTrueNatural Review & Giveaway

I received Plump up the Volume Anti-Aging Kit from LoveTrueNatural. The Anti-Aging kit comes with

1. Advanced Lift & Firm Serum (4ml tube)
2. Eye Bright Peptide Serum (4ml tube)
3. Plump Lip Treatment (15 ml tube)
You put all of these products on your freshly cleaned face. I washed my face and then put on the Advanced Lift & Firm Serum on my face and neck. I immediately felt it drying. After it started drying, I felt it gently tugging and tightening my face. After it was dry, my skin felt so smooth and silky. I loved it.
After the Advanced Lift & Firm Serum dried, I applied the Eye Bright Peptide Serum around my eyes. It took more than one application to see the results in this, but after about 2-3, I did. Making dark circles disappear is more difficult than tightening your face. Dark circles are caused from many different things.

Often it’s fatigue, or the natural process of aging- where you skin thins, you lose collagen and the blood lines show. My dark circles are from fatigue. I rarely get the needed amount of sleep, and NEEDED something (desperately) to help me with this. I didn’t just want to cover it up with makeup, I wanted it to go away.
I can see each day as I use this a big difference in the amount of darkness underneath. This product has amazed me in the amount of time that it helped the darkness go away. It wasn’t completely gone, but really—there isn’t a product that can truly make it go away, just reduce it.

Like I said- the reason I even have dark circles is because of my sleeping pattern. I couldn’t expect this to take it ALL away, since my sleeping is still at a minimum. I loved that it helped reduce it SO much and then using concealer and makeup- you CAN’T see it at all.

The Plump Lip Treatment is something that you can feel INSTANTLY. You can feel this helping your lips. I have tried others that taste VERY bad, this one tastes like a peppermint/cinnamon mix and actually DOES work. You put it on like a normal lipgloss during the day. (It feels like a chapstick but is more creamy) It doesn’t stay on for long periods of time as a creamy liquid, but you can still feel it long after the cream is gone. It seeps into your lips and gives your lips a natural glow (and tint).

I was very happy with all 3 of these products and how well they worked, and how fast the results came. If you AREN’T looking for something to keep your skin youthful and glowing- they also sell other products.
They sell Face Products like cleanser, exfoliators, and moisturizers. They sell organic makeup; such as foundation, makeup remover, mascara, and more. Natural Hair Care products such as shampoo and conditioner, etc. Even more on the website.. be sure to check it out.
