Slugging: Adding an occlusive product at end of evening skincare routine!

Let’s try SLUGGING 😉

Slugging is a viral #KBeauty trend which usually involves the use of a petrolatum-based product (like Vaseline) as the final step in the nighttime skincare routine. The concept here is to prevent transepidermal water loss while helping to trap moisture in your skin - it’s most ideal for dry skin types.

👉 Have you tried this trend?

I’m not inclined to slather Vaseline <🚨Note: Petrolatum is deemed safe for US registered/regulated forms by the FDA> on my face so when I received the PEPTARONIC CREAM from @snp_global {Gifted} a cream formulated to “lock in moisture” I thought it would be the perfect #slugging product! 🐌🐌🐌 Let’s see…

💗 PEPTARONIC CREAM: with its inclusion of humectants like Hyaluronic Acid & powerhouse peptides (this features a 6-Peptide Complex) it’s ideal for moisture retention! This moisturizing cream was designed to absorb quickly and create a moisture barrier to help repair & maintain skin’s barrier! It’s looks like a typical cream but glides on with a luxuriously silky-satin finish that I love!

👉 I simply slather this on at the last step in my evening routine ~ actually don’t massage in completely rather let it soak in at it’s leisure…

💗 RESULTS: I’ve definitely experienced plumper, nourished & deeply moisturized skin after tying the “Slugging” technique with this cream! Yayy!!

Glowing Skin with Entwine UK spa day treatments

Start-up skincare brand @entwineuk based in London offers a professional at-home Ampoule Treatment System designed to deliver instantly glowing skin ✨ {Gifted}

👉 I received the 3-Step Radiant Skin Treatment which includes the Remove/Revive/Restore Ampoules + a luxe face mitt.

CLAIMS: to exfoliate & restore skin’s natural radiance by detoxing, replenishing, firming/lifting & hydrating the skin on face, neck & décolletage!

HOW TO:

There are three ways to use this system ~

⭐️ Instant: A 20 Minute Ritual

⭐️ Deep: A 1 to 2 Hour Ritual 

⭐️ Extreme: An Overnight Ritual

I decided to try the “Deep” treatment leaving the  “Remove” Ampoule on for approximately 1 hour.

STEP ONE

“Remove”

Apply 1st Ampoule with fingertips, after cleansing face with warm water & included mitt (which is so super soft & luxurious)… gently massage in the contents which feels just a bit thicker than water, leave on for one hour…

It warns of possible tingling but I did not experience any sensation nor redness 👍

(I also applied this step to the back of my

hands 😉) This Ampoule features a bespoke

GLYCOLIC concoction.

STEP TWO

“Revive”

Rinse off the 1st Ampoule then proceed by Applying the 2nd Ampoule, letting soak into skin completely…Wait 3 to 5 minutes. This one targets hyperpigmentation & age spots with vitamin C + E 

STEP THREE

“Relift”

Finish by applying the 3rd Ampoule as the final stage of this treatment. It offers soothing, plumping & wrinkle reduction via naturally sourced Biopolymer Instensyl + long & short-chain Hyaluronic Acids!

MY RESULTS: This felt like a truly beneficial Selfcare ritual. I appreciate how soft & glowing my skin looked afterwards and noticeably improved firmness, especially on my neck 🤩 I really loved the 3rd Ampoule with its Light Diffusing & Glow Pigments which made my skin look radiant ✨✨✨

Have you ever tried an Ampoule Treatment like this??

Heimish Skincare to the rescue…

Hello Heimish 💖

Thanks so much @heimish_cosmetics for sending over these beauties!! {Gifted}

From the super cute & user-friendly packaging (I see you cleansing balm’s flip top design) to the Vegan formulas & affordability to super high-quality ingredients…Heimish has the finest #kbeauty products!

This ALL CLEAN SPECIAL SET includes:

💗 ALL CLEAN BALM ~ this 3-in-1 cleansing balm starts off solid, effortlessly melts to a thick silky oil so ideal for massage & deep cleaning then with warm water it emulsifies to a lovely milky texture and rinses totally clean, quickly, leaving no residue! I adore the light citrusy/floral aroma & spa-inspired experience. Hero ingredients include Citrus Herb Oils, Shea Butter & White Flower Complex.

💗 ALL CLEAN TONER ~ Low pH Balancing Vegan Toner offers light exfoliation to instantly soothe and helps skin maintain ideal pH balance for skin barrier protection. This is a very gentle toner with a typical thin, water-like consistency that absorbs quickly without any stickiness…perfectly preps skin for next steps!

👉 I’ve got a lot of sun damage so after using am & pm for two weeks, I’ve not noticed much improvement. I’ll definitely update with a Post/Stories when I see measurable results. This silky soft, fairly thick formula features 50% Kakadu Plum extrac + 5% Niacinamide. I really appreciate how moisturizing this is for my dry skin!

New Hydrating Products from The Inkey List!

New Hydrating Skincare from @theinkeylist {Gifted}

What better time to try another snowy shot than with these mega-hydrators from The Inkey List! This new duo certainly has made a splash 💦 but I wanted to be sure to add my two cents…

💧HYALURONIC ACID CLEANSER

Delicate, thin/slightly viscous, creamy-gel texture perfectly formulated with 1% HA Complex, 1% Inulin Compound and 2% Betaine to hydrate, protect & support skin barrier!

👉 I like this as a gentle morning cleanser or second cleanse at evening routine. It effortlessly removes makeup/sunscreen without stripping my skin, leaving it feeling incredibly soft & deeply hydrated.

(My Rating: 5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

$9.99/5.0oz.

💧OMEGA WATER CREAM

This cream pleasantly surprised me! It’s water-based gel formula is not the usual texture I would normally reach for ~ but WOWZA am I ever impressed with this one & reach for it continuously

👉 This features a elegantly simple formula of Omega Fatty Acid Complex, Glycerin, Betain & Niacinamide. I’m obsessed with the super soft finish that makes my dry skin glow!

(My Rating: 5/5) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

$9.99/1.7oz.

These fit in perfectly with The Inkey’s other Hydration Hero’s including the Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Caffeine Eye Cream & Polyglutamic Acid Treatment {which I also use in my routines} plus many others ideal for dehydrated skin!

👉 Be sure to use #askINKEY to chat with the Inkey Team 24/7 or the RECIPE BUILDER tab on their website to build your very own personalized #skincareroutine 

I also very much appreciate that this brand is so accessible, transparent with ingredient lists and even includes “How to Layer Products” right on the packaging/boxes!! 📦

Have you tried these new powerhouse hydrating products from THE INKEY yet??

New Beauty: Luxury Makeup!

My #makeupmonday stars some super luxe beauties today ~ all new additions to my makeup drawer.

@roseinc

BLUSH DIVINE RADIANT LIP & CHEEK COLOR

“Heliotrope”

This multipurpose cream blush is already a legend and definitely garnering lots of hype!! AND, it totally deserves all that hype because it’s soooooo worth it. 🥰 I’m really enjoying how hydrating & blendable the formula is and love that soft focus blur effect! 👉 It claims it’s ideal for dry skin and I absolutely agree…it truly delivers a healthy-looking glow!! I also love the luxe packaging & that it’s easily opened/closed. 

@patricktabeauty

MAJOR BROW SHAPING WAX

“Tinted”

I’ve never tried a wax eyebrow product before and I’m absolutely loving it! So incredibly easy to use - I thought it might be tricky but it’s totally user-friendly which is especially nice for a non-makeup user like myself. ☺️ I mean, I buy A LOT of makeup, but I rarely use it all. I do wish this came with a spoolie (you can purchase one separately). 👉 It’s activated with water or mist, then swipe your brow spoolie through it and brush through brows in an upward/outward motion. 

@beautypie

PUSH YOUR LUXE EYESHADOW PALETTE

Well, y’all probably already know how much I love all my Beauty Pie…and this pretty palette is no exception! It features 9 perfectly curated colors of both matte & shimmer. ✨ I don’t experience any fallout from the shimmers and they aren’t loaded with too much sparkle - very subtle. These long wear shadows feature “Galaxy Crosslinked Elastic Powder” for beautiful color play & superb adherence.

👉 I particularly enjoy how creamy and soft the shadows feel since I have super dry skin.

Spot any faves?? Are any of these on your wishlist? 😉

It’s finally February & I’ve got New BEAUTY PIE 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Here’s a look at my recently arrived @beautypie order I purchased last month. It includes their newest CICA Cream & Vitamin C Hand Cream plus repurchases of some of my must haves…

🧡 SUPERDOSE VITAMIN C Moisturizing Shea Butter Hand Cream is very hydrating to my poor dry hands during the day (at night I switch to the SUPER RETINOL Hand Treatment 😉) and it will help with my sun damage!

🧡 HAPPY FACE Extreme Relief Cica Moisture Cream just launched this month and is so ideal for my parched winter skin! I love that it has Centella Asiatica to soothe my skin.

🧡 JAPANFUSION Genius Lift Elixir - it’s my second bottle of this award-wining, magically firming oil based serum that truly helps keep my skin plumped & hydrated!

🧡 TRIPLE HYALURONIC ACID Eye Serum is a must-have in my routines & features pro-ceramides for mega hydration! I usually layer it under a richer or treatment eye cream at night.

🧡 SUPERCHEEK Cream Blush in shade “Fresh Faced” is very fresh & cheeky! A delightful peachy hue with a very blendable, matte texture and soft-focus, natural finish.

🧡 ARCH-OLOGY Tinted Eyebrow Sculpting Gel is a new eyebrow product I’m trying out. I do adore these simple, effortless eyebrow products for an easy, everyday taming of my brows! This one features a soft, flexible hold/finish that I’m really enjoying…
