Leave-on Sleeping Mask of your Dreams!

HELLO September!! 🍁 For this 1st day of September I’ve got a comprehensive PRODUCT REVIEW of the Sleeping Mask from Dr. Brandt Skincare [PR/Gifted]

Dr. Brandt wins again with this super refined, incredibly elegant overnight solution…the HYDRO BIOTIC Recovery Sleeping Mask!

💚 Exceptionally light gel cream

💚 Strengthens skin barrier

💚 Reduces redness & calms irritation

💚 Improves elasticity, reduces water loss

💚 Proprietary Biotic Balancing Complex features pre & postbiotics to help balance the skin’s naturally-occurring microbiota.

MY EXPERIENCE:

My dry skin adores this soothing, cooling gel cream because it so capably locks in moisture. When I awake, my skin is super hydrated & glowing. Created for all skin types, it is especially helpful to dry and/or dehydrated skin.

This incredibly unique formula glides on like a  dream with a subtle hint of lavender & Rose. While I massage in it starts to transform into a delightful oil-like texture that completely absorbs and leaves my skin feeling amazingly soft, smooth & hydrated…

This beautifully crafted leave-on mask works perfectly over my toners, serums & Retinols, as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine.

$52.00/1.7oz.

I just saw on the Dr.B website that there’s an early Labor Day sale going on! Use code: LAB21 for 35% OFF 

Do you like using leave-on masks in your nighttime routine?

The Double Cleanse: Zero Cleansing Balm

This Zero Discovery Kit was the perfect way for me to find the Zero Cleansing Balm ideal for me. For just USD $6.49 at ULTA - this mini kit includes all four balms to try:

🤍 Original: removes makeup, hydrates & cleanses skin

💚 Revitalizing: removes makeup, hydrates & cleanses + offers antioxidant protection

💛 Nourishing: removes makeup, hydrates & cleanses + moisturizing

💜 Purifying: removes makeup, hydrated & cleanses + soothes

The front-runner for me is the Purifying formula 💜💜

I think these balms are ideal for dryer skin types but also great for all skin when included as a double-cleanse routine. For my super dry + dehydrated skin I didn’t feel the need to double cleanse as this balm left no residue or film. I love how it starts off applied to dry skin then dissolves into an oil ideal for a face massage prior to rinsing.

Don’t you just love it when Brands offer these cost-effective mini kits?? DO you "Double-cleanse"??

Product Review: Naturium Retinols

Retinol ~ the gold standard?

Here is my full review of the Retinol Face Oil & Retinol Complex Cream from @naturium

💙 Good to know: Retinol is the over-the-counter version of tretinoin/retinoic acid. Both are within the Vitamin A category known as Retinoids. When Retinols, a weaker version of the retinoic acids, are used on the face they help stop the breakdown of collagen & stimulate elastin

production.

💙 The face oil is an advanced retinoid featuring a non-irritating formula to boost hydration & overall skin plumpness. It’s not greasy & absorbs fairly quick - a few minutes for me.

💙 The Complex Cream is formulated with a 2.5% retinol + bakuchiol complex to hydrate skin & reduce the signs of aging like fine lines, lose of elasticity, hyperpigmentation... all the things I need help with.

💙 Overall: These products are gentle, non-drying, and seem to be helping to smooth out my skin which looks & feels more refined with a plumper, hydrated end result.

<I’ve used every other night for almost 1 month>

Do you think Retinol is indeed the gold standard ingredient for anti-aging skincare products??

Product Review: Benefit Cosmetics Brow Gel

I recently received the Benefit Cosmetics 24-hour Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel complimentary from influenster YAY! 😃

I have very sparse eyebrows and as I get older they seem to be thinning out even more - how is that even possible 🤪. I love this brow gel because it really helps to shape my brows (they need all the help!! 😉) and locks on my other eyebrow makeup like Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil or Precisely My Brow Pencil 🥰

Features: an invisible gel finish that’s flexible & flake-free 🙌

Two sided: longer bristles ideal for evenly coating the brow hairs. The shorter bristles are used to shape & sculpt brows - think Wolf Brows 🐺 (aka the laminated look).

I always look & feel better when I define my eyebrows...how about you?? 😊
