Clinique Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum Review

I've been using Clinique's Moisture Surge Active Glow Serum for 2 weeks now.

The main ingredients are vitamin C, lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid. It's also oil and fragrance free. I appreciate this combination of active ingredients as it takes the guesswork out of wondering what ingredients I can use together.

I apply a few drops after cleansing and before my moisturizer both AM and PM. It has a wonderful texture that absorbs beautifully into my skin. It works well with all my other skincare and doesn't cause any irritation.

After 2 weeks of use, I am pleased that the look of my skin has already improved; it's much clearer, smoother, and brighter. I attribute this mainly to its exfoliating properties.

ABOUT:

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily

Skincare Concerns: Dryness

Highlighted Ingredients:
- Lactic Acid 5%: Exfoliates dulling dead skin cells, helping actives to better sink in.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Moisture-binding ingredient infuses skin with plumping hydration.
- Vitamin C: Powerful antioxidant brightens the look of skin.

Ingredient Callouts: Free of parabens, phthalates, and sulfates SLS & SLES.

I'm very happy with this serum as I already use great skincare, so I wasn't expecting to have such great results.

Juice Beauty PREBIOTIX 20% Vitamin C Serum Review

Finally, a vitamin C serum that doesn't make me breakout! If you're like me and vitamin c serums can make you breakout, you've gotta try @juicebeauty 's PREBIOTIX Freshly Squeezed Glow Vitamin C Serum with 20% Vitamin C! 🍊 

I've been using it daily for just over 2 weeks and I haven't experienced any pimples or irritation. I've also noticed that my skin is clearer and brighter  I have one age spot that popped up on my skin last year, and it has definitely lightened up quite a bit since I started using this serum, which makes me very happy! I use 2 pumps of this serum every morning to cover my face and neck and follow up with a moisturizer. I also use Retin-A .04% in the evening and have for years. 

About my skin: Aging, combo/dehydrated and can be reactive to overly stimulating products. 

From Juice Beauty:

For luminous skin that evokes a freshly squeezed glow! Our 20% active Vitamin C serum is antioxidant rich, helps smooth your complexion, and provides skin microbiome hydration for a balanced, healthy look. O Magazine Best in Class.

✅️ Evens complexion 

✅️ Visibly brightens 

✅️ Hydrates and helps balance skin

This product is formulated with 20% Vitamin C in its most powerful form for the skin: ascorbic acid. All serums containing this potent form of the best Vitamin C show a color change over time and since Juice Beauty does not use synthetic dyes to mask these color changes, customers might notice the serum turning more orange.

Vitamin C can break down and oxidize over time. Juice Beauty’s formulation keeps Vitamin C for skin as fresh as possible with our rich antioxidants, Vitamin E and ferulic acid and then we deliver it to our customers in an opaque, airless glass bottle for further protection.

Eco-values: With Certified Organic Ingredients to protect humans, animals and the planet.

Sustainable Packaging: Sustainable recyclable glass bottle. 100% FSC box.

Verdict:

Although this serum comes with a heavier price tag than some other vitamin C serums, it may be worth it to you if a natural product is important to you. And, most importantly, a product that delivers results. After seeing how much my age spot has faded over the last couple of weeks, there is no denying that this product really works!

VIICode O₂M Oxygen Eye Mask For All Night Review

I recently received the VIICode O₂M Oxygen Eye Mask For All Night to try. I was pretty excited as I've suffered from a lifetime of undereye bags and puffiness. I have been advised by many Doctors that the only way to treat my under-eye bags is through surgery. Since I'm very leary of this type of surgery, I'm always trying out products in the hopes that I will find some that actually help reduce my under-eye bags. Unfortunately, It's a difficult area to treat and most products leave me disappointed. However, I stayed hopeful and I was very surprised at my results with VIICode's Eye Masks!

VIIcode oxygen eye mask (VIIcode pronounce 'vee too code') For All Night is intended for use at night time as the name implies. 

About the Brand:

The Victor family boasts a rich skincare history dating back over 200 years. Today, their products have been further enhanced using modern scientific research technology. All rare plant ingredients used are hand-selected with care, direct from nature. Each skincare product is made using natural, safe and premium quality ingredients to deliver the most incredible results.

Contains Rare Plant Ingredients - VIIcode’s specific eye patch contains rare plant ingredients, like Ecological Oxygen Plant Extraction from the rare plant Vadaniya – directly from the Alps, along with marigold, welwitschia mirabilis ,revitalizing fern, sargassum pallidum.

Claims to: take years off your appearance by reducing dark circles, puffiness, fine lines and bags, even after the initial application. 

Usage tips:
1) There are 6 treatments/box and you can use 3 treatments/week or whenever you need a quick fix!
2) For best results, use the masks 6-8 hours while sleeping. If you feel uncomfortable sleeping with the masks on, wear them 2-4 hours during the day or before bed.
3) Make sure skin is clean, dry and free of any creams or serums so that the mask can adhere better to the skin.

Each treatment is individually packaged and sealed so your next treatment is always fresh and they can be taken on the go.

I decided to try these out on a night when I was suffering from a migraine and needed a little TLC.

After washing and drying my face, I peeled off the protective film from each eye patch and placed them on my under-eye area. As directed, I gently massaged the eye masks from inner to outer corner for 2 minutes. Then I left the eye masks on while I watched TV and relaxed for the evening. I knew I probably wouldn't sleep in them due to my insomnia, so I gave myself enough time to keep them on for a few hours.

It didn't take long to get used to wearing the eye masks. After a few minutes, I forgot they were even there. I was also able to wear glasses over top of them without any issues.

Note: all photos are makeup-free and unaltered

As you can see from my makeup-free before picture, I have pretty obvious under-eye puffiness. In my case it's hereditary and it's very difficult to treat with products. The fact that I was suffering from a migraine on this day probably made the issue worse.

The above photo was taken at night right after applying my eye masks. I proceeded to settle down for the night and stream some of my favourite shows while wearing the masks. 

After photo taken the next morning after one treatment

I ended up wearing the masks for 3 hours on this night. You can sleep in them but they don't recommend wearing them for more than 8 hours. I gently peeled the masks off after 3 hours and followed up with my regular skincare routine.

unaltered, makeup-free photos

As you can see from my before and after photos, there is quite a big difference in the appearance of my undereye bags, the smoothness and clarity of my skin, and even diminished lines. I was extremely happy with the results and very pleasantly surprised. 

In the after photos, I was on day 2 of my migraine yet I looked more rested, even though I really wasn't. However, I will say that the whole treatment experience at night time was very relaxing as I find with most masks. A little self-care can go a long way, especially when you have products that deliver results like VIICode eye masks. 

I am definitely looking forward to more treatments with these masks. They would be perfect to use before a special event or anytime you need to look and feel your absolute best. And thanks to their portability, you can take them with you anywhere you go. It always makes me happy when I find a product that really lives up to its claims!

What a great gift or stocking stuffer these would make, too!

Happy masking! 👀

Marcelle Vitamin C + Peptide Collagen & Glow Moisturizer + Brightening and Smoothing Eye Cream

November is National Healthy Skin Month #NHSM In honour of this, I wanted to share with you the clean beauty brand Marcelle Cosmetics' new Vitamin C and Peptide Line. These products contain some of my absolute favourite skincare ingredients combined into one product! This saves me from purchasing separate products and having extra steps in my routine.

 

Featuring probiotics, vitamin C, peptides, squalene, and shea butter. These products protect your skin’s microbiome against external aggressors like blue light and air pollution as well as boosting youthful moisture for soft, glowing, and healthy skin.

Key ingredients:

Stabilized vitamin C: powerful antioxidant that improves skin radiance and evens skin tone

Peptide: reduces the signs of aging associated with collagen loss

Probiotics: strengthen the skin's microbiome and protect the skin barrier

I'm seriously loving these products! They have a cream-gel-like texture and feel like a drink of water for my skin.  Immediately after applying the Vitamin C and Peptide Collagen + Glow Moisturizer, my rough skin becomes beyond soft and feels firmer.  The lightweight formula is deeply hydrating and the hydration lasts! I normally have to layer multiple products to get the hydration that I'm after, but this one moisturizer does it all, and then some!

The Vitamin C and Peptide Brightening + Smoothing Eye Care Cream is also very lightweight but hydrating. It actually makes a difference in reducing my under-eye puffiness. Often, when I find a very hydrating eye cream, it can actually add to my puffiness. This eye cream softens my lines and keeps my eye area hydrated, and less puffy.

These are definitely new favourites of mine. The ingredients are fabulous but the results really won me over! 

These products are fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and cruelty-free, as always 🐰 

Let me know if you decide to give them a try ☺ 

The Black Friday/ Cyber Monday sale is on now!

New Burt's Bees Tinted Lip Balms with SPF 30 | Sienna Rose + Wild Peony

Burt's Bees just launched these gorgeous new tinted lip balms with SPF30 and non-nano zinc oxide. It's rare to find a tinted lip balm that contains an SPF but it's such a necessity! 

Burt's Bees tinted lip balms with SPF 30 contain hydrating ingredients like vitamin E, almond oil, and shea butter, to name a few. They are also formulated with a broad spectrum mineral SPF.

I'm definitely more of a tinted lip balm gal over lipstick, especially in the Summertime, but I also need an SPF to protect my lips... Burt's Bees has us covered!

I received the shades Sienna Rose and Wild Peony (swatches below). Wild Peony is my absolute favourite but I also like to mix the two. 

Both shades are beautiful, long-lasting, and keep my lips protected from UV rays. They come in your typical lip balm tube that twists up for easy application.  One of my favourite way to wear them is to layer them for a gorgeous MLBB (my lip but better) shade! 

Note: there is also a clear one for those who don't want to add any colour to their pout.

Left: Sienna Rose/ Right: Wild Peony

Here are the swatches of the 2 shades. As you can see, Sienna Rose is a very pigmented, beautiful rosy shade, so it could be worn in place of lipstick for daytime or even for an evening out. 

If you are like me and prefer a lighter, softer shade, you will probably love the shade Wild Peony. It's a light, sheer pink with a cooler undertone and I think it would suit many skin tones. 

I find that the shade Wild Peony, in particular, gives an overall youthful appearance to my face, so I absolutely love it and will purchase it when I finish this tube.

These fabulous lip balms keep my lips hydrated, protect them from UV rays, and give me a more youthful look! What more could a girl ask for!?

Available on Amazon.com, and most local drugstores.

Burt's Bees is a cruelty-free brand 🐰

Keys Soulcare Truly Becoming Multi-Benefit Peptide Serum landed on my desk recently and I was so excited as I had heard about this new brand, Keys Soulcare, that was created by Alicia Keys. Plus, I have a thing for all things skincare, peptides, and multi-benefit products! I was already impressed when I read that Alicia and her team work with board-certified dermatologists to create clean, safe, and effective products that are cruelty-free and free of harmful chemicals.

The formula targets dryness, lines, wrinkles, and dullness while helping improve overall tone and texture. 

I've really been enjoying using this serum for the last few weeks and I'm very happy with my results so far. I have been using it AM and PM and my aging skin is definitely looking plumper and more hydrated. What really took me by surprise is that my rough and bumpy forehead has become as smooth as a baby's bottom. 

I only need 2 pumps to cover my face and neck. I apply it to damp skin before my other skincare products and moisturizers. The lightweight,  fragrance-free formula immediately hydrates and soothes my skin.  It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy or sticky at all. My skin is left feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

Anyone can become a Sephora Insider and it's free to join. You become a VIB member once you've spent a specific amount with Sephora per year.

This year, there are a total of 6 Birthday gifts to choose from and all but one of those are available to all Sephora Insiders.

This year's choices are:

1. Ilia Makeup set with Multi-Stick and Mascara 

2. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow set featured in this post

3. Dior Fragrance set

4. Ouai hair sample set

5. 250 Bonus Points (can be redeemed for free bonus point products which change frequently)

6. Farmacy Skincare set - for VIB members only 

View and learn more about these options on Sephora.com.

My Mother was kind enough to let me have her birthday gift this year so I chose this Ilia set as I've been very curious about this brand.

About this gift:

Ilia Makeup Birthday Gift Set featuring Limitless Lash Mascara in shade After Midnight (Black) and Multi-Stick in shade At Last (Mauve Rose)

- Limitless Lash Mascara in shade After Midnight (Black): A clean thoughtfully formulated, award-winning, cult-favorite mascara that lifts, lengthens, curls, and separates lashes without flaking or smudging.

- Multi-Stick in shade At Last (Mauve Rose): An award-winning, buildable wash of color for cheeks and lips to instantly wake up skin. The twist-up stick makes for easy application on the go.

This reward includes:

- Limitless Lash Mascara in shade After Midnight (Black): 0.1 oz./ 3g

- Multi-Stick in shade At Last (Mauve Rose): 0.08 oz/ 2.5g

The multi stick is a gorgeous shade that should suit many skin tones. It comes in a twist up stick which makes it very easy to apply. It blends out easily to give the skin a naturally flushed look and it is buildable. The lasting time is good but similar to many other stick/cream blushes on the market. I like to apply a light dusting of setting powder over top of it to help it last longer. I did try it on my lips and eyes and didn't really like it on my eyes, and although it looks pretty on my lips, I just prefer to use it as a blush. But it's nice to have the options to use it as you wish.

I would consider purchasing the full-size mainly because they nailed this shade, in my opinion. It would also be a great choice if you are looking for a cream blush/multi stick from a clean beauty brand.

Photos taken in natural daylight with no filters

Here is the blush blended out.

It's quite a small amount of product but enough to use for a while so you can determine if you would want to purchase the full-size product.

The mascara comes with a rubber type applicator. I find that works well at adding length to my lashes but not as much in terms of volume. I personally like very full lashes as well as length. However, it does apply evenly and has a nice clean look as it is doesn't get clumpy. I also like that it's very easy to remove with just water, so I don't lose a bunch of lashes trying to get it off at the end of the day. I didn't have any flaking but found it could smudge when I got up after watching TV while laying down for a few hours, but this can happen with many mascaras. If you have a tendency towards watery eyes, this may not be a good choice for you.

I would rate the mascara as good but average. I have others that I prefer but this could be a good choice if you are looking for length from a clean beauty brand.

About Glow Recipe Birthday Gift Set:

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Skincare Birthday Gift Set featuring Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops mini and Watermelon Glow Pore Tight Toner mini.

- Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops mini: A breakthrough, multiuse highlighting serum that hydrates and visibly reduces the look of hyperpigmentation for a dewy, reflective glow—without mica, glitter, or gray cast.

- Watermelon Glow Pore Tight Toner mini: A bestselling, gentle, PHA- and BHA-infused watermelon toner that hydrates skin and minimizes the appearance of pores.

This reward includes:

- Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops mini: 0.5 fl. oz./15 mL
- Watermelon Glow Pore Tight Toner mini: 0.84 fl. oz./ 25 mL

After using the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow toner and serum (Dew Drops) all week, I am really happy that I chose this set. 

The Watermelon Glow Pore-tightening toner contains acids like PHA + AHA as well as hyaluronic acid and Cactus Water, Cucumber, Tea Tree & Hyaluronic Acid and other skin-loving ingredients to keep skin exfoliated and hydrated. I've found that it really diminished the appearance/ shrank my pores and leaves my skin feeling very clean but not dry or stripped. 

The Watermelon Glow Niacinimide Dew Drops contains skin-loving ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, moringa oil, and vitamins E and C, just to name a few. The serum is supposed to help with hyperpigmentation over time. I have melasma so I am always looking for a solution other than hydroquinone. Although this product provides some immediate benefits like hydration and a glow, it would definitely take a lot more time to see if it would help reduce or eliminate my melasma and dark spots. What I can say, is that this serum is more hydrating than I could have ever imagined- much needed during these cold months! And it definitely gives my skin long-lasting hydration as well as a beautiful youthful looking glow.

I have been using both products AM and PM and find they complement each other very well! My pores are more refined and my skin stays hydrated all day and night. I was concerned that the serum would make me breakout because of past experiences with serums that have a gel-like consistency, but I haven't experienced any breakouts at all with Glow Recipe.  I still use a moisturizer on top of the serum but I don't think it's necessary.  The toner and serum pair beautifully together for clear but hydrated and youthful-looking skin. I realize now that my skin really benefits from a toner like this one with gentle acids and I really need to incorporate one into my regular skincare routine.

I'm so glad that I got the opportunity to try these products out for free as I may not have tried them otherwise.  I like them enough that I would consider purchasing the full sizes in the future and the prices are not outrageous!

These products are free of Parabens, Mineral Oil, Sulfates, Phthalates, Drying Alcohols, Synthetic Dyes. And, they are Vegan. Cruelty-free.

Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil Review

Shu Uemura's Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil contains 8 precious oils to cleanse and nourish the skin. It has been a savior for my dehydrated skin, especially during these colder months when my skin becomes even more dry and dehydrated than it normally is.

I love all of the naturally sourced botanical oils in this Product. They are so soothing and great for all skin types including aging, sensitive, and or dehydrated skin types. 

The oil does a fabulous job at removing all of my makeup, as a first cleanse, and even as my only cleanse on some mornings. If I'm not wearing any makeup, I often use it as my only cleanse, especially when my skin is feeling dehydrated. It makes my skin feel so hydrated and soft and my skin isn't left greasy at all. It has a very light scent and I haven't experienced any irritation or breakouts on my reactive skin.

It's such a great way to cleanse the skin as it removes makeup and impurities while hydrating the skin at the same time. It contains camellia oil and squalene oil which are 2 of my all time favourite oils for anti aging and reactive skin types. 

If your skin feels tight at all, I think you will love the relief that this oil brings. I wish I hadn't been so afraid of oils when I was young and had acne. Not only did topical oils help clear up my adult acne when I became older and more informed about the wonderful benefits of oils for acne and sensitive skin, but oils are also wonderful for anti-aging!

Sure, it has a higher price tag but a little goes a long way. So if you want to treat your skin or a loved one's with some precious oils that will pamper your skin and make you feel like you've been transported to a holistic spa for an uber expensive facial, it's definitely worth it. 

About:

With a cashmere-like texture, this legendary facial cleansing oil infused with 8 precious oils renews skin quality, leaving it moisturized and feeling soft and smooth with less visible pores, for an unforgettable cleansing experience that is the ultimate in skin care. Cashmere skin quality: ultime8 complex delivers softer, smoother and moisturized skin for an exquisite makeup finish. The precious essences of 8 exquisite botanical origin oils have been merged together. These oils, carefully sought out from Chinese medicines and beauty oils all over the world, are proven to have the highest skincare efficacy. Utlime8 cleansing oil effortlessly removes all makeup and impurities.

Highly recommend this beautiful oil for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective cleansing oil.
