Poems From The Lab Future Focus Vitamin C Serum

this months new favorites. I have a new favorite Vitamin C serum. It is Poems From The Lab Future Focus. It uses 15% Ascorbic Acid and Ferulic Acid as well as Glutathione related Amino Acids. It feels amazing upon application.  It comes with a cool squeezy tube to make sure you get every drop. 

Elizabeth Arden Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum #1

I have also found an outstanding Hyaluronic Acid. Elizabeth Arden’s Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules Hydra-Plumping Serum.This is HA on acid. Like adding velvet to your skin.

Laura Mercier - Long-Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid 1W Blonde 1.52 oz / 45 mL Laura Mercier Long-Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid

Lastly the world’s best BB Cream. Laura Mercier’s Long Wear Tinted Moisturizer Natural Dewy SPF 30 with Hyaluronic Acid. This gives coverage, hydration, and a natural-luminous glow.

EYE NEED MORE…

products for my eyes. That’s why I’m using The Body Firm line -Crepe Erase Lift & Smooth Eyelid Treatment . I have sensitive eyes and have had zero reaction to the product. The rollerball applicator is soothing to use. It gives a cooling feel to the eye area which is always welcome. The serum itself is lightweight and not greasy. You can layer the product with other eye creams if you choose, though I don’t find it necessary. The dry down time is fast so it is not an issue under makeup. I see this becoming part of my everyday routine. I think it’s a great idea to tend to the eyelid as well as the under-eye area.

Here’s what I’m into this month…..

For my hair I’m loving Carol’s Daughter Born To Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. It makes hair strong, soft, and manageable.

I’m also really liking the Agadir Rosemary & Rice Water collection for both in shower and styling products.

On my face and lips I’m liking Macrene Actives High Performance Face Cream, Serum, and Lip Filler. The line gives results and is packed with good for you ingredients.

My Essence is called a Toner but it does all the things. It’s Alleven’s Total Toner.

Lastly, for my girls that love budget find, She Glam’s Insta Ready Face and Under Eye Setting Powder Duo in Bubble Gum is an incredible under eye brightener. It will also lock your concealer in place.

SOLO PLAY…

I love my Solawave Radiant Renewal Skincare Wand. This tool is so easy to use, and does not take long to do a treatment. To me those are the two most important qualities in an at home device. This wand is actually very affordable as well. Solawave has their own line of recommended products to use with this device. I used my own serums and had wonderful results. You are best to use a product like a Hyaluronic Acid (which I did) or something Water or Aloe Vera based. Reapply if it dries into your skin before you finish your treatment. You want that “slip” there to help move the wand and transfer the microcurrent . The wand uses Red Light Therapy for radiance and antiaging effects as well as fighting dark spots and blemishes. The Microcurrent Therapy stimulates the deeper layers of your skin while the facial massage from the low vibration fights puffiness. Lastly the Therapeutic Warmth helps promote better penetrations of your products.

FEB FINDS….

here’s what I am playing with this month…

Alastin Skincare’s HA Immerse Serum. It’s lightweight, absorbs quick, great for layering, and sits well under makeup. It’s won some awards, and Alastin is a skincare company you can trust.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss. Everytime I think I found my favorite gloss, I fall in love with another. This is definitly a top 3. I have it in Pink 001, and it is perfect. The right amount of shine, no stickyness, and great hold.

I pair the above gloss with the perfect Nude Liner I found from ColourPop. It’s their Lippie Pencil in BFF. It goes on smooth and easy, and pairs with any nude lip or pink gloss.

Stay tuned for what March brings…

PINK….

banana! I have yet to try a Kadalys product I haven’t liked. Kadaly’s Organic Pink Oil Banana Glow Booster Serum is another great product in the line. It is called a serum and an Oil. To me it is an Oil and should be used as an Oil. Though it says you can layer moisturizer on top of it, I’m not sure the actives like Retinols would seep through? You need very little of this product for majorly hydrated skin. I live in humid Miami and was able to layer makeup on top of it. I’m excited to bring this up north on vacation to fight the dry winter weather. It is designed to fight aging, free radicles, and uneven skin tone. I enjoy the scent, and love the color. I love that it is clinically tested as well as vegan, organic, paraben free and cruelty free. Remember two drops does the job. It’s easy to go to heavy with this.

IT’S BRILLIANT

Cosmedix’s BrillianCy Vitamin C Brightening Face Oil is a great find. The directions advise you to use it as you would a serum or moisturizer, ie. put on dry skin after cleansing. I use this as I use all my oils, as a last step for major hydration and to lock in my serum and moisturizer. I do this only at night. It is designed to be used both day and night, but I think it is too heavy for day time. It smells great. A little goes a long way, you do not need a full dropper’s worth. I used the excess on my hands before bed and could feel the added smoothness in the morning. I have combination skin. I think this is best for combination or dry skin. So get your vitamin C, in an oil, how brilliant of you…

U Beauty skincare. I have been using their Resurfacing Compound. This product and brand have a cult following and I can see why. This serum is designed brighten, tighten, even out, and resurface skin. It is a clean beauty product and leaping bunny certified. The key to how this product works is the “Siren Capsules”. The Siren Capsules “deliver age-reversing ingredients to the most vulnerable areas of the skin while avoiding the exposure of harsh actives to areas that don’t need treatment. The result? Healthy skin maintains its integrity and realizes visible improvement, while dryness and irritation are avoided. By stopping free radicals in their tracks, SIREN Capsules prevent visible signs of damage and aging.”

THIS BRAND…..

has never disappointed me. Tatcha continues to have some of the best products out there and the prettiest packaging. Lately I’ve been using their The Deep Cleanse Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser and the best selling Violet-C Brightening Serum. The cleanser gently removes all makeup and dirt while minimizing excess oil and uncloging my pores. It is gel like and turns to a creamy foam. The Violet-C is 20% Vitamin C with 10% AHA’s. This is designed to brighten and strengthen skin for a more radiant look. The directions say to use it at night but I used it in the daytime after the Tatcha Essence and followed with moisturizer and sunblock. Check out Tatcha, they won’t let you down.
