SOLO PLAY…

March 1, 2023 //

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…

ALL ABOUT U….

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.

HIGHLY PLEASURABLE….

products are easy to find thanks to Her Highness. I am obsessed with everything about this brand. Depending where you live, they have thc and/or cbd female forward products for every aspect of your life. The overall look of the brand is gorgeous, and the quality is top notch. I will suggest a few of their cbd products, but I highly recommend you heading to their website to see all they have to offer. The first item I tried was their Masquerade Facial Mask. It is a cbd sheet mask designed to smooth, plump, and fight wrinkles. The serum absorbs quickly into the skin, and what’s left in the package can be used for 2-3 days when stored in the fridge. This mask makes a difference, it’s not just a pampering experience. Next I tried the Single Pre Roll and Lighter. The lighter is so sexy, and refillable. The CBD pre roll is amazing. I rarely feel affects from cbd when ingesting it. This one definitely made a difference. The roll is .5mg of Cherry Blossom flavored Organic CBD. It has an extra long filter to “protect your nails and eyelashes from getting singed”. My favorite product in the line is their Highly Orgasmic Pleasure Oil. Run, do not walk, to get this stuff! It is not a lubricant, it is a pleasure oil, and OMG is it. The base is olive oil, then CBD mixed with a South American medicinal plant. They worked with a professional female herbalist to concoct this topical and make sure it is legit.  So get in with Her Highness, and bring new pleasure to your routine…

WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM….

whatever it is let Curology work on the cure. I am extremely happy with my skin at the moment. I have been using Curology’s face wash, customized serum, moisturizer, and body wash. It is a very simple service to use. They develop customizable serums to fight whatever your individual concerns are. The ingredients are medical grade and at your needed level. You just snap a few pics on your cell and answer some questions on their site. They use your pictures, lifestyle, and goals to create exactly what you need. If you are not satisfied with your current routine, I recommend trying this system out. So get a unique formula from Curology, because you’re not like anybody else ;)…

READ MY LIPS….

and my lip gloss. I love my 3 Graces lip gloss for the effect, and the messages inscribed on the package. 3 Graces started as a “collaboration between a classically trained portrait artist and skilled makeup artist. The glosses feature beautiful, vibrant pigments infused with their signature lip serum for intense color that gives a radiant shine to your lips.” Each gloss has a positive message written on the package. I use their Pink Nude, and the package reminds me  ‘In Everything Give Thanks’. There are 7 colors to choose from. Your lips will be soft and hydrated, with high shine. So pucker up for 3 Graces and give them lip….
