Truth serum: is infused with vitamin C, formulated to help brighten the skin and fights visible signs of aging. I haven’t used it long enough to tell you that the fighting of aging works, but does soften the face and helps with a more bright looking youthful face.
Sheer transformation perfecting moisturizer: this has multi-fruit acids. How different?! Acids of fruits include: lemons, oranges, bilberry, sugarcane, and sugar maple (i checked). This helps even skin tones for people with hyper-pigmentation like I and discoloration. This is very useful in the mornings when your(your mine, anyway) hyper-pigmentation is at its worst and have blotchy random pink spots on your face. It helps soothe and soften my complexion.
Invigorating night transformation gel: this also helps to even skin tones and evens skin texture! this was definitely on my NEED list as I have textured skin. This has helped me even my texture a bit since my first use. I’m excited about this product! I plan on continuing to use this to see if it completely gets rid of every texture – i’ll keep you posted.

Can I begin by saying, this is one of my FAVORITE brands. I love their formulas, consistency with their products and consumer friendly prices! I just cannot get enough. These highlighters, when swatched on my arm, looked like glitter & made me afraid to put it on my face BUT when I actually tried it, AMAZING. Definitely not as glittery on the face. It was such a creamy consistency so the distribution of the product was so easily manipulated. BUT make sure to close the lid very tightly after every use, which is also stated on the product.

This stippling brush looked so cute with the clear handle, I just had to give it a try! This made me want all the brushes that came with the same clear handle. The bristles are the absolute softest! Like, when I put it on my face, I just want to just keep brushing; even when I notice that the foundation is applied seamlessly, I keep working and it actually works magic. I love this brush.

Lashes, pigments, and more!

@neostrata #BionicFaceSerum is a serum that can is used daily to help restore the radiance of skin and diminish the appearance of the following: fine lines, wrinkles, the size of pores, laxity, and pigmentation. It contains 10% lactobionic acid, a potent antioxidant, and vitamins A, C, and E. This serum when applied to the face provides intense moisture, while strengthening the benefits of other anti-aging. I usually use this as an all-over facial treatment including the neck but it can be used as spot treatments such as under eye treatment or around the mouth for fine lines and wrinkles.

This is recommended to use as a daily morning moisturizer over a clean face, under any sunscreen or makeup. When first applied, this serum has a very stick consistency which will help your foundation stick to your face and stay on for a longer period of time. Therefore, in my opinion, this serum can be used as a primer before makeup. For a daily evening use, this serum can also be used under moisturizer; alone or layered under different products.

This product can be found on www.neostrata.com. This is a splurge product. It is high in cost and is not fairly economic. It costs $78 and you receive a 1.0-ounce pump bottle. The bottle is very easy to use and does not get messy at the slightest.

The lactobionic acid in the NeoStrata Bionic Face Serum is clinically proven to improve the skin texture and smoothness. This serum is also clinically proven to reduce the signs of aging. After 12 weeks of use, 94% of users reported improved skin texture and smoothness, 84% of users reported increased elasticity. 81% of respondents reported/noticed healthier looking skin and so on. These statistics are all shown on the @NeoStrata serum website under clinical results.

I have acne prone skin and this is the only thing I can actually use every day and night without having irritations on my skin. My skin is super soft, supple, and glowing in the mornings when used the night before that I can’t stop looking in the mirror when I wake up – something completely different than what I’m used to. The acne and acne scars on my skin made it impossible for me to wake up in the mornings and look forward to looking in the mirror. I’ve gotten so many compliments on how my skin glows since I started using this serum. Although there are still minor acne scars left, I have seen a noticeable difference. Not only me, but my sisters all ask me how I’ve managed to get such glowing skin. If you try it for yourself, you’ll know what I’m saying. I have recommended this to my family members, as well as my friends and I highly recommend this to everyone wanting to splurge on something that actually works.

This Bionic Face Serum is a gentle bionic formulation that can be used on all skin types, including fragile, post-procedure skin. I have very acne-prone, combination/oily skin on my T-zone and dry patches near my forehead. This works for me. My sister has normal skin and she also tried it a couple of times. She said it didn’t try out her skin or make it oily. It has the most perfect amount of moisture without making it excessive and oily.

The directions to use this product is to apply to the face and neck daily following cleansing and before applying other cosmetic products. Can be used for an all-over facial treatment or applied to specific target areas such as under the eye or around the mouth. Daily use of sunscreen is recommended as a part of a healthy skincare regimen.

@100percentpure fruit pigmented lip and cheek stain: This pigment is very rich in color, absolutely gorgeous & is waterproof. Therefore, it can be worn during a day at the beach (since summer is here!) to give yourself that very minimal natural blush effect, as if you’re not wearing any makeup! It’s in such cute packaging! I love it. It’s the perfect size to carry with you!

@Graftobianmakeup HD LuxeCashmere Setting Powder in Banana Cream Pie. This powder, when used, helps smooth and quickly mattify the skin without making it excessively dry. The one I got neutralizes red and ruddy undertones. This adds warmth to the face to light and medium undertones. It works so well and I use it as an under eye powder to bake and set concealer without making it look muddy or cakey. I highly recommend this to everyone searching for a new powder to use!

100 Percent Pure Lavender Tonique

@100percentpure Lavender Tonique:
Soothing tonique purifies and cleans out pores while refreshing and hydrating your complexion. DMAE firms, lifts, and lessens lines and wrinkles. MSM is an organic sulfur found in vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, etc.. that helps our skin by increasing collagen and keratin production.
For whom? For all.
How to use:
Spray onto face after cleansing or apply with a cotton pad. Wait until fully dry before applying moisturizer.
Opinion:
I first used this lavender tonique and completely fell in love with it. I have combination/oily skin and it works just fine! I just spray it directly on my face after washing my face to remove any excess makeup and/or dirt from the day to refresh during the night right before I go to bed. This cleans all the excess oils from my skin without over drying my skin and leaving my skin with dry patches. I have extremely sensitive and acne-prone skin, but this works perfectly. I also love the way it smells: very subtle not overpowering. I can feel my face feeling hydrated after using this. It doesn’t irritate the skin or eyes. I 100% recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves their skin! It will thank you later, I promise!

Colourpop Cannoli Highlighter Trio

@colourpopcosmetics “cannoli trio”:


Frosted– satin soft true gold

Whipped– tie dye warm silvery taupe

Wisp– pearlized golden champagne with gold pears


All 3 of these highlighters are super creamy and very pigmented. The colors are stunning and compliment the skin tone really well. This trio is specifically recommended for medium skin tones. The texture is so soft; they’re long lasting, and the price is amazing! It’s $20 for all three! Whipped is my favorite. The subtle flecks of hot pink makes the highlighter so full of life, fun, and different! I definitely recommend — again, to medium skin tones!

#BrushSuggestions: Use a flat synthetic foundation/cheek brush or a duo fiber brush. A flat synthetic brush will give more coverage, while the duo fiber brush will give it more of a sheer and airbrushed glow. #gifted | #ad | #octolyfamily
