Need An Instant Eye Lift? No Surgery Required!

I have some awful genetic eye bags.

They aren't from being tired.

They are "fat pads" that bulge out when your skin loses it's elasticity and strength as you age.

Aging sucks.

A plastic surgeon told me that there is only one way to cure bags like mine...

go under the knife for Blepheroplasty.

 

Farmacy Natural Anti-Aging Serum Review & Giveaway

Can a NATURAL serum give real results?

Absolutely Yes!

Six weeks ago I received a bottle of Farmacy Invincible Anti-Aging Serum for experimental review purposes.

Farmacy also sent me 10 of their deluxe sample sizes of Sleep Tight Firming Night Balm to give away after I finished my self-experimentation. Nine of you will win one of those now, and one I'm saving to send to the winner of my Spring 2016 Big Beauty Product Giveaway (coming within about 2-3 weeks).

All Natural Mask with Only ONE Ingredient!

Sometimes when you read through the ingredients list of beauty products, you can feel like you need a PhD in chemistry...trying to figure out all those weird sounding ingredients.

Even with some "Natural" products, it can be tough, because some natural ingredients can have really scientific sounding names.

But with a new mask I just tried out, there's only 1 ingredient, and it's all natural: Moroccan Lava Clay (Argile).

My NATURAL Serum Kicks Butt With Vitamin C, Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Naicinamide!

My serum is better than yours!

(Boasted with complete childish sarcasm!)

Seriously, I have found THE serum.

It's my Holy Grail face care product.

In my (almost) 42 years, I've never used a product that not only delivered so much, but did it affordably ($22.89), AND its NATURAL!

Yes...it's all that, Girls.

Hot Flashes, Night Sweats & Mood Swings, Oh My! Help!!

**UPDATED...BELOW**
Even though I haven't quite reached my 42 birthday, my hormones have been getting wackier and wackier over the last couple of years. For about 8 months I've been having hot flashes. Not fun, but totally manageable for me. I just grab up whatever's near by and fan myself wildly for the minute or two it occurs, then life goes on.

But...

But!!!

Then I started having night sweats!

VERY not fun.

 

Being awakened several times a night feeling like you are in the pits of Hades simply does not make for a well-rested, happy person come morning!

Hello Internet!

Forget Pills! Absorb Your Vitamin B12 & Your Magnesium?

Although I must take a number of pills, I don't enjoy it.

Especially those big horse pills!

When I can find an alternative way to take my supplements and vitamins, other than pills, I'm all for it. I try to get as many of my vitamins naturally, through my food, as possible. But some levels are just not going to be achieved through food alone, so I must supplement.

I recently found a very cool alternative method for a couple of vitamins I like to take:

absorbing through the body's largest organ...the skin!

  

Going Natural For Cheap?! Radha Skincare's WorkHorse Duo of Organic Oils to the Rescue!

As previously mentioned, I'm trying to slowly convert more of my life to natural, organic and sustainable products.

I can't do it all at once, because that would be costly and a bit emotionally painful (goodbye to most of my current makeup!)...but I can do little bits here and there.

 

I recently found a few GREAT products that fit into my plan BEAUTIFULLY.

Dreaded Sunspots! A $125 Japanese Serum to Fix Them?

A little over 3 weeks ago, I received a brand new

(so new that it's just now available in the US)

product that originated in Japan. It's supposed to diminish the appearance of spots and also help brighten the appearance of skin. 

I got it free from Influenster for testing/review purposes.

This EQUITANCE Brightening Serum & Spot Corrector retails for $125 HERE.

 

Lancer Eye Cream $95 - Did It Work?

I think we may all have at least one thing about ourselves that we wish we could improve.

For me, that would be my under eyes. I would even consider surgery (lower blepharoplasty) to fix my ever-present baggage...if it didn't cost $3K.

(OK, truth...also if it didn't look like such a painful & gross surgery.)

But, if there was some way to fix what genetics has given me that didn't require all that? Sign me up!

 

So, for now, I try the latest, (supposedly) greatest, most touted eye creams to see if they help.

The latest I tried?

Lancer Eye Contour Lifting Cream with MDCP Complex.

A Miracle for Wrinkles!...Sort-of?

As I approached 40, I became a bit more aware of my forehead wrinkles and lines.

They've been there for a while now,

but I've successfully ignored them for the most part. 

After all, I've been fairly focused on

disliking my under eye bags
and lamenting the way they age me.
Ha.

But, apparently the wrinkles,

especially the one above my nose,

just between my brows,

have become more noticeable to me.

They seem deeper.

I do use a fairly strong OTC retinol treatment (.5%), and I think it helps, but it's not good enough.

I wanted something to help make them disappear.

Like immediately.
