1) Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology

Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology

Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology

WHY I LOVE IT: My dermatologist recommended Alastin Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology. The TriHex Technology is a proprietary blend of peptides and other key ingredients that help clear away damaged and aged proteins in the skin’s ECM.

The day after our appointment, I opened New Beauty Magazine’s Summer 2019 edition and noticed Alastin’s TrasFORM BODY TREATMENT with TriHex Technology was listed as #1 in their article “Power Duos.”

Alastin’s Skincare Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology is listed as #2 in New Beauty’s 13 Powerful Skin Care Products Dermatologists Wish Their Patients Used at Home.

HOW TO USE IT: Apply this serum every morning to face and neck. Then, apply your favorite sunscreen.

Hourglass Cosmetics Makeup Brushes

WHY I LOVE THEM: Oh my gosh. I looooveee Hourglass Cosmetic’s makeup brushes! I have tried so many different makeup brushes from several brands….

Hourglass’s makeup brushes are sooo soft, dense, and do not pull on your skin when applying makeup. The tug and pulling on my skin is something I’ve noticed from most makeup brushes (even high end brands) that I’ve used, especially if it has denser bristles. These brushes are dense, yet STILL so soft with NO tugging and pulling. They also last for years so they’re worth the investment!

HOW TO USE THEM:

No1 Powder Brush (top brush on the right): This brush works great for application of liquid foundation or mineral foundation. I applied Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Smooth-Effect Makeup Foundation with this brush. The bristles are made of Taklon hair, which is more hygienic and kinder to animals (since Taklon is not sourced from animals).

Retractable Foundation Brush (middle brush pictured) This brush is amazing for traveling. It can be used as your regular foundation brush, or bronzer, etc.. This brush is also great for blending in your makeup after application, if there are any harsh lines left over. Also uses soft Taklon bristles.

Ambient Powder Brush I applied my blush with this brush, right under the cheek bones. Also uses soft Taklon bristles. Compact, softttttt, dense bristles and beautiful.


Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Smooth-Effect Makeup

chanel+beauty+products.jpg

WHY I LOVE IT: I’ve tried sooo many foundations and Chanel Perfection Lumiere Velvet Smooth-Effect is my favorite by far! The color blends in seamlessly, no orange tone, and is lightweight, yet still buildable. The finish IS soft like velvet. It’s a great foundation during the day AND going out at night. This works great over sunscreen, bare face, or at night—over a serum or primer. Absolutely love this foundation.

HOW TO APPLY IT: Use an Hourglass foundation brush No1 or their Retractable Foundation Brush to apply, or, your favorite brush, beauty blender, etc.

Alima Pure Lip Tint in “Paprika”

Alima Pure Lip Tint in shade “Paprika”

Alima Pure Lip Tint in shade “Paprika”

WHY I LOVE IT: Alima Pure Lip Tints are like beneficial lip balms transformed into rich lip tints. This lip tint is like a skincare makeup hybrid. I love the lip benefitting ingredients in this formula, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, pumpkin seed oil, camellia seed oil, olive oil, punica oil, coconut oil, and more. It’s also preservative free.

HOW TO APPLY IT: I apply this tint with my finger for a lip color enhancing shade. The shades of the lip tints are very rich, and depending how you apply it, it can be worn as a lipstick or a lip enhancing tint.

Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils #04 Fascinating Violet

Yves Saint Laurent’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils in shade #04 Fascinating Violet

Yves Saint Laurent’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils in shade #04 Fascinating Violet

WHY I LOVE IT: Most of the time when I wear this mascara, someone compliments the color and asks me where I got my mascara. Yves Saint Laurent’s formula in Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils is buildable to create a dramatic lash or can be applied lightweight with one or 2 coats. HOWEVER—the deep violet purple shade is what keeps me loyal and so excited for this mascara year after year. It’s such a deep beautiful shade. It’s a dark deep purple, so the color purple is only noticeable if someone stares closely at your eyelashes in direct sunlight. (This happened a few times while I was wearing this, and in a good way, ends in compliments and asking “what mascara is that?”)

I also mention Yves Saint Laurent’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils in shade #04 Fascinating Violet in my blog post “Packing Light for a Girls Trip! Which Essential Products I Picked!”

HOW TO APPLY IT: If you have blue or green eyes you will LOVE this shade. The purple shade enhances blue eye colors. If you have brown eyes, try the burgundy shade. It will enhance your brown eyes.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

Enjoy these makeup finds! These beauty products are all timeless, classic, and you will be happy with them!

Raiding Products in the Pharmacy in France!

Scroll through and see my French pharmacy product picks! :)

French+pharmacy+products

One of my favorite parts of France is visiting their pharmacy.

French FDA regulations for cosmetics in France are different than in the United States. So, certain skincare ingredients are found in French products, but these ingredients are not found in the U.S. version of the same product.

Here are the products I picked and why….

La Roche Posay  Sunscreen, Anthelios line

Star ingredients: Mexoryl, other names for Mexoryl…. Mexoryl SX (Terephthalylidene dicamphor sulfonic acid or ecamsule), Mexoryl XL (drometrizole trisiloxane)

In Europe, skin care manufacturers have the option to choose out of 7 UVA-ray filtering ingredients that deliver better performance advantages than UVA filters available in the United States. The sun’s UVA rays cause premature ageing while its UVB rays cause sunburn. Mexoryl, protects against both UVA-1 and UVA-2 rays.

Zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and avobenzone are UVA-ray filters used in the United States which don’t compare to the UVA protection offered by Mexoryl. **Mexoryl is a safe ingredient as far as I know, and is currently under FDA review in the United States **

Research data has shown that Mexoryl in particular is more effective than either zinc oxide or titanium oxide alone in blocking UVA/UVB rays, and in fact blocks in a similar range to zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in combination. Mexoryl, available as SX (water soluble) and XL (lipid soluble), is very effective for two reasons: one, it is very stable [as a benzylidene camphor derivative], and two, because it absorbs light at a broader range of UVA wavelengths than many other chemical sunscreens.
— Nicki Zevola, futurederm.com

My first choice for the La Roche-Posay, Anthelios line was Dermo-Pediatrics SPF50+ since its formula is sensitive enough for children, while still containing full UVA protection. I just prefer sensitive skin formulas in sunscreen.  

The second choice was Anthelios XL 50+ since it contains Mexoryl XL and Mexoryl SX, and nice for everyday use, but also still perfect for the beach since it’s waterproof. It also comes in a 250ml bottle as opposed to the smaller bottle!!

Monacodreaming

Caudalie Vine[Activ] eye cream

Star ingredient: Resveratrol

Caudalie uses the antioxidant found in red wine, resveratrol, which is the highly coveted anti-aging antioxidant found in red wine. Researchers have found that topical resveratrol has a 17-fold greater antioxidant content than idebenone, which is also an expensive and powerful antioxidant used in anti-aging products. What better way than to invest in some anti-aging resveratrol when it’s sourced right from one of the main wine regions in France, Bordeaux and is at a bargain price when compared to the price sold in the U.S.!

Vine[Active] is amazing because it uses a high concentration of grape polyphenols, I like to apply this antioxidant defense in the morning lightly patting under my eyes, under my eyes and under my brow bone.

Caudalie Masque Purifiant

Star ingredients: Kaolin clay and Bentonite clay

I love Caudalie’s Masque Purifiant because it’s purifying with Kaolin (the second ingredient used) and Bentonite clay and also delivers a high concentration of antioxidants from plant origin. You can use this mask 2-3 times a week, and I like to apply to my face and décolletage. **All the ingredients are the same in this formula as in the United States’ formula, but the price is lower!

Nuxe Paris Huile Prodigieuse, a shimmering dry oil

Star ingredients: Camellia Oil, Argan Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Olive Oil, Rosemary extract, Tomato fruit extract

The next product I had to snag is by Nuxe Paris, Huile Prodigieuse. Not only does the bronze/gold oil contain shimmering gold particles, but it contains skin benefitting ingredients to nourish your skin at the same time. The finish is non-greasy and the scent is like wearing a perfume in itself. Definitely a favorite of mine, and of course, the price is unbeatable and cheaper than in the U.S.! The application is via a spray glass bottle accentuated by a beautiful gold cap. I love to apply it to my legs, arms, and décolletage when I’m wearing a dress or shorts on a night out. It can also be applied to your body or hair.

CannesGalaLaurastone

Savon Liquide de Marseille a’l’Huile d’ Argan

Star ingredients: Argan Oil, Rose essential oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Coconut Oil

The last product I grabbed on my pharmacy haul was Savon Liquide de Marseille a’ l’ Huile d’ Argan, for only 5 euros and at a 500ml bottle. With Argan Oil, Rose essential Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E) AND Coconut oil, the price for this body wash is a steal. I saw this product as I was checking out and was amazed at the price for the amount in the bottle and the quality of ingredients within this. What’s great about body washes like this is that they are moisturizing enough to use as a shaving gel.

Tip—> If you aren’t headed to France anytime soon, check pharmamundi.com or frenchcosmeticsforless.com to order products overseas. The shipping time could be up to a month.

*This* Ruby Balm Still Woos Mandy Moore

Mandy Moore mentions one of her all time favorites. Camellia Ruby Balm by Julie Hewett, in a Refinery29 interview, even 10 years after Moore discovered the Camellia Ruby Balm on the “Because I said so!” set! Camellia Ruby Balm has a sheer red tint…..

Multi-Use Beauty Product Ruby Balm is Still a Favorite of Mandy Moore’s!

Golden Globes, 2017

Golden Globes, 2017

Mandy Moore mentions her love for Julie Hewett’s Camellia Ruby Balm in an interview with Refinery 29 on January 9th, 2017. In the interview with MI-Anne Chan, “The Weird Thing That Makes Mandy Moore Break Out– & How She Deals,” Moore says that Julie Hewett’s Camellia Ruby Balm is a product that she discovered on the “Because I said so!” set in 2007, and that she likes so much, that she has kept it for herself and mentions it in the Refinery29 interview 10 years later!

I am obsessed with Julie Hewett’s Camellia Ruby Balm. It looks bright pink, but gives the perfect tint on the lips and it’s pretty much all I wear for my character in 1988, but now I use it in my day-to-day life, too.
— Mandy Moore, Refinery 29

Moore’s favorite—shop it here ->Camellia Ruby Balm by Julie Hewett

Camellia Ruby Balm has a sheer red tint that is perfect for every day casual use, or natural enhancement of the lips. At the same time, the main ingredient base of this balm is camellia oil and makes up 70% of the tinted balm stick. Camellia oil is touted for its high content of vitamins A, B, C & E and other minerals like Potassium, Zinc, Calcium, Iron, Manganese and Magnesium. It’s non pore clogging and the molecule of Camellia oil is small enough to penetrate the deepest layers of the skin, more so than other plant oils.

Camellia Ruby Balm also contains rose oil and grape seed oil and orange oil. This balm promotes healing of imperfections, contains natural UVA protection is rich in anti-oxidants and anti-aging polyphenols.

The Julie Hewett team is ecstatic that Mandy Moore still continues to use their Camellia Ruby Balm as a staple in her beauty arsenal since she discovered it on the movie set “Because I said so!” back in 2007.

Mandy Moore looked astounding at the 2017 Golden Globes on January 8th. Clearly, she is doing something right!

Shop it—-> www.skinupusa.com

Let’s break down the ingredients in SkinUp’s “Starter Kit”…

  • Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA): The antioxidant highly tauted by Dr. Perricone, alpha lipoic acid has the ability to slow down the degeneration of collagen production. It is a fat soluble and water-soluble antioxidant, which means it can work not only on the cell membrane to protect it from damage, but also within the cell. ALA also works synergistically with other antioxidants such as vitamin C or E.

  • Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid holds 1,000 times its molecular weight in water and is like a magnet for water, which in turn helps your skin stay hydrated. Hyaluronic acid also plays well with other ingredients, it can be used with retinol. Vitamin C, and AHA’s.

  • Coq10: Coq10 (or ubiquinone) is another powerful antioxidant that helps slow down the aging process of skin. Coq10 aids elastin and collagen production. Coq10’s molecule is also small enough to penetrate the skin cell’s membrane and deliver its benefits within the cell.

  • Soy: Soy is known to maximize the benefits of hyaluronic acid, so this is definitely a plus! Other benefits include brightening the skin, decreasing redness, boosting collagen production and improving skin tone.

  • Aloe: A very calming, soothing, anti-inflammatory ingredient that also contains vitamins such as vitamins A, B, C, D and E, as well as magnesium, potassium and zinc.

SKINUP is super easy to put together. SKINUP arrives fully charged, and you just pour “Hydrating Elixir” into the device, and you’re ready to spray and throw it into your bag.

Colors are also available in black and blue. *Men approved, too!
