La Creme De La Creme In Beauty

Friday, October 21, 2016

When it comes to femininity and exquisiteness nothing comes remotely close to Giorgio Armani's Si Eau De Parfum Intense. They have a flare for cultivating desirable fragrances and developing magnificent beauty products.


Giorgio Armani Si Parfum is their latest creation. It's concoction of Black Currant, Vanilla, Silky Freesia and Chypre Accord puts this fragrance in a league of its own. With its captivating woody scent many will find it enchanting.

Esthetically the parfum bottle is undeniably luxurious. It's pleasing to the eye as well as magnificently designed with gold detailing.


Giorgio Armani Eau De Parfum is extremely long wearing. The parfum consists of 20 percent oil concentration. Twenty percent is typically the highest rank in perfume extract. The higher the percentage of fragrance concentration levels the parfum has the longer the scent will last.
A couple of spritz on your neck or wrist is really all you need for an everlasting scent all day.

Giorgio Armani Eau De Parfum 1.0 oz / 30 ml retails for $75.00 dollars and can be purchased at GiorgioArmaniBeauty.com


Giorgio Armani Lip Maestros are ecstatically magnificent. They're described as a lip gloss but I found it to be much more like a lip stain. They are supremely rich in color and have incredible staying power on the lips. Matte lippies are usually drying but these are totally the opposite. These matte lip stains are extremely hydrating and moisturizing on the lips. Feels as light as a feather on my lips. So creamy and velvety smooth, it's like nothing I've tried before.


The Lip Maestro shade 201 Dark Velvet is what I'm wearing on my lips. It's a brownish dark vampy red. It's the perfect shade for the Fall Season.


The Lip Maestro shade 400 - The Red is a very vibrant crisp red and has a lustrously glossy velvety texture as demonstrated in the video.

Giorgio Armani Lip Maestros are retailed at $38 dollars and are available for purchase at GiorgioArmaniBeauty.com


With an abundance of shades to choose from you really can't go wrong with any shade. The shades are beautifully crafted and compliments every skin tone perfectly.

Too tired to visit your nail salon? Annoyed by the hours spent in getting your nails done? Would you love to achieve salon looking nails in the comfort of your own home? If the answer is yes, well I have the perfect solution.

Formula X has developed The System Xcel. It's a four piece gel manicure kit. The kit includes the Cleanse Xcel nail cleanser, your choose of Formula X nail polish, Prime Xcel base coat and Shine Xcel top coat. When purchased through the Sephora website you will be able to choose the Formula X nail polish of your choice.


The Cleanse Xcel is the first step in achieving salon looking nails. The Cleanse Xcel is a unique flash dry formula. When lightly brushed over nails it removes any oils your nails might have gathered and it also conditions your nails. The Cleanse Xcel provides you with a fresh canvas to work on.


Prime Xcel is the second step to this amazing system. It preps your nails creating the foundation for a flawless polish application. This is not your ordinary nail base coat. It's infused with keratin and advanced bonding agents. Applying one coat of the Prime Xcel unto your nails helps keep the nail polish last longer and keeps your nails from staining.



Step three. It's nail polish time. Apply your favorite Formula X nail polish. With so many to choose from, how can you go wrong. From neutrals to bold shades, there's always a color for our every mood.


My favorite Formula X nail polish is TGIF. It's a beautiful coral pink shade took me from summers end gracefully into the beginning for the fall season.
 

Lastly step four is Formula X Shine Xcel top coat. Shine Xcel is not your basic top coat. It's an acrylic based which allows to seal in color with a gel like appearance. Makes your nails look glossy and its fast drying.


When it comes to removing my nail polish, I've always been an avid acetone remover user. I pretty much thought that's all that was available on the market but that's not the case. Formula X has its very own nail polish remover. Formula X Delete All in the hottest new product on the market. It's a five finger polish remover.



Formula X Delete All polish remover works wonders. It's easy to use, mess free and removes nail polish in seconds. It's made of a soft sponge with five finger holes and saturated with nail polish remover. It conveniently allows you to insert your fingers into the sponge. By gently rubbing your nails against the sponge it removes all your nail polish instantly.




It's a hassle free polish remover in seconds. You don't have to worry about spillage or any messes. This is such an amazing product.

The Best In Anti-Aging Skincare

Thursday, August 4, 2016

I love trying and testing out new skincare products because I'm all about anti-aging. I was excited when I was given the opportunity to try some of the best skincare on the market. Ole Henriksen develops some top notch skincare products in the industry. So imagine how ecstatic I was when gifted a few of these gems shown below. 
 

Let's chat about Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster. It was developed to brighten skin complexions for healthier younger looking skin. The serum contains Vitamin C which allows to help to produce collagen back into the skin. The production of collagen helps to combat fine lines and wrinkles. Retaining collagen in your skin helps you look much younger and youthful. You can find the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen at Sephora. The 1oz retails for $48 and the 1.7 oz retails for $72.


Using the product on a daily basis has really improved my skin. My skin complexion looks so much brighter. It has definitely even out my skin tone as well. After just a few days I've noticed a considerable difference in the way my skin looks. My skin never felt so hydrated until now.

Every morning right before my makeup routine I would prime my face with the Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster. It absolutely left my face feeling amazing. The serum just soaks right into my skin. It's not greasy or sticky. It just feels fantastic. I can definitely feel the Vitamin C penetrating into my skin. On the days I'm makeup free I just use this as a moisturizer. It just awakens my skin and works wonders. I'm so happy with the results that I've already integrated this product as part of my night time routine. It's just such a gem and works amazingly as a moisturizer as well.



Now let's beauty chat over the Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Crème. This is an anti aging cream that contains botanical extracts, vitamins and smoothing fruit acids. The cream also helps to produce collagen and contains Ester C. Ester C is a Calcium Ascorbate which is a unique exclusive form of vitamin C.

You might be thinking, well what's the difference between Ester C and Vitamin C? Ester C is a pH neutral product that is composed differently from the regular Vitamin C. Ester C is an ascorbic acid. The main source of this product is calcium ascorbate.

You can fine the Ole Henriksen Sheer Transformation Crème at Sephora. The 0.5oz retails for $14 and the 1.7oz retails for $38 and the 3oz retails for $65.


I have very dry skin so I need all the moisture I can get. And this product definitely did not disappoint. It felt like a dream applying this crème on my face. It's so lightweight and goes on sheer when applied. It's very hydrating not oily at all. It also absorbs immediately when applied. Made my skin feel smoother and silkier to the touch. I really saw a difference in the texture of my face. The way it just softens my skin is absolutely fantastic.

I  applied this crème on my makeup free days and usually at night. It's such
an amazing moisturizer. I have very sensitive skin and this crème has been a dream come true.



No time for the spa?! No worries Ole Henriksen Power Bright will do the trick in the comfort of your own home. This marvelous 3 step brightening system polishes, brightens and nourishes for a more radiant looking skin. You can find the Ole Henriksen Power Bright at Sephora for $66.

I really loved this 3 step system. I felt like I was at the spa getting one professionally done. Step 1 which was the Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask was remarkable. After applying it my skin felt much smoother and I definitely saw an overall radiance to my skin. Step 2 really brighten up my complexion and I definitely saw an improvement with my fine lines. Fine lines were much more faded and pores seemed diminished. Step 3 was amazing. After application my skin looked more radiant and felt more hydrated. For best results I recommend using it at night.

I have dry sensitive skin and this product worked amazingly well on my skin. Help very much with fine lines and dullness. After application my skin felt softer and smoother. My skin was noticeably brighter and more radiant. It's a great product to use and I will be repurchasing more Ole Henriksen skincare.


Want to be more gentle on your skin?! These Ole Henriksen Professional Cleansing Sponges do the trick! It's portable and perfect for any travel adventure and great for daily use. These sponges are very thin and expand with water.

These sponges are great to have and I believe are an essential for your skincare routine. The sponge has a soft and gentle texture. Works great for a light exfoliation.

Youth In A Bottle

Wednesday, June 1, 2016

Recently I got my little hands on one of the beauty industry's top bestseller's in skincare. Recognizably known among Hollywood's elite and who's who in celebrities. Yup you guess it! It's the Sk-II Facial Treatment Essence. It's definitely the must have in skincare today.

SK-II was formulated in Japan. 90 percent of the formulation is made up of an ingredient called "Pitera". This ingredient was discovered over 30 years ago. Throughout all those years the ingredient has stayed exactly the same. It also contains many other beneficial ingredients such as vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and acids that help promote the skin’s renewal cycle.


SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is suppose to help improve your skin's texture and correct and fade skin pigmentation cause by sun damage and aging. It also helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines.

After continuously using this skincare product for a few weeks I noticed a change in my skin's texture. My skin seemed more refine and more tighter. My face looked more brighter and skin more clearer. It really gave my skin an brilliant radiating glow.

In conjunction with my SK-II Facial Treatment Essence I also used the SK-II Facial Treatment.


The SK-II Facial Treatment Mask was a life saver for my dry out and dehydrated skin. The SK-II Facial Treatment is a face mask pack with the Pitera ingredient, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids.

Once I applied the mask unto my face I could instantly feel it working wonders. After my application I saw the effectiveness it had on my skin. I have very dry skin and this gave my skin the hydration I was so longing for. It provided my skin with intense hydration and an enchanting overall radiance to my face. My face felt refreshed and instantly cooled.


I had people asking me what I had done to my face because my face looked smoother and softer. This is truly an amazing skincare product. You know when you have struck gold is when not only you can see a difference in your skin but others can too.

SK-II is the secret to stay looking young #myessence #ski

Staying Dry With Dove

Wednesday, May 4, 2016

I've been using Dove products for so many years. From their soap bars to their hair products. I can honestly say Dove is a brand that I trust and respect. I was over the moon when I was able to test and review the Dove Dry Antiperspirant Spray.


The antiperspirant spray is convenient enough to store in my gym bag for those long intense workouts at the gym. Kept me dry and moisturized through out the day. Feeling refreshed with its cucumber and green tea scent.

With its 48 hour protection against wetness and it's 1/4 moisturizers there was no wonder that my underarms felt soft, smooth and dry for hours.



Dove Antiperspirant Dry Spray is so easy to work with. I gave the bottle a quick shake, held it a couple of inches from my underarm and sprayed. That's all it really takes.

It's easy to use and easy to find at your local CVS pharmacy for just $7.99. A great product at a great price.
