Skincare Review | SK-II

 Hello my loves!

I recently did an unboxing of some SK-II products that I received for review courtesy of BzzAgent (click here) and now I'm back to do my full review and final thoughts of the products I received. I have used these products for a total of 7 days now and I'm excited to share my thoughts with you all.

I received the following in my kit: 1 fl oz bottle of the Facial Treatment Essence, 1 full size of the Facial Treatment Mask and a 0.51 oz container of the Essential Power Cream. The mask was great for one use. The Facial Treatment Essence has enough product to last me another 4 or 5 days. The Essential Power Cream should last me another 2-3 weeks depending on how I use it; either once or twice daily.

When I first received these products I was totally ecstatic about it because I've been dying to try some SK-II skincare products. I have heard so many great things about this brand and I'm a sucker for great skincare products.

Before I began into my thoughts on each of the products I want to share some quick information on the brands essential ingredient:

It all began with a stunning realization at a sake brewery in Japan. Over a decade of exhaustive research later, SK-II discovered Pitera™ — the secret to crystal clear skin 

This miracle ingredient is at the core of the revolutionary products SK-II offers. SK-II Facial Treatment Essence is a liquid concentrate with 90% Pitera™ in every bottle. SK-II Facial Treatment Masks deliver an indulgent concentration of Pitera™ in a single application. SK-II Essential Power Cream contains Stem-Acanax and Pitera™ to radically improve firmness and reduce wrinkles. Your future isn’t limited by your DNA. With the right regimen, you can change your skin’s destiny. 

I must say that I am absolutely obsessed with their products. I cannot explain how much joy these products bring me. The results where quick, my skin feels hydrated and it's just a match made in heaven.
I have used these products for a week with having a dry patch on my face due to an insect bite and this not only added extreme hydrating which stopped the dryness, but also healed the mark unbelievably!

Keep in mind: I have only been using these products once a day in the morning, but it is recommended to use them twice daily. If I was using these products as instructed I am pretty sure the results would be even more outstanding.

Facial Treatment Mask

The first product I tried out was this mask and I will say I was completely iffy about trying this out because I have never tried a cloth mask before. I'm more of a clay or gel mask kind of girl. I, however, was completely stunned with how well this felt after getting adjusted to the cloth on my face.

This is a luxurious facial mask with an indulgent concentration of Pitera in a single application. Your skin is immediately and exceptionally immersed in moisturization, resulting in a visibly radiant and crystal clear complexion.

BzzAgent Unboxing | SK-II Products

Hello my loves,

Today is a great day! I am sharing with you all my unboxing of some SK-II products I received thanks to BzzAgent. I have been eyeing SK-II products for a very long time, but their prices had me double guessing the products. I am so glad they had this campaign with BzzAgent because now I can try them out and give you all my thoughts and feelings on these products.

Disclosure:

I received these products free from BzzAgent in exchange for a review. I am not being compensated for my thoughts and opinions. They are all my own.

I have never been so excited to unbox skincare products in my life before, but this has definitely filled that spot. These SK-II products are trial size products that will last about 3-6 weeks depending on how sparingly and how often you use them.

The products in this box are as follows:

Skincare Review | Mary Kay TimeWise Miracle Set

Hello my loves,

I'm bringing you all a new feature that I want to do every Friday which is focused around skincare and body care products. As much as I love makeup I am a huge believer that a cleansed canvas (skin) is ten times better than piling on tons of makeup.

Today's post is a review on some new skincare products that I am absolutely obsessed with! I've always been a drugstore kind of girl until I found out that Avon products were good and then when I worked for Lancôme I became obsessed with their skincare products. Now my skincare collection is full of drugstore, Avon and Lancôme.

Lately, however I've been loving Mary Kay skincare products once I became a rep. For some reason I've never paid any attention to Mary Kay products because I always had this misconception that MK products were for more mature people. Boy was I wrong.

In lieu of my new found love for Mary Kay products I will be reviewing their TimeWise Miracle Set. I have been using this since the end of April and I must say this stuff is absolutely amazing!

The TimeWise Miracle Set comes in two formulations: Combination Oily and Normal to Dry. I personally use the Normal to Dry formulation. The set comes with 4 products: 3-in-1 cleanser, Age-fighting moisturizer, day solution with SPF 35 and a night solution.

The TimeWise Miracle Set provides age-fighting results to help maintain younger-looking skin. It's a four product regimen that delivers 11 age-defying benefits: cleanse, exfoliate, freshen, energize, hydrate, smooth, visibly firm, soften, protect, renew and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This product also works for those with sensitive skin and rosacea -- keep in mind, it's not a cure for nor does it treat rosacea, but it’s a regimen that is great for those with it.

For a retail price of $95.00 you can't beat such an amazing product!

Tutorial | Matte Eyes & Red Lip

Hello my loves,

Today I have a quick tutorial for you all. I wanted to create a look that was completely matte on the eyes with a bold red lip. I decided I want to use one eyeshadow palette instead of multiple palettes. For this look, I thought the Urban Decay Naked Basics palette would work out phenomenal and it did. The eyes are subtle and the lips are the focus.

Even though I wanted my eyes matte, I still wanted to play up the face with a flawless, clean glow and I decided to go all out with highlighting the cheeks. This look is perfect for every day wear, for work or even an evening out. Of course you can always deepen the eyes with a black eyeshadow or change up the lip to whatever color suits you best.

Overall, this look is created for everyone looking for a quick look that looks like a lot of effort was put into it. Hope you all enjoy this look!
