OBAGI Medical Review

OBAGI Medical Review

"Have you ever heard of a circadian rhythm? It’s the physical, mental and behavioral changes in your body that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, such as your sleeping schedule.1 What you may not realize is that many of your skin functions also follow a circadian rhythm. While you may begin to unwind in the evening, your skin is hard at work and actually increases its renewal and metabolic functions at night.

Consider these cycles in your skin’s functions that may influence its texture, radiance, and overall appearance

• Cell proliferation peaks at midnight, and is lowest at noon
• Blood flow is 25% lower at night
• Oil production by skin glands is higher midday at noon
• Skin pH is more acidic during sleep

You can dream easy tonight knowing that Obagi is launching a new product engineered to complement your skin’s natural nightly functions. We are thrilled to introduce Obagi Hydrate Luxe to our family of products! Just as the name suggests, this luxuriously rich face cream is extra-moisturizing and contains ingredients to keep your skin looking and feeling supple and firm. In fact, in a 2013 consumer survey, a majority of those who tried Hydrate Luxe saw improvements in the appearance of fine lines, firmness, skin texture, skin radiance, and hydration.

Packed with many of the same great natural ingredients as our Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, like shea butter, mango butter, and avocado, Hydrate Luxe also contains additional powerful ingredients engineered to work with the chronobiology of the skin and to provide ultra-rich moisturization including:

Biomimetic peptides. A technology that complements your skin’s nightly renewal and metabolic functions to support the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in mature skin.

Hydromanil. A key ingredient in our Hydrate Facial Moisturizer, this technologically advanced ingredient provides not only immediate moisturization, but gradual moisture delivery by retaining water in the layers of your skin and continuously releasing them for 8-hour moisture protection!"-OBAGI

How it works?

Obagi Hydrate Facial Moisturizer contains innovative Hydromanil, which has been clinically proven to improve the moisture content of the skin.1

Hydromanil, a moisturizer naturally derived from tara seed, delivers 2-in-1 moisturizing action1,2:

Immediate moisturization ─ reduces water loss and holds water on the surface of your skin

Gradual moisture delivery ─ retains water and continuously releases active moisturizing compounds within the skin

I've been using the OBAGI Hydrate Luxe and I've been loving it. It's hard for me to find a cream that hydrates my face. I have such a dry face while being on chemo. You don't feel as beautiful when you do your make-up and have all kinds of dry skin flaking off. I've been using the Hydrate Luxe in combination with one of my serums and both work like a dream together. The OBAGI Hydrate Luxe is a thicker cream. What I like about it though is that it sinks in fairly quickly and leaves your face supple. It just brings out a natural glow to the skin and the best part NO MORE FLAKES!

"If you want your skin to look its best, be sure you’re giving it the best. Our goal at Obagi is to offer you skin care products that leave you with healthy and beautiful skin and a glowing confidence to match. Among our latest developments, we are thrilled to announce the expansion one of your favorite Obagi product lines, Obagi Professional-C, which now includes 3 exciting new products! 

Vitamin C is often acclaimed for its ability to defend your skin against visible signs of aging caused by environmental factors. If you’re looking to calm inflammation1, brighten skin2, retain moisture3, enhance UV protection1 or complement your skin’s collagen synthesis1, Vitamin C may be able to help you achieve these goals. 

As the key ingredient in our Professional-C skin care line, Vitamin C can now also be found in these three new additions:

Professional-C Suncare SPF 30

As the perfect addition to any daily skin care regimen, Obagi’s newest dual-function product combines broad-spectrum SPF 30 in a 10% L-ascorbic acid formulation for a cosmetically elegant lotion that feels luxurious when it is applied. Benefits include:

Broad-spectrum SPF 30 protects against skin-damaging UVA and UVB rays

10% L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) helps combat the visible signs of skin aging 

Professional-C Peptide Complex and Professional-C Eye Brightener

In addition to Vitamin C, these highly effective skin care products offer the ingredients kinetin and zeatin, which are plant sourced, DNA- and RNA-derived natural growth factors.

Professional-C Peptide Complex features SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide) which is clinically shown to reduce the apparent depth of winkles by 35%. In addition, the Professional-C Peptide Complex can help to minimize the visible signs of skin aging while promoting a healthy, youthful glow and improving firmness, tone and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.  

Professional-C Eye Brightener improves the appearance of crepiness and crow’s feet as it helps to strengthen the delicate skin around your eyes. This eye brightener also features Soft Focus Technology, which instantly creates an optical diffusion of reflected light to blur the appearance of fine lines and shadows."-OBAGI

I got to try the OBAGI Professionl-C Suncare SPF30 who doesn't need sunscreen? I know I do. As someone who is pale and it's partially due to my Leukemia and my Irish/Scottish side of my family. Anytime you have a cancer or even if you don't you want to always protect your skin! With the OBAGI Profession-C Suncare SPF30 I feel like I'm getting what I need although this sunscreen doesn't leave that awful white residue on your skin. It's more like a moisturizer. A little goes a long way and I haven't noticed that I've gotten burnt lately while out in the sun. My skin feels moisturized and I feel like I'm getting the protection that I need. I do reapply because when you are applying an SPF the number after the SPF say SPF30 means you are only protected for 30 minutes and then you'll need to reapply for a better protection. So the higher the SPF the higher the protection. I'm really thrilled with OBAGI I think they're line that I've at least have got to try has been great especially the moisturizer. I would love to try more from their line. I had never heard of OBAGI before, but now they are a staple in my skincare regimen. I will definitely repurchase the moisturizer.

Here is what both look like on the skin

The OBAGI Hydrate Luxe on the left & OBAGI Professional-C Suncare SPF30 on the right. As you can see they do want to blend right in with the skin.

Renuzit Pearl Scents Review + Giveaway!

Renuzit Pearl Scents Review + Giveaway!

Sparkling Rain aka After The Rain

"Ever head outdoors after a cool rain shower? Or opened the windows wide and let in the cool breeze? After the Rain® captures this fresh, unique scent. Rain-touched florals and sparkling citrus work together to create a tranquil retreat in your home."

Refresh your home with Renuzit Pearl Scents!

Give your home another depth of beauty with the pleasing aromas of Renuzit Pearl Scents. The new look was designed to accent and highlight your home decor as well as provide long-lasting freshness.

Renuzit Pearl Scents are now available in these aromas:

• Pure Breeze
• After The Rain
• Tranquil
• Serenity
• Seductive Pineapple
• 
  

Each jar lasts up to 30 days! An entire month of an amazing scent as well as freshness.

Take the Renuzit PEARLsonality Quiz to find your perfect scent and a $2 off coupon as well! A very good coupon.

Here's what I got on my quiz "Tranquil"!

I received the scent in "Sparkling Rain" which I don't see that scent on the website so I'm assuming it's now known as "After The Rain". It came in nice chic packaging. You open up the top - peal off the seal and let the freshness begin! The jar is clear with a grey laser cut top that's very beautifully made. It's new design is made with the concept that you can pair it with any decor in your home and you can. You can even peal the sticker off to even make it appear more self-made, but it will be your little secret. The inside is filled with little pearl balls that release such a fresh scent or at least the "After The Rain" scent does. The scent is fresh, floral, and gives off that freshly mowed grass and rain scent. The pearls are green in my jar, but with the other scents they're other colors to each fragrance. I've used the original Renuzit's in the past and to be honest they never really lasted very long and the jelly in them would go down quickly. I also didn't feel as though the fragrance filled the room. That is not the case with these. These fill our whole living-room space easily without having to use any other plugins or warmers although we still use those - these are a great add-on.

New Floss Picks from DenTek!

New Floss Picks from DenTek

DenTek Floss Picks + Case ($1.50 for 2ct and $2.50 for 4ct; Mass Market Retailers) Perfect for storing the floss picks in your favorite clutch, backpack, or briefcase, the DenTek Floss Picks + Case keeps floss picks handy for last minute touch-ups to keep your pearly whites looking perfect all day long! Stow floss picks effortlessly to ensure you keep your mouth healthy and fresh on-the-go! Choose from blue, pink, purple, orange or green.

Whiten Teeth While You Floss with DenTek Fresh & White Silky Whitening Floss Picks! (Average retail price: $2.47; Walmart)

The FIRST and ONLY floss picks on the market that provide advanced whitening with micro-crystals, to polish away food and plaque and promote a whiter, brighter smile! They feature Gentle Silk Floss for easy cleaning between tight teeth and have a built-in tongue cleaner to keep breath fresh. 

 Everyone knows they need to floss, but sometimes in this busy world we forget. When we forget such an important thing as to flossing we risk losing our teeth. Something we should hold precious. Now I used to brush my teeth and floss when I was younger, but as I got older into my teen years I stopped flossing and only brushed and that led to me getting cavities. That's why I love the new DenTek floss picks with the cases. I can put them in my purse and after I eat I can floss. I used them up pretty quickly and then I placed the DenTek Fresh & White Silky Whitening Floss Picks in my cases. I like whitening my teeth, but I don't like anything too harsh. When you whiten your teeth with any products you use it's hard to get into the corners of your teeth to whiten them and these floss sticks give you that extra boost to make your smile shine!

Carefree Influenster Voxbox Review

Carefree Influenster Voxbox

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin liners are designed to deliver freshness, thanks to an 8-hour odor control system.

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® Thin liners feel as soft and thin as a panty, so all you feel is confident.

Exceptional Construction

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® liners are super-absorbent to lock fluid away. Our process results in a thin, absorbent liner that feels as soft as your panties. The fibers in each CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® liner’s cover are bonded together to give you a soft, cotton-like* feel that moves with you.

*Product does not contain cotton

Super Thin and Absorbent

CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® liners do a great job of keeping you fresh, confident and comfortable.

8-hour Odor Control System

Peace of mind is built into every CAREFREE® ACTI-FRESH® liner. Our unique odor control system gives you that extra boost of confidence when you need it.

My thoughts: I've been using carefree since I started my monthly girly time. My Mom bought me these to start out with in between times and I've used them ever since. I was 12 years old and am now 25 so that's many years with Carefree. I've always used the Carefree Originals, but now I've gotten the chance from Influenster to try the Carefree Acti-Fresh Liners and they are just as good as the originals. They are light and you feel like you are wearing nothing which I like. Who wants to walk around feeling like you've got a lump of something in your undergarments. No one. That's who. These are based around the fact that you can be more active without having to feel like you are wearing something heavy and they truly feel that way. If you are new to the pad/paniliner world definitely try CAREFREE! #FRESHISFIERCE

Flavors I Received From PB Crave

Razzle Dazzle: A twisted blend of red raspberry, wild honey, cool white chocolate and rich dreamy darkness - this peanut butter offers a magical mix of deliciousness.

My opinion: I honestly thought this one would be the one I wouldn't like, but I was wrong it turned out to be my favorite! It tastes so natural, but in a good way and it's like everything that's placed in it is super fresh - like wild raspberries which you can tastes hints of with the chocolate. It's so good!

Choco, Choco: A delicious double dose of semi-sweet and rich dark chocolate with premium peanut butter and wild honey - it's decadence and delight in every bite.

My opinion: It's more of a chocolatey taste mixed with peanut butter, but with a creamy texture of the mix it's blended to not be too much on both notes. It's like my midnight chocolate fix!

Cookie Nookie: A mouth-watering mix of chocolate chips, cookie dough flavor, wild honey, and premium peanut butter - it's two classics together as one!

My opinion: You can taste the chocolate chips and the cookie dough clearly and if you've ever snuck and pinched your Mom's cookie dough while she was baking you know it's delicious! I love the way this tastes it's like having chocolate chip peanut butter cookies.

CoCo Bananas: A tropical blend of yummy bananas, cocoa and wild honey, this peanut butter adds a taste of island paradise to any kitchen.

My opinion: I heard years ago about people putting slices of bananas on their bread with peanut butter and I thought 'GROSS', but it's actually really good. You don't have to go through the steps with this peanut butter you can just add it to your bread.. I just ate me a sandwich about a half hour ago and it was so good. I had a major sweet tooth with a craving of fruit so I thought why not? This fit the craving and satisfied me!

I think putting these combinations together in PB Crave's peanut butter is awesome. I love the unique flavors and how they taste. I would buy these over and over again.They don't taste generic, but taste completely natural as stated and it's like the CoCo Banana it tastes like fresh bananas have been mixed into the peanut butter.. like you would have done yourself. All of the flavors are like this and that just amazes me on the quality! My family thought some would taste odd, but when they tried it they really enjoyed making sandwiches out of them because they were surprised by how good they are. Not only that, but PB donates 2% of each jar they sell to their Charity they are funding and I always have major respect for companies who pitch in and want a CHANGE!

Dermasome Gold from Angellift

Dermasome Gold from Angellift

Dermasome Gold is made up of 24K gold and contains highest injectable-grade hydration lifting ingredients and epidermal growth factors. This lifts the skin which makes it look firm and younger.

The anti-aging proof is in the results. Restore the look of youthful firmness. Dual-action Dermasome Gold contains the highest-grade epidermal growth factors and injectable-grade lifting ingredients to provide a dramatically younger, lifted look. In clinical testing, 96% of women agreed the serum improved the look of sagging skin; 93% saw a visible lifting effect. Real 24K gold in the serum gives skin a visibly radiant, smoother look. 1 oz. Lift and firm your skin to recapture a more youthful look. Directions: Mix moisturizing gel and botanical ball contents in your hand and apply over the face and neck are where aging lines are present. Use morning and night along or under makeup.

BENEFITS:

Contains natural ingredients.

Does not contain preservatives.

Moisturizes the skin.

Uses breakthrough skincare technology.

First of all can we talk about this bottle! It's so cool looking with it's twisted gold rings. It's beautiful. I've tried Dermasome Gold for about 2 weeks now mixed with my moisturizer and I love it when mixed together. Alone I don't feel as though it gives me enough moisture, but with my moisturizer it's amazing. The consistency is very liquid like. It's not so liquidy that it drips or falls out of the package, but it's like a liquid gel. It's very soothing on the skin. When applied it feels very cool and relaxing. I've noticed that it does make my face feel tightened. Not dry, but it feels as though it tightens up the skin. I just think this is a type of product that has to be mixed with something because if you are like me with combination skin I don't think it will be enough to moisturize your face and keep the flakes away. Mixing it with my Benefit Total Moisture and another moisturizer I'm currently trying out it changes the way the products work. I use thick creams which can be annoying so using this with the creams thin them out and also packs an extra punch of moisture into the skin. It helps my creams sink into the skin easier. Angellift has come up with so many other different products.

Review: I've been in need of an audio cable to use with my mPULSE speaker & to also use while in the car with my radio. I received the Sentey Premium Audio Cable to use and so far I've never found any cable this good. It came in packaged well. When I opened it up it was in a little white bag. When I took it out to examine it was very sturdy. It was braided like it claimed in a rope like material, but very strong. The two male ends were also made very well. I don't see this cable falling apart any time soon. I've hooked it into my speaker and I was worried that it wouldn't work, but it sure did fantastically. I've also used it to hook into my phone to hook into the radio of my Mom's blazer when we are out and I want to listen to my radio. It works so that I can play my music and we can listen to whatever we want instead of the boring radio with commercials. These are used for Smartphones, Tablets, MP3 Players, AUX in line/out line, and more! They are so confident about this cable that Sentey offers a %100 money back guarantee if it doesn't work. I like when companies do this because they have faith in their product, but also offer you the satisfaction of covering the costs if it for some reason doesn't work. I don't think anyone will have any problems because this cable is such high quality. I definitely would recommend if you are looking for a cable like this. If you would like to purchase click HERE.

LensCircle Contacts Review

LENSCIRCLE CONTACTS REVIEW

Circle Lenses are special extra-wide cosmetic contact lenses which make the eye appear larger. Circle lenses are different from normal color contact lenses because normal color lenses are only tinted in the areas that cover the eyes iris, while circle lenses have an extra dark colored tint around the outer ring of the lens (The outer ring is transparent in normal color lenses). Circle lenses have gained tremendous popularity in Asia.

World Series "GREEN"

A beautiful blend of three unique tones of Green in one lens to create a subtle, natural looking eye.

Price 

$34.94

WORLD SERIES CIRCLE CONTACT LENS (3-TONE)

Item Code: CM903Green Color ContactsIncluded (4 Items):

I received mine in World Series "Green" because they are the most natural of the series on LensCircle. I have Hazel eyes naturally and the green just brought out the green I sometimes have in my eyes depending on what day. They came off as a darker green in my eyes and made my eyes look wider and brighter. It's very natural looking as I will show you below. They come with a pair of contacts (2) Lenses, 1 Lens care card, 1 Free lens case and a gift bag to carry them in. I got mine with no prescription because I wear glasses and I wanted to just bring out my eye color a little bit more with a hint more of a dash of green. I love the carrying case (not pictured) that it comes with. It's leopard print. The Lens case is also nice because you can just pop both in your purse and they won't get damaged or dirty. I took mine out of the package. They come in 2 little vials and I soaked mine in contact solution all night before placing them in my eyes. I've always heard that's the best thing to do when ordering any contacts online. You don't want to take them directly out of the vials and place them into your eyes. You definitely want to soak them over night in your own personal solution so that they may be fully clean before placing in your eyes. The contacts were thin, but not so thin that they would tear on you. I actually prefer a thinner contact so that they fit nicely onto your eyes. I got a lot of compliments from family who normally don't see me in contacts that they love the color. I think the price range is good for the contacts - the price stays the same even if you get them in prescription. All you have to pay is shipping which I do believe in the US is $4.99, but may vary where you live. All in all I'm pleased with my new contacts!
