L’Occitane Divine Lotion (6.7 fl. oz. $54.00

IMG_3813

A super-charged toner that combines the unique anti-aging properties of everlasting immortelle flowers with the boosted effectiveness of 7 plant-derived ingredients.  With its rich texture and subtle aromatic scent of fresh immortelle flowers, this softening lotion gives skin an immediate sensation of supreme comfort and leaves it feeling deliciously supple.  Use before applying Divine Extract and Divine Cream.

Directions: Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin patting gently with your fingertips or with a cotton pad, working from the chin to the forehead.

Although it says this is a lotion, this is actually a toner.  I found this to be confusing since technically “lotion” and “toner” are different.  This toner is a milky liquid used after cleansing and before moisturizing your skin.  It was quick to blend into my skin and kept it feeling smooth and hydrated.

L’Occitane Divine Eyes (0.5 fl oz $76.00)

Our divine eyes helps to diminish the signs of aging and enhance the beauty of your eyes better than ever before. This fresh, creamy eye gel helps smooth fine lines and firm the fragile eye area by harnessing the unique anti-aging properties of the everlasting immortelle flower and a new botanitcal booster of 7 plant-derived active ingredients.

Directions: Apply morning and evening.  Gently pat around the eye area, then smooth from the inner corner of the eye outwards.

I know what you are thinking.  Such an expensive price tag for a tiny bottle!  However, I like to think of this as magic in a bottle to negate the steep cost.  I have used different eye creams before that were mediocre compared to this!  This is a must have.  It has brightened and firmed the appearance around my eyes.

For over a month, I have been using the toner and eye cream.  This line has anti-aging benefits, so I am hoping that it will assist in preventing any fine lines and wrinkles forming in the future.  If you don’t mind the pricey cost of these items, I think they are skincare products worth giving a try.

What skincare line do you use?

Ageless Derma Anti Wrinkle Cream Review https://www.dgsbeauty.com/2013/09/24/review-ageless-derma-anti-wrinkle-cream/ https://www.dgsbeauty.com/2013/09/24/review-ageless-derma-anti-wrinkle-cream/#comments Tue, 24 Sep 2013 18:40:09 +0000 https://www.dgsbeauty.com/?p=5410 IMG_3608Ageless Derma is a skincare product aimed to provide effective products that will help clients restore and maintain their youthful appearances.  I was given the opportunity to review the Stem Cell and Peptide Anti-Wrinkle Cream.

As we all know there are numerous skincare products in the market that claims to help your skin.  One thing I like about Ageless Derma is the amount of research they do to ensure we are getting the best product for our skin.

IMG_3611 IMG_3612 IMG_3613

The pump is VERY different from any other skincare products I have used.  But I liked it.  With just two light pumps, I get enough formula I need to put on my face.

IMG_3615

 

As you can see, it is a while formula.  The consistency is very smooth and easy to apply and blend into your skin.  There is a very light scent that I do not notice most of the time.

Directions: Lift off cap, gently press down on white disc to pump.  Apply a small amount of Ageless Derma Anti wrinkle cream to freshly cleaned face mostly on crow feet, between the brows and forehead.  Apply at night and morning.

Overall Review: After a month of testing, I have noticed a subtle reduction in my wrinkles especially on my forehead, between my brows and crow feet as the directions suggested.  I have always hated the wrinkles on my forehead so I am very pleased.  I can guarantee that I will continue using this product in hopes that it work its magic on the remaining wrinkles.  Even if you do not have any wrinkles, I think this product would be great just to maintain your youthful skin.  Also, I want to add that this product has left me with much softer and healthier looking skin.

Leonie Blackhead Removing Peel-off Mask Review https://www.dgsbeauty.com/2013/09/19/review-leonie-blackhead-removing-peel-off-mask/ https://www.dgsbeauty.com/2013/09/19/review-leonie-blackhead-removing-peel-off-mask/#comments Thu, 19 Sep 2013 17:00:16 +0000 https://www.dgsbeauty.com/?p=5049 Leonie is a Canada based skincare products company.  One thing I love about Leonie is that they have products that are high quality, vegan-friendly, and animal-cruelty free.

I now introduce you the Leonie Blackhead Removing Peel-off Mask!

Instructions for use: Wash skin.  Apply an even layer of the mask.  Avoid the eye area, eyebrows, hairline and lips.  When the mask is completely dry, gently remove by lifting the outer edge and peeling towards the center.

I must admit the black liquid was a bit intimidating.  While applying, be very careful not to to get it on your clothing.  However, if you do get some on your clothes, it will come off easily with running water.  Also, if you have a lot of baby hairs like I do, I recommend using a headband so they won’t get in the way.  Once you are done applying the mask, make sure to wash your hands with soap so it will come off your fingers easily.

One thing I did notice right away is upon first application the mask gave my eyes a stinging feel.  Possibly due to the strong formula?  I’m not very sure.  However, that feeling went away once I continued spreading the peel on the rest of my face.

Depending on how thick my mask is, it will take about 20-30 minutes to completely dry.  To speed the process along, sit in front of a fan.  Once the mask is dry, it is fairly easy to peel off in one piece.  Just go slow.

To remove the bits of the mask that were too stubborn to be peeled off, I just rinse my face with water and it will come right off.

Review: Overall, I was very pleased with this mask.  Whiteheads and especially blackheads has always been one of my pet peeves growing up.  Aside from getting professional facials at the spa, I could never seem to get rid of those damn “heads.”  With this mask, it did eliminate majority of my whiteheads and dead skin cells.  As for the blackheads, it removed a few.  That’s something, right?  I also noticed that after using this product, my skin appeared much more smoother and brighter.  I didn’t expect this product (or any other products available in the market) to complete remove blackheads.  But I will continue to use this product see how well my skin reacts to it.

To try this product for yourself, you may find it on Amazon for just $26.00.

What is your favorite peel-off mask?
