PEACEOUT SKINCARE Retinol Eye Stick Review + Results

I am quite sure you have heard about PEACEOUT skincare products and how they are designed to target skincare problems. I shared the Wrinkles patches by PEACEOUT last year and one of my major concerns was the additional indentations the patches would leave on my forehead and also the excessive packaging. I loved the formulation but wished there was more product in the package! So, I decided to try the PEACEOUT Retinol Eye Stick which is packaged like a lip balm and its designed to just swipe in the eye area every night. I am so happy with this product that I wanted to share the results with you today!

ESTEE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex Serum Review

Hello October! 

As you know, October is breast cancer awareness month and this year it is more than a Pink Ribbon - its a movement to unite the global community and honor everyone touched by this disease. It's #TimeToEndBreastCancer and Estee Lauder Companies are pledging to donate up to $100,000 for public, in-feed Instagram or Facebook post during the month of October featuring both hashtags #TimeToEndBreastCancer and #ELCdonates together, because it’s always been more than a ribbon. 

So today I decided to share my favorite skincare product from Estee Lauder which is the Advanced Night Repair Serum. It comes in a luxurious glass bottle and an improved formula that has been tested on all skintypes, all ages and all ethnicities!! Isn't that amazing! The new formula promises to help skin increase its natural cell renewal and production of collagen for firmer skin.

This is the one serum that has always worked for my skin type, which is seldom sensitive, and as the days grow colder and drier, I am relying on the Estee Lauder ANR to keep my skin glowy, bouncy, youthful and completely hydrated. 

More on this amazing serum in today's blog.

CAUDALIE Vinosource Overnight Recovery Oil Review

After a day in the sun, I like to treat my skin with products that allow it it overcome the environmental stressors it endured and rejuvenate for the day ahead. I have always loved Caudalie products, but since my acne got worse, I started using anti-acne products and have been sorely disappointed. So, I am going back to vegan, close to nature skincare products like this Overnight Recovery Oil from Caudalie.

Ever since the lockdown started, my skin was all over the place, mainly due to stress, or just eating too much snacks.. I couldn't really plan out my skincare regimen and just started using olive oil on my skin. It worked nicely but soon I had too many clogged pores.. ouch! 

Yeah..I got clogged pores and I don't even have a facial steamer AND I couldn't go for my facial at the salon!  It was so frustrating and that is when I thought of Caudalie. The clean, vegan formulations that I have always loved. I take the Caudalie travel set whenever I am travelling, so I had the travel size Vinosource moisturizing sorbet in my stash and ordered this Overnight Recovery Oil from Sephora. 

These products work great on all skin types and I am so happy to have Caudalie Vinosource in my regimen again.

PEACE OUT Wrinkles - Anti Wrinkle Microneedling Retinol Patches - Review

Hello there, my friends!

I thought I am going to take a sabbatical in 2020 and just hope to stay alive and meet you all again in 2021 with good health and high spirits. Guess what, we are back at it again. And I am very excited today because I am sharing something which will make all your skin dreams come true! You know you should go for a facial, maybe a mani-pedi, but the fears of COVID-19 are stopping you? Well, here's the good news...these microneedling anti wrinkle patches from Peace Out are the perfect treatment for those in between touchups. For me these patches are a way to prolong my skin's elasticity by injecting hyaluronic acids, retinol and vitamin C so my fine lines do not turn into wrinkles. 

Ok, maybe I need to clear out my skin situation first. I do not currently have deep wrinkles, BUT I have started to notice more lines around my eyes when I smile. They stick around as fine lines for some time before disappearing. This might be considered the first sign that my skin is loosing its elasticity and I am turning 35 this year! There is another line right between my eyebrows which I noticed first about 2 years ago, while I took a selfie under the sun. I initially thought it's because I am squinting under the bright sunlight, but as the months went by that line is settling in. There is an actual line between my eyebrows which is most noticeable when I wake up, it plumps up as the day goes by, but shows up as soon as I step in the sun!!

How annoying is that?!!

Hence, I decided to partake my first 'retinol needling' experience, using a sort of hyped up brand on social media called Peace Out ✌. This is also the first time I tried a wrinkle patch, so do I like it, does it work? I will answer all of that in the post below and will also update here, as the weeks go by. 

Skincare #SephoraHaul and Sephora Tough as Nails Manicure Kit - Review

Hey guys!

This winter is much milder than last years, and though I am not complaining, but it makes me realize how we are slowly becoming part of climate change. I realized that the small samples, that I love to get with my order, add significantly to the landfills, as most are single use items, or are too small to be kept and often gets spoiled lying around in the drawers for years. They fill up my recycle bin with the excess paper packaging and the small plastic containers - well they are just landfill material. I am trying to buy bigger sizes of the products I like but I also love to get the more convenient 50ml size, which I can use for travel as well. It's a tough situation to be in and how I have become entitled to products that serve me, just because I can afford them. It is a time for change in lifestyle and something I will look forward to in 2020.

For now, let's talk about my recent skincare haul. I got these from Sephora as a bare minimum of what I need now, as compared to future. Don't we all buy more, cuz we think we might need it and often forget about using them. So I got the exfoliant, the face washes and the manicure kit that I needed and have started using! Yayy!! Using my purchases is so pleasure-full!!! LOL

DR. DENNIS GROSS SKINCARE Alpha Beta® Extra Strength Daily Peel Review

Its hard for me to waste even a single day of summer time in Calgary, so I am always looking for fun things to do at home and outside. The city looks beautiful in summer time and I can't get enough of all the blooms and greenery all around me. When I moved to Calgary, I would tell my friends that this city looks like a resort - its well kept, with beautiful public spaces and relatively less people to share it with. Having nearly 8 months of winter, I obviously look forward to the summer months but that brings new challenges for skincare - especially sun spots!! And they are so hard to get rid off.

Since I had always been a fan of Dr Dennis Gross's skincare line, I wanted this Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peel to exfoliate my skin and lighten the dark spots. I have a good amount of acne scarring from the past three years that seems to darken a bit more under the sun, so I am on to all kinds of facial peels even lemon juice! 

So, when Sephora Canada offered a box of 3 peels as a 100 point perk, I picked up as many of them as possible. I got over a month's supply of high quality facial peels for free and that is the only reason I save my points at Sephora and spend them at something amazing like this! 

More on this, how to use and the results in today's blog. 

SILK'N Titan Skin Tightening and Lifting Review

I am always excited to see the new technology in beauty and how empowering it is to be able to treat your skin at home with high quality, professional grade products that deliver results. I have been using the Silk'n Titan, from London Drugs, for almost two months and today I am ready to share my thoughts on it.
Silk'n Titan is a smoothing, tightening and lifting device that helps reduce wrinkles and lifts facial contours. It is designed to be used on face and neck and you can even go around your eyes with this device! Silk'n Titan uses a technology that "delivers energy to precise areas beneath the skin to activate your body’s natural restoration process". I was so curious to see this in action because if this device works, that means we can rejuvenate our skin and get our bodies to make the collagen and elastin for us as we age and would never have to worry about sagging or wrinkles. There is no downtime and I could apply makeup and get out of the house right after using it on my face. It sounds like the perfect solution for busy lifestyles and a little bit of treatment, literally 10-15 minutes in two weeks, could change the way my skin ages. 
I am quite happy with it, even though, there wasn't much of a drastic difference I could feel but then, I do not have deeper wrinkles and the fine lines around my eyes are not are troublesome at this point, but I could definitely use it to prevent sagging. My mom has no wrinkles but her skin is sagging. She maintains a strict no chemicals/toxin skin care routine, but looking at her, I can imagine that I may have more sagging issues than wrinkling. I have already started to notice my jaw line changing in appearance! 
More on how to use the Silk'n Titan, what to expect and what this new technology in at home beauty tools is all about, on today's blog!

NEOSTRATA Acne Clear, Glycolic Renewal Body Smoothing Lotion and Smoothing Cream Review

This year started with a bunch of new skincare products in my routine and today I am sharing my day cream, acne treatment and a glycolic body lotion that have helped me achieve beautifully smooth skin. My skin is used to AHA products, but I've never used a body lotion that contains 10% glycolic acid and I seriously regret not giving the same attention to the rest of my body as my face. Winters are brutal on my skin and with these treatments, my skin looks smoother, shinier, and I have less things to worry about. The most remarkable difference is the pores! My pores look diminished and my complexion looks brighter. I am also using a wonderful sleep mask from La Prairie that is working well for the night and these are the products I am using on my skin for the day. I like to use acne treatment at night time, but it can be used day or night. 

So here is my daily skincare routine (well, sort of..wait for my mask, toner and beauty tools review - coming soon).

ALUMIERMD AluminEye Brightening Eye Cream Review

The sun is out and I am spending every single second to soak in as much as I can. Summers are too short here, so I always plan a ton of things to fully enjoy this beautiful season. My favorite thing is to spend time in my garden, care for my plants and watch them bloom. I enjoy the greenery and try to make as many memories in my backyard with friends and family. The Calgary Stampede is going on and guess what, Justin Trudeau will be visiting on Saturday (yahoo!!). I love the festive vibes, the fireworks, the rides and the food! It makes summer time so much more fun.

And those tan lines are a reminder of all the fun I had in the sun, but the lines under my eye are so not cool. Of course, I always wear sun screen and sun hat but the eye situation keeps bothering me everyday.  I am always searching for eye products that hydrate, brighten and blur the fine lines under my eyes. Honestly, if my eyes look brighter, I feel fresher and I look 10 years younger too! So I decided to try out the cult favorite AlumierMD's AluminEye which is now available in this new pump packaging. Its a brightening eye cream that is loaded with vitamins and highest quality medical grade ingredients.

ESTEE LAUDER Revitalizing Supreme+ Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Eye Gelée - Review and Swatch

For the past couple of months I have been using the Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Eye Gelee on my under eye area and I felt today was the day to share the results of this new product with you all. Let me start with explaining my eye situation. I have fine lines and dark circles ever since my second child was born. Its been 4 years and those dark circles are not giving up! I've tried a slew of products to get rid of them and some products worked but my favorite is my under eye concealer :D

You guys know that is a quick fix for hiding any imperfections but overtime the desire to keep my eye area nourished and younger looking escalated many folds. Eyes show the signs of aging before any other area on the face and I needed a great product to make my eyes look fresher and younger.

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Eye Gelee is a multi-action, fatigue-fighting eye treatment that helps eye skin look and feel firmer, radiant and deeply nourished. That is all I ever want from my eye treatment and what makes it even better is that it works to improve skin's visible firmness, reduces the look of lines, wrinkles and puffiness, and brightens the look of dark circles.
Did this work for me? Lets find out.

ESTEE LAUDER Advanced Night Repair Recovery Mask-In-Oil Review

I am slowly getting used to the morning glow that is noticeable enough for my personal trainer to comment that my skin "looks good". May be she assumed its due to her workout recommendations, but I know its all because of this little bottle of beauty oil that I have been using for six weeks! Gym is the only place where I rush for in the morning (without any makeup) and every time I look at my face while training, I am happily surprised at the dewy look, which is totally due a healthier skin and I have to give all the credit to this product.
Today I am sharing a very special product that helped my skin in more ways than I expected. It's the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Recovery Mask-In-Oil.

LA PRAIRIE Skin Caviar Luxe Cream Sheer Review

Jouviance Restructiv SRD Collagen Boost Review and Photos

I know what you are thinking. A wrinkle filler for me?! I am definitely not in the age group this product is designed for, however, I find this to be extremely beneficial for quenching my dry and thirsty skin type.
Jouviance Restructiv SRD is a serum concentrate that promises to give the same skin plumping effect as a hyaluronic acid injection and the results can be felt in just 2 weeks.
For me, I felt my skin felt and looked much hydrated after one day! And it did not cause any other reactions, like clogged pores, redness or the dreadful acne. That is the reason why I tried to get over my busy life and re-enter the world of blogging with a killer product. (Yea, I did not blog for 3 months, u get it, dont you?)

Serious Skincare LUSTER Face and Neck Polish Review

Today, lets talk about Luster - a face and neck polish from Serious Skincare.  Its described as a unique exfoliant that can be used daily and is suitable for delicate areas where the skin is thinner - like the neck area. It promises to give a healthy looking, youthful glow.
Without exaggeration, this treatment has been a life saver for me because my skin got so sensitive and flaky this winter, that I decided to stop using all the skincare products and do a complete skincare overhaul, with gentle and suitable for sensitive skin products. Luster has truly been a keeper.
