VBeam Laser Session 3
I had my 3rd VBeam laser session last week and I wanted to give you a brief update! So after my 2nd session I had some swelling and a very dark bruise. My doctor said she had increased the setting of the laser, so knowing this when I went for the 3rd session I told the nurse about what had happened last time. She said it was good that I let them know so they can adjust accordingly. She told me that a lot of times they do the 1st session on the standard setting and if that goes well they sometimes increase the power for the 2nd session, but…

Tula Brightening Eye Balm
For months and months I’ve seen people on social media rave about Tula’s Brightening Eye Balm. Maybe you have too. So I really wanted to see if it was worth the hype especially because my eyes are always tired looking when I’m back at work for the school year. However, this eye balm stick is so popular that it is often out of stock! So I waited for a while to get it. Of course, right when I got it Tula launched their new Rose Glow version of the eye balm! So is it worth all the fuss? I like the balm and I enjoy the feeling of it, but I…

Skinfix Barrier+ Lipid Boost Jelly
I love trying out all kinds of face serums. I may or may not stockpile them and enjoy finishing one so I can break open a new one that I’ve either bought or have been generously sent. Skinfix’s Barrier+ Lipid + Hyaluronate Serum or Lipid Boost Jelly as it’s also called on the bottle is one that I was sent. First off, I love the sturdy packaging and bright blue color of this line. The top comes off and I just do one pump to apply all over my face. Here is how it is described: A super-concentrated cream-jelly that delivers potent actives in a surge of moisture to hydrate,…

Estée Lauder -Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Créme
Yes, this moisturizer is called “créme” because we’re fancy. Just kidding, I’m not that fancy, but Estée Lauder is a high end brand so let’s pretend! Plus, the price tag on this créme will make you feel fancy. I was lucky enough to be sent a sample size to try out and I’ve been using it for a week now to see if I thought it was worth the price of a full size ($55 for 1 oz. and $85 for 1.7 oz). Keep reading for my thoughts! First, let’s go over the facts. Here is how the brand describes the moisturizer: “Featuring an exclusive RevitaKey™ technology with exclusive moringa…

Laser Session 1
A few days ago I underwent my first laser treatment. If you follow my Instagram Stories then you may have heard me talk about it both before and after the session. Due to a few annoying breakouts over the years, I have slowly accumulated a few acne scars on my cheeks. They are decently covered up by makeup, but unless I really want to pile it on they’re still faintly visible. If I’m not wearing makeup they’re noticeable. So after a year of thinking about it I decided to go for a consultation at a medical spa – Reflections Center for Skin & Body – recommended to me by my dermatologist.…

Skinfix: Calm & Rejuvenate Eye Cream
If you’ve been following me for a while then you know I love trying new skincare products. I’ve written about a number of products from Skinfix over the years and they were kind enough to send me an eye cream. They sent this to me a while ago but I’ve been trying to use up some other eye creams I had open. But now I’ve been using the Calm & Rejuvenate Eye Cream for the past few weeks and I love how creamy it is. Well, it’s creamy, but doesn’t feel oily or greasy under my eyes and sinks in pretty quickly so you don’t need to worry about how it will…

Here’s How my Skin Turned Out After Using Kedma’s Day Cream

Fresh – Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash
I’ve been trying a lot of exfoliating products lately, and that’s fine with me because I need to slough off some of this winter dullness! I was excited to receive this new Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash from Fresh to try out. They also sent me their popular Soy Face Cleanser, which I have used before and loved. Fruit scented things always make me wary because they can oftentimes be way too sweet smelling. I’m happy to say that this Strawberry Exfoliating Face Wash is not too sweet smelling at all. The face wash is a brown-ish color and when you start massaging it on your face it is gritty. A very…
