One of my favorite skin care brands is Fresh. So, when they reached out to let me know about their new Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence, I knew I needed to test it out! This fabulous facial treatment provides anti-pollution and antioxidant protection, enhances skin luminosity, reduces the look of fine lines, refines the look of pores, improves elasticity, smooths skin texture, boots skin’s healthy tone, and provides 24-hour moisture. Love!

The Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence is an important step in your skin care routine. It is ideal to use after washing your face, and before applying face cream. It is a great protector against pollution which is a huge threat to aging.

My skin tends to be sensitive, and the Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence is gentle on my skin. It’s a fast-absorbing liquid formula which I leave on after washing my face. It preps my skin for my face cream, and it’s gentle enough to use twice a day. Love that!

You might be wondering, what is Kombucha? It is a fermented sweet black tea which is rich in vitamins and organic acids produced through the fermentation process. The Kombucha Fresh uses in their products has an unique composition that gives it powerful properties which protect skin from pollution, and free radicals.

Did you know pollution ages you? It happens to be one of the biggest threats to our skin; especially if you live in an urban area or an area famous for poor air quality. Air polkutants such as smoke, and smog, can cause oxidative stress that accelerates signs of aging. The new Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence is formulated to protect skin from pollution and help prevent premature fine lines.

I love how the Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence by Fresh makes my skin feel after washing my face. It helps my face cream absorb into my skin, which is what we want right? I mean, think about how much we pay for our skin cream! It’s nice to know that Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence helps our skin absorb that expensive cream while protecting skin from pollutants. Love that!

I’m excited to add Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Essence to my twice-daily skin care routine. You can find it online here.

VII Code O2M oxygen eye mask for all night review

I’m in New York! The night before I fly, I can’t get a wink of sleep. Then I get on a plane, and I can’t get a wink of sleep on the plane! My flight to New York was a five hour plane ride, and without sleep, I was exhausted. One of the drawbacks to lack of sleep, and exhaustion, is puffy eyes accompanied by dark circles. Ugh!

My favorite way to combat tired, puffy eyes, and dark circles, while fighting fine lines, is to wear an eye mask. I have tried several eye masks, and none of them seem to work. When VII Code sent me their eye mask to try, I was hooked! It actually reduced my puffy eyes, and dark circles! My skin looks smoother too. Love that!

The VII Code overnight eye mask is really easy to use. The mask uses pads instead of being in a jar you have to stick your finger into in order apply. The pads are packaged in convenient trays which keep them nice, flat, and ready to use. After you wash your face, you simply take the pads from the tray, peel off the protective plastic, and apply. It’s so easy! They feel cold when you first apply them, and then the pads feel comfortable and are easy to wear. I’m hooked!

VIIcode eye mask is different from other sheet masks, you can wear them for 8 hours at night. The best time to wear them is while you are sleeping. I wore them overnight the first night in my hotel and my eyes loved it!

This overnight eye mask by VII Code is a must-have for travel. It fixed my tired, sleep-deprived eyes and refreshed me for the morning. Now, I am ready to take on New York!

You can find the VII Code O2M oxygen eye mask, which you can wear overnight, online here.

Did you know bareMinerals made skin care? I had no idea. I always thought they were all about mineral makeup! I was thrilled when bareMinerals reached out and sent me samples of their newest skin care collection to test out. The new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection aims to soften skin while fighting visible signs of aging. Love this!

The bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection contains Vitamin A and botanical extracts which promise to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and expression lines, smooth texture, and improve firmness and elasticity.

Although I am over forty, I don’t consider my neck to show signs of aging. (maybe I live in a dream-world?) So when I tested out the neck cream, I was happy with the soft, and moisturized effect the cream left without leaving a greasy film, or clogging my pores. My neck is happy!

Now when it comes to my eyes. . .there are quite a few lines from all of the laughing and smiling I have done in my life. I’m not sure why people call these lines crows-feet; they really are happy lines! The bareMinerals Ageless Genius eye cream is doing a great job adding moisture without clogging pores around my eye area. This cream does a great job reducing puffiness, and dark circles under my eyes; which I have had quite a bit of lately due to my current battle with Influenza.

All in all, the new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection does a great job protecting skin from aging, and leaving it soft. I am a huge fan!

The new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection is fabulous for fighting the aging process. You can find the collection online here.
