Nude ProGenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil Review

ProGenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil is an ultra-sheer, skin-saving oil that revives and smoothes skin texture with powerful antioxidant protection. ProGenius Omega Treatment Rescue Oil is all-natural, vegan, and made of Bakuchiol, coleus, rosemary and thyme extracts, and rose hip seed oil.

I have been using NUDE skincare products for years now and they have never failed me. Needless to say, I was ecstatic at the chance to try the ProGenius rescue oil. I've done my research and the heard stories of it reducing fine lines and brightening the skin. I've only began using it for a week, but the result has been instantaneous. My skin has been especially dry during these winter months with cold weather and harsh heaters. The oil almost immediately absorbs into my skin. I see my under eye looking brighter as soon as I massage it on. I'm supposed to use just two drops, but I greedily use a few more to lather throughout my face and lips.

It helps repair and refine texture for satin, flawless skin. Purifying coleus root and organic rosemary extracts work to clarify the complexion and antioxidant-rich ingredients provide environmental protection, making this a true lifesaver for your skin.[/caption]

Brighten Naturally: Farmaesthetics Sweet Milk Facial Exfoliate

Bright, luminescent, and balanced complexion is difficult to achieve as one gets older. Some products brighten and the sacrifice of reducing moisture or causing breakouts. Personally, I am always on the lookout for skincare products that help achieve a youthful and radiant look whilst being gentle on my skin. Recently, I've found this gentle luxury in the Famaesthetics Sweet Milk Facial Exfoliate.

When mixed with the Fine Herbal Cleanser, this herbal exfoliate promises to make a creamy, freshly fragrant lather that is easily applied, to remove tired skin cells. Gentle enough to use in daily cleansing, or apply weekly as a mask to further the effects of the milk's natural lactic acid to soften, brighten and revive the complexion.

I only had the exfoliate to work with, but I love lathering it onto my skin with some warm water. The scent is so sweet it leaves me feeling indulgent and quite honestly, a little guilty. The end result is a fresh looking face I haven't seen in years.

Farmaesthetics products are 100% natural, hypo-allergenic, non-irritating, and dermatological tested without animal testing. Unlike many natural products, these beauties have a certified shelf-life of 2 years from the date of opening.

Valentine's Day Spa at Home: Mud Mask

Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching. It's a season of love and indulgence, whether it be chocolate or relaxation. Spa days don't have to be expensive and they don't even have to be with others. This valentine's day, or any day really, you should treat yourself to a relaxing and beautifying spa and facial.

Argan Oil Mud Mask is a luxurious face treat from 7th Heaven. It combines antioxidant-rich acai berries with ures vitamin-rich, hydrating and balancing pressed argan kernels, and squeezed rose hip to bring the most fatigued face back to life.

I've recently been treating myself with these masks weekly, during my bath time. Run some hot water, grab a book, and wear this beautifying mask. It leaves my skin looking renewed and refreshed. I like to combine the mask with my weekly skincare routine to keep my skin bright during the winter months. (Look forward to a tutorial featuring face masks and avocados next week.)

These masks come in single-serve pouches; perfect for travel or one-time-use. These masks usually retail for $1.99 at your local Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Harmon Discount and Kmart. I often find them on sale or with coupon codes. It's definitely worth looking into for your special spa day.

Fashion Friday: Remembering David Bowie

In remembrance of David Bowie, who passed away earlier this week, we celebrate what Bowie has done for music and fashion. Bowie's influence transcends music and fashion and touches many lives. He didn't simply wear what looked good; he dressed to feel good. That is a philosophy we can all use in our lives.









 

Repurpose and recycle your makeup brushes

Makeup brushes can be easy to clean and dry; but at some point they can no longer be used for their original purpose. Throwing out old dirty makeup brushes can feel like a waste, especially when the makeup brushes are made of gold. Repurposing and recycling makeup brushes is a wonderful alternative.

I have an unnecessary amount of makeup brushes and an unnecessary amount of containers for them. I've recently recycled my old makeup brushes to become paint brushes. They're not great, but good enough for my amateur water color swatches.
