Beauty On A Budget, Part 1 : Mascara

Hello Beauty-Holics,

Let's face it, there comes a time when our wallets are empty, except for the linty dust bunnies, and we are forced to work within a tight..and sometimes extremely STRICT budget..especially when it comes to mascara. Now, I am a L'oreal fan and I try not to deviate from the brand but sometimes, I just have absolutely NO CHOICE! So, when I find myself in this situation, I like to settle for a mascara that just as worthy and suitable to my budget, and yes I have found a gem :) Klean Colors Girls Talk Mascara is a life saver..Available in 4 different formulas/1 Color (Black), it performs just as well as any well known name brand, at a fraction of the cost. I discovered this brand of products while on a trip to my local beauty supply store, and at $2.49 a pop, I was definitely impressed..it doesn't flake off or end up under your eyes, which can give you the 'raccoon effect', and it feels light and doesn't clump. Now, granted I only tried the Waterproof formula, which was awesome, I didn't get the opportunity to test the other formulas, but based on my trip to my local beauty supply store and seeing as to how many of the non-waterproof formulas were m.i.a, one can only assume that they must be good or they wouldn't be gone..lol..So, if you ever end up tight on $$ take yourself to your nearest Beauty Supply Store and seek this product out..You will be glad that you did :)

StriVectin AR Advanced Retinol Night Treatment

Hello People,

Yep, I'm at it again..another StriVectin product, but hey, when you're on the quest for fab skin, you can only settle for the best..if one can afford it, but if you're like me (on a serious budget), then getting a chance to try this for 'free' (I was lucky enough to score a deluxe sample..yay me :D). then why not?! Well, I gave this a whirl and I was dumb-founded..overnight my skin was transformed from the 1st, yes! THE VERY FIRST USE! (sorry, I had to yell lol) The miracle-in-a-tube changed the skin on my forehead (which had a chicken skin type, pebbly feel) to soft supple skin..like as soft as the skin on your forearm..no more pebble, no more chicken skin..so I'm running down thje stats to you..here goes:

Product:  StriVectin AR Advanced Retinol Night Treatment

What it is/does:  NIA-114 + Retinol. An Anti-aging night treatment that improves the appearance/look of skin while you sleep.

Cost:  $79-$109.00

Does it really work? :  Yes!

But, as I've said before, the only true way to know, is if you try it for yourself..but I did notice 1 quirpy thing that this treatment does...During application of this product, you are to avoid the eye area when applying this, so I did..well after my 3rd time of using this, I noticed that my eyelashes had grown exceptionally longer..and no, it was not my imagination..they had grown 1/4 of an inch in about 3 days..I was freaked out..put it this way..after I put on mascara, my mother thought I had on Falsies..which I do not wear..It so happens that I start out sleeping on my back and end up on my face..the StriVectin transferred from my face, to the pillow, then back to my face (my eye area obviously)..now I can't promise the same effects for yourself but I was freaked out by my skin AND my lashes! So, even though the price is kind of steep on this one, the overall effects are totally worth it! So ttfn, and if you feel like splurging on the wonder treatment, wth?! Go for it!

See ya next week! MedusaRed

StriVectin 360 Eye Tightening Serum

Hello Lovely People,

I figured that since I am a Beauty Freakaholic, I would start my first official blog review about one of my absolute favorite products on the planet, by one of my favorite brands in existence..StriVectin..(sigh)..Now this is THE best eye serum I have ever used...and believe me, I have tried too many to name lol, but anyways let's get down to the nitty gritty about this wonder in a tube..

What it does: Tightens the skin surface around the eye area , minimizes puffy looking eyes, and visibly lifts the eye area, while promoting/causing eyes to regain a youthful contour.

How it works: Protein Tighteners are activated by, and work in conjunction with StriVectin's patented NIA-114 Molecule Formula.

Usage Amount, Application, Texture: A small dot because a little goes a loooong way, to spread over each entire eye area, the texture is very smooth and spreads easily w/fast absorption.

Pros: Tightens, minimizes wrinkles, crow's feet and fine lines around eye area. (You will see some immediate effects of all of the above)

Cons: To get the full, overall improvements, it takes a total of 8 weeks..(yep 8 WEEKS) of A.M. and P.M. application of this Serum.

Cost $: $69.00 for a half ounce tube at Sephora online



Is it worth the $ and does it REALLY work?: YES!! OMG, YES!

And I am not just blowing smoke because I love their products either..I have never been one to lie, I mean, if a company's products are crap, no matter how much I love the company, I will confess to a useless product..but this stuff is beyond fab..ugh, words can't even describe the results :D.

So if your curiosity is peaked enough to try this magic in a tube, then I strongly suggest that you take the plunge and go for it...So, good night my Beauties and stay tuned for my next review, and until then, stay beautiful and keep the Makeup Revolution going strong!
