Gold Elements: A 24K Cleansing..

Hello My Darlings!,


My Gold Adventure has only just begun and the realization of the healing
attributes and restorative properties of Gold are amazing..But what about
its cleansing properties? Now the word Gold isn't normally associated
with the words 'Cleanser' or 'Toner', but in this case, I quickly discovered
that my way of thinking in regards to this was all wrong.


So without further delay, let me fill you in on these scientific joys in a bottle...



In collaboration with Gold Elements-USA, I present to you the Intensive
Multi-Task Facial Cleanser & the Intensive Cleansing & Softening Toner...

Now for the stats & such..





Product #1: Intensive Multi-Task Facial Cleanser

the skin in one step, skin is left clean, smooth,

motion. There is a slight lather when it
is applied to your skin. Works well
when used with/without a facial brush.
Rinse well. Mild Scent





Price: $79.00 120ml/4.05 Oz Tube

generous amount to a cotton ball and smooth over a
freshly washed face/neck, let skin air-dry

Where to Buy: http://goldelements-usa.com/skincare/category/cleansers-toners




My Verdict: Love It! It works effortlessly to remove any excess eye makeup/makeup
residue that may have been missed after washing your face and it gives your skin a
brightened, ethereal glow.





Ok, so I used both of these products first, then applied my makeup and here are the results..

I have very oily skin that is acne-prone and my complexion dulls and I do get
redness from acne treatments that I have to use. The Intensive Multi Task Facial
Cleanser works excellent to scrub away the dead skin and it helps to prevent
sebum build-up, all without leaving my face dried out & sore or greasy, and the
Cleansing & Softening Toner helps to re-invigorate my skin and replenish any
moisture that was lost, without leaving a greasy residue. Both products also help
diminish/eliminate oxidation marks (brown spots) left by acne.


5-Star products, indeed. To find out more about these products & others like

Gold Elements: The Body Butter of the Gods

Hello My Gorgeous Ones!,


Dry skin..UGH!!..the ungodly itch, unsightly redness from scratching and the
dried skin that looks much like a cheese grater..So we reach for regular body
lotion with the hopes that it will provide some relief..Nope, didn't do it..So in
these instances we obviously need something that is of a somewhat heavier
texture..Something that will stay with us all day long-something by the way of
Body Butter :)


Body Butter contains more emollients than your traditional, run-of-the-mill body
lotion. The consistency is by far, much heavier & stays with your skin much longer.
Body Butters are not suited for everyone but this one..this one is fit for the Gods..




In collaboration with Gold Elements-USA, I present you Truffles Infusion Body
Butter...Now for the stats & etc..





Product: Truffles infusion Body Butter
(Photo;Right)



Pros:
Infused with *Truffles Extract, Sweet Almond
Oil, Shea Butter and 24K Gold Powder, this
Body Butter leaves skin soft, supple and ultra
drenched with moisture that lasts all day long.




Cons: None




*Truffle Extract:

Truffles are a mushroom-like fungus that contain essential fat acids which deeply
condition and provide vitamins & nutrients to the skin, helping to diminish fine lines
& wrinkles, while promoting radiant skin. Truffles are also used in cooking and
are an essential ingredient in many culinary dishes.





Usage/Performance:
(Photo;Right)


Apply to desired area of the body
and thoroughly massage into the skin until
it is absorbed. A small dab of this goes far
so very little is needed.
Mild Almond Butter Scent



Price: $99.00 175ml/5.95 oz Jar

Where to Buy: http://goldelements-usa.com/skincare/collection/truffles-infusion/truffles-infusion-body-butter



My Verdict: Love It! My skin stayed hydrated all day long and I did not need to
re-apply at all. My skin was thanking me! :)


This Body Butter is very rich & moisturizing without being greasy, which is an
unfortunate drawback to many Body Butters. No oil slick from this one, even
though it contains oil. This is truly the Body Butter of the Gods..So if you would
like your very own heavenly experience then by all means copy & paste the link
in the "Where to Buy" section of this review and discover all of the items that
Gold Elements-USA has to offer..


But this Golden journey has only just begun..Stay Tuned..


Until Next Time-Ciao! M.R. xxoo

Gold Elements: My Skin turned to Gold..

Hello My Darlings!,

In ancient Egypt, Gold was considered the flesh of the pharaohs. It was customary
for the dead to don the burial mask made of this legendary element..an element that
would make the Rulers of Egypt immortal..I always thought it all untrue-just a bunch
of wild fables dreamed up by madmen & shamans, who also embraced Gold due to
its beauty and legendary healing abilities...


Of the latest technological advances that are happening within the Beauty Industry,
many precious metals are now being used in a large number of anti-aging products
to help fight the ravages of time on our skin. Gold however, carries with it many
regenerative/restorative healing properties. Gold is also a very powerful and
well-known antioxidant that inhibits loss of Collagen & Elastin-the 2 main nutrients
needed to prevent saggy, dull, and wrinkled skin. By stimulating skin cell growth
and promoting the retention of Collagen & Elastin, the skin's surface is regenerated,
thereby creating smoother, tightened, firmer skin that exhibits a visual improvement.
I never thought that any of these claims were true..

Until I saw it happen on my own face...



In collaboration with Gold Elements-USA, I proudly present Mega Cream from the
Mega Skincare Line.


Now for the stats & etc:



Product: Gold Elements Mega Cream
(Photo;Right)





Pros:
Inspired by cosmetic surgical procedures,
this cream contains a unique blend of caviar,
natural minerals & oils, 24K Gold powder
& liposomes that combine together to
undo the ravages of time & create a
luxurious restorative moisturizer that
re-sculpts & repairs, leaving skin tightened,
smooth & supple with a radiant feel/complexion,
non-irritating & non pore-clogging,
suitable for all skin types,
safe for sensitive skin.



Cons: None



Usage/Performance:
(Photo;Right)

Apply to a freshly washed/dried face.
This product goes far so only a small
amount is needed-a dime sized dab
will do. Quickly absorbs into the skin
& moisturizes without being greasy.
Apply 2-4 times per week.
Lightly scented






Price: $1,099.00  50ml/1.7 oz Jar

Where to Buy: http://goldelements-usa.com/gold-elements-mega-cream




My Verdict: Love It! My skin was jumping for joy :)





My face was in love..





The restorative & healing properties of Gold are indeed true and this product
actually delivers on its promise of leaving tightened, re-sculpted, supple skin.
My skin was left smooth & supple without feeling greasy. I had a tightened,
re-sculpted, radiant & firmer texture to my skin as well. A 5-star product indeed :).
So if you would like to discover your own Mega experience, just copy & paste

and many more that Gold Elements-USA has to offer. Ah, but this golden journey
has only just begun..Stay Tuned for more Gold Elements-USA..

Rimmel London's ScandalEyes Curve Alert Mascara: OH, What A Scandal!!

Hello My Lovely Ones,


I must admit another secret..I am a mascara junkie! I have a hardcore addiction to any
mascara that makes my lashes look fuller, longer, darker and if possible, False without
being clumpy. I know that I am not alone in my addiction because many of us have it.
The search for the ultimate mascara that will make our lashes look fabulous & garner
us compliments..Well I have discovered a precious gem of a product that does just that
..So allow me to enlighten you on this wonder-with-a-wand..


In collaboration with Rimmel-London Cosmetics, I present to you, ScandalEyes Curve
Alert Mascara, from the ScandalEyes Mascara Collection.


Here's the lowdown..


Product: ScandalEyes Curve Alert Mascara

(Photo;Right)


Featured Color: Black

Formula: Non-Waterproof



Pros: Goes on smooth/clump-free, lengthens &
volumizes lashes, intense color pay-off, fast-drying
formula, non-flaking, safe for contact lens wearers,
opthamologist tested, safe for sensitive eyes


Cons: Be sure to wipe off excess mascara that will be present on the end of the wand
BEFORE applying..The brush is somewhat large & a wee-bit awkward so take your
time & be careful when applying. (See pic below)









** I noticed that this mascara is very waterproof for being a non-waterproof formula.
I did the heat/sweat/rainy weather tests with this product & I was shocked to find that
it did not run, smear, smudge, flake, come down or gum up at all**



Price: $8.99 & up


Where to Buy: any mass market retailer such as Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Walgreens,

Forever Flawless: Diamond-Infused HYDRA-PM Night Cream..The Fairytale just goes on & on..

Hello My Darlings!,


It seems as if my Diamond journey is anything but over...in fact it almost seems to be
endless :D..As my adventures throughout the different dimensions of diamonds goes
on & on, I've returned to the land of White Diamonds to discover their moisturizing
properties as well.

During our sleep, the body works hard to repair itself from the inside out. Our skin
also works hard to replenish moisture that is lost during the day. Even those of us
with oily/acne-prone skin lose moisture, which in turn can cause our skin to become
dried out, itchy & red. So what's the remedy for all of this lost moisture, regardless
of our skin type?! Allow me to explain..


In collaboration with Forever Flawless Skincare, I present to you, the Diamond-Infused
HYDRA-PM Night Cream from the White Diamond Collection..


Now let me give you the goods on this..



Product: Diamond-Infused HYDRA-PM Night Cream
(Photo;Right)



Pros:
Extra-fine diamond powder, natural
botanicals, milk proteins & vitamins
combine to create a fast absorbing,
powerhouse night cream that works to
revitalize & regenerate stressed skin,
leaving it smooth, soothed and refreshed.
Non-irritating & non pore-clogging,
suitable for all skin types.
Safe for sensitive skin.



Cons: None




Usage/Performance:

(Photo; Right)

Apply to a freshly washed face & neck.
A small amount goes far so use sparingly.
Leaves your skin moisturized without feeling greasy.
Use nightly. Lightly scented



Price: $199.00 50g/1.76 oz Jar


My Verdict: Love It! My skin is moisturized without feeling greasy :)



Where to Buy: http://www.foreverflawless.com/Forever-Flawless-HYDRA-PM
Night-Cream-Complex-p/ff16.htm



This night cream goes right into your skin, unlike some night creams that can leave
your skin greasy and even irritated. Despite my skin type being Oily/Acne-prone,
it still gets dried out at times due to using acne washes & spot treatments, so
re-hydration is definitely required.



My happy, re-hydrated face....






So if you're looking for a night cream that hydrates without the oily aftermath,
copy & paste the link in the "Where to Buy" section of this review and check
out this item, along with many others that Forever Flawless has to offer.


Until We Meet Again,

Ciao!-M.R. xxoo
