ORO 24 KARAT Skincare: Give your Skin the gift of Gold

Hello My Dearest Ones,


I've been M.I.A as of late and I must confess that my journey hasn't exactly been the
stuff of fairy tales (more akin to the worst Twilight Zone episode gone haywire..but
anyways), the opportunity to be brought back to you all, arrived a few short weeks ago
and VOILA!!!

What brought me back to the pages of this blog, you might ask?! Well, it can only be
summed up in one word...Gold. Yes, Gold..that earthly element that even the Pharaohs
of Egypt couldn't resist (and neither could I for that matter), but this time it's something
that we all can afford to indulge in..literally.

Now usually when we hear that a skincare product contains Gold, we cringe at  the mere
thought of the price and then we might imagine the effectiveness of the actual product but
the price point is usually what grabs our attention first. I, myself, when contemplating any
skincare product, look for the most important aspects: Effectiveness, Results and last but
certainly not least, the Price. These are the deciding factors that will dictate as to whether
or not said product will be beneficial to achieving my skincare goals.

But isn't it just dandy when we find luxurious products that actually work, and best of all,
when they're affordable as well?! All I can say is, hold onto your hats because I've stumbled
upon exactly that..

In collaboration with ORO 24 KARAT Skincare, I proudly present the ORO 24 KARAT
Anti-Aging Supreme Skincare Set* *prices can be found at the end of this post along with
website links...

ORO 24 KARAT Anti-Aging Supreme Skincare Set

Each of the 3 products in this set, contains the following ingredients:
Gold, Hexapeptide-8, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamins A, C and E and all products are suitable
for every skin type


Product #1:  Express Non-Surgical Anti-aging Facelift Cream

What it does:
This is a 'target area' product which creates an instant Facelift effect by lifting, tightening
and toning the specific problem areas of the face-fine lines and wrinkles (i.e., smile/frown
lines of the forehead)

Usage: 1-2 times per week. This product should only be used where needed most-frown
lines on forehead and/or smile lines by the mouth (avoid contact with the eye area when
using this product due to the powerful peptides)

Product #2: Timeless 24K Anti-Aging Serum

What is does:
This serum recharges the skin by restoring firmness/elasticity and improves the overall appearance and texture of the skin.

Usage: 2-3 times per week.

Product #3: Timeless 24K Anti-Aging Cream

 


What it does: Helps combat the visible signs of aging of the face and neck. Restores elasticity, radiance and nourishes the skin.

Usage: 2-3 times per week

My Experience:

Usage: 2-3 times per week
Usage Duration: 3 weeks
My skin Type: Oily

I used all 3 of these products in conjunction with each other and I quickly learned the 2
following things: (on the 1st use) 1. DO NOT RUB these products into your skin-Push them
into your skin and allow them to fully absorb BEFORE applying the next product, and 2.
Wait 3-5 mins in between applying these products, when using them all together. **


**Side Note: If you rush the process AND attempt to rub them in, you will experience
what I call The Crumb Effect** and that's not cool, so a little patience will make all the
difference and using the Push/Pat method will too.

**The Crumb Effect is what happens when a product isn't fully absorbed into the skin
when applying another product-it will ball up resulting in what looks like 'crumbs' on
your skin.


Results: On Week 1 I noticed a definite difference in my skin's firmness and elasticity
and fine lines were greatly diminished. My skin was smoother and firmer and I achieved
a noticeable 'contouring effect to my skin. Week 2, things just got better-definite continued
smoothing of any fine lines and my skin's finish was superb. Week 3, my skin had done a
complete 180 degree turn around-plumpness galore and the radiance..Wow.


My Final Thoughts:

I Love this set! I have extremely oily/sensitive skin, which requires me to do constant acne
treatments due to breakouts, which in turn dry my face out and can at times, cause irritation.
But even so, I still need to replenish my skin with a measurable amount of moisture, so this
skincare set was ideal for me.

My elasticity was restored and along with that came a noticeable/rapid improvement in the
overall radiance/smoothness to the texture of my skin. I was quite surprised at just how fast
I saw the results and what amazed me most, along with the effectiveness, is the price
of these products, both as a set and individually.

And here's me after indulging in 3 weeks of these products..

No filters or editing :)

Anti-Aging Supreme Set (All 3 Products): $187.99 USD

This set which I now own :)

Express Non-Surgical anti-Aging Facelift Cream: $78.99 USD
10 ml/0.33 oz

Timeless 24K Anti-Aging Serum: $64.99 USD
35ml/1.2 oz

Timeless 24K anti-Aging Cream: $64.99 USD
50 ml/1.7 oz

Find these products here: https://oro24karat.com/collections/anti-aging


So, with all of this being said, I most definitely recommend this set if you're looking
to indulge yourself in the fabulous world of skincare and Gold-infused products. Get
awesome results all without breaking your wallet..Isn't that nice?!

Until next time & with More to Come,

Jasclair Ice Roller Kit: Ice, Ice Baby! Oh My!!!

Hello My Loves!,

IT IS I !!!! I'm back..I've been on hiatus for awhile..That travesty called "Life" interfered
and well..I've been away for too long but I've returned with a cool product...


We all wake up w/one thing in common-A slightly puffy face/eyes..It can't be helped
regardless of how many Zzz's we accumulate, a puffy face is the tell-tale sign of 'just
waking up'. Our eyes are puffy and it usually requires a good face washing/cold water
splashing just to get us back to "looking alive"..But I've discovered a Beauty Tool that
can speed up that process, all while addressing a few other skin related issues as well..

In collaboration with Jasclair, I present the Ice Roller Kit...



What's in the Box:

1- Ice Roller

1- bottle Vitamin C+ Hyaluronic Acid Serum (1 fl. oz)



What it does:

The Ice Roller helps to, via cold temp, flush excess fluid from the facial region, while
helping to reduce redness, enlarged pores, crows feet/fine lines, under eye circles and
it also helps to tighten the jawline region as well.




1. Ice Roller - I had this baby in this freezer for about 8 hrs so it had a hyper chill..

2. Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Serum - This stuff renews the skin..I promise

How it works:

**Place the Ice Roller into the freezer BEFORE using, for at least 4 hrs**

1. Wash/dry your face thoroughly

2. Apply a generous amount of the Serum to your face-work it in well

3. Take Ice Roller and roll in upward strokes on the face/around the eyes and jawline-
be sure to use a nominal amount of pressure while doing this, as you will achieve the
best results.

4. Wash Ice Roller w/a mild soap and sterilize with alcohol-allow to air dry & put
roller back into the plastic storage container that is included with this kit.

My Experience~

I really loved this roller and this was my 1st time ever using this particular type of skin
roller. It really helped to reduce the puffiness in my face & around my eyes and it worked
quite well, in conjunction w/the serum. My skin felt smoother, softer and firmer. A 5-star
product most definitely. If you would like to read more reviews about this product and/or
pick it up for yourself just follow the link in the Where to Buy section, at the bottom of
this post.

Stay Tuned because I have much more in the Beauty Tools, to share with you!

Motives' "I Do" Bridal Collection Palette: A Marriage of the utmost Beauty!

Hello My Darlings!,


I must confess that I have another obsession..Palettes-Eye Shadows, Contouring,
Lip Palettes-no matter the type, I'm a sucker for them and I own a countless number
of these as well. From the highest end to the most inexpensive, I want it and/or I
already have it.

But every so often, there comes along a Palette that seems to 'do it all' and this is the
one that becomes my go-to palette because it's so very versatile and the beautiful results
that can be achieved from it are outstanding.

Some of us believe that age old saying: "You get what you pay for!", but I myself
have a slightly different theory because I believe in the quality of a product, not the
price tag because there's been many instances in which I've purchased a high-priced
lipstick, only to be highly disappointed by its poor performance/horrendous quality.

So, the same theory goes for these types of palettes along with Eye Shadows,
Bronzers and the like, but it seems to be that there are particular items that fall
somewhere in the mid-range of pricing that contain products of the highest quality,
which makes them ideal for all budgets..


In collaboration with Ronica Garcia/Faces By Ronica for Motives Cosmetics, I proudly
present the Motives 'I Do' Bridal Collection Palette*..

*This palette features items chosen by Youtube MUA Jackie Gomez, for her collaboration
with Motives Cosmetics


The Palette...

Now, here on the outside ..

But on the inside..
Top Row: 5 Eye Shadows
Bottom Row: 1 Highlighter, 1 Bronzer, 1 Blusher
Bottom Item: 1 Eyeliner Pencil in Darkest Brown

The Swatches (Eye Shadows)...

Colors from L to R: Rings, Lace, Dance, Cake, Kiss

The Swatches Pt 2..

From L to R: Highlighter in 'Vows", Bronzer in "Toast", Blusher in "Love"

The Looks....(Eye Shadows)

This Palette is very versatile and you can do any combination of looks for the eyes and
the best part is that you can bold or subtle when applying these eye shadows. The eyeliner
that is included is also very gentle on the eyes and it is dark brown but it appears black
on film. The Bronzer gives you a warm golden glow w/o looking artificial and the Blusher
is divine and gives you an alluring/subtle hint of pink. The Highlighter is subtle but
effective at providing a silvery-pink crystalline glow.

Price: $49.95

Now this could seem somewhat pricey but it's worth every penny, especially
considering that these are high end/quality products.

This is one of my favorite palettes & I definitely recommend it for all occasions. If you

Lifestance's 5 PC Blackhead Remover Tool Kit: Remove Blackheads the easy way!

Hello My Darlings!,


Blackheads- Those pesky dark spots that appear in our pores-they invade our noses,
and our foreheads..the very sight of them can make us unnerved..So what exactly are
Blackheads and what causes them?

Blackheads are caused by excessive buildup that collects in our upper dermal layers
(top layers) of the skin. It is made up of oil & dirt caused by sweat, makeup and natural
body oil that is secreted in the skin throughout the day. If our pores remaine clogged
by this excess residue, pimples will most likely form.

Ahhh but there is a remedy for keeping our pores clear & addressing these mini dark
dots that can congregate on our faces like a party of ants at a sugar pile...


In collaboration with Lifestance, I proudly present the 5 PC Blackhead Remover
Tool Kit....

Joyal Super Brightening Vitamin C Eye Gel: Feel the Glow of Vitamin C

Hello My Darlings!,

Eye Cream is the absolute essential product to combat the 1st signs of aging, which usually
makes its presence known by showing up in the eye area..As the saying goes "The Eyes have it",
and in many cases it's usually true.

Finding the best product to address this issue can be a daunting task as not all Eye Creams
are the same as some creams can irritate the delicate area around the eyes, and this is not
good. Opting for a product that's all natural is the best route, as these types of products
don't contain harmful ingredients..and that's where this product fits in:


In collaboration w/Joyal Beauty, I present the All-Natural Super Brightening Vitamin C
Eye Gel...


Product: Super Brightening Vitamin C Eye Gel
(photo;Right)



Contains Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Silk Amino
Acids, Cucumber Extract and Aloe Vera.

Works to hydrate the skin around the eye area.
Effectively softens/brightens the eyes while
restoring the skin's moisture without leaving
a tacky/greasy residue.


Safe for All Skin Types. Paraben/Fragrance/Dye-Free.

Price: $19.95 USD

Size: Full, 1/2 Fl. Oz Bottle


Where to Buy: http://www.amazon.com/Cream-Circles-Under-Puffy-Wrinkles/dp/B0131T8LIE/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1439428577&sr=1-1&keywords=eye+cream%2CB0131T8LIE



The product...

My Verdict~ Love it!!! This Eye Gel is fast absorbing and it is fragrance-free, which
is a major plus because I have extremely sensitive skin. It soothed the skin around my
eyes and it left no residue behind at all. Definitely recommend this product to anyone
looking for an all natural skin/eye product.

Motives Cosmetics Color Corrector Concealer Quad: An Even Complexion, anyone?!

Hello My Darlings!,

An even complexion, especially when wearing foundation, is an absolute must
and for some time, I never imagined that foundation alone would sometimes not
be enough, to achieve the perfect flawless face..

Some of us would rather not venture beyond the common concealer but at times
we may need something with a little more ummph to erase those pesky dark circles
under the eyes or that horrid red spot that seems to stick out like a sore thumb, and
sometimes it's still there even after using concealer. But then I was introduced to
a true wonder..Color Corrector..and that's when everything changed..

Ok, so the 1st question-"What Is Color Corrector Concealer?" Well, is it specifically
colored concealer designed to neutralize/cancel out skin discolorations. These specific
colors correspond to their exact opposite colors on the Color Wheel and therefore work
like this: They 'neutralize' or cancel out their appearance on the skin.

The Color Wheel:

Ex: Yellow Concealer cancels out blue/purple veins or bruises, Green Concealer cancels
out red/pink discolorations, Blue/Pale Purple Concealer cancels out yellow discolorations
and so on.

So basically, you choose the Color Correcting Concealer Shade based on your individual
skin discoloration(s), by choosing the color that is the exact opposite of the discoloration.
So for example: if you have red marks due to acne, you would use a green color correcting
concealer to cancel out this discoloration (See the Color Wheel above)-pretty easy huh?!


So once you've decided on Color Correcting needs for your skin, the next thing is to
find the best product to do the best job, which can be a little confusing. Some of these
Color Correctors are sold separately as individual colors- and sometimes you can get a
combo of colors in 2,3 or 4. But I'm no snob so the more the better, for myself that is..


In collaboration with Ronica Garcia/FacesByRonica for Motives Cosmetics, I proudly
present Motives Cosmetics Color Correcting Concealer Quad..

Product: Color Corrector Concealer Quad

Color: No.1 Light to Medium

Skin Type(s): All

Price: $38.50

Size: Full Size

Motives Color Corrector Concealer Quad in #1-Light to Med.

Now here's the product, which I've used already..

And here are the Swatches..

Now here are the results..

Under Eyes (before)

Under Eyes w/Yellow CC Concealer

And after....

I'm just absolutely hooked on this Color Corrector Concealer Quad and it blends into

the skin without becoming caked, greasy or dried out. It is long lasting, fragrance-free 

and it doesn't clog pores. It can perfect even the most stubborn of blemishes caused by 

acne, rosacea and hyper-pigmentation. I have extremely sensitive/acne-prone skin and 

this product doesn't irritate my skin at all. 

I definitely recommend this CC Quad to anyone looking to step up their concealer

game in order to acquire the "Perfect" Foundation coverage. Plus, very little product 

is needed to get awesome results-A 5-Star product that gives 10-Star results...
