I’ve pretty much finished a bottle of Shampoo and Conditioner from Olaplex and I am ready to provide a review of my thoughts on the products!

Olaplex is a super hyped brand right now. It has amazing reviews, so I wanted to try it out for myself to see what all the hype was all about.

I bought both products from Sephora. The shampoo, No. 4, is $28 for 8.5 oz and the conditioner, No. 5, is $28 for 8.5 oz. It has the “clean at Sephora” seal, so that means that it free from over 50 ingredients.

It has many claims: bonding that hair, eliminates frizz, improves hair strength, repairs hair, etc. The conditioner is supposed to add shine.

Is it worth the hype? For me, nah. It’s super expensive for such little product. I liked it, but it wasn’t anything extraordinary that I HAVE to HAVE. I think that the shampoo was nice, but the conditioner was mediocre at best. I have thick, curly hair, so it took a ton of conditioner for my hair. Did it add shine? Maybe a bit, but nothing crazy noticeable.

Overall, I enjoyed using it, but nothing revolutionary here. It got the job done, but I won’t be repurchasing.

I’m trying out a few of their other products too. More to come on those!

I need something a bit more hydrating for my conditioner. Still on the lookout for the best one! Let me know if you know of anything or have recommendations!

Lots of Love,

Good evening friends! Tonight I am bringing you an eye cream review. I’ve been trying this for a few weeks now and have formulated my thoughts about this eye cream I was gifted for my honest opinion.

Dewycel is a Korean skincare brand. This cream is free of parabens, phenoxy ethanol, benzyl alcohol, chlorphenesin, triclosan, triethanolamine, BHT and denatured alcohol.

This eye cream is full of peptides and adenosine to help improve texture! Olive oil, shea butter and other oils provide many of the hydrating benefits. It also has liposome technology to help absorb in cells and plump the fine lines and wrinkles.

This sounds great, but does it really work? Can I be honest? I am pleasantly surprised that this does live up to many of its claims!

This is very hydrating, melts into the skin, and also feels so amazing on. It doesn’t peel or feel sticky in texture, which many creams sometimes do, especially around the eyes for some reason?! It does plump and improves some texture, but I will have to update you to see how it does long-term.

I think that this is a great deal too. It’s $29 USD/30mL and can be found on Amazon (2-day shipping! YAY!).

Oh and last, but not least, I will also say, this does make me look less tired. It does brighten a bit, which I love!

Overall, I am really enjoying this. It is fun to try new brands and find good, solid products that I know actually perform. It always surprises me because I don’t know what to expect!

Have you tried anything from this brand?

Lot’s of love,

Jennifer

Can I just tell you that I am not normally a “sleeping mask” girl? I don’t know… it’s just kind of hard for me to find one I like. I’ve tried a few here and there, and they just didn’t work out. This one, however, surprised me.

Age Stop Switzerland is a company that basis their products on plant stem cells and the discovery of Snow Algae Powder. Sounds interesting, right?

This powder has been proven to rejuvenate skin cells. More information on the science can be found here: http://www.snow-algae.com/efficacy/preserving-collagen.html.

So, what is this product? A Hydro Glow Bio Oxygen Fusion Sleeping Mask?

YES! This sleeping mask is a super hydrating gel-like cream… (does that make sense?!). It is blue. It claims to lift, smooth, plump, and firm!

I really enjoy this product. It is so, so hydrating, which is amazing for my dry skin. The cream glides on top of serums and other products nicely without peeling. I find that it also isn’t sticky at all, but it does feel like I have a thin, protective layer on my skin. It is kind of neat.

From AgeStop’s website, “Powered by a unique fusion of Active Hydrocarbon, Swiss Snow Algae, Alpine Rose Stem Cells, Edelweiss & Centella Asiatica Extracts, Vitamins C & E, Hyaluronic Acid and amazing Bio-Energy Mineral Complex from semi-precious gemstone – Peridot, this hydrating treatment supports natural circulation and skin`s own repair mechanisms to bring you a significantly younger look in just one application.”

Results? Hydration is the first thing I noticed after I applied the cream. It’s so lovely and feels amazing. It does plump and smooth, but I am still waiting on the firming piece. I probably need to use it for a longer period of time before I see those results.

Overall, this is very good. I’m so pleased with the hydrating factor of this. It’s not cheap, $85, but I do think that it is a very nice mask for a routine. Let me know if you have tried these before!

Lots of love,

Jennifer

Affordable skincare? Um, yes, please! Affordable skincare that works? EVEN better! I am excited to share with you what I think are hidden gems in the skincare world. Meebak skincare was so nice to let me try these products for my honest review, and I am so excited I decided to, because I have since found two really nice products.

There are two products that I want to tell ya about today. The first is a serum. The Meebak Cica Serum is made with Centella asiatica to calm and soothe skin, especially those with sensitive skin. It is supposed to heal and strengthen the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid keeps your skin hydrated while the niacinamide keeps your texture smooth and retinol keeps those wrinkles at bay.

This can be found on Amazon for an amazing deal – $19.97 and there is a $2 coupon!

This serum is phenomenal. It really feels calming, has a slight scent, but it is nostalgic to me. It reminds me of my Nannie’s makeup drawer, oddly enough. It’s a pleasant scent that isn’t overwhelming and it dissipates quickly.

I would say it is a hydrating serum. It sinks right in. I have no issues layering products under or over this serum. I highly recommend this as it quickly has become a product I reach for over my higher priced serums.

Next up is the Meebak Cica Cream. This cream is silky smooth and blends in like a dream. It is also made with Centella asiatica to help calm and soothe skin.

It has very similar claims to the cica serum. This cream also contains retinol and niacinamide. It also is full of peptides, which I really like. It hydrates and makes my skin radiant.

This is definitely thicker in consistency compared to the serum. While they are similar in the fact that they both are cica derived, you can definitely tell that the cream provides more hydration that lasts.

This cream can also be found on Amazon for an affordable price at $16.97 and there is a $2 coupon!!! Amazing!

Both products have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. There is also no animal testing. They are made in Korea.

I feel like these products are honestly hidden gems. They are excellent products that I have used and really have enjoyed. I do think that they have helped with the texture of my skin and have provide much needed hydration.

Do you have any hidden gems you can share? I’m always looking for those!

Let me know if you have tried this brand or have tried cica products. This was the first I had heard of it!

Lots of love,

Jennifer
