Fall Favorites from Ole Henriksen.

/

Pumpkins are certainly everywhere this season. Have you ever thought where pumpkins fit into beauty products?  I found two products that use this naturally beneficial ingredient added into them and these beauties are making the rounds in my shower this Fall. From Ole Henricksen I am hooked on these new Fall favorites.

African Red Tea Foaming Cleanser ($30)
This luxurious facial cleanser, enriched with antioxidant-rich african red tea and Vitamin C, is strong enough to remove makeup, but gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin. Regular use will elevate your skin to new levels of clarity and luminosity. The pumpkin extracts exfoliate and smoothe skin’s texture. Other ingredients include borage seed oil and grapefruit, orange, and tangerine extracts, which moisturize, stimulate collagen synthesis, and brighten with astringent, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and aromatic qualities.

African Red Tea Sugar Glow Face Scrub ($38)
An invigorating scrub that deep cleanses, smoothes and refines skin as it polishes away impurities. Packed with the antioxidant power of African red tea, pomegranate seeds, honey and pumpkin for a smoother, brighter skin tone. The pumpkin extract brightens and exfoliates and refines.

Introducing NIP + FAB.

/

From the brains behind the award winning skincare brand Rodial, British beauty guru Maria Hatzistefanis has brought her knowledge to this new mass market skin and body care range called NIP + FAB. You have to just love the name, don't you?

Launching exclusively at Target, it's online now, NIP + FAB will offer extremely effective and affordable products. The products are formulated to treat each area of the body that has special nip, tuck, and slimming needs. 19 products in all, there is something for everyone. I have to say, that in testing a few products, the first question that comes to mind is wondering how they do it. These are department store quality products at a fraction of the price. I think you will be amazed.

 


Here are a few of the products I got to try:

SHEER MAKE UP FIX ($14.95)
This gel is similar to the beauty balms of late, but is more of a gel based formula with no color.  It spreads evenly over skin while making my wrinkles almost disappear with its formula.  Not only does this work instantly, the lifting agent, also known as a tensor, refines the skin's surface with smoothing and lifting effects. It does all this while helping to keep makeup in place all day.

FROWN FIX ($9.95)
This handy pen is like a filler to go. The concentrated formula instantly plumps and smoothes the appearance of fine lines. A special extract called Portulaca Oleracea (Pursllane) has great muscle relaxant properties that is coupled with Hyaluronic Acid to plump lines up to my satisfaction.  I simply brush the formula on the lines around my mouth immediately before putting on my face, lines are instantly softened. I like to carry the pen with me and touch up as needed during the day.

DRY LEG FIX ($9.95)
My legs are super dry and need extra help beyond your average lotion. This wonder balm-like formula that comes out of a tube is made with Aquaxyl. This special ingredient helps to improve the water reserves in the skin, limit water loss and visually improve the surface of the skin, all as you rub it in. My legs are softer than ever.

Look for NIP + FAB in stores beginning this weekend, only at Target.

Murad Rejuvenating Lift.

/

After losing about 30 pounds in less than a month earlier this year, my neck skin lost all elasticity. It is sagging and I cannot stand the sight of it. While I am seriously considering a more permanent procedure, for now I am looking for products that can help this area look better.

One such product that I just received is this new Rejuvenating Lift ($55) from Murad. Made specifically for Neck and Décolleté, it claims to increase skin firmness 42% after just one application. Well, I usually balk at such claims, but as I am desperate for help, I paid it no attention, except that I really wondered if the claim just might be true. I took a picture of my neck before using this treatment and about ten minutes after I used it. This is just after one use.

The results are visible. My neck is much more firm and toned. I can't wait to see my results after using Rejuvenating Lift for a longer period of time. For now, I can say that this treatment will remain a part of my routine.

So, how does Rejuventaing Lift work?

  • Brazilian Botanical Blend including Java Plum, Mango, and Banana pulp extracts work together in the unique Collagen Enhancing Compound offering triple benefit to smooth, plump and resurface skin
  • Retinyl Palmitate accelerates cell turnover and reduces the appearance of wrinkles 
  • Bearberry and Licorice Root Extracts lighten, brighten and even skin tone to effectively reduce the appearance of age spots and discoloration
  • Retextures skin to diminish crepiness

Like I said, I can't wait to see how this works for me long-term. Clinical testing has shown the following results after using Rejuvenating Lift for just four weeks:

  • 95% of study participants saw an improvement in fine lines
  • 92% reported an overall more youthful appearance in the neck and décolleté 
  • 88% experienced improved texture

I'll let you know about my neck and how this works for me long term, after I finish the tube.
