A little dab'll do ya so the product will last quite a long time. This is a cooling, soothing, hydrating gel that feels amazing.

Natural Vitamin C + E Serum with Ferulic & Hyaluronic Acid - Complete Skin Solutions


NEW Best Natural Vitamin C + E Serum with Ferulic & Hyaluronic Acid Provides Super Antioxidant Power for Maximum Anti-Aging Benefits Repair Damaged Skin and Stimulates New Collagen By Complete Skin Solutions


 Vitamin C Serum is especially perfect for me- it has antioxidants to reverse and prevent damage from the sun (I'm a freckled redhead), pollution (I lived in Dallas for decades and still work there and the pollution gets so bad that most of the summer are 'orange' or 'red' where they recommend people not breathe outside air if they can help it), and cigarette smoke ( smoked for 20+ years.)
Combined with vitamin E with it's known strong healing properties and hyaluronic acid which gives the serum the added bonus of maximizing your moisturizer.

I took off 1 star because it's a 15% vitamin c instead of the standard 20% and for containing alcohol, even in a small amount, the addition of alcohol can affect my sensitive skin.
  • The first piece of the anti aging puzzle Dr. Oz talked about was Vitamin C and the second piece was Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic Acid combined properly with Vitamin C, literally makes your face look two decades younger in weeks!. It can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an excellent natural skin plumper. Hyaluronic acid helps your skin repair and regenerate itself after suffering from dryness, environmental stresses, or irritation.
  • Vitamin C penetrates deep into damaged skin and stimulates new collagen - a protein which makes skin appear plump and firm. Applying non-prescription Vitamin C to your skin causes up to a 60% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
  • What Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid do is get rid of all the old, dead layers of skin and help your skin generate fresh new ones. 2 Key Ingredients For Anti Aging: 1. Vitamin C 2. Hyaluronic Acid These are both natural ingredients that work together to erase wrinkles and fine lines at the cellular level - below the surface of the skin - which is why they're so effective
  • 1% vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol), and 0.5% ferulic acid which not only protects your skin from free-radical damage, but increases collagen synthesis and cell proliferation of protein fibers which improves the structural integrity within your skin.
  • Hyaluronic acid helps your skin repair and regenerate itself after suffering from dryness, environmental stresses, irritation and plumps up your skin making it look and feel younger.All Complete Skin Solutions products' are Manufactured in FDA-Registered laboratory facility under strict US FDA guidelines. Made in the USA. No Parabens. No Oils. Cruelty-Free.

M3K - A Star Of An Antiaging Cream And a Fun Foaming Cleanser/Toner






Other than prescription Retin-A, the most effective cream to reduce fine lines, age spots and speed cellular turnover, there are a few other skin care ingredients that are proven anti-agers. The best creams contain Matrixyl 3000, L-Carnisine, Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE Bitartate and Alpha Lipoic Acid.  

Other star ingredients include Vitamin A, C and E.

I have used creams that contain some of these ingredients, but I've never heard of one that includes all of them; particularly one that is as affordable as M3K Optimized Matrix Regenerative Face Cream.

After reviewing their press material, it immediately piqued my curiosity.  I was delighted to have the opportunity to sample it and share what I hoped would be a fabulous, well priced anti-aging cream with my readers.

 It did not disappoint...

Since I also received their cleanser I was to give M3K a more exclusive trial. I eschewed my cleanser, toner and makeup remover for the cleanser solo and didn't use a separate serum for 2 weeks, just the cream, and used both day and night.

The cream has a lovely, gel like texture that absorbed quickly, leaving my face feeling comfortably hydrated and glowing, (not unlike La Peau). The Barefaced Fabulous Cleanser is in a foaming pump which allows you to cleanse your face, remove makeup and balance your skin ph in one step without having to use a ton of product. With the foam it rinses much better that a thick soap. 

M3K  is a small line that includes a product called Barefaced Fabulous, that is a combination cleanser, toner and makeup remover, Dirty Boy formulated for men, who may have to combat an occasional breakout and a hand cream that is infused with the same star ingredients as their face cream.

It's a young company, but they are dedicated to creating premium, quality products, while keeping the price points affordable.

BeautyFusion Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Universal Technologies Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Cream, 2 oz.
  • Peptides (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide -7) in this Day and Night Face Cream stimulate regeneration of Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid which decreases fine lines and deep wrinkles, improves skin elasticity and tone,repairs, firms and rejuvenates the skin
  • Hyaluaronic Acid called "Fountain of Youth" attracts and holds onto water making this Anti Aging Cream with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C the ideal Facial Moisturizer that combats age-related dehydration
  • Vitamin C & E powerful antioxidants in this Anti-Wrinkle Cream have a crucial role in the production of Collagen. It promotes skin tone and elasticity, decreases inflammation, protects and repairs sun damage and skin discoloration , renews, hydrates and restores the skin
  • Vitamin B in this Vitamin C Cream for your face helps to retain moisture and metabolize food sources, providing nutrients to the whole body including skin. It prevents aging, reduces fine lines, it is essential for maintaining the texture, resilience, firmness and radiance of the skin

This is the 3rd product that I've used from BeautyFusion and once again I'm thrilled with the results. So many skincare products rely on one ingredient to do all of the work, and this is a powerhouse combination to address just about every anti aging skincare concern under the sun. It's a rich cream that absorbs well, though since it's summer and my skin can get oily, I use it as a night cream. When I wake up in the morning my face is baby soft and my foundation goes on much more smoothly. The texture of my skin with a month's use is extremely smooth and plump. Not bad for someone who's physical health is on the border of serious hospitalization! (you might have seen my fundraiser at the top of my blog page that a friend set up for me) 

My one complaint is that I wish they'd update their labeling. They make fabtastic products and I think they are losing business with outdated labeling. Everybody has to start somewhere, but I think that investing in a good designer would bring the appearance up to the quality of the product inside. Let's face it, the package is what draws the eye and a classy label would boost their business tenfold.

La Beauté Pure Earth Ocean Clay mask


Everything I've tried from this company has been fantastic, and this mask is no exception. I'm a huge fan of face masks- I generally do about one a week. This one has wonderful natural ingredients that do wonders for your skin, especially if you have clogged or enlarged pores or acne. This cleans all the gunk out and visibly diminishes pore size (at least temporarily). This is a great mask to use right before special events or photos as your skin looks tighter, younger and brighter. It rinses easily and only needs a thin coat- too thick of a coat can make for clumpy application and uneven drying time. For best results, I recommend applying with a brush, I use a foundation brush to get a good even application.

BeautyBliss Retinol Face & Neck Cream - Don't Judge A Lotion By It's Cover

#beautybliss is looking good up close #love #kisses

Time For A Label Update


I saw an immediate superficial difference on my first application; my pores were tightened as was my skin in general.
Fine lines were minimized though my deeper crevasses were still visible; from what I understand about retinols, after about a month of use I'll see a big difference there too.

In the morning my skin has a glow after absorbing this overnight. I've been using this over a serum and alternating using this under my eyes with an eye cream. After about 3 weeks use, I'm seeing a vast improvement in my skin's texture and evenness and the fine lines are really lessening across the board. My skin feels soft and plump and looks good even without makeup. The circles under my eyes are diminishing and tightening. To get the best out of this stuff, make sure sure your skin is super clean and exfoliated to really absorb the benefits, though this will help with exfoliating and getting rid of dead cells. You can also use this on areas that you feel need a youth treatment, like gnarly old lady hands! (guilty as charged!) I also recommend applying this to your neck and chest for an even look from your face down. These oft neglected areas are actually the worst for showing our age, so treat them well! This is a big jar, so don't be shy about applying this liberally.

My one suggestion to them would be to update the labeling. It takes away from the awesomeness of the product- this is spa quality and the label makes it seem less high end than it really is. So in this, DON'T judge a book by it's cover!
