Marching In The Beauty Army Products - Fiafini, Control Corrective, Apothoderm, Aquolina, Egyptian Magic, Pssssst!

BeautyArmy  is $12 a month with the option to skip any month. What makes them different from most sample subscriptions is that you get to choose which 6 samples you want. There's generally a mix of standard packettes, deluxe sample and travel sizes (my Psssst is the size can sold in stores in the travel section) and often a full sized item. As I state in the video, I picked what I genuinely wanted to try, not necessarily the best DOLLAR value items available to me.







Fiafini Skincare Divine Hydration Marula Oil Moisturizer is fantastic- it moisturizes AND firms skin and calms my redness INSTANTLY! No more looking like W.C. Fields..... Marula oil is sadly overlooked by most companies. This is one of those instances where I was intrigued by a product for my sensitive skin but didn't want to buy something and have it not work. So yes, I got a packette sample- don't care- I wanted to test it before dropping $40 on a product I couldn't use. That's what samples are FOR, not to accumulate a Sephora in my house. (Which I've done anyway......)

Finally, complete complexion perfection with the moisture and anti-aging actives your skin craves. Get the divine skin of your dreams with fiafini. A hydrating and healing moisturizer that firms, minimizes wrinkles and restores elasticity, divine hydration moisturizer is the triple-targeted solution to the most common signs of aging. Formulated to be ultra-hydrating yet never heavy, this moisturizer helps soothe and calm redness with prickly pear, avocado and evening primrose extracts, while also reducing environmental stress on the skin. Powerful antioxidants marula oil and vitamin E fight fine lines and wrinkles, and help visibly firm and lift the skin for complete perfection, and as with all fiafini products, our moisturizer will always be free of fragrance, alcohol, mineral oil, and all parabens. No animal testing and vegan.

Control Corrective Redness Relief Serum
For sensitive, inflamed or Rosacea-prone skin. Botanical extracts plus skin-balancing vitamins reduce trans epidermal water loss, which in turn helps strengthen and balance the skin, reduce redness and inhibit future flare-ups. I'll be honest- can't tell you what I thought because it got eaten by my bathroom before I got to try it..... WHAH!!!!!!

 I'm normally not a huge fan of really sweet scents but for some reason I am ADDICTED to Pink Sugar. Maybe it's the addition of the peppery, spicy undernotes that elevate it from little girl to sexy. This is what Bath & Body Works scents strives to achieve- a playful sweet scent for adults.

For blowout gals this is a lifesaver and maybe even more sore for those of us who prefer to hit the snooze button.

Home Dermarolling Is THE Hot New Thing - Get Yer Angelina Jolie On


Great For:
• Large Pore Reduction
• Dark Spot Reduction
• Treating Wrinkles
• Repairing Damaged Tissue
• Removing Surgical Scars 
• Removal of Stretch Marks
• Acne Scars Treatment
• Treating Hyper Pigemntation
• Stimulates Collagen Production
• Improves Skin Elasticity
• Cellulite Reduction



Until recently this was an expensive dermatologist treatment, but now if you have the guts, you can do it at home fairly cheaply!

If you have less than perfect skin including unsightly acne scars, loss of plumpness, uneven pigmentation, and crepeyness then you probably know how much having less than perfect skin can get you down.  Dermaroller, a treatment you may or may not have heard of – with celebrity fans such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt- can effectively stimulate the skin into producing its own collagen, helping with scarring, wrinkling, and general loss of tone.
The fine micro needles of the Dermaroller device penetrate the epidermis to stimulate collagen and cell renewal at a sub-dermal level, prompting the skin to, literally, heal itself.  Old acne scars can receive a much needed jump start and crepey skin, especially the fine, thin skin that covers the décolleté and around the eyes, will start to improve in tone after just a few Dermaroller treatments.

You don’t need to worry about the risk of infection either because salons use a hygienically sealed Dermaroller device for each new client, so the treatment is perfectly safe.  Do be prepared for your face to go numb beforehand though, as a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to the treated area to ensure the procedure is as painless as possible. 
Although tiny needles are attached to the device – which looks a bit like a mini medieval instrument of torture – there is no pain, partly due to the evenly distributed weight of the needles, their small size, and also because of the topical numbing cream.
A treatment which makes thousands of microscopic holes in your face may not sound like the smartest idea for your skin; but that’s precisely how the treatment works, prompting the skin into producing new collagen and elastin.

The whole treatment should take approximately one hour in total, since the anaesthetic will have to be applied for about thirty minutes before the treatment can commence.  Regular treatments are best if you’re seeking an improvement on old acne scars, but even after one treatment you should see your entire skin tone looking brighter, plumper, and generally more even. 
Those keeping a keen eye on the purse strings will find a Dermaroller treatment is fairly cost effective, especially considering the results –with a course of several sessions working out even cheaper – making it an affordable treatment that’s easy for anyone who cares about their skin to try out.
If you’ve got stubborn scarring that just won’t shift and is ruining your confidence, then it really might be worth giving a few sessions of Dermaroller treatments a try, to see if the treatment can flatten out the pockmarks and scars that are, unfortunately the unsightly legacy of acne.
Equally, if anti-ageing is more your concern, then most people will certainly see an improvement after two to three sessions of the treatment, with a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and deeper expression lines like frown lines and nose to mouth grooves, looking more plumped up and revitalised as well.
And if you have stretch marks you loathe the sight of, then regular Dermaroller treatmentcan help to improve those too, it doesn’t just have to be limited for use on your face, and can be used all over your body to smooth out uneven pigmentation, marks, slackness, and tone.

Revitagen-FX Stretch Mark and Skin Repair Formula


  • Diminish the appearance of stretch marks
  • Firm and tone the skin
  • Reduce discoloration of the skin
  • Moisturizes and hydrates
This really does work, but you MUST follow the instructions and use it daily. My stretch marks are smoothing out and the skin ripples are tightening which I attribute to an increase in collagen production where I've applied it. The reddish/purplish ones are lightening to a pale pink and I hope to see these results continue. I recently got a dermaroller and I plan to use it on those areas, I imagine that will really speed things along. Not to complain, I actually expected it to take much longer to get visible and tangible results, both of which I got in a few weeks. It takes very little product, so it will last a good amount of time.
