[Re] fresh Skin Therapy - Peptide & Intense Eye Recovery Serum

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Today, I want to share with you a new company I had the opportunity of working with again. [Re] fresh Skin Therapy, makes some pretty cool products - acid peels, gel peels, cleansers, moisturizers, and so much more! Today, I got to try out their new Peptide + Intense Eye Recovery Serum, and am starting to really love it.

Who Is [re] fresh Skin Therapy?

"Created in 2013 by a busy power couple from Boston with a combined 30 years in the beauty industry, [re]fresh Skin Therapy’s philosophy is real results from highly effective therapies which are safe and natural, for healthy skin. Our goal is to use only environmentally-friendly products and business practices whenever possible."

What sets us apart:

"Our products are produced in the USA using state-of-the-art equipment at a climate controlled, FDA-registered facility operated using cGMP (Certified Good Manufacturing Practices)."

"We regularly conduct stringent quality control tests to ensure high-quality and safe products. Some of the tests include: pH balance tests, Viscosity tests, Appearance (aesthetics) tests, Odor tests, Microbial tests, Stability tests and Selective Heavy Metal tests."

"We use USP-grade ingredients which are all botanically-derived; we never test on animals or use animal-derived ingredients."

"Our products are always free from Parabens, Perfumes, Dyes, and Phlalates."

I love that they put a lot of time into their products, I don't know of many companies who put their products through quite as many test's as this company does. I have also been a very strong advocate of buying and reviewing products that are paraben free. It is a must in a product for me, so I like that this is free of all those harsh products. 

I had no idea that they had been around so long in the beauty industry, but glad I am having the opportunity to try them out now.

The Products/My Thoughts

From their site...

   Refresh Skin Therapy's Peptide+ Intense Eye Recovery Serum is a dynamic and effective dark circle elimination treatment. Using an active ingredient mix of peptides derived from purified soy, rice, and yeast, the formula positively stimulates blood circulation away from the eyes to dramatically reduce dark circles and puffiness.

Benefits 
• Reduces dark circles and puffiness around the eyes 
• Strengthens connective tissue around the eye 
• Restores important moisture levels 
• Soothes and softens the skin 
• Is safe and gentle to use around the eyes 

More details:
The specific peptides used in this formula help improve microcirculation by strengthening the layers of the skin, 
which regulate collagen formation and elasticity. Thanks to the rejuvenated skin cells, increased microcirculation within the delicate blood vessels. improves the appearance of dark circles. 


The Natural Plant Extract and Hyaluronic Acid base delivers a moisturizing boost to dry skin. Seaweed is rich in antioxidants and protective value. Hyaluronic Acid is a natural moisturizer that attracts and retains moisture from the environment.

The first think I noticed when I received this serum, was the packaging! It is is super cute, creative, and versatile. I love how all you have to do is take off the cap, unlock it (by turning it at the top), and you're ready to go. You receive a generous amount of the product for the price. It is a clear gel, and goes on clear and clean.

After the first use (seen below) I significantly noticed my eyes weren't as dark and lines were starting to fade. I am amazed at the results I have received so far, and it will definitely be a staple product in my skin care regimen.

I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I can't wait to see the long term effects it will have for my skin, and I am happy to say I think [Re] fresh Skin Therapy has made another wonderful product.

If you wish to purchase this product you can purchase it on their official site or purchase it on Amazon which is currently $29.50 and Prime eligible by going here.

I want to know! What do you think about the company [Re] fresh Skin Therapy and their products? Have you ever tried any of these products before? If not, which one do you think would be your favorite? I love hearing your questions and comments below. So, feel free to leave them below.

Cellessence Anti-Aging Duo + GIVEAWAY & COUPON CODE

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a wonderful day so far. Today, I want to talk to you about two amazing product's I came across, that I just have to tell you about. I was super excited to try these new brands of anti-aging products from Cellessence. I received Cellessence Anti-Aging Face Cream & Nuvacell Wrinkle Repair Eye Serum. Both of which are said to have amazing benefits for the skin. I have tried a lot of different anti-aging products in the past, but none quite like these.

Cellessence Anti-Aging Face Cream

The first item I received was the Cellessence Anti-Aging Face Cream. I immediately noticed the packaging which gives it that high-end feel, along with the ingredients in the product. The ingredients focus on hydration, (I desperately need this!), antioxidants, and stimulating DNA Repair just to name a few. To those who don't know, DNA Repair helps to rid of wrinkles and loss of that natural glow your skin gives you.  So far, I am very intrigued!

I proceeded to rub the cream onto my face and neck. Note, each time I have used it, I did it before putting on my makeup. I like how it absorbed into my skin ever so quickly; it has a thick texture but a lightweight feel. I also really liked that it didn't leave my face feeling greasy. The problem with a lot of anti-aging creams is they hydrate your face, and leave it greasy. I appreciate that Cellessence understands the concept of hydration without having to make a cream greasy. 

I also thought the smell was nice as well, and was very light. Everyone can have a different opinion on how a cream smells, but to me the best way I can describe it is a light citrus smell, and EXACTLY like fruity pebbles. It's funny because I even had my husband say the same thing, without telling him anything I was thinking.

It's only been a few week's, but I already notice a huge improvement in the texture of my skin. I have a problem keeping it hydrated, and by using this that's no longer an issue. I also feel as if my skin has that natural glow I've been missing. Having anemia my skin tends to lack color, and while I am by no means saying it's a cure, it help's to give my skin that boost it needs. 

If you wish to purchase the product you can buy it on https://www.buycellessence.com/. It retails on their site for $99.95. However, with my limited time coupon code it would only be $49.98, which is a steal in my opinion. They also have an anti-aging package you can buy it in as well, which you can use the code for. You can use the code for almost all of their products accept for the talc & soothing mist. 

To use that coupon code type in "AMB50" at checkout where it say's "Enter your coupon here."

Overall Product Score: 4.7*

Nuvacell Wrinkle Repair Eye Serum

The next product I received, was their Nuvacell Wrinkle Repair Eye Serum. This item I was really excited to try as well, because as much as I hate to admit - dark circles and fine lines are starting to become an issue as I age. 

I love the container it comes in. It's very sanitary, I don't have to worry about washing my hands afterwards, and it always dispenses the perfect amount. It also has a light smell, accept the smell is very different. It smells just like you are stepped into a field of oranges. 

I found the science behind it very interesting. 75% of users had a decrease of wrinkles & fine lines, 93% decrease of dark circles, and 82% an increase of Collagen Productions. As for me? Since I've been using it, I've definitely had a decrease of dark circles. My skin also looks more rested around my eyes since I've been using it. I haven't noticed my fine lines diminishing, but I still think it may be too early. I look forward to seeing as I get older, how the serum continues to work for me.

If you wish to purchase the product you can buy it on https://www.buycellessence.com/. It retails on their site for $79.95. However, with my limited time coupon code it would only be $39.98, which is a steal in my opinion. They also have an anti-aging package you can buy it in as well, which you can use the code for. You can use the code for almost all of their products accept for the talc & soothing mist. 

To use that coupon code type in "AMB50" at checkout where it say's "Enter your coupon here."

Overall Product Score: 4.5*

I am really impressed with both of the products, and I am so glad I got to try them out. I look forward to trying out their other product's in the future, and would highly recommend you giving them a go. Don't forget to use "AMB50" to save 50% and/or you can try your luck below and WIN the duo which is a $180 VALUE!

Beauty Box 5 - "Trying It Out" July Edition

Hello Everyone! So, I have been putting off reviewing this because I have had other products coming in. However, I decided to give Beauty Box 5 another month because I only had to pay shipping. I actually liked this box a lot more than last month, and now I am on the fence about rather I want to subscribe for next month.

Beauty Box 5 is a monthly subscription box that includes 5 products each month (hence the name) for a $12 charge. I think it is a wonderful box for people beginning to get into beauty products or wanting to get into the beauty box subscription world.

If you decide you like what I received in my box and wish to sign up for beauty box 5 you can do so HERE.

HASK Argan Oil Instense Deep Conditioning Hair Treatment

"Plagued with dry, damaged hair? No more! Restore your mane to all its shining glory with this thick, nourishing cream that delivers results that last for two weeks!" There are some things I like and some things not so much. The things I don't like has to do with the packaging. I thought it was just Beauty Box 5's choice to use the packet, but when you buy the product it comes like this as well. Yet on the directions it says you only need half of it. I'm not one for saving foil packets, simply because it gets messy or dried out. So, its either use it all or not at all. As far as the product itself, I love it! I think Argan Oil is very good for the hair and a staple in my hair care routine. PRICE: $2.49

Revlon Bold Lacquer Mascara

"Thanks to its lacquered formula, this mascara not only delivers volume and definition, but actually lifts lashes - no curler necessary. Oh, and did we mention that it doesn't smudge or flake? A total steal." This is being raved about by all the bloggers right now, and I have to agree that I like it. It does everything it says it does as long as you put two or three coats on. 

PRICE: $7.99

H2O Plus Aqualibrium Marine Cleansing Gel

"Put your best face forward! Made with sea salt and energizing marine botanicals, this oil-free cleanser gently exfoliates while protecting your pretty cheeks from free radicals and environmental damage." Cleans well and doesn't strip the skin of all its natural goodness. It doesn't foam but rather a gel, so it just depends on what kind of face washes you prefer, rather you will like it or not. Even though I prefer foams, I do like the way it feels on my face. PRICE: $18 (for 4fl oz.)

Body Drench Candy Licious Lips

"Give your lips a treat! Infused with beeswax, coconut oil, and vitamin E, these candy-flavored lip balms taste like the real thing (without the guilt or sugar rush) and are utterly irresistible to men and small children, so apply with caution!" I could only find this one place online and they sold it as a 3-pack for $21, so I am hoping I can locate the other flavors (specifically cotton candy) at Sally Beauty Supply. I love the way it taste and feels on my lips. PRICE $3.99

SimySkin Anti-aging Eye Serum

"Protect those pretty peepers! With the help of nanomedicine, vitamin B12, and folic acid, this revolutionary serum targets the biggest skin concerns in each ago group to combat puffy under eyes, diminish wrinkles, and regenerate skin cells." I am not sure what is up with beauty boxes and eye serum's lately, but they are always welcome, and when I find that magical one that makes these fine lines go away I will be sure to report! Who knows maybe this is the one? We shall see. What's cool about this one, is its designed for my age (barely) 18-25. 

PRICE: $70 (for a 1oz)
