Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Serum by UNT,Inc.



Wrinkles be gone!  Ok, I can't say my wrinkles are gone just yet but I have been using this Anti-Wrinkle Serum by UNT,Inc. for a few weeks now along with their Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Cream and I am really impressed with my results so far.
The serum is a basically a glorified Vitamin C Serum because it also contains Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Gotu Kola and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (antioxidant).  These powerful anti-aging ingredients work in harmony to hydrate the skin, firm, rejuvenate, diminish fine lines & wrinkles and help eliminate dark spots.  All that in one little serum!
I have oily skin and this lightweight serum absorbs quickly with no greasy residue.  It also wear really well under make-up.  Since I have only been using it a few weeks I haven't noticed much change in my fine lines but my overall skin tone does seem to be brighter and my skin feels more smooth.  I would say this serum would work for all skin types and since it targets so many skin issues I think it makes an ideal Anti-Aging Serum!  Plus, using this serum in conjunction with their Anti-Wrinkle Cream is sure to deliver some really impressive results.

Make sure you check out untsolutions.com if you are interested in the Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Serum!  You can also purchase on Amazon.com...

Island's Miracle Ultra Omega-3 Fish Oil Giveaway



I think just about everyone has heard about the benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil by now.  However, if you have been living under a rock or stranded on a deserted island then there are a few things you should know...
According to WedMD getting enough Omega-3 Fatty Acids in your diet is can help with several health issues.  It can help lower elevated Triglyceride levels, help with Rheumatoid Arthritis symptoms, Asthma and even Alzheimer's Disease.  It can also give you healthy, shiny, lustrous hair and leave your skin glowing and hydrated, among other things.
When looking for an Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement make sure you pick one that has removed heavy metals, PCB's (chlorine compound found in water), and any other potential harmful toxins.  That's what makes this one from Island's Miracle and excellent choice!  I also like that they add lemon oil to their Omega-3 so you don't have that dreaded fishy taste or fishy burps, yuck I hate that!
Lucky for you Island's Miracle is sponsoring a Giveaway for my readers!  Simply use the widget below and enter to win a FREE bottle of their Ultra Omega-3 Fish Oil.  Giveaway starts 05/12/15 @ 6 p.m. PST and ends 06/21/15 @ 6 p.m. PST.  Sorry, U.S. Residents only!

Rodan & Field's REDEFINE + ACUTE CARE-Review


I had been dying to try out this new skincare line by Rodan + Fields (yes, it's the same gals that created the cult favorite Proactiv) so I was beyond excited when iFabbo sent it to me to try it out!  I have been using it for about 5 weeks now and overall I am happy with the results but some of the products definitely were show stoppers while others I am still on the fence about.  

What is it?  It's called Rodan & Field's REDEFINE and is a skincare regime for the the appearance of fine lines, pores and loss of firmness  The kit contains 4 products, Daily Cleansing Mask, Pore Minimizing Treatment, Triple Defense Cream and Overnight Restorative Cream and the retail price is $193.00.

Daily Cleansing Mask
I cannot even tell you how much I LOVE the Daily Cleansing Mask!  Of course masks are my favorite skincare product but this mask cleanser is really unique.  All you do is apply a thin layer of the clay-based cleansing mask and it dries really quickly, about 2 minutes, and draws out all the grime from your pores but it doesn't strip the skin of it's necessary moisture.  It also contains microbeads that lightly exfoliate your skin as you wash it off.  All your left with is super clean, soft and smooth skin.  Love it!


Pore Minimizing Treatment
The Pore Minimizing Treatment is another product that I am in love with!  It's basically a alcohol-free toner but not only does it exfoliate pore clogging dead skin cells using  polyhydroxy acids but it also helps reduce the appearance of pores.  I don't really have overly large pores so I can't say that I noticed a difference in my pore size or appearance but I love the way my skin felt after using it.  Love it!!


Triple Defense Cream
This is one of the products that I am on the fence about.  This is basically the day time moisture out of the skincare line.  It contains anti-aging ingredients and SPF 30  to help reduce lines and wrinkles and also helps firm the skin.  Overall it's a great moisturizer.  It hydrates really well and leaves my skin feeling soft but within just a few days it also made my face break out.  I kept using it for a couple of weeks thinking it might work itself out but to no avail.  Even though I am 41 I still have oily, acne prone skin so I think this was just a little too intense for my skin type.  However, I decided to start using it on my decollete and I have been having really good results with that so far.  I have had a few minor blemishes but nothing that has made want to stop using it.  So, that's why I am still on the fence.


Overnight Restorative Cream
This is the other product that I am on the fence about.  This is the overnight treatment that is supposed to leave your skin super-hydrated, firmer and diminished lines by morning.  I was only able to use this product a few nights as well before it started breaking me out.  I think both the Triple Defense Cream and this Overnight Restorative Cream are just a little too intense for my oily, acne-prone skin.  I even tried to use this on my decollete but it broke me out there as well.  As much as I wanted to love this particular product it's just too powerful for me.  So sad... :(



And now, for my new Holy Grail product...

Acute Care for Expression Lines
I was also sent this box of Acute Care for Expression Lines by Rodan & Fields.  What is it?  It's magic that's what!  In all seriousness, they are patches that are applied at night to freshly cleansed and dry skin and directly onto a wrinkle.  In the morning when you peel off the patch there is actually a noticeable difference.   
The patches have Liquid Cone Technology which feel like little needles when they first touch your skin but they quickly melt into your skin when you smooth the patch out.  Line erasing peptides and other age defying ingredients are literally melted deep into your skin thanks to that Liquid Cone Technology.
I thought leaving these on overnight would be irritating but I didn't notice them on at all and they stay on until you peel them off.  The result lasts a full day or longer but with continued use you are supposed have longer-lasting results.  I love, love, love these things!  The Retail Price is $220.00 for 10 pairs.  At that price I would expect some magical results so at least I can say the results are indeed magical!  Holy Grail quality for sure!

If you are interested in learning more about Rodan & Field's REDEFINE or ACUTE CARE head over to rodanandfields.com.  Overall, I am really impressed with this skincare line.  While 2 of the products may not have been the best choice for my type of skin the other 2 were fantastic.  I think they are excellent quality products and would love to mix and match some of the products from the other three skincare regimes.

Classic Wine Chiller by The Keystone Organisation



I think these things are one of the best inventions ever!  If your into wine in any sort of capacity then you simply must get yourself one of these.  
The Classic Wine Chiller will keep your bottle of wine at the prefect drinking temperature and the wine aerator to will enable it to breathe for a better taste so you to pour a perfect glass of aerated wine!  Now that is something every wine connoisseur can appreciate!
The Classic Wine Chiller Rod is crafted from high-quality, FDA approved 304 stainless steel, which happens to be the same stainless steel winemakers use in wine storage, wine fermentation, and wine blending equipment!  How cool is that?  The Wine Chiller Rod also fits any standard wine bottle and will keep it chilled for up to an hour.  I have used it on various wine bottles and I have not had any issues with the fit.  If you are serving a red wine that doesn't need to be chilled you still use the wine aerator, pourer, and stopper!

If you know any wine lovers this is the prefect gift idea!!  For more information or to purchase go to Amazon.com.

Vitamin C Eye Gel by La Beatue Pure



This Vitamin C Eye Gel by La Beatue Pure has definitely satisfied my eye cream/gel addiction.  It does everything a great eye gel should...reduces eye puffiness, helps diminish dark circles, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and even helps firm sagging skin!  Plus, I love to keep mine in my refrigerator so it's nice and cold when I apply it and it feels super refreshing, especially in the a.m.!  
The Vitamin C Eye Gel is very lightweight and absorbs into the skin almost instantly.  I am not sure what I was expecting this gel to smell like but I guess based on the packaging I thought it would have a light citrus scent but it actually smells like Cucumbers!  I love the smell of Cucumbers so it was a pleasant surprise.  
The gel contains powerful, all Natural and Organic, anti-aging ingredients other than Vitamin C such as hyaluronic acid, aloe, jojoba oil and Vitamin E.  Not only do all these ingredients add moisture to the skin but they also helps plumping, regenerating and firming of the skin.  Yep, it's amazing stuff!


La Beatue Pure has a pretty informative website that is totally worth checking out and their products can be found on Amazon.com (their Vitamin C Serum is amazing too!).

Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea by Life & Food



If you already follow my blog then you know how much I love Matcha Green Tea!  However, if your new to GlamRiver then I have to tell you..."I love Matcha Green Tea!".  
If you are not familiar with Matcha Green Tea there is a difference between regular Green Tea and Matcha Green Tea.  The plants for Matcha Green Tea are shade grown for about 3 weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed in processing.  The shaded growth produces more theanine and chlorophyll.  That's why Matcha is more effective for improving mental focus with its higher theanine content and looks a lot more green with more chlorophyll and tastes softer without stems and veins.
This Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea by Life & Food is a ceremonial grade green tea which is used for brewing the finest most flavorful Matcha Green Tea.  Because it's a premium grade tea it's not intended for cooking, the quality is so high that it is primarily reserved for tea ceremonies for it's full flavor, and health benefits.  Some of those benefits include: increased energy without the jitters, reduced stress and improved mental alertness, improved metabolism and help with weight loss, boosts immune system and reduces inflammation and helps cleanse the body of harmful elements.


Matcha Green Tea is a staple in my everyday life.  If it doesn't make it into my morning smoothie then I usually have a cup of straight Matcha Green Tea mid-morning to help get me through the day!  Love the stuff!  Go to lifefoodpro.com for more information or to purchase their Midori Spring Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea or you can also purchase it on Amazon.com.  I am also a huge fan of their vitamins and supplements which are really great quality so make sure you check those out as well!
