Sterling Silver "Heart of the Ocean" Blue Swarovski Elements by Caperci



This necklace is stunning and immediately made me think of the necklace from the movie "Titanic", which is fitting since it was the inspiration behind it.  However, it also reminds me of the beautiful blue colors of the Caribbean Sea which I have been fortunate enough to see a few times.  It's a very brilliant and beautiful blue and a great piece to help add a touch of elegance to any outfit.
At 1.4'' L x 1.3'' W it's fairly large and somewhat of a show piece but also looks great with jeans and a t-shirt and jeans.  It's a real conversation piece.  This Sterling Silver "Heart of the Ocean" Blue Swarovski Elements by Caperci would make a really great gift idea for a that special someone!

Premium Gold Collagen Beauty Face Masks by iBeautyLabs



I adore face masks and I actually try to do several a week and depending on what's going on with my skin will dictate what type of mask I use.  I love a good clay mask when my skin is acting up and breaking out and I find that sheet masks tend to help calm the skin.  Then there are masks like this Premium Gold Collagen Beauty Face Mask by iBeautyLabs that are more of a silicone type texture and feel that can really help nourish and hydrate the skin.
However, this Premium Gold Collagen Beauty Face Mask by iBeautyLabs does more than just nourish and hydrate it also helps smooth skin texture and helps skin look and feel rejuvenated!  Since this mask is a little bit thicker and heavier than a normal mask it's definitely a mask that you will want to carve out at least 20-25 minutes where you can just sit back and relax.  I recommend using it right before bed or before a special occasion.  It really does leave skin feeling soft, smooth and hydrated and it helps smooth out skin texture and reduce inflammation.  It's almost like having a new face in just 20 minutes!
I am 42 but have very oily skin so I am usually dealing with a vast array of skin problems all at once.  From blemishes to dry skin and fine lines you name it I have it and I really do love my results from using these masks.  They really do tackle a multitude of skin issues all at once.
The price point for these masks is $24.99 for 5 which is a great deal considering that I have spent a lot more than that on face masks that don't provide even half of the results that these Premium Gold Collagen Beauty Face Masks do!
I highly recommend these masks.  If you have a special event coming up or maybe a vacation these would be a great way to get rejuvenated and glowing skin fast!

Matte Finish Eyeshadow & Silk Cream Lipstick by Make Beauty


I have been dying to try anything and everything by the up an coming brand Make Beauty so I was beyond excited when they sent me these adorable samples of their Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy and their Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster!
I love everything about this brand.  From the cool packaging to the fact that their products are paraben free and never tested on animals.  They also donate 10% of sales to the We See Beauty Foundation that supports women-led, worker-owned cooperative businesses across the Americas.  Plus, the products themselves seem to be exceptional as well!
The Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy is the perfect "your lip color but better" pinky-nude.  It's creamy, highly pigmented and looks and feels amazing.  A totally wearable formula and color that I think would look good on anyone and every skin color.  It's very moisturizing thanks to the Rosehip, Soybean and Safflower oils along with Aloe and Chamomile extracts for even more conditioning.  Easily a new favorite lipstick that has inspired me to buy the full size when I finish my mini!
The Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster is also a lovely product.  It's the perfect "all-over-the-lid" color that is a velvety matte powder that is not only very creamy but also very pigmented.  It's also a blendable, crease-resistant and oil-free formula which will stay looking freshly applied for hours!
This is another win for me and one that I will have to purchase the full size of as well!

EGF Serum-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum by Serum Ceuticals



Here is another great serum by Serum Ceuticals that I've been testing out.  This brand has quickly become a favorite and for a good reason.  I've been really impressed with everything that I've tested out so far and this EGF Serum-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum is another one I can add to the growing list.
This EGF-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum helps with a variety of skin issues by rejuvenating skin cell and stimulating cell proliferation.  It provides accelerated healing of skin, which makes it a perfect serum to use after a peel or intense exfoliation.  It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps lighten hyperpigmentation and can even help firm sagging skin.  All that and it also helps nourish and hydrate deprived skin.
Since this is a more intense serum I have only been using this in my evening skincare routine for intense hydration and to help reduce any fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, neck and decollete and then also in conjunction with my weekly chemical peels.  It really helps to heal my skin after a peel and it leaves my skin looking and feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and nourished.
I would recommend this serum for anyone with aging, sagging skin accompanied by fine lines and wrinkles as well as anyone that does any type of peel or intense exfoliation.  You will see an improvement in your skin almost overnight!  If you have oily skin like me you can use at night for any fine lines and wrinkles or where you have hyperpigmentation.  You can also use it anytime after you do any type of peel or exfoliation to help repair & nourish the skin.

Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech




As you already know Vitamin C is one of my favorite skincare products and Hyaluronic Acid is also right up there as one of my favorites.  This Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech contains both so I already knew I was going to love it.
I've been testing this one out for a few weeks now and as expected it has met all my expectations for a Vitamin C Serum!  It's a lightweight serum that absorbs really quickly in the skin which makes it perfect to wear under makeup.  For best results I like to use my Vitamin C Serum in both the morning and evening and I like to apply it to my face, neck and decollete.  The potent Vitamin C in this serum helps to lighten and brighten my skin and the Hyaluronic Acid is a great hydrator.  I have very oily skin so I can actually get away with just using this serum and not have to use any additional moisturizer if I don't want to.  However, if you have skin that tends to be on the drier side you will probably still want to add some additional moisture.
I also like this Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech because it's made in the USA in a FDA-inspected facility and is also Paraben and Cruelty Free.  If you are looking for a reasonably priced Vitamin C Serum I would recommend checking this one out!

MagicBox II Bluetooth 4.0 Portable Wireless Speaker by DKnight





I have a few portable little speakers that I've been pretty happy with but this one is now by far, my favorite.  First of all, it's the perfect size.  At 6 x 2 x 1.6 inches it's not too small and not too big and great for traveling.  However, most important is that is sounds pretty amazing for such a little speaker. It also has exceptional sounds quality.  If you didn't see the speaker and just heard it you would think it was coming out of a much larger speaker.  I also really like the style of this speaker, plus it's wireless and Bluetooth compatible!  Overall, I am impressed with this MagicBox II Bluetooth 4.0 Portable Wireless Speaker by DKnight!
I really recommend picking up this speaker for yourself  or it would also make a great gift idea for the music lover in your life!

Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals



If Retinol hasn't made it's way into your skincare routine yet I highly suggest that you add it in as soon as possible.  This Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals would make a great choice if your new to the whole Retinol thing.  With only 2.5% Retinol it's a great starting point and would be perfect to use if you are sensitive to Retinol and it's also made with 71% Organic ingredients!
Why should you be using Retinol?  Retinol is a great way to really combat signs of aging.  It can help slough away dead skin cells which means saying goodbye to hyperpigmentation and age spots and it can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and it just helps improve the overall texture and appearance of skin.
Since Retinol helps reveal newer, younger skin it's really important to use sunscreen while using any Retinol product.  I also usually only use products containing Retinol as part of my evening skincare routine to help reduce sun sensitivity.  After all, you don't to sun damage your new, younger looking skin!
Since this Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals is at a lower dose I like to apply this not only to my face, neck and decollete but I also use it around my eye area.  You can even use it on the tops of your hands if you have age spots there as well.  Or, try using it on the tops of you shoulders where there tends to be a lot of sun damage skin!
