 L’Oréal Paris is a truly global beauty brand. Our signature phrase, “Because I’m Worth It”, is meant to inspire each and every woman to embrace her own unique beauty and reinforce her sense of self-worth.

 Christina's voice:
L'Oreal Paris has come out with t his Serum Corrector daily treatment called Youth Code. This product is to be used daily to help fade away dark spots and also illuminating the skin all in one. This product comes out white in a pump like bottle. It is fast absorbing and light-infusing serum gave my skin an instantly luminous appearance. I had to try this product out for 10 days just to see if it works or not before posting this review. I could tell that my skin looked a lot healthier just after the first 5 days. Underneath my eyes with no make up on was starting to fade away, like magic. This product would be great if you have uneven skin tone as well rather it be from post acne marks or sunspots, this product seem to really work when being used daily like instructed. After 12 weeks you should see dramatic results.

 Christina's Voice:

YO YO YO =)

Premier by dead sea Mud, SEAWEED and HONEY MASK is for anti-wrinkle force for normal to oily skin. First thing i noticed was the beautiful container it came in. The unique formula based on dead sea mineral mud,seaweed,collagen and honey to replenish the skin and increase its elasticity, making fine lines less apparent while simultaneously guarding against the formation of new wrinkles. I used this product twice, the smell alone had me hooked, but i could really feel a difference with this product on and off. Had my skin oh so soft. Your suppose to use this product at least 2-3 times a week. let it stay on for 10-15 minutes and rinse. the only thing i noticed with this product is it doesn't on muddy like most mud mask. ( like on the way it dries) easy to rinse as well.

Christina's Voice:
Premier Skin toner comes in a pump like bottle. This product makes your skin feel very purified  while toning and whitening your skin while helping maintain the skins natural balace with firming the pores on the skin. You just pump it on a cotton swab and dab around the face and let dry.


Retail value $45.00 

Christina's Voice:
The luxury dead sea mineral facial cleanser with micro grains. First thing i noticed was the wonder smell, kinda smelled like the mask that i mentioned above. This works great for the end of the day when im removing my  make up and i can feel the grains against my skin, and once rinsed off leaves my skin so smooth. 


Retail value $17.99

Review: Evercolor Poreless Face Defender

As a young girl growing up in upstate New York, Mally began experimenting with makeup on her mother, an incredible beauty who was and continues to be her biggest inspiration. From that early age, Mally’s parents instilled in her the philosophy that the things that make us different are the qualities that make us beautiful—a mantra that has guided Mally in her every pursuit.  Read more

Christina's voice:

Evercolor Poreless Face Defender is a product that goes over your face makeup. It's very light on the face so you dont even know your wearing it. This products purpose is to diffuse the look of pores, and fine lines. This product made my make up last longer, usually by the end of the day its all over or close to it. I love that it made my skin really silky and not look all dried up like powdered foundation. To help apply this product evenly you use the buffed-edge Japanese sponge.

Review: budhi teencare

budhi® Teencare, a new Unisex skin care line that is specially formulated for pre-teens and teens (ages 9-19). budhi products combine the highest quality ingredients science and nature have to offer and are free from harsh chemicals and potentially irritating essential oils.
budhi was founded by Monique Richards and Charlene Short, two former models and now moms to pre-teens and teenage children.  Frustrated in their efforts to find safe and effective skin care products for their own pre-teen and teen age children and disappointed with the lack of choices and false claims of products out in the marketplace, Richards and Short set out to formulate a unique skincare line for children and teens like their own.  As former models, Richards and Short know first-hand the importance of proper skin care.

budhi products which come in a clean, modern unisex package, are made in the USA and not tested on animals.

budhi® TEENCARE:  THE FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHIER SKIN
Gentle, Safe and Effective new Unisex Skin and Hair Care Line For Pre-Teens and Teens Combines Highest Quality Ingredients Science and Nature Have to Offer

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, August, 2012— budhi Skincare, LLC., a beauty company founded by two former models and moms in search of safe, effective skin and hair care products for their own adolescent children, announced today the national launch of budhi® Teencare, a skin and hair care line formulated for young people ages 9-19.  budhi Teencare offers products to help manage sensitive and changing skin with the highest quality ingredients that science and nature have to offer--products free from harsh chemicals and potentially irritating essential oils.

The foundation for healthier skin, budhi products are made from exclusive formulations that are gentle and effective.  Products are free of chemicals such as parabens, sodium laurel/laureth sulfates, synthetic fragrances and dyes and commonly irritating essential oils such as lavender, citrus and peppermint.  budhi products which come in a clean, modern unisex package, are made in the USA and not tested on animals.

The budhi Teencare collection includes:

·         clean shampoo
·         shine conditioner
·         daily facial cleanser
·         daily body & face wash
·         daily foaming face wash
·         daily shine control moisturizer  for face
·         1% salicylic acne pore treatment
·         5% benzoyl peroxide acne medication
·         lip balms both fruity and unscented
·         100 % cotton daily washcloth
·         budhi healthier skin starter kit is also offered which contains four budhi basics: daily body & face wash, daily shine control moisturizer, clean shampoo and shine conditioner.  The kit includes refillable, reusable bottles making it ideal for travel, gym, sleepovers and for any gift giving occasion.

Having appeared on the covers and pages of magazines such as Town & Country, Elle, Self, Vogue, Glamour and others, as well as being featured in advertising campaigns for some of the world’s most recognized brands, budhi Skincare co-CEO’s and co-founders Richards and Short know firsthand of the challenges and importance of proper skin care.

budhi Teencare was created out of a desire to help bridge the gap between the baby/child and adult categories for health conscious moms looking for skin care products free from harsh chemicals.  “Given our backgrounds we know how important proper skin care is in managing breakouts,” said Monique Richards. “We found many wonderful products when our children were young,” added Charlene Short, “but were frustrated and disappointed in the lack of healthy and effective product choices as they transitioned to the pre-teen and teenage years.  Adult acne brands were too harsh and drying, while some of the natural and organic brands were irritating and not very effective.”

The philosophy of budhi Teencare is embodied in its name: budhi is the Sanskrit word for intellect.  budhi wants kids to use their heads, to make responsible choices for the health of their body and to take a deeper look beyond the surface of skin. budhi’s goal is to help restore young people’s confidence in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggle to manage their skin issues.

budhi Teencare products are available at select salons and spa’s nationwide and online retailers including budhiskincare.com, Amazon.com, drugstore.com, lockerz.com and aylabeauty.com.  Products in the budhi collection range from a suggested retail price of $7.99-$29.99.

budhi is proud to partner with Youthcare, a Seattle-based nonprofit organization with a mission to build confidence and promote self-sufficiency for homeless and underserved youth throughout the western United States. budhi donates 10% of the net proceeds from the sale of budhi lip balm, fruity or unscented directly to Youthcare to support their outreach and programs.  For more information on YouthCare, visit www.youthcare.org.

Christina’s voice:
Budhi is a foundation for healthier skin care. Its specifically formulated for teens. We all know when growing up our skin was so much worst than it is now ( well usually) but budhi daily facial cleanser gently removes pore clogging oil, dead skin cells, dirt and make up. I used this product mainly to remove my make up. If I don’t remove my make up with some sort of cleaners ( a good one at that) my face will break out. Thanks to budhi Teencare daily facial cleanser my face is clean and fresh.
