Current Facial Routine: Avon Gold Elmusion and Perricone MD

Hello Divas!

I hope your life is fabulous!

Saturday I went to a good friend's baby shower this weekend at The Original Chocolate Bar in Downtown Atlanta.  This place is insanely fabulous! But I digress. One of my friend's remarked on how good my skin looked. And you know I took a second look and it does look pretty good. Why?  Well for the past two months, I have been attacking my hyperpigmentation issues.  I have been using Perricone MD Pigment Corrective Moisturizer in the a.m and I am using Avon's Anew Ultimate Night Gold Emulsion at night.

I was given the opportunity from the folks at Perricone MD to try their Pigment Corrective treatment.  I had been using Perricone MD's Pigment Corrective for a while and had not noticed any improvement with discoloration.   However, the moisturizer did make my skin texture smooth and it works as a great primer for my make-up. I mean my make-up goes on like a dream.

I started using the Avon Gold Elmusion Ultimate Night treatment a month later.  I had been sent the treatment to try and had not used it.  But after doing research on treatments for anti-aging and hyper-pigmentation, this treatment kept getting rave reviews.  Users of Gold Emulsion kept singing its praises!  They loved how fast it worked and how well it improved their skintone.  So I gave it a try and boy I am happy I did!  This treatment is a gel and it quickly absorbs into your skin.  When applying Gold Emulsion, my face starts to tingle and I imagine that this tingle signifies that it is working its magic.  After two months of use, my skin is fuller and so smooth.  My face feels so supple and full of moisture.  Also, my hyper-pigmentation is almost gone.  I really do not need to use foundation.  I still use a teeny bit to cover new dark marks I have created from picking blackheads. Bad habit of mine.

Anyhoo, my new facial routine has resulted in great skin and I am elated!  Avon's Gold Emulsion regularly sales for $34 but it is now on sale for $29.  Divas if you purchase a treatment like this at any Department store or Sephora, you would spend $75 plus! What an amazing deal! And I promise you I am not just saying that because it was free. This stuff really is like Gold. It works. Do some research yourself.  Dr. Perricone's Pigment Corrective Moisturizer retails for $95. Yes very steep. Do I think it is worth the price. NO. (See I am being honest and I did receive this for free also! LOL!) Although it is great, you can find something less expensive that works a bit faster.

Do you have a new product you are using that you love and want to share? Please do tell. I am a product junkie! LOL!

Perricone Cold Plasma Giveaway

Hello Divas!

I hope your weekend was a blast! It is officially cold in Atlanta....brrrrr! Time to break out the Uggs.

Dr. Perricone is known for his anti-aging skincare products. He has been a frequent guest on Oprah and women swear by his products. In fact, my friend funkidivagirl has flawless skin and she uses Dr. Perricone's PerriconeMD skincare line.

Recently, Dr. Perricone created a new revolutionary skincare product called Cold Plasma. Cold Plasma is a universal skin care product that claims to work with every skin type! As stated on Perricone MD's website "Cold Plasma works through a patented ionic suspension carrier system which allows for your skin to extract from Cold Plasma’s formula according to your individual, unique needs."

Also this cream is proven to improve your skin's firmness, elasticity, clarity, radiance, wrinkles, dryness and skin tone. It sounds like a winner to me! A 1 fluid ounce of this product retails for $150! Ouch! However, the kind people at PerrconeMD are giving away a full size sample of this product to one lucky Luxetips reader. Whoohoo!

Simply leave a comment on this post stating why you feel you will benefit from using Perricone's Cold Plasma. The Cold Plasma Contest starts today and will end next Friday, October 30 at Midnight!

Good luck and Toodles!
