Hot Drugstore Find of the Week: Lumene Premium Beauty Rejuvenating Day and Night Cream

Hello Divas!

Here is a quote tweeted by Soledad Obrien that I have pasted on my mirror:  "Its your life to live. Make mistakes. Love your enemies and make a statement. Don't worry about people! Make yourself happy!"

Of course I am a Lumene skincare fan and I have a new Lumene obsession to share.  Lumene's Premium Beauty Day and Night Cream.  

Lumene's Premimum Beauty skin care line is for women with mature skin, 50 years plus.  I am nowhere near that age, but I have been testing this line and I love it for my skin!   These moisturizing creams contain Sea buckthorn oil and it consists of Omega fatty acids (3, 6, 7, 9).  Sea Buckthorn oil promotes skin renewal while the antioxidants in the nectar protect the skin against free radicals. The products also contain a firming peptide compound that promotes collagen and elastin production. 

The night cream claims to firm the skin and protect it against pigment changes.  My experience with this cream has been phenomenal!  I love this cream because it is so luxurious.  It makes my skin feel like butter.  Also, when I awake in the morning, my skin looks rested and relaxed.  Plus it does not break me out which is always a plus.  A little goes a long way, so it will probably last for at least 6 months.   

The Day cream contains SPF 15, which is all important.  I find it is also very rich and gives my skin a nice sheen.  It claims to protect against pigmentation and to reduce wrinkles.

Night cream texture. Creamy.

Day cream texture. A more dense texture but very light on the skin.

I am in my 30s and live a very high stress life.  These creams help me maintain healthy and beautiful skin while also helping me to be proactive against the skin aging process.  I love them!

Lumene's Premium Beauty Day and Night creams retail for $29.99 each and you can purchase them at any CVS.

Toodles!

Boscia Eye Treatment: Preservative Free Eye Treatment

Hello Divas!

I hope life is treating you well.

I have been working for 8 days straight and to say I am exhausted in an understatement.  However, thanks to Boscia Enlivening Amino-AG eye cream, I don't look like it.  This Boscia eye treatment is preservative free and contains Alanine and Glutamine, two powerful antioxidants; Jojoba Leaf for softness and age-prevention; Coix Seed to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles; and most importantly jujube fruit which smoothes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

I have been using the cream day and night and I love it!  The cream is smooth and non-irritating.  It glides on like silk and quickly absorbs into the skin.  I have noticed my under eye area is smoother and I just don't look tired in the mornings, even with only 6 hours of sleep.

You only need to use a teeny tiny amount to get the job done.  A 0.5 ounce bottle of Boscia Enlivening eye treatment retails for $38 and you can purchase it online here or at any Sephora.

Good Ole Olive Oil

Hello Divas!

I hope your weekend was fabulous! Mine was hectic, but good. Well last week, I was visiting one of my absolute fav beauty blogs, Shake Your Beauty, and Ms. Tia announced that she was preggers with.....a little girl. Yeeeaaah! She asked her readers for recommendations of products she can use during her pregnancy. Well ladies, I recommended Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I tell you E.V. Olive Oil is a must have, all natural, beautifying moisturizer that rocks! When I became pregnant, my Aunt recommend that I use Olive Oil to prevent stretch marks. She said it would loosen my skin so that it could stretch freely and it would keep my skin moisturized. When you have a baby growing inside your belly, your skin becomes very itchy and dry. Well I massaged my belly, legs, arms, breast, and rear with E.V. Olive Oil every morning and night and two pregnancies later, I do not have one stretch mark! Now you see why I am absolutely in love with E.V. Olive Oil. I also discovered that I could use it on my hair for moisture and sheen. But if you do use it on your hair, only use a teeny bit. I also used it on my face when my skin was extra dry. For some reason, while pregnant, the skin on my face was super dry when normally I have oily skin. Well the E.V. Olive Oil moisturized my face and did not leave it oily. My skin just glowed! And after doing some research, I discovered that Extra Virgin Olive Oil has antioxidants and is a great anti-aging moisturizer for the face! What more can you ask for?? Again, my skin glowed everywhere I used the E.V. Olive Oil! I can't rave about E.V. Olive Oil enough! I still use E.V. Olive Oil when my skin or hair is dry or I just need that glow factor. I use Pompeian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You can purchase it at any grocery store. Divas try E.V. Olive Oil and I know you will love it too!
