Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener

You’ve tried everything to fight dark spots, but nothing has really worked? Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener, a clinically proved skin brightening cream, is your ally in fighting the appearance of any kind of hyperpigmentation on your skin.

Why do dark spots even appear in the first place? When the pigment in our skin called melanin goes out of control, we get dark spots. There can be different reasons why this happens – sun exposure which stimulates melanin production; some food, such as parsley and lime, that contain psolarens; acne scarring, and even pregnancy. Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener is a natural treatment cream created by an experienced team of researchers and scientists to bring you the solution to your problems and let you achieve the flawless skin you’ve always wanted.

While other face treatment creams can contain dangerous chemicals that can be bad for your skin and make the situation even worse, the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener only contains natural ingredients: Alpha-Arbutin, Belides, BioWhite, BV-OSC, Net-DG and Niacinamide.

Alpha-Arbutine is a powerful skin whitener and evener which has been proved to work faster and more efficiently than other similar ingredients. Belides is an all natural lightening agent derived from daisies, which can also help to eliminate freckles. Biowhite is a skin whitener made out of plant extracts, such as mulberry and grape juice. It inhibites tyrosinase, an amino acid which induces our body to produce melanin. Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener also includes BV-OCS, a vitamin which protects DNA, encourages collagen synthesis and works as an anti-oxidant, other than serving as a powerful whitener agent. It’s also been proved to fight acne in 80% of research partecipants, and protect cells from dangerous UVB rays. Net-DG (or dipotassium glycyrrhizinate) is the best ingredient out there for soothing sensitive skin and inhibiting the release of histamine; it is a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient derived from licorice roots, and it is known to effectively stop dangerous enzymes from destroying the connective tissue in the skin. Another main ingredient of the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener is Niacinamide, an anti-inflammatory agent full of vitamin B, which has been proved to solve acne problems.

Since natural products like the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener contain ingredients that can be damaged by contact with air, Ageless Derma has created a unique packaging with an airless pump to prevent any kind of corruption of the product, without the use of dangerous preservatives.

There’s no reason to risk or spend money on other useless, potentially harmful treatments – if you’re looking for a safe, all-natural and tested way to get rid of your skin’s imperfection, try out Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener now!

Essence Cutie Mac Cutie

Essence Cutie Mac Cutie is the newest addiction to my lipstick collection. I'd originally purchased it to be a giveaway prize, but unfortunately while I was in the store swatching dozens of lipsticks it fell, the cap flew away and the tip got broke :( nothing major though!
Anyway, Cutie Mac Cutie is a pink glittery lipstick with a frost finish; it has a creamy consistency and it glides on very smoothly on the lips. I really like its texture! It has an average staying power of 2-3 hours, after which it'll start to fade gradually. I think that it can look a bit too much if applied all over the lips; I like to dab it just on the center of my lips to make them look plumpier and more 'tridimensional'. In the photos, however, you see me with the product applied all over the lips, just to give you the idea of the shade and finish!

I think that it's a very nice lipstick for the (very, very) low price and I think that Essence should add more shades to their lipstick line, because there are just a few nice ones while the other look a bit dated and 'Nineties'.

Have you ever tried any Essence lipstick? What di you think about them?

Tangle Teezer

Today I want to introduce you to a product that has completely changed my life since I started using it about a month ago: the Tangle Teezer! Designed by Shaun P, a hair stylist with over 30 years of experience, the Tangle Teezer is definitely an innovative hair brush. It has a kind of a strange shape: it doesn't have a handle, but it's designed to fit perfectly in the palm of your hands. The bristles are not all the same length - some are shorter and some are a bit longer, and I think that's why it works so well! The Tangle Teezer is the best I've ever tried for detangling my hair. I have long and tangly hair, and for all my life brushing my hair has been something I dreaded doing. It basically meant struggling to loosen the knots and suffering for about 20 minutes! That also was one of the reasons I didn't enjoy washing my hair. I am sincere when I say that since I started using the Tangle Teezer, brushing them is a pleasure.

What do you think about the Tangle Teezer? Have you ever tried anything like it?

How to get natural pink lips

Today I’m bringing you some tips and tricks to achieve better looking lips. Not everybody has naturally pink, plump lips - over time, lips can get darker or lighter. The reasons are various – stress, smoke, UV rays, less blood circulation in the lips, drinking coffee and so on. Anyway, dull lips can be transformed in rosy, attractive lips super quickly! You can achieve nice and smooth looking lips at home, using natural products you probably already have: before you ask for professional help, you can follow these simple steps!

Taking care of your lips

First of all, you need to exfoliate your lips: exfoliation increases blood flow to the lip area, so the lips will naturally look more rosy and plump. Try gently scrubbing your lips with a mix of sugar and oil. The grains of sugar will help remove the dry flakes on your lips, while the oil will nourish them and make them more plump. To do this, you can use a toothbrush or simply your fingers.

If you have the habit of constantly licking your lips, stop! Licking them will only make them drier.

Lightening your lips

Some good ways to lighten your lips are massaging them with a solution of lemon juice and almond or olive oil, or gently rubbing a slice of cucumber on them. You’ll soon notice that your lips look less dark and dull. If you notice your lips are getting darker, never forget to use sunscreen on them. Lips need protection from sunrays too!

Nourishing your lips

One of the most interesting “recipe” for getting good looking lips I found online consists of mixing two raspberries with a spoon of honey and two spoons of aloe vera gel, then applying the solution onto the lips for 5 minutes. You can do this even every day!

To make your lips more of a pink colour, you can apply carrot, beetroot, or pomegranate juice. The best natural ingredients to nourish your lips are honey, almond oil, olive oil, butter and milk. Also, try and drink as much water as you can: not only your lips, but your whole body will benefit from this.

Of course, you can also use make-up to achieve the perfect lip look. A very simple trick to make the lips appear fuller is applying lipgloss or a shimmery lipstick that’s lighter than the colour of your lips only on the center of your lips. Another way to make your lips stand out, especially if you’re wearing a bold lipstick, is applying a light concealer on the borders of your lips.

The last (and most obvious) piece of advice is: try and use lipbutters as much as you can! I always carry one with me and I apply it whenever I have free time. My favourites are the Nivea ones. They come in lots of different scents, they’re unexpensive, easy to get hold of and most of all they do their job! My absolute favourite is the Chamomile & Calendula one.

What’s your favourite way to take care of your lips?
