Review: Elizabeth Grant Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads
Elizabeth Grant Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads are one of my latest passions. I’m always on the lookout for something that works on wrinkles and darkness under the eyes. It was a great stroke of good fortune that I was assigned to test and review this product. And I L-O-V-E it!
Elizabeth Grant’s claim is that “Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads target the sensitive skin below the eye with Elizabeth Grant’s superior formulation of Caviar Extract, sea proteins and Torricelumn. Rich in Caviar’s Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Torricelumn, Elizabeth Grant’s superior moisturizing compound, these eye pads improve the skin’s firmness and elasticity in the delicate eye contours.”

Review: Elizabeth Grant Prestige Gold falls short in our test
We tried one of Elizabeth Grant’s prestige gold products, but weren’t too impressed with the results.
A tiny little gold jar from Elizabeth Grant’s prestige line of gold products containing ingredients to restore luminosity to my skin – WOW! I really need that.
It’s that time of the year again … you know … the sudden return to that dull wintry skin we all hate in the cold weather. It’s just not fun to have sallow-looking skin when I feel so vibrant and radiant on the inside.
I’ve tried a number of Elizabeth Grant products recently and had really great results with all of them … err …until now.

Review: NARS Skin Acqua Gel Hydrator has saved my skin from this bitter winter!
Winter always does such a number on my skin and it’s always challenging for me with it comes to hydrating my skin because I cannot use heavy creams without risking breaking out.
As you know, I’m late in the game in discovering NARS Cosmetics, and I only recently discovered NARS Skin! I have started using a lot of their skin care products, which are quite acne-prone-skin-friendly, but in this post I really want to focus on their Aqua Gel Hydrator.

Review: I tried Ferox Pure Pulp and I really didn’t find it very hydrating at all
The Ferox Pure Pulp is made from a wild South African aloe plant called ferox. Aloe ferox plants can be found in Cape Province in South Africa and they have been used by South Africans for more than 1,000 years as a remedy against burns. It’s only in 1967 that the regenerative abilities of the aloe ferox plant were put to the forefront by a surgeon after using the plant on a patient who had just received an open heart transplant – application of aloe ferox accelerated the reproduction of the fibroblasts …which are the cells responsible for the formation of collagen.
Review: Elizabeth Grant – BioCollasis Advanced Cellular Eye Cream delivers and we LOVED IT!!!
Once those little, fine lines start settling in around the eyes, there’s NO turning back! Sun exposure, stress, diet, smoking, pollution and genetics all gang up on us. I don’t recall this ever being a topic of conversation while vacationing in the Caribbean sun many years ago, but I find myself having to deal with the outcome now…just like everyone else in my age group. If only there was no such thing as aging…
Thank goodness that so many beauty lines now offer full arrays of treatment products for the face, neck and eyes. I had the chance to try a really good eye cream recently – Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Advanced Cellular Eye Cream.
Review: Should you buy the new Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller?
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
I have to admit that I have more of an issue with lines around my eyes than puffiness but I was interested in trying this nifty new product containing vitamin B and caffeine just to see what would happen. I wanted the “refreshed, awakened eyes” promised in the instructions on the side of the box.
Testing the Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller:
I gently rolled this serum under my eyes from the inner to outer corner as instructed. It felt so cool and soothing that I kept doing it for longer than the one or two times recommended. There was no change in the look of my under eye area even after three days.

1) Krizia’s review of Reversa
I really had never heard of Reversa before watching those videos so I really had no clue what to expect.
Isomers Uncircle Neck Firming Treatment gets high marks!
From the no-nonsense packaging to the creamy consistency, this is one of the best neck treatments I’ve tried all year.
I loved the simple packaging – a 120 ml plastic bottle with a flip-top for easy pour access.
There was no discernable scent and the whole feeling was of something very clean, scientific and easy to use.
The consistency of the treatment was excellent – not runny or too thick. It absorbed well into the skin and left my neck feeling a bit firmer.

I’ve been using Cossidia Essence Dual Skin Repair System for over one month now.
My initial assessments of Cossidia Essence Dual Essence Skin Repair System have not changed very much in the four weeks I’ve tried the product:
* My dark acne hyperpigmentation scars continue to fade nicely and more and more of the dark spots are disappearing all together.

Ojon’s answer to dry skin: Ojon Rare Harvest Tawaka Rejuvenating Cream
Winter is the time of the year where I can barely stand my own skin. There are days where just the contact of clothing against my skin is painful because my skin is so incredibly dry. Don’t get me started about socks or nylons.
I’ve tried so many different types of body creams and I’ve even added extra natural oils like jojoba and almond oil to my creams, but nothing up to recently seems to do it when it came to my legs.

30-day trial of Cossidia Essence Dual Skin Repair System – week 1
As part of my January list of Best Beauty Finds of 2007 under the anti-aging skincare category, I had revealed that Cossidia Dual Essence Skin Repair System was one of the most searched products on the Beauty Match site. The searches came from all over the world. It was quite obvious that a lot of people knew about Cossidia’s Dual Essence Skin Repair System and wanted to know if it actually delivered on its promises.
During the month of February, I will be testing this Japanese anti-aging secret to see if it warrants of the buzz it’s been generating.
Since I’ve mentioned many times before that it does take a good 30 days to really be able to evaluate if a skin care product delivers on results, I will document my 30-trial. These will be very short weekly updates and at the end of my 30-day trial, I’ll write a more substantial review. Continue reading “30-day trial of Cossidia Essence Dual Skin Repair System – week 1” »
