Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
Yes – I’d line my lines to look smoother instantly – like NOW! Could Genie Instant Line Smoother really do that?
Even Botox takes a few days to settle in and relax those very strong frown muscles. Why do frown muscles have to be so powerful anyhow? We don’t purposely try and work out those muscles, do we? And why can’t stomach muscles be that strong naturally without having to do 100 sit ups each day?
Okay…right – life isn’t always fair. Give me that line smoother and let’s see what I can do with it.
I’m always on the lookout for a new serum, line smoother or eye product. Even beyond the requirements of this job as a reviewer, I’ll always stop and check out something new at the beauty counter. And those cosmetic companies seem to know that we all have anti-aging products on our minds because there has never been a proliferation of so many products in this class until the last few years.

Review: Elizabeth Grant Caviar Rejuvenating Eye Pads
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
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
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
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!
There are very few parts of North America that have not been affected by this bitter winter. Honestly, by mid-December, I was ready to pack my bags and move to a place where I no longer had to deal with 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
Velds is the producer of this product that is quite popular in France so obviously, I wanted to try it! I had featured the product a while back when I first had heard of it, but because I had such a long lineup of products to test, I was only able to try it recently.
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!!!
Review submitted by product reviewer Eleni
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.
Review: We tried Reversa Antioxidant Booster Serum and we actually really liked it a lot!
A few weeks ago I had featured great new videos I had caught on YouTube about sexy men and and anti-aging serum called Reversa.
I hope you were able to watch those videos, because they are truly worth it!
You can still catch the original post here: WARNING: It’s raining sexy men: Have you seen these hilarious ads from Reversa?
This is a rare occasion for my readers because not only did I tested and tried the Reversa serum, but Eleni and Daphne, my product reviewers were also able to review the product and you can see how all three of us liked the product! You’ll also be able to see how each of us rate the product!
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.
We tried Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum and liked it!
Review submitted by our product reviewer Eleni
It seems that every skincare company on the planet has a serum these days.
Is it the new miracle-in-a-bottle we’re all hoping for? It’s hard to know which serum is the best one because prices can range from $15 to more than $550, but you should be able to find one that fits your pocketbook and complexion at the same time … it’s a question of testing and trying.
Testing Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum:
I have just finished 4 weeks of testing Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum and I found it to be a really good serum and the price is totally reasonable.
I used the Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum twice daily.
