EVEN GLOW SERUM - 20% Vitamin C - Antioxidant Treatment
















The Valentia Even Glow Serum promised to even and brighten skin. As currently being plagued with acne scars I couldn't wait to give this product a try. The silky serum is packed anti-aging ingredients such as  Organic Rosehip Oil, Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil, Green Tea Extract, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, and Resistem. The creamy serum provided all day hydration, reduced wrinkles and fine lines along with boosting collagen production. While I didn't notice any reduction in wrinkles or fine lines but my skin is soft and smooth. I also like how radiant my skin look and felt. I would probably purchase this again if it was on sale.

Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer Fair to Medium Skin Tones

Before you ask, what is a brown skin person using a self-tanner, I wanted to see what the fuss about. Most people think having brown skin means you don’t get cellulite or it becomes less visible. I can sadly say, this is not the case. The tanning lotion didn’t make the cellulite less noticeable...er...I mean..what cellulite? The tanner promises a “natural - looking color that's streak-free, hassle-free and with our breakthrough patent-pending technology, now has no sunless tanner odor.” While the tanner wasn’t completely odorless, it just wasn’t as strong as many others. I didn’t notice any streaks mostly because the color gradually appears when you apply the lotion daily.  After applying, don’t be fooled by the white lotion, wash your hands otherwise you will end up with tell tale orange hands [trust me], but imparted a soft golden bronze color on my skin. As a side note, make sure to apply a thin layer and not to double up anywhere thinking you missed a spot otherwise you will get splotches. And try to go easy on the drier areas, like knees, ankles, elbows, and knuckles or it looks a bit weird. While I rarely burn, I don’t get a golden color [sadly]. But I must say, I don’t think that golden color is something found naturally in nature. The color started to fade by day 3 and I would recommend this to anyone who wants a “little color” should try it or as soon as we invent the technology, I will be more than happy to share my natural brown color :}

Sephora Lip Gloss - Rosy Glow

This non sticky gloss imparts a soft rosy glimmer gloss on my lips. I didn’t notice a strong scent or a taste. The gloss doesn’t last really long and my lips are a bit hydrated afterwards [not like a lip balm]. The formula is packed with hydrogrape complex and antioxidants which offers gloss and a bit hydration. I mostly use this gloss for a bit of color on my lips.
