I'm always interested in trying new beauty products, so I was delighted when I was selected to help LASHEM promote this giveaway via Brand Backer. I will receive a sample of this product soon, so stay tuned for my review.

I had never heard of the LASHEM brand and you may be in the same position, so I'd like to share more about the company before the giveaway.

I'm liking how well this product helps with over look of puffiness. It does decrease redness, but takes a few minutes to completely dry. Wait till cream is no longer tacky on skin to put on concealer!

Reviva Labs Face cream and serum Giveaway

in , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Tuesday, December 02, 2014

It’s #GivingTuesday and there is a lot of happiness floating around! I hope you’ve had a chance to share your ways of giving today on your favorite social channels. I joined in on Twitter and it was amazing seeing all the wonderful acts of kindness and generosity at the height of shopping season. If you’d like to learn more about #GivingTuesday, please read my post here

I couldn’t think of a better way to honor a day of giving than by hosting a giveaway! Thanks to Reviva Labs, I’ll be giving away two of their all natural products. They sent me a complimentary bottle of Elastin Serum Concentrate and a jar of Nasolabial Folds cream to try and share with you.  All opinions are my own. 


Reviva Labs #skincare


About Reviva Labs Elastin Serum concentrate:

First, let’s talk about Reviva Labs Elastin Serum concentrate. Make no mistake ladies, if you are over 25, you may need this product! After 25, your skin begins losing its supply of Elastin. This loss is aggravated by lots of sun exposure, temperature extremes, stress, tobacco, alcohol, drying winds just to name a few culprits.

Reviva Labs Elastin #serum


Reviva’s Elastin Serum Concentrate feeds skin special quality Elastin to boost skin elasticity and firmness and can be used alone or under other creams. This serum works best on the little wrinkles you may have on your around your lips or eyes.

My Thoughts:
After using this product for 3+ weeks, I can see a difference on my face, neck and hands on the days I have time to use this before I put on my moisturizer. The serum goes on easily, dries quickly, and has no scent or greasy feel. I like it and do recommend it!
Beauty Tip- If it goes on your face to improve it, it should be applied to the back of your hands as well. Hands age us almost faster than our necks do!


About Reviva Labs Nasolabial Folds multi-peptide cream:

Reviva Labs Nasolabial fold #cream

Now, let’s discuss Reviva Labs Nasolabial Folds multi-peptide cream. This is for all us 35+ ladies who may be seeing some parentheses around our mouths. I have them and I don’t like them, so I was especially interested in a non-invasive, paraben free solution such as this cream. 

Reviva Labs states that while nskin cream can claim it can totally remove deep Nasolabial folds, they can help reduce their appearance as well as other stubborn facial lines. They made the Nasolabial Fold cream to combat the “folds” that run from each side of your nose to the corners of your mouth (parentheses). These folds are thought to be the result of years of smiling, frowning and other facial expressions we do on a daily basis. 
However, Reviva Labs and various medical experts agree that facial contractions are not the only cause. Aging and the loss of cheek fat is a major factor. The young face is full, with cheeks that have a “fat pad”. With age, the fat falls down toward the nose causing skin sag and folds. In addition, skin along the jawline drops (creating jowls) and skin towards edges of mouth loosens, forming lines or wrinkles.

My Thoughts:
I’ve been using this cream on a semi- nightly basis for 3+ weeks I have noticed a slight change, but I remain hopeful that this results will improve over time.
I like that this cream has no scent, is non-greasy and goes on smoothly. I can feel it working on my face, even when I apply a small amount.  My opinion on this product is neutral at this point, but I will continue to use it and will update this post if I have other news.

Olay Regenerist Lash Duo Review

in , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, April 26, 2013

I wrote this post while participating in a campaign by Vocalpoint  on behalf of Olay Regenerist and received a promotional item to thank me for my time. All views and opinions with regard to the products, or company are my own and were not influenced, nor reviewed by the company prior to posting. 


I am a make up and skincare fan. The health and beauty aisles at any retail establishment will draw me in like a moth to a flame. I enjoy trying new brands, but there are a few tried and true brands that I always rely on, Olay being one of them.

About Olay® Lash Duo:

"Double-team aging eyes with the New Olay®Regenerist Micro-sculpting Eye Cream & Lash Serum Duo. The dual-ended applicator softens the appearance of lines and gives you smoother-looking lids and instantly thicker-looking lashes—a powerhouse duo against aging eyes."



My Review: 
Eye Cream:

I have tried many, many eye creams over the years so when I say there was nothing I didn't like about this eye cream, I really mean it.



  •  It was light and non -greasy. It felt soothing on the eye area including the eye lid. Zero irritation! 
  • It absorbed into skin quickly, allowing me to move on with my routine without having to wait for the product to dry. 
  • The eye cream played nicely with my concealer allowing the concealer to glide smoothly over eye under-eye area.
Lash Serum:

I haven't used a lash serum before so I didn't know what to expect. I knew I didn't want clumpy eyelashes or eye irritation from product overload. I very tentatively  applied a small amount to one set of lashes and waited. Here are my thoughts:
  • No eye irritation but your lashes will feel thicker than they usually do when applying mascara.
  • Wait time for serum to dry is about one minute. Do another part of your face while you wait.
  • Bonus beauty tip: After applying serum to your eyelashes, run brush over your brows for a quick and pretty grooming. 
  • No clumps formed on eyelashes or eye brows!
  • Serum worked beautifully with mascara.
  • I didn't feel like I had a ton of product on my eyelashes.
I am completely in love with this duo! The skin around my eyes is much softer and smoother and my lashes have never looked better!  I will happily purchase again and I highly recommend this to you. I feel sure that even those with sensitive eyes will be able to use these products.

This product is currently on sale at Target.  Or you can save more and purchase this online at Amazon:





I hope you found this review helpful. Please let me know if you have a favorite Olay product that you always buy.

Loreal Magic BB Cream Review

in , , , , , , , by Linda A Kinsman, Friday, February 15, 2013


Beauty balms are very trendy right now and every major beauty brand has one vying for your attention.
Pick up any magazine geared towards women and you will find a review or top pick beauty balm. It can be confusing sifting through all the expert picks. 

That is why I am happy to share with you my review for Loreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.

Loreal Says: 

This is an all-in-one beauty solution that does it all. It’s formulated to prime, perfect, hydrate and correct. To apply, simply dot on and blend with your fingertips. Self-adjusting beads will instantly transform to your skin tone.

After reading that, I couldn’t wait to try this product and have been using it for over a week now. I wanted to love this product, especially since I know Loreal products won’t irritate my face or cause breakouts.  But for me to love a product, it must Wow me and pass my scent, feel, use test.

My Review:

There is no scent to this product, which is a plus because there is also no sunscreen in it so you will have to apply sunscreen first. That is a negative for me on time crunched mornings when I really do need an all-in-one beauty solution. I used it alone on mornings I ran my daughter to choir and felt bad for not protecting my face from the sun. 

 To be fair, I will say that this beauty cream gets along well with other products including sunscreen and concealer, so it is a good primer and an excellent moisturizer.

Plus, you really don’t need a lot of product, just a pea size dot for each part of your face. It starts out opaque but instantly turns color upon contact with your skin. 


opaque




I really like the lightweight feel of this product. You can’t really tell you have it on, except for the color. I am using the light tone and it turned a little too tannish on the parts of my face that don’t get as much sun exposure, like the jaw line. But it matched well to my forehead as shown in these photos.

This is my forehead 20 seconds after applying the pea sized amount of product to my forehead.

Blending was easy though and I found I could correct the off color by dabbing a little foundation on and blending again. This beauty balm lasts all day without turning my face into an oil slick or changing color; which are huge plus’ for me.

The Take Away:

 I would give this product a solid B. Loreal should add sunscreen to this for it to be a true all-in-one beauty solution. 
I would recommend this product for minimal makeup wears who don’t use a lot of makeup or for those who have good skin and don’t require makeup because this product alone isn’t going to cover blemishes, sun spots etc. It also serves as good primer.

I liked this product well enough to try it in a lighter shade and to keep it in mind for when my teen daughter starts wearing makeup. (If your are reading this dear Tera, no, not yet)!

You can learn more about this and other Loreal products by visiting their website and following them on Twitter.


I hope you found my review helpful.
