Laneige

Laneige was created in 1994 by the largest cosmetics company in South Korea. In 2010 Laneige became a professional skin care brand with Laneige Advanced Water Science.

Moisture-recharging magnesium. Cell metabolism boosting manganese.

Cell-renewing zinc. Moisture-locking ceramide. Collagen restoring

bio-peptides. Each LANEIGE customized complex is enriched with active

ingredients technologically formulated to penetrate deep into the skin,

delivering exactly what your skin needs, when it needs it. All day long. *

 I was excited to try Laneige product via www.influenster.com new campaign free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion.

Product that I was sent to try was Laneige Water Sleeping Mask. Here is what brand has to say about it:

Overnight revitalizing gel mask

Infused with
• Orange Flower, Rose and Sandalwood
• Brightening anti-oxidant Hunza Apricot Extract
• Retexturizing Chestnut Extract 

• After toner and emulsion, apply evenly across face
• After product is absorbed completely, leave treatment overnight and rinse off in the morning
• Use once or twice a week

Product comes in nice and simple packaging. Good size - 80ml, as you need to use very little of product per application, it will last you a good while.
I would prefer product to come in with pump container, it would have been less messy and would keep bacteria away.

Cream has gel texture and you can tell right away that it will do a great job keeping skin hydrated. Absorbs quite quick, not as quick as I was expecting it to for a night cream/mask though. I would suggest to apply it little while before you go to bed if you don't want the product to treat your pillow too.
I found the scent to be too strong for my liking, especially for night cream. I would like the product more if it would come in scent free version.

I have used product for couple of weeks twice a week now and I really think it does a great job hydrating my face in this transition season.
I would think about purchasing it in future too if it would come in a scent free option. I really like how easy it is to use it and results it gives, but I just can't get over the strong scent it has.
Hopefully by the time I'm finished with this packaging, there will be options to choose from.

I would recommend the product, as it really works great and is also very affordable.
If you want to give this and bunch of other great Laneige products a try, visit Sephora store and get your hands on them.

Pink October

21.7 million: The number of new cancer cases expected to be diagnosed in 2030. And, by 2030, 13 million cancer deaths are predicted. However, these projections only reflect population growth and aging, so these figures will likely be much larger “due to the adoption of lifestyles that are known to increase cancer risk, such as smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, and fewer pregnancies, in economically developing countries.” *

Cancer is word everyone fears.. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so let's put an extra thought and our support in this. Cancer gets you unprepared and doesn't come knocking..

I have been fortunate enough not having to deal with pain having someone in my family or friends to fight it. But none of us is protected. That's why it's very important to be involved, to be concerned and to care. 

There are a lot of organizations that accepts donations and invests in research and treatment programs, let's all of us spend a little more of our precious time this month to give our share for a good cause. Every thought and help will be appreciated. 
Let's care more!

Wine Aerator

Who is going to disagree with this genius man.. 

I love wine so I got pretty excited when I had a chance to try wine aerator via Tomoson review site. This particular one comes from Bar Brat. I had my first interaction with the brand when I reviewed their other product few months ago. I wasn't disappointed then, nor am I disappointed now.

A wine aerator is a small, in-bottle, hand-held pour-through or decanter top device for aerating wine. These devices mix air into the wine as it flows through or over, increasing exposure to oxygen and causing aeration. They offer an alternative to swirling and traditional decanting (i.e. to wait for wine to breathe)*.

I tried it on several different wines, mostly cheaper and more sour ones and it hands down worked. Wine tastes much smoother and actually much more enjoyable. 

It is super easy to use, just put it on your opened bottle and pour. That's it! Really! No extra wait time, nothing. Just pour and enjoy. 

I highly recommend to try it and see or I should say- taste the miracle happen.

Click here if you want to read more reviews from people that have tried it or to purchase it for your own discoveries. It's on sale right now, so don't miss out on an amazing deal but even if you do miss out on promotion, this product at full price will still coast you less than most of other wine aerators in the market.

Vichy Ideal Soleil SPF 50

We all know or at least starting to realize how important sun protection is. Every year sun is getting stronger and more harmful. It is our job to take care of ourselves and our skin. 

Summer isn't the only season we should use sunscreen, but it is the season when we should definitely put more thought into it.

This time I would like to share my amazing experience with Vichy Ultra Light lotion for face with SPF 50 UVA+UVB High Broad Spectrum Protection.

First of, here is what Vichy says about their product:

"The photostable formula with Mexoryl XL®, a patented broad spectrum filtering system, along with other powerful filters, protects the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Photostable, the formula doesn't lose its efficiency during sun exposure. 

Enriched with Vitamin E and grape polyphenols, the lotion provides deep hydration in order to prevent dehydration caused by the sun."

This amazing sunscreen is:

- Hypoallergenic

- Paraben-free

- With soothing and fortifying Vichy thermal spa water

- Fragrance-free

- Preservative-free

- Water-resistant

Its ultra-light and fast-drying texture hydrates the skin without leaving any white or sticky residue. And that is something I look for in my face care products. Who wants to deal with hard to apply sunscreen? I want it to be close to invisible and Vichy Laboratories had that delivered in this amazing product. 

It comes in a nice little bottle (40ml) and will fit in even the smallest purse or pocket. Make sure you shake it before using it.

Lotion absorbs really quickly and feels super lightweight. Great on its own, as it won't leave sticky, greasy nor shinny look, or under makeup as it's so light.

I think I have found my ideal face sunscreen. I've been using it everyday since I bought it and don't have a single complaint. And days have been really hot and sunny. Highly recommend!

No matter how good your sunscreen is, it's important to remember these few tips:

• Do not burn :)
• Seek the shade, especially between 10A.M. and 4P.M.
• Use sunscreen with SPF15 or higher every day
• Remember to reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours
• Wear UV blocking sunglasses
• Keep an eye on your birthmarks.

And just in general, remember to take care of yourself and your skin.

Roll The Pain Away

Foam Roller! I bet at this point a lot of you have heard about this amazing fitness tool. Foam rollers are the latest hit and not without a reason.

Foam rolling is self- myofascial release technique that is used by athletes and physical therapist to inhibit overactive muscles. This form of stretching utilizes the concept of autogenic inhibition to improve soft tissue extensibility, thus relaxing the muscle and allowing the activation of the antagonist muscle. 

This technique can be effective for many muscles and it is accomplished by rolling the foam roller under each muscle group until a tender area is found, and maintaining pressure on the tender areas (know as trigger points) for 30 to 60 seconds.*

This is how "Master Of Muscle" introduces with their product - Muscle Mauler Foam Roller:

• WORRY FREE TRAINING - DESIGNED SO YOU CAN GO HARDER FOR LONGER: Releases toxins in the muscles pre-workout so you can drive yourself harder and post workout speeds recovery to improve your performance. Also ideal for Sports Injury PREVENTION as well as REHABILITATION
• PERFECT FOR SELF MYOFASCIAL RELEASE FOR ALL SPORTS ENTHUSIASTS: Crossfit, Pilates, Bodybuilding, Rugby, Boxing, Running, Weight Training, Yoga and Sports Beginners
• ORDER NOW! WORRY FREE! We offer a BETTER than money back guarantee, if there is an issue with your product for any reason we will REFUND you and SEND YOU A NEW ONE.
• ADVANCED DUAL POINT DESIGN TO BE YOUR OWN PERSONAL MASSAGE THERAPIST - Dual Trigger-Matrix Pressure Zones let YOU control the pressure and action. Provides muscle soreness relief where you need it most including all key areas such as Lower and Upper Back, Neck, Knee, ITB, Quads, Hamstrings, Delts, and Shoulders
• LIGHTWEIGHT AND PORTABLE: The hollow core and only 13 inches in length ensures it fits easily into any gym bag or travel case- ensuring you get your massage in any time, anywhere

If your training hard or not, foam roller is a healthy and happy life tool. Not only it will ease muscle recovery after workouts, it will help you with other muscle tightness related pain.
Master Of Muscle will send you the manual of how to use the roller properly, how to use it to ease the different pain you're facing and basically all the information you will even need for successful and effective foam rolling.

I've been doing boot-camp for quite some time now. For those who doesn't know it, it's a high intensity workout, targeting practically all your muscle groups. My trainer has been using foam roller for a good while now and she wouldn't stop talking and recommending it to us. So when I was approved for Tomoson.com Muscle Mauler campaign I was really excited to try this miracle product on my own.

I brought my Muscle Mauler to the workout and my trainer loved it! She admitted this one to be more effective compared to the one she's using. Mostly because of the texture Muscle Mauler has, giving better pressure and result.
I'm loving it too. It takes little time to get use to the pressure, it won't be very pleasant, but your muscles will say thank you after. I'm using it after my workout and after jogging. And without a doubt I can say, it makes recovery so much easier.

I have often knee pains, so IT band exercise is in my Top3, along with glutes and calves exercises.

Just an example of instruction you will get along with your Muscle Mauler foam roller.

Just an example of instruction you will get along with your Muscle Mauler foam roller.

Vichy Works For Me

Don't we all know the feeling of running short on those hours per day? There are things that have to be done and life that has to be lived. Mr. Time doesn't care too much and then comes the morning with very tired face. Sounds familiar?

Vichy has a solution for us with those busy schedules and lifestyles.

New Idéalia Skin Sleep is especially designed for women whose nights have been cut short, and who miss that key midnight and 1 a.m. skin regeneration window.

Enriched with a powerful multi-active complex such as glycyrrhiric and hyaluronic acid working to regulate epidermal differentiation, Idéalia Skin Sleep visibly recreates the effects of regenerative sleep on skin.

Doesn't that sound amazing? I had a chance to try these amazingly promising products via ChickAdvisor product review club. Thank you ladies!

This amazing campaign package came with Idealia Life Serum and Idealia Skin Sleep.

I have tried Serum prior this campaign and I really like it. It's little different from all the other serums I have tried and seen. Mostly it's texture - creamy unlike other clear liquid ones. It also feels like cream when applied only very, very light one. Absorbs practically right away and leaves a light "pixie dust" shimmer. Very elegant scent and packaging along with the performance.

I use it in the morning routine, after I have washed my face with cleanser.

Idealia Skin Sleep was the product I really wanted to try. And before I continue, I must say, it's my new favorite night cream.

Cream comes in amazing container with mirror built into the lid, not only it adds uniqueness to the product but also convenience. Texture is almost like combination of gel and cream. Has the Idealia product line signature scent - soft floral. It disappears very quickly so it won't be distracting you. Cream is easy to apply and it also absorbs pretty quickly, leaving a protective layer with some shine. It doesn't feel heavy on my skin and is very moisturizing. Another important thing is that it didn't irritate my skin - so powerful and gentle at the same time.

Idealia Skin Sleep night cream is the last product I use before bed, after I have completed my skin care routine. Without a doubt I can say - Vichy Works For Me. In the morning no matter how early I wake up, skin doesn't look tired and is fresh and plumped with no evidence of puffiness nor pillow creases. It will have little bit of shine though, but daytime face routine takes care of that.

I would highly recommend to give this product a try. Let me know your thoughts on it.

Coppertone Sunscreen Sensitive Skin SPF50

Summer is here and so is the bright sun that we all love so much. Unfortunately our skin fears it and seeks a good protection. It's our job to remember to protect it.

No one wants s to be sitting inside when the weather is so beautiful and that's where sunscreens come handy. There are so many in the market and finding the right one might be a whole journey.

Today I will talk about my experience using Coppertone Sunscreen Lotion for sensitive skin specially made for face with SPF50, that I was given an opportunity to try via Chickadvisor amazing campaign (click here if you want to find out more about Chickadvisor and how to become one of their influensters). 

This sunscreen is hypoallergenic, fragrance free, contains naturally sourced zinc oxide, is free of dyes, oils and alcohol. It's specially made for sensitive skin, so it won't irritate skin, nor will it cause breakouts.

Cream is thicker than I imagined it to be and has white creamy texture. All you have to do is just to massage it all in. It will leave some shine on your face, nothing that a light powder can't hide though. Feels light on skin, so no problems using it under your makeup. 

Instructions suggested to apply the sunscreen 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours. And you will also need to reapply it after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating. It shouldn't be a problem as cream comes in a nice little container, that you can easily have on a go with all the other summer essentials.

It is also important to remember few of these tips:

• Do not burn :)
• Seek the shade, especially between 10A.M. and 4P.M.
• Use sunscreen with SPF15 or higher every day
• Remember to reapply the sunscreen every 2 hours
• Wear UV blocking sunglasses
• Keep an eye on your birthmarks.

And just in general, remember to take care of yourself and your skin.
