The Beauty Spotlight Team Bids Farewell to August

Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals Lift+Firm Sculpting Cream for Face and Neck is a wonderfully effective cream that firms, lifts, hydrates and nourishes the skin. Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog loves this cream because it lives up to its claims and it is a pleasure to use. 

The advertisements are reminding us that it’s back to school time. What’s in your back to school wardrobe even if you don’t go to school? For Prime Beauty it’s cosmetics and especially Sorme’ lip products. There’s a wide array of terrific items that will leave you room to buy supplies as well. 

Angie at Your True Self Blog wants you to take care of yourself and be well, and she wrote an inspirational post exploring three ways to take care of yourself: in body, mind and spirit.

Dry lips? Thinning lips? Don’t like thick waxy lip balms? Check out new  Paula’s Choice Hyaluronic Acid + Peptide Lip Booster: lightweight, clear, hydrating liqui-gel. Leaves your lips smooth, juicy and glossy! No fragrance or taste. Minimizes lip lines. Allison from Never Say Die Beauty thinks it’s anti-aging for lips!

Aging is a fact of life, but looking your age is not! And that is when good skincare comes into play with anti-aging ingredients like Retinol, aka the fountain of youth. Learn more about it from Barbie’s Beauty Bits.

August Empties Galore

Purchased & Press Samples (Affiliate Links)

August was a good month for using up lots of largely used up products. I was busy working and didn't do much in the way of masking, but I still managed to use up a good many things before they began started to lose efficacy or go bad. I should note that I have been using things that I rally enjoyed a lot, and therefore there aren't any duds in the selection that you see. However, I won't be repurchasing many of the products any time soon simply because I have far too many products to use up in each category before buying more. Here is what I finished up in August:

Derma E Blue Light Shield Spray ($16.95 for 2 oz. from Derma E and Ulta): is intended to help reduce the effects of environmental aggressors– including blue light exposure caused by our digital devices. In addition to helping mitigate the effects of digital pollution, these nourishing products hydrate, soften, smooth and help balance the skin.This spray, with its deep emerald hue, hydrates, refreshes and balances skin. While it has a balancing effect, it also hydrates– therefore, it never dries out the skin as many balancing products do. Additionally, it can be used to set makeup– which is a wonderful added benefit. Purchase Again? I just opened a fresh new bottle.

Derma E CREATE Skin Beneficial Mist ($18.95-$18.99 for 1 oz. from Derma E): is a wonderfully refreshing and stimulating blend of Rosemary, Ginger, Spearmint– an inspiring amalgam of essential oils that are a pleasure to the senses. A touch of Cardamom, which helps promote focus and clarity, comes through in the base notes, and it adds a touch of spice to this beautiful blend. Purchase Again? More than likely, I really loved using this!

Farmaesthetics Sweet Milk & Chamomile Flowers Facial Exfoliate ($28.00 for 4 oz. from Farmaaesthetics): This beautiful exfoliating cleanser begins its life as an ultra fine powder that achieves a creamy, aromatic lather when mixed with water. The light abrasion, coupled with the lactic acid, gently eliminates and dissolves dead skin cells, unclogs congested pores, and reveals soft, supple and luminous skin. Furthermore, it is neither stripping, nor too abrasive, and is gentle enough to be used every day. It also can be left on the skin as a deeper cleansing mask. The wonderful light Chamomile aroma is calming and very pleasant. Purchase Again? While I really enjoyed using this, I have too many products to use in this category.

Omorovicza Cleansing Foam ($82.00 for 150ml from Omorovicza, Nordstrom, Space NK and Saks Fifth Avenue): I do not usually review deluxe samples, or really comment on the if I haven't used the product long enough to really evaluate its claims, efficacy or whether I really like it. However, this decadent cleanser was such a treat to use that I coveted it down to the last drop. In fact, right after I took this picture, I cut the tube open and used every single drop. It is a wonderfully gentle cleanser with a satisfying lather, but it is not in the least bit drying, stripping or irritating to the skin. Described as, "Refreshing cleansing foam for a deep, yet gentle, daily cleanse"– this cleanser is an absolute treat to use. Purchase Again? It is quite pricey, but I would consider purchasing it during a sale.

Blüh Alchemy Multi C Serum ($140.00 for 1 oz. from Boxwalla): This antioxidant-rich creamy gel-based Vitamin C serum is lightweight, fast absorbing and it has a delectable warm dreamy aroma. It is filled with botanical actives and peptides that deliver potent and bioactive Vitamin C to help plump, brighten and firm the skin. It combines, "a stable cellular extraction of wild harvested Kakadu plum (which is one of the highest sources of botanical, bioactive Vitamin C), with a stable Vitamin C ester (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate) and then enhances the effectiveness of all that Vitamin C goodness with Kangaroo Paw Flower which is rich in Ferulic Acid." Furthermore, it is formulated to strengthen capillaries, increase collagen production, deeply hydrate, and to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone. Purchase Again? YES! This is an extraordinary Vitamin C serum!

Herbivore Orchid Facial Oil ($64.00 for 1.7 oz. from Nordstrom, Credo Beauty, Sephora, Dermstore and Revolve): Formulated for normal skin, this gorgeous lightweight and fast absorbing oil leaves skin soft, silky smooth, hydrated and with a pronounced dewy glow. The antioxidant and Omega-rich formula nourishes and protects the skin, while the delectable Camellia and Jasmine aroma delights the senses. The fractionated Coconut Oil, which is the carrier oil, is used in this effective formulation to ensures that this elixir effortlessly melts into the skin without leaving behind a greasy residue. Purchase Again? Not likely because I have too many open face oils to use first, but I really liked this oil a lot.

Vichy Aqualia Thermal UV Defense Moisturizer ($31.00 for 1.69 oz. from Vichy, Ulta, Amazon, Dermstore and Target): is a lightweight daily moisturizer that keeps skin wonderfully hydrated while offering a broad spectrum SPF 30. This all-in-one SPF moisturizer has a high enough SPF that I do not feel the need to use another sunscreen, but I do have to reapply it every 80 minutes as I would with a regular sunscreen. This is a chemical sunscreen– using Avobenzone 3%, Homosalate 5%,  Octisalate 5% and  Octocrylene 7%– therefore, if you prefer physical sunscreens then you probably won't want to use this French Pharmacy favorite. Purchase Again? Probably the next time that I need a sunscreen for my face.

Vitabrid C¹² Deep Cleansing Shampoo Shot Pre-Shampoo Treatment: This Deep Cleansing Shampoo Shot is formulated to deeply clean the scalp and to effectively exfoliate dead skin cells without stripping or drying the scalp or hair. The gel transforms into a milky emulsion when water is introduced, and it can be used before you use shampoo, or you can mix it with your shampoo. It rinses clean and really refreshes the scalp. Purchase Again? I think that they discontinued it because it is no longer available on their website. This stuff was great!

Inna Organic Cedarwood Shampoo ($52.58 for 8.3 fl. oz. 2 pack from the Inna Organic Amazon Store): This is a wonderful shampoo for dry and damaged hair, and while my hair is not damaged, it is dry and curly, and therefore it requires added moisture. This shampoo has a rich and creamy lather, but it is neither stripping, nor does it leave behind a greasy residue. Instead, it thoroughly cleanses the hair and leaves it soft and hydrated. It has a lovely woodsy aroma that is intoxicating, but if you don't like woodsy aromas, then this wonderful shampoo probably isn't for you. Purchase Again? I have too many shampoos to use before I purchase any more, but I really loved using this one.

Spongellé Hand Defense Hand Wash Infused Buffer ($14.00 each or $56.00 for a 4-pack from Spongellé): This is a wonderful new addition to the Spongellé line, and this launch offers a perfect way to thoroughly wash hands during the COVID-19 pandemic. In fact, you won't mind how often that you need to wash your hands given that these soap infused sponges thoroughly clean and exfoliate, plus they get into every hard to reach spot. Additionally, they don't strip the skin, but instead they leave it hydrated, soft and smooth. The four available scents are delicious, and the creamy lather is incredibly satisfying to the touch. Spongellé suggests that each sponge offers 40+ washes, but I always find that I get more washes out of all of their products than they suggest. Purchase Again? Yes!

Farmhouse Fresh Pink Moon Body Wash & Bubble Bath ($19.00 for 8.4 oz. plastic BPA-free bottle from Farmhouse Fresh): This sulfate-free, creamy foaming body wash thoroughly cleansing skin without stripping it in the least. In fact, skin is self soft, smooth and silky after use. The antioxidant-rich and nourishing formula hydrates skin, but leaves behind no greasy film or residue, and it is emollient enough that I use it to shave my legs. The aroma is a sugary floral that is utterly delectable. Purchase Again? I have quite a few body washes and bubble baths to use before I consider purchasing more, but I would definitely use this one again!

LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant ($14.00 for 1.7 oz. from Ulta): Though I have occasionally used mainstream deodorants, I do prefer to avoid the chemicals. LAVANILA makes wonderful healthy deodorants that are effective and smell wonderful (though they also make an unscented variant for sensitive skin). I use their deodorants more than any other, and just love them! Purchase Again? I already opened a new one! As long as they make them, I will buy them!

Overall Assessment: I doubt that I will do this well in September because I am not currently using too many largely used up products, but we'll see by the end of next month! What did you use up, toss out, give away or return in August? Were there any great product discoveries, or real duds, that you want to share?

Winged Women's Wellness Radiance CBD Glow Facial Oil

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

Winged Women's Wellness Radiance CBD Glow Facial Oil is a very nourishing and hydrating face oil that is a combination of 15 effective botanical ingredients. The CBD oil calms irritated skin, and it is so soothing that it is a perfect choice for post-peel and exfoliated skin. It is lightweight, it melts into the skin and leaves it moisturized, soft, smooth, supple and luminous. This lovely oil has a lovely botanical aroma, but it isn't assertive, pungent or long lasting. Formulated for all types of skin, this velvety facial oil can be used night and day, and once you try it you will likely find yourself reaching for it all of the time.

According to Winged Women's Wellness,

A combination of 15 botanical oils revives dehydrated skin without causing breakouts or a greasy complexion. Glow Facial Oil is stacked with exotic oils for promoting deep hydration without causing breakouts. Appropriate for all skin types, Glow Facial Oil helps to balance skin pH and regulate natural skin oil production. All oils in the formula have a small molecular size, so it penetrates the outer layer of the skin's surface and doesn’t clog pores.

Glow is a symphony of beautiful oil for the skin. A star of the line up is our CBD from organic broad spectrum hemp oil. The CBD is used to help calm irritated skin and reduce redness. The skin has its own Endocannabinoid System and the cannabinoids in our hemp extract promote homeostasis in the skin - this is why CBD has been shown to be so beneficial for balancing inflamed skin.

Added into the formula are high quality Rose Hip, Jojoba, Argan and Marula oils because of their ability to promote deep hydration and soften the surface of facial skin. The result? Calm + glowing skin.

Directions: Massage into skin whenever additional hydration is needed. If using with Radiance Youth Serum, use as the last step. It can even be patted on over makeup for a midday refresher. Glow Oil is quick drying and after a few minutes it will completely absorb into your skin.

Features:

- 300mg CBD from broad spectrum hemp extract

- Deep hydration for a glowing complexion

- Soothes red or flaky skin

- Lightweight, non-greasy formula

- Suitable for all skin types

- Cruelty-free

Ingredients: Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Grapeseed Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Organic Safflower Seed Oil, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Squalane Oil, Cannabidiol (CBD) from Full Spectrum Hemp Extract, Evening Primrose Oil, Organic Jojoba Seed Oil, Marula Seed Oil, Organic Argan Kernel Oil, Vitamin E, Geranium Oil, Lavender Oil, Coriander Oil, Vanilla Fruit Extract and Lavender Oil.

Overall Assessment: Such a lovely and calming face oil, and definitely one worth trying.

Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals Lift+Firm Sculpting Cream for Face and Neck

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals is a wonderful physician-made skincare brand that is effective and impressive. I have tried a few of their products over the years, and I have always been very impressed by them. Furthermore, their products are cruelty-free and a pleasure to use.

About Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals,

John Layke and Payman Danielpour first met back when they were still in medical school, and quickly became best friends. They even completed their plastic surgery residency together at the Nassau University Medical Center, and then both went on to train at the prestigious Long Island Plastic Surgical Group — all while sharing an apartment!

Their friendship then led to them back to Payman’s hometown of Beverly Hills, where they co-founded the now world-renowned Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Group.

But while they’re extremely proud of the world-class procedures offered at their clinic, in 2014 their passion for science inspired them to start developing advanced ingredient formulations that would allow people to achieve dramatic results at home as well — and so, Beverly Hills MD was born.

Since then, this innovative line of professional cosmeceutical formulas has made it possible for people everywhere to look amazing at any age — and is now a favorite among many Hollywood A-listers as well.

Beverly Hills MD Cosmeceuticals Lift+Firm Sculpting Cream for Face and Neck is a nourishing and ultra-emollient lightweight cream that melts into the skin leaving it soft, supple, hydrated and luminous. Furthermore, it makes skin appear firmer, tighter and more lifted without pulling, tugging or irritating the skin. Fine lines are softened, and the overall texture of the skin appears refreshed and rejuvenated. While fragrance is listed among its ingredients, it does not have a strong scent. Instead, its aroma is light and clean and it disappears very quickly. 

According to Beverly Hills MD,

This exclusive anti-aging formula helps give skin a significantly tighter, firmer, more lifted appearance. Its sophisticated ingredients create an intensive “firming” complex that visibly reduces the appearance of sagging skin, to give you a more youthfully defined, sculpted look.

Beverly Hills MD Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream’s exclusive blend of amino acids, tightening extracts, and collagen-supporters provides a dramatic skin- “lifting” effect, while making it appear visibly firmer and more taut. This proprietary complex works to help significantly reduce the appearance of loose, sagging skin by promoting the skin’s internal support structure.

Directions: Beverly Hills MD Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream needs to be used twice daily. For best results, gently massage a thin layer of Beverly Hills MD Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream into freshly cleansed face and neck in an upward, circular motion.

Key Lift + Firm Sculpting Cream™ Ingredients:

Caviar Extract helps to support healthy collagen and elastin levels and promote rejuvenation of new skin cells.

Progeline™ works to promote skin’s natural elasticity and firmness.

Liftessence™ uses polysaccharides from the New Zealand Tree Fern to create gentle tension on the skin’s surface, resulting in a natural lifting and tightening effect.

Idealift™ contains specialized peptides that help support the production of skin-supporting molecules. By nourishing skin’s overall architecture, this ingredient helps give skin a more sculpted look.

Sculptessence™, a flax seed derivative, helps to “fill in” gaps in skin’s internal matrix while supporting collagen for a longer-lasting firming effect.

Silk Peptides help promote your skin’s natural tone and texture by conserving moisture and enhancing flexibility.

Overall Assessment: This is a really effective face and neck cream that does precisely what is says, and it is a pleasure to use. Well done, Dr. Layke and Dr. Danielpour.

Carefree Skincare Professional Hand Sanitizer

Press Sample (Unaffiliated Links)

The Covid-19 surge is quite bad in my area, and rather than a carefree summer ours was underscored by double-masking, social distancing, avoiding crowds, constant hand-washing and the use of lots of hand sanitizers. In one of my recent PR packages I discovered a travel size bottle of Carefree Skincare Professional Hand Sanitizer, and I put it right to use. They make lightly scented and unscented professional grade hand sanitizers, and they sent me the lightly scented variety. The scent is quite faint, and unobtrusive, and it fades very quickly. The gel texture immediately liquifies upon contact with my hands and it is non-sticky. Furthermore, the formula is moisturizing, rather than drying, despite the fact that it contains 63% ethyl alcohol, thanks to the inclusion of glycerine and Vitamin E. 

According to Carefree Skincare,

40 year old, family owned and operated FDA-OTC approved company of Innovators that have been producing award winning skincare products since 1980. Today when it feels like everything we touch should be labeled “Handle With Care” - upgrade to our spa grade professional hand sanitizer and love the way your hands feel. 

Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) vs Isopropyl Alcohol: There are generally 2 alcohols for use in hand sanitizer. We chose SUSTAINABLE Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol) over the less desirable Petroleum based ( Isopropyl Alcohol).

Features:

- 63% ethyl alcohol. Glycerine and Vitamin E combine to make this a hand-softening product. Mild fragrance; dissipates rapidly.

- Hand Sanitizer that exceeds FDA, CDC, and WHO guidelines for performance

- Passed outside clinical testing that confirms killing 99.99% of germs and bacteria

- Nourishing gel that leaves hands soft, not dry, even after multiple uses

Note: CDC, FDA, WHO all agree 60% Ethanol will kill 99.99% of the germs and bacteria as opposed to 70% required for Isopropyl to work.

Overall Assessment: I am very impressed by this hand sanitizer, and love the fact that my hands aren't left dry and chapped.

Spongellé Hand Creams might just be my greatest discovery in 2021, and they are the perfect antidote for dry hands.

They feature ingredients such as Hyaluronic Acid, Shea Butter, Argan Oil and Macademia Seed Oil that deeply moisturize and heal chapped hands, and the Hyaluronic Acid retains moisture and plumps fine lines.
