It Cosmetics Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep

NEW IT COSMETICS CONFIDENCE

IN YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP

Last month I received a press mailer from it Cosmetics containing their NEW Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream AND Confidence in a Cream (my daily facial moisturizer since 2016 and the #1 anti-aging moisturizer in the U.S!*) What is it? A skin-transforming, pillow cream moisturizer, that works while you sleep. The scent is also soothing, a major plus in my books. 

When this duo is paired together, Confidence in a Cream and Confidence in Your BEAUTY SLEEP, is the perfect day-to-night skincare regimen for younger-looking, healthier, supple skin. I switched it up for the daytime, and used another IT heavy-hitter for a triple threat: Confidence in Cream Rosy Tone.

*based on NPD units

it Cosmetics Confidence in a CREAM, BEAUTY SLEEP and ROSY TONE

NEW! Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream ($54.00 Available at itCosmetics.com - for all skin types at NIGHT) Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep Night Cream , is formulated with Rest & Restore Technology, designed to visibly improve the five top signs of aging in seven sleeps: 

1. Fine Lines & wrinkles 

2. Tired-Looking Skin 

3. Loss of Firmness 

4. Dullness

5.Dryness

Sent by it Cosmetics: Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep! #itGirl

Now, I cannot stress enough, the importance of SLEEP. Take it from me. I have never done the "night life" (no clubs, bars or lounges, EVER. Not a fan), and I aim to get 8 - 10 hours of sleep DAILY! Sure it's a bit extreme for those that enjoy it, but I prefer flawless, time-proof skin. If you want great looking skin, then you simply must do your part to help it along. 

Infused with hyaluronic acid and adenosine, plus skin-loving ceramides to help restore the natural skin barrier.

Works specifically during the ‘night shift’ of 10:00 pm – 2:00 am when your skin is at its peak rejuvenation cycle, and improves surface cell turnover through gentle exfoliation.

The night cream’s bouncy texture, named MemoryBounce Technology, provides a luxurious application experience and doesn’t transfer onto your pillow.

Confidence in a Cream (2 US fl. oz/60 ml $49.00 - for all skin types in the MORNING)

• Quick-absorbing super cream clinically tested to give your skin a supple, healthier, younger-looking appearance

• Immediately immerses skin in moisture, plumps the look of lines and wrinkles and reduces the appearance of pores and discoloration for a more even skin tone

• Infused with proprietary Anti-Aging Armour Rejuvenating Concentrate, which combines collagen and hyaluronic acid, plus skin-loving niacin, peptides, ceramides, shea butter and vitamin E

Okay, but how did Confidence in Your Beauty Sleep work? I'll show you. I tried it every single night for three straight weeks, and I must admit that my skin looked so much more plump and hydrated (it was looking a bit shallow lately, with my 5:00 a.m. gym wake-up calls and less than six hours of sleep). Just take a look for yourself - and if you KNOW me, then you already know that I never wear foundation. Ev tested , loved and approved!

IT Cosmetics Love Beauty Fully & Bye Bye Pores

NEW IT COSMETICS: 

NEW BYE BYE PORES LEAVE-ON SOLUTION & 

LOVE BEAUTY FULLY™ LOVE IS THE FOUNDATION BRUSH

Hi dolls, here to share with you two latest launches that I received from my friends IT Cosmetics: NEW Bye Bye Pores Leave-On Solution Pore-Refining Toner and Love Beauty Fully™ Love is the Foundation Brush (cute make-up pouch pictured above was part of the press mailer). 💋

NEW Sol de Janeiro Launches

WHAT'S NEW FROM 

SOL DE JANEIRO?

I'm back with my all-time favorite skin care brand - Sol de Janeiro - and their recently launched products. It's no secret that I have been obsessed with Sol's Cheirosa '62 fragrance since it's debut a little over four years ago, so when reps sent me their newest additions, I fell head-over-heels! For those asking "Hey Ev, what does Cheirosa mean?" Well, in Brazil it means to smell irresistible - think: incredibly delicious!

I waited a long time for their Cheirosa '62 Candle. It smells absolutely AH-MAZING, and if it's even possible, better than the bum bum cream! Also, new? Sol de Janeiro's Biggie Biggie Bum Bum Cream launched again. TWICE the size of their regular/larger jar. I snagged one last year before it disappeared (sold out almost immediately) and I still have it.

Palmer's Skin Success GLOW

GLOWING, RADIANT SKIN WITH

PALMER'S SKIN SUCCESS GLOW

After a long beauty hiatus, your gurl is back and better than EV-er (and I promise to explain in full details why I was M.I.A with my reviews in my n-e-x-t blog post!) So much catching up to do... 

Gift bags lined up at Palmer's Skin Success GLOW event at MNDFL

Where skincare is concerned, I'm front and center - so it's no surprise that I joined Palmer's brand for a new product launch event last April when invited, and checked out their NEW Skin Success GLOW line at MNDFL (10 E. 8th Street, NYC). All beauty guru's in attendance enjoyed a relaxing 20 minute meditation session, perfect to help get us glowing from within and learn all about Palmer's new skincare launches with Dr. Valerie M. Harvey, Dermatologist. 

                       

Glowing with Palmer's at MNDFL - April 2019

Get glowy, radiant skin in as little as two weeks with Palmer's GLOW Water Lily Face Cream, Radiance Sheet Mask and Purifying Sheet Mask (each sold separately, at Walmart and Palmer's.com.) All three products listed below are: Hypoallergenic • Dermatologist Tested • Ethically & Sustainably Sourced (and never tested on animals!)

             

 

Palmer's GLOW Water Lily Face Cream (2.7 oz./.75 g - $7.95) A natural perfecting cream that effectively corrects dark spots, uneven skin tone or discoloration. With key ingredients: Niacinamide - White Lily Extract - Retinol - Japanese Songyi Mushroom - Vitamin C

Palmer's GLOW Purifying Sheet Mask (1 single-use mask 0.60 fl. oz./18 mL - $3.99) Draws out impurities and refines pores for a clearer, more balanced complexion. Key ingredients: Bamboo Charcoal - Licorice - Salicylic Acid - Willow Bark - Aloe - Marshmallow Extract. 

GLOWING thanks to Palmer's and this cool mirror

I have been using the GLOW Water Lily Face Cream since late April, and can honestly tell you that my skin has never looked BETTER. I noticed that all the uneven skin around my nose/mouth area evened out; giving me even more radiant skin. Sheet masks are part of my Sunday Skin Serenity ritual, when I relax and gear up for the work week. 

Not that I ever wear foundation or concealer, but I have more and more people asking me "WHAT are you using on your skin Ev?" And this is it. #GlowWithPalmers

Vaseline® Clinical Care

VASELINE CLINICAL CARE

FOR EXTREMELY DRY SKIN

The bitter blast of winter is here, bringing with it rough, dry and cracked skin. It seems that no matter how much lotion you use, dry skin just won't go away. Well, Vaseline® introduced Clinical Care™, a breakthrough line of dermatologist-tested body products aimed to rescue hard to heal dry skin during moments you need it most. There are six products in the Clinical Care range, and I received a mailer from Vaseline reps, and thoroughly tested three in the line for one week, and the results are amazing. My skin is smooth and supple; hydrated all day - and night.

The new lotions contain a Barrier Repair Complex™ – a unique formula made up of glycerin, pro-lipids, and Vaseline Jelly, that when combined strengthen skin’s moisture barrier, transforming it from extremely dry to healed in five days. The specially designed blend of Glycerin delivers moisture directly to skin, with Pro-lipids serving as building blocks to create a moisture barrier, and iconic Vaseline® Jelly to help lock in moisture. This trifecta of ingredients quickly rescues very dry, rough skin.

Vaseline® Clinical Care™ range can be used daily, is Dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic. Let's take a further look at the six products in the line: 

NEW Coco Cabana Cream

INTRODUCING SOL DE JANEIRO

COCO CABANA CREAM

It's been a great weekend, especially with Sol de Janeiro's NEW Coco Cabana Cream launching yesterday (8.1 oz./240mL - $45.00). It's no secret that I am addicted to their Bum Bum Cream (pronounced boom boom), and it's one-of-a-kind delectable scent, but this new cream is out of this world. Think coconut and sugar, and this cream is a moisture magnet oil-in-water body cream that provides 72 hours of moisture. SWEET!

I've had the pleasure of test driving this divine new cream since attending the product launch with Sol de Janeiro on November 8th, and what an event it was: Brazil Carnaval theme, four floors of event space complete with Samba dancers and a synchronized swimmer - check out stills from my Instagram stories:

Palmer's Coconut Oil Face Glow

GET YOUR GLOW ON WITH NEW

PALMER'S COCONUT OIL FACE FORMULAS

With the cold weather here, I'm ready to get my coconut glow on thanks to Palmer's NEW Coconut Oil Formula face products: Coconut Sugar Facial Scrub, Coconut Water Facial Moisturizer and Coconut Monoï Luminous Hydration Facial Oil. These three new additions to the Palmer's Coconut Oil Formula with Vitamin E line not only smell coconut-y delicious, but provide 24-hour moisture, are non-comedogenic, hyper-allergenic and are also Dermatologist tested. 

When Palmer's sent me this mailer, I could smell the coconut before even opening the box. Okay Ev, we know it smells great, but how does it feel on your skin? Definitely deserving and divine! My skin is rosy, dewy, feels silky smooth and has this undeniable glow that just cannot be ignored. Getting your coconut glow on with Palmer's is even better, since these products are certified organic extra virgin coconut oil, formulated with sustainably and ethically sourced  ingredients, FSC (Forest Stewarship Council) and packaged with recycled packaging.

Dove Anti Stress Micellar Water

NEW DOVE ANTI-STRESS MICELLAR WATER

BODY WASH & BEAUTY BAR

Dove mailer sent by brand reps

Last week brand reps sent me the NEW Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Body Wash and Beauty Bar, perfect for counteracting the effects of pollution. See, every day, your skin is exposed to pollutant particles that are up to 20 times smaller than skin's pores. Dove is the first to bring micellar water technology to the mass U.S. Body Wash market, offering gentle cleansing combined with the power of micellar technology, to refresh and gently cleanse away pollutants and environmental stressors like dirt and impurities. My favorite is the scent: clean, floral and sweet. Also, they're sulfate-free! Dove is all I use in the shower, both body washes and beauty bars (which I have used for years to wash my face and remove my mascara). 

Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Body Wash (SRP $5.97 - 22 fl. oz) 

• Sulfate-free

• Provides softer, smoother skin after one shower

• Notes of floral, relaxing chamomile and sensual sandalwood

• Refreshes skin while gently cleansing away pollutants and environmental stressors

• Mild body wash formula has Dove's gentlest cleansers, Glycinate and DEFI, combined with NutriumMoisture technology

Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Beauty Bar (SRP $3.49 - 2-bar pack)

• Sulfate-free

• Formulated with signature 1/4 moisturizing cream

• Refreshes skin while gently cleansing away pollutants and environmental stressors

• Replenishes nutrients lost during cleansing, leaving skin soft and smooth

Dove Anti-Stress Micellar Water Body Wash and Beauty Bar are available at food, drug, mass and online retailers. For more information, or to explore all the other ranges in both body wash and beauty bars, visit: www.Dove.com

IT Cosmetics Summer Skin

FUN IN THE SUN THIS SUMMER

WITH IT COSMETICS

Amazing Memorial Day Mailer Sent by my friends at IT Cosmetics

I have been a loyal #itGirl since the brand launched and I religiously use the amazing IT Cosmetics skincare products every day. IT's clear to see that my skin is loving the results (I just celebrated my 41st birthday on May 21st and groundbreaking skincare and beauty products are a must for my eyes, face and neck. 

Age really is just a number - skincare is everything! May 21, 2018 #Im41Hun

Cue to the fabulous press mailer just sent to me by IT Cosmetics, just in time for MDW to kick off summer (and how cute is that insulated make-up pouch?) My products will stay cool this summer for sure, and a breeze to carry around thanks to mini sizes. What's in the bag? 

Seriously though, how COOL is this insulated make-up bag? Thanks IT team!

NEW Dove Body Scrub

DOVE EXFOLIATING

BODY POLISH

Dove Exfoliating Body Polish is the first body scrub from Dove that exfoliates and nourishes for soft, smooth skin. Formulated with the brand’s signature ¼ moisturizing cream, Dove Exfoliating Body Polish nourishes skin as you exfoliate, making it the perfect addition to your spring skincare routine! Follow with a gentle cleanser, such as Dove Body Wash or Beauty Bar.

My personal experience with Dove's new body polishes is nothing short of amazing. While it's true that Dove dominates my bathroom (deodorant, body washes, beauty bars and haircare) I exfoliate my skin twice a week (face) and body polishes - think underarm or other areas you shave/wax - are top of my list, especially in summertime. The Dove Exfoliating Body Polish (10.5 oz tub / SRP $5.99) smells devine and leave my skin silky smooth and hydrated. All three are divine, but my fave is Pomegranate Seeds and Shea Butter!

Love sent from Dove

NEW Dove Exfoliating Body Polishes are available at mass drug, grocery and online retailers.
