Brighten your complexion with Morganna's Express Resveratrol Cream [Review & Giveaway]

Resveratrol fights inflammation to brighten a tired and dull complexion. Fades dark spots safely without irritation.

My thoughts: I just love the feel of a good cream on my face. Love smoothing it on gently in upward sweeping moves and rotating a bit to assure it absorbs completely. This new cream from Morganna's Alchemy Laboratories is a feel good cream for my skin.

The color of this cream is tan or has an earthy creamy look. Not too  liquid and not too stiff. It doesn't sting my skin nor does it go on heavy or stickyly feeling. It smooths beautifully leaving the skin with a moisturized, soft glowing appearance. And it feels so nice.

This cream is purposed to brighten one's dull complex and lighten dark spots. It will take longer than I've used it thus far to determine its effectiveness; but so far it is winning accalades from Chat With Vera.

I have previously reviewed and used Morganna's Korean Orchid StemCell Gel Cream and 24K Glow Astaxanthin + Bakuchiol Moisturizer. I have found them both to be totally delightful and am continuing to use them.  Read reviews

Product information: 

WHAT DOES EXPRESS RESVERATROL CREAM DO? Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where melanin, the main pigment in our skin, is stimulated, causing dark spots to appear. Factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, UV exposure, and inflammation can lead to hyperpigmentation. Morganna’s Express contains two powerful ingredients that work together in synergy to help fade dark spots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Trans-Resveratrol neutralizes free radicals caused by environmental aggressors and supports the skin’s natural antioxidant defenses. This ingredient works to diminish visible signs of aging, improves the appearance of skin radiance, firmness, and density. 

Fractionated Melanin is specifically designed to absorb harmful rays from light exposure, blue light in particular. Fractionated melanin does not penetrate the skin, which means it will not contribute to hyperpigmentation, but it does allow beneficial light to penetrate the skin. Barley Seed Extract helps skin maintain elasticity, reduces inflammation, and creates a protective barrier on the skin to protect against damage and pathogens.  Buy it click here

Using resveratrol topically in skincare products: (quote from INKRAFT Laboratories https://bit.ly/3gy7CZI)

Applying resveratrol to the skin is generally considered to be safe. However, people with bleeding disorders must strictly stay away from resveratrol since it could slow down the natural blood clotting process, leading to more bleeding. This is why you should avoid using resveratrol if you are about to undergo surgery.

Resveratrol is also known to have a high affinity for estrogen. If you are diagnosed with conditions that do not support the presence of too much estrogen, avoid this antioxidant

Priti NYC Natural Nail Care found at Good Earth Beauty is gluten, paraben, & cruelty free [Review & Giveaway]

The last time we talked about nail polish, we spoke of how the uncertainty of the times and how Covid-19 is governing our lives with the fear of contagion with limits on going out to work, socializing, and just living day-to-day.

That fear is still there. We're still slow to socialize, shop, play, work as normal. But some limits have been lifted and folks are beginning to come out of the isolation that drove us to fight this novel virus and to protect ourselves and those we love.

But we still need to stay isolated or away from large groups. We still need to wear a mask. We still need to exercise care by distancing ourselves and diligent hand washing. 

And we still need to add a level of self-care and of prettying-up ourselves. We need to use nice products on our skin. Good stuff to make us pretty and add a dab of color to our lives.

PRITI NYC Nail Polish can help you do that. And... Priti NYC Nail Polish is one of the good guys! It's natural. It's safe. It's long lasting. It's definitely pretty!

Our hands have been lathered and rinsed until our cuticles, knuckles, and nails  are showing a bedraggled look.

Fix it! ...

Get a bottle of polish. Get a clipper. Get a file. Then trim, shape, and get pretty.

Find this Color "Cool Paris" (a lovely pink with touch of voilet) & other beautiful colors. Note: this color is not as violet as it appears in this picture. CLICK HERE

What color would you choose? Liven up the day with a crimson red or be beguilingly beautiful in a blushing pink. What's your choice?

Now here's a superb thought..... order online! (Don't go in stores where those Covids abound.) The folks at GoodEarthBeauty.com which is a fabulous all natural product beauty shop online is the perfect place to shop natural, vegan, cruelty free, etc. I love it!

Here is the Priti NYC Nail Polish I'm trying out right now. I'm telling you, it went on beautifully. I applied a nice base coat. Then two coats of this beautiful Priti NYC Nail Polish. And finished with a clear top coat. 

"I feel pretty, oh so pretty....." (You know the song...)

You can, too. Go ahead and check out what they have. CLICK HERE

Ella Freda Organics Face & Neck Firming Lotion [Review & Giveaway]

My thoughts: Ella Freda Organics Face & Neck Firming Lotion which I used on both face and neck was surprisingly effective for a product in this price range. I think I prefer it as a neck and decollete cream to tighten skin and help with elasticity. Hopefully preventing and/or stopping crepey skin. 

Ella Freda Organics Face & Neck Cream $21.96
https://www.ellafredaorganics.com/products/face-neck-firming-lotion

This new product from Ella Freda Organics is a Facial & Neck rejuvenating cream. The texture is a somewhat dense cream. I apply a small amount to my entire face (avoiding close to eyes), chin, neck, and décolleté. It goes on smoothly and I use smoothing upward strokes that rotate massaging the tension away. 

After using the face/neck cream, I apply my makeup for the day whether it is a stay-at-home day with little or no color added or a one of my full-out makeup days. My beauty products work well with the Ella Freda Organics Face Neck Cream.

This product may be used morning and evening. One must be certain to avoid getting it in one's eyes.

I think this is a good product and suggest you give it a try. Check out the Ella Freda Organics website.  Click Here

Product information: Our lotion tightens sagging skin and restores elasticity. Use on your face, forehead, neck and décolleté to rejuvenate your troubled skin areas, improve neck crepe, and look years younger. A true breakthrough in fighting the dreaded turkey neck, our cream is a double chin reducer that restores elasticity and tone, producing near miraculous results.

 

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Butylene Glycol, Isopropyl Palmitate, Sunflower (Helianthus Annuus) Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Glyceryl Stearate, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Beeswax, Stearyl Alcohol, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Coconut (Coconu Nucifera) Oil, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl Alcohol, MSM, Green (Camellia Sinensis) Tea Extract, Licorice (Glycyrrhiza Glabra) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate,
