Jubei Ft. Flowdan - Say Nothing

First time I heard this tune on one podcast without tracklist. This really made me a bit obsessed so I spent half an hour searching for this... and successfully found it. 

Love this genre, and so my hubz does.

Music Monday / Talib Kweli - Get By

Hi everyone! 

Happy Monday and have a great start to your week! 

Talib Kweli - Get By

This morning, I woke up
Feeling brand new I jumped up
Feeling my highs, and my lows
In my soul, and my goals
Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
But I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
Just to get by, just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by

There's lots of wisdom in this track and it makes me want to be a better person. Rap is not a type of music I would listen to, but I'm under my hubby's influence and really love this track. Love to sing along when we listen to this in our car ^_^ Since I quited all my bad habits my voice became better, it sounds clearer and stronger, and I enjoy singing so much ^_^

Much love xoxo

*** CLOSED *** Review + Giveaway / SkinCeuticals Eye Cream *** CLOSED ***

*** CLOSED ***

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing (and giving away) SkinCeuticals Eye Cream (this is from their Correct line). I have heard lots of positive reviews on this eye cream so I decided to purchase one. After using this for about 1 month I fell in love and purchased one more on occasion, later I realized I already have a couple of eye creams in my stash and I'm tempted to try them but I have got only one pair of eyes  LOL So you got it right, it must be given away ^_^

SkinCeuticals Eye Cream

Our mission at SkinCeuticals is to improve skin health. Dedicated to this purpose, we make one simple promise: provide advanced skin care backed by science. 

SkinCeuticals provides complete skin care solutions through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medi-spas, and other skin care professionals, earning us a strong reputation in the United States and in over 35 countries worldwide.

SkinCeuticals Eye Cream

What Company say

Powerful ingredients work synergistically in this firming eye treatment to help correct early signs of aging. Eye Cream is formulated with a special complex to combat symptoms such as puffiness, sagging skin, and dark circles — all specific to the delicate eye area. This first line of defense against environmentally induced skin damage supports collagen synthesis and accelerates the skin’s ability to repair damage resulting from UV light, pollutants, and harmful chemicals.

Benefits:

• Combats puffiness, sagging skin and dark circles around the delicate eye area 
•  Protects against environmental aggressors 
•  Supports collagen synthesis 
•  Accelerates the skin’s ability to repair itself 
•  Enhances hydration

Made in the USA.

Directions 

Once or twice daily, apply under the eyes and on the brow area avoiding eyelids. Use after a SkinCeuticals antioxidant. Follow with a SkinCeuticals sunscreen in the morning.

Ingredients

Aqua (Water), Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethoxydiglycol, Water (and) Glycerin (and)hesperidin Metyl Chalcone (and) Steareth-20 (and) Dipeptide-2 (and) Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3, Ectoin, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyurethane, Cetearyl Glucoside, Tocopheyl Acetate, Centella Asiatica extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide 3, Сeramide 6-II, Ceramide 1, Phytosphingosine, Cholesterol, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Dimethicone,  Dimethicone / Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Glycerol Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Silica, Polyacrylamide, C 13-14 Isoparaffin, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, Disodium EDTA, Laureth-7, Juniperus Communis Fruit Oil.

Price

0.67 fl.oz. / 20 ml bottle will cost you $70.00 / 2100 rub. Available at DermStore.com.

My experience

SkinCeuticals Eye Cream comes in a matte glass bottle with a black pump, packaged ina light blue box along with a leaflet. I love this type of packaging, it's safe and hygienic.

SkinCeuticals Eye Cream / the packaging

The cream itself is a thick off-white substance with light juniperberry scent. The scent comes from natural oil, so it's not annoying. The cream doesn't contain any fragrances other than this.

SkinCeuticals Eye Cream / swatched on the hand

I have been using SkinCeuticals Eye Cream twice daily for about 3 months and I love the results so far. I purchased and started to use this cream because of puffiness in the eye area I dealt with every morning. Now the morning puffiness is almost gone, but I think it's not just this cream - I also have changed my diet and quited all my bad habits. 

Other results I have noticed from this cream include smoother skin in the eye area, lighter skin under the eyes even if I don't sleep enough, the skin around my eyes feels moisturized without being greasy which makes this cream absolutely makeup-friendly.

All in all, I love SkinCeuticals Eye Cream. I would highly recommend this cream for those with puffy eyes (you can keep it in a refrigerator for even more effect) and I seriously think of repurchasing it one of these fine days in the future.

Annnd, it's time to have some fun!

My experience

For my review I received a couple of pre-sale test samples, they come in plain white jars. But I love how original full size DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer comes in a tube with a flip-cap because it’s a convenient and hygienic type of packaging. 

The first thing I want to mention is the scent of this cream. It’s like citrus paradise to me – it’s so real and natural yet gentle and not annoying because it comes from natural extracts (there’s no perfume / fragrance in the ingredients).

DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer is a thick smooth cream, slightly yellow in color. When you just have applied it to your skin, it feels a bit oily and smooth, but it soaks into skin within seconds leaving you with a smooth matte complexion. It’s like a dream come true – I always wanted a cream like this because all rich moisturizers I have tried earlier feel good on my combination skin but make it shiny while mattefying creams aren’t moisturizing enough.

DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer / the texture

I use DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer on my face twice daily (morning and evening) and once on my hands (before going to bed) and it works great on both areas. My skin feels smooth and moisturized, skin tone seems to be more even and overall my skin looks healthy. My hands are literally thankful for such treatment as well – they are smooth and moisturized too and cuticles are in good condition.

DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer / swatched on the hand

I can’t say anything about anti-aging properties of DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer because I have no signs of aging on my skin yet (knock on wood) but I believe it’s a great anti-aging product simply by looking at its ingredients list. It contains natural extracts and oils beneficial for your skin as well as top-notch anti-aging ingredients:

• Dermox SRC / UGL Complex - These two complexes contain vital amino acids and proteins that reinforce the skin’s natural defense against the formation of wrinkles and signs of aging. Glucosamine works as a skin exfoliator to accelerate skin renewal making this an ideal ingredient for those who cannot tolerate Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
• Idealift™ - An innovative peptide that promotes elastin synthesis to fight sagging and improve skin’s resistance to gravity.
• MDI Complex - A marine enzyme which inhibits collagenase. It also mimics glycosaminoglycans, thus increasing hydration, moisture retention and skin firmness.
• Matrixyl™ (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) - A peptide chain which promotes the development of the dermal layer of the skin.
• Omega 3-6 - These essential fatty acids are important for all systems of the body to function normally, including the skin. They contain powerful anti-inflammatory properties and promote youthful skin.
• Co-Enzyme Q10 - An antioxidant which acts as a cellular ‘bodyguard’ by helping stabilize cell membranes while bringing more oxygen into the cells and to the mitochondria, the tiny cell factories that maintain cell function. This helps protect the cells from free radical damage and allows the production of healthy cells.
• Renovage™ - Stabilizes DNA and its telomeres as well as increases the efficiency of our body’s own DNA repair process.
• Sodium Hyaluronate - An essential dermal hydrator which plumps and smoothes the skin

I’m pleasantly surprised with how powerful  DermaQuest K-Q10 Rich Moisturizer is and I would highly recommend it for everyone!
