#Exuviance Illumination Duo Kit #Review #AntiAging

I received product for free to facilitate a sponsored Review.

What made me excited to try Exuviance Illumination Duo with the Evening Complex lotion, and the Vitamin C+ Anti-Aging booster were the Mix of Vitamin C, and Aceta-C™.

Also all of the ingredients are 100% Active.  Which is RARE for companies to not call something Ant-Aging and just throw a ridiculous amount of Water, and unneeded fillers.

Exuviance has Vitamins A, C, and E.  Along with other botanical blend of PHA's (that gives it a green, fresh scent, is how I would like to explain it.) I could really feel, and see the positive benefits of the PHA's acids help restore my skin, while the vitamins did moisten them.

It's as easy as using a scoop (or you can use the squeeze bottle lid that comes with it too.) to measure out half a scoop of the Vitamin C powder, and mix it in with some of the Evening Complex for more of a Boost. It mixed easily, without any effort, or lumps. After mixing together it gave the Duo a almost pearl like glimmer. The Exuviance duo went on cool without any burning.

My overall impression of Exuviance Illumination Duo is I actually really do like it, and find it has a great purpose in my daily skin routine.  My skin felt smoother, and I liked the shine from just using it for a week.  I can't wait to see the full months effect. I think if you are looking for a botanical chemical peel duo that doesn't have the harmful skin burning, and peeling like some of the other things on the market, you should definitely try out Exuviance Illumination first.

Here is a photo of me after applying the Duo.  I am 32 years old, and absolutely love Kits with Vitaimin C.  I feel as if my skin is as smooth as my 3 year olds after applying the Kit. I also could see that my skins overall tone was more even. The Duo worked great on my skin.

About the Product

Exuviance Illumination Duo combines the power of our nighttime transformer, Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex, with the 100% pure active formulation of Exuviance Vitamin C+ Anti Aging Booster for a potent anti aging cocktail that combats the visible signs of aging.

Give your skin a beauty boost! Mix Vitamin C+ Anti Aging Booster with Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex before bed. The Vitamin C amps up the effects of the Evening Restorative Complex for a potent anti aging cocktail that acts as an evening transformer for all skin types.

- Evening Restorative Complex is clinically proven to improve overall skin texture, tone, and appearance
- 90% saw smoother skin after 4 weeks of using Exuviance Evening Restorative Complex
- Vitamin C+ Anti Aging Booster amps up the effects of the Evening Restorative Complex, helping to fade the look of dark spots while improving firmness and smoothing wrinkles


The powerful Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) Gluconolactone in Evening Restorative Complex decreases lines and wrinkles, evens skin tone and improves roughness and texture. Lactobionic Acid - a potent antioxidant - inhibits wrinkles from forming, plumps and firms the skin, and enhances clarity. This bionic blend of PHAs, along with botanicals and Vitamins A, C and E, delivers full-strength anti-aging benefits without drying or irritation, even on the most sensitive skin types.

The 100% pure active formulation of Vitamin C+ Anti Aging Booster contains Vitamin C, an essential co-factor in collagen synthesis, known for its power to strengthen skin's matrix, improve firmness and smooth wrinkles. Plus, we've added our patented super antioxidant, Aceta-C™, to enhance the natural antiaging effects of Vitamin C, amplifying its skin-protecting and pigment-evening effects. Together, they help fade the appearance of unwanted dark spots, and strengthen skin's defenses against future discoloration and signs of aging. (What does 100% actives mean? The formula does not contain water or fillers, etc. All the ingredients are benefit ingredients.)

Directions:

Each night, pump a small amount of Evening Restorative Complex into the palm of your hand and mix in a few shakes, or up to 1/2 scoop of Vitamin C+ Anti Aging Booster, just before application. Once mixed, gently smooth the mixture over a cleansed face and neck. Use less powder if skin feels sensitive. Do not exceed 5 shakes or 1/2 scoop per use. Tap bottle to loosen powder when needed.

My Self Portrait. #Art #DigitalArt #Selfie #Creative #Therapy

I've been working on my Self Portrait for almost a month now.  I work on it here, and there.  Add a little, Delete a lot. I don't feel like I am done yet, I'm pretty hard on myself tho, but drawing calms me.  I'm not sure what made me want to draw myself to begin with.  I just haven't felt like myself lately I suppose, and needed to get back to things I enjoy. Art really is one of those passions that calms this beast.  I don't get to draw, or paint with oils anymore.  My excuse would be since finding out Sy has Autism Spectrum Disorder, with Ritualistic Behaviors I just try to keep the safest environment for him, and my oils, along with the paint thinner isn't it right now.  This tablet, and creating the digital art I can do while still in the same room with him. We also do drawing sessions together on it.  I don't talk about this really, but I wont hide the fact I needed an outlet to be creative before I lost my mind.  I really believe Art, even if its digital is perfect therapy. I tried finger painting, and he hates the texture of anything "wet" on his hands. I tried sand art, and he wants to eat it.  The same thing with Clay. Digital art tho, he sits on my lap, and tries to hold the characters hands, to where my heart smiles, and I know my sweet man is there. Sy does not talk, and I don't need to hear his words to feel his emotions from creating things together.

Harvey Prince Hello Review & Giveaway #Hello #WhiffLove #Giveaways @HarveyPrince

I received Product to Facilitate a Review, All opinions, and Photos are my own.

I have been vying to try out Harvey Prince Hello.  Every time I spray myself it puts me into a better mood. Something about the perfumes scent makes me think of Sunshine, Happiness, and A Hopeful Tomorrow.

It may also be that it reminds me of a Perfume Called "Happy" by Clinque but Harvey Prince's Hello is SO MUCH BETTER smelling to me.  Maybe because Harvey Prince is made in the USA, and is an Eco-Friendly, Natural Company.  The oils, and notes *in my opinion* are higher quality ingredients.  I am a huge Perfume-Smelly-Addict,  I have to smell good or I just feel Oogly about myself.  Scent triggers our senses, and that sense should be used for the good, and enlightened daily. I truly believe if you are a Happy fan, you'd more than likely love Hello more. I, myself, am a huge fan of Sweet, Citrus-y, Perfumes.

Harvey Prince's Hello has notes of Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian Vanilla, and Sensual Musk.

This was my first time reviewing the Body Cream.  I was impressed with the thick consistency of the lotion, the long lasting lingering of the scent well after being massaged into my skin.  My skin does feel softer from it.

The Body Cream, along with the Perfume has made me happier this past month using it.  Between turning 32 earlier this month, and guess.. what! We are moving again! This time to the other side of the River to Williamsburg to be closer to work.  I will not spaz out.. from the stress.. I will sniff my skin to calm me.. I can't be the only one likes to self cope from using their favorite smells.

Since Hello was my Birthday wish, The kind souls at Harvey Prince is sponsoring a Giveaway for Three Winners! Each will receive one bottle of the Harvey Prince Hello 50ML Spray, Est. Retail Value. $55.00. Giveaway begins July 31, 2014 and Ends August 14, 2014. Greenvics.com is not responsible for Prize Fulfillment, Prize is mailed directly from the Sponsor.
