I’m in New York! The night before I fly, I can’t get a wink of sleep. Then I get on a plane, and I can’t get a wink of sleep on the plane! My flight to New York was a five hour plane ride, and without sleep, I was exhausted. One of the drawbacks to lack of sleep, and exhaustion, is puffy eyes accompanied by dark circles. Ugh!
My favorite way to combat tired, puffy eyes, and dark circles, while fighting fine lines, is to wear an eye mask. I have tried several eye masks, and none of them seem to work. When VII Code sent me their eye mask to try, I was hooked! It actually reduced my puffy eyes, and dark circles! My skin looks smoother too. Love that!
The VII Code overnight eye mask is really easy to use. The mask uses pads instead of being in a jar you have to stick your finger into in order apply. The pads are packaged in convenient trays which keep them nice, flat, and ready to use. After you wash your face, you simply take the pads from the tray, peel off the protective plastic, and apply. It’s so easy! They feel cold when you first apply them, and then the pads feel comfortable and are easy to wear. I’m hooked!
VIIcode eye mask is different from other sheet masks, you can wear them for 8 hours at night. The best time to wear them is while you are sleeping. I wore them overnight the first night in my hotel and my eyes loved it!
This overnight eye mask by VII Code is a must-have for travel. It fixed my tired, sleep-deprived eyes and refreshed me for the morning. Now, I am ready to take on New York!
You can find the VII Code O2M oxygen eye mask, which you can wear overnight, online here.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for coming here every week for my beauty reviews! I have been receiving a lot of products in the mail, but I don’t enjoy everything I receive. Starting this year, I decided that I would do a monthly round-up of new beauty products for you which I have tested out, and have fallen in love with. Hopefully this make it easy for you to find new beauty products to love! So, starting today, I will do a beauty must-have post with my favorite finds of the month, on the first of the month! I hope you enjoy!
In January, I tested out a ton of new beauty products. The ones I ended up falling in love with, are pictured above. There is a combination of hair care products, make-up, skin care products, and a relaxing candle; don’t we all need one?! Without further ado, here are my favorites of the month!
Elvive by L’Oreal Paris
As you know, I love to swim and get outside. The chlorine from swimming, and the sun, has wreaked havoc on my hair. So, I am always on the lookout for fabulous hair care products which solve my dry, damaged hair problem. This new hair care collection, Elvive by L’Oreal Paris, is the perfect solution. The leave-in conditioner is my favorite from the collection. It really helps revive my hair!
Elemis Biotec Skin Energizing Skincare System
This is a fabulous collection. I am in love with the Elemis Biotec Skin energizing Cleanser. It leaves my skin squeaky skin without stripping it of essential oils, or drying it out. This is my go-to cleanser. It is fabulous! The night cream and day cream are great too; plus they are travel size. Love that!
Colleen Rothschild Retinol Supreme eye Serum
This eye serum is a-ma-zing! It really reduces the lines around my eyes and keeps them looking refreshed. I love the fact that is it jam-packed with Retinal (vitamin A), Vitamin C, Saliporine 8, and Cityguard. These key ingredients provide antioxidant support, improve moisture and elasticity, contour, lift, and repair. Love that!
Givenchy Gloss Interdit Vinyl
This is the newest lip gloss product from Givenchy. Can I just say-LOVE! This is a fabulous lip gloss which offers bold colour and shine. The colour reacts to your pH balance and changes into a color which looks just right on your skin. Love it!!
Foreo Luna Play Sonic Face Cleanser
OK, cutest little face cleanser ever! I love this petite little cleanser which is great for packing in my purse or beach bag for cleansing on the go. It is also fabulous for travel. Love it!
Tan-Luxe self tanners
So the weather is warming up, and my skin is pasty white! Eeeek! Tan-Luxe makes the most fabulous self-tanner for both face and body. This is the only way to not look pasty while the temperatures reach the mid-70’s yet my skin has not seen sun in months. This is a self tanning must-have!
Colleen Rothschild Haight Ashbury candle
I love candles for relaxing, and while I wear a face mask. They are so relaxing. This candle by Colleen Rothschild offers the scent of the hippie lifestyle; which reminds me of when I lived two blocks from the Haight Ashbury in San Francisco-even thought I am not a hippie. It is a relaxing scent which is rich and spicy. Love it!
There you have it! My favorite beauty products from the past month. Have you tried any of them yet? What are your thoughts?
Did you know bareMinerals made skin care? I had no idea. I always thought they were all about mineral makeup! I was thrilled when bareMinerals reached out and sent me samples of their newest skin care collection to test out. The new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection aims to soften skin while fighting visible signs of aging. Love this!
The bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection contains Vitamin A and botanical extracts which promise to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles and expression lines, smooth texture, and improve firmness and elasticity.
Although I am over forty, I don’t consider my neck to show signs of aging. (maybe I live in a dream-world?) So when I tested out the neck cream, I was happy with the soft, and moisturized effect the cream left without leaving a greasy film, or clogging my pores. My neck is happy!
Now when it comes to my eyes. . .there are quite a few lines from all of the laughing and smiling I have done in my life. I’m not sure why people call these lines crows-feet; they really are happy lines! The bareMinerals Ageless Genius eye cream is doing a great job adding moisture without clogging pores around my eye area. This cream does a great job reducing puffiness, and dark circles under my eyes; which I have had quite a bit of lately due to my current battle with Influenza.
All in all, the new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection does a great job protecting skin from aging, and leaving it soft. I am a huge fan!
The new bareMinerals Ageless Genius skin care collection is fabulous for fighting the aging process. You can find the collection online here.
Thanks for stopping by!
