JolieMD Metamorphosis Skincare: Glowing Skin without Irritation

Hello Divas!

Are you loving life? You know you just have to regardless of what you are going through. Life is beautiful!

I was given the opportunity to try JolieMD Metamorphosis.  I have been using the skincare line for the past six weeks.  JolieMD is the brainchild of Dr. Jason Litner and Dr. Peyman Solieman, renowned Beverly Hills Facial Plastic Surgeons, and Creative Director Nadine Jolie of the world famous blog Nadine Jolie.  Nadine also is an accomplished author and former magazine beauty editor.

JolieMD Metamorphosis is a two part skincare system that contains a Softening Serum and Enlightening lotion.  You first apply the serum to cleanse and prepare your skin.  This serum gently exfoliates and removes blemishes while also prepping the skin for penetration of the Enlightening lotion's pigment or blemish corrective ingredients.  The Enlightening lotion, is a pigment or blemish corrective solution that gently and over time fades and diminishes darks spots and wrinkles.   The products are to be used once daily and with sunscreen.

What do I think?

First I LOVE the packaging.  I have never seen packaging like it.  It is sleek and gorgeous! Hey I am a girl. I like nice packaging!

My experience with the product has been mostly positive.  The Softening Serum did sting my skin for a few weeks, and then my skin became accustomed to it and it did not bother me anymore.  However, the Enlightening lotion is phenemenol.  It is lightweight and very non-greasy.  This is important to me because I have very oily skin.  In addition, the Enlightening lotion gives your skin the most amazing glow.  The glow is better than a light sun-kissed tan. More importantly, this skincare system did not break me out.  I have extremely sensitive skin and I did not experience one blemish during the 6 week trial.  I was so worried about trying this product because I do tend to break out easily and because this product did not cause any flare-ups it is already a winner in my book.

Does it fade dark spots?  Now if you have read my blog, you know I struggle with hyperpigmentation.  I have it bad.  But I manage it with a host of products.  JolieMD Metamorphosis did lighten my dark spots, but did not fade them completely.  The only product I have ever tried that completely fades dark spots is Kojic Acid.  It is the truth!  However, JolieMD Metamorphosis did give me a healthy glow and more even skin tone.  I also noticed that JolieMD made my skin very very smooth.  It improved my skin's texture by 100%. Seriously.  I am always struggling with blackheads and big pores, but my skin feels smooth as a baby's.  I am sure that is the slow and daily exfoliation caused alpha-hydroxy acids in the Softening Serum.  Last week my niece touched my face and she said "Toicha, your skin is so smooth". Boy that made me feel good!

Overall I really love this product! I am out of the Softening Serum but have a teeny bit of Enlightening lotion left.  I am definitely going to use JolieMD Metamorphosis as my skincare system of choice;  not because it totally got rid of my dark spots.   But because I have not had one pimple or black head since using the product and like I said my skin is so soft and smooth!  The two-part system retails for $96 dollars and I think it is absolutely worth it.  You can purchase it here.

Giveaway! Lumene Excellent Future Deep Repairing Cream and Serum.

Hello Divas!

I hope your Thursday is fabulous! It is the 4th of July weekend! Whoohoo! Time for cookouts and frozen treats!

As you beautiful Divas know, I LOVE Lumene Skincare. Lumene products are my primary skincare products of choice! Their products are luxe brand quality but with drugstore prices. Recently, I was given the opportunity to preview Lumene's new Excellent Future Deep Repairing Cream and Serum. These products will not hit stores until July 6, but I can give you the scoop now. LOL! I have been using the serum and moisturizer for a week and a half and thus far I am pretty impressed with the results I have received. My favorite product in this line, hands down, is the serum. It is fantastic! I use it every night and morning and my skin is firmer and smoother. Also after applying the serum at night and waking up in the morning, my face looks well rested and relaxed. I apply the serum alone at night and I apply it under the Lumene Vitamin C Day Cream with SPF 15 (SPF 15 is a must!) in the morning. The serum quickly absorbs into my skin and I only need a few drops to cover my face and neck. What I love most about Lumene products and especially this serum is that it does not break out my skin. I have super sensitive skin and I try many products and 50% of them will break me out. I can TRULY say that Lumene products have never caused one blemish on my skin. (Knock on wood) In my book this is huge!

The Excellnet Future Deep Repairing Cream is very thick, so you only need a small amount to moisturize your face. I only use it sparingly and not every night. The Day Cream with SPF 15 works better for me.

The technology of this new line is amazing. These products contain a combination of apple stem cell extract and Arctic White Peat (a key ingredient in Lumene products) that claim to repair and delay the signs of aging. Sounds impressive? If you would like to try these new innovative products, Lumene is graciously giving away the Excellent Future Deep Repairing Cream and Serum to five (5) lucky Luxetips readers. Simply live a comment telling me why you want to try these products. Winners will be selected at random and must agree to share their experience with these products on this blog after one week of use. Contest ends Sunday, July 5 at midnight.

I Need This in My Life: Patricia Wexler MMPi.20™Skin Regenerating Serum

Hello Divas!

I hope your Thursday is Fantabulous!

As you can see the Wednesday "Hot Drugstore of the Week" post was done on Tuesday and the Tuesday "I Need This in My Life" post is today. I switched things around a bit because I had to report on the Lumene Instant Eye Cooling Stick. It is a great product and it is on sale. I don't want you Divas to miss a bargain. LOL!

Well the next item that I need in my life is Patricia Wexler MMPi.20™ Skin Regenerating Serum. I have known about this product for over a year but have not wanted to cough up the $150 to try it. Can you say steep? But I have heard from many women that this is truly a miracle serum. This product contains patented MMPi.20™ anti-aging technology. As stated on their website, MMPi.20 "blocks the damaging effect of all 20 known MMPs (skin destroying enzymes that break down production of collagen and cause skin to sink, sag, and wrinkle) and prevents the production of new MMPs, correcting the signs of aging you see today and preventing future damage."

Women claim to achieve even skin tone; improved skin elasticity; faded acne and blemishes; and wrinkle reduction in as little as ONE WEEK! ONE WEEK! And good news ladies, Bath and Body Works is currently selling this serum for only $65!!!! Now I can justify this purchase! That price is 60% off the original price! Click here for purchase information!

Has anyone tried this product? If so, please share your experience.
