{Beauty Favorite} RoC Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Night Cream

July 6, 2015

I am a RoC Ambassador and received this product for review. All opinions are mine.

Over the years I have really become more conscious about my skincare. I’ve mentioned before that I am really not brand loyal and will try anything but I’ve come across a staple with the RoC Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Restoring Night Cream. As a RoC ambassador I have been sent samples of a few of their product offerings, and I have liked the majority of them but this night cream is

E V E R Y T H I N G.
From the smell to the texture to the results, this night cream is one that must find a home in your beauty product arsenal…or one you should at least try especially for the price.

I only bring and review products here after I’ve tried them for at least 2-3 weeks. Well after week 1 I knew I was sold but said I would stick to the script and it still has not disappointed, if anything it has made me more of a fan as the weeks progress.

What’s so great about it? Glad you asked.

Texture: It’s feather light but thick at the same time. I am aware that is an oxymoron but just imagine something that is silky to the touch but has the feel of a heavier moisturizer. It goes on so smooth and sinks in almost immediately

Smell: If you are not a fan of scented products I think this would still be okay with you. I love the smell, its light but leaves a relaxing scent.

Packaging: I’m a packaging lover. The bottle is heavy, I believe it is glass but it is durable. Mine has taken a few tumbles with no nicks. I love it because it seems so luxurious and high end on my vanity but affordable. Well priced items with luxury touches are always a win in my book. This jar retails for $28.99 and you can find it at your local big box retailer or drug store.

Noticeable Results within 4 weeks: Within a few days I noticed a change in the look of my skin the morning after putting the cream on. Your skin will look hydrated, and dewy as I like to call it. Around 3 weeks I started to notice that some of the discoloration in my skin was starting to blend in and not be so noticeable, and my skin was firmer and just over all healthier looking.

I am in love with RoC Multi Correxion 5 in 1 Night Cream. In love. It is understandable that every skincare product won’t have the same results on everyone, however if you have combination skin like I do, for the price I would say give it a whirl.

Have you tried any RoC products? What are some of your favorite skin care must have products?

Women with MORE Essay Contest Sponsored by RoC®

May 27, 2015

RoC® Skincare is sponsoring an essay contest called Women with MORE. It celebrates the achievements of driven and talented women. There are four categories that women are being nominated for which are: Ambition, Beauty, Style, and Passion. I am nominating my best friend Erika for the Women with More Passion category; she is an amazing woman and her passion continually inspires me.

Erika, is the mother of five beautiful children, and top of juggling the hectic trials of motherhood she also runs her own interior design business, curates her own interior design blog at Blulabel Bungalow and might I add she is the reason that I blog today. Although raising five children and being a businesswoman is a colossal feat, it doesn’t end there; she is also a fantastic wife and a very dedicated friend.

We’ve been friends since middle school and was briefly separated during our college years and we’ve been inseparable ever since. When my mother died she was 8 months pregnant with her third child but that didn’t stop her from being right there, I remember just wanting her to sit down but she wouldn’t. When I found out the sex of Addison she was the first personal I called in tears, she knew the desires of my heart. I value our friendship so that there are few words that can describe what and who she is to not only me but my family. She’ll scold, pray and laugh with and at you all at the same time! Even though we are much busier these days running our families and don’t see each other and talk as often as we would like, when we do it’s as if not a minute of time has passed.

I chose to nominate her because she is the epitome of the modern day woman and though she doesn’t do this for the praise she definitely deserves some! She is a wonderful role model for young girls and women who strive to have success in their home lives as well as in the workforce. She is proof that you don’t have to settle in life. If you work hard enough you can achieve all of your dreams, and you can do it with class and style.

I am a huge supporter of RoC® Skincare and I’m so happy to see that they are using their voice in order to acknowledge everyday extraordinary women. One product of theirs that I absolutely loveis the RoC® Retinol Correxion® Deep Wrinkle Serum. This serum is formulated to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well improve the firmness and clarity of your skin.You do know I am a little paranoid since turning 36 about making sure I use only the best products on my skin to ward off any wrinkles and such. I’ve fallen in love with this product and I use it at night and in the morning.

It is very hydrating and leaves the skin feeling very fresh. It sinks right into the skin and it leaves a flawless finish which is great for putting makeup on top of. Results from this product can be seen after using it for just one month and they continue to show as you use it.
To find out more about RoC® Skincare and their products visit their website at rocskincare.com, and search the hashtag #RoCYourSuccess on Twitter and Instagram in order to read the stories of other amazing women that were nominated for this contest.

My Skincare Regimen with Dermalogica

June 18, 2014

I’m telling you nothing makes you slightly obsessed about your skin than turning 35. Or maybe it’s just me.

Seeing that I did nothing more than wipe the crust out of my eyes in the morning and moisturize with some of that Jergens Cherry Almond lotion that I put on the children, I would say I needed to be concerned.

After attending the Dermalogica grand opening a few months ago and learning about their FREE skin mapping service, I find it hard to believe that it took me nearly 2 months to get back down there to get this service done.

I know.

One day in April I finally made an appointment and found my way to the Dermalogica store in Atlantic Station.

After filling out this card, that included information about my health background and skin concerns I was escorted to the chair where the relaxation began.

Post skin mapping, I had a mini facial done utilizing the recommended products. It was concluded that my face was combination, which I knew. What I didn’t know is that because my skin is dry in certain areas, it isn’t a great thing to use clay based masks….which I was doing every now and then.

She used this little contraption to penetrate the products into my skin. I don’t know what the proper term for it is or what it does but my skin felt like a baby’s booty when she was done….and no we can’t buy one.

I walked away well informed and knowledgeable about my skin type and the types of products that I should be using on my combination skin. Who knew it was going to be FIVE products used every time I went to cleanse my face.

After a few weeks I was sent all of my recommended products and let me tell you……Let.Me.Tell.You.

the truth.

Of course I priced them out because I won’t be using anything else but Dermalogica. They are a little pricey but considering that once you make the initial investment you won’t likely have to buy everything at the same time again. As one runs out you just grab that one.

One of my favorite products is the Precleanse. It is oil based and I was very skeptical about oil based cleansers when my face is already slightly oily but this product is magnificent. It clears away the surface dirt so the real cleanser can get in there and do a deep clean.

If you are in an area where Dermalogica offers their FREE skin mapping service, go get it done. You aren’t obligated to buy anything but sometimes it’s just good to know from a professional standpoint what you can be doing at home to take care of your skin.

What does your skin care regimen look like? Is it just a splash of water and go, or are you high maintenance like me now?!!!

*I was provided product. All opinions are mine. You already know!!*
