bareMinerals Skinsorials 3-Part Ritual Kit Review
About a month ago, I was at Ulta and spotted the new bareMinerals Skinsorials range. I had read about the Skinlongevity Serum in a magazine and had already decided beforehand that I wanted to try it, but didn't realize that they had new cleansers and moisturizers too until I got there. I saw these 3-part ritual kits for $60, and since the serum is $48 by itself, I figured that the kit was a better option, since it allowed me to try the cleanser and moisturizer for only $12 more. Let's take a closer look...
Description: Skinsorials, an exquisite beauty ritual filled with what your skin craves - gorgeous textures, naturally derived scents and effective ingredients - for your most beautifully resilient, younger and healthier looking skin.
PURIFY. Revitalize every time you cleanse.EMPOWER. Enhance the healthy look and feel of your skin.
MOISTURIZE. Soften, smooth and deeply replenish.
Price/Where to Buy: $60 at Ulta or bareMinerals
Quick Verdict: I love the serum but the cleanser and moisturizer were just okay.
In the new Skinsorials line, there are four cleansers depending on your skin type, one serum that's universal across all skin types, and four moisturizers. The kit I purchased said it was for normal to dry skin (I have super dry skin in the winter that goes more toward normal in the summer) and contains the Pure Plush Gentle Deep Cleansing Foam, Skinlongevity Serum, and Bare Haven moisturizer.
Step 1: Cleanse
Pure Plush is a thick, creamy foaming cleanser. When you first squeeze it out of the tube it actually holds it's shape...that's how thick it is! You only need a pea sized amount because a little goes a very long way. It feels very soft and cushiony on your skin, yet at the same time, it feels like it's really getting deep down in there to deep clean with lots of foamy lather. It removes all of my makeup easily and my skin feels really refreshed immediately after using it. It also has a nice citrusy-fresh scent that's not overpowering (and the fragrance they use is all natural).
The main issue I have with this cleanser is that after an hour or so, my skin starts to feel really dry. I don't know if it's the sea salt that's in it (which is meant to purify) or what, but a little while after using this I noticed that I had dry patches that normally aren't there and my skin felt tight. I'm hoping that once the weather warms up and my skin is more normal, I'll be able to use this because I really do like it. It's a really effective cleanser and it feels and smells nice too.
Step 2: Treat
The Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion is my favorite of the three products. It's a water-light serum essence that absorbs really quickly into your skin and leaves it feeling velvety soft and smooth. It contains humectants to bind water to the skin and Long Life Herb, which is supposed to defend against the signs of aging. The first time I used this, I noticed that my skin had a healthy glow even though it's been really dry and dull lately. I feel like my makeup goes on better because my face is so smooth and it doesn't leave any kind of residue whatsoever. It's too soon to tell if it's turning back the clock, but I do love the way my skin looks when I use this, so I'll definitely continue to do so.
Step 3: Moisturize
The Bare Haven moisturizer comes in a jar (not a fan of that) and has a medium-weight texture...somewhere in between a body butter and a thinner lotion. It melts right into my skin and disappears without leaving any greasy residue, but it's not quite enough moisture for me right now. I think it would be better on someone with normal skin, so next time I'll probably try the Butter Drench cream instead, which is meant for drier skin types. I should also mention that this has a light, fresh, citrusy scent for those of you who are sensitive. The fragrance is all natural, so it may not bother some people who react to synthetics.
Here's what they all look like swatched on my skin...the Pure Plush cleanser is on top and you can see how thick and rich it is. By contrast, the Skinlongevity serum is very thin and watery. The Bare Haven cream on the bottom is in between the two, texture-wise.

Overall, I'm loving the Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion and will continue to keep on using it, but I'm not as happy with the other two products in the kit at the moment because they don't provide enough moisture for my ultra-dry skin...totally not the products' fault, they just weren't right for me.
I probably would have done better with the cleansing oil and Butter Drench cream instead, but they didn't have a kit with those options available. I'll hang on to both and try them again when the weather warms up because they may work better for me when my skin is more on the normal side.
The entire Skinsorials range can be found at Ulta.com and Sephora.com (Sephora has individual products only...no kits).

Alice In Wonderland: Through The Looking Glass
Why a fairytale should be considered as a movie for females you may ask. Well if you have seen the first part you would know that Alice is a strong headed girl who defies the norms of the 19th century society, she would much rather be independent than to live with a man for his wealth. She is an amazing example of how girls should be in the modern day as well. This has been depicted in an epic fashion by Mia Wasikowska. Alice through the looking glass is a sequel to the movie Alice in wonderland. Before we talk

(There are also a few skin lightening creams that just don't live up to their name.)

A Better Alternative for Thinning Aging Nail Polish!
 |
| You'll love that this method preserves the integrity of your nail polishes and get more time out of that old polish. |
Thinning nail polishes that have thickened over time with plain nail polish remover may appear to help in the beginning, but this is deceptive. Though it may seem to solve the issue, what you are really doing is slowly altering the formula. In the days ahead that tampered with polish is already in the process of breaking down. Instead, let me show you a better way to tackle this common problem.
I suggest you invest in a nail varnish thinner that can range from $4.00 to about $12.00, which won’t corrupt the chemical composition.
Do try this nail tip because it works so much better than the old thinning trick with nail polish remover!
