#SkinCareSunday some of my favorite products at the moment. @111skin a great under eye brightener. #evologie helps to get rid of acne and rid the dark scars. #TNDickinsonsWitchHazel gets all the oil and icky stuff off ur skin, cleans pores and non drying. #formula1006 PM moisturizer is not heavy and also works on brightening the skin.

June 2016 Birchbox Review

June 2016 Birchbox Review

My Birchbox arrived while i was in the middle of moving last week, so i apologize for this post coming a little late.   I chose the new Benefit Gimme Brows number 5 as my sample instead of the featured box. I chose this for 2 reasons: 1) I’m trying to up my brow game as I have some sparse spots that need filling in and 2) the items in the featured box  LOC One and DOne Shadow Stick, Davines…

Evologie Skin Care System

   One of the most annoying aspects of skin care is having to deal with adult acne , and it seems to get more difficult picking products as there seems to be a new "kit" to deal with adult acne everyday. One of the newest kits on the market is the Evologie skin care system. I put it to the test for the past two months to see if it truly stands up to it's claims. (While I received this kit complimentary from Joanee at Evologie all opinions are 100% mine) 

  Have you tried the kit? What did you think? What is your favorite acne kit? Kindly leave a comment below or tweet them to me @princesslondn and don't forget to follow me on here and on Twitter if you like my posts. 

   Let's get started with the history and purpose of the product. Evologie®’s revolutionary skincare is uniquely formulated and clinically proven to unlock skin’s natural ability to hydrate, and restore optimal skin health. For the first time, we have combined the most advanced, natural ingredients for skin health into one, powerful multi-tasking system that evolves with skin’s changing needs. Each formula works quickly and intensively to dramatically hydrate, clear and visibly improve skin’s appearance—all at once

The Evologie® Difference : Evologie®’s unique YS3 Complex® delivery system effectively penetrates skin’s epidermal barrier to deliver a powerful blend of intense, repair-boosting hydrators, protective antioxidants and essential amino acids directly to where skin needs them the most. Evologie® does it differently, effectively and naturally WITHOUT benzoyl peroxide, retinol, or other drying, irritating ingredients.

   The kit includes three steps starting with the Stay Clear Cleanser . It claims to be an advanced deep-cleansing formula, that washes away bacteria and dissolves dulling impurities without drying. Natural ingredients with soothing botanical's leave skin feeling clean, soft and radiantly refreshed.

 This cleanser is seriously deep cleansing. It was able to get off foundation, blush , bronzer etc with one cleansing.  I love how it felt silky smooth when I rubbed it  in. And it certainly is refreshing I particularity enjoyed the fact that it had no fragrance. And while it did leave my face looking clean , it did not make it feel soft , on the contrary it made my T zone feel more dry.  and it didn't make my skin look anywhere near radiant. But that could be because I have super dry skin.  In order to use this product you are supposed to Massage a dime-sized amount into skin until it forms a gentle lather. Rinse off and pat skin dry. Use twice daily.

    Intensive Blemish Serum Is meant to be a serum that rapidly banishes visible blemishes,discoloration and surface scars without irritating or over-drying your skin. The doctor developed formula with patent-pending YS3 COMPLEX penetrates the skin, going straight to the source to eliminate trapped bacteria, dirt, and oil, delivering natural skin-repairing ingredients and intense hydrators where they are needed most. Gently dab onto spots as needed. You are meant to apply this twice daily until your blemishes clear than you can stop using it and just use the cleanser and stay clear cream.

   When I first started using this serum back in October I had a few red spots on my face, and was quite excited about the results this product claimed it could give. It's been about two months that I have been using it now but it didn't live up to it's claims. I still have a few tiny red dots on my face despite the fact that I followed their directions.

 Evologie also  claims that the YS3 Complex goes directly to the source to eliminate bacteria etc.. but I just felt like it was sitting on my skin no matter how much I rubbed it in. I also disliked the feel of this product it felt a little sticky. I did like that it was fragrance free though. 

The final step is the Stay Clear Cream: This is meant to be put on at  night and day as a moisturizer. It combines moisturizers, antioxidants, and collagen boosters in patent-pending YS3 COMPLEX to strengthen skin’s natural protective barrier and prevent moisture loss. The ingredients work together to maintain critical moisture deep within skin’s surface, visibly brighten discoloration, restore smooth texture and help prevent breakouts.

   While it didn't brighten any discoloration or prevent breakouts it is seriously moisturizing. My forehead feels much smoother now and I am experiencing way less dry patch break outs. This was my favorite part of the kit.

 Overall I would give it a 6 out of 10.  The products do have some good benefits they sadly didn't work on my skin. Plus the fact that the cleanser came in such a big size and the other two bottles were Barbie sized compared to it seemed a bit confusing to me. 

  I would not recommend this for someone with very dry skin or who tends to break out easily. But this could work very well for someone with an occasional breakout.

 I hope you enjoyed this review thanks for reading !

Hot Weather Staples

Hi, friends! It's the first of the month, and you know what that means: The Beauty & Fashion Blog Community blog hop! This month, we're sweating up a storm (isn't that a lovely image?) so we're sharing tips on how to keep looking fresh-faced. Let's get started!

I have combination skin, so in the summer months I like to switch to a lighter PM moisturizer (for my T-zone's sake). Right now I've been using EVOLOGIE's Stay Clear Cream ($62 for 1oz) to keep the acne at bay, because blackheads are loving me right now and it's just not cool. This is the sample size from their duo pack. It has 2% salicylic acid, and they don't advertise what the pH level is, but it must be somewhere around the right mark because it seems to be working. I use this everywhere else but my cheeks, since my cheeks have enough trouble staying hydrated and I never have a problem with acne there. My dry cheeks are divas and get a separate night cream. Wow, I never thought I would become the person that uses two separate night creams, but combination skin is a pain in the butt. (Read more: April Favorites, May Favorites)

EVOLOGIE's Stay Clear Cream

Something about the sweltering hot weather makes me incredibly lazy, so I use products like SOLSCENTS Angelica SPF 30 Sunscreen ($14.95 for 8oz) to combine steps in my daily routine. This is not only a sunscreen, but also a lotion and fragrance. It smells great, leaves my body feeling nice and soft, and it has SPF 30! It's affordable, too, so it pretty much fills all requirements on the checklist. (Read more: Full Review, Beach & Pool Bag Essentials)

You may apply sunscreen to your body, but do you ever forget your lips? I use the SOLSCENTS Raspberry Dreams SPF 15 Lip Balm ($3.95) whenever I go to the beach, or even when I'm just bumming around. It goes on smoothly, leaves my lips feeling soft, and it has a great, fruity taste.  (Read more: Full Review, Beach & Pool Bag Essentials)

There is no other time when I definitely need a setting powder than when it is 80+ degrees Fahrenheit outside. My go-to powder is the NYC Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder in Translucent ($2.79 for .7oz), because it's cheap and it works. I use this on my T-zone whenever I apply any face products, and sometimes even when I'm not wearing anything. My current AM moisturizer has SPF 30 in it, which tends to make me look a little greasy, so this clears that right up. It's really an amazing drugstore powder. It's no Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder, but it does everything a powder's supposed to do, and did I mention it's $3? (Read more: 2013 Makeup Favorites, June 2013 Makeup Routine)

I usually use my E.L.F. Studio Makeup Mist & Set ($3 for 2.02oz) to foil my eyeshadows or turn a loose eyeshadow into an eyeliner, but in the summer I use it as a setting spray. I hear it's not as good as the Skindinavia setting sprays, but for someone who doesn't need that much help or just wants that extra bit of reassurance that her makeup will last all day, this works perfectly.

A bright nail polish is a hot weather essential of mine, and one of my favorite discoveries this summer has been  Essie Come Here ($8.50 for .5oz) This particular one is from their Essie Resort 2013 Collection. It's a beautiful neon coral color that just screams summer to me. As usual with Essie nail polishes, this formula is this is great. I have no complaints, except maybe that they're $8.50 per polish. Yikes.

And here is a fashion category, because beauty buffs need clothes, too. 

An important hot weather staple to me is a cute, comfortable pair of sandals. I almost exclusively buy Sofft and Aerosoles shoes nowadays, because I have countless foot/ankle/back problems, and I don't like being any more uncomfortable than I have to be. I got these babies for $20 at Marshalls (God bless Marshall's), and they're so soft and cushiony! They're also cute, and the ankle strap really makes my feet feel secure, since I sprained my right ankle months ago. And yes, I took of the size-8 sticker before I wore them out. The world now knows what shoe size I am, rejoice. I think they might have been last season or something, since I can't find them on the website, but just check out Marshalls/TJ Maxx for discounted, comfy shoes!

A cute pair of sunglasses is also very necessary. I never really spend more than $10 for a pair of sunglasses, because at some point they will break on me, and I will hate myself for spending more than that when they do. I know that more expensive ones probably have more UV protection and all that, but I guess you can call me Scrooge. I've been wearing these ones from Charlotte Russe lately. They're light in color, so they don't overpower my blonde hair and fair skin, and they're not so big that I look like a bug.
