Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial

Beauty Bag Dolls I have an inside look to Drunk Elephant's newest addition! That's right they are launching a new mask and it doesn't drop until January 1, 2020 but I have a first look at this just dropped product and let me tell you its something you absolutely need if your like me and suffer from dry winter skin! The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is a cooling, skin-quenching over night mask that plumps and restores the balance of hydration and moisturizer levels to overly-parched and stressed skin. That description right there had me. The day this arrived I had been complaining for a few days already that after I would come home from a long day and remove my makeup my skin would still feel dry even after moisturizing. I kept saying my skin needs something more. I didn't know what so I tried those hydrating sprays and it worked for a few minutes but then by bed time my skin still felt tight and dry even my acne prone usually oily skin felt dry. However the day this arrived changed everything. Read on to learn more about my experience with Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial.

Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is what your skin needs this winter!

The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is made with Drunk Elephant's "4-electrolyte blend that helps restore the water content of skin while protecting against its loss, which makes the lipids, ceramides and oils in the formula even more effect at the job of keeping skin soft and supple." Now as I menetioned my skin has been so dry lately. Of course I must say it has been snowing where I am from, the temps are so cold and the heat is turned up in our home so I know that, that does play a roll in my skin loosing moisture. Even with moisturizer applications my skin can't keep up so when I got my hands on this and I did my usual nighttime routine which includes using one pump of Framboos, BHydra, Marula and Protini on any giving night my skin still needed more so as my last step I use about 3 pumps of the brand new  Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial and it went on nicly and did not feel heavy, greasy or slimly like some other night masks. It was indeed cooling and didn't ball up or feel tacky. I was really excited when I went to bed and woke to see it didn't ruin my pillow case and when I looked in the mirror my skin looked plump! It felt hydrated and glowed. It was also so very soft I did not want to wash it to take away the softness and clarity. F-Balm was doing its job and each night I used it to only see better results. Throughout the day my skin didn't loose its hydration, it still felt soft versus the tightness I had been feeling before starting to use F-Balm each night. For the first time in my life my skin was neither oily nor dry it was just soft and dewy! The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial is a beauty bag must have that gets a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

I knew before the F-Balm came into my skincare routine that I was missing something but now with this extra hydration and cooling my skincare routine is complete! 

As I mentioned this drops on Drunk Elephant.com and Sephora.com on January 1, 2020 and will cost $52 which is worth every dollar!

Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream

Beauty Bag Dolls the review I am about to bring to you is truly a personal one because it involves Retinol. Now if your like me with sensitive, acne prone skin that tends to be oily to dry depending on its mood you hesitate when it comes to retinol. Although I know I need it, it has always scared me because in the past if has hurt my skin instead of helping it. That being said please put all of your worries and common misconceptions behind you because Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream has broken through all of my stereotypes. Drunk Elephant describes A-Passioni Retinol Cream as "Retinol reimagined. A-Passioni Retinol Cream is a clean, cutting-edge formula that combines 1.0% vegan retinol with nourishing, superfood-rich ingredients to dramatically diminish the appearance of fine lines, deep wrinkles and sun damage revealing a vibrant, younger-looking complexion." To learn more about what this Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream does for me read on.

Drunk Elephant A-Passioni (pictured on right) has changed what I think about retinol forever! It is gentle yet effective and has helped me say good by to line, wrinkles and dark spots!

When I reach for the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream I take a look in a mirror and of course I use the retinol in strategic areas. For me I like to use it on my forehead to smooth the fine lines, on some dark spots and acne scars on my face as well as the pesky laugh lines. Now the Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream is to be used one or two times a week AM or PM gradually increasing your frequency to every other night and then every night as your skin tolerates it. I personally use this twice a week for 2 weeks and then I use it about 4 days a week there after. The recommendation from Drunk Elephant is to use a pea-size amount or less to clean dry skin which is what I did. You can also mix it with your favorite Drunk Elephant Cream or Oil I used it the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum included in the box of A-Passioni Retinol Cream and some of their Protini Polypeptide Cream. After the first application I was thrilled not to have any irritoation or redness at all (that was a first for me with Retinol) Then I used it a second time that week and had no issues. After my third application I woke up in the morning and just noticed my skin was a little dry after the 4th application dry and flakey so I used a thicker moisturizer and did not have an issue. I did continue to increase the use of the A-Passioni Retinal Cream to about 4 days a week and I had great results. My forehead fine lines had truly diminished and my acne scars were faded which meant I didn't have to use as much concealer. I can finally say that I LOVE a retinol cream and its all thanks to Drunk Elephant A-Passioni Retinol Cream! This is apart of my fall skincare routine and you must gift this one for yourself this holiday season! This is a beauty bag must that gets 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy to be bringing you a review of the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. I have used this in the past in the deluxe sizes but never in the full size and now that I have tried it in the full size I cannot see myself ever using any other Glycolic Serum. This glycolic serum like I always knew is so gentle on the skin it will make you rethink what you ever though about glycolic. To think almost a year ago before I began my Drunk Elephant journey I never touch glycolic serums because when I did my skin would react. Read on to learn more about the  Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum.

Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Serum is the BEST serum I have ever tried with Glycolic in it! Gentle yet effective at smoothing my skin and making it glow!

To start I just have to say that the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum has transformed my skin. Each night (when I have not used the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial which is a once a week mask or if I have not use their A-Passioni Retinol which I use most morning three days a week) then I reach for my T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum I would say I use this 6 nights a week even when traveling I have a deluxe size with me. The Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum has truly smoothed out my skin and added a glow that I never had before. If you have any type of texture or bumps on your face this will take care of it. I have never been happier. My skin is improved over time and you will see results in about two weeks and it gets better with and better in a month. But if your like me your asking will I see something in just one use and my answer is yes! Your skin will be brighter when you wake up the next morning. According to Drunk Elephant  the T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum is a "high-tech gel resurfaces dull skin, gently lifting dead skin cells away by dissolving the glue that holds them to the surface. Formulated with a dream team AHA/BHA blend of glycolic, lactic, tartaric, citric and salicylic acids, and blended with raspberry extract, T.L.C. Framboos sinks in easily and delivers an effective level of chemical exfoliation without the harsh side effects like dryness or sensitization. Fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration, along with excess oiliness and the appearance of pores, will appear dramatically diminished. Horse chestnut, bearberry and white tea help to calm and soothe while improving the appearance of broken capillaries. Go from a drab complexion to an absolutely luminous one, practically overnight." Now if your like me and your skin is super sensitive I beg you to give this Glycolic Night Serum a chance because it works so perfectly and is so gentle! The Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum is a beauty bag must have and get 5 $$$$$ as well as EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Drunk Elephant Travels With Me

Beauty Bag Dolls I have heard your request and I know that travel season is here with Memorial Day weekend starting tomorrow for some! I know you want to take your favorite skincare with you when your away from home and I love that Drunk Elephant truly cares to make sure you are never without your favorites. The 3 kits I will feature for you today are perfect for travel and as gifts to give this season for Fathers Day, Graduation and Brides Maids Gifts. These are also perfect to put in a gift basket for a baby shower gift to gift the mom to be. There are so many occasions the Drunk Elephant Gift Sets are perfect for as well as the skincare is absolutely top notch. You can also buy these for yourself and figure out what products you will fall in love with if you are new to the brand. The sizes are generous and you wont regret it. Read on to learn more about each kit and my experience.

I am placing all of the Drunk Elephant Travel size goodies in my beauty bag because they are all must haves when your traveling this summer! From Left Tube to Right Tube Out of Office, Rise+Glow and Night Bright. (each tube sold separately 3 tubes total).

Let me start by saying I adore the Drunk Elephant brand it has transformed my skin and my skincare routine. That being said I do highly suggest the next three kits that Drunk Elephant sells. I will start with the one called Out Of Office. It contains my absolute favorite lip balm called Lippe Balm, this is something I reviewed individually and I adore it (review here). According to the Drunk Elephant description Lippe Balm is "A slick, rich finish that clings to lips and stays a while." I could not agree more I only apply the Lippe Balm 3 times a day. The second product in this kit is brand new to me it is their D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops which according to Drunk Elephant is "Sunshine in a bottle without the damage." I cannot get enough of this since receiving it in the Out Of Office kit. With the D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops you use them like a sunless tanner. You can mix it with any of their moisturizer, serums or the included in the Out Of Office Kit Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil. I used it most often with their amazing Protini Polypeptide Cream (but do note I mix my Protini with the Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil at night for added hydration) and just leaves your skin with this amazing sun kissed look OMG my words cannot describe I love it! It was subtle and not over powering. I looked like I went on vacation and got kissed by the sun but not burnt and it did not look orange like other sunless tanning products. As mentioned you get the Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil which is the only Marula oil I allow on my acne prone skin and it helps to heal my acne scars.

The next kit is the Drunk Elephant Rise and Glow Kit. This is included very genours travel/try me sizes of their C-Firma Day Serum and B-Hydra Intesive Hyration Serum both of which I am already a fan of since trying them in the Little collection (review here). The  C-Firma Day Serum is described as a "revolutionary vitamin C serum packed with a powerful antioxidant complex of L-Ascorbic and Ferulic acids to reveal a brighter, firmer and more even-looking complexion." I adore my results and how gentle it is on my sensitive skin. The second product is the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum which is the best serum for my acne prone. Drunk Elephant describes it as a "cool drink of water for your thirsty skin, this ultra-hydrating serum replenishes the complexion and improves the look of skin texture and tone."  My skin drank this in quickly and my texture has improved. The Rise and Glow kit is just what you need to take with you on vacation and keep you skincare routine going without any interuptions!

The final kit you can get is the Night Bright kit which includes my absolute favorite night serum in the world the Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum. I could never use a glycolic serum on my sensitive skin until the Drunk Elephant one came into my life in the Littles Collection. The Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum improved my skins texture in just days wiht nighly use I love mixing it in with the included Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil included in the Night Bright kit for added nourishment. I am never without this duo and its just what you need when your on vacation and your skin can get disrupted from it usual balance. 

These 3 kits from Drunk Elephant are all beauty bag must have for on the go and to give as gifts. They are 5 $$$$$ and get EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream

Oh Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy because I am lucky enough to be brining you another review from my new favorite brand I say new because I have been using Drunk Elephant products since January of this year and my skin has been loving it! The latest must have I am adding to my Drunk Elephant skincare routine is the Protini Polypepide Cream. This cream is more than a moisturizer for me. It is packed with "9 signal peptides (made up of amino acids that form proteins in the skin) are cell-communicating and serve to bind moisture to skin, plump, firm and restore bounce to skin’s appearance, helping to boost skin’s self-renewal." I adore the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream for so many reasons and to find out why read on.

The Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream is a skin savoir. My skin is plump and hydrated thanks to Protini and I will never be without it in my Beauty Bag! 

It is no secret that my skin is combination, sensitive and acne prone. At times its oily and at times its dry. No matter what I always use a moisturizer however it is difficult to find one that doenst cause a breakout or sensitivity, until now! I will tell you right now this does not cause any skin irritation and I have not had any breakouts in fact it helps to heal while it moisturizes my skin perfectly causeing it to just be balanced. Its not too oily and its never super dry. The Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream truly helps, it aborbs quickly which is great in the AM when you apply makeup after and in the evening when I like to combine it with the B-Hydra Intensive Serum (I have a little left from the Littles Collection click here for review) Its also perfect in my AM routine when I mix it in with the little bit of C-Firma Day Serum I have left for the Littles collection review here. The best way it helps is on the 3 or 4 days a week I use the A-Passioni Retinal Cream (full review of A-Passioni here) it really keeps your skin balanced and I never have any dryness. The  Protini Polypeptide Cream has plumped my skin with hydration and nutrients and none of the bad stuff that other skincare lines have. I also noticed that my skin is much more firm which is something I have been wanting in a moisturizer and didn't fine until the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream came into my life. I have never been more impressed by a moisturizer than I am by the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream and I have tried their LaLa Retro Cream which is also awesome! I also tried that in the Little collection full review here. I am drunk in love with  Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream along with many other products from the line and the Protini Polypepetide Cream is a 5 $$$$$ and it gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
