Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum

Beauty Bag Dolls I am so happy to bring you a new review of the Innisfree Retinol Green Tea PDRN Firming Serum. I was lucky enough to receive this complimentary from Skeepers and Innisfree. I wrote my review for Skeepers after using this for three days because I was so excited about my results. I will post my initial review that I left for Skeepers and an update. This is sold at Sephora for $37.00. I hesitate with Retinol for a multiple reasons but this one has green tea which I heard good things about. So I tried it and well read on.

This is the best Retinol serum I have tried in a long time! I cannot wait to try more from Innisfree!


My Review:

This is the best firming serum. I have used it twice daily and I saw results within 3 days. The lines on my forehead softened significantly. I never had any  sensitivity just results that I am happy with. It also has no scent and absorbs quickly. 
The texture is very light and absorbs quickly!




Update: I have not stopped using it and the results are amazing. My skin is firmer and my funes lines are diminish. Give this a try. You won't regret it.

The Naked Beauty Box Subscription- September 2020

Beauty Bag Dolls fall is upon us and with it being so close I always start to switch up my skincare routine. I am so thrilled that as I began to start to look at my skincare routine switch-up The Naked Beauty Box Subscription box arrived for September 2020 because it has  a lot of product I will incorporate into my routine. I want to get to the review of this amazing subscription box because it always includes 5 full size products that are all skincare and always amazing and so thoughtfully curated. I have a 25% coupon code you can use at checkout for your first box and it is coupon code:Anna25 At the end on my review I will list the pricing details. Now read on to learn more about the awesome September 2020 The Naked Beauty Box Subscription.
save 25% on your first box with coupon code: Anna25 at check out.

When this arrived I could be happier and then I had to choose which mask I wanted to try first since I am such a mask obsessive person and upon looking at both I decided that that evening my skin could really use the Limese Brightening & Glow Up Mask. This mask is a sheet mask you wear for around 20 minutes on clean dry skin and then pat in the remaining essence. My skin felt really soft and glowing. This is also very friendly for my acne prone skin since it reduces redness and pore size. I loved it and will be ordering a few more. That same night I decided I would give the Voesh Gloves a try. I have used hand gloves before but these are by far superior because they have a great fit and feel awesome on my hands. The finger tips also remove so you can give yourself a manicure while treating your hands or even check your texts. This mask left my hands feeling very soft and supple and you only need to keep it on for 10 minutes but I did it for 15. When the hand gloves came off I jumped at the chance to try the Wicked Good Nail & Cuticle Oil which was an unscented oil that was not sticky or tacky at all. In face I brushed it on and instantly my nails and cuticles were hydrated and looked like my home manicure was a professional one. I will be using this at least twice a week because it was something I needed but did not know it. The Voesh Gloves and Wicked Good Nail & Cuticle oil will be something I repurchase. Purchase your The Naked Beauty Box now and save 25% with Coupon Code: Anna25 at checkout 


The last two products in The Naked Beauty Box Subscription were both something I could not wait to try so I tried them both on the same night during my evening skincare routine. The Orglamix Turmeric Mask was one I could not wait to try because it it is a scrub and mask in one which means I get to do two parts on my routine in one step and this mask fights acne, scars and brightens dull skin. I have been looking at my skin and it has been a little dull lately. This is only a 10 minutes mask you can use 3 times a week but wow I saw the difference after one use. My skin was instantly brighter and glowing. After my third treatment I could see acne scars fading to nothing which was a total surprise and no new pimples had appeared due to Maskne-acne from wearing face covering for Covid-19 protection. This mask has already been repurchased as well as a few other things from the brand. Finally the fifth product is the No Cosmetics Retinol Serum. I am pretty picky when it comes retinol but after reading the details of it I saw that it was going to be one of the most gentle retinols I will ever try and it was. After using it for around 3 or 4 days I could see a softening of the fine lines and I had absolutely no irritation. I love other products from this brand that The Naked Beauty Box introduced me to so I am going to repurchase when I am about half empty. Purchase your The Naked Beauty Box now and save 25% with Coupon Code: Anna25 at checkout

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!

I am going to start of easy with skincare and not get into fall makeup looks just yet!

To learn more and buy L'Oreal Paris Skincare visit http://www.lorealparisusa.com/en/Products/Skin-Care.aspx
L'Oreal Paris Skincare is a BeautyBag Must Have for all!

The first product I received is the L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Day Lotion Moisturizer with SPF 30. I love this moisturizer I wear on day that my skin feels dry and dull because it gives it a refreshed effect that is non-greasy and air whipped texture. Its amazing the moisturizer is infused with 5 essential oils including English lavender, rosemary leaf, geranium, orange peel and roman chamomile. It perfect for daily use alone or with makeup. I love that I can just apply this and not have to worry about SPF and I can bring this down to neck and chest to make sure I am using anti-aging skincare as well. This did not irate my sensitive skin and I saw that not only that the dryness on my forehead was hydrated but my neck as well. I give the L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Day Lotion Moisturizer with SPF 30 a 5 $$$$$ FOR ITS ABILITY TO MULTI TASK FOR THE FACE, NECK AND CHEST EFFECTIVLY WHILE BEING SENSITIVE AND NOURISHING.

Next on days that I am wearing my L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Glow Renewal Day Lotion Moisturizer with SPF 30 or not I love the L'Oreal Paris RevitaLift Moisture Blur Instant Skin Smoother with 24 Hour Hydration. This instantly erases the look of lines, wrinkles and pores. Along with that it just feels smooth, soft and velvety. My face looks amazing after just applying this one product. I love that it hydrates but looks matte so I can apply makeup smoothly right after or not! My skin truly looked transformed. My pores were blurred which made me so happy and the Pro-Retinol A infused in this moisturizer helps improve my skin over time! Its a multi tasker I can live with all day!

Finally in the Skincare game from L'Oreal Paris that I received was the L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Skin Illuminator Tinted all in 1 Moisturizer with SPF 20. This instantly evens and illuminates your skin while providing SPF 20 and 24 hour hydration! I noticed my skin looked more even in just a few days and the tint gives a lightweight coverage you can use before applying your makeup because you will end up using less foundation. I love this it feels great on the skin and leaves in looking like you have an instant glow. I use this all the time and my favorite place is to wear it to the gym for a subtle put together look. I also notice it reduced the redness around my nose which is a major plus! I give the L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Skin Illuminator Tinted all in 1 Moisturizer with SPF 20 a 5 $$$$$ FOR ITS INSTANT ABILITY TO MAKE MY SKIN LOOK GLOWING AND HYDRATED WHILE GIVING ME LIGHT COVERAGE.
