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!

You will have one day to shop the It Cosmetics IT's Your Summer Essentials! 4 Piece Collection beginning at midnight on May 24, 2019. To learn more read on and to shop the It Cosmetics QVC TSV item number here: A372237  The price $49.98 and Free Shipping and Handling. Links are now live because Presale is happening now!

The It Cosmetics IT's Your Summer Essentials! 4 Piece Collection is filled with my summer beauty bag must have that I will repurchase for fall! Shop Item Number A372237 now before this deal sells out!

First in this kit is a favorite of mine that I have been using for a while is the Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream Oil-Free Matte with SPF 40  which "delivers color-correcting full coverage, anti-aging skincare and SPF 40 broad-spectrum physical sunscreen—all with a poreless, natural-looking matte finish that lasts! This multitasking, complexion-perfecting breakthrough instantly camouflages skin imperfections including dark spots without creasing or cracking and is clinically tested to reduce shine and control oil for up to 12 hours. It's also infused with charcoal to detoxify, colloidal clay to absorb oil and tea tree extract to combat blemishes—plus, an advanced anti-aging serum made of hydrolyzed collagen, peptides, niacin, hyaluronic acid, vitamins and antioxidants."  This is going to be available in 12 shades for you to choose from. My oily skin tends to get worse if something is to high in the SPF range I never use anything past SPF 50 but the SPF 40 in this formula is perfect. I used one pump for my entire face and every flaw and my dark circles disappeared from view. It didn't feel like a heavy foundation that I could wait to take off. The best beauty tools in the game to apply your CC+ Cream Matte is the brand new in this collection Hevenly Skin Skin-Hugging Foundation Brush #707. This is described as a "unique foundation brush that hugs the contours of your face for an even application and flawless finish of your favorite liquid and cream foundations. Featuring revolutionary Heavenly Skin brush hair infused with anti-aging collagen, silk, peptides, niacin and antioxidants, the custom-cut brush head helps to improve the look of skin and optically blur the appearance of lines, pores and other imperfections.

I adore It Cosmetics brushes and to have this included in the QVC TSV is a deal in itself.  Shop the It Cosmetics QVC TSV item number here: A372237

The next product in the It Cosmetics IT's Your Summer Essentials! 4 Piece Collection is an amazing lip product. The Je Ne Sais Quoi in the Rose shade. This lip product is a hydrating color that "reacts with the warmth of your lips to create a beautiful, customized pop of color that lasts! Also infused with essential butters and oils, hyaluronic filling spheres and antioxidants, this innovative balm smooths the look of lip lines and locks in moisture for your most supple, soft results." I adore these and keep them in my beauty bag at all times. Finally in this It Cosmetics QVC TSV is the best mascara in the game, the It Cosmetics Superhero Mascara that with one coat makes my eye lashes look amazing and in all honesty sometime people think I have applied false lashes when I havent. To achieve this look It Cosmetics used a "proprietary Elastic Stretch Technology stretches the look of your lashes wider and longer, and wraps each individual lash in a volume-boosting, lengthening, ultra-conditioning black cape of power and color for your strongest, thickest, most defined results. Powerful lash-lifting polymers, volumizing collagen, strengthening biotin, proteins and peptides combined with Super Black pigment and the Lash-Changing Power Brush work together to coat every lash from base to tips—lifting lashes while separating them to create a fuller lash line and ensure that no lash is left behind."

Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream

Beauty Bag Dolls I have found my answer to my dark circles and it is from the brand that has quickly began to dominate my skincare routine what brand you ask? The brand is Drunk Elephant and the answer to my dark circles is their C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream.  I have tried a lot of different eye creams over the years and only a select few are my tried and true and I am always looking for anther one to add to my skincare routine not only did I add this I pretty much use this every day particularly each evening is my favorite way to use it. Read on to learn more about Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream and my experience.
Who knew I needed a multivitamin for my eyes?! Drunk Elephant did and its an amazing C-Tango Multivitamin  Eye Cream!

For me a multivitamin eye cream is a dream. I always want to apply something at night that will help my eye area brighten up my dark circles and keep the area firm. The Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream is described as a "rich and restorative, featuring a brightening combination of eight peptides, five forms of vitamin C and cucumber extract for firmer, stronger-looking skin around the eye area." Now don't be intimidated by the word rich (if your like me with oily eyelids the word rich is scary) because it is so fast absorbing that you will apply it and it will quickly sink in. I start by patting it in under my eye and onto my eye lid very gently. I did this every night and I woke up the first morning and immediately noticed my under eye area was brightened and by day 5 I didn't even notice my usual dark circles and by day 7 my fine lines were firm and not noticeable. I am loving this cream I mean loving! I could not ask for more when it brightens your under eye dark circles in under a weeks time. I love to mix this with their Drunk Elephant Shaba Complex Eye Serum (I still have little tiny bit left from The Little Collection review here) each night and my eye area is brightened and lifted. I am so drunk in love with my new eye cream and I want all of you to  give it a try. I am giving the Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA because it needs to be in everyone's beauty bag!

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!
