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!

PUR Joystick

Beauty Bag Dolls I am very excited today to be sharing with you something that I have been using for a little while now and it has truly helped clear my skin from the little bit of acne I have been struggling with again. My acne comes and goes as it pleases and thanks to the PUR Joystick it has gone. This is a little miracle stick and if you would like to learn more please read on.

The Pur Joystick is pictured on the left and has been a skin savoir! 

First I am sure you all know how much I love to use masks and exfoliate my skin. I find this to be a very important step even though my skin is sensitive and acne prone. The first product I decided to try out was the PUR Joystick. The Joystick is described as an "all-in-one cleanser, exfoliator and toner foams on contact to instantly draw out dirt, oil and impurities with charcoal and Moroccan Lava Clay. Suitable for all skin types, but specifically formulated for congested, acne-prone skin."  Now when I read it was formulated for acne prone skin I was instantly drawn to it. I used it on clean makeup free skin that was damp. It was easy to roll up the stick it come in and run it across my face in a circular motion. I massaged it to a cream lather and rinsed. My skin looked and felt refreshed along with being brighter. I used this twice a week and noticed improvement in my skin's texture immediately. I love the PUR Joystick and will not be without it. This is without a doubt a beauty bag must have and a 5 $$$$$ that gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

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!
