Cosmedica Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Cosmedica Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum

We’ve all heard it time and time again, keeping your skin hydrated is best thing you can do for your overall skin health. It’s even easier than avoiding the sun, or remembering to wear and reapply SPF. If you haven’t already heard, hyaluronic acid is a wonderous humectant, a compound that powerfully draws in moisture from the environment. It can hold 1000 times its weight in water and it naturally occurs in various human tissue for lubrication and hydration purposes. But sometimes our bodies could use a little extra serving of this magical stuff, and it’s great to get in a serum as one of the first skin products that touch and sink into your bare skin. This Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Cosmedica Skincare is by far one of the most affordable and 100% pure options I’ve found. It’s made in America and is completely paraben-free; with no added fragrances, oils, or fillers. Hyaluronic acid can help promote skin elasticity and boost collagen production, while obviously adding hydration by helping your skin retain more moisture. It can overall help the appearance of your skin in texture and complexion evenness, so I absolutely think this is something everyone can incorporate in their routine. It’s such an easy small step to take to achieve brighter, more beautiful, and well hydrated skin. I already take HA supplements daily, but I think switching to this serum is the more economical way to go.

Minkpink Bad Romance Skirt in Floral Print

Minkpink Bad Romance Skirt in Floral Print

As a lover of solid tops, tanks, and blouses, I enjoy a good printed skirt to spice things up. Spring time is synonymous with floral print and I think it’s only right I shared this piece I’m eyeing from Minkpink on ASOS. It’s got that skater skirt A-line flare and twirl to it, which I love, and a funky floral print that feels a bit vintage. I also dig the unusual pairing of mint green and rose red that’s unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. Topped off with buttons up the front and a high waistline, this skirt reminds me just a little bit of grandma’s favorite tablecloth or an unusual fabric you’d find thrifting. It’s girly meets grunge meets retro; kind of what the Minkpink label is all about.

Stars & Stripes American Flag Strapless Bikini

Stars & Stripes American Flag Strapless Bikini

It may sound silly, but I came across this bikini and immediately bookmarked it for my upcoming Midwest vacation this month. What better way to sport your American pride than dipped in red, white, and blue stars and stripes out on the lake this Memorial Day weekend? I stumbled across this adorable Americana-themed swimsuit on TradeTang, an online marketplace where you can buy goods at wholesale prices. The women’s clothing section is quite robust, and a little difficult to navigate, but this swimsuit immediately caught my attention browsing through the womens beach dresses section. Just be sure to look into the seller you’re purchasing from, their feedback rating, and any shipping fees or handling times. Do your research as you would purchasing from eBay and I think there are some great deals to be found!

VISS IPL Hair Removal System

VISS IPL Hair Removal System

Ladies and gents, we’re going to talk about something not so glamorous here. Lately I’ve been reading up a lot on high tech beauty gadgets, a world I haven’t dabbled much in besides my experience with the Clarisonic Mia. Laser hair removal has always been something that I didn’t think was for me, but I’ve seen several review videos of this exact IPL system by myVISS which piqued my interest. IPL stands for Intense Pulsed Light, which is technically a bright, broad-spectrum light that can zap hair and eliminate it at the root. Sure it sounds scary, but it’s basically a simplified laser treatment that some people pay lots of money to have done at medical spas. This VISS IPL system is a super simple at-home device that uses changeable light cartridges that you flash against dry skin. From the reviews I’ve read and videos I watched, lots of people have had great results with no hair growing back and at the very least, having reduced hair regrowth that is finer and thinner. While this is an expensive kit, I think it’s absolutely brilliant there are different cartridge add-ons that are suitable also for treating acne and blemishes, reducing sebum and killing bacteria. From what I hear, the lamp cartridges give you a really good value versus going for regular waxings at the salon or treatments at a medical spa. It’s painless, easy to use, compact, and totally high tech. Definitely a gadget that will pay for itself if you’re a regular salon waxer or a spa facial junkie.

Romantic Ruffles Dress

Romantic Ruffles Dress

A fantastic way to wear a dress but not show too much skin is choosing something with a high-low hem. This dress from Pink Rust Boutique is a prime example! The cascading ruffles and high-low cut of the skirt  give it the right amount of flirt and movement. It shows just the right amount of bare leg and leg behind a sheer veil of fabric. The braided empire waistline and braided sash also give this dress a Grecian vibe and a nice, refined touch. I also love that it’s a one shoulder style, perfect for showing off a sunkissed glowy collarbone and décolleté. Let us not forget the gorgeous navy color that isn’t your typical spring color, but is at the heart of all things nautical. Can’t you just imagine wearing this on a yacht somewhere? I can, dipped in gold accessories, wearing a floppy hat, with a glass of white wine in hand. I absolutely adore this piece and think it’ll work for so many occasions all spring and summer long. Be sure to follow Pink Rust Boutique on Facebook for giveaways and new adorable additions to their online store!
