Freeman Eclos Skincare



I received a perk from Klout awhile back to try out Freeman Eclos products which is mostly targeted towards women who wants to fight wrinkles. I admit, I really don't have any wrinkles at the ripe age of 29.5, but it's never too early to start right?



What is Eclos? "High-tech skin care that stems from nature. Eclos™ contains Apple Stem Cell Technology extracted from a rare Swiss Apple clinically proven to help reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture in 2 weeks. They combine this technology with a potent antioxidant and plant extract complex to help hydrate, firm, smooth, and clarify.

Skin Prep Cleanser // retail $14.99 I have a couple face washes in my shower that I like to rotate depending on how my skin feels. This one is formulated with chamomile and cucumber to soothe, revitalize and hydrate skin which is nice since my face can get pretty dry even during the summer months. I like that it leaves my face pretty squeaky clean without leaving any film behind.

Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream // retail $24.99 At first, I was pretty excited to try out this product because I love moisturizers that I can use day and night. The first night I used it, my face felt sticky after a hour of applying it. I have dogs... I don't want to go to bed with a hairy face! When I woke up the next morning, my face felt smooth and replenished.

Daily HydraPrimer SPF 30 // retail $15.99 Whhhhhhhy does this product come out brown?! I read the package looking to see if it was one of those tinted primers, but it's not. It has iron oxides which provides a light tint; broad spectrum SPF provides UV defense. Truthfully, I am not a fan of this product. It goes on pretty smooth, but my face feels dry and rough. It was recommended to apply under your foundation, but I skip that step and it rubs off pretty easily.

Skin 79 BB Cream



Hi everyone! I'm so excited to finally review my first try of BB creams. I purchased the Skin79 sample set from Amazon and I cannot say I am disappointed. In fact, I am quite delighted! The creams vary slightly in color and the silver Pearl one is the only one with some fun shimmer.


My skin tone is medium-fair and I usually wear soft beige in Chanel Double Perfection Compact. My favorite one out of the four was the light pink Diamond Collection tube. This one was pretty much perfect for my skin and had a nice velvety ivory look to it. The Skin79 colors have little variance amongst them, but the gold and dark pink tubes are slightly more yellow/dark. I would recommend these for the summer or for more medium skin tones.
What I love the most about these BB creams is that they are lighter than a foundation, but cover better than a powder. They make pores smaller and redness disappear creating a very flattering effect. So far, they are not oily on my dry/sensitive skin.

Now for the swatches.. from left to right accordingly



You can definitely see how the first two are a bit darker than the last two, but they do oxidize a bit to adjust to your skin tone. However, I do not recommend these particular ones for darker skin tones because although they oxidize, they will remain a certain shade. Instead, I would recommend Missha BB creams because they have more color shades.

I will be trying more BB creams to come, but so far I am LOVING the Skin79 Diamond collection!

Xoxo,

Jenny
