What I think: The advancements in treating thin hair are truly amazing! This serum is so easy to use. Used once a day, it makes hair thicker. Plus, it smells really nice and fresh and make hair super soft! Hopefully over time, it will stimulate follicles to make hair grow.
I was so excited when I was recently asked to review the Tria Hair Removal Laser 4X! I have been wanting to try this cool device for years. I have light skin and dark hair, so my body hair is fairly noticeable. I get so tired of shaving every day and thought it would be amazing not to have to worry about unwanted hair.
What is the Tria Laser? From the website:
The first and only FDA-cleared hair removal laser available for home use, the Tria Laser 4X uses the same diode laser technology preferred by dermatologists. The Tria Laser 4X targets and permanently disables the hair follicle to stop hair growth on the face and body for permanent results.
I received the device in Lavender and a tube of Smoothstart Calming Gel. The gel is to apply on clean, dry and shaven skin right before using the laser. “Featuring an Indian plant extract with anti-inflammatory properties, SmoothStart Calming Gel may help diminish the sensation of the laser treatment on higher levels for best results.”
I first tried the Tria on my chin. I have some facial hair and have been wanting to remove it. The Tria has 5 energy levels. I tried it on the lowest level on my chin. It stung at first, but the more I used it the less I felt. I then tried it on my right forearm and couldn’t feel the heat at all. The next time I do my arm (you treat an every two weeks), I will try a higher setting. I am only doing one arm in hopes that I will see a difference in the hair on my arms in time.
I am going to post again in a few days to tell you how the hair is growing back on my chin and arm. I am also going to treat my underarms and will let you know what that is like!
You can purchase the Tria Laser 4X at http://www.triabeauty.com. The device is normally $449, but is selling now at a Black Friday price of $427 for the laser and 2 oz. of the SmoothStart Calming Gel.
Leave a message if you have tried Tria and let me know how it worked for you!

Can you believe that we are getting close to Thanksgiving? As it gets colder outside, I have to make sure that my skin is healthy. Because of that, I am focusing on skincare as my favorites this week.
This week I am loving cool dragon’s blood eye masks, amazing beauty oils, a firming serum and a reusable sponge, and a moisture cream that is perfect for oily skin!
Rodial Dragon’s Blood Eye Masks Pack of 8 Sets of Two
Rodial Dragon’s Blood Eye Masks ($39 for 8 sets of two) — Dragon’s Blood Eye Mask by Rodial is an innovative mask that uses the brand’s dragon blood complex to intensely hydrate and moisturize your eye area. It works as a second skin while soothing and repairing cells, and added hyaluronic acid helps plump and hydrated for a firmer, younger look. Additionally, arnica extract helps reduce the look of under-eye puffiness and dark circles for an instant, brighter-eyed appearance.
How to use: Remove each eye mask from the plastic sheet and apply directly to the under-eye area. Place the narrow side toward the nose and the wider side to the outer corner of the eye. Remove the protective fabric sheet. Leave on for 20-30 minutes and peel away. Gently massage any residue into skin.
What I think: These are so neat! You apply them under eyes, and leave them on for about 20 minutes. When removed, skin is soothed and firm. They stay on really well, so you can walk around the house and do chores if you need to! They also helped my dark cirlces.
Desert Essence Organic Coconut, Jojoba, & Coffee Oil ($16.99 USD) — NEW! This pure blend of USDA-certified Organic and Non-GMO oils enhances natural beauty while awakening the senses. Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and Organic Jojoba Oil penetrate deeply into skin to moisturize and tone, without leaving an oily residue.

Considered to be one of the greatest cosmetic oils discovered, Moringa Seed Oil is blended with Jojoba Oil to help enhance skin’s texture and glow. Rose Hip Oil, rich in GLA fatty acids, adds remarkable skin-restorative properties to this powerful natural trio. –
Desert Essence Organic Coconut & Jojoba Oil ($16.99 USD) – NEW! Two ultra-moisturizing oils help bring out the natural beauty of skin and hair in this USDA-Certified Organic, Non-GMO oil blend. Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil penetrates deeply into skin and hair, delivering rich moisture and a delicious, tropical scent. Organic Jojoba Oil mimics the structure of skin’s natural oils to quickly absorb and balance moisture levels.
What I think: These are so hydrating and sink right in to the skin. My favorite is the once with the coffee oil. It smells amazing! It is like rubbing coffee on my skin! The scent does fade, which is probably good, but the moisture remains on my skin all day. These are also great for the hair and the moringa oil is very good for hands and cuticles.
In anticipation of winter skin woes now would be a great time to revamp a step in your beauty routine.
· Take your beautyblender pure, wet and squeeze out water
· Apply 2 3 drops of REN’s Keep Young and Beautiful Instant Firming Beauty Shot
· Before you make up, gently bounce your Beauty Shot-filled pure sponge all over your face and neck.
Often touted by makeup artists and dermotologists alike as botox in a bottle, REN’s Instant Firming Beauty Shot ($54 USD) acts as a makeup primer and anti-aging serum in one. The liquid matrix of Hyalurons (yeast-derived form of Hyluraonic Acid) supercharges the skin with firming moisture. A dramatically smother, tighter and a more youthful complexon is immediately revealed making for the perfect canvas for makeup application. But the benefits don’t stop there.
This unique formula also encourages elastin synthesis to firm and remodel the skin over time. Re-apply for a mid-day refresher by applying with beautyblender pure again over makeup.
beautyblender pure ($20 USD), the famed pink sponge’s white counterpart, was made for a product-conserving, silky application of skincare. Ideal for sensitive skin, this dye-free sponge is made of the same beautyblender material and works to evenly and impeccably apply skincare with a silk-like feel (without the dirt and oils of your fingers).
What I think: As a fan of beautyblender, I was excited to try pure. It makes skincare application so easy! I added a couple of drops of the REN Beauty shot to the sponge and applied it to my skin. It works well to get even coverage on my face. I aslo like how the Beauty shot instantly firms my skin!
Both are available at Sephora and Nordstrom stores nationwide.
Korres Pomegranate Moisturising & Balancing Cream-Gel ($34 USD) –is a pore-minimizing and mattifying moisturizer delivers immediate and lasting hydration while simultaneously balancing oily to combination complexions. The unique lightweight cream-gel texture is formulated with a blend of 15 percent pomegranate water, pomegranate extract, alpine willowherb, tannins, and polyphenols. These ingredients help reduce the appearance of pores and rejuvenate the look of skin while providing a matte finish. Hyaluronic and salicylic acids combine to offer an immediate moisture boost while conditioning skin for an overall smooth appearance.
What I think: This is such a light cream it can be used day or night. It is great for people who have oily skin, but still want to add some moisture to their skin. It smells really nice, too!
Forty, Flirty & Fabulous
