A Sparkle of Review: Equitance Brightening Serum & Spot Corrector

Disclosure: I received this serum complimentary from Influenster. All awesome opinions as always are 100% honest and my own. :)

The Equitance Brightening Serum + Spot Corrector ($125 1.0 fl. oz) is definitely one of the most effective serums I've tried that gives me visible results in brightening and spot correction as it appropriately claims.

According to their website:

-The serum is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolorations.
-It has a patented delivery system which uses Liposomes to deliver clinically brightening ingredients to the skin.
-Harper's Bazaar names it as "a top 10 dark spot corrector" and Forbes reviews it in "6 Beauty Secrets Around the Globe".

The product comes in a squeeze tube packaging that works well to control the amount of product flow. The consistency of the serum is different from the thin liquid-y ones I'm used to. This one is more like the consistency of a thin silky lotion that absorbs quickly and doesn't leave behind any tacky residue. It lays beautifully underneath any makeup or moisturizer. It is delicately scented with the most luxuriously fresh and subtle fragrance. Whenever I apply the serum it reminds of being in a relaxing spa!

Starting every morning and night I will cleanse and tone my face and apply 3 drops of the serum to my fingertips and lightly press and tap the serum all over my face and neck concentrating on my areas of dark spots and discolorations. After my first night of using it I woke up with visibly radiant skin. After nearly a month of use I can definitely tell that my freckles and areas of discolorations are much lighter and my overall skin tone is more even. I love this stuff!

A Sparkle of Review: Rimmel London's Moisture Renew Lipstick in 360 "As You Want Victoria"

Disclosure: I received this lipstick from Influenster, all awesome opinions as always are my own. :)

A couple of weeks ago I received my first Influenster VoxBox. Inside was Rimmel London's newly re-formulated Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade number 360 "As You Want Victoria". It's a bold pinky-red color. The formula is so smooth and buttery that it glides on my lips effortlessly with no pull. It is so moisturizing! The color is intensely pigmented and stains your lips almost immediately which may or may not appeal to some people. For me it's definitely a plus! After eating and drinking the glossy finish fades away but the color is beautifully stained on my lips. You can reapply afterwards or just topping your stained lips with a clear gloss would look so pretty. 

This bold pink is usually out of my comfort zone but I found it paired so nicely with a neutral eye look for the weekends. It really pulls the whole look together. I can't wait to find the other colors they offer in this line! Highly recommended!
