At my age it is a shame that I still have to deal with acne. Yes, I’m talking about pimples at 40+! And, don’t even get me started on the red blotches and age spots. Fortunately, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream helps me deal with all of these problems.

Review:

In high school I was fortunate enough to have clear skin. I didn’t have acne, pimples, or blemishes. I wore makeup, but I never had to wear foundation or concealer. Guess what? Those days are gone! Long gone…

Now, thanks to hormones and spending too much time in the sun, I have to deal with pimples, blemishes, and age spots all at the same time. Oh, and wrinkles. I’ve got some fine lines and wrinkles popping up too!

It doesn’t seem fair or right that a 40+ woman should have all of these things going on simultaneously. What’s that you say? You feel my pain because you too are experiencing adult acne along with other imperfections. Excellent! Now I know I’m not alone in my misery.

Well, let me tell you about a product that has helped me deal with these problems. It doesn’t get rid of the problems, but it will make it so no one has to know that you have skin problems.

What is this miracle worker? Bye Bye Redness Correcting Cream by IT Cosmetics.

I use this this amazing correcting cream to hide every imperfection on my face from zits to brown spots to rashes.

Sometimes I’ll use it like a foundation and cover my entire face with Bye Bye Redness. Other times I’ll use it like a concealer to spot treat problem areas. I’ve used it with and without primer. I have mixed it with my favorite CC cream. No matter how I use it, I love the results I get with Bye Bye Redness – no zits, no red blotches, no age spots, etc.

As a woman with fine, color treated hair, I’m always searching for products that will give me voluminous, healthy looking hair. REVIV3 ProCare MEND Deep Repair Hair Masque does just that!

(Product sent in exchange for review. All opinions expressed are my own.)

They also claim this masque will revive elasticity, repair damage and increase shine, body and moisture without adding weight. Lastly, they promise it will limit chemical stress on all hair types.

Review:

Coloring and highlighting give my hair a fun, fresh look, but those chemical processes can be harsh and drying. Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers also take a toll on my hair. So I’m always scoping out products that will help restore the health and moisture of my hair. But, I have to be careful because I have very fine hair and many deep conditioning and shine products actually weigh my hair down or make it greasy.

REVIV3 ProCare MEND Deep Repair Hair Masque is different. This unique deep penetrating treatment not only restores the life of my hair it also gives it extra body.

Before I ever styled or dried my hair I could feel a difference with MEND Deep Repair Hair Masque. My hair felt silkier and was easier to work with when it was wet after just one application.

After using REVIV3 ProCare MEND for several weeks I can honestly tell you that my hair feels softer and looks healthier on the days I use this product. I’m very happy with the results and would recommend it to anyone looking to restore the health and shine of their hair.

In addition to MEND, I also used REVIV3 THICKEN Thickening Spray to create the looks depicted below.
