The weather here in the Midwest cannot make up its mind.  Technically, it is winter still.  But we have been up and down with days that are super cold or unusually warm for the season and it is wrecking havoc on my skin.  Thankfully, Valentia came through with this amazing duo that has quelled the dryness beast!

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask and True Glow Eye Cream are two powerhouse hydration products from Valentia.  Here are the facts:

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask:
*contains 4 fl.oz/120ml of mask product
*plastic, screw top jar

True Glow Eye Cream:
*contains 1.18 fl.oz/35ml
*glass jar with pump topper

Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask...let us get to know you!
"Silk Protein Amino Acid blend: These natural miracles increase moisture content and help in the production of collagen and elastin which decreases the appearance of visible lines.

Botanical Hyaluronic Acid: Penetrates deep into the skin to secure moisture and plump skin from within.

Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil: An anti-aging wonder berry that results in fewer fine lines, diminished sun spots, more even skin tone, and firmer, more supple skin.

Japanese Green Tea: Contains catechins that provide anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant effects to the skin.

Aloe Vera: This botanical moisturizes skin and fight aging by improving skin firmness." - Valentia

This mask is nice and cooling on the skin.  When worn for the allotted time, you get a really nice brightening effect.  And this softens too!  Once done, skin is plumper, softer, bright and dewy.  This mask is on the gelatinous side and is easy to spread on the skin.  There is a moderate level scent of facial cream and citrus.  I experienced no tingling or irritation.  Played very well with my other skincare.

Shiny, slightly orange mask goodness!

Now, we can't forget the eyes...can we?

True Glow Eye Cream
"Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, and restores elasticity to the skin.

Resistem: Natural plant stem cells repair and protect the skin from harsh environmental pollutants and stress related aging.

Vitamin C: Leaves the skin smooth and visibly brighter for a well-rested and bright eyed look.

Organic Rosehip Oil: Provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Arnica: A key anti-inflammatory agent to the restorative process that works to diminish the appearance of dark circles." - Valentia

This "cream", more like a thicker, opaque serum, is a moisturizing, quickly absorbing wonder.  Water and Aloe juice are high on the ingredients list and your eye area will definitely tell the difference.
Now, I do not know what it is because I cannot find anything else on the ingredients that would constitute a shine/shimmer/glitter, but this stuff really brightens!  It just wakes the under eye area right up!  Once absorbed, the area of application is left smooth and ready for makeup/other skincare.  I am happy to report this also played well with my other skincare and has not caused my various concealers/correctors to crease!  Do note, this cream is also scented, more of a muted citrus scent than the mask, but does dissipate after application.

Creamy, glowy, and oh so nice!

I am really happy with the quality of the products Valentia offers.  Natural ingredients, cruelty free and just effective.  I look forward to seeing what else this company has to offer and hope that they keep releasing amazing products.

Anavita Moisturizer Anti-Wrinkle Cream

When you first use Anavita Anti-Wrinkle Cream, they advise you to let some time pass before starting this cream.  I find that letting your skin phase out of your previous skincare allows for better penetration of this cream and you can tie the results back to this product.  You can use this as your day cream, night cream, and it is gentle, yet powerful enough to be used not only on your face and decolletage, but also neck and body!  That is right!  You can use this everywhere!!!

Anavita Moisturizing Anti-Wrinkle Cream - texture

Anti-Wrinkle Cream has a heavy duty feel when you grab it out of the jar, but melts quickly and easily into the skin.  Afterwards you are left with light feeling, fresh skin.  I was amazed at how light this felt as I blended it onto my face.  Once fully absorbed, this leaves your skin with a delightfully matte look!  You can even use this as a makeup base!!!  Skin is super soft after and allows for a smooth, seamless makeup application.  When used under makeup, I did not find the cream to oxidize my foundation, or change the texture of any of the other makeup used on my face.  This did not make me greasy, especially on my combination/oily skin, and played well with my eye cream and toner.  There is a scent to this product, not perfume like at all, but dissipates quickly after application.

It has been 3 weeks into my including it into my regimen , and I love it most for a makeup base!  Though the awesome moisturization has been an added bonus.  It has also been a godsend for my decolletage area.  I have very fine lines around the outside of my eyes and I am waiting to see what my results will be at the 2 month mark.
