Goodbye old look, Hello new Derma E!

Derma E.  The brand that you have come to know and love has gotten a facelift.  Come to love the new look of Derma E...

Hello everyone!  All you Derma E fans out there....they now have a new look!  The skincare you have to know and love now has an updated look.  New look, but same amazing, award-winning formulas from the company you have come to  trust.  Having started in September, Derma E launched the new look and will be rolling it to all retailers by May of 2017.  The first lines getting the new revamp are the Hydrating, Anti Wrinkle line, Firming and their much loved Microdermabrasion Scrub + Overnight Peel.

First up, we have Derma E's Hydrating Day Cream.  Now I received the old style packaging of this, but that in no way hinders the amazing product inside.  The Hydrating Day Cream claims that it  "helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by replumping skin with moisture.  Hyaluronic Acid delivers powerful hydration to keep skin soft, smooth and youthful looking.  Vitamins A, C & E plus antioxidant Green Tea help protect skin from environmental damage." - Derma E

What I love about this cream in particular is how it really a heavy weight moisturizer, yet its formula is so lightweight!  Once blended onto the skin, you feel so soft and plumped.  The Day Cream does really well and delivering a quick shot of moisture when and where you need it.  It comes with the loveliest fragrance that is half flowery, half herbal, all subtle and does dissipate within minutes of application.  Perfect for those with sensative skin and those wanting to incorporate a moisturizing cream without fear of a major facial setback.      

Here is what the old packaging looked like.  Still beautiful, and the product inside was still the same, ever trusted skincare you've come to love.  Now it just has a beautiful new look!





I also received the Hydrating Night Cream...

This luxurious feeling cream is just like the day cream in that it packs a plumping and moisturizing punch to your skin but in a rich, nourishing formula. Derma E tells us that "this extra-rich, intensely hydrating night cream replenishes anti-aging moisture to skin while you sleep.  Vegan based Hyaluronic Acid replumps the skin, reducing the appearance of dryness, fine lines & wrinkles.  Also contains  antioxidant-rich Green Tea and enriching Vitamins A, C and E to help soften and smooth the look of dehydrated skin." - Derma E

Well, now that we know why I love them,  go HERE and learn about their entire line of ranges including Essentials, Purifying, Theraputic, Sensative Skin, Very Clear, Sun Care and more.

OCC Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Rhythm Box

When it comes to Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars...I am a bit late on joining the bandwagon.  After checking out tons of pictures, blogs, reviews, videos...though pretty, I thought I would never purchase one.  I am loyal to my matte lipsticks and do not see a need for green or blue lip products in my personal makeup bag.  But they kept calling my name.  Here today is my latest acquisition...OCC Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Rhythm Box.

OCC's Lip Tar Stained Gloss in Rhythm Box was purchased at my local Sephora for $18.00 USD.  Rhythm Box is part of the Stained Gloss grouping of lip tars, which also includes a matte group and metallic group.  Contained inside the zippered slide pouch, you receive a squeeze tube of stained gloss that has 0.33oz of thick, liquid product.  You also get a small lip brush.  As with all of OCCs lip products, they are all 100% Vegan and Gluten-Free.

Stained Glass is the perfect way of describing these Stained Glosses.  Though full of pigment, they produce a lovely, sheer coating of color, that can be built up.  Do not expect full opacity with this product.  The texture of the Stained Glosses is that of a slightly sticky (only upon application) gloss, that "dries" down to a semi glossy effect.  Once the gloss has faded, you are left with a beautiful stain.  OCC Stained Glosses have a very subtle tinge of peppermint smell that fades to nothing, so if you are sensitive to scents, you may want to spot try this first.

Rhythm Box is a translucent burgundy color.  In the swatch above, it is reading a bit more red than it is in real time.  When layered, this has an almost balanced mix of burgundy and intense fuchsia.  When faded or lightly applied, it sheers to a fuchsia/magenta shade that can be vivid, depending on how much you layered.  The gloss faded after a few hours, with normal activity (talking, eating, drinking), but the stain lasted for about 4 hours after that.  I did feel the need to use a lip balm after the gloss had worn away as it was a bit drying, but did not cause me to have any flakiness afterwards.

If you are looking to venture into OCC lip tar territory and want to put your feet in slowly, but awesomely at the same time?...Then the Stained Gloss Lip Tars are for you!
