Age Defense Antioxidant Serum C Review

Rx Systems PF is a complete line of face and body products that are pH balanced and designed to bring out the most from your skin. Whether you are concerned about fine lines & wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, dry skin, acne or oiliness Rx Systems PF has something for you.

I was sent their Age Defense Antioxidant Serum C for review. This serum is designed to protect against damage to the skin caused by UV rays. Designed for all skin types this serum prevents premature signs of aging, lightens and brightens skin tone, and helps skin to heal. This serum is meant to be used in the evenings after cleansing and before applying moisturizer. It can be applied to face, neck and chest.

I know I have mentioned this in past posts but I am big on smells. If something smells off or bad I have a hard time overlooking this. The first thing I noticed about this product was the smell, but it was not bad. This may sound a little silly but this product smelled like my favorite dessert Creme Brulee to me. You know that burnt sugar smell? I want to eat it up everytime I apply it! It's also about the same color. I know the smell has nothing to do with how the product works but I have tried facial products in the past that smelled chemical-y and had a hard time using them. I actually enjoy applying this serum on my face! The first couple of times I used this I noticed a slight tingling sensation and a little itchiness but I was assured by the company that this was normal. I believe it is caused by the high concentration of Vitamin C in it because I have used Vitamin C capsules on my skin in the past and have gotten the same sensation.  After a couple of times the sensation ceased. The serum goes on very smooth and does not leave a oily feeling to your skin which I am always concerned about since I tend to have skin that is more on the oily side.  It is very lightweight and absorbs quickly. I think I have noticed a difference in my skin tone since I started using this. It seems brighter and I did have my husband tell me a couple of times that my skin looked really good and this was with no makeup!

You can purchase Age Defense Antioxidant Serum C online for $79.90 along with other Rx Systems PF products.

I was given the Body Moisturizing Wipes with Cocoa and Shea Butters for review and I was actually pretty excited about trying these. I am a sucker for new products, obviously, and also love products that make your life easier. OK, I know what you are thinking. How do these wipes make applying lotion easy? Let me tell you. Have you ever pumped or squirted way too much lotion onto your hands and then had to pass some on to somebody else nearby or grabbed a towel to wipe some off? Well, I am hear to say I have, it's annoying. These wipes totally eliminate this problem. Each little wipe contains enough moisturizer to treat your whole body and never too much. Another thing that makes these wipes something pretty special. They are great for traveling. You don't have to worry about your lotion bottle making a mess of your suitcase and they take up very little room. They are also the perfect size to keep in your purse. I am a believer in these wipes! They sell in packages of 30 for $4.95 but I would love it if they came out out with a larger size or maybe a handy refillable container. I would definitely buy this. Check online to find where you can purchase these for yourself.

Everyday Minerals Review

 

Everyday Minerals is dedicated to preserving the planet Each of their products is handcrafted and contain only the finest ingredients. Founder Carina Menzies believes that all natural makeup products should not cost a fortune and has created a line that is not only long lasting, versatile, gentle on the skin but is also affordable for the everyday woman.

 

I was given the opportunity to review several products from their fall collection.

 

 

Everyday Minerals Blush in Girl Friday and Ambrosia

Everyday Minerals Eye Shadow in I Do Declare, Flourish, and Wild Flowers

Everyday Minerals Brow Defining Kit which includes: Dark Brown Eyeliner, Mrs. Coffee Eyeliner, Rare Silk Eye Shadow, and an Angled Bamboo Brush

 

I do not claim to be an expert when it comes to makeup. I know what I like and I think I do a pretty good job applying my own. I am also not someone that ventures out of the neutral shades of eye makeup so I really loved the eye shadows I was sent. They are colors that I would purchase and wear daily. I have to admit I was a little scared to open up these up. I have never used loose shadow before and I imagined I would make a huge mess. Fortunately Everyday Minerals has created the perfect little container. It has small little holes that your brush can easily pickup color through without creating a colorful dusty mess everywhere. I found that these shadows were easy to apply and work great at creating a smokey eye.

 

The Brow Defining Kit sells for only $10.99 and is perfect for filling in sparse eyebrows or creating a defined brow. I found I could use the Rare Silk Eye Shadow to lighten my eyelids making them really pop. It also works at creating the illusion of bigger eyes. I admit I had a little trouble with the eyeliner, I am used to using an eyeliner pencil or liquid liner. I had trouble creating the even dark line that I usually create. Again I think this works better for creating a smokey lined eye or maybe I just don't know what I am doing. : )  I really love the brush that came in this kit so much so that I am looking into buying some of the larger bamboo face brushes.

 

As for the blush, I went ahead and gave a friend of mine the Ambrosia shade because I found it was much darker then what I am used to. I prefer a subtle rosy glow and I found that Girl Friday gave this to me. It is very easy to get just a slight hint of color or a deep colored cheek with this blush by using a large face brush.

 

I really enjoyed my experience with Everyday Minerals and I would suggest if you haven't already to give them a try.
