City Syn by City Cosmetics Review

 

A few weeks ago I mentioned I would be posting a review on City Cosmetics, City Syn anti-aging skin smoothing serum. Initially I had planned to use and review this product myself and share my thought with all of you, but I happened to be staying with my mom when I received my bottle of City Syn. When I told her about the product and it's claims she asked if she could be the one to test the product instead. She buttered my up a little by saying things like "you're too young for anti-aging products", "your skin is so smooth", and so I gave in and let her be the skin tester for this. So why did my mom want to try this product so bad? What is City Syn? Believe it or not it is an anti-aging product made with ingredients that mimic snake venom.

 

City Syn has revolutionized the way we treat wrinkles with its silky, lightweight formula infused with SYN-AKE, a rare form of synthetic snake venom. Celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss, and Victoria Beckham are all abuzz over its anti-aging, wrinkle-reducing properties. By mimicking the reactions that cause muscles to move or contract, this serum effectively reduces the look of lines and wrinkles, providing the ultimate skincare experience, without the pain or risk.

 

City Syn is made to replenish skin, reverse age and sun damage, smooth out creases and surface wrinkles, and leave you with a youthful complexion. Recent clinical trials show that SYN-AKE can reduce wrinkles by as much as 52% in just 28 days.

 

So what did mom have to say about this product after using it for a little over a month now? One of the first things she noticed was how nice the initial application on her skin felt. It was very lightweight, absorbed quickly, did not leave a greasy feeling, and it left her skin feeling soft to the touch. She said she could tell it was a high quality product. I asked her if she has noticed a difference in her skin since she started using City Syn and she said that the she has noticed her skin looks and feels smoother. She also has not seen any more creases or wrinkles creeping up since she has been using the serum.

 

 

Here is a picture taken of my mom just a couple of weeks ago. She is 58 and has been blessed with always looking younger then her age, she is always looking for products that will help keep her looking youthful. Her opinion is that City Syn is one of those products. You can purchase City Syn and other great products by visiting City Cosmetics.

Zim's Naturally- Based Products

I had the privileged of testing 2 great products by Zims , both of which I can say I am extremely impressed with. The 1st one that I tested was

 Max Freeze Gel 

May effectively help relieve pain from:

• Sore Muscles & Muscle Sprains
• Back, Shoulder, Neck Pain
• Painful Ankle, Knee, Hip & Elbow Joints
• Muscular Strains

This Product is GREAT ! I used this on Myself , My husband & my 16 yr old son (who skateboards everyday ) 

This Product immediately went to work without the crazy medicine smell. It was mild enough to cure small aches & pains , yet when it came to the bigger pains (like back pain ) It did the job like a champ . The price is worth every penny $9.99..

The 2nd product I tested was  Zims Original Crack Creme

Zim's CRACK Creme Original Liquid Formula is an All-Natural multi-use liquid herbal formula that softens and moisturizes dry, cracked skin. Recommended for nighttime use but can be used throughout the day as well. Use on Hands, Feet, Elbows, Cuticles & More. It was developed by a pharmacist over 60 years ago when cement workers came to him complaining of dry, cracked skin on their hands and feet. This oil formula features Arnica Flower Extract and Myrcia Oil.

Voted #1 by Pharmacists- The Pharmacy Times June 2003, 2004, 2005, & 2006 OTC Survey - Foot Care Category

I totally see why this product won for so many years ! I used this on any area that was dry & effected by the sun .. My Elbows , My heels & my hands all benefited from this product ! I will so Buy this again & again ! At $6.99 it is going to be a household staple as well as all the Zim Products

TRῡHAIR Review

TRῡHAIR by Chelsea Scott is currently one of the best selling hair care lines on HSN. Renowned beauty expert and salon owner Chelsea Scott created the TRῡHAIR line of products to offer "easy to use solutions that give big results". So whether you are in need of some more volume, extra shine, or some temporary color touch up, TRῡHAIR has got you covered.

I was sent four products in the TRῡHAIR line for review. The Extreme Volume Shampoo & Conditioner, Root Blaster Root Volumizing Spray, and Miracle Hair Serum Oil-Free Replenishing Complex. It is no secret that I have flat, limp, lifeless, and thin hair. I have shared this with Girly Girl readers on numerous occasions. The people over at TRῡHAIR asked me what my hair concerns were and after telling them, these were the products they chose for me.

I have been using the Extreme Volume Shampoo for several weeks now. The shampoo itself is very thin and runny when you put it into your hand, it does lather up a bit once you get it going through your hair, but I have noticed I have to use a bit more shampoo then I normally use to get all my hair washed. The smell is kind of a clean soap-y smell and it leaves your hair smelling nice and freshly washed even after it is rinsed out. I mean hours later my hair still smells squeaky clean. I love this because often times shampoos will give you this amazing smell upon washing your hair but it is immediately gone the moment you rinse the shampoo out of your hair. What a tease! The conditioner on the other hand is a much thicker texture. I felt like I had to rinse my hair several times after applying it to make sure that it was all out of my hair. Together this shampoo/conditioner duo gave my hair a little volume with lots of softness and manageability. I almost always blow dry my hair because it tends to get a little frizzy and I get these annoying flyaways. I noticed that even when I let my hair air dry after using these products my hair is smooth and silky. Nice!

The Root Blaster Volumizing Spray is meant to be used on your roots and the crown of your head for added lift and volume. As with most root volumizing products on my thin hair, this product did nothing for me. I truly believe that my hair is just too thin for anything like this to work. These products just leave my hair feeling stiff and looking a little greasy. I think someone with a full head of hair that just has a problem with body might benefit from this product a bit more. I am passing this along to my mom who uses similar products regularly.

The Miracle Hair Serum is the one product I was sent that I was most impressed with. Although I don't see it on TRῡHAIR's website so I am not sure if this is a new product or one that is no longer available. This product is meant to add shine and luster to your hair while creating fullness and body. It helps reduce frizziness and add moisture to dry damaged hair. The first time I used this product I was a little unsure, the product says it is oil free but when you put it on your fingertips it does have a oily feel to it. When working it through your hair it initially feels greasy but quickly absorbs into your hair and what's left is soft, shiny, frizz free, manageable hair. I use this product on my damp hair after washing and I actually think this product works a lot better at giving my hair body and volume then the Root Blaster.

If you are interested in purchasing TRῡHAIR by Chelsea Scott you can find these products and more online. You can also like TRῡHAIR on Facebook to learn more.

Skin Within 30 Day Challenge Review

Twinlab the trusted leaders in health and wellness products recently launched a new product called Skin Within. Skin Within is a daily supplement formulated to help support skin from the inside out. While some cosmetic products help reduce the visual signs of aging, Skin Within contains astaxanthin and CoQ10 both of which are key ingredients that are known to improve the health of your skin.

Astaxanthin has been clinically tested and found to significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve the moisture content of dry skin, and significantly improve skin elasticity.Coenzyme Q10,  helps to utilize oxygen as part of its important role in cellular energy metabolism. Research has also shown that CoQ10 functions in a number of other beneficial ways including free radical scavenging. Additionally, because levels of CoQ10 naturally decline with age, the addition of this antioxidant to Skin Within provides yet another powerful tool in support of healthy skin.

These are some of the results you should expect to see after 6 weeks of continual once a day use of Skin Within:

Significantly reduced fine lines and wrinkles
Improved the moisture content of dry skin
Significantly improved skin elasticity
Helped reduce oxidative stress

To get the word out about this product Twinlabs invited reviewers to join a 30 Day Skin Within Challenge!. Reviewers were sent a 30 day sample of Skin Within and asked to use the product and then share their results. I was one of those people invited to take the challenge and I accepted! After using Skin Within for 30 days I noticed my skin tone seemed to be more even, my skin felt and looked smoother, and most noticeable of all I did not have a breakout the entire time while using Skin Within. Even as an adult I tend to suffer from the occasional breakout and I have to say during the 30 day challenge I was blemish free! I think this was the main selling point for me. If I can keep my skin looking great by taking one pill a day I am all about it.

A 30 day supply of Skin Within sells for $29.99. These supplements do not contain any artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners or preservatives.

Why not take the 30 Day Skin Within Challenge!
