eb5 Skincare Intense Moisture Anti-Aging Cream Review + Giveaway

If you missed out on our Hair Challenged giveaway, fear not: there are always more chances to win on Sassy Dove. Case in point: not only are we giving away a full home teeth whitening system, but we’re also giving you an opportunity to try this fab new skin cream by eb5.

Never heard of eb5? I hadn’t either before trying out the line, but it turns out they’ve been making waves in skincare since long before I was even alive to judge celebs (not by the content of their character, but by the length of their hot pants).

Based in Portland (the cool Portland, not the one in all the Lands’ End catalogs), eb5 Skincare dates back to 1904 when pharmacist Samuel Heldfond began creating remedies for his customers. His son Robert introduced eb5’s popular “five creams in one” anti-wrinkle cream in the 1960’s. Still popular in the post-Nicki Minaj era, eb5 is considered “the original wrinkle cream.” Continue reading eb5 Skincare Intense Moisture Anti-Aging Cream Review + Giveaway

Skincare Reviews: Murad Eye Treatment Complex

murad-eye-treatment-complex-2-spf-8 reviewAs you may be able to tell from my Instagram pics, I have some eye area issues, including dark circles, deep tear troughs and some undereye baggage. It’s not age, hydration, or how well-rested I am, as women with similar problems are so often told; rather, I’ve had these since I was a child. Really. They’re in photos of me when I was six years old. The truth is, dark eye areas and deep undereye circles are common in women with Eastern European heritage, so the Hungarian blood lurking not too far up the family tree from me may be responsible for the dull divots that have haunted my face for decades.

Still, accepting that the problem isn’t my fault doesn’t make it go away; I will probably always endeavor, hopelessly or not, to rid myself of these para-ocular pains. The latest step on my journey toward the mythical miracle cure:Murad Eye Treatment Complex SPF 8.

Beauty Tips: The Ultimate Secret to Luminous Skin is Simple

The Ultimate Secret to Luminous Skin Blonde Model Skincare Tips JPGBeauty products promise us “hope in a jar” (sometimes literally) and we spend thousands of dollars a year in our collective endeavor for beautiful, youthful skin. (Meanwhile, men spend thousands of dollars a year in a similar quest for the largest TV in the neighborhood. Which is a more noble pursuit is your call.) But the real secret to looking luminous at age 25 or 45, the universal truth that’s so simple but yet so many of us refuse to accept for some reason, is one we probably all know already: hydrate. However, the secret may not be as simple as you think, and you may not be practicing this truth in the best way for your skin.

I know you’ve heard it everywhere: “Drink eight glasses of water a day.” The unfortunate truth about drinking water for your skin is that water will reach all the other organs before it reaches the skin. Plus, the effects from drinking water aren’t lasting, and drinking excess water will only cause you to pee it out. (Gross, but true.)

Skincare Reviews: Aveeno Positively Ageless Night Cream

Skincare Reviews Aveeno Positively Ageless Night CreamContinuing in my preventive maintenance approach to skincare, I tried Aveeno’s Active Naturals Positively Ageless Lifting and Firming Night Cream. The product is formulated with the ever-trendy shiitake mushroom complex and wheat proteins (because in theory, rubbing healthy foods on yourself is just as good for you as eating them).

This cream smells like your typical wrinkle cream fare, and rubs in easily without leaving a greasy film on your face. There was some minor tingling and irritation, which I assume is due to the fragrance. Tingly feelings always help to convince me the product’s working, so I thought maybe it was a marketing ploy, but not so! Read on.

Skincare Review: Athena 7 Minute Lift

Athena 7 Minute Lift Cream Review Wrinkle Cremes That WorkBecause of how many products I try, it’s very rare that one really piques my interest anymore. Athena’s 7 Minute Lift is one of the few that has succeeded in doing so. After seeing its slogan “Facelift in a Jar”, I assumed this was your typical glue-like moisturizer that might produce some results after 6 grueling weeks of daily use. Not so! Ladies, if you have wrinkles, sagging skin, laugh lines, or essentially any skin you’d like firmed and smoothed, you cannot miss out on this.

Athena 7 Minute Lift is very unique as products go. First of all, it’s not a cream so much as a thick gel – it comes with a concealer brush that you use to “paint” it onto your face and smooth problem areas. The product comes with detailed instructions on doing so, and even provides a Q&A of what to do if you have any number of problems with or questions about your results.
