Hello Bright Eyes: EmerginC Scientific Organics Eyelight Serum

December 9, 2019 · 8 Comments

EmerginC Scientific Organics Eyelight Serum is gentle enough for even sensitive eyes but packs a powerful antioxidant punch. It depuffs eyes while treating signs of aging.

EmerginC Scientific Organics Eyelight Serum uses organic and natural ingredients to brighten skin and reduce puffiness

A quick flick of this rollerball based serum takes care of morning undereye puffiness while reducing visible signs of aging. It has a unique combination of treating and soothing ingredients, many of them organic.

Contains multiple organic ingredients that nourish while brightening the delicate eye area skin

 

Ingredient Profile


Packed with lots of natural goodness, Eyelight contains:

Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants. It is 65 times stronger than Vitamin C in combating free radicals. It protects cells against oxidation or decay. It is moisturizing and has UV blocking properties.

EmergeniC EyeBright Ingredients on StyleChicks

Grape Stem Cells

Grape Stem Cells

Grape stem cells reduce sun damage while calming skin. Grape stem cells nourishing to the skin and contain building blocks for collagen production.

Kombucha

Well known as a healthy anti-aging beverage, this natural probiotic has topical benefits as well. It reduces inflammation and evens the skin tone. Packed with Vitamin Bs, it reduces wrinkles and brightens the skin. (SIDE NOTE: There is no tell-tale Komucha aroma to this product).

EmergeniC EyeBright Ingredients on StyleChicks

Seaweed

Seaweed

Seaweed is full of humectants and draws water to the skin. It contains Vitamin E and amino acids that help Seaweed plump fine wrinkles.

 

Green Tea

Green tea contains polyphenols that soothe skin while providing antioxidants. Polyphenols may improve sun-damaged skin. [1] High in Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), green tea is a major player in skin health and appearance. EGCG is the potent antioxidant from green tea. It protects against environmental damage and neutralizes free radicals that prematurely age skin. Research shows EGCG reactivates dying skin cells.  This shows promise for repairing sun damage and scar healing.  [2]

Green Tea

White Tea

White tea is exceptionally gentle yet powerful. It helps even the skin tone. It is anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It can reduce redness and inflammation around the delicate eye area, even if caused by light eczema. White tea also contains EGCG, which enables the production of new cells in the epidermis [3]. It also contains phenols which strengthen collagen and uniquely, elastin. This gives skin a bouncy, younger look while delaying wrinkles.

It has Calcium, Manganese,  Selenium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, plus fatty acids and Polyphenols. Together they nourish skin, promote collagen production, and reduce fine lines while brightening skin.

EmergeniC EyeBright Ingredients on StyleChicks

Pine Bark

Pine bark

Pine Bark improves skin hydration and elasticity while decreasing skin fatigue.

Hyaluronic acid

Holds moisture and helps other active ingredients penetrate the skin. Smooths and plumps wrinkles and fine lines.

EmergeniC EyeBright Ingredients on StyleChicks

Mallow

Mallow

This natural floral extract contains Vitamins A, C, and E. It softens while being gentle enough for the most sensitive of skin. It nourishes dry and even damaged skin, restoring elasticity.

 

My EyeLight Serum experience

I use it before applying my eye cream. It is gentle but brightening. It does not sting even when my eyes are extra sensitive. It de-puffs my morning eyes but does not leave them feeling dry like some depuffing products can. My skin is smooth and dewy.

The rollerball is quick and distributes just the right amount of product. It dries down smooth, not at all tacky or sticky. Eye cream or makeup goes on top of the serum smoothly with no pilling.

Luxury Hair Tools: The Mountaineer Comb by Tan Mujiang

November 6, 2019 · 12 Comments

Taking care of your hair shouldn’t be a task. It should be a luxurious ritual. Part of that ritual is having beautiful haircare tools, like this gorgeous The Mountaineer Comb by Tan Mujiang.

The Mountaineer Comb by Tan Mujiang

The Mountaineer Comb is both beautiful and beneficial for your hair health.

AREN’T ALL COMBS THE SAME?

No! Plastic combs are used by most people for a reason: they are cheap and easy to buy! The majority of combs you see are made of plastic. But that does not make them better. In fact, plastic combs can damage your hair. Hair breakage is common with plastic combs, and they also cause static electricity. Why would you want to use a comb that caused your hair to get frizzy due to static electricity? Additionally, plastic combs wear out far quicker than wooden combs, so you have buy them more frequently. Bad for your wallet, and bad for the environment.



SO WHY ARE WOOD COMBS A BETTER OPTION?

Several reasons:

1)  Wood combs are high-quality. A good wooden comb such as The Mountaineer will last years and will just get better over time. While the price may be a little higher than you would pay for a plastic comb, the price per use is so much lower over the years, which makes it an environmentally sustainable item!

2)  Tames Flyaway Hair

So here is a little beauty meets science lesson: human hair has a moderate positive electron charge. Basically, “flyaway hair” is static electricity at work on your hair. The motion of combing hair encourages more static electricity and more flyaway hair. Plastic and Rubber combs, due to their electron makeup, lead to even more static electricity! But wood is almost electron-neutral, so if you are combing your hair, using a wooden comb leads to the least static electricity and the least flyaway hair. A wide-tooth comb like The Mountaineer leads to even fewer flyaways!

3) Wood Hair Combs Lead to Better Distribution of Natural Hair Oils

The oil that your scalp produces isn’t a bad thing. It is your body’s own conditioner! Yes, you need to wash your hair to get out old oil and the dirt that accumulates, but the notion that you need to get rid of every bit of oil will only lead to dry hair! Use a wooden comb such as The Mountaineer to distribute your natural hair oil from root to tip for better hair health. Because wood combs distribute oil evenly, using one will lead to better hair health, and you can look forward to smooth, shiny, bouncy, and soft hair!

The same principle applies if you are doing a hair oil treatment. The oil will spread evenly with a wooden comb.

If you have long or thick hair, comb your hair in sections to distribute oil properly. I flip my head over and brush from root to tip to get the back sections of my hair – plus it feels really good! The size of The Mountaineer Comb is perfect for combing in sections: it is large enough to cover large sections quickly but easy enough to handle that fine hair can be gently combed.

And don’t worry about the oil ruining your comb – it conditions the wood as well so it will last longer!

4) Wood Combs Improve Circulation and Blood Flow to Follicles

Plastic and Rubber Combs scrape and damage your scalp. But the gentle pressure of a wood comb like The Mountaineer is like a mini-scalp massage, so it brings blood flow to your scalp. This brings nutrients and oxygen to your follicles, so your hair will grow in thicker and healthier!

5) Wood Combs are Gentle on Tangles!

Wood Combs gently ease out tangles as opposed to pulling on them. A wide-toothed comb like The Mountaineer is especially gentle on tangles and knots, so you will have less breakage!

Well spaced teeth suitable for all hair types, even curly or thick hair

The wood teeth are well spaced and do not snag the hair like man made materials such as plastic and acrylic.

WHAT MAKES THE MOUNTAINEER COMB UNIQUE?

The Mountaineer Comb is hand-painted, so each comb is unique. The comb itself is gorgeous and I love displaying it on my vanity table.

The Mountaineer is crafted from multiple kinds of wood to create its beauty and impressive results. They represent mountains, rivers, and water.

Lovely wood grain detailing

Black Ebony Wood: this type of wood is especially smooth and prevents any friction against hair.

Boxwood: Boxwood has a natural oil that makes it nourishing to hair. It won’t make your hair oily, but it won’t make your hair oily. Just smooth and shiny!

Bubinga Wood: Bubinga is especially good at preventing static and flyaway hair.

Pau Rosa Wood: Pau Rosa Wood is a dense and durable wood that is especially gentle on the scalp, making it great for sensitive scalps.

Beautiful curved design is ergonomic and showcases the wood inlay

The wood has a luxe, natural luster


HOW I USE MY THE MOUNTAINEER COMB

I like to use the comb on clean hair at night after I have washed out any residue from styling products. The sensation of the wooden teeth against my scalp is soothing and relaxing before I go to bed, and makes me calmer and ready for a great night’s sleep! It is so soothing! Gentle scalp stimulation leads to the release of endorphins, so it is an amazing part of any relaxation routine before bed!

THE MOUNTAINEER COMB IS A GREAT GIFT!

Looking for a luxurious gift for someone whose hair routine is a ritual? The Mountaineer Comb is a great gift! It comes in a gorgeous, luxe box that is eminently suitable for gifting. As mentioned above, each comb is hand-painted, so each piece is unique.

Skincare Tools: Rose Quartz Roller & Gua Sha Tool Set

November 3, 2019 · 11 Comments

Gemstone Rollers offer a massaging, relaxing experience while improving skin. Rose Quartz rollers feel and work amazingly with your favorite facial oil. The roller smoothes oils, creams and serums on easily and aid absorption. The gentle rolling encourages lymph drainage. We found an excellent set: the Beauty & Wishes Rose Quartz Roller & Gua Sha Tool Set

ABOUT This Beauty & Wishes SET

This skincare tool set comes in Rose Quartz or Jade. This gift-boxed set includes:

 

Gemstone ROLLER and Gua Sha STAND

We love that this comes with a stand. This keeps the delicate gemstone surfaces safe. The stand also keeps the roller and Gua Sha free of surface bacteria on counters, makeup bags or vanities. And it is pretty on my vanity table.

Perfect on a vanity table

GUA SHA SCRAPING MASSAGE TOOL

This set contains a gua sha scraping massage facial tool. Gua Sha is an ancient alternative remedy practice. Gua Sha stimulates skin renewal with lymphatic drainage and increased blood flow. Improved blood flow assists in collagen production. Gua Sha facial tools are designed to improve circulation by gently scraping the skin. This non-invasive treatment can reduce puffiness and inflammation.

Smooth and thick Gua Sha Tools in Rose Quartz and Jade

Also:

  • Attractive drawer-style box with satin interior
  • Instruction guidebook with skincare preservation tips
  • A lifetime warranty and authenticity certificate for the stone and the product.

Gift box

 

ABOUT Jade and Rose Quartz Gemstones

This set uses quality Brazilian Stones. This set is available in Rose Quartz or Jade. Each stone has different properties and advantages within skincare.

Both Jade and Rose Quartz are non-porous. They do not absorb skincare products during treatment. Both clean easily. Both are more hygienic than using fingers for skin product application. Both Jade and Rose Quartz flush toxins via lymphatic drainage.

Both Rose Quartz and Jade gemstones enable product absorption and skin enhancement

ROSE QUARTZ ROLLERS

Carved rose quartz is exceptionally smooth.  Rose quartz stays cool when rolling on the skin. Rose Quartz has been used for centuries for its skin-nourishing properties. Rose quartz treatments drain fluid and promote natural detoxification. It boosts circulation, improves elasticity and promotes cell turnover. This results in brighter, healthier skin that glows.

Rose Quartz Gemstone set

JADE ROLLERS

Jade is pure and durable. Jade is ideal for products benefiting from warming to enhance absorption. An example might be facial oils and thicker night creams like Creme de la Mer. It is particularly helpful at reducing redness, dark circles, and puffiness.

Jade has lovely natural color variations

 

CONSTRUCTION

The roller uses thick brackets. This is important because skinny brackets can break easily.  Both rose quartz and jade, once carved, are durable and can last a long time.

Thick and durable brackets

Use

After cleansing and toning, smooth a few drops of facial oil or luxe cream into the skin. Glide the roller gently outwards on the face and down the throat. Don’t press vigorously, a gentle smooth motion works best.

Lovely rose quartz color variants are seen in the crystal

 

MY EXPERIENCE

The roller is non-squeaky and moves smoothly.

Morning

I pop my roller in the refrigerator at night to use it chilled in the morning. Using it in the morning depuffs my skin. It eases pillow wrinkles on my face and reduces eye puffiness. I feel and look more awake. It also helps with clogged sinuses.

Evening

Facial rolling is relaxing and de-stressing!

It makes putting on my night time creams and serums feel like a spa-like ritual. It also helps me distribute the creams easily. Since the roller doesn’t absorb any product, none of my precious cream or serum goes to waste. It also helps my product absorb into the skin. I LOVE using the roller with squalene and oils, as well as hyaluronic acid paired products.

A perfect set of tools to use with some of my favorite skincare creams and serums

 

 

 

On the vanity table

 

Rollers don’t absorb skincare products, so they don’t waste a single drop of precious serums!

 

TIPS FOR ROLLER USE

  • Glide gently on the skin in an outward direction for lymphatic drainage.
  • Place the roller in the refrigerator to enhance the cooling sensation. Great for reducing swelling and inflammation.
  • Place it in a cup of warm water to help serums and oils best penetrate.
  • Roll in gentle upward strokes on your neck and face.
  • We love to use it with DPL red light to promote drainage and help product absorption
  • Soak in warm water before using over masks or serums to help penetration of products.
  • Use right before bed to relax.

The roller helps serums and creams absorb

 

Use the Beauty & Wishes Rose Quartz roller with your favorite serums and facial masks

 

GUA SHA TOOL

The Gua Sha tool is gently used over the top of moisturizing topicals. This increases product benefit and absorption. We especially like the angles of the Gua Sha tool for treating facial curves such as jawline and cheekbones.

Lightly glide the Gua Sha tool along the contours of the face for optimal results.

Unique shape aids precise facial contour treatment

 

About the Brand

Beauty & Wishes has a passion for wellbeing and a fascination with ancient, holistic beauty practices. They are committed to giving back. For every purchase, Beauty & Wishes donates $1 to help improve the lives of women, children, and communities around the world.

Conclusion

Beauty & Wishes Rose Quartz Roller & Gua Sha Tool Set is a well-made, durable and useful skincare set that enhances product absorption and promotes reduced inflammation. The stand keeps both skincare tools safe and free of counter surface bacteria. It comes in a presentation box suitable for gift giving and the set has a lifetime warranty.

Better Beauty Sleep with the Luxe Corala Weighted Blanket  

October 28, 2019 · 6 Comments

Good sleep is vital for health, mental clarity, metabolism, and mood. The phrase “get your beauty sleep” is sound advice because our skin regenerates at night. But stress can make restful sleep elusive. Many of us are sleep deprived. So we’re excited about the Corala Weighted Blanket. It eases away stress and enables relaxed sleep.

The luxurious Corala set

Work. School. Deadlines. Family. Health. These can all cause stress. The Corala Weighted Blanket creates a soothing environment and a snugly feel. It uses natural gravity properties to help the brain and body relax and promote restful sleep and better sleep quality.

How Do Weighted Blankets Work?

Weighted blankets use gravity to comfortably swaddle you without feeling trapped or stuffy. This encourages relaxation and sleep. The weight of the blanket works through Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) stimulation.

Deep-Touch Pressure (DTP) is light, non-painful pressure applied to relax the body. Like how a warm, comforting hug from a loved one feels or how a fussy baby feels calmer once swaddled. The weight of the blanket, when draped over the body, uses DTP for the same hug-like swaddled feeling.

Deep-Touch Pressure helps the body produce “feel-good” neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. The release of serotonin within the brain helps to relieve insomnia.

WHY STRESS IMPACTS SLEEP

Research shows that stress makes the sympathetic nervous system work overtime. How can you tell if your sympathetic nervous system is working overtime? Instead of falling asleep, the mind races, worrying about problems or overthinking about the next day’s tasks. This alters circadian rhythms and causes more anxiety. No wonder restful sleep is elusive!

Corala Weighted Blanket


Functional Design Meets Luxury Aesthetics

The boxed set with duvets and blanket

This blanket set has unique features. It includes:

The Weighted Blanket

The Corala blanket measures 60″ wide by 80″ long and weighs twenty pounds. The color is Living Coral, the 2019 Pantone color of the year. Cheery, soothing and optimistic, it is versatile and suits many decor schemes.

Corala in the color Living Coral

It fits just across the top of my queen bed and doesn’t drape off the sides. This is on purpose so the weight does not pull or feel heavy.

It is quilted with double reinforced stitches and edges for durability. No bead leaks.

The set comes with two seasonal duvets.

SEASONAL DUVETS

The Corala Winter Duvet is made with a minklike fabric that is very soft. It is warm and toasty without being scratchy or stuffy. It is a grey dotted pattern on the top and soft fabric underneath. It is stylish and versatile.

Raised dotted pattern on top with soft darker gray underneat

Winter Duvet

The Corala Summer Duvet is 100% pure cotton. It has a breathable softness that is not confining or stuffy during hot weather months. It feels like a thick version of high thread count sheets and is exceptionally smooth with a silk blend finish.

Eight sets of loops and long ties and multiple sturdy loops secure the blanket inside the duvet. This ensures an even weight distribution.

Construction & Materials

The Corala Blanket is 100% cotton fabric filled with a 170gsm 3D hollow fiber blend. It has a 4 by 4-inch diamond pattern. This is both attractive and enables the weighted beads to stay in place instead of shifting around or settling all to one side.

Attractive large diamond stitch pattern holds beads in place

The weight comes from lead-free glass beads. They are odorless and non-toxic. There are no plastic, synthetic materials or chemicals in this blanket.

Presentation

It comes in a sleek, generously sized black box suitable for gifting and for storage. The box is absolutely luxe, like Hermes gift box luxe. It has an imprinted logo, thick cardboard, dual-tone design interior and exterior, and a satin lining bottom, like a jewelry gift box!

The set comes in such a lovely gift box!

The outer box comes with a bag and corner padding brackets to keep this gift box perfect until gift-giving. They really went all out on the gift presentation!

It is a great gift for a college or grad student, a new mom, or anyone who could enjoy better sleep.

My Corala Weighted Blanket Experience

I’ve been working on an important project deadline. There have been many late nights working at a computer right up until bedtime. I try to go to sleep, but I frequently linger awake, dwelling on my project, making mental notes for the next day’s work. It keeps me awake when I should be asleep. It is the perfect time to try the Corala Weighted Blanket.

First impressions, it is a sleek and slim blanket, not bulky. I find it comfortable against my skin and not at all scratchy. I like the feel of the blanket and both duvets.

Winding down for bed with a cup of tea and my Corala Blanket

 
It is hug-like! It is cradling and snugly without feeling stifling or claustrophobic. The beads are not at all noisy when the blanket is moved or while turning over. It fits atop a queen bed or for use to keep warm while reading or watching TV on the couch.
 
I love how quickly it helps me shift gears from working to relaxing. The weight is not too heavy, claustrophobic or at all stifling. I sleep comfortably and wake well-rested.

For Relaxing…

Sometimes we all need an evening off or a mental health break. The blanket is ideal for curling up on the couch, streaming Netflix and indulging in the snack of your choice. I found it restful, relaxing and enjoyable.

Streaming a movie while using the Corala Weighted Blanket is so relaxing

 
It is also a lovely addition to a guest bedroom to make guests feel warm, cozy and at home.

Notable features

  • One-year warranty
  • Free shipping
  • Not sure? Free 30-Night Trial
  • Not for you? Free returns
  • Both the blanket and duvets are machine washable. 

All three pieces are of high quality. durable and luxe

CONCLUSION

A thoughtful gift for your own self-care or for friends and family who work hard and have many stressors. Sometimes grad students and others work on a paper or project deadline and are too wired to sleep. Night Workers often have difficulty sleeping. It is difficult to turn off the brain and focus on sleep for a variety of reasons. The Corala Weighted Blanket is well made, luxe, stylish, and practical. It promotes restful sleep naturally. An easy way to adopt a helpful and healthy self-care practice.
