Ole Henriksen Skin Care

I was super lucky to get a Vox Box from Influenster. I am getting the chance to try Ole Henriksen products for free!!! Whoo Hoo to me!! Here is some information on Ole Henriksen. I will follow up with my thoughts at a later date ;) OLE HENRIKSEN Scandinavian skincare expert Ole Henriksen has been giving clients his signature Ole Glow™—pure radiance from the inside out—for more than 40 years. Inspired by his own experience overcoming “problem” skin with botanical treatments, Ole devoted himself to skincare and cosmetic chemistry. The Denmark native opened his spa in 1975 in Beverly Hills, and in 1984, he launched his namesake product line so clients could enjoy spa results at home. Drawing on the healthy lifestyle of Scandinavia, Ole Henriksen skincare combines natural botanicals, powerful actives and essential fatty acids to exfoliate, treat and soothe skin—resulting in the Ole Glow. Best sellers are collagen booster, red tea cleanser, sheer transformation and many more. I am trying out the Sheer transformation, Cleansing sponge, collagen booster and power bright system.

Sheer  transformation:

So sheer in texture, this luxurious oil-free cream feels light and silky as it penetrates the skin and helps fade discolorations such as freckles, age spots and sun damage without the use of chemicals. Instantly nourishes and retexturizes the skin, smoothes facial lines and provides intense free radical protection to prevent further damage. BENEFITS Actiwhite™: Prevents and corrects discoloration and evens skin tone with an effective combination of pea extract and sugar Vitamin C: Stimulates collagen production Fruit Acids: Retexturizes and smoothes lines Sandalwood, Geranium, Licorice and Chamomile Extracts: Soothes, replenishes, balances and purifies the skin Vitamin E: Heals, restores and nourishes the skin

 Collagen Booster:

Like a daily vitamin for your face, this high powered Vitamin C complex helps smooth out lines and wrinkles and prevents further damage. Loaded with antioxidants to fight off environmental aggressors and moisture-binding ingredients to keep your skin nourished and protected, this aromatic serum is absorbed instantly and penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin to provide long term results. Sensitive skin prone to irritation will benefit immensely from the calming properties of this oil-free serum. BENEFITS Grapefruit and Orange Extract: Purifying, astringent, brightening Green Tea Extract: Protects against damage with antioxidants Rosehips Extract: Repairs and strengthens with concentrated vitamin C Sodium Hyaluronate: Binds moisture to the skin Vitamin C: Calms, heals and strengthens collagen Vitamin E: Heals, restores and nourishes

 Last but not least the Power bright set

Experience the ultimate Ole Glow instantly with this professional-strength, three-step system featuring an unprecedented 25% vitamin C concentrate. After just one use, skin looks brighter and more radiant and fine lines and wrinkles appear diminished. Ole Henriksen was one of the very first skincare brands to champion vitamin C, the gold standard for fighting signs of aging. It helps brighten and even the complexion and promotes firmer, more youthful-looking—and feeling—skin. This formulation features a 25% concentration of stable ascorbic acid, the pure form of vitamin C. It’s like a wake-up call to the complexion for immediate brightness. BENEFITS Step 1: Polish Truth Sugar Glow Polishing Mask Sugar, honey and pomegranate helps polish away dead, dull skin, leaving the complexion visibly smooth and radiant. Step 2: Brighten Truth 25% Vitamin C Concentrate Potent, stabilized 25% vitamin C is the heart of the system to help brighten the complexion, diminish the appearance of fine line and wrinkles and fade the look of dark spots. Step 3: Glow Pure Truth Melting Cleanser 3-in-1 luxurious cleansing gelee with Vitamin C, virgin cherry and rose hip seed oils completes the system, leaving skin soft and supple with a beautifully radiant Ole glow.

 I am super excited to get started with these products!!

By the way, the prices for these items are actually pretty reasonable compared to other brands ;) #Gotitfree

US Cake Supply Airbrush Cake Colors Metallic

I was super excited I was able to try US Cake Supply Airbrush paint for free!! I am a hobby cake decorator and love anything cake related. I grabbed my airbrush machine the second I received my package I was so excited! First thing I noticed is compared to another brand these are much lighter in shade. They provide good color, just not as dark as other brands I have used. The gold in particular had more of a yellow shade. My suggestion is to color your fondant or gum paste a shade close to the color you will use to get a darker shade. Over all I loved these and will use them quite often!

A bit from the company: 6 Color Metallic Set Includes: Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Silver and White Chefmaster Airbrush Colors are the ideal, edible spray-on food coloring for use with any level of cake decorator.
