Pure Fushion Super-Charged Age Defense Radiance Renewal Serum

Fusion Beauty's Super-Charged Age Defense Radiance Renewal Serum is a more ntaural product and is formulated without a lot of the chemicals used in mainstream skin care products and cosmetics.

According to Sephora's website: "Fusion Beauty PureFusion™ Super-Charged Age Defense Radiance Renewal Serum helps to nourish, protect, and hydrate skin. It is a natural and organic way to boost protein production and replenish dull, dry complexions, renewing a healthy radiance. It is formulated without: Parabens, Sulfates, Synthetic Fragrances, Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, Phthalates, GMOs and Triclosan."

This product is a slightly taupe color and has a very thin consistency. The scent is very much herbal, bit not offensive. This serum applies and spreads easily although it does require some time to absorb. As with a lot of natural products, this serum tends to ball up when applied in tandem with the matching moisturizer.

The elegantly packaged pump bottle , 0.85 oz., sells at Sephora for $69.00.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth Creme

Re-Nutriv is Estee Lauder's high-end, prestige, skin care line. It is similar in cost to the Estee Lauder owned Creme de La Mer.

Ultimate Youth Creme is a light cream that absorbs quickly and leaves the skin somewhere between dewey and matte. The scent is very much like other Re-Nutriv products, a very clean, subtle scent, very distinctive, very Estee Lauder. It is a wonderful moisturizer, regardless of any claims Estee Lauder makes, it moisturizes very well and didn't make my combo skin extremely shiney. My skin felt good, looked good and I was mostly impressed. Estee Lauder makes quality products for a variety of skin types and concerns.

If this product did not contain mica or titanium dioxide I would consider it one of the best I've used. Mica and Titanium Dioxide tend to cause me deep, painful, breakouts. Why companies feel the need to use them in their products knowing they may cause people breakouts is beyond me.

Chanel Precision Ultra Correction Nuit

Chanel Ultra Correction Nuit Restructuring Anti-Wrinkle FIrming Night Cream is part of Chanel's Precision skin care line.

This creamy pink product is very thick and lush. The scent is very light as similar to the other Chanel skin care products. This cream absorbs well leaving and dries to a fairly matte finish. It feels great on my skin and makes my skin feel powdery and soft. The packaging is beautiful and looks very high-end.

According to Chanel this product: "Be firm. Look young. Correct every sign of age. This rich, yet delicate moisturizing night cream dispenses water and ingredients during the night, when skin is predisposed to renew itself. Adhesioderm firms and resculpts; it's as if surface skin is 'bonded' to its support system. Exclusive Life Cycle Regenerator dramatically reduces the appearance of wrinkles. The look of youth is restored."

Because this is such a thick, rich, product, it is probably meant for use by those with drier or more mature skin types needed extram moistuure and firming.

A 1.7 ounce jar of this cream retails for $115.00 and is available at the hihger end departments stores and Chanel.
