1966 Beauty Pick: Fresh Flesh Illuminating Primer -Photo Reflecting Finish

ArianneUpdated on August 6, 2018August 5, 2018

Two reasons to use a makeup primer: 1. To have a smooth foundation or base to build your beauty look on top of when applying cosmetics. 2. Help your makeup last longer. Nevertheless, what if there was a primer that offered a little something more than all the others. Interested? We thought so, it’s time to check out today’s beauty pick, the Fresh Flesh Illuminating Primer!

1966 Beauty Pick: Fresh Flesh Illuminating Primer -Photo Reflecting Finish

We’ll just cut to the chase on this one. It’s multi-faceted and can be worn alone or under makeup. Plus, it includes purple and blue photo-reflecting agents that are able to add radiance to your face as well as improve the appearance of dull skin.

The Fresh brand was kind of enough to share and reveal a few more amazing details in regards to their product. The beauty company states,

“Fresh Flesh Illuminating Primer is a lightweight, light filled face primer serum that has photo-reflecting ingredients plus glycerin and ProVitamin B5; to create a smooth, dewy, makeup-loving surface right there on your lovely face.”

Sounds like an awesomely nutrient packed product right? Now as you may have noticed, Flesh Beauty mentioned that this primer helps give skin a “smooth, dewy” finish. The reason why professional MUAs (makeup artists) love to create a dewy effect is because such skin comes across as being more plump, elastic, hydrated and natural. Basically, it gives you a very youthful, glowing appearance; and who doesn’t want that?

Moreover, this beauty product also contains ProVitamin B5. What can this accomplish? This provitamin has natural abilities to soothe, moisturize, heal and regenerate the skin. So then, you will be able to introduce nourishing elements to your skin all while you prime it for makeup application. WINNING!

Furthermore, it looks like more and more consumers are loving this product. Here are just a few of their thoughts that we collected:

“First primer I have found to love!”

“Love this product!”

“So good.”

“Nothing like an awesome dewy look.”

“You had me at serum.”

“Love this primer.”

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Creme

ArianneUpdated on August 4, 2018August 4, 2018

Firm, glowing, hydrated and silky smooth. Isn’t that how you would want anyone to describe your skin? However, we have A LOT working against us. From stress, the environment and even the weather almost everything can leave our skin looking and feeling like a desert. Nonetheless, the right product can change the status quo. Balance things out with Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme; a nutrient rich crème that is specifically formulated to repair common skin issues.

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Crème

Don’t just take our word for it. Estee Lauder strongly stands behind this powerful skincare gem. If you are looking to make your face more supple, and healthier with a brilliant natural glow then direct your attention to this product. In regards to their growing fan favorite skin item (and an additional EL product they suggest pairing it with), Estee Lauder states,

“Our Revitalizing Supreme crème can help you unlock beautiful skin. It’s nourishing ingredients, including Moringa extract, hydrate and help make your skin look and feel firmer. With Moringa Extract, our silky-soft, deeply nourishing crème encourages skin’s natural power to amplify collagen and elastin.

It’s time for a beauty routine that will unlock your skin’s full potential. When you pair the powerful recovery complex of our number one serum, Advanced Night Repair with our Revitalizing Supreme moisturizer; you’re helping repair, protect and refresh all at once.

[So] are you ready to dive into moisture like never before? The hydrating and rich moisture of our Revitalizing Supreme, and our serum formulated with moisture magnet Hyaluronic Acid; will drench your skin in around the clock moisture.”

Estee Lauder Revitalizing Supreme Global Anti-Aging Cell Power Crème (Continued)

One aspect of this crème that really stood out to us is it’s helpfulness to amplify collagen. When it comes to the fountain of youth, collagen is the closest we are all getting to it. That is because one of main benefits of collagen is it’s ability to promote a healthy vibrancy and luminosity in the skin. Also, this amazing protein provides the elasticity.

As you age unfortunately collagen production declines. It’s this lack of production that causes looser skin, dryness and dreaded fine lines. To make a long story short, if you want your skin to remain or look more youthful; you will want to include products that help you boost collagen. Estee Lauder’s Revitalizing Supreme crème fits the bill.

So then, what is the cost? Revitalizing Supreme currently retails for $53 and can be purchased at esteelauder.com. We also spotted this product being sold by Macy’s, Ulta Beauty, Sephora, Neiman Marcus, Jet.com and Walmart. However, please note all these retailers may charge a higher price. Happy shopping and glowing skin to you!
