REVIEWS: DERMAFLASH, MOODSTRUCK 3D Fiber Lashes, Earth Kiss Masks, j.f.LAZARTIQUEA NEW YEAR----always tempts us to try out new beauty 'stuff' at home-that importantly will save time/$ and mimic for results that we would pay for, service-wise -at a salon/spa... First Up: Smoother Skin One of the RHWONJ got belittled-in an episode we saw...because she mentioned how she used a razor on her face-in the shower-with moisturizer as shaving cream...and how it left her skin so smooth. Made total sense to us....and what we thought about when we read up on DERMAFLASH ™ - a new-use at home-we got to review. This new face beauty exfoliating tool works via sonic-slight vibrating handpiece that is loaded with an exfoliating edge (razor like)... that gets stroked or 'edged'- over bare, clean skin...avoiding sensitive areas (eyes, lips, nose...). The instruction book is easy to follow and there is a quick start guide, included too. Usage is intuitive-though the booklet is loaded with warnings-like...tie all hair back, don't drop the instrument in water, avoid eye area with prep/sooth creams...etc. |
 |
| DERMAFLASH is well packaged-like premium beauty products...mercifully all that nesting cardboard and plastic is recyclable! |
 |
| DERMAFLASH™: Exfoliating System Kit inside...the handpiece, 5 edgers (razor-like), charger, and prep cleansing and post soothing creams...imo-can use your own preferred non-irritating cleanser and moisturizer too. |
 |
| To charge up-takes several hours at first...and without an edger in---or the handpiece won't sit in the charging cradle...a full charge will yield 30 minutes of usage. To start/shut-off loaded handpiece, depress the on/off button -the turquoise round 'thing' up top with bird image-that will flash on/off when first charging-then shut-off when completely charged. The blue rubberized sides visible on one side, pictured above-is where place thumb+forefinger of one hand to guide Dermaflash- the edge is designed to sit flat on skin... with our other hand-used a finger to support our skin though not a taut pull. In the user guide, there is an illustrated pattern of handpiece movements...which is intuitive=feathery vertical strokes on forehead+chin, horizontal ones cheek area and angled ones inside the cheeks' nasolabial folds- towards the lip area...We tried and following instructions-took our time to go over recommended facial areas...we barely felt the vibrating edger at all...and had no redness from the exfoliation...which seems to work like a REALLY GOOD exfoliating scrub-except smoother. Nice. Bonus points for gals with peach fuzz...the DERMFLASH™ reportedly gets rid of that-akin to process of shaving but without the nicks... |

| slide handpiece in to click new plane-like clicking in a hand-held razor blade. IMO- trickier...to unlock a used one...have to really firmly grasp the holder. |

SECOND: Longer Lashes
 |
| Glammy eyelashes-long and luscious without extensions or need for glue ..3 step\YOUNIQUE MOODSTRUCK 3D Fiber Lashes+. |
 |
| thicker brush is for steps 1 and 3 (transplanting gel enhancer)....thinner brush is for step 2 (3D fibers-are tiny tiny tiny-and made to 'stick')...the mascara tubes are sized accordingly so you can't switch up by mistakes... |
 |
| non-irritating so good for sensitive types the Moodstruck 'system'...use as pictured above...gel enhancer, fibers, gel enhancer...DONE.
