ELLA K BEAUTY REVIEW

Paula’s Choice RESIST C15 Super Booster Review

RESIST C15 Super Booster is a clear liquid treatment formulated with 15% stabilized vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid.  The formula also features vitamin E, ferulic acid, sodium hyaluronate, and peptides.  The liquid absorbs into the skin immediately, but it feels slightly sticky upon application.  Once completely absorbed, the treatment leaves the skin lightly hydrated and free of residue.  The vitamin C gives the skin a noticeable glow and smoother texture.  This product is gentle enough for daily use.  

EmerginC D-Red Daytime Emulsion Review

D-Red Daytime Emulsion is a clear gel with blue nutrient beads suspended in the gel.  The pump dispenser dissolves the beads, dispensing a smooth gel mixture.   The formula contains a great array of antioxidants, anti-irritants, and soothing botanical extracts.  The gel absorbs quickly and without stickiness, leaving the skin lightly hydrated.  This product soothes the skin and slightly reduces redness. 

Replenix Green Tea Antioxidant Moisturizing Lotion Review

Green Tea Moisturizing Lotion is a silky, nourishing lotion without added fragrance.  The formula is enriched with green tea, caffeine, resveratrol, ceramide 2, hyaluronic acid, and soothing skin conditioners.  The lotion rubs in easily and it leaves the skin soft, supple, but not greasy.  

Mad Hippie Face Cream Review

Mad Hippie Face Cream is a sheer yet emollient gel-cream with a soft fruity scent.  The formula is enriched with natural oils, niacinamide, peptides, and multiple antioxidants.  The silky cream goes on easily and absorbs rapidly without a greasy, sticky feeling.  The cream leaves the skin soft, dewy, and nourished.

L’Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Serum Concentrate Review

Youth Code Texture Perfector is a silky, lightweight serum-primer with a fresh scent.  The silicone-based formula is enriched with botanical extracts, but it also contains a fair amount of alcohol that can dry and irritate the skin.  
The opalescent serum glides easily over the skin and quickly absorbs to a sheer semi-matte finish.  The serum instantly smoothes, softens, and slightly brightens the skin. 

Banana Boat Aloe Vera with Vitamin E Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF 45 Review

Aloe Vera and Vitamin E Sunscreen Lip Balm is a smooth lip balm flavored with saccharin.  The formula features a blend of chemical sunscreens, cocoa butter, aloe vera, vitamin E, vitamin C, and vitamin A.  The lip balm glides easily over the lips, coating them with a protective moisturizing veil that is not too thick or sticky.  The lip balm provides immediate relief to dry lips, but needs to be reapplied throughout the day.  

Estēe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II Review

The newly reformulated Advanced Night Repair is very similar to its predecessor, but slightly thicker.  Like the previous formulation, the new gel-serum features good bacteria, antioxidants, anti-irritants, a peptide, and other skin conditioners.  The formula goes on easily and quickly absorbs to a non-greasy, natural finish.  The serum instantly softens and lightly hydrates the skin.  This product has a soft chamomile scent.
