just got this sampl  jar today together with a few other skincare products. this is just one of the fairly new things i wanted to try out, im lately focusing on my skin and i must say at this stage in my life im now more concerned than i have ever been.. im now on my mid twenties and im scared to death about how i would look when i turned 30. i thought i must act now and do some prevention rather than paying a higher price for cure afterwards. im now starting to look into skin aging and maybe i can educate myself a bit by the use of the internet for now, as i dont see anything alarming yet to force myself to see a doctor.

its been 2 weeks now since i had started shopping for skin care products and its funny sometimes that i maybe turning myself into a guinea pig by trying out these stuff and experimenting on myself seriously.

this is just the 2nd skin product though in past 2 weeks, i must let you know. and besides its not something to be prescribed by a dermatologist and i think there's no bad effect if i use different products as long as thy're not to be used on my face all at the same time,well its just a moisturizer with a fancy name, packaging and price tag.

aside from extreme oiliness, i noticed that i have been frequently scarring from pimple marks than i usually do even if i do not touch them and let them dry and heal by themselves. i have established that my pimples are usually the results of stress and my lack of sleep-but there's nothing i can do about the factors as im a  seriously busy person and i really have alot to do on a daily basis and so ill just need to swallow the results of my work nature, sadly the effects had to appear on my face. 

PRODUCT REVIEW

unfortunately the ingredients of this product are not readily available on the makers website-or did i miss it?, however i have searched further online and found the complete list of ingredients at nvwah.com beauty investigator. i am unsure of the later websites accuracy but that is my main product ingredients source, the components of this product are essential to me not just because im the consumer but simply because im curiously wow'd when i found out that the full size retail price is $95.00. i was waiting to see if there was anything ill find out in the ingredients that made it so pricey like pearl powder or gold bits (or maybe a free bag at the bottom of the tiny jar lol)

really, i should shut up now with the jokes i have in my head about the price maybe no one will take my reviews seriously.

upon opening the package i just couldn't  resist complementing on the way the packaging it came in with..its just irresistible when anything came in small ,shiny and gold plated, it just looks so expensive.

the cream itself  is heavily perfumed, it strongly resembles body butters and creams. the scent is pleasant (not fruity nor sweet) but although this is the first time i have tried this product the smell of it is not unique, im really sure i have used a body butter or lotion that has the exact same fragrance-i just couldn't tell what that exact scent is. does not really bother me since i enjoy how it smells,its just unusual for a face product to be perfumed this way maybe its an extra feature?.

applied the cream by its own on my face with nothing else immediately after shower,it stayed matte for a good 3hours which was surprising, i started to shed oil on the 4th hour .on the 5th hour my face is already shiny.against my skin, i felt that it is moisturizing and when i smile i felt that the lines on my face were less stiff compared when im not wearing anything on my face at all. i smiled on the mirror but i dint notice anything physically obvious as i don't have wrinkles yet (thank you lord)

im not an expert to determine how this product actually works on wrinkles and skin elasticity so im just responding as a regular female consumer so ill stick with my own experience and skip with the ingredients specifics.

 the label says its for dry to normal skin types-not for oily skin so im aware that this isn't designed for me. im after the moisture and skin elasticity benefits it promised and im not concerned now if it wont help prevent my oiliness, as long as it will continue to delay signs of skin aging i will continue using it. however id rather apply this at night and let it work while i sleep because i don't want to shed oil during the day and especially if im going out .

 as much as i would like to avoid the pricing, i need to comment on it. it feels like the price is an embarrassing situation that everybody never talks about. so far i have experienced good things about this product, but the pricing somehow made me doubt myself if its really worth buying. i believe that i will never ever buy a  single skin care product worth $95.00 at any given day, yes i said it and its a fact. i think the pricing of this made a huge difference overall. maybe if it was $9.50 i might buy it. if ur rich u may call me stupid or cheap, but ill just tell you "whatever, i ant buying girl". its to much, its overpriced as it is still basically a moisturizer and it dint have a free bag in the jar hmmm.
