Valentia: Ultimate Skin Repair & Hydration Combo: True Glow Eye Cream &Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask - REVIEW

Thank you Valentia for giving me the opportunity to review two of your newest products!
I'm going to start with a little info on the Brand!

"Valentia products are made in a beauty lab owned and operated by women"
This sentence is so empowering. Especially for someone like me, who is an aspiring cosmetic chemist. As soon as I read that line, I wanted to know more about this brand!

"Luxurious natural and organic anti-aging solutions combining the purity of nature and the power of science"

Valentia is the name of the Roman Goddess of Healing. It is said that she used nature to heal the citizens of Umbria, to help keep their youthful look and help with sunburned skin. In doing so, she used nature's gifts: berries, herbs and natural ingredients. Valentia, they brand, does the same!

They are such an interesting brand and so inspiring, not to mention cruelty-free and organic. I love that they use all natural ingredients with the help of scientifically advanced products to cater to every skin type and skin need.

Their mission is to make your skin happy without the use of harsh chemicals "that dry out, stretch, burn and prematurely age the skin." Their formulations are all natural ingredients, free of toxins and parabens, that have been scientifically proven to work wonders, such as giving skin a youthful glow. Valentia has found that natural organic bases for their ingredients are most effective at repairing skin damage, preventing fine lines and dark spots and reversing the effects of oxidative stress.

Now on to the products, Valentia sent me two products for review, they are the True Glow Eye Cream and the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask.

The True Glow Eye Cream is a luxurious antioxidant rich eye cream that helps lock in moisture, repair and tighten skin for a youthful looking glow around the eye area. The active ingredients in it are:

 -Astaxanthin: A powerful antioxidant that increases moisture levels, smooths fine line and wrinkles, and restores elasticity to the skin.

- Organic Rosehip Oil: Provides intense hydration to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

- Arnica: A key anti-inflammatory agent to the restorative process that works to diminish the appearance of dark circles.




The Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask is blend of amino acids and hyaluronic acid work together to flood the skin with moisture providing intense hydration and nourishment and the active ingredients in it are:

- Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend:These natural miracles increase moisture content and help in the production of collagen and elastin which decreases the appearance of visible lines.

- Japanese Green Tea:Contains catechins that provide anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, and anti-irritant effects to the skin.

- Aloe Vera:This botanical moisturizers skin and fight aging by improving skin firmness.


Review:

The secondary packaging is very sleek and clean, which I like, and the primary packaging is just the same, only downside was that the mask's label was crookedly placed on the jar. The eye cream is a small glass bottle with a pump. I loved that fact that it was heavy duty glass.

Let's start with the Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask: first of all, I cannot put my finger on what this smells like!!! But it smells nice, herbal and fruity at the same time. It looks like pudding and is that consistency as well. Once applied, it feels cooling, but that changes really quickly! I feel like I haven't used this product enough to see if it has improved my skin or anything, but I will say that my skin does feel very nice when I use it. At first it starts tingling and then at one point it feels like it is burning my face. I'm not crazy about that sensation; but the next few times I used it, I used less product and the sensation was not as strong. So far, its a nice mask to use after a long day to rejuvenate your tired skin. I will continue using it and update you on it! In fact, I'll use it tonight :)

Now, for the True Glow Eye cream: THIS STUFF IS GOOD! Yes, now this product I love! I was thoroughly impressed with it. Usually, I don't like to wear eye cream during the day under makeup because I feel like it slides my makeup around and is too greasy. But, I decided to give it a shot to use this eye cream during the day. It worked wonders! I have a problem with my concealer creasing, and this eye cream helped with that problem! My concealer did not crease as much and my under eye area seemed to be more plumped. What I like about True Glow Eye Cream, is that when you apply it, it hydrates so well and absorbs quickly, after a few seconds it mattefies your under eyes, this makes it easy to wear under makeup! Although, it is mattefying, it doesn't mean it is drying; you under eyes feel super smooth and plump. I LOVE IT! I've already recommended this eye cream to my friends. You do see results quickly with it and it wears so well. Valentia you did a great job with this one!

I just want to re-mention that I love that Valentia's products are all natural and organic; I love the back story behind the name and brand. Most of all, I love the girl power this brand was built on! So excited to continue using their products, and I will definitely be trying more.
