Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C Ester, & DMAE Cream. Firms and fights future skin damage. To firm skin as it fights future skin damage, Reviva has encased these 3 unique ingredients in a soy liposome—for deep penetration and time-release action. Thus, as your body rests during the night the nutrients help “lift” skin as they fight the effects of time.

It’s a dramatic new nutrient complex to help skin look younger, as it protects against daytime aggressions!
I bought this after extensive research for just the right night cream. This had the DMAE and ALA fairly close to the top of the ingredient list, which I thought was great. However, the cream is just not for my oily skin. It felt really greasy going on, and my skin still felt oily when I woke up the next morning. However, I gave it to my husband to try since his skin is not oily. I was amazed at the results. Within a week, his skin was smooth and even toned! It’s been almost a month now, and his skin still looks great.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Price: $15
Packaged in a precious, genie-like bottle, Eyeshadow Primer Potion is an ultra-sheer, totally nude eye base that glides on with the wave of a wand and then disappears instantly. It’s the ultimate eye prep for smoother, longer-lasting, crease-proof eyeshadow.
This primer is awesome. Definitely helps keep the eye makeup in place and it goes on so smoothly. I love it and will continue to purchase it until they stop making it! LOVE IT! PS there is a tutorial on youtube about how to get the primer out of the bottom of the little genie bottle since it tends to get stuck down there. They definately could use a different container so you can get all the product without the hassle!.

Price: $125.00
Pure Youth for Eyes - gives eyes a “lift”, oxygenates and nourishes. Light, ultra-fresh texture imparts a youthful look. Protects the thin, delicate skin from damaging environmental factors that accelerate aging. Diminishes puffiness and dark circles.
I got this as a sample and was surprised how much I like this. It has really helped with my dark circles and puffiness. You can use it all around the eye area which I like, because my eyelids can look puffy real easy. I am a mother of two young boys so I do not always a good night sleep. I will purchase again.
