Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud - pics, swatches, review!

Hello, Beautiful!

While everyone is going crazy over GlamGlow - which is $69 for 1.2 to 1.7 oz of product, and honestly, I didn't see any results - I'm going crazy for the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud Skin Restoring Treatment Mask - which is just $38 for 3.88 oz of product - and I saw results! I'll do a full review on this mask, along with a comparison to GlamGlow, all below after the pics!

Product Info...

Miracle Revival Mud is a mineral-enriched mud mask sourced from spring-fed lakes in Eastern Europe. Formulated with unique silts loaded with skin enhancing ingredients, a revolutionary ingredient known for its organic healing powers and providing nourishment and treatment to the skin.

This naturally occurring bioactive silt conditions the skin instantly. These bioactive silts are known to be superior in treatments to Dead Sea Mud, Fango Mud and Moor Mud, and promotes cellular turnover by 92%. It targets age spots and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines by stimulating the skin's natural collagen.

The result? Improved hydration, firmness and skin clarity, a more even skin tone and reduced surface shine. Special absorbing action unclogs pores, delivers natural nourishment, eliminates dead skin cells and detoxifies impurities. Skin feels comfortably refreshed, invigorated and youthful.

Enriched with the M3 Complex that delivers a combination of anti-oxidants and vitamins including Green Tea and Mushroom extracts. Skin smoothing beta glucans and extracts of the Resurrection Plant reduce surface redness and promote radiance. This mask gently exfoliates skin and helps even out the appearance of skin tone. Helps protect against free radiance damage.

Free of synthetic fragrances, dyes, wax, mineral oils and talc. Developed with selected natural ingredients. Dermatologist tested.

Directions for application: This thick mud mask should be generously applied to clean dry skin, avoiding the eye area. After 15 minutes, rinse off with water in a circular motion to exfoliation. Use maximum twice a week.


My Review...

I like this mask a lot. When you put it on it feels very cooling on the skin, and stays that way throughout. This may sound weird, but at certain points during the mask - if you really pay attention - you can feel these little invigorating bubbles. Maybe it's a tingle happening - not sure - as most masks that say they tingle I don't usually feel. But what I do know is that this mask feels very nice on the skin. Because of how nice and cooling it is, I'd assume this is great for puffiness on the face.

This has a thick, mud mask type texture that smooths onto skin easily. I like that it doesn't really have a scent to it. If anything, it has a very light scent of mud and even a hint of Play-Doh. I like that it doesn't smell bad and actually has a pleasant smell.

When you rinse it off you'll want to make sure you rub off in circular motions with a washcloth or paper towel, which will add that extra exfoliation and help it come off easier too.

This has an internal lid that you can throw out, but I'd recommend keeping it to help keep the mask from drying out over time.

Like I started this post out with, everyone is going crazy over GlamGlow - and I don't see why. I tried it and wasn't impressed. It's so much money for such little product for such little results. I also never felt "the tingle". I'm a huge mask/peel person, and I've tried so many, and GlamGlow just doesn't stand out enough to justify the price tag - at least for me. If you love it and it works, then great! Maybe the new hydrating GlamGlow will work, but I know I don't like the original.

With that being said, the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud is cheaper - especially when you're talking per ounce price! GlamGlow is $40.59 per ounce for the 1.7 oz size, and $57.50 per ounce for the 1.2 oz size (which is what the Clearing one is). Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud is just $9.79 per ounce. Yeah... huge difference! Not to mention that I saw more results from the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud than the GlamGlow.

Now I don't want you to think I'm bashing GlamGlow - because I'm certainly not - but I know I've been asked by many people for a cheaper alternative. I'm not saying this is a dupe for GlamGlow either. I just want to point out that if you're looking for a mask to do basically what the original, hydrating and clearing ones do from GlamGlow, but all in one, then the Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Revival Mud may be the way to go. It's not aimed at being an acne-fighting mask, but it will help to detoxify skin, which helps (and I personally find it helps with my acne).


Final Thoughts...

I was really pleased with this mask. It always leaves my skin feeling very clean, less congested, softer, smoother, brighter, firmer, and doesn't dry my skin out either! Just leaves it as perfect as it can be after a mask. Loved it and would recommend!

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control in Medium - pics, before & after, swatches, review

Hello, Beautiful!

If you have acne prone skin, you're going to love this product: the Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control! This is just like their original Miracle Skin Transformer, except reformulated to help treat, clear, and control acne - plus it will help with excess oil too, making it a great makeup primer. Read my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics.

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control
Shade: Medium

 

Miracle Skin Transformer Acne Control Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $48.00 (1 fl oz full size). Available on the Miracle Skin Transformer website, at Sephora, at Nordstrom, at Dermstore, and everywhere else Miracle Skin Transformer is sold.

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses!

Instantly transform your skin with this color correcting, breakout fighting, light-weight, matte finish, tinted skin enhancer. This skin-perfecting tinted skin enhancer creates a flawless finish as it moisturizes and treats acne prone skin, while fighting future breakouts. Long wearing, natural coverage conceals imperfections instantly, helping to diminish the appearance of blemishes, pores, acne scars, and uneven skintone for a smooth, matte, flawless finish.

Helps control oil and shine while refining the look of pores. Anti-aging actives and antioxidants help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Clears existing breakouts while helping to prevent the formation of new ones. Marine Sea Whip effectively calms and soothes skin irritation and surface redness.

Formulated with SMARTsal10, a breakthrough, technologically advanced blemish fighting complex that combines salicylic acid with anti-microbial peptide-10 to promote a faster reduction in the appearance of acne and blemishes now and in the future.

Available in 5 shades, including a translucent option: Translucent, Light, Medium, Tan, Dark. I have the shade Medium, which works well for my skintone and is what I have in the Original Miracle Skin Transformer. Although I do find the Medium shade in the Acne Control formula is slightly darker in tone. You can use the translucent shade at night to double up on your acne fighting efforts as an overnight acne treatment.

The texture of the Acne Control formula is different from the original. The original has a whipped mousse-like texture, where as the Acne Control formula is more of a liquid. Applies beautifully, as it melts into skin looking undetectable on the skin. Buildable if you prefer to layer it up for more coverage, since on it's own it has sheer coverage (I think it has less coverage than the original with a single layer). The coverage issue is probably the only reason I did not give this a 5 out of 5 Kisses. But for what I use this product as - a makeup primer - I don't really care about the coverage.

As I've mentioned, I personally like to use this as a makeup primer. I find it helps to fight my blemishes while I have makeup on, yet it doesn't interfere with my makeup at all. If anything, it acts just like a makeup primer would. I find it helps my foundation go on smoothly and it really does help control oil - something that was very noticeable when using this product.

Consider this your acne treatment, your tinted moisturizer, your BB cream, and your makeup primer all in one product. I really loved his product and very much prefer it over the original version. If you have acne prone skin, or currently are battling acne, then I highly recommend giving this a try. It is worth every penny!

Miracle Skin Transfer (2 products): Vanish and Heal Everything Balm - pics, swatches, reviews

Hello, Beautiful!

I have two newer products from Miracle Skin Transfer to share with you in this post. Both products are nice, but I am head-over-heels in love with Vanish!

Check out my pics, swatches, info, and reviews... click on pics to view them larger.

Miracle Skin Transformer
Vanish

 

 

 

Miracle Skin Transformer Vanish Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $58.00 (1 oz full size). Available on the Miracle Skin Transformer website, at Sephora, and everywhere else Miracle Skin Transformer is sold.

My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

Vanish is a concentrated skin treatment that instantly brightens and primes to smooth the appearance of fine lines and pores, while fading dark spots and improving skin's tone and texture over time.

This instant skin treatment addresses quadruple threat of skin concerns: fine lines/aging, sun damage/environmental stress, dark spots, and dullness.

High-tech optimized vitamin C and ergothioneine combine to create a "super antioxidant duo" helping to reduce fine lines, improve elasticity, brighten skin tone and boost collagen production. Lupine helps brighten and protect skin while dramatically improving its texture and appearance. Provides DNA protection against oxidative damage, protecting the tone and elasticity of the skin. Enriched extracts of perennial plants work on two levels to instantly improve the evenness of skin tone and help fade the appearance of dark spots. Sesame and grapefruit jump start skin's defense system by helping cells resist environmental stresses and reduce and soothe skin irritations including sun exposure and chemical aggressors. This special form of organic sesame oil supplies skin with essential fatty acids for more hydration.

The silky-smooth texture virtually becomes one with skin, delivering a mix of imperfection blurring optical diffusers that conceal lines, pores and imperfections in an instant. Based on a 1-month user study of 30 women:

• 100% of uses saw visibly improved skin texture and brighter, more radiant skin.
• 95% agreed Vanish instantly made their skin look and feel smoother and younger.
• 90% felt Vanish instantly minimized the look of discoloration, dullness and surface redness.
• 90% saw less noticeable pores.

Vanish barely has a scent, so it's great for those of us that have sensitive noses. It has a nice, creamy smooth texture and a little goes a long way. Spreads onto the skin easily. Easy to use pump-top tube.

I love using this before makeup as my primer, or before I use a makeup primer. Sometimes I will put this all over my face, using it as an all-over primer and then I'll go straight to foundation. Other times I will use this as a spot treatment primer, applying it on my smile lines (which bother me the most) and my pores, then I'll apply a regular makeup primer and do my usual routine. 

I did the before & after pic showing how it works on the inside of my wrist, where wrinkles are deep and very noticeable. You can see what a good job it did there, and the wrinkles on my face are not that deep/noticeable, so you can imagine how good it works on the face for fine lines and pores.

This is a product I really fell in love with and would highly recommend!

Miracle Skin Transformer
Heal Everything Balm

  

 

Miracle Skin Transformer Heal Everything Balm Info & Review:

Cost/Availability: $26.00 (0.85 oz full size). Available on the Miracle Skin Transformer website, at Sephora, and everywhere else Miracle Skin Transformer is sold. 

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

This is a multi-purpose treatment beauty balm. Specially designed to immediately hydrate sensitive, irritated skin, and soothe the multiple sources of aggression and stress, it is the ultimate skin soothing solution for the face and body. The unique formula blends waxes, oils, botanical antioxidants and reparative ingredients, such as Manuka Honey and Japanese Licorice Root Extract.

Miracle Skin Transformer Heal Everything Balm's intensive M3 Complex contains a blend of over 30 moisturizers and emollient ingredients such as tamanu oil, evening primrose and blue mountain sage oil that enhances the skin's own natural repair process.

Here are some of the ways the Heal Everything Balm can help:

• Helps skin recover from sun-induced irritation.
• Helps protect, soothe and moisturize dry skin.
• Helps reduce redness and irritation after waxing or shaving.
• Helps reduce stinging.
• Helps the skin maintain its own natural defenses against environmental assaults.
• Helps reduce skin redness caused by weather burns, abrasions, and minor irritations.

Some common uses:

• After strong exposure to sun.
• After skin has been irritated by waxing, shaving, and other cosmetic treatments.
• After exposure to cold in climates and wind burn.
• To alleviate irritation and redness due to chaffing, stings and bug bites.

This has a nice creamy, rich, smooth texture. A little goes a long way. Squeeze tube with twist-off top.

I found it to be a nice healing balm; as I tried it out on bug bites on my son and he seemed to think it helped. I also tried it out on my friend's hands after he was out in the cold for hours telling me how bad his hands hurt from the cold. He said it did help to soothe them.

I'd recommend checking this out.
