My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses!

This Holiday 2012 kit is such a fantastic gift for yourself or anyone on your gift list that wants beautiful skin.Includes a set of product enriched with vitamin C that work together to brighten and even skintone. Firms, hydrates, and battles the signs of aging by supporting healthy collagen, providing all-day hydration to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of dark circles. All products come in an orange bag you could re-use for your makeup, or taking this skincare on-the-go.

Kit includes:

• Truth Serum Collagen Booster (1 oz size - a $48.00 retail value)
• Truth Creme Advanced Hydration (1 oz size - a $26.47 retail value)
• Truth is in the Eyes Eye Peel Concentrate (0.25 oz size - a $21.00 retail value)
• Truth To Go Wipes (10 count pack - a $5.00 retail value)
• Travel Bag

That's a retail value of over $100 (not including the travel bag).

If you already love Ole Henriksen's Truth Serum Collagen Booster -- which already has a great following on its own -- then you will go crazy for this kit! Or perhaps you've always wanted to try the Truth line from Ole Henriksen  if so, this is the kit for you.

I already love the Truth Serum Collagen Booster, but haven't tried any of the other Truth products. I was excited to try these out, because I love the glow my skin gets from using the Truth Serum Collagen Booster. Even though I'm fairly young (I'll be 29 in April), my skin still sees benefits from using this line of products.

One thing I will note, the travel bag that's included in this kit is actually a good one! I love the orange color and the large space inside with little spots on the sides to store products. This is one travel bag I will use for my makeup, taking skincare with me, and more!

Excellent value, great presentation, and filled with great products. This is a kit I would highly recommend picking up this holiday season for yourself or someone lucky on your holiday gift list!

Formula: cream

Cost/Availability: $21.00 for the 7 oz size, or $30.00 for the 12 oz size. Available on the the Ole Henriksen website, and everywhere else Ole Henriksen is sold.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen Apricot Cleansing Lotion Review:

Comfort your complexion with this rich and creamy cleanser that gently removes even the most stubborn makeup, dirt and grime. Loaded with nature's most precious oils, this cleanser is great for even the most sensitive skin.

I had a friend test this out, since it's best for dry and/or sensitive skin. She said the smell was great - like apricots, and it didn't feel like a cleanser at all. To her, it felt like a lotion. There weren't suds, which she prefers, so she felt as though it didn't really clean her face but it was moisturizing. She said she'd only recommend it if you're okay with no suds.

Ole Henriksen Balancing Cucumber Face Tonic

 

Basic Stats for Ole Henriksen Balancing Cucumber Face Tonic:

Formula: liquid

Cost/Availability: $21.00 for the 7 oz size or $30.00 for the 12 oz size. Available on the the Ole Henriksen website, and everywhere else Ole Henriksen is sold.  

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen Review:

This skin brightening toner helps calm, renew and soften with plant and herbal extracts of cucumber essence, chamomile and ginseng. Soothing and replenishing, this tonic/mist is an indispensable part of your daily routine.

I tested out this toner, because I'm one of those people who love the way a toner feels. This one was nice and refreshing - really nothing to complain about. It says it's for dry/sensitive skin, but I have oily skin and this worked for me. Maybe not my most favorite toner, but it's a nice one. Check it out if you can!

Ole Henriksen Nurture Me

Basic Stats for Ole Henriksen Nurture Me:

Formula: cream

Cost/Availability: $40.00 (1.7 oz full size). Available on the the Ole Henriksen website, Sephora's website, and everywhere else Ole Henriksen is sold.  

My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen Nurture Me Review:

This soothing cream cushions skin with nourishing vitamins and helps calm, protect and hydrate sensitive skin. Nourishing oils guard the skin from environmental damage by strengthening the skin's natural defenses.

I tested this product out on my husband, who has dry skin. Both he and I loved the scent... smells really great! This product is very rich and creamy, but goes on so nicely - melting into your skin. It will give your skin a lot of moisture without being too, too much. I have oily skin and just used a little around random dry spots on my face and it instantly took care of them. This was a home-run product! I'd recommend!

Ole Henriksen Blue/Black Berry Enzyme Mask

Basic Stats for Ole Henriksen Blue/Black Berry Enzyme Mask:

Formula: gel mask

Cost/Availability: $32.00 (3.5 oz full size). Available on the Ole Henriksen website, Sephora's website, and everywhere else Ole Henriksen is sold.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen Blue/Black Berry Enzyme Mask Review:

An aromatic, reparative gel mask which hydrates with sodium hyaluronate and lavender to quench dry and sensitive skin. The perfect antidote to facial stress, this potent blend of extracts smoothes and polishes skin.

If you have sensitive skin, this is a great mask for you. It's gentle, but will do a great job at making your skin feel refreshed and hydrated. I have oily skin, so I don't use this mask all the time, but I do like to use it every now and then when my skin needs a boost or if it's feeling dry/tired - such as if I've been neglecting it. I use this on my husband, who has dry and sensitive skin. He likes this mask, but I doubt he'd ever admit he loved it (even though he's asked me to do this mask for him).

Overall, a great mask for those with dry and/or sensitive skin.

Ole Henriksen New Beginning Scrub

Basic Stats for Ole Henriksen New Beginning Scrub:

Formula: scrub

Cost/Availability: $24.00 (1.7 oz full size). Available on the Ole Henriksen website and everywhere else Ole Henriksen is sold.
My Rating: 5 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen New Beginning Scrub Review:

This scrub smoothes, oxygenates and exfoliates to reveal a more luminous complexion. Those with sensitive skin will embrace this gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells with tea tree oil and comforting jojoba wax beads.

Even if you don't have sensitive skin, this is a great mask for all skin types. I've used this on myself and my husband. It does a nice job at getting our skin soft and smooth without being too harsh.

I recommend!

Ole Henriksen Skin Insulator with SPF 15

Basic Stats for Ole Henriksen Skin Insulator with SPF 15:

Formula: rich, thick cream

Cost/Availability: Right now I can only find this product in the Dry/Sensitive Skin Starter Kit (which is where I got all these samples from), which is available on the Ole Henriksen website.

My Rating: 4 out of 5 Kisses

Ole Henriksen Skin Insulator with SPF 15 Review:

This cream is made to guard skin from cold weather. I don't need this now, as the temps are in the 70's here this week, but during colder weather my husband used this to help his very dry skin. He said it did a better job than he thought at keeping moisture in. I'd describe it as a jacket for your skin. Put this on when you plan to be out in the color weather and your face will thank you.
