Extreme Face Oil – Beautystat, USA

 
I love discovering new skincare brands just as much as I love discovering new makeup brands! I’m still new(er) to the world of facial oils, so I was really excited to test this one out from Lunalis Cosmetics. I had not heard of the brand so I went to their website to read more about them.

 

Lunalis Cosmetics is owned by sisters Laila and Nana, who are all about the world of natural skincare. Looking to the extraordinary plant life of their native Morocco, Laila and Nana created a skincare company that offers hydrating, age-defying solutions made from powerful, skin-friendly botanicals. Lunalis Cosmetics believes in nature being the ultimate catalyst for change, meticulous science, gentle simplicity, and female empowerment. This is a brand I can get behind!

 
 
Lunalis Cosmetics’ Extreme Face Oil retails for $90.00. This beautiful glass jar comes with 1 fl. oz. of product, which is guaranteed to last you a while as you only need a tiny bit. The Extreme Face Oil is full of beautifying fatty acids and age-defying antioxidants. It keeps your skin hydrated, plump, and younger looking, utilizing the power of prickly pear seed, pomegranate seed, and jojoba oils. Did I mention it also contains 24-karat gold flakes? Check out the bottom of the jar. I gave it a quick shake so I could take the following photo, allowing you to see the flakes swim within the oil.
 
Okay, so we’ve concluded that it’s pretty to look at, but let’s talk about the benefits. This multi-talented beauty oil is designed to not only moisturize dry skin, but to soften fine lines, brighten tone, and prime your complexion, allowing for flawless, even makeup application. Simply apply a few drops of this magical oil daily to quench your skin.

 

Additional benefits:

  • Softens dry, rough skin and seals in moisture, without clogging pores
  • Naturally rich in antioxidants and replenishing fatty acids
  • Improves skin elasticity, suppleness, and combats free radical formation
  • Boosts skin luminosity, dewiness, and radiance
  • Hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic

Even better? This product is cruelty free and formulated without: parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, petrolatum, synthetic color, synthetic fragrance, DEA, PABA, and paraffin.

Prickly pear seed oil is derived from fruit of the prickly pear cactus and nourishes, moisturizes, and softens dry or mature skin, while restoring skin’s elasticity. It is high in vitamin E, zinc, vitamin K, and linoleic acid. It protects skin against free radicals and UV damage while stimulating new cell growth and calming inflammation.

24-karat gold flakes are known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Gold is an instant skin brightener that gives dull complexions an alluring glow and incredible iridescence. The gold flakes dissolve on your skin’s surface to reflect light and tiny particles will seep in to protect against fine lines and hyperpigmentation.

Pomegranate seed oil is high in antioxidants and free radical fighting fatty-acids. It acts as a strong anti-ager, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve elasticity, and prevent moisture loss. The luxurious and deeply hydrating oil promotes skin cell regeneration, which enables your complexion to retain a fresh, youthful appearance.

Jojoba oil is believed to be the closest to our skin’s natural oils, making it suitable for all skin types, including those who are acne-prone (like me). This gentle, non-allergenic oil is loaded with essential fatty acids that enrich and repair, antioxidants (including vitamins A and E) that resist aging, and plant sterols that reduce inflammation. It absorbs quickly and easily into your skin, leaving it feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.

 The squeeze dropper makes it easy to get out just enough oil to use (just a few drops) and I love the click close feature that lets you know it’s sealed. I adore how lightweight this product is while being extremely efficient and hydrating. I have acne-prone, oily skin that overproduces oils while still managing to have dry patches (weird, right?). This oil is great to apply at night to boost hydration and even before makeup application in the morning. It has not clogged my pores at all and has given me a gorgeous natural luminosity to the skin. It truly absorbs into the skin within seconds, I find, and doesn’t leave your skin looking or feeling greasy, like some other facial oils I’ve tried.

Fortunately, it’s not heavy, so it does not affect the way my makeup wears throughout the day. I’m always apprehensive about trying facial oils on my skin underneath my makeup because I worry that it will cause my makeup to breakup quickly throughout the day, but I’m proud to say that this one does not. I love everything about this oil and I love what this company stands for. I’m very curious to try other products from them and to see their line expand. Lunalis Cosmetics has definitely won a customer for life from me!
