 Holy grail, my holy grail, I kid you not. I finally found my holy grail concealer. I'm so happy. I am so happy. Yeah. And I have been looking for a long time. I'm 68 years old and it took me a long time to find my holy grail concealer. If you're curious, stay tuned. Thank you so much for joining me. You know, I have never done a one brand video. I've also never done a sponsored video where I've been paid for my content. Although I've certainly had a number of requests to do that. And oftentimes the request actually comes with me having to commit to a X amount of long video and, you know, just exclusively talking about a product that I haven't even had the option to try first. It's sort of like you commit ahead of time. They'll send you the product. You get to keep the product and they'll pay you X amount of dollars to do a sponsored video. Not always, obviously, but the ones that I've encountered have been like that. So anyway, so I have never jumped on the sponsored video bandwagon. Not that I haven't been curious, but I just never really found a company that was willing to give me the terms that I feel comfortable with. So this video is not sponsored. Farrah has not paid me to produce this video. However, I did receive the products complimentary from the Octoling network. And let me just explain that the very first product that I requested on the Octoling network that came from Three Arrow and at the time I'd never heard of Three Arrow before and I was like, they had mentioned the mature woman, right? And so I was like really intrigued by that because I find that a lot of the brands, they're looking for younger women, you know? And so here was the brand that was touting the mature woman. And I was just really curious to see whether they would actually consider me, you know, to review the product because I've been turned down a lot. And so anyway, so they had a neck cream and I thought, this sounds really nice. So I went on their website, I checked out the company and their message, I'm going to link their message below so that, and I hope that you read it, but take a minute or two and just read their brand story. It just resonated with me. The first thing you read when you go to their brand story is they talk about the awakening they had when they realize the huge corporate greed and also misleading information that was happening. I mean they use pretty strong words, makeup, skincare. It's a multi-billion dollar industry and the corporate greed is alive and well. And Three Arrow talked about the fact that people were spending a ton of money. They were wasting money after money after money because they believe these promises from some of the brands that, oh yeah, this is going to take away 20 years, this is going to make you look younger, this is going to this, this is going to that. And people were sick and tired of really wasting money and I truly believe in that. So they, and I think the thing that really has always bothered me is when I see a brand promoting a product for say someone my age and the model is a 20-something year old or a 30-something year old with beautiful skin, flawless skin, yet they were trying to tout it to the mature woman and I, this has always bothered me. And some of you know recently I had the issue with Savora who as soon as they knew my age didn't care about my opinion anymore. And I, I'm like, oh my gosh, so Friara, back when I first started, I read that message and I said, wow, okay. So I cruise their website, all of the people that talked about their products, all the photos they used, I'm going to include some of them in here, especially on the neck cream because that was the first product that I tried from, sorry my battery died, so I'm probably not in the same position, the lighting might be a little bit different, but I'm going to continue on with my, my feelings about this company. So when I saw that they were all mature women, the models they were using, the ladies that were talking about the product and, and while they were, everyone was gorgeous and, you know, every, every woman I think is beautiful in her own way, none of them had perfect, smooth, unwrinkled skin. You know, they, they looked mature, they looked older and they talked about this product. And I said, hmm, all right, I'm going to give it a try. So I requested the neck cream, not sure, because you know the way Octoly works, right? You, Octoly may approve you as a influencer, as they call it, or content creator, and you get to select products, but the individual brands that you select from still have to approve you. And that's where I, I do get rejected a lot. I'll look at this thing and I'll go, oh, I like that. But then they check you out and of course they're probably looking for someone that's more younger, you know, and all that. So I don't get every product I want to review or I'm curious to share with you. So anyways, I requested the neck cream and oh my gosh. Now I've mentioned this neck cream. It is absolutely beautiful. Friera, I don't know what it is about their, their ingredients. I don't, I really don't know what it is, but their neck cream is, is really wonderful. This is the first thing I got. I have a little, I have my own little rubber spatula that I use when I take the cream out. But um, oh my gosh, this is really, it's really nice. So I have been using this on my neck and I come up in the morning typically and I'll do it at night before bed too. And I'll come up and I'll go try to do my gels. And I'm not saying that it's given me a lift, but it's giving me my neck feels really good. And I think it looks pretty good for 68. They're not claiming that I'm going to look 20. And so that's not anything of an expectation. But the neck cream was really the first thing that I tried. The Aputage Cream that they, they talk about having will help you tighten over time. It is that turkey neck. It's a solution for the turkey neck to try to help you get that firmer look you had in your yester years. It's formulated especially for the delicate skin and your skin is delicate. It's a lot thinner here. So the formulation is really, really beautiful. I haven't really noticed any kind of a super lifting, but I have noticed in my opinion, my skin looks plumper. It looks, looks smoother and it feels firmer. It feels tighter on my neck and in my, you know, in my, um, my decolletage area, um, all of that. I think it's really helped. I really liked the cream a lot. I talked about it in my previous review. So after I saw that cream, I started to really pay attention because I was wearing this cream all day. My neck felt hydrated. Just feel it felt really good. And at that time too, I'd had my Mohs surgery and I noticed that they were, they were touting a concealer. And concealers, I'm not a huge concealer gal because I have like this whole container full of different concealers from different brands, including top name brands, IT Cosmetics, Boeing, Benefin. And I, that's out of all my concealers that I've been using, the Benefin is my favorite. But I have a ton of different concealers, but none of them, none of them have made me feel as good, as confident in my skin really as their concealer. So their luxury concealer, the colors that I wear is, I wear the medium light, neutral light and the light. And I'm going to close the picture here. This is me with no makeup on. I do have my skincare on and I do, and I did put my scar away. I have like a silicone cream that I put on my scar and do that first thing every morning after I wash my face and let it dry. I have to let it dry for a while before I put any makeup on. So I have that on. And in the first picture, it's just my skin, nothing else, a little bit of mascara because I just can't go anywhere without my mascara. And as you can see here, you know, my skin, my, I have a lot of problems to my skin, but my skin is doing pretty well for 68. So my scar is healing tremendously. My surgery was June 22nd and it's a little over three months and it's really been healing well. This next picture that I'm going to insert is after I put one coat of the concealer on. And I ended up putting the concealer on and it comes with a brush. They send you a really nice little brush. So if you are a brush person, you can smooth it. And this brush is really nice. I use the brush and I use my fingertips, which is probably why it's a little messy, and my fingertips. But in the second picture, I had put the concealer on and padded it in around my scar, on my nose, on my veins, and a few other spots on my face and I just blended it in. The trick to the concealer is you take the tube and you put it between your hands. And you just, you warm it up in your hands. You just have to hold it maybe for a minute, if that long. You warm it up, it warms up really quickly. And then you open it up and you just take a tiny, itty bitty, unless you want to. And you certainly can because I put this on and then blended it into my skin and forgot to put foundation. So you could use this to cover your entire face if you so choose. You can also have this be a super full coverage if you want. But anyways, I put this on my scar. I put it on a few of my spots and under my eyes a little bit. I love, love, love this concealer. What I love about the concealer the most is that I go to work early. At 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock I might be in the ladies room. I might look in the mirror and I'm not seeing any cakeiness. Normally I'd go in and I'd be like, you know, touching up cakeiness. You know, because it settles, even sometimes your foundation settles into your fine lines. Absolutely, for me, Holy Grail, Holy Grail concealer. I absolutely love this concealer. It just works wonderful with my skin. Absolutely. So, and then, so thirdly, I said, I mean, I wish I probably will try to pick up there. They have like a finishing powder. They have a vitamin C. They have a few other products in the product line that I thought sounds really good. They don't have a foundation, but the concealer, you warm it up in your hands and it can go, it goes on so smooth. And I'll tell you, if you're looking for something that isn't going to settle into all those lines, it's perfect and you want a little bit of coverage, it's perfect. Their color choice on their website, you can see the different colors. They've got a couple of different swatches and their color choices are, I think they have five different colors and I think it's pretty done good. So, I really was so impressed. I ended up requesting from the Octoly Network and this was sent to me complimentary in exchange for a review. Again, this is not a sponsored video. Even though all I'm doing is talking about FIARA, right? Because I love, love, love their products. So FIARA has sent this to me via Octoly and this is their Apple Stem Cell Cream. Oh my gosh. So after I do my skincare and I take and do all my skincare and I've washed and I've done whatever, and I, you know, I don't have the vitamin C so I'm still using my regular vitamin C. After I've done all that, before I go to do anything else, I put this on. I love, love, love this cream. I have been using this cream every day since I've received it. It is really nice. Let me just tell you what it says here. Their Apple Stem Cell Cream is the holy grail of achieving tighter, brighter, younger looking skin. The stem cells derived from rare Apple trees. This amazing cream is scientifically proven to have extraordinary longevity and regenerative properties for your skin. Restores useful glow, tightens and firms, keeps your wrinkles, I think, under control because it hydrates you. So it is just really, really a beautiful cream. I really like it. Super happy with it. So this was said to be complimentary. And between my neck cream that I used from FIARA and this, my skin has never been better. So let me go back onto the concealer because that is really what I'm so super, super excited about, that concealer. So it talks about on your concealer, right, that you apply it like I said. You warm it up a little bit. You apply it. It's going to make your skin look really good. Once you put it on and it dries, it stays, but it never, ever gets that hard, hard in your wrinkles stuff. So here's what it has. It has six ingredients that go to work, they say, behind the scenes. And I also believe in this. So they have a sodium hyal. And I know, you know, I can't really pronounce these words, but a sodium hyal or not or whatever. It's sort of a sodium salt. It holds water. It is just a really great substance. It doesn't add a ton of weight, but it keeps you really hydrated. The other thing it has is has vitamin C in it, which I think is really awesome. It has collagen in it. And you know, I'm a huge collagen fan. I drink, I have collagen. I mix in my coffee every single morning and I have collagen at night. It also has lechin in it, which is a sugar, which is a super type of a moisturizer and conditioner via skin. Really nice. And then it has vitamin E. And it has something called haloxy, which helps with any kind of dark under eye circle remover. So to me, it's a power horse. It's a multi-tasker. It's definitely my holy grail. It's delicious. I love it. So people have actually actually commented because I have a lot of people that kind of look at me really up close because they know I had my surgery. So when I'm at work, whatever people are looking at me, I usually get a comment and I can't see my scar or they can't or my skin looks really good. And I really, really think that I've had more comments since I've been using this three products than anything else. So yeah, so I'm super excited. Fiera doesn't really know anything much about me. Other than that, they did approve me through Octoly. So thank you so much. But this is, again, not sponsored. They're not paying me to say any of this. But I'm just going to tell you, if you are on a concealer hunt, check this concealer out. It is awesome. In fact, Babs Take Control of Beauty had asked me about it and I told her I loved it and she ended up buying it. And she really likes it. She did a review on it. I'll link her video. And now she's in her, I think she's 78, 79. She's 10 years older than me and her skin looks much better than mine does. She's just one heck of a beautiful woman. So I'm going to link her a video because I do know that she does talk about it. So yeah, trust me. I hate to say that, but really, I love this stuff. It is awesome. It is awesome. And again, it does come with a little brush. They often have sales. They have, like, buy two, get one free. They have, they're cruelty-free. They're paraben-free. Their philosophy is a 30-day return, no hassle, return policy. If you don't like it, what do you have to lose? Nothing, I thought. So I am loving this. Absolutely loving this. And I definitely want to try and get my hands on their vitamin C. Definitely. I think that is going to be awesome. So anyways, I know this is probably long for just talking about one product, but this is one product that, in my opinion, is worth a long video. So anyways, thank you guys so much for watching. Appreciate every single one of you. And I will chat with you later. Bye-bye.
