{HTY} Gold - Review {Skin-Care}

New here? You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed! 

How important is your skin? 

If you answered something like - 'very important' or 'important enough' you should keep reading. 
Today I am talking about 'Hide the Years {HTY} Gold' brand.


If you haven't heard about this brand; join the club. 
However; now you have && you should definitely take note. 

Their philosophy isn't much different then most other skin-care lines, but they stand out in two VERY important ways. 

{1} Their products are ALL-NATURAL
{2} They are Physician recommended and Dermatologist tested. 

HTY Gold focuses on Anti-Aging creams.
I don't know if you've noticed or not, but I am only 24 && luckily not showing signs of aging just yet. 
However, I am a firm believer that in order for my skin to stay young, I need to start when I'm young. 

Being pro-active in most cases always works. Once the wrinkles come, we may be able to get them to fade a little; but why not keep them from coming in the first place. {as much as possible, anyways}. 

Today I am reviewing the HTY 'Eye Gold' - Their Eye Cream 



What HTY Says:

Eye Gold is a powerful anti-oxidant under eye anti-wrinkle cream. This gentle yet intensely effective patented eye cream is specifically designed to prevent and conquer fine lines, crow's feet and puffiness around the delicate eye area. With the power of the rare super red palm olein, EYE GOLD deeply penetrates into the skin to nourish, heal, smooth and enhance your skin's natural firmness and elasticity.
HTY Gold All-Natural Ingredients:
prevent wrinkles and Crows feet: Elaeis Gaineenis (Palm Oil), Red Elaeis Gaineenis (Red Palm Super Olein)
The above ingredients are rich in Tocotrienols, Tocopherols, CQ10, Apha Carotene, Beta Carotene, Vitamin A, Vitamin D & Vitamin E Being an all-natural product HTY Gold is a best natural eye cream which may change consistency.
It may liquefy, separate, harden or form Natural Palm Crystals. These small changes wil not affect the power of these unique creamed oils. Simply warm, cool or mix to create your desired consistency. Keep at room temperature. No animal testing. No animal by-products.

The first thing that I noticed about this eye cream is the consistency.
It's {weird} but cool at the same the time.

It's a mousse. Which is really interesting && I love interesting items.
Who wants to use a boring cream, when you can use a mousse.

I'm not sure how well I can review this product because I don't have wrinkles.
I consider the skin under my eyes pretty firm already.

I can say that this product helps with puffiness and dark circles under my eye area.
Two things that I don't suffer from badly.

I {really} love that the packaging is so big. It comes with a LOT of product.
This thing is going to last me forever; seriously.

It just takes a tiny dab around my eyes, I wonder if it expires. Either way; I see this stuff lasting for a long ass time. Which is awesome because it's $49.95.

I honestly believe that when it comes to skin-care we should splurge.
We need to ensure that we take care of our skin; otherwise our makeup won't even matter.

I'm pretty excited about this product, and really love it {or I at least love the idea of it}.

Hello to all you gorgeous readers who stop by Nykki's blog. I want to start off this post by telling you how amazing Nykki is {some of you already know but if you don't, listen up!}.

I have known Nykki for somewhere about a year now and it may be somewhat hard to express how much I am glad that we are blogger friends. Nykki is always so helpful when it is the hard times and you are going nuts. Her blog is absolutely amazing {but you probably knew that already}. You can find not only beauty posts, but tips on blogging and definitely 1 way or another to give your blog more exposure. She is like the big sister everyone wished for when they were young. So for this wonderful year of our friendship and all the times she has helped me in one way or another, I would like to say a huge thank you. I hope we continue to be blogger friends.

So now you are probably thinking who is the person behind this post. Yes, a bit silly I didn't introduce myself first but the appreciation was more important. Now, it's time to get to know me. If you are a loyal follower of Nykki's blog you probably saw me in one post or another. Actually I am in quite a few.


My name is Nia and I blog over at Cherryfashion. My life is quite complicated {although isn't everyone's?} but I love it. I am currently studying to get my master's degrees - Master in Business Administration and Master in Finance. If that sounds like fun or wow, well it definitely is wow but no fun absolutely. I work a 9-5 and find time whenever I can to write some posts. I joined the blogging world about 1.5 years ago and have been loving it ever since.



On my blog you can find outfit posts, blog hops, blogging tips, features, reviews and more. All you have to do is stop by and spend some time there. Don't forget to say hi so I can stop by yours as well. Here are my links:



If you would like to chat then you can always tweet me: @Niasky.

Cold Sores {101} && Abreva {Review}

New here? You may want to subscribe to my RSS feed! 
2 {Current Giveaways} 
'What is that on your lip?' followed by a disgusting stare...
'You have herpes!' are two of the unbelievably ignorant things I've heard out of people's mouths regarding cold sores or fever blisters. 

They are in fact Herpes, but not to the degree of how they make it seem. 


Today I want to talk to you about these disgusting little bumps that are found on so many of our mouths. If you think this is a 'nasty' or 'gross' topic, click away. Remain ignorant && grow the Fuck up.

What are Cold Sores: 
According to WebMD - Cold sores, sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.

Another website describes them as: Oral herpes is a common infection of the mouth area. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1).

I think most of us know what cold sores are and what they look like. 
Most of us have dealt with one or two in the past. 

Actually according to this website about 85 percent if not more of the world have been 'infected' by this virus. 

This one claims that most people are infected by the time they are 20 years old. 

That's right a great percentage of the world is/ or will be 'infected'. 
Ugh, infected - such a drastic word for something so obviously common. 

The truth is, most of us are infected as babies. 
It's so adorable to hold and kiss the new baby, isn't it? 

Oh, You think you aren't 'infected' - Actually you don't even know. 
Most people don't even show signs; lucky you. 

I am unfortunate to have been getting these incredibly uncomfortable blisters since I was very young. 
It could have been spread to me by something so simple as sharing a drink with a friend, or getting a kiss from a family member. Who knows. 

I get them bad, and often. There are signs. I get them when I'm sick, or really stressed out. I even get them when I'm anxious or really really excited about something. Anytime, my mood drastically changes. It's extremely annoying. I hate it && I am incredibly embarrassed by it. 


I try my best to cover them up, in hopes that nobody will see. 
I know what they will think, I know what will go through there minds. 


They must think I'm disgusting, or slutty - or something in that nature. 
It's pretty fucking ridiculous if you ask me. 

Why should I be worried about these ignorant people? 
It's not my fault. I didn't do anything. I didn't ask for them. 

Yet, I always worry. I always get embarrassed. 

Thank God, I have found Abreva. 
Yes, Hallelujah. 
Abreva is a medication for cold sores. You can find it in any drugstore. 
It's expensive, but worth every penny. 

As soon as I feel one {or three} coming along I grab my Abreva and apply, apply, and apply. 
This will usually cut my 'cold sore' time down to two or three days. Sometimes sooner if I catch it in time. 

Without Abreva, I look at about 2 weeks healing time. 
It's truly a life saver for me. 

What I'm trying to say to all of you; who are like me, and get frequent or infrequent cold sores - don't be embarrassed. More than 85% of the world get them too! 

Grab yourself some Abreva and hold your head up high! 

Disgusting or helpful?
