Give Your Eyes The Royal Anti-aging Treatment, The Natural & Vegan Way


Give Your Eyes The Royal Anti-aging Treatment, The Natural & Vegan Way, VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask by Barbies beauty bits


Everyone loves to be pampered and treated like royalty. But what if this luxury could also apply towards aging skin? Sound good? It’s better than good with VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask.

Beauties, you’ve heard me say it time and time again, getting older has both its ups and downs.   And although some may say that “wrinkles indicate where smiles have been”. Or “I’ve got designer bags under my eyes”… While those quotes are cute to read, there is nothing cute about tired, aging eyes!

So, if you want to see how you can help to bag some of these under eye issues a natural and vegan way, continue reading!

For this post, I have partnered up with VIIcode.  This company has been around for over 200 years!  Starting with Byrne Victor, who believed “every woman (including Queen Josephine, wife of Napoleon), could be the most beautiful in her way”.  Now, two centuries later, his belief has not only been confirmed universally but also has the continuous impact on the growth of the beauty industry and their company.

There is tons of money that is spent to treat aging skin, and honestly most are very costly! That is why VIIcode developed two categories of skincare.  VII Beauty for basic skin care and VIIcode for luxury skin care.  Enabling all women to look as if they belonged to that high social status of beauty and royalty, allowing them to say: "Mirror, Mirror On The Wall, Who's The Fairest Of Them All?"

In addition, to them making it affordable, I also liked the idea that the VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask was a natural vegan approach to replenishing and reviving your skin, enabling a more resilient and youthful looking appearance around the eye.  

Ways to reduce under eye puffiness and wrinkles by barbies beauty bits


So How Does VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask Really Work? 
  • You get three boxes of the oxygen eye masks, which is considered a full application.
  • After cleaning your face, you want to peel off the plastic protector and gently press the mask around your eye. 
  • Apply them at night, and it will work while you sleep! Giving yourself an 8-hour anti-aging sleeping beauty treatment!
  • Treatment is 2 or 3 times a week. 

What Are The Ingredients In The Under Eye Mask? 

As I mentioned early the VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask is both Vegan and Natural. It is also Alcohol-Free & NonComedogenic!  Awesome, right?

The main ingredients are…
  • Ecological Oxygen Plant Extraction (EOPE) from the Vadaniya plant
  • Extracts of the Resurrection Fern
  • Welwitschia mirabilis is also added to make the skin around your eyes more radiant
Other Secrets to Help Bag Those Puffy Eyes

In addition to an anti-aging product, like the VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask, there are some other secrets you can implement that can help to bag those under eye issues.

Sleep: Changing up the way you sleep by elevating the head, can help to reduce fluid retention.  Hence, you will need to sleep on your back, with your head propped up on a few extra pillows.

Your Diet: Reduce the intake of alcohol & salt as these both can cause water retention, which can cause puffiness.

Makeup: It is important to make sure that you remove your eye makeup every night before bed!

Lastly, lack of oxygen delivery to tissue can cause darkness and other aging signs around the eyes.  And using the VIIcode O2M Oxygen Eye Mask can help to get rid of puffiness, wrinkles, and eliminate dark circles. The mask contains a variety of special plant oxygen extracts that re-activate  the oxygen intake of blood.

My Final Thoughts On The Product

This product couldn’t have came at a better time.  While I don’t have darkness under my eyes, stress and starring at a computer screen from 8 plus hours a day, has had an adverse effect on my eyes, these past few weeks.

The fact that these masks could be used at night while I was sleeping was a bonus for me. They were very easy to use, and I love that each pair came individually wrapped. The gel-like membrane that adheres to your under eye area has a pleasant cooling feeling; which was the royalty treatment I was looking for after hours of staring at a computer screen.

Overall, I could see a reduction in puffiness under my eyes.  As far as the wrinkles have to go, I don't have any, but I could see if a difference in the texture of my skincare where the mask laid.

Just In…Facebook Is Making Changes to What Posts Will Be Shown At the Top Of Your Newsfeed


Facebook is using qualitative feedback to determine What Posts Will Be Shown At the Top Of Your Newsfeed, By Barbies Social Media Bits

With the New Year always comes new changes, and it is not any different with Facebook.  Yes, Facebook is once again making some changes to the News Feed algorithm, helping to weed out posts you may not want to see.

Facebook's goal is to make the users experience better, and this is why they are always conducting surveys. You may have recently been asked: "What would you like to see on your news feed or to rate a story," now you know why.   Facebook's goal is to place the content in front of people that want to see it.

Facebook said on Monday, “The goal of News Feed is to show you the stories that matter most to you. The actions people take on Facebook—liking, clicking, commenting or sharing a post—are historically some of the main factors considered to determine what to show at the top of your News Feed. But these factors don’t always tell us the whole story of what is most meaningful to you.”

Facebook also mentions, “That this update should not impact your reach or referral traffic. But, some pages may see increases in referral traffic if your posts are considered meaning while other may see a decline if the rate of which people are clicking on your stories does not match what the survey indicated people wanted to see.”

How does this affect your business Facebook page?

While these may seem like small changes, in my opinion it is not.  Why? Because, the posts that will be shown or seen will now be determined by the likelihood that your audience wants to see it, not just by the actions that are taken on the posts. For example, if there are a lot of actions on a post (likes, comments, etc.), but this type of post was not one that was indicated as a post that would like to be seen, it could have a negative effect on your page.

Facebook's software engineers Cheng Zhang and Si Chen suggests: "That page owners need to avoid engorging people to take a particular action (like clicking or liking). While this type of activity will show a temporary spike in your metrics, if it doesn’t match what your audience has said they want to see, it can have a negative effective on your page."

Overall this Facebook update is going to help re-balance the actions on your page to what people have reported that they want to see.
