Drunk Elephant’s The Trunk 3.0 is the top-of-the-line, most wanted gift in skincare for 2019! 

​Everyone has been talking about it. Drunk Elephant has put together 10 of their top-selling skin care products and stocked them all in the coolest (pun intended) neon fridge on the market - and I’m so excited to include it in my Ultimate Holiday Giveaway this year!
 
I use all the products in this collection and have been a huge fan of Drunk Elephant for the past few years. Drunk Elephant is a “Clean Skincare Company,” but they go beyond just “Clean.” They make “Clean Compatible Skincare,” meaning they are committed to using only ingredients that either directly benefit the skin’s health, or support the integrity and effectiveness of their formulations.

​Drunk Elephant is also cruelty-free, and a lot of their products are vegan.

​The trunk set contains some of the best Drunk Elephant products, along with a fully-functioning fridge. While it isn’t necessary to refrigerate these items, chilling them definitely makes product application so refreshing!

This Drunk Elephant Kit includes:
- 1 oz/ 30 mL A-Passioni™ Retinol Cream
- 5 oz/ 150 mL Beste™ No.9 Jelly Cleanser
- 1.69 oz/ 50 mL Protini™ Polypeptide Cream
- 1.69 oz/ 50 mL Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream
- 1.67 oz/ 50 mL B-Hydra™ Intensive Hydration Serum
- 1 oz/ 30 mL C-Firma™ Day Serum
- 1 oz/ 30 mL T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum
- 1 oz/ 30 mL Virgina Marula Luxury Facial Oil
- 0.5 oz/ 15 mL C-Tango™ Multivitamin Eye Cream
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Umbra Sheer™ Physical Daily Defense SPF 30

I use the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum along with their C-Firma Day Serum every day under my makeup. From Retinol Creams to Jelly Cleansers, to Moisturizers and Facial Oils, they are all here in this highly sought-after vault. ​

Welcome to the Mrs. Stafford Community where no topic is off limits! I want this blog to be a forum for women my age to be able to discuss everything beauty and fashion, as well as the more sensitive subjects such as menopause and healthy aging. I’m starting my sixties and I feel the best I have in years, and I want to help other women feel the same way. As a community, I think we can come together and start the conversation. This is all about women supporting other women, and trying to have some fun in the meantime.

Attention Ladies: We’d love to hear from you! Your questions are driving the discussions. Don’t hesitate to comment, especially on the “Can We Talk” series as well as “Glowing with Mrs. Stafford”. Without you there is no discussion, so don’t be shy!

The third item in my Ultimate Holiday Giveaway this year is the GloPRO Microneedling Regeneration Tool kit by BeautyBio. I have used my GloPRO for several years and love the results! This is another one of those treatments that you can now do at home, anytime you want, instead of having to do a costly, in-office procedure!
​

​Microneedling is a non-invasive way to improve the look of scars and boost collagen by creating microscopic punctures in the skin. I know that may sound a little scary, but the GloPRO microneedling regeneration tool is completely safe! 

The device is made up of micro-fine needles that cause slight injury to the skin, which then encourages the skin to create new, collagen-rich tissue. It will help to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles, dullness, uneven texture, acne scars, and puffiness in the face and neck. It will help make the skin firmer, too!

Microneedling can also provide amazing benefits for the body. It can reduce the look of stretch marks and scars, and even help with hair loss.
​

This kit comes with a travel-friendly storage organizer that’s fully loaded with the award-winning BeautyBio GloPRO Microneedling Tool and all five attachment heads.

- GloPRO® Microneedling Regeneration Tool 
- Face Microtip™ Head
- Eye Microtip™ Head
- Lip Micotip™ Head
- Body Microtip™ Head
- Rose Quartz Attachment Head
- 5 x GloPRO® Skin Prep Pad
- Pack N' Glo storage organizer 
- Refillable sanitizing spritzer bottle

Total Value: $389
​

Step 1: Use GloPRO® Microneedling Tool with MicroTip™ Attachment Heads at night after cleansing and clarifying skin with GloPRO® Skin Prep Pads.
Step 2: After choosing target area, select appropriate MicroTip™ for the GloPRO® and press power to activate the LED red light and VibroTactile™ stimulation.
Step 3: Roll across area (face, eyes, lips, body) in a combination of vertical, horizontal, and diagonal directions for a total of 60 seconds. Let the weight of the tool work its magic, no pressure needed.
Step 4: Immediately apply your favorite serum and moisturizer to see 200 times better absorption.
Step 5: Seal in serums and facial oils by rolling skin with the Rose Quartz FACE + Body Attachment Head at the end of your skincare routine

While microneedling doesn’t really hurt, it can be a little uncomfortable. Keep in mind that afterwards, your skin will be red and sensitive for some time. But it’s totally worth it, because it works!

The Personal Microderm Pro and PMD Clean Holiday Bundle is one of my Ultimate Holiday Giveaway items this year. I’m so excited about sharing this product with you, because it provides all of the great skincare benefits of a microdermabrasion, without the hefty cost!
​

One of the best things you can do for your skin is a microdermabrasion treatment. Exfoliating away dead, dull cells from the surface of your skin allows new cell growth.

The results? Your skincare products will work even better on your fresh, new skin barrier! Normally you would need to do an in-office treatment, but now you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

​There is no down time, and your skin will feel so soft and smooth!
​

PMD Pink Personal Microderm PRO and PMD Pink Clean Facial Cleansing Device - Along with the Personal Microderm PRO microdermabrasion machine, you will also receive the PMD Clean Facial Cleansing Device.

​With 7,000 vibrations per minute, this exfoliating brush will not only deeply cleanse your skin, but also provides a way to visibly lift, firm and tone problem areas for a more fresh appearance. Say bye-bye to fine lines and wrinkles… did I mention that both of them are also pink and absolutely adorable?! 

Total Value: $298

Personal Microderm Pro:
-Use white disc to practice on arm before using on face

I’ve posted about the NuFACE microcurrent device previously and have used it for quite a few years. This is a microcurrent skincare kit that will tone, lift and contour your face and neck. And if you’re wondering if it works… the answer is YES! The results are immediate. That’s why I’m so excited to include it in my Ultimate Holiday Giveaway this year!
​

Also referred to as a “natural face lift,” a microcurrent facial helps give you a more defined look by lifting and sculpting the face and neck.

​The microcurrent machine emits very low-voltage electrical currents, mimicking your own body's electrical currents, which help repair damaged skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. You can use this every day and there is no down time!
​

​This kit has everything you need to do a microcurrent facial at home, including:

- NuFACE Trinity®  Device 
- Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer
- NuFACE FIX™ Serum
- Adorable Pink Shimmer Compact Mirror & Dust Bag
- Charging cradle
- Power adapter

This set is perfect for a spa night after a long day, and leave your skin feeling brand new!

Total Value: $399

Here is a step by step process of how to use this device:

​Step 1: Cleanse skin and apply a mask-like layer of the NuFACE Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer directly on to skin working in sections as you treat. 
Step 2:  Glide the NuFACE Trinity® Device along the natural contours of face and neck as instructed. 
Step 3: Massage remaining Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer into skin. 
Step 4: Throughout the day, gently tap on NuFACE FIX™ Serum to awaken the look of tired eyes, revive dull-looking skin, and restore radiance. 
Step 5: Use the NUFACE Trinity® Device with Hydrating Leave-On Gel Primer five days per week, five minutes per day for the first 60 days, then maintain results using two to three days per week. 
Step 6: Use FIX Serum anytime skin needs a refreshing boost.
