Vitamin C Lotion - Foxbrim {Review}

Foxbrim presents their Vitamin C Lotion to us which is another beauty product gem that should not disappoint its users. First lets take a look at their product claims:

1. Antioxidant protection
2. Lightening sunspots
3. Reduction in wrinkle formation
4. Strengthen skin elasticity
5. Help even skin tone

Next is a list of its main ingredients:

• Organic Herbal Infusion
• Organic Aloe Vera
• Palm Oil
• MSM
• Vitamin C
• Shea Butter
• Vitamin B5
• Jojoba Oil

This product does not state that it is an all natural product but the ingredients do not seem to include any sulphates or parabens. This lotion is mainly for face application but can also stand in for an all over body moisturizer which is great. I myself have never attempted to use my face moisturizer as a body lotion so I will not try that ability. However, using this face lotion is great. It is not greasy and does not irritate my sensitive combination skin. I use this lotion only on mornings because my night routine is different. I cleanse face and apply toner & serum, once that has been absorbed I apply this moisturizer. My face does not get dry throughout the day which is good because I am not one to reapply anything at any point in the day. This 1.7oz bottle can last long depending on how much you use and usually these products do not require more than a short squeeze. Overall you will be satisfied with this product and with continued use you will see improvements in your skin.

Natural Refresh Toner by Foxbrim - Review

Toners are a great to use in your daily beauty routine to cleanse, tone and prep your face. Foxbrim creates a toner with a witch hazel base in the ingredients which is great for daily skin care.

The ingredients include:

• Witch hazel
• Vitamin C
• Aloe Vera
• Yucca
• Sage
• Pomegranate
• Kelp
• Cranberry

This toner is all natural and alcohol free which is great because alcohol dries up my skin so much. Once I cleanse (wash) my face on a morning, apply my serum then spray the toner and lastly my moisturizer. This toner has aided in preventing the creation of new acne on my face which is always plus. I can not say that this little bottle is a must have for all because we all do not have the same issues. I stopped using make up because it broke my skin out crazy regardless of the type I used and I absolutely hated the layers. With adding the toner to my regimen, I am able to apply a bit of bronzer without any issues. This may not be true for many but it is true for me and I will continue using this toner in my morning routine whether or not I apply makeup. Witch hazel helps tighten pores and reduce inflammation and aloe vera hydrates skin. Free from any parabens or additives, this toner is a must for those you want to add a great product to their daily beauty routine. Available on Amazon.

MakeUp Kits by ONE DIRECTION (Review)

One Direction has definitely stepped up the in the beauty world with these ingenious makeup kits that are absolutely amazing. If you didnt know, One Direction have started their own makeup line and introduces a range of lip glosses, mascaras and nail varnishes. The cool thing about these in particular is that they glow under UV light. So imagine your lips, lashes and nails popping while in the club and those UV lights are on. It blew my mind to try these and talk about an upgrade to your make up. So lets talk about each kit individually.

The Nail Varnish -- Comes with 3 different colors and 3 glitter toppings. ROCK ME NAIL KIT featuring NEON UV-REACTIVE Nail Varnish and UV-REACTIVE GLITTER nail toppings. Sprinkle the glitter over wet polish for a subtle accent, or go for the glitz and dip your entire wet mani in mega-watt sparkle! 

3 Nail Varnish:
Happily– UV iced blue glitter 
Moments- UV neon pink 
Diana- UV 3D holographic 

3 Glitter Toppings: 
Kicks- UV snow cone blue
Not afraid- UV electrified pink glitter 
Star-- UV holo glitter 

My nails looked extra special after using those and for someone like me who loves nail polish it went on smooth and lasted over a week. 

Impressive

Next we have the mascara kit which comes with 3 colors and it is called the ELECTRO GLAM MASCARA. 

Colors:
Why don’t we go there- Shock of blue
Does he know?- Pinkest hot pink 
Story of my life- Amped canary yellow 

They can be added to either your hair using about 3 coats (on my hair cause it is dark brown) and on the tip of your lashes and of course the more you add the better it looks. Go for it. It is bold and vibrant and gives that extra spunk that is sometimes needed to feel outgoing

Last is the Lip Gloss kit with 3 different colors that will make your lips go from 0-OMG really quick. 

LIQUILIGHTS GLOW GLOSS is absolutely brilliant whether during the day or night when it illuminates under UV black light after dark. Infused with natural oils and vitamin E to keep your lips soft and hydrated all day and all night. Wear it alone or top it over your lipstick for the eccentric look.

InstaWave by KISS - {Review}

INSTAWAVE BY KISS

KISS is known for the renowned line of nail care products but have recently expanded their line into other beauty products. Today I will be reviewing the InstaWave Automatic Curler from KISS. This new curler is revolutionary and innovative in creating beautiful curls with a touch of a button.

This curler creates lasting curls without the need of a professional. This curler features a 4" curling rod, 2 settings (low & high) and goes up to the maximum of 420 degrees. Since I no longer have the hair to try this out I recruited my cousin to help. This was so easy to use when I did it for her and when she used it herself that it is almost perfect for anyone. 

I have embedded a simple demonstration video that simplifies the use of the InstaWave automatic curler. 

For me, this was a showstopper just because of its simplicity. The one button touch control, the ability to curl toward or away from your face and also how quickly the curl was created. The curler also automatically shuts off after 90 minutes so you can feel assured that your hair can be curled in under an hour (imagine waiting to be styled at the hairdresser and no longer having to go through that). The InstaWave Automatic Curler retails at $59.99 and can be found at many retailers.

Stretch Mark & Scar Cream - By InstaNatural

I want to say first and foremost, that I have used InstaNatural products in the past and they have yet to fail me. I only let you know that first because I always have high expectation for a company that delivers good products, therefore I would be looking at the product I am reviewing even more carefully.

So today I am reviewing InstaNatural's Stretch Mark & Scar Cream (Prevention and Reduction). It is sold on Amazon.com for around $24.00 for the 5 fl oz bottle. Now I thought that the price was not attractive only because normally for the size it would run around $19.99 but then again stretch mark creams are in abundance and do not work as I have tried many after having my second kid.

Now I have had over 30 days to use this product and give my evaluation. Lets start with my overall feel ------- LOVE IT!!!... It started to show results quick. I have literally waited months for a product to show me results without success. This is not true for this cream, after a week or so I saw a difference. I used it predominantly on my tummy and butt and sometimes thighs.

This cream offered me a boost of confidence when I saw that the stretch marks appearance was reducing almost to the point that I felt comfortable in a 2-pc bathing suit again (ALMOST)... To start it contains many ingredients that are helpful in minimizing appearance and moisturizing your skin. From vitamin c, cocoa butter, rosehip oil, mango butter and aloe vera, your skin becomes more youthful and healthier. I have been applying morning and night and the results have only been getting better the longer I use.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Vitamin C Facial Toner from INSTANATURAL {Review}

InstaNatural as a brand has never disappointed me and hope they do not ever because I love their products. I recently started using their Vitamin C Facial Toner and it is just great to add to my morning beauty regime. This bottle contains natural and organic ingredients to help ensure that it does not irritate your skin with harsh chemicals.

This toner contains witch hazel and tea tree oil which helps in purifying my skin. Of course in its name it has vitamin C which renews and strengthen my skin from harsh weather conditions and pollution.

I spray this toner lightly in four (4) sections of my face right after I have washed it in the morning. I allow to dry with just a little bit of dampness left and then apply my hyaluronic serum and thereafter my favorite moisturizer.

Every step after spraying this toner becomes easier because I know that my skin has been hydrated and it definitely preps my skin for whatever comes next. This further helps with absorption of my serum, keeping my face moisturized throughout the day and prevents other pollutants from clogging my pores. Some people have said that toners dry their skin but this toner helps correct oily skin and combat my combination skin for use no matter what my skin decides to do that day. This toner lasts long and does not cost much and can be purchased via Amazon.

Dr. Song RoseHip Oil {Review}

Dr. Song Organic Rosehip Oil is one of the better rosehip oils that I have tried. Rosehip oil is great for many things, such as:

• Healing scars
• Reducing appearance of wrinkles
• Strengthen brittle nails
• Heal sun damaged skin
• Improve dry damaged hair
• Helps in healing rashes and burn scars.

The first time using rosehip oil, I was turned away by the strong unpleasant scent.  I have recently learned that the smell is from the extraction from the rose bush seeds and that there are no additives. Dr Song Medical has been able (my opinion) to still remain 100% organic and USDA certified but keep the scent not as strong, so this was a plus to me.

 

You are able to feel and see that the quality is amazing especially just by looking at the color of the oil. It is also light weight and when applied it is absorbed quickly without any greasy residue. I recently got a burn scar from melted cheese (go figure) and I have been applying the rosehip oil daily and within a few days I noticed the hairs on the scar growing back and the skin was healing quick. I may not like the scent but I do appreciate when something works to improve my skin without any added chemicals. You can order on Amazon and just so you know the bottle is rather large for the product and believe it will last very long.

My KONJAC Sponge - {Review}

I do not think I have ever started a blog post like this but I LOOOVVVEEEE THIS KONJAC SPONGE!! This is not an understatement. Let us get the facts about this sponge:

• 100% Natural Sponge
• 100% Coloring & Additive Free
• 100% Biodegradable
• Naturally Sustainable

I have used Konjac sponges in the past and they were good, nothing that I could complain about but this sponge was unique. On the packaging this is what it also claims:

• Gently Exfoliates
• Cleanses Pores
• Prevents Acnes & Pimples

OK now to my experience. This sponge is so easy to use. Soak for about 1 minute to soften the sponge (do not ever use hard) and gently massage in a circular motion then rinse after use. This sponge is made from the konjac plant root and natural bamboo charcoal and contains activated carbon and minerals. I use this sponge every night as a part of my night time face routine and it makes it so easy to exfoliate and cleanse skin. The feel after use is amazing. One of the things that I love also about it is that it does not shed like the others that I have used in the past. Anytime that my face is oily, it gently removes the oils and greats a smooth and healthy finish and look. With its natural antioxidants that fight acne, I am confident that it will continue in preventing acne. 

• Cruelty Free
• Vegan

Additional information that makes me love this sponge even more. You can get it on Amazon.

INSTANATURAL - Niacinamide Moisturizer Cream {Review}

InstaNatural as a brand has always brought quality products which have yet to disappoint. Once I got to try to this Moisturizer Cream of course I expected quality and results. A brief explanation on what the benefits of using Niacinamide are. Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide has been linked to eliminating wrinkles and fine lines and used by dermatologist in the treatment of acne.

InstaNatural has combined Vitamin B3 with organic aloe vera, avocado oil, vitamin e, rosemary & hyaluronic acid within this moisturizer to help firm, hydrate your skin while treating acne, wrinkles and fine lines.

 When applying only less than a pea size should be used. This cream is lightweight and very smooth in texture. It seems to expand when smoothing into face. So this 2fl oz bottle will last a long time even after applying twice a day. After applying you will feel a difference in the feel of your face and that is because it creates a barrier on skin surface to prevent damage from pollution and sun rays. With continuous application you will see signs of smoother and plumper skin.

InstaNatural Niacinamide Moisturizer Cream can be bought on Amazon** for around $17.00..

Pure African Shea Butter {Review}

Shea Butter has gained its popularity over the years especially with pregnant women because it helps to reduce the appearance of stretch marks during and after pregnancy. It was my choice while I was pregnant with both my kids but to be honest it didn't do much. I soon found out that it was most effective in its purest form (100%). I was using products that mixed shea butter with lots of other chemicals, so therefore it was not as efficient.

Receiving 100% Pure African Shea Butter from Cleopatras Choice complimentary was definitely something to look forward to. I have a few stretch marks from my last pregnancy and thought they would "magically" disappear the same way they did in my first pregnancy. This was an opportunity to see if using shea butter in its purest form would make a difference. 

I have been using it twice a day and ensuring that I massage it into the skin in a circular motion. I honestly did not expect a difference because I am using this and expecting a change a year and a half after having my baby girl. 

My stretch marks have since started fading slowly and the skin appearance on my tummy appears less stretched out. I have since started rubbing my feet and hands at night to improve skins look in the morning. I apply more to problem areas such as the heel and ball of my feet. This shea butter is an instant moisturizer and it is long lasting. 

Another reason I love Cleopatras Choice 100% pure shea butter even more is the packaging. I have seen the shea butter being sold in the plastic container so when I received it that was what I was expecting. It comes in its hardened form in a 1 lb plastic container with a resealable lid.  For the price on Amazon (around $12) the 1 lb tub is worth every penny and more. Being that it is in its hardened form, creating natural heat by rubbing it between the palms of your hands will melt it easily for application. It will smooth on a tad bit greasy but it is absorbed quickly into the skin within the minute.

My next task is to melt it to oil form and add it to my oil mixture for my hair. If anyone has tried I would love to know what they have found. I love it for my skin and will continue using it and expecting it to be a game changer for my skin during awful winter.

Ageless by Thera Vita (Review)

Ageless by Thera Vita is truly a remarkable product. This is a Hyaluronic acid serum with aloe and lavender oil, is used as an anti aging moisturizer suitable for daily use.

It is contains vitamins C, E, D & A and also infused with aloe, witch hazel, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane derived naturally from foods like meat, seafood & fruits), jojoba oil, geranium oil & lavender oil. All of which is great to improve and enhance your natural beauty.

Lets break it down a bit:

Lavender Oil is known for its calming uses but it is also great for healing skin which has been cut, bruised or just irritated.

Jojoba Oil when used on the skin (face) controls the oil (reduces shine)

Geranium Oil is great for skin conditions like acne and helps with revitalizing skin cells for improved skin.

Aloe is my favorite in the ingredients listed in this serum. It reduces the appearance of wrinkles by increasing your skins elasticity. It is also for those with acne because it heals scars and promotes new cell growth.

With its antioxidant properties the effects of sun, smoking and pollution can be eliminated over time. Increased collagen and skin hydration for soft and beautiful skin.

It is gel based and very light on applying that you only need to use one pump or less. It is absorbed quickly into the skin and should be applied after you have cleansed and dried your face. This is perfect to use right before you apply your moisturizer and/or makeup.

Thera Vita is so positive that this product works (and has yet to prove to me otherwise cause I love how it works thus far) that they offer lifetime guarantee if you do not see results.

Australian Tea Tree Oil - {Review}

I have heard so much about Tea Tree Oil, its benefits and its uses. I have used tea tree oil only when it is used in shampoos to help with itchy scalp. I have itchy dry scalp so when the opportunity came around to try 100% pure tea tree oil I jumped at it.

Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil (Available exclusively to Amazon) was nothing short of amazing. There are lots of essential oils that have been diluted to be able to sell at a cheaper price but that only cheapens the quality of the product that you buy. This is only Tea Tree Oil, nothing else. It is free of preservatives, artificial colors, fragrance, parabens, mineral oil, chemical solvents and petroleum. This is the real deal. Now I have used pure oils such as argan oil, rosehip oil & emu oil in the past but never tea tree so I was a little lost. The company however provides you with a free ebook on the uses (along with recipes) for the oil when you buy their 4oz bottle.

It comes in a brown bottle to maintain potency and has a stopper so that only one drop at a time comes through. By the way, the scent is strong, you won't miss it. That alone told me that it was not to be played with. I read that because it was my first time using I should dilute with another carrier oil such as olive oil. My use for it was to apply to my scalp to stop the constant itching. After reading the free ebook about the uses I made my own recipe. I used a combination of essential oils, using a 8oz empty bottle that was previously sterilized I added 2oz olive oil, 2oz coconut oil, 10 drops of argan oil and 5 drops of tea tree oil with 2 drops of lavender essential oil.  Shake it up and use this combination to apply directly to your scalp.

Now there are many other uses besides itchy scalp that tea tree oil is good for (as the book will go into more detail). Besides being a topical agent for your skin, it is great for hair, first aid, household cleaning agent, aromatherapy and disinfecting agent.

Take your chance with Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil with their 110% hassle free money back guarantee within 30 days.

Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Skin Repair Serum {Review}

I have used many vitamin C serums in the past and most of them I do like because you usually cannot go wrong with adding a little vitamin c to your beauty routine.

I started using Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Skin Repair Serum for over a month now and I absolutely love it. It has become one of my favorites that I would highly recommend. It comes in a easy to apply brown bottle with a dropper. The fact that it is in the brown bottle shields the light from coming in and change the properties of the serum. The dropper applicator helps you apply as little or as much as you want. Just a note; a little goes a long way (a few drops all over). I am about 95% satisfied with this product and the 5% that is missing to make it perfect for me is that it is missing the citrus scent that I prefer. And yes I am fully aware that vitamin c can be derived from other sources than orange.

It is 98% natural and 72% organic with no alcohol, no parabens, gluten free, no GMOs, plant based and cruelty free.  I have combination skin so I definitely make an effort to look into the ingredients of what I use on my face specifically. The face texture has improved with added collagen and more elastin. I only apply once a day but it can be used twice (day and night). Because there aren't any chemicals it is safe to use on all skin types.

This serum contains antioxidants vitamin c, vitamin e & ferulic acid, and also contains Organic Aloe, Advanced Amino Complex & Organic Jojoba Oil which are all good for the skin. And I am also happy that this product is backed by Azure Naturals one year money back guarantee. With that type of backing try using for it to repair sun damage, reduce wrinkles, fade age spots and more.

Adovia Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts - {Review}

If you have been reading my blog or its your first time then I would like you to know that I am an avid user of the Adovia Mineral Skin Care from Cleopatras Choice. I am now using their Exfoliating Facial Sea Salts which when used directly is best for oily skin. I have combination skin so on some days my face can be really oily and other days can get dry enough to start peeling.

This exfoliating facial salts can be used one its own or mixed with your cleanser, facial soap or face mask. This product only has one ingredient and that is fine grain dead sea salt and that is all that is necessary. Dead sea salt has many benefits because of the minerals that it contain. These salts will be able to strip away the dead cells salts no matter your skin type. If you have dry skin mixing the salts with some olive oil will help keep face radiant and receive all the minerals.

Use once a week for a more revitalizing and healthier looking face. It is that simple.

Mineral Eye Cream from Adovia - {Review}

Adovia Mineral Skin Care is a brand I am always looking forward to trying out. I have never used any eye gels but lately i haven't been sleeping well and noticing that my under eyes are slightly puffy.

This mineral eye gel from Adovia is perfect for all skin types without the irritation. It delicate enough to be used around the eye area. It is also absorbed very quickly to keep around the eye hydrated through out the day.

The ingredients include demineralized water, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, chamomile extract, carrot oil, olive oil, and grapeseed oil among others. Because of all the dead sea minerals which also include vitamin E and aloe vera in this product, it will help reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles. These also work together to revitalize while protecting eye area from daily damage.

I use this in the morning after cleansing my face and wear it under my moisturizer to get rid of dark circles and puffiness. It has definitely returned definition to my eye area without the lines. The cream is rich yet light with quick absorption and only a very small amount is needed during application. It is also unscented.

InstaNatural - Argan, Jojoba, Coconut Oil Hair Treatment {Review}

With all the hair products that are out there you just never know what is good and what actually works. I am a strong user of oils and the pure form the better for me to try out. I feel more confident knowing and understanding the ingredients that go into my hair. I am now in the midst of trying InstaNatural Argan Oil Hair Treatment & Elixir

The ingredients are simple:
- Organic Argan Oil
- Organic Sunflower Oil
- Coconut Oil
- Organic Jojoba Oil
- Vitamin  B5
- Olive Oil
- Grapeseed Oil
- Shea Butter
Thats it. Nothing more.

This treatment is a leave in and restorer, a heat protector and restores shine. I use it every time I want to give my hair full treatment (every shampoo). I use it mainly overnight and wash/rinse out in the morning. It states can be used within 10 minutes off application and use as much as needed but remember a little goes a long way.

The more subtle results are immediate. Your hair is softer, more manageable and shine restored after the first overnight treatment. After application (if using as a leave in conditioner) it will feel like it has a protective barrier over each and every strand, which makes perfect when using your blow dryer and/or flat iron. Vitamin B5 from pathenol strengthens and of course shea butter to thicken and create volume. This does not have a scent but the benefits out weigh the need for something sweet smelling. Overall this product has delivered tremendously as a strengthener and restoring shine. Slowly I am noticing that my hair has more volume and seeing less damage from the heat. InstaNatural brings quality products that never fail its test so they offer it risk free on Amazon for $19.95.

ADOVIA - Dead Sea Salt Soap {Review}

Introducing Adovia Dead Sea Salt Soap which can be used on face and body. Made from all natural ingredients of palm kernel oil, dead sea salts, magnesium, sodium, potassium, demineralized water and natural extract this is the best bar soap that I have ever used for both my face and body. I usually separate the two because regular bar soap dries out skin very quickly and my face is extremely sensitive and this will cause me to break out.

This soap not only cleanses but also continues to keep skin hydrated and moisturized immediately after use. Because of its natural ingredients this soap is recommended for all skin types. Upon opening the box to try this soap (mind you I was skeptikal about using a bar soap on my face), it looked raw and although it was smooth to touch it still didn't look like a regular bar of soap. The smell was invigorating and it captured my attention as soon as I started washing my face. This soap does not lather much so do not expect it to. Too much lather strips skin from moisture whereas this soap infuses your face with moisture and hydration. The process is rather simple to use, wet face/body, wet soap, apply to face and rinse. Your face/body feels soft and smooth to touch. When rinsing the soap off your face/body it does not leave a oily or sticky residue behind which most soaps do.

With all the benefits the dead sea has to offer and the fact that there are no additional chemicals, it is a go to product for beneficial daily. It is sold on Amazon for $18.00 and although it is pricey for a soap, it does not lather much so it will last long. I love using natural products and believe that they are better for you; this soap has proven that even with combination skin you can get a good cleanse that does not dry out your skin.
