InstaNatural - Argan Oil Hair Mask - {Review}

InstaNatural always have delivered quality products that I have tried and expected no less from this Argan Oil Hair Mask. Argan Oil has now been deemed the secret to achieving the best hair as research proves its properties very successful. For me, growing up I had not heard about argan oil but knew of the benefits that coconut oil has when applied to the hair and ofcourse skin. InstaNatural has been able to derive a hair mask that has many key ingredients to help in treating and improving your hair.

Key Ingredients:
Argan Oil
Amino Acid Complex
Coconut Oil
Shea Butter
Vitamin B5

All these ingredients when used together can treat and transform damaged hair and turn it into healthy strands.

This argan oil hair mask is smooth for easy application and has a pleasant scent from all the organic & natural ingredients. This mask is mainly used as a deep conditioner once or twice weekly for 5 - 15 minutes to be able to achieve best results.  It can also be used daily as your standard conditioner to help protect against heat damage and external agitators.

I expected high standards from this InstaNatural argan oil hair mask and received that. Immediately after use, your hair feels soft, looks shinier and with lots of life. Definitely a new beauty product that I would recommend.

Almost Perfect - E-Book Review

Mystery, Light Thriller, Suspense
362 pages
Author: Orly Krauss-Winer

I have never been really big on thriller books, I mainly read romance novels with a little bit of not of this world experiences. I took a while before I started the book because after reading the prelude it did not pull me in as much as I would like. But once I started I was glued to my subway sit for every ride, twice almost missing my stops.

The book introduces you to 3 women (Alona, Tamar & Nilli) that are best friends who work as lawyers at a prestige law firm. In comes Lior, an attractive, people pleaser who "looks" like he is absolutely perfect. Alona, who is married falls deep in love with him but was not willing to leave her husband/family for him. He moves on to Tamar who now believes that he can not do any wrong in her eyes. But before they are able to create their perfect union, he is murdered. Oh the agony you may think. This is where I believe the title "Almost Perfect" draws you in. This novel brings in so many characters that are all intertwined and deceived by the ones they love.

As the story unravels, the victim or victims may just be turning out to be the suspects or so we think. The author (Orly Krauss-Winer) invites you into their lives and while reading you feel like you are there, riding along every event whether it is in the now or in the past. The story then comes to life so amazingly when you think you have solved the mystery it takes a nose drive, and have you questioning the why, who and when. I give this book two thumbs up from beginning to end and it will keep you entertained and in suspense.

SKIN QR: NuElle - Triple Action Anti Cellulite Firming Concentrate

This organic cellulite firming lotion is the first I have tried in its kind. Being that I am a small girl I do have cellulite in my thigh and butt area and for no one no matter size would attest to liking this. This 5oz bottle of NuElle Triple Action Anti Cellulite Firming Concentrate was used as my lotion day and night to make sure I can receive maximum results. Just by looking at the ingredients, there are so many great oils that are ofcourse amazing for your skin, such as:

• Aloe
• Sunflower Oil
• Coconut Oil
• Geranium essential Oil
• Rosehip Oil
• Evening Primrose Oil

There are many other oils and ingredients that were interesting because I have never really noticed them in lotions. Some examples are caffeine, ginkgo biloba, kelp, cinnamon and cayenne. After reading some more, it did say that it has a diuretic effect and it works both on the surface and in depth. It contains 25 flub busters and caffeine being one that assist in weight loss and cellulite reduction. 

Once I started using it, I first noticed the scent which was pleasant and reminded me of wintergreen mixed with lemon grass. Very intriguing. The texture was a bit lighter than other regular lotions which did not make it greasy but very absorbent. It has not replaced my moisturizing lotion but I have opted to use it solely on certain areas such as my thighs, butt and stomach. I have seen very minimal changes along my thigh area and these changes are for the better. My thigh area is smoother in the feel and slightly looks less uneven. I think with continuous use there may be even more improvemnt. It is sold on their website and on amazon.

EXFOLIMATE - A New Way To Exfoliate Your Skin

I have used several products to help maintain my skin but never have I tried a tool designed for exfoliation. It was pretty intriguing to see how it works and if it actually do work. It comes in a box with 2 tools one for the face or small areas and one for the body or larger areas along with the easy steps pamphlet and straps for easy holding. Upon looking at this tool, it is rather simple in shape and technique. The triangular shape makes it easier to get into crevices and to hold on to. It has a metal edge that feels smooth but has micro laser grooves to be able to push out every all dirt and oil particles.

These can be used daily to cleanse, refresh and revive your skin. It makes a huge difference without the added need for chemicals. You actually feel and see the dirt being lifted off your face. After using any cleanser, I passed the exfolimate over my face and then looked at it to see the extra dirt and oil it picked up. Just by adding this to your routine (about a minute per day) there can be significant improvement in texture, tone, reduction in pore size plus improved skin absorption.

You can see a full video at www.exfolimate.com. It is safe for all skin types and also improves blood circulation.

Definitely a thumbs up in innovation to better skin.

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..

Moisturizing Day Cream by ADOVIA {Review}

Adovia Mineral Skin Care by Cleopatra's Choice has a Moisturizing Day Cream that has yet to disappoint me.

This daily moisturizer is filled with many benefits.  It can be used on all skin types and with my combination skin I never know if my face is going to be really dry or really oily. I wash/cleanse my face as usual every morning and apply this day cream. I use very little because its texture is pretty thick yet it smooths on really easily. I love how it feels after I have applied it and instantly can see the difference in how my skin looks. Although the texture of this cream is thick, it is not greasy and won't give you that oily look if you are wearing it alone. It also makes an excellent make up base which allows for a smoother finish. It keeps my face hydrated, smoother looking and feeling and I almost always wear it alone (not a huge fan of make up). Besides the instant gratification, this moisturizer has some of the best ingredients provided by nature.

To point out a few that I do appreciate are:

- Grape seed oil
- Chamomile extract
- Algae extract
- Papaya
- Aloe Vera
- Dead sea salt & minerals

Combined, these ingredients provide your face with the hydration it needs without clogging pores, all day moisture, and more calmer soothing the skin. Continued use of this moisturizer would help your skin regain control of its ability to retain moisture creating a natural continuous glow throughout the day.

This 1.7 fl. oz. jar sells for about $25.00 on Amazon*

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.

Thera Vita Paradise Pure Organic Extra Virgin COCONUT OIL {Review}

When I was growing up (in the Caribbean) I knew lots about coconut oil yet I knew so little. My mom used to put it in my hair to help it grow and remain soft. As much as I knew this I never cared to learn how to make it or what made it so useful that everyone used it (I was a kid and did not care). As an adult I have become very curious with what oils do when it is in its purest form.

Coconut oil has been one of the oldest used oils that have many great benefits. When substituted in cooking it can assist in weight loss, increased energy and eating less. Applying directly to skin and hair can help to moisturize skin and reverse damaged hair. 

Thera Vita introduces Paradise Pure Organic Extra Virgin Oil. It is cholesterol free, BPA free, non-GMO, non bleached and USDA certified. It comes in a plastic jar for easy storing and screw on lid for easier access. My use for it was for my skin and damage since I am on a natural path this coconut oil would help tremendously. For the times that I need to apply it directly to my scalp, I would pour it into a applicator bottle mixed with a bit of olive oil and argan oil. When being used as a sealer, I would moisturize my hair and then pour a little in the palm of hands and rub it through my entire hair to seal. 

The best thing about Paradise Coconut Oil is that it contains no sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, alcohol, flavoring or preservatives which ensures its purity. This makes it suitable for vegetarians and/or vegans and persons with allergies. Can also be used in low carbohydrate diets, paleo and diabetic diets. 

My only set back on this product is the scent, it basically has none. I grew up on a certain smell that makes me recognize coconut oil and it does not have that smell so I was disappointed. Overall it is recommended for those looking to change their diets, improve their skin and reverse damage to hair.

You can buy on Amazon* for $19.95

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.

Find it on Amazon for only $19.95
