The Skincare Line That Will Change Your Life!

May 7, 2017

Over the 8 years that I’ve blogged here I have tried many skincare lines. So I was hesitant to even try another because they were all the same, or were they?

When I heard EVER Skincare, I was reading the testimonials about improved stretch marks, dark under-eye circles, hyperpigmentation and so much more. It wasn’t until I saw the before and after photos that I jumped on the EVER bandwagon. EVER Skincare provides clinically proven products that target visible signs of aging, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and dark spots.

Here are a few impressive before and after photos:

Review: Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray

October 5, 2015

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Jane Iredale introduces this limited edition hydration spray Jane Iredale Smell the Roses Hydration Spray. This spray was developed exclusively for Living Beyond Breast Cancer, which receives 100% of profits from sales. <–Love that!

This facial spray contains organic Rose Damascena Flower Water which is an excellent skin tonic. The spray cleanses the skin without disturbing its natural protective shield. The advertised benefits are:

Rose Damascena Flower Oil and Extracts penetrate into deep layers of the skin. They nourish, tighten, cleanse, detoxify, increase blood circulation, calm and support the skin’s functions.
Recommended for any skin type, especially dry and sensitive skin. Calms and soothes skin while reducing redness.
Rose fragrance is refreshing and uplifting. It de-stresses and provides an overall feeling of well-being.

I received this press sample a few weeks ago and I’ve been using it ever since. The spray has a light, not overpowering rose fragrance. For me the spray is wonderful to use in the morning, it helps to wake me up. It’s so light when applied and it dried without leaving any sticky residue. In general I used it after washing me face without needing any additional moisturizer but if you have dry skin you may want to still use a moisturizer as this is lightly hydrating. I have oily skin so I found this spray quite balancing all by itself. Sometimes I sprayed it on throughout the day as a pick me up because the scent is uplifting, especially when you’re feeling exhausted. I can see myself traveling with this spray, especially when flying to feel more wake when I’m jetlagged.

I absolutely love that Jane Iredale is cruelty free, it make me feel better that using a product that is not tested on animals. And the fact that this company uses natural and organic ingredients in also a huge plus. Below you can see recognize every ingredient in this spray which makes me feel safer about using it.

Ingredients: Aqua/Water/Eau, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder*, Rosa Damascena Flower Water*, Raphanus Sativus (Radish) Root Extract, Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract*, Rosa Canina (Rosehips) Fruit Extract*, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil*, Glycerin**, Camellia Sinensis (White Tea) Leaf Extract*, Calendula, Officinalis (Calendula) Flower Extract*, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract*, Alcohol** *INGREDIENT FROM ORGANIC FARMING ** MADE USING ORGANIC INGREDIENTS

Review: Aeveka Naturally Pure Skincare

August 26, 2014

I recently tried several products from the Aeveka Naturally Pure Skincare line including the Refreshing Citrus Cleanser, Regenerating Night Crème and Replenishing Co-Q10 Eye Crème. This is an all natural skin care line which means that it’s made with non-toxic and organic ingredients found in nature. It’s also cruelty free and vegan which is a major plus for me!

If you’ve read some of my past posts you already know that I prefer natural beauty products because I believe that they are safer for our health. Our skin absorbs everything that we put on it so it just makes sense to use the healthiest products made with non-toxic ingredients. Makes sense, right?!

I’ve been using the Refreshing Citrus Cleanser for over six weeks now and it’s very gentle. It’s made with a fruit base and turbinado sugar as well as organic jojoba oil, which has natural anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The cleanser did a great job of gently removing the excess facial oil without leaving my skin dry. After cleansing my face, my skin felt balanced enough to go without a moisturizer -but I would never do that!

The Regenerating Night Crème contains Co-Q10 to help reduce the signs of aging along with a superfruit blend and an antioxidant tea blend. The creme has a lightweight consistency and was more like a lotion. It felt very luxurious on the skin and I used it during the day as well (just sparingly). The night creme should be used sparingly because a little goes a long way.

The Replenishing Co-Q10 Eye Crème is quite refreshing. I put my jar in the refrigerator to keep it chilled for a morning pick-me-up and it certainly did the trick. This creme has lots of beneficial ingredients like micro algae which produces oxygen and promotes full skin rejuvenation. The eye creme is great if you have fine lines because after using it they seem to fade away and the skin appears much more plump and fuller. I loved how the creme absorbed so quickly and how it felt great under my eyes.

Overall I was impressed with all of the products, they were gentle and felt great on my skin. This brand is a great option if you have sensitive skin because it’s non-irritating. and lightweight.

Review: Burt’s Bees Extra Energizing Citrus and Ginger Root Body Wash

June 4, 2013

Bath time just got better thanks to this addition into my cleansing regime. I’ve always enjoyed Burt’s Bees products, even if it is on a slightly pricier side. This brand is very well-known for using all natural ingredients and I cant help but feel guilt free and indulgent when I buy and use Burt’s Bees. And a plus on the brand is its cruelty free and materials are ethically traded.

The smell is unbelievable. It is very reminiscent of the citrus Popsicle I use to eat as a child, and it smells quite sweet and almost drinkable (obviously I did not go that far). The ginger smell is rather subtle but the sensation of ginger does take effect when contact on skin. I felt a slight cooling on the skin once I’ve lathered this product all over my body and as a result, it delivered what it promised; I felt really energized post shower. I also managed to surround the bathroom with this scent that my mother decided to use it after me. For some reason, it also softened my skin and it felt smooth for hours after my shower, so I did not need to add any moisturizer on my skin. Added bonus was I did not need coffee because it really woke me up.

So five stars for this product and I say go out and get yourself some!

Review: Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Day Lotion

May 10, 2013

Lately my skin has been super dry which is the opposite of how my skin usually is. I’ve always had oily skin so facial dryness is something totally new to me. Perhaps its the change in the weather but more likely its the testing of multiple facial products. My skin is tired and needs a break.

So I turned to Burt’s Bees Intense Hydration Day Lotion ($18) with Clary Sage. I needed to switch my day moisturizer to something a little richer to help combat this dryness. This day lotion is a bit thicker than I’m used to but then again its made for dry skin.

The lotion absorbs fairly quickly and did not leave my skin with a greasy feeling -which I was a bit worried about. The lotion has a light fragrance that dissipated within a half hour or so but I wish that it didn’t have any fragrance at all. I find fragrance to be a unnecessary additive that many cosmetics brands use, and you never know what exactly the “fragrance” is that they’re adding.

On the bright side, as always, Burt’s Bees is cruelty free and the lotion did what I needed it to do which was sooth my dehydrated skin. This moisturizer is also noncomedogenic, which is a huge plus because I occasionally get breakouts and I don’t need my skin care products to further aggravate my already sensitive skin. This lotion contains clary sage which is said to be helpful in treating acne, oily skin and wrinkles; only time will tell if there is enough in the lotion to make a noticeable difference. But overall I really liked the lotion, it left my skin feeling soft, hydrated and smooth – which is all that I can ask for.
