Konjac Sponge by La Lune Naturals Review + Giveaway

*Konjac Sponge by La Lune Naturals

Have you had a chance to get your hands on a Konjac Sponge yet?  These sponges are the "it" thing in skincare right now and rightly so!  Luckily, I have been able to try out several different kinds over the last few months.  Most recently I have been using the 100% Pure Konjac Sponge that La Lune Naturals sent me to review for them.  These sponges are amazing, the konjac fibers massage away impurities and toxins and gently exfoliate & remove dead skin cells to reveal soft, smoother skin that looks more radiant.  After just a few uses I noticed a difference in my skin and it has really helped keep those nasty blackheads and other face demons at bay!
The great thing about the La Lune Naturals sponges is that you get a 2 pack for only $12.99 via Amazon and usually you have to pay about $10.00 per sponge so it's a great savings.  Each sponge should last anywhere from 2-4 months and is made from the sustainable konjac plant, is free of chemicals, parabens, sulphates and is biodegradable.  Plus, the Konjac Sponge by La Lune Naturals is cruelty-free and vegan!
Have you tried a Konjac Sponge yet?  Well, now is your chance!  La Lune Naturals has generously offered to give away a 2-Pack of 100% Pure Konjac Sponges to one of my lucky readers!  Giveaway starts 02/16/15 @ 11 a.m. PST and ends 02/23/15 @ 11 a.m. PST.  Good Luck!

Lemon Essential Oil by Skinology Beauty Solutions-Review

*Lemon Essential Oil by Skinology Beauty Solutions

The possibilities are endless with this Lemon Essential Oil that Skinology Beauty Solutions sent me to review for them!  I have been using this Lemon Essential Oil for so many things lately I actually gone through half of the huge 4 oz. size bottle!  I have made my own cleaning supplies, made my own Essential Oil Roller Ball Scents and even Air Fresheners.  However, my favorite way that I have been using it is just adding a few drops of it in my water throughout the day.  It's the perfect way to get a little energy boost, metabolism boost (especially first thing in the morning) and get some antioxidants all at the same time.

The scent is strong and pure just like you would expect it to be and a little goes a really long way so this 4 oz. size bottle will last a really long time.  Unless of course your like me and like it so much that you start using it for everything!  However, this Lemon Essential Oil by Skinology Beauty Solutions is at a really great price of only $14.45 for the 4oz. bottle!

Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals-Review

*Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals

I think everyone who has even a little interest in skincare should keep some of this Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals on hand.  I was sent this a few weeks ago by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals to review for them and I've had fun making up my own mask recipes & detox baths.  Since it's great for all skin types one of the benefits about having a jar of this on hand is that you can make up your own mask recipes based on whatever skin issue you are dealing with at the moment.

The Indian Healing Clay contains Sodium Bentonite Clay that has a electromagnetic properties making it very absorbent and helpful for drawing out Metals and Toxins.  That's why it's so great at clearing and detoxifying the skin!  Not only can you use it to clear up skin issues like acne or other blemishes but it can also be used to heal and sooth cuts, insect bites and even bee stings.  I also love to add a little of the Indian Healing Clay to my bath water to help draw out toxins.
Indian Healing Clay will leave your skin clear, tightened and toned, soft and smooth and will even help shrink the appearance of pores!  Below is my favorite detox mask that I promise will give you instant results!

 Indian Healing Clay Detox Mask

1 teaspoon Indian Healing Clay 

1 teaspoon organic apple cider vinegar

Mix ingredients in a small bowl, apply to face (you can also apply to neck & decollete), leave on until dry then rinse off with warm water.  If you would like a thicker mask just double the ingredients and leave on longer.  You can also replace the organic apple cider vinegar with a few drops of Tea Tree Oil.

Yalmeh Foundation Brush-Review

*Yalmeh Foundation Brush

I was so trying to do a YouTube tutorial for this Foundation Brush that Yalmeh sent me to review but I just ran out of time!  The reason why I wanted to do the tutorial is so you could see how amazing this brush is and how well it works with both wet & dry foundation.  It's the perfect addition to my growing brush collection and I have been loving it!  The quality of the brush helps create a flawless finish for your foundation but it also works amazingly well as a bronzer brush!

The brush is made with top grade synthetic fibers for longevity and the quality of the fibers helps prevent shedding, it's also Hypoallergenic, Cruelty Free and Vegan friendly!  It's also super easy to clean.  I personally use baby shampoo to clean my brushes and it works perfectly on the fibers in this brush and they easily come clean.

One of the really great things about the Yalmeh Foundation Brush is the price!  We all know how expensive nice makeup brushes can be, especially a good quality foundation brush and at only $11.95 this brush is a total steal!

I feel so lucky because I have been able to try some really amazing products from Yalmeh,  Go to Yalmeh.com for more information on this Foundation Brush and all the their other amazing products.  You can also purchase by clicking on the link below...

*Vitamin C Serum by OZ Radiance

Unless you have been living under a rock then you already know all about Vitamin C Serum and the awesome things that it can do for your skin.  The most recent Vitamin C Serum that I have been testing out is this one that OZ Radiance sent to me.

This serum is made with really impressive ingredients like Organic Aloe, 20 %Vitamin C, Witch Hazel, Amino Complex and Organic Jojoba Oil.  It's really lightweight so it absorbs really quickly and your skin feels instantly hydrated.  It will not clog or irritate pores and it doesn't contain any parabens or alcohol so it's safe for all skin types.
I use Vitamin C Serum in both my morning & evening skincare routines and I just don't use on my face.  I also use the serum around my eyes, down my neck, decollete and on my shoulders.  I love this stuff and everything it does for my skin!  Using the Vitamin C Serum twice a day ensures a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, diminished hyperpigmentation and sun damage leaving your skin more even toned, smooth and radiant!

A really great thing about the OZ Radiance Vitamin C Serum is that it comes it a large 2oz. bottle which makes it a fraction of the cost of other Vitamin C Serums at only $16.75!  They also offer a manufacturer's lifetime money back guarantee, no matter when or where you purchase this product, simply contact them at any time for a 100% refund if you are not completely satisfied with the results!  So there you have it, nothing to loose and you gain beautiful skin!  You can order your Vitamin C Serum on Amazon.com or by clicking the link below...

Hair, Skin & Nails Vitamins by Evergreen Nature-Review

*Hair Skin & Nails Vitamins by Evergreen Nature

OMG, I am so impressed with these Hair Skin & Nails Vitamins that Evergreen Nature sent me to review for them!  You've probably all heard about all the benefits of Biotin for your hair, skin and nails and I'm here to tell you it's all true.  Since I started taking these vitamins several weeks ago my nails are longer and my hair has even seemed to grow faster than it usually does. I can't really say if I noticed a difference in my skin simply because I use a ton of skincare products but I would say if it works that well for nails and hair I am sure it has great skin benefits as well.

These Hair Skin & Nails Vitamins have some additional ingredients besides the 3000 mcg of Biotin that helps promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.  They also contain antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and Vitamin E that help fight free radical damage to your skin and several essential B vitamins that help with healthy nails.

These vitamins will not disappoint when you take as directed and on a regular basis!  Go to Evergreennature.com for more information and you can order them from Amazon.com or by clicking on the link below...

*Clarigenics Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I was recently sent this Hyaluronic Acid Serum to review for Clarigenics along with their Vitamin C Serum, you can read that review as well.  Not only was I impressed with their Vitamin C Serum but their Hyaluronic Acid Serum did not disappoint either!  Seriously great stuff!

Hyaluronic Acid is a powerful moisturizer that can also helps make skin smooth, soft and even more radiant.  The Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Clarigenics is 98% Natural and 72% Organic, a hypoallergenic blend of rejuvenating ingredients.  The serum helps reduce the look of fine lines and deep wrinkles, locks in moisture, helps reverse sun damage, repairs cellular damage, helps fight blemishes and also helps heal and soothe stressed skin!

The serum is really lightweight and absorbs into the skin almost instantly leaving it hydrated, soft and smooth.  I love using Hyaluronic Acid Serum in both my morning and evening skincare routines because it's one of those products that is what I like to call a "multi-tasker" and nothing beats a product that is a "multi-tasker" and can help combat a long list of skin issues.

Infinite Joy by Reduxa, Inc.-Review

*Infinite Joy by Reduxa, Inc.

Hot or cold, I love tea of all kinds and I always look forward to trying new flavors or tea remedies.  Reduxa, Inc. recently sent me their Infinite Joy with Ginseng Tea to review for them and lately it has been my "go to" tea.  

The Infinite Joy tea is actually an herbal supplement tea that contains a combination of 21 herbal ingredients that help boost the metabolic rate, increase the action of digestive enzymes, which in turn helps to burn more calories, helps calm your nerves, relieves stress and helps to curb food cravings.

I love having a cup first thing in the morning and then another one mid-afternoon.  It has really helped with what I like to call "boredom cravings", the kind of cravings you get when you your not actually hungry, just bored.  I get those cravings all the time, it's really annoying so I love that Infinite Joy has helped get rid of those!

Not only does this tea help with cravings it is also a great detox tea!  The Infinite Joy also contains a good source of vitamins B1, B2, C, E, niacin and K.  It also provides minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus.  It's a natural diuretic which helps eliminate toxins from the system and promote cleansing.

If you like herbal teas that will also help you slim down and detox then I recommend you try the Infinite Joy by Reduxa, Inc.  You can order it on Amazon.com or by clicking on the link below...

Rimini 1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer by XTAVA-Review

*Rimini 1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer by XTAVA

I don't know about you but I usually use my hair care tools until they die, which, if I am lucky, is at lease a few years.  I've had been needing a new hair dryer for awhile and I have actually been using my travel hair dryer for the last year.  So, I was beyond excited to try out the Rimini 1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer that XTAVA sent me!

Can a hair dryer be life changing?  I had know idea how much a Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic could change the look and feel of my hair.  Usually after I dry my hair it ends up being a frizzy, puffy mess.  With the XTAVA Rimini 1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer my hair ends up being soft and smooth.  If you have never experienced a Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer then you need to get your hands on one ASAP and I cannot recommend this one by XTAVA enough!

Go to Xtava.com for more information on this hair dryer and make sure to check out their other beauty & hair care tools, I have also been testing out their Professional Infrared Flat Iron With Tourmaline Ceramic Plates and it's amazing as well!  You can also purchase the Rimini 1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer by XTAVA on Amazon.com or by clicking on the link below...

Vitamin C Serum by Clarigenics-Review

*Vitamin C Serum by Clarigenics

Are you ready for a review of another awesome Vitamin C Serum?  I was sent this one by Clarigenics to review for them and it has really helped with my on-going battle with Melasma and that makes me really happy!
I have been using the Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum as part of my a.m. skincare routine and applying it on my face, around my eyes, neck, decollete and shoulders, it's a very lightweight formula so it's fast-absorbing.  I love that is has really helped fade the lingering Melasma on my face, neck and decollete.  Unfortunately, if you have Melasma like I do then you know it's almost impossible to get rid of completely since it's triggered by the sun and even though I wear sunscreen everyday I am not reapplying it throughout the day so it's inevitable that I will get more.  So, like I said, it's an on-going battle but I am able to keep it in check with great products like this Vitamin C Serum.  I highly recommend Vitamin C Serum if you are dealing with any kind of hyperpigmentation issues, it's a miracle in a bottle and I prefer it to hydroquinone, which is another popular pigmentation fading product.  Plus, with a Vitamin C Serum you get all the other added benefits like, reduced fine lines & wrinkles, hydration and smoother skin!
If you would like more information on Melasma you can read about it, here.

The Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum is made with potent, natural botanical active ingredients, paraben free, and there is no dioxanes, phthalates, or other toxic ingredients, and they make their products in the USA in our FDA and GMP certified facility.  They also love animals, so of course they are cruelty free!

Clarigenics also has a full 365 day guarantee.  If any time within a year of purchase you are not completely satisfied with their skincare solutions, they will fully refund your purchase, no questions asked!  Go to Clarigenics.com for more information and you can purchase the Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum on Amazon.com.

Glow 2 Go by Thermalabs-Review + Giveaway

*Glow 2 Go by Thermalabs

I am super excited I get to do a Giveaway for these Glow 2 Go Self-Tanning Towelettes that Thermalabs sent me to review for them.  I don't know about you but I have been trying to be better about using sunscreen and of course that means staying out of the sun for extended periods of time and also no tanning beds for me.  (It's winter here where I live so there's exactly zero chance I would be out sunbathing!)

I've tested out a few self-tanning products over the last few years some good and some bad.  Most of them are messy and smelly and I usually end up with a a somewhat uneven look, not at all the look I go for!  So, needless to say I was a bit skeptical about these Self-Tanning Towelettes.  I have never tried a Self-Tanning Towelette before and I will admit I just didn't think they would work as well as a lotion or gel.  Boy, was I wrong!  I can't say how these compare to other Self-Tanning Towelettes but they are way better than any lotion or gel that I have tried. They are super easy to use, there is no mess and none of that self-tanning smell!  All you do is wipe the pre-moistened towelette over the area(s) you want to tan and Voila!, within 4 hours you have a nice, even, streak free, natural looking tan!  The tan lasts me about 3-4 days with regular showering before I have to re-apply, which I think is really good longevity for a self-tanner.  I highly recommend these for anyone who likes to self-tan or if you have been wanting to try self-tanning, these wipes are fool proof!

Go to Thermalabs.com for more detailed information or to purchase the Glow 2 Go towelettes and their other self-tanning products!  You can also purchase on Amazon.com or click on the link below...

 

Make sure you enter the Giveaway below to win a FREE box of 20 individually wrapped premium towelettes which are perfect for sunless tanning at home or on the go! Giveaway Starts 02/05/15 @ 7:00 a.m. PST and ends 02/08/15 @ 4:00 p.m. PST, open to US Residents only.
