Must Have Monday-Lierac Micellar Cleansing Water


I have been wanting to try out the Lierac Micellar Cleansing Water for awhile now.  It has received great reviews among other bloggers and I have never tried a Cleansing Water before so I decided I just had to have it!  I've saved up enough Birchbox points to basically get it for free so I went ahead and ordered it and I can't wait to try it out for myself!
The Lierac Micellar Cleansing Water is alcohol-free, no-rinse cleansing water that helps to easily remove makeup, dirt, and other impurities for a fresh, soft complexion.  You can either use the cleansing water by itself to remove makeup & clean your face or you can use it just as a make-up remover and follow it up with your regular skincare routine.
If you are not familiar with Birchbox it's a monthly beauty box subscription for only $10.00 where you get a variety of 5 beauty/skincare samples and sometimes even full size items.  After you have tried & tested the products you can do a review on them and earn 10 Birchbox points per reviewed item.  You can also earn 1 reward point for every dollar spent in their on-line store.  One you accumulate 100 Birchbox points they will give you $10.00 to spend in their on-line store.  The points add up pretty fast and it's a great way to purchase the full-size version of the products you tried and loved.

Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit-Review



I have used Teeth Whitening products from my dentist and while they have worked they have also been quite expensive.  Dr. Song sent me not only their Professional Teeth Whitening Kit but their Dr Song Remineralization Gel to review as well and I have had great results with both products and for a fraction of the cost of products that you would get from your dentist. 
The Dr Song Remineralization Gel is recommended to use with teeth whitening products to desensitize teeth during treatment.  It helps reduce teeth sensitivity during teeth whitening, restore minerals, and even helps strengthen enamel.  I definitely noticed great results with the Remineralization Gel, my teeth have a lot less sensitivity.
I have used the Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening after just 4 treatments I noticed that my teeth were already beginning to look a lot more white.  I plan on posting a before & after pics once I have completed the treatment process so be sure to stay tuned!  The Teeth Whitening Gel is pretty strong at 44% so it's important that it doesn't get on your gums or it will cause irritation.
Both kits come with everything you need to have teeth that are more white, a lot stronger and a lot less sensitive!


Go to DrSongMedical.com for more information on both the Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit and the Dr Song Remineralization Gel Kit.  You can also order both at Amazon.com.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com.  Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Not only does this cream help visibly reduce the appearance of existing marks and scars & stretch marks but it makes your skin feel so amazingly soft and supple.  The Stretch Marks & Scars Defense Cream that Body Merry sent me to review is super thick and luxurious and made with premium natural and organic ingredients like Organic Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Vitamins E + C + B3 + B5, Sunflower Seed Oil, Plant Stem Cells, Organic Hemp Seed Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Grapeseed Oil, Organic Gotu Kala, Algae Extract and Japanese Green Tea Leaf Extract...just to name a few.  This cream will heal, hydrate and nourish even the driest and most damaged skin and it seeps deep into your skin and will stay locked in.  Plus, with regular use this amazing cream will also effectively prevent the formation of marks and scars & stretch marks.

100% Pure Organic Argan Oil by Foxbrim-Review



Argan Oil is not called "liquid gold" just because of the soft golden color of the oil, it's also because this all natural oil has so many hair & skincare benefits.  This Argan Oil that Foxbrim sent me to test out for them is a really great choice if you are in the market for an Argan Oil!  
One of my favorite uses for Agan Oil is using it as a hair treatment on the ends of my hair right after I get out of the shower, it tames my frizzies and leaves my hair feeling soft & silky.  Even though I have very oily skin I also like to use it on my face at night and in the morning I wake up with glowing, hydrated skin.  Since it has anti-inflammatory properties in the oil it also helps heal any skin issues, like blemishes and helps reduce any redness.  It also makes a perfect after shower/bath moisturizer.  I apply it all over my body while my skin is still a little damp and it just soaks into my skin and all I am left with is super soft, supple skin!
  

There are a lot of Argan Oil's out there right now and I have tried several of them, all at varied price ranges and this one from Foxbrim makes a great choice not only because it's made with Certified Organic Argan Oil, NO additives parabens, silicones fillers or fragrances but because at $14.95 for 2 ounces it's also at a really great price!
Go to Foxbrim.com for more information on their 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil and some of their other great products.  You can also purchase it directly from Amazon.com.

Revitalize Eye Serum With Sea Kelp by Petunia Skincare-Review.



I have to tell you that I am kind of obsessed with eye creams.  I am constantly trying out new ones all the time but that means I have a really good idea of what works and what doesn't.  I also have a few favorites and one that has made it to my favorites list is the Revitalize Eye Serum that Petunia Skincare sent me to review for my blog. (Also, check out this blog post I did for the MUST HAVE skincare tool that I use everyday that is also from Petunia Skincare)  
The consistency of the serum if fairly thick so a little goes a long way and once applied to the skin the serum just melts in and is easily absorbed.  The Revitalize Eye Serum leaves your skin feeling refreshed, hydrated, helps get rid of those nasty dark circles and it also really helps get rid of any puffiness you might have. (Tip: put in the refrigerator for an even more refreshed feeling that helps you feel more awake!) 


The Revitalize Eye Serum by Petunia Skincare is infused with powerful and proven antioxidants, such as Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Alpha Bisabolol, Vitamin C + B3 and Caffeine, specifically targeted to reduce dark circles under the eyes and treat puffy and swollen eyes.  It also has the following ingredients proven to hydrate, repair and firm the skin: Sea Kelp, Sodium PCA, Vitamin C, Matrixyl 3000, Hyaluronic Acid, Pomegranate Extract and Ferulic Acid.
Another thing I love about Petunia Skincare is that they use the best, natural and organic ingredients and they are also 100% CRUELTY FREE!  They only use vegan, and cruelty-free formulations containing natural/organic active ingredients.  No parabens, no sulfates, no gluten, no alcohol, no phthalates, and absolutely no animal testing. Also, it's made in the good ol' USA!
Go to PetuniaSkincare.com for more information on the Revitalize Eye Serum and make sure you take a look at all of their other products while your there!
You can also purchase on Amazon.com and when you place your order they will also send you this (see pic below) FREE E-book too!

Svelte PRO Organic Anti-Cellulite Treatment by Sweetsation-Review


*Svelte PRO Organic Anti-Cellulite Treatment by Sweetsation

I think it's pretty safe to say the no one likes cellulite!  Unfortunately, most of us have it but thankfully there are products like this one from Sweetsation that really do help diminish the appearance of it.
What is cellulite?  Cellulite is the result of an excess storage of fat in the deeper skin layers beneath the connective tissue.  As a result the skin gets uneven, loses elasticity and dimples occur. Inactive lifestyle, poor diet and lack of exercise intensifies the stagnancy of fat cells and makes the problem worse.  It is well-known that anti-cellulite massages combined with (yes, exercise) and topical treatments of the affected body areas - especially on thighs, buttocks, stomach - help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
Thank goodness for Sweetsation and their Svelte PRO Organic Anti-Cellulite Treatment!  This stuff really does work, my cellulite (yes, I have some) has become far less noticeable.  Come summertime this is going to be a MUST HAVE product to have around and will be my secret weapon!
How does Svelte PRO Organic Anti-Cellulite Treatment work?  In plain simple language, they stop production of the enzyme that leads to fat storage in our body and so cause the dimples to shrink. Many ingredients have this effect including, Caffeine, Kola nut and Juniper.  Along side these are ingredients like, Butcher's Broom which helps dilate blood vessels increasing circulation in the area- Gingko Biloba which is said to firm the skin and Lemon and Fennel which helps detox the body and repair skin. L'Carnitine, the latest break through in cellulite battle - is found naturally in the skin and supports the conversion of fat into energy.
However, for best and quickest results it is still best to adopt sensible diet and regular exercise regime!
Go to SweetsationTherapy.com for more info on the Svelte PRO Organic Anti-Cellulite Treatment and take a look at all the other products they offer.  You can also purchase on Amazon.com.
