Forlan Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum-Review

*Forlan Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I am so thankful that I have been on the receiving end of some really great products lately.  This Hyaluronic Acid Serum that Forlan Skincare sent me to review for them is one of them!

Hyaluronic Acid has made quite a name for itself in the anti aging skincare world.  That's because  Hyaluronic Acid is great for plumping up the skin and keeping it hydrated.

I use Hyaluronic Acid Serum everyday and I apply it to my face (including the eye area), neck, decollete and even my shoulders.  This serum from Forlan Skincare is lightweight, non-greasy and absorbs really quickly.  It perfectly hydrates and leaves my skin feeling super soft and smooth.

A great thing about Forlan Skincare is that they offer Money Back Guarantee if you are not happy with their products for whatever reason.

Go to ForlanSkincare.com for more information on their products and you can also purchase the Hyaluronic Acid Serum on 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.

ASTERIA Anti-Aging Facial Serum by Yumi Beautiful-Review

*ASTERIA Anti-Aging Facial Serum by Yumi Beautiful

You are probably asking yourself the same thing I was when Yumi Beautiful sent me this serum to review for them.  What is Asteria Anti-Aging Serum?  It's basically an alternative to Retinol.  It contains Natural Asterias Peptides, that act in a way that is similar to Retinol but it doesn't have some of the harsh side effects that Retinol can have.  That's why the ASTERIA Anti-Aging Facial Serum by Yumi Beautiful works perfectly for people that normally have a sensitivity to Retinol.

The serum also contains ingredients like Aloe Vera and Hyaluronic Acid that help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and minimize flaws.

I have been using this serum in place on my normal Retinol serum for a few weeks and I have had great results.  It definitely helps diminish the look of some of my fine lines and the Hyaluronic Acid also helps plump up my skin and leaves it feeling well hydrated.

Being a beauty blogger and a bit of a package snob I simply must talk about the packaging for this ASTERIA Anti-Aging Facial Serum!  How gorgeous is this bottle?  It's hard to believe but it's even more beautiful in person!  It's one of those bottles that you would love to have sitting on your bathroom counter because it's just pretty to look at!

I have been blessed because I have had the chance to try all of the Yumi Beautiful products and they have all been fantastic, great quality products that deliver real results!  Go to YumiBeautiful.com for information on all of their products and to purchase their products go to Amazon.com.

Total Hair Repair Oil by Foxbrim-Review

*Total Hair Repair Oil by Foxbrim-Review

I have been loving this Total Hair Repair Oil ever since Foxbrim sent it to me to review a few weeks ago!  The oil is a blend of Organic Argan Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, Grapeseed Oil and Sunflower Oil and all those ingredients combined make for a very powerful hair oil that not only nourishes & repairs damaged hair but it also gives it nice healthy shine.

It's formulated for all hair types so anyone can use it.  I have colored, blond, dry hair and my daughter has colored, kinky, curly, damaged hair and it has made a huge difference for both of us.  I like to apply the Total Hair Repair Oil by Foxbrim to the ends of my hair as soon as I get out of the shower and then I also use a little after my hair is dry and styled to help smooth any flyaways.  As a result, I have soft, manageable & silky hair.  Plus, if I have any left over oil on my hands I just rub it into my skin and it also leaves my skin soft & silky!

I have fast become a huge fan of all things by Foxbrim.  I feel really lucky that I have had the chance to able to review a lot of their products, they have all been amazing!

Go to Foxbrim.com for more information on some of their other products and you can order the Total Hair Repair Oil on Amazon.com.  Plus. Foxbrim proudly provides you a 100% Money-Back Guarantee.  They will offer you a full refund.  No questions asked.

Azure Naturals 100% Organic Rosehip Seed Oil-Review

*Azure Naturals 100% Organic Rosehip Seed Oil-Review

Yes, it's another MUST HAVE oil!  I loved testing out this Organic Rosehip Seed Oil that Azure Naturals sent me!

Rosehip Oil is is great stuff and another one of those oils that is a multi-tasker and that you can use on just about everything.  It's lightweight, non-greasy, and quickly absorbed so this is one that I can use on my oily skin and thank goodness because it helps firm your skin, makes it smoother, and more radiant with improved elasticity.  Rosehip Oil contains 77% of naturally occurring essential fatty acids plus super antioxidants Vitamin E, Vitamin C, and a natural form of Vitamin A (Retinol), which helps delay and reverse the signs of aging, helps with new cell regeneration, and promotes increased collagen and elastin production.  Like I said, GREAT STUFF!  This is another oil that I like to use as part of my nighttime skincare routine and apply to my face, neck, decollete and shoulders after cleansing & wake up with soft, super hydrated & smooth skin.  

As with all Azure Naturals products you can try it risk-free for yourself because they offer a ONE YEAR money back guarantee!  If you don't absolutely love any of their products they will give you a full refund, including shipping!

Azure Naturals 100% Pure Organic Emu Oil-Review

*Azure Naturals 100% Pure Organic Emu Oil-Review

Another great product from Azure Naturals!  I love this Emu Oil that Azure Naturals sent me to review for them.  This is one that I choose to not use on my face because it's a little thicker than I would normally like to use on my face & due to the fact I already have oily skin so I decided to just use it on the rest of my body.  However, it has got to be one of the best moisturizers I've ever used.  It leaves your skin feeling super silky & smooth!  LOVE.THIS.STUFF!

Emu Oil is hypo-allergenic and will not irritate even the most sensitive skin.  Emu Oil is great for not only making your skin super soft but it also will reduce muscle and joint pain, and even stimulate hair growth!  It is also great for more severe skin issues like cracking, peeling, and scaling associated with many skin conditions including Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea, Lupus, Shingles, and Fungal conditions.

As with all Azure Naturals products you can try it risk-free for yourself because they offer a ONE YEAR money back guarantee!  If you don't absolutely love any of their products they will give you a full refund, including shipping!

Azure Naturals 100% Virgin Argan Oil-Review

*Azure Naturals 100% Virgin Argan Oil

I have long been a fan of Argan Oil, I love it because you can literally use it on just about everything and it delivers great results.  I am also a big fan of Azure Naturals so when they sent me their 100% Virgin Argan Oil to review for them I was super happy.
Why do I love Argan Oil?  First of all, I have really oily skin but this is one oil that is great for all skin types, even acne-prone.  It's ultra-lightweight, non-greasy, and it absorbs really quickly.  It's full of powerful anti-oxidants such as Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid as well as other essential fatty acids including Oleic, Palmitic, and Linoleic Acids.  These ingredients make Argan Oil a super food for your skin, hair, and entire body!  Argan Oil has astonishing healing, conditioning, and anti-aging properties that help keep your skin and hair looking nourished and revitalized.
My favorite way to use Argan Oil is to apply it to my face as a sleep mask and I also apply it to my neck, decollete and shoulders as part of my nighttime skincare routine.  When I wake up in the morning my skin feels really hydrated and has a nice dewy glow to it.

Still not convinced you should try it?  Well, another great thing about Azure Naturals is they offer a ONE YEAR money back guarantee!  If you don't absolutely love any of their products they will give you a full refund, including shipping!

My Top 5 Beauty & Skincare Hacks

My Top 5 Beauty & Skincare Hacks

I use beauty & skincare hacks almost everyday so I thought I would share my Top 5 with you!

1. Oil Blotting Sheets - Since I have oily skin I am always using Oil Blotting Sheets and when I run out of my usual sheets and I'm desperate I will either go for *toilet seat covers or a coffee filter depending on where I am & what's available (*I usually take the first couple of seat protectors off & use on seat and then use the next one down for my face).
2. Don't Forget Your Shoulders - You always hear about including your neck and decollete when applying serums and moisturizers but I like to take it 1 step further and also include my shoulders. Your shoulders get just as much sun damage as your decollete and can also age you so make sure you don't forget them next time you are applying your serums & creams!
3. White Eye Liner - Not only can you use White Eye Liner in your waterline to make your eyes look more open and in the inner corner of your eye to brighten up your eyes but you can also use it on your entire eyelid to automatically intensify any eyeshadow color.  Same goes for your nails too, use a white nail polish underneath your color polish, this will help you achieve the true color of the polish.
4. Dry Shampoo - Did you run out of your favorite Dry Shampoo?  Go to your kitchen and grab some baking soda, sprinkle a little directly on your roots, work it in and viola! 
5. DIY Makeup Fixer - Don't you hate it when you drop your favorite makeup compact and it breaks into little pieces?  Now, instead of throwing it out you can salvage it!  You will need some alcohol (rubbing alcohol works fine but it you can find *70% alcohol it works even better. (you can usually find 70% alcohol at your art supply store), q-tip & plastic wrap.  Wrap you compact with the plastic wrap and break up the larger pieces of makeup until it's back to powder form.  Remove the plastic wrap and add a few drops of alcohol at a time until it is the consistency of a paste.  Now you just need to smooth it out (you can use a small spatula to do this) and let it dry for several hours or overnight.  Make sure it's completely dry before using it.
