LAVO Deep Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover-Review

*LAVO Deep Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover

I love trying out different cleansing oils and luckily I have been able to try quite a few and they have all done a pretty great job at removing my makeup but some are definitely better than others.  However, because I have oily skin I still like to use a traditional cleanser to clean my face after I use the cleansing oil to remove my makeup.
  Lately, I have been testing out the Deep Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover by LAVO and I love it.  It does a really great job and stripping away all my makeup, even waterproof mascara.  That's is what sets this cleansing oil apart from others that I have tried, not all of the take off waterproof mascara but the LAVO Deep Cleansing Oil did!

It's also super easy to use and no scrubbing is needed.  Just massage into skin for about a minute, yes, even onto your eyes!  You will end up looking hideous with makeup smeared all over your face but just splash your face with water to emulsify the oil and use a cloth (I like to use muslin cloths from Pai) to finish washing off.  You can use this cleansing oil by itself but like I said, because I have oily skin I still choose to use my regular cleanser after I remove my makeup with the cleansing oil.

I have compared this cleansing oil to some more well known and more expensive cleansing oils and it works just as good and in some cases better than those other brands.  So, if you are in the market for a cleansing oil the LAVO Deep Cleansing Oil is a great choice!

Go to lavoskin.com and check out this cleansing oil and they have some other really great products too (I LOVE their Microdermabrasion Cream)!  You can also purchase the LAVO Deep Cleansing Oil Makeup Remover direct from 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.

Dead Sea Mud Mask by InstaNatural-Review

*Dead Sea Mud Mask by InstaNatural

It's always a great thing when things that I love come together.  In this case it's my love of masks and InstaNatural (I love their products!)!  InstaNatural sent me their Dead Sea Mud Mask to review for them and before I even opened the jar I knew I would love it.

First of all, the size of the jar (16 oz.) is very generous so you can get a ton of masks out of one jar and that is ALWAYS a good thing.  I think I was expecting a really think clay type consistency but it's more like a gel than anything else, actually...think pudding, pudding is probably the best description of the consistency.  Needless to say I was very intrigued!  It feels nice and cool when you first put it on and as it dries you can feel it cleaning out your pores and soothing your skin all at the same time.  It's kinds unlike any other mask I have tried ( and I have tried A LOT of them) and I love it!  My skin feels clean, smooth and hydrated.  This is a great mask that I do at least twice a week since it has the benefits of cleaning out your pores and being soothing & hydrating.

The Dead Sea Mud Mask by InstaNatural contains a nourishing blend of Organic Shea Butter, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Organic Calendula Oil, and Hickory Bark Extract and all those ingredients help provide moisture to soothe dry and irritated skin.  It also has sacred Dead Sea Mud, which contains minerals beneficial to the skin, such as magnesium, sodium and bromin which are great for acne or other blemishes because they extract excess oil & dirt from the skin and purge blemishes.

Go to InstaNatural.com for more information on the Dead Sea Mud Mask or any of their other products or you can also purchase on Amazon.com.

Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer-Review

*Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer

Do you ever have a product that you wish you could just bathe your whole body in?  Well, I have a few that I could mention and this Anti-Aging Moisturizer that Adeline Beauty sent me is one them!  It's jam-packed full of goodness like Matrixyl, Witch Hazel, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C & Vitamin E plus, it also has a faint peppermint scent which I love as well.  All of those special ingredients help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, laugh lines, dry skin and uneven skin.  Now you know why I want to bathe in it!
Since it's not realistic to bathe in it I just apply it to my face, neck, decollete and my shoulders every evening.  Now, I don't really have "wrinkles" to speak of...at least not yet it so I can't tell you that it miraculously made my wrinkles go away but it did soften my fine lines, left my skin feeling smooth and I noticed my skin tone seemed more even.  Yay!

You can go to Amazon.com to order and get more information on the Adeline Anti-Aging Moisturizer.  Plus, if you don't love the Anti-Aging Moisturizer Adeline Beauty will give you a full refund, no questions asked!  So awesome!

Revitalizing Eye Cream by Poppy Austin-Review

*Revitalizing Eye Cream by Poppy Austin

I love a good eye cream!  Eye Cream is another one of my skincare addictions.  Luckily, I have been able to test out A LOT of really great eye creams and this one that Poppy Austin sent me is one of them!

The Revitalizing Eye Cream is made with all natural and organic ingredients (LOVE THAT) and it helps reduce puffiness, dark circles and also helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles.  Plus, you can also smooth it over your face, neck and decollete!  What more could you ask for?  

I love using this as part of my a.m. skincare routine because the cream is really lightweight so my skin absorbs it really quickly and it helps de-puff my morning eyes and fend off my dark circles and fine lines!

Go to poppyaustin.com to purchase this lovely Revitalizing Eye Cream and make sure you check out some of their other products while you are there, I am dying to try their Barbary Fig Seed Oil!  You can also purchase it on Amazon,com.

100% Pure & Natural Essential Peppermint Oil by Pure Body Naturals-Review

*100% Pure & Natural Essential Peppermint Oil by Pure Body Naturals

I was really excited to get this Peppermint Essential Oil from Pure Body Naturals since I have heard of all the great things that Peppermint Oil does.

Peppermint Oil can be used for everything from relieving muscle pain to getting rid of tension headaches.  I also like that it can also help reduce your appetite and suppress cravings!

I have some other Essential Oils & Fractionated Coconut Oil that I am testing out so I decided I wanted to make my own little Essential Oil Roll On's.  I purchased a box of plain Roll On Bottles that were really inexpensive and combined the Fractionated Coconut Oil that I was sent by Majestic Pure and created the perfect Essential Oil Roll On!
I filled the Roll On bottles 3/4 of the way with the Fractionated Coconut Oil and the rest with the Peppermint Oil.  I keep one at my desk at work and also by my bedside.  Anytime I feel a craving coming on I just roll a little bit under my nose and breathe in!  It also helps you breathe a little better when your feeling stuffed up like I have been.  It's also perfect for rolling on my sore, stiff muscles where needed.

Precision Eyelash Curler by Majestic Bombay-Review

*Precision Eyelash Curler by Majestic Bombay

How cute is this Precision Eyelash Curler that Majestic Bombay sent me to review for them?  I love the look and feel of this curler.  It fits my eye shape really well and I am able to get grab all of my lashes so they all get a nice little curl to them.   

I think curling the eyelashes is one of those parts of a makeup routine that doesn't get much credit but when done correctly can really change your whole look.  A properly curled eyelash can make your lashes look longer, thicker, fuller, and the eyes themselves appear larger and more awake.

I love having the Precision Eyelash Curler by Majestic Bombay as part of my beauty tool arsenal!

Go to majesticbombay.com to check out some of their other products and go to Amazon.com to purchase a Precision Eyelash Curler for yourself!  Also, Majestic Bombay is offering my readers a $5.00 off Coupon Code: 5X8X9V9W just click the link below and enter code at checkout!
