Petunia Skincare 1.5mm Derma Roller-Review



***Holy Grail Alert***  If you are not using a Derma Roller as part of your skincare routine you need to start ASAP!  Seriously.  I'm not kidding...lol.
I have become slightly obsessed with Derma Rollers and I have been trying out various needle sizes.  The needles sizes can range from 0.2 all the way up to to 3.0.  I'm not sure if they make them stronger than 3.0 but if they do I'm sure it's something only a doctor could get their hands on.  Each size is used to treat a specific range of  skin issues from acne, lines & wrinkles to scars and even stretch marks.  Basically they work by remolding the skin by creating thousands of microscopic channels through the skin, increasing the formation of new tissue by activating the body’s wound healing properties. The micro-channeling causes the release of growth factors that promote scar-less healing and the deposition of normal woven collagen rather than scar collagen.  Derma Rolling also allows your skincare products to penetrate your skin at a much deeper level thereby enhancing their overall effectiveness.  This one from Petunia Skincare is the 1.5mm size and it works perfectly on scars and can even be used on Cellulite and Stretch Marks!
In my opinion, a Derma Roller really is a Holy Grail skincare tool.  The needle size you may need will depend on what kind of skin issues you are dealing with.  (See chart below)

Lemon, Peppermint & Lavender Essential Oils by InstaNatural-Review



I am all about Essential Oils lately and I have been on a craft kick making all sorts of things using them.  One of my favorite brands, InstaNatural sent me some of their Essential Oils, Lemon, Peppermint & Lavender to try out so I have been using them in my crafts.  I've made Lavender Body Scrub, Lemon Face Wash and even some Peppermint Roller Ball "perfume" that I use to soothe my headaches, among other things.
Lemon Oil has great astringent and purifying properties which makes it the option for making cleansers and toners for skincare.  I also like to use Lemon Oil when crafting my own cleaning products!
Peppermint Oil is a multi-purpose oil that can be used for all kinds of things.  It energizes and refreshes the body and mind.  It's great for soothing headaches and sore muscles and perfect for aromatherapy to improve the mind and lift the spirits.
Lavender Oil is probably the most popular of Essential Oils.  It's great for relaxing and rejuvenating the body and mind and can be used in a wide range of products.  It's not just for personal use either, Lavender Oil is also a really popular scent in home care products as well.
All three of these oils are very high quality with very intense scents, which make the perfect for creating you own unique products.  Go to Instanatural.com to check out their Essential Oils and other products.  You can also find their products on Amazon.com...

Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil by Life & Food-Review



There has been much talk about Omega-3's lately and for good reason.  Chances are most of us are not getting the adequate amounts of Omega-3 that we need.  That's why taking a quality supplement like Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil by Life & Food may be a great option.  Omega-3 has a lot of benefits like it improving heart health, balancing cholesterol levels, preventing hypertension, maintaining healthy brain function, preventing nerve damage and more!  I take Omega-3 Supreme Fish Oil everyday as part of my supplement routine. 
It's important to make sure every supplement you take is free of additives, binders and fillers.  Life & Food offers high quality supplements free of all those nasty things and I highly recommend their products!  Check them out at lifefoodpro.com and you can also find their products on Amazon.com...

Cellulite Cream by Spalon Tech-Review



Who doesn't loathe cellulite?  Who doesn't wish we could just make it disappear?  We might not be able to make it disappear (at least not without some extreme diet & exercise) but we can at least make it less noticeable.  I was a huge skeptic of Cellulite Creams and I am sure there are some out there that are a total scam but I have tried & reviewed a few now and I have had impressive results with all of them.
Most recently I was sent this Cellulite Cream by Spalon Tech to review for them and I've been using it for the last couple of weeks.  The Go Bare cream has really made a difference in the appearance of my skin.  It looks and feels a little more firm but most of all it looks more smooth and that's a WIN for me!

Don't be fooled and think a cream is magically going to make your Cellulite disappear but I do know that a good cream can make it less noticeable.  So, if you looking to wear those cute shorts and dresses this summer but aren't exactly happy with how those legs are looking I would recommend a Cellulite Cream like this one that has been tried and tested by "normal" people that have "normal" results!

Pura d'or Hair & Body Care-Review



I am a newcomer to the Pura d'or brand so I was looking forward to trying out their shampoo, conditioner and Argan Oil.  Pura d'or is all about creating organic personal care solutions that work naturally.  I love that as a mission statement.  I am really trying move towards only using all natural and organic products and being able to test out products from brands like Pura d'or reinforce why natural and organic is the only way to go!
Even though I do not have issues with hair loss I loved how the Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Hair Loss Prevention Therapy Shampoo helps create thicker hair and I think helping prevent hair loss is something that can only be a good thing.  I really like how it smells fresh and clean.  It also makes my hair feel fresh and clean!  I know the Argan Oil in it also helps nourish my hair.  Of course it is also free from harsh chemicals!
The Premium Organic Argan Oil Based Conditioner smells really amazing thanks to the Lavender Vanilla scent.  It also leaves my hair feeling hydrated, soft, silky and shiny! It's also free from harsh chemicals as well.
I am already an Argan Oil fanatic because it's a great multi-tasker!  You can use Argan Oil from head to toe!  It's a great moisturizer, helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles and helps reduce scarring and stretch marks.  It also works wonders on damaged hair.  It helps repair split ends and calms frizzies and flyaways!  I can also say that it is comparable to the Josie Maran Argan Oil but at half the cost!
Overall, I am super impressed with Pura d'or Hair & Body Care as a brand and with their products!  I love that they use natural and organic ingredients and that the produce results!  After all, I am a results driven kind of girl!

Joyal Beauty Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum-Review




I love Joyal Beauty products!  Actually my oily, acne-prone and aging skin loves their products and I always have really great results so I was really excited to get my hands on their Vitamin C Serum!  I am sure it's because of the quality ingredients that Joyal Beauty uses in their products.
Their Vitamin C Serum contains STAY-C® 50 which is stabilized (phosphorylated) sodium salt of L-ascorbic acid.  (Whatever that means!).  The L-ascorbate molar activity of the phosphorylated ester of Vitamin C is equivalent to L-ascorbic acid and it is easily bioconverted to Vitamin C by skin enzymes.  The serum is absorbed by the skin almost immediately and stays in the skin for up to 72 hours!  Sounds pretty amazing to me!  It also contains Ferulic Acid which is a potent antioxidant, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid and Witch Hazel.  All these special ingredients work together to help lighten dark spots, repair sun damage, minimize pores, help clear up acne and create a smooth and even toned complexion.  Oh and did I mention it helps diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles too?  Now you know why my skin and I love this stuff!!
Go to JoyalBeauty.com and check out all their products and get more info on this Vitamin C Serum!  You can also purchase on Amazon.com...

Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask by Pure & Essential Minerals-Review #MaskMonday



Happy Mask Monday!  I hope everyone had a super fabulous Eater weekend filled with fun, family and friends! If you are anything like me you then you probably ended up eating a bunch of yummy food too!  I don't know about you but not only is my body in need of a little detox but so is my skin!
The perfect mask to help detox my skin is this Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask by Pure & Essential Minerals.  It's no secret that I LOVE masks and I LOVE a good mud mask even more!  This Dead Sea Mud Mask is everything that it should be.  It has a nice greenish-muddy hue to it, smells clean but earthy (just the way I like it) has a thick and creamy texture and it's made with 100% Natural and Organic ingredients.  As the Dead Sea Mud Mask dries on your face you can feel it suck out (love that feeling) excess oils, impurities & grime from your skin. After the mask dries and you rinse it off you are left with soft, smooth, fresh and clean skin.  I use this mask at least once a week to help diminish and heal any breakouts and to help tighten my pores and the Dead Sea minerals and essential oils also helps fight off lines and wrinkles! This mask is a must have for every skincare routine!
