Must Have Monday - Jane Iredale Purepressed Blush in Whisper

Jane Iredale Purepressed Blush in Whisper

For some reason this blush from Jane Iredale in the color Whisper totally caught my eye so I had to make it the center of attention for this "Must Have Monday" post.  

Jane Iredale is a brand that I loved and admired for years and definitely one that has some fantastic products.  Their products are natural, mineral based, hypoallergenic and cruelty free and what I like to call "guilt free"!

This Purepressed Blush in Whisper is a shimmering peachy pink that will give you that "lit from within" look and I think it's the perfect shade for summer.

What do you think of this shade for summer?  Do you change up your make-up as the seasons change?  I would love to hear from you so leave me a comment below...

Retinol Cream by Key West Health & Beauty

*Retinol Cream by Key West Health & Beauty

Have you added a good Retinol Cream to your skincare routine yet?  If not, this one from Key West Health & Beauty is a great option.  Retinol is one of those skincare ingredients that can help with a lot of different skin issues and one that I can't be without.  Retinol can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, increase collagen production, repair sun damage and lighten spots and it can also help unclog pores and get rid of acne.

After about 3 weeks of using this Retinol Cream by Key West Health & Beauty I started to see my fine lines diminish and my Melasma even lightened up.  One thing to keep in mind when using any Retinol is that it can sometimes take up to 12 weeks before you see a significant change in your skin.  However, I am here to tell you it's well worth it!

You should also use some precaution when using any Retinol product.  Always use sunscreen and don't use any products that contain benzoyl peroxide since this pairing will cause your skin to dry out, and neutralize the effects of Retinol.  You should also not use Retinol if you’re pregnant or nursing.

Check out the Retinol Cream on keywesthealthandbeauty.com and you can purchase it on Amazon.com...

Silymarin Milk Thistle by Critical Nutrition

*Silymarin Milk Thistle by Critical Nutrition

Milk Thistle is probably best known for it's ability to help detox the liver and can be used to help naturally treat people with alcohol-related liver disease.
I like to use Milk Thistle like this one by Critical Nutrition when I am doing a Detox.  Especially since Silymarin which is the main active ingredient in Milk Thistle is a great, natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
I don't take Milk Thistle on a regular basis, usually only when I am doing a Detox which is usually every few weeks but I do think it really does help.  I have also been known to pop a few of these when i have had too much to drink the night before.  I am not sure if it really works like that but I do feel like my hangovers are not as bad so for me that's all the proof I need!

This Silymarin Milk Thistle by Critical Nutrition has no artificial flavors or sweeteners, no preservatives, no sugar, no starch, no Milk, no Gluten, no Wheat, no Yeast and is also Sodium free.  Go to Amazon..com for more info and to purchase Silymarin Milk Thistle by Critical Nutrition...

Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream by UNT, Inc.

*Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream bu UNT, Inc.

Ok, so I'm not gonna lie.  I didn't actually use this Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream on my face.   Since I have very oily and acne prone skin I have to be very careful about what goes on my face.  If it doesn't say "non-comedogenic" or "doesn't clog pores" or something similar I usually assume a breakout is in my near future.  However, I did use this on my neck and decollete and loved it!

The cream itself is actually fairly lightweight but thick all at the same time.  It absorbs really quickly and leaves skin feeling super soft and well hydrated.  It makes a fantastic neck cream!  The lines on my neck and decollete were less noticeable after using this product so it's claims at being an Anti-Wrinkle Cream are spot on!  My skin also seemed to have a nice plumpness to it which I loved!

The cream itself contains potent anti-aging ingredients like Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C & E.. All these ingredients work together to moisturize, repair, firm, rejuvenate and even helps improves skin tone and elasticity.  It does claim that it's ideal for all skin types including Oily so I am going to try it out on a small section of my face and see what happens!  After all, I would trade a wrinkle for a blemish any day!!

Go to untsolutions.com for more information or to purchase the Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream or their Beautyfusion Anti-Wrinkle Serum (the Serum is pretty awesome too and I will be doing a review on that next week!).  You can also purchase on Amazon.com...

3 in 1 Interchangeable Derma Roller Kit by Puruskin

*3 in 1 Interchangeable Derma Roller Kit by Puruskin

If you've followed my blog for any length of time then you already know how much I love Derm Rollers.  For me, Derma Rollers are a game changer and this 3 in 1 Interchangeable Derma Roller Kit by Puruskin is simply amazing.

In a nutshell, Derma Rolling encourages your skin to create new scarless tissue which is why you can have significant results.  If your going to do Derma Rolling right you really do need to have several different sizes which is why this 3 in 1 Derma Roller is perfect!  It comes with the 0.5 mm size for the skin around eyes and nose area, the 1.0 mm  for general facial rolling and finally the larger 1.5 mm roller head which has 1200 needles and is for body rolling, deeper wrinkles, stretch marks, cellulite, and even loose skin.

I am telling you Derma Rolling has made all the difference in my skin!  It has helped with my Melasma, fine lines and my overall skin texture.  I have been using the larger Derma Roller on some of my stretch marks and I have also noticed a little improvement on those too.  I will continue the treatment and I am sure I will notice even more improvement with time.

If you are considering Derma Rolling I would encourage you to do a little research on your own and see if it's right for your type of skin condition.  All I can do is share the fact that I have had really great results with Derma Rolling.  As with any beauty tool or product individual results will vary.

Puruskin has an informative website that you can checkout and you can get additional information or purchase the 3 in 1 Interchangeable Derma Roller Kit on Amazon.com...

Vitamin C Serum by MAMM

*Vitamin C Serum by MAMM

MAMM is a brand I just recently discovered when they sent me their Vitamin C Serum to test out for them.  The one thing that I liked about this Vitamin C Serum before I even tried it is that it also has Hyaluronic Acid as one of the key ingredients.  Not only am I a huge fan of Vitamin C Serums but I also love Hyaluronic Acid because it's a really powerful moisturizer and gives aging skin that nice, supple look we all want.
Since I am testing out another skincare line on my face right now I have been using it primarily on my decollete for the last couple of weeks and I am really happy with my results.  I have a lot of sun damage and Melasma on my decollete thanks to years of sun exposure and neglect.  It only took about a week of use for me to notice that my sun spots were fading and my skin texture was also a lot more smooth.  So, for that I would give this Vitamin C Serum two thumbs up!  Plus, I am a sucker for all things Organic and this Vitamin C Serum by MAMM uses Organic ingredients!

For more detailed information make sure you check out mammproducts.com and you can purchase this Vitamin C Serum by MAMM on Amazon.com...

Maxasorb Melatonin Cream by Vita Sciences

*Maxasorb Melatonin Cream by Vita Sciences

One thing I am really horrible at is sleeping.  I have tried just about everything to help me fall asleep and help me stay asleep.  For some reason I have never been good at sleeping and unfortunately I am not one of those who does well on little sleep.  I have just learned to adjust and accept that I am generally tired all the time and when it gets bad I take a prescription sleep aid so I can get at least one good night sleep just so I can function.

Most of you probably already know that Melatonin is a naturally occurring hormone that our bodies produce to help us fall and stay asleep.  A lot of things affects how much Melatonin our bodies produce from light to seasons and even our age.  Melatonin is a key ingredient that you will find in most sleep aids on the market these days.    

I have tried a lot of different Melatonin products over the years with varying results.  So, I was really curios to test out this Maxasorb Melatonin Cream that I was sent by Vita Sciences.

With one full press of the pump the Maxasorb Melatonin Cream supplies a measured dose of 3 milligrams of Melatonin.  I applied it just before bedtime on my arms.  The lotion itself is odorless and hypoallergenic.  It's also easily absorbed and even leaves skin feeling hydrated.

I would have to say that the Maxasorb Melatonin Cream by Vita Sciences gets two thumbs up from me!  It not only helped me fall asleep faster than I normally would but it also helped me stay asleep for at least 4 hours.  That might not seem like a lot but for me that's actually really good.  I'm impressed!

Vita Sciences has some other really great products (I'm also testing out their B12 cream right now) so go to vitasciences.com and check them out!  You can also purchase the Maxasorb Melatonin Cream by Vita Sciences on vitasciences.com or on Amazon.com...
