The Compound Factor - Skin Clearing System



As a beauty blogger I am constantly testing out any number of skincare products and while I get to test out a lot of great products it can sometimes wreak havoc on my oily and blemish-prone skin.  Yes, even at 42 I still deal with skin demons and they especially like to show up if I have been testing out a lot of thick anti-aging creams and I haven't been able to exfoliate on a regular basis.
That's why I love it when I get to test out a new anti-acne skincare line like this The Compound Factor - Skin Clearing System!
What makes this system unique is that it works to help clear skin not only on the outside but it also comes with a Probiotic supplement to help clear skin from the inside.  The kit consists of 4 steps, Cleanse, Activate, Correct and Spot Solution in addition to the Probioitic supplement.  All the products work synergistically to help fight breakouts, absorb excess oil, reduce enlarged pores, soothe, heal and improve the overall skin tone and texture.  
I have been using the The Compound Factor - Skin Clearing System along with my normal skincare products and a little more intensely when I feel a breakout coming on and it definitely keeps any face demons from popping up and it helps heal any existing ones that I didn't catch in time.
The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish the kit included a larger size of Activate, Step 2.  This is the Pore Exfoliating Toner and it comes in a much smaller bottle than the other steps.  Toner is in a 1 oz. bottle and the other steps are 2 oz.  I am not sure what their reasoning was for this but I hope they increase the size of the toner to match the rest of the system.  I have already ran out of the toner but still have plenty of everything else.  Other than that this is a great new skincare line and I would recommend it for anyone that struggles with blemishes like I do.

Metallic Gold Flash Temporary Tattoos by Kiki



So, I finally broke down and tried out these Metallic Temporary Tattoos and I have to say I am super impressed!  They actually look really cool and could even pass for real jewelry and real tattoos from a distance!
This particular pack, Metallic Gold Flash Temporary Tattoos by Kiki, comes with 5 sheets and over 50 Tattoos to choose from.  My personal favorite is the sheet is the Sea Themed sheet that has the Mermaid on it.  The Seahorse is so pretty it has made me think about getting a REAL tattoo that looks exactly like it! 
These are also really easy to apply.  Simply cut out the tattoo of your choice, remove plastic fronting, place tattoo on clean, smooth, dry skin and hold a damp cloth or sponge on it for about 20 seconds and then peel off backing.  It's that easy!  (You may need to leave on a little longer if it isn't sticking).  The tattoos should last up to 5 days if they are kept dry and less if you get them wet, obviously.
I have been saving the Sea Themed sheet to take on our upcoming cruise and I can't wait to use them!!

Dead Sea Mineral Mud Mask by Tre'Yours



I am a Mask addict through and through.  I use masks as part of my skincare routine several times a week.  While I really like the new and trendy sheet masks there is still nothing that beats a good ol' mud mask!
I have been LOVING this Dead Sea Mineral Mud Mask by Tre'Yours!  It's contains no water or additives, it's just 100% pure thick authentic Dead Sea Mud.  It contains 26 minerals that do all kinds of lovely things for your skin like clarify and remove toxins, tighten, refresh and even hydrate!  All you have to do is slather on this Dead Sea Mineral Mud twice a week for about 10 minutes or until it dries.  Rinse off to reveal fresh and revitalized skin.  It will look and feel amazing!  Not only will it heal up any skin demons but it will also soften fine lines and wrinkles.  I'm telling you it's pretty amazing stuff and I love it!
This Dead Sea Mineral Mud is safe for all skin types but if you have really sensitive skin I suggest you do a test patch first just to make sure it won't cause you any issues.

Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring



I am crazy for Matcha!  Once you get a taste of Organic Ceremonial Matcha like this one from Midori Spring you can never really go back to regular Green Tea!  
The flavor that you get from this Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring is very distinct and intense.  It's very smooth and almost has sweet taste to it.  Since the quality of this Matcha is so good it also makes it perfect to use in baking.  Personally, my favorite way to use Matcha Green Tea is to add it to my green smoothies since it's packed full of antioxidants and helps detoxify my system.  A good Match like this one can also help relieve stress, increase energy, help your body burn calories, boost your immune system and can even help improve your Cholesterol levels.
Ingesting Matcha really is one of the best things your can do for yourself!  It's a Superfood and it does a body good!
The key is picking out a really good quality Matcha like this one from Organic Ceremonial Matcha by Midori Spring.  This tea is from the top Organic tea plantations in Japan – specifically Aichi and Kagoshima. With these two regions combined, their Matcha is from the largest producer of powdered green tea in Japan and hails from a thriving diverse environment for agriculture.  In addition, their production methods adhere to strict Organic and Kosher regulations.  Their tea gardens are designed to provide shaded sunlight to produce premium Matcha and when it is time to harvest, they carefully select the tea leaves to be grinded.  The darker leaves contain more chlorophyll and significantly tastes sweeter and smooth.  They also do not use 2nd Flush (2nd Harvest) leaves, as the taste will be typically more astringent.  As a result, all you get is premium quality Matcha.

Eyelash Growth Serum by Allura



I have been loving this Eyelash Growth Serum by Allura!  I had a mishap with an old Eyelash Curler a few months back and I ended up loosing a bunch of my lashes which wasn't not pretty.  I have never been a fake lash kind of girl but not having lashes forced me to learn how to wear the fake ones but I would still rather rock my own lashes!
Thank goodness for this Eyelash Growth Serum by Allura!  It actually took about 2 months for all my lashes to come back but now they are longer, more full and it really seems like I even have more of them.  This stuff works!  The trick to using a growth serum (I think) is just being dedicated and giving it time to work.  I applied this serum every morning and night and started to notice a difference after about 2 weeks and like I said if took about 2 months for all of my lashes...and then some to come back.  If you already have all of your normal lashes you should notice longer and fuller lashes within 2 weeks if you use the serum as directed! 
This serum is safe and gentle and easy to use!


Go to Allura.com to purchase or for more information on the Eyelash Growth Serum.  Make sure you also check out their amazing Neck Cream!!  You can also pick it up on Amazon.com...

Dog Whistle Set by PetVitalix



I love my furbabies and I totally hate the thought of using a bark collar, even though sometime I have really thought hard about it!  I am so glad I didn't go that direction and so thankful I got to try out this Dog Whistle Set by PetVitalix!
This Whistle Set has been a great tool for us to help teach both our dogs to stop barking.  It's been a few weeks and we are still working on it but there has already been a lot of improvement.  We are also still getting the hang of how to use it correctly but it's pretty easy so it's been going really well.
The Whistle is adjustable to multiple frequencies to train your dog commands (like come, sit, stay, etc.) and discipline over either short or long distances and it can also be used as deterrent or bark control device, which is what we have been using it for.  Every canine is likely to respond at a different sound, simply find best tone and tighten the nut for your pet's perfect audio level.  It's really that easy!  When you purchase the Dog Whistle Set by PetVitalix they also provide a "Whistle Instruction Guide" pdf Ebook for all tips and finding the correct pitch.  It's a great size at only 2 inches long and 0.4 ounces so you can just put it on your key ring so you know where it is a moments notice!


You can get your furbabies a Dog Whistle Set by PetVitalix too from Amazon.com...

100% Pure and Certified Organic Argan Oil by RejuveNaturals



Here is another exceptional example of 100% Argan Oil and one that I have somehow managed to go through a full 4 oz. bottle of in about 3 weeks!
This 100% Pure and Certified Organic Argan Oil is by RejuveNaturals and I have been loving it as an all over moisturizer.  If you follow my blog then you already know how much I love Argan Oil.  It's one of the best skin-loving oils on the market that can be used for just about anything and everything.  My favorite way to use Argan Oil is after my nightly shower or bath.  While my skin is still damp gently massage the 100% Pure and Certified Organic Argan Oil by RejuveNaturals into my skin.  It's a lightweight oil that is quickly absorbed and it just leaves the skin feeling really nourished.  Plus, I love that I wake up in the morning and my skin stills has that nourished feeling and looks soft and supple.  It's pretty amazing stuff!  I also like to use a little around my eyes to soften any fine lines and then I apply a few drops to the ends of my hair to help mend any split-ends.
When my face is feeling dehydrated or if I am dealing with any kind of skin irritation, I like to apply a few drops of Argan Oil at night as as sleeping mask and wake up with healed and soft skin!
