Matte Finish Eyeshadow & Silk Cream Lipstick by Make Beauty

*Matte Finish Eyeshadow & Silk Cream Lipstick by MAKE BEAUTY

I have been dying to try anything and everything by the up an coming brand Make Beauty so I was beyond excited when they sent me these adorable samples of their Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy and their Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster!

I love everything about this brand.  From the cool packaging to the fact that their products are paraben free and never tested on animals.  They also donate 10% of sales to the We See Beauty Foundation that supports women-led, worker-owned cooperative businesses across the Americas.  Plus, the products themselves seem to be exceptional as well!

The Silk Cream Lipstick in Taffy is the perfect "your lip color but better" pinky-nude.  It's creamy, highly pigmented and looks and feels amazing.  A totally wearable formula and color that I think would look good on anyone and every skin color.  It's very moisturizing thanks to the Rosehip, Soybean and Safflower oils along with Aloe and Chamomile extracts for even more conditioning.  Easily a new favorite lipstick that has inspired me to buy the full size when I finish my mini!

The Matte Finish Eyeshadow in Alabaster is also a lovely product.  It's the perfect "all-over-the-lid" color that is a velvety matte powder that is not only very creamy but also very pigmented.  It's also a blendable, crease-resistant and oil-free formula which will stay looking freshly applied for hours!

This is another win for me and one that I will have to purchase the full size of as well!

EGF Serum-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum by Serum Ceuticals

*EGF Serum-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum by Serum Ceuticals

Here is another great serum by Serum Ceuticals that I've been testing out.  This brand has quickly become a favorite and for a good reason.  I've been really impressed with everything that I've tested out so far and this EGF Serum-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum is another one I can add to the growing list.
This EGF-Epidermal Growth Factor Serum helps with a variety of skin issues by rejuvenating skin cell and stimulating cell proliferation.  It provides accelerated healing of skin, which makes it a perfect serum to use after a peel or intense exfoliation.  It also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps lighten hyperpigmentation and can even help firm sagging skin.  All that and it also helps nourish and hydrate deprived skin.
Since this is a more intense serum I have only been using this in my evening skincare routine for intense hydration and to help reduce any fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes, neck and decollete and then also in conjunction with my weekly chemical peels.  It really helps to heal my skin after a peel and it leaves my skin looking and feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and nourished.
I would recommend this serum for anyone with aging, sagging skin accompanied by fine lines and wrinkles as well as anyone that does any type of peel or intense exfoliation.  You will see an improvement in your skin almost overnight!  If you have oily skin like me you can use at night for any fine lines and wrinkles or where you have hyperpigmentation.  You can also use it anytime after you do any type of peel or exfoliation to help repair & nourish the skin.

Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech

*Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech

As you already know Vitamin C is one of my favorite skincare products and Hyaluronic Acid is also right up there as one of my favorites.  This Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech contains both so I already knew I was going to love it.

I've been testing this one out for a few weeks now and as expected it has met all my expectations for a Vitamin C Serum!  It's a lightweight serum that absorbs really quickly in the skin which makes it perfect to wear under makeup.  For best results I like to use my Vitamin C Serum in both the morning and evening and I like to apply it to my face, neck and decollete.  The potent Vitamin C in this serum helps to lighten and brighten my skin and the Hyaluronic Acid is a great hydrator.  I have very oily skin so I can actually get away with just using this serum and not have to use any additional moisturizer if I don't want to.  However, if you have skin that tends to be on the drier side you will probably still want to add some additional moisture.

I also like this Vitaderm CH+ Serum by NonaTech because it's made in the USA in a FDA-inspected facility and is also Paraben and Cruelty Free.  If you are looking for a reasonably priced Vitamin C Serum I would recommend checking this one out!

MagicBox II Bluetooth 4.0 Portable Wireless Speaker by DKnight

*MagicBox II Bluetooth 4.0 Portable Wireless Speaker by DKnight

I have a few portable little speakers that I've been pretty happy with but this one is now by far, my favorite.  First of all, it's the perfect size.  At 6 x 2 x 1.6 inches it's not too small and not too big and great for traveling.  However, most important is that is sounds pretty amazing for such a little speaker. It also has exceptional sounds quality.  If you didn't see the speaker and just heard it you would think it was coming out of a much larger speaker.  I also really like the style of this speaker, plus it's wireless and Bluetooth compatible!  Overall, I am impressed with this MagicBox II Bluetooth 4.0 Portable Wireless Speaker by DKnight!

I really recommend picking up this speaker for yourself  or it would also make a great gift idea for the music lover in your life!

Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals

*Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals

If Retinol hasn't made it's way into your skincare routine yet I highly suggest that you add it in as soon as possible.  This Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals would make a great choice if your new to the whole Retinol thing.  With only 2.5% Retinol it's a great starting point and would be perfect to use if you are sensitive to Retinol and it's also made with 71% Organic ingredients!

Why should you be using Retinol?  Retinol is a great way to really combat signs of aging.  It can help slough away dead skin cells which means saying goodbye to hyperpigmentation and age spots and it can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and it just helps improve the overall texture and appearance of skin.

Since Retinol helps reveal newer, younger skin it's really important to use sunscreen while using any Retinol product.  I also usually only use products containing Retinol as part of my evening skincare routine to help reduce sun sensitivity.  After all, you don't to sun damage your new, younger looking skin!

Since this Retinol Moisturizer by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals is at a lower dose I like to apply this not only to my face, neck and decollete but I also use it around my eye area.  You can even use it on the tops of your hands if you have age spots there as well.  Or, try using it on the tops of you shoulders where there tends to be a lot of sun damage skin!

Max Ceramide Facial Skin Serum by Serum Seuticals

*Max Ceramide Facial Skin Serum by Serum Seuticals

Here is another serum by Serum Seuticals that I've been testing out for the past few weeks.  This one is one that I've been using after I do my weekly chemicals peels and I've really noticed that my skin seems to heal a little faster and it's not quite as sensitive as it usually is thanks to this Max Ceramide Facial Skin Serum.

I wouldn't be able to use this as an everyday serum because it would be a little to intense for my already oily skin.  However, it would be perfect to use a daily serum if you have dry skin or even issues with Rosacea or Eczema.  That being said, I have been using it at night around my eyes and it really helps soothe my eye area and leaves it feeling hydrated.  It's almost like an overnight mask for the eye are so I definitely recommend trying that out!

The Ceramide component of this serum is what is naturally found in the skin’s vulnerable outer layer and helps it retain moisture.  When skin is irritated, dry or sensitive it usually means that it's lacking in Ceramides.  That's why this serum is so effective at healing and nourishing skin that has been compromised.  It's perfect post-peel serum!

Dreamz Natural Sleep Aid

*Dreamz Natural Sleep Aid

If you follow my blog then you probably already know that I have issues with sleeping.  I always have and I'm guessing I always will.  I have tried pretty much everything out there and I also have a prescription sleep aid for when I really need to get some sleep and nothing else is helping.

However, I always try the natural approach and I love it when I find something that works that I can share with my readers!  Recently, I have been testing our this Dreamz Natural Sleep Aid and I am really impressed with how well it works.  All I need is one capsule and almost immediately I start to feel more relaxed and I fall asleep fairly quickly.  The best part is that I actually stay asleep!  I am able to get at least 5-6 hours of solid sleep using this Dreamz Natural Sleep Aid and for me that is REALLY good!  It also doesn't have any groggy side effects which is really nice because there is nothing worse than feeling half asleep all day.

This natural sleep aid contains a potent combination of Vitamin B-6, Melatonin, Valerian root, Chamomile Flower, Hops flower, Passion Flower, L-Taurine, Inositol, GABA and Skullcap to help you fall asleep and stay asleep and it works!

If you have sleeping issues like I do this Dreamz Natural Sleep Aid is definitely worth checking out!  The only negative that I have is that it doesn't smell very good when you open the bottle.  However, I have not had any issues with burping up anything and the smell seems to stay contained to the bottle and capsules themselves.
