Seabuckthorn Skincare Favorites by SBT Seabuckthorn

*Seabuckthorn Skincare Favorites by SBT Seabuckthorn

I've been dying to get my hands on these SBT Seabuckthorn products.  For years I've been hearing all about the amazing things Seabuckthorn can do for the skin so I was super excited to finally get to test out some products with this mysterious Seabuckthorn.

While I really liked all the products I have to say the stand out product was probably the After Sun Crème.  That's only because I got a pretty bad sunburn this summer and the After Sun Crème was my saving grace!  It helped cool and soothe my irritated, red, sensitive skin while keeping it ultra hydrated.  Instead of ugly peeling skin I ended up with a nice even tan and I know it had everything to do with this After Sun Crème.  Great product!

Retails for $18.00 for 2 oz.

Now, if you ask my husband his favorite product would be the Eczema & Dermatitis Soothing Salve.  He gets some really angry dry, itchy patches of Eczema and the Salve immediately helps soothe and hydrate his skin and it definitely helps heal them a lot quicker than some of the other creams he uses.  Plus, since it's a salve, so it lasts a really long time and helps keep the spots protected from further infection and irritation.  I also like to use it on my knees, elbows and heels.  It really helps keep my skin nourished and well hydrated. (Tip: Before bed, put a nice thick layer on your feet, paying special attention to your heels then cover with socks and wake up to soft & smooth feet!)

Retails for $18.00 for 4 oz.

I have to say I also loved the Anti-Aging Skin Cream.  If you love simple but effective skin creams then this would be right up your alley.  It's a great cream that quickly absorbs into the skin leaving it feeling soft, silky and of course, hydrated.  It's also jam packed with 100% pure Seabuckthorn oils that helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles.  Simple perfection.  I especially love using it on my neck and decollete.  I also have to mention that I really appreciate the simple packaging.  Most of my other Anti-Aging creams are in jars which can be a real pain to travel with.  I love that this comes in a user friendly tube.  It's the little things.  Besides, it doesn't hurt that it's a really good Anti-Aging moisturizer too!

Retails for $18.00 for 2 oz.

The next up is the Hand Cream.  I'm a sucker for a good hand cream and this is a great hand cream.  I love how my hands feel after using it.  I have extremely dry hands and nails and just one dime size amount of this Hand Cream and my hands instantly feel better.  Intensely hydrating without being greasy and leaves my hands feeling super soft and nourished.  I also love that it helps heal all the small paper cuts and hang nails I tend to get because of my job.  Plus, it smells pretty great too thanks to the added May Chang Oil which has a light citrus smell.  Love!

Retails for $18.00 for 2 oz.

Finally, the Muscle & Joint Pain Soothing Salve is one that it took me a minute to decide if I liked or not.  I had to use it a handful of times before I really realized how well it worked.  I suffer from A LOT of neck and back pain and have tried pretty much everything under the sun to help alleviate the pain that comes with neck and back problems.  Most of the products that I use have that underlying Menthol or Camphor feel and smell to them and I am actually kind of partial to that feel and smell because it makes me think it's really working.  This Muscle & Joint Pain Soothing Salve doesn't have that so I wasn't sure if it was really working or not but I'm here to tell you that it really does work.  This has become my product of choice while I'm at work.  A little goes a long way and it doesn't have that overpowering Menthol smell.  It's perfect for those mid afternoon neck and shoulder aches and pains.  I just massage a little into my neck and shoulders and within minutes I feel it all melting away.  The secret is in the sauce!  It of course contains Seabuckthorn but it also has Plai, Sweet Birch (which is a natural Aspirin), Sweet Marjoram and Rosemary Oils which all help with inflammation and help to soothe sore and achy joints and muscles.  

Retails for $18.00 for 4 oz.

Somehow I just knew that I would love these products.  I love that they contain all natural and organic ingredients, I love that they work and work really well and that they are really affordable.  SBT Seabuckthorn has a wide range of products.  These 5 are just a small portion of what SBT Seabuckthorn has to offer so I am definitely going to be getting my hands on some others to test out!

Aveda Hair Must Haves for Healthy, Damage Free Hair

*Aveda Hair Must Haves

I was lucky enough to get an entire basket full of Aveda goodies a few months back and I've been busy testing out all of them...and loving every minute of it!    

I decided to break up the products into groups and do my reviews based on the those groupings and decided to start with the hair care products first.  I've been dying to do my reviews of all these amazing Aveda products but summer got the best of me and I have fallen drastically behind.  So, without further ado...

First up and probably my favorite of the bunch is the Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair.  This is the first product I reach for when I get out of shower.  I love putting this in my freshly washed hair.  It detangles and softens my hair while also making it smell amazing.  This is a leave-in hair repair treatment that instantly goes to work to repair damaged, dry hair.  It also helps to protect hair from further damage from heat styling.  My hair has definitely become stronger and healthier because of this one Aveda product.  It feels better, it looks better and it has even grown longer since I've been using this.  I will never be without my Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair!
Retails for $30.00 for 3.4 oz (which lasts FOREVER, a little goes a long way)

Another great Aveda product and one of their best sellers is the Shampure Dry Shampoo.  This quickly became one of my all time favorite dry shampoos.  Not only does it smell amazing but I love that it's a non-aerosol powder.  The fine powder easily absorbs excess oils and it gives hair great volume and texture.  Did I mention it smells amazing too?
Retails for $31.00 for 2 oz. (again, lasts FOREVER)

The other product that has played a huge role in making my hair stronger and healthier is the Damage Ready Split End Repair.  This stuff instantly makes split ends disappear.  A special oil, Nangai Oil, helps to draw the separated ends back together.  The unique formula smooths and seals the ends and also helps prevent any future split ends from forming.  Hair looks and feels soft and smooth.  Beautiful.
Retails for $32.00 for 1oz. (yep, lasts FOREVER and a little goes a long way)

I like to call this next product my Happy Ending (get your mind out of the gutter, lol).  The Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil is a miracle worker.  It instantly transforms dry, brittle and damaged hair to soft, glossy, nourished and manageable hair.  I like to apply a little of this after I've done all my styling but before I add any hairspray.  I work it through my ends and wherever I feel my hair needs a little extra love.  Then I apply my hairspray and finish off with a little more of this Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil to tame any flyaway's and to add just a little more shine.  Happy Ending!
Retails for $30.00 for 1 oz. (this one bottle while easily last a year...or more!)

I am a total Aveda product convert.  I have loved every product I've tried so far, can't wait to try more and I simply love what Aveda as a company is all about.  Besides having exceptional products and being a "green" company and everything that entails they take it a step further by leading by example and being on the forefront of environmental leadership.  Their inspiring Mission Statement says it all..

OUR MISSION AT AVEDA IS TO CARE FOR THE WORLD WE LIVE IN,

FROM THE PRODUCTS WE MAKE TO THE WAYS IN WHICH

WE GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY. AT AVEDA, WE STRIVE TO SET

AN EXAMPLE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP AND RESPONSIBILITY,

NOT JUST IN THE WORLD OF BEAUTY, BUT AROUND THE WORLD.

C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research

*C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research

As a blogger I've tried A LOT different Vitamin C Serums but this C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research is by far the best I've ever used.  It's also the most expensive I've ever used at price tag of $105.00.  However, I've found that when it comes to a good Vitamin C serum you get what you pay for.  Sure, you can buy much cheaper versions of Vitamin C Serum and have some pretty great results, I know I have.  But, if your looking for a serum that will help with smooth out uneven texture, diminish wrinkles and fine lines, firm and tighten skin and help lighten and brighten your complexion then you need this C-ESTA Serum in your life!  Plus, I started to see a difference in my skin texture and pigmentation after just a few days of continued morning and evening use!  It usually takes at least a week or more to notice even a slight difference with the other Vitamin C Serums that I've used.  Seeing such great results so quickly is just another reason that this C-ESTA Serum is worth the extra $.

The C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research is formulated with Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C), Hyaluronic Acid, DMAE and Vitamins (B5 & E) and other powerful ingredients.  Those exceptional ingredients make this serum a potent antioxidant, anti-aging rock star!  It's also perfect for all skin types from acne-prone to dry skin.  Everyone can benefit from this serum!  

The serum itself is very lightweight and thin and it's very important to shake the bottle really well before dispensing product.  Once applied to the skin the serum absorbs almost instantly and works really well with other skincare products like other serums, moisturizers and it even wears well under makeup!

Below is an example of what products I use on a regular basis and what I have been using with the C-ESTA Serum.  These particular products are what I use for my morning skincare routine.  I change it up a bit a night with oils and sometimes I use a different cleanser but I always use the Jan Marini Hyla 3D and the C-ESTA Serum.  They are both worth the investment.

I cannot recommend this C-ESTA Serum enough!  This serum delivers clinical results but at a much lower cost than you would pay for an office visit and a prescription!

You can purchase the C-ESTA Serum by Jan Marini Skin Research at janmarini.com and it retails for $105.00 for 8 oz.

Organic Castor Oil by Shiny Leaf

*Organic Castor Oil by Shiny Leaf

There is no need to spend a ton of money on those expensive Eye Lash/Eye Brow serums when you can just use this Organic Castor Oil and achieve the same results!
Actually Castor Oil has many uses beyond helping hair grow.  It also has many therapeutic uses like preventing the growth of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and molds, reduces itching and swelling on the skin, healing fungal infections, can also help increase circulation as well, among other things.
However, Castor Oil really can work wonders on the hair!  Not only can it help hair grow faster but it can help it grow thicker, stronger and make it shinier as well.  I like to do a Castor Oil Hair Mask a couple times a week to keep my hair happy and healthy.  I massage Castor Oil into my roots and scalp and then work it through to the ends of my hair, cover it with a cap and then leave in on overnight.  If I don't feel like sleeping with the Castor Oil in my hair I will wait until I have a day at home and just put it on in the morning and wash it out before I go to bed.  I will also use this Organic Castor Oil on the ends of my hair to help tame flyaways and frizzies!
So, if you've been thinking about spending your hard earned cash on one of those pricey Eye Lash Serum then why not give this Organic Castor Oil a try first?  It even comes with a handy Eye Lash Wand to apply the Castor Oil to your lashes and eyebrows!
The Organic Castor Oil by Shiny Leaf retails for only $12.16 4oz.

You can find this Organic Castor Oil by Shiny Leaf over on Amazon.com...
