Luxe One Leave-In Hair Treatment by Kenra Professional


If your hair is dry, damaged, frizzy or over processed in any way then you need this Luxe One Leave-In Hair Treatment by Kenra Professional in your life!  
I have tried dozens of leave-in hair treatment and I have to say I think this one is my favorite so far.  After just one use my hair was, softer, shinier and more manageable.  With continued use my hair has become much healthier and stronger.  They are calling it their all-in-one miracle spray and I couldn't agree more!
Enriched with real gold the Luxe One Leave-In Hair Treatment not only repairs dry, damaged hair but it also provides heat protection up to 450 degrees to prevent further damage.  Say goodbye to split and ends and frizz!  It makes hair feel ultra soft, smooth and silky while increasing natural body and manageability.
The Luxe One Leave-In Hair Treatment by Kenra Professional retails for $25.00 for 5 oz over at Ulta.com.  You definitely get a bang for the buck out of this one!

Deep Clean® Purifying Cooling Gel Scrub and the Deep Clean® Purifying Clay Cleanser & Mask by Neutrogena®





Deep Clean® Purifying Cooling Gel Scrub $8.49 for 4.2oz.
Don't let the "acne treatment" statement scare you away from this awesome cleanser or the Deep Clean® Purifying Clay Cleanser & Mask.  I'm almost 45 and I definitely don't have acne and I love both cleansers.
This Purifying Cooling Gel Scrub is especially great if you struggle with combination/oily skin, the occasional breakout or if you just want a little help keeping your skin clean and clear.  I like to use it when my skin starts acting a bit hormonal and it really does keep the breakouts at bay.  It exfoliates, deep cleans pores and leaves skin feeling refreshed, clean, soft and smooth!  This scrub also has Barriercare® technology which helps keep the skin's natural moisture so skin doesn't end up feeling dry or stripped.
I would actually recommend this for all skin types except maybe if you have extremely dry skin.  However, I think all skin can benefit from some exfoliation and some deep cleaning!  The best part is...it's affordable and can be picked up at your local drugstore!
Deep Clean® Purifying Clay Cleanser & Mask $8.49 for 4.2 oz.
I'm a big fan of clay cleansers that you can also use as a mask so this Purifying Clay Cleanser & Mask is right up my alley.
This double duty cleanser/mask is great for drawing out dirt, oil and other impurities from deep within pores.  It's my other new secret weapon that helps keep my skin clean, clear, soft, smooth and healthy looking!  You can use it as a normal daily cleanser or leave it on an additional 5-10 minutes for some extra deep cleaning and skin smoothing results.
Just like the Purifying Cooling Gel Scrub it's a great cleanser/mask even if you use it a just a few times a week to help keep skin in check.  Or, you can use it as spot treatment or as the full mask for when you have the occasional breakout.  Again, you don't have to have problem skin to enjoy all the benefits these Neutrogena cleansers have to offer and they're both worth adding to your skincare arsenal!  $8.49 is a steal for this cleanser/mask!

Purifying Charcoal & Diamond Mask and Exfoliating Coffee & Chocolate Mask by Masked Beauty Skincare




I think in general Masks have become a little bit of an obsession for even just the average person, especially over the last couple of years.  However, I've been on the mask bandwagon since I was a teenager (I'm now almost 45) so taking care of my skin by using a mask is nothing new to me.  However, I am always on the hunt for something new to test out which is where being a beauty blogger comes in handy!
I love getting sent new masks to try out and the lovely peeps over at Masked Beauty Skincare were nice enough to send me over a couple to test out.   I received the Purifying Charcoal & Diamond Mask and the Exfoliating Coffee & Chocolate Mask but they have a total of six to choose from which include a Toning Red Clay, Overnight Pistachio, Moisturizing Ginkgo & Oat and a Soothing Rose & Peony.
The Masked Beauty philosophy is "Premium facial masks with real ingredients you can see, feel and smell." and I couldn't agree more!  The Exfoliating Coffee & Chocolate Mask smells good enough to eat and the Purifying Charcoal & Diamond Mask had a nice earthy smell and they both leave skin feeling rejuvenated.


The Purifying Charcoal & Diamond Mask was a little different than other Charcoal Masks that I've tried.  Usually Charcoal Masks are fairly intense and somewhat drying but this one has a completely different texture to it.  It's much softer and easier on the skin.  It still does a great job at purifying the skin but it also leaves skin feeling extra soft and hydrated and that's after just one use!  It's a really nice change from the typical Charcoal Mask and I give it two thumbs up!


The first thing you notice about the Exfoliating Coffee & Chocolate Mask is the smell and it's smells amazing.  But, I guess if you don't like the smell of coffee or chocolate then you might think it's not so amazing...but really, who doesn't?  I liked it so much I think it actually made me hungry!  This mask also surprised me.  For some reason I wasn't expecting it to be so moisturizing.  Not only does it do a good job at exfoliating but it does a really impressive job at hydrating the skin as well.  Immediately after rinsing off the mask my skin felt refreshed, soft, smooth and hydrated.  This mask also gets two thumbs up from me!

Prices for the Masked Beauty Masks vary but I can tell you they are affordable and can be found at your local Albertsons, Safeway, Meijer,  Hy-Vee and more!

Moon Burn by BeLive


I think a product that targets sleep issues and weight loss is pretty genius if you ask me.  It's a proven fact that sleep can directly effect your weight and I definitely have issues with sleeping and as a result I also have issues with keeping my weight where I want it to be.  Thank goodness I found Moon Burn!
Moon Burn by BeLive combines Melatonin & L-Theanine to naturally help you fall asleep and stay asleep, Garcinia Cambogia to help increase your metabolism and burn extra calories and Apple Cider Vinegar to aid your digestive system.  I can vouch for the fact that these ingredients work together to help regulate your sleep and help you maintain a more healthy weight.
I will admit that I am always the skeptic when it comes to these kind of supplements so of course I was skeptical about this one too.  However, I'm now on my third bottle so I can absolutely say that I've been having great results and they work!  Everyone's body reacts differently to when you introduce a new supplement so I can only share the experience that I've had.  I always recommend you do your own research before you purchase any kind of supplement but I think these are worth trying out!
Besides, you can get a 30 day supply for only $15.50 so your not going to break the bank giving them a try!


You can find Moon Burn by BeLive over on Amazon.com...

Transformation Face Cream by Jan Marini Skin Research


As someone who has aging but oily skin I know how hard it is to find a moisturizer that can deal with all the aspects of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and uneven texture while not being too heavy and adding to my oily skin problem.  And yes, oily skin does need to be moisturized!
Over the years I have been able to find a few that I really like and use on a regular basis.  However, they are usually moisturizers/creams that are made for problematic skin and not necessarily aging skin.  While those worked for me just fine I haven't really been able to use a true anti-aging face cream or moisturizer except at night because they tend to be too heavy for day time use on my oily skin.
Just when I thought all hope was lost in finding my perfect face cream Jan Marini Skin Research saves the day!  Their Transformation Face Cream is exactly what I've been searching for!  It's formulated to help with all visible signs of aging while providing hydration and suppleness to the skin.  It also offers all the benefits of a heavier face cream but it's actually very lightweight, absorbs quickly and helps balance out my oily skin.  It's perfection!  It also works seamlessly with their other serums and their Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33.  My skin just seems to look and feel younger, softer and smoother every time I use it.  Plus, it's great for all skin types, even Acne-Prone! 
I would say this is my new Holy Grail face cream!  But, don't just take my word for it.  It's such a great face cream that it won the 2017 ASCP Skin Deep Readers Choice Award!  
In this case you really get what you pay for. It's definitely one amazing anti-aging cream but it's also a little pricey.  It retails for $105.00 for a 1 oz. jar.  Even with a steep price tag I can't recommend it enough.  If it's in your budget I would definitely check it out, I promise, you won't be disappointed!

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research


When it comes to sunscreen for my face I usually use foundation that contains SPF since I've never really found an actual sunscreen that I love enough to use everyday.  I've just always had a hard time finding a sunscreen for my face that works well with my oily skin.  Most of the sunscreens that I've tried are too thick and leave my skin feeling extra greasy and that's just not a good look!
Then in comes Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 to save the day!  I must admit, even as much as I love every product I've ever tried from Jan Marini Skin Research and even though they promised this Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 to have additional oil control capabilities I was still skeptical.  After all, I've tested hundreds if not thousands of products so I've become accustomed to being let down.  However, being the beauty blogger and product tester that I am I knew I had to try yet again and I am so glad I did.  This SPF is a total game changer for me.  I have been using it over the Transformation Face Cream also by Jan Marini Skin Research (which is another amazing product & a review of that will be on the blog soon so stay tuned!) and under my Bare Minerals foundation and the result is...I could not be happier.  I think I have finally found the perfect combination of products that will protect and treat my skin while keeping my oil in check at the same time!  Miracles really do happen!
The Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research is not your average sunscreen.  It's everything they claim it to be and more.  Not only does this sunscreen provide broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection to minimize the risk of cancer and provide protection but it's also enhanced with antioxidants.  So it also helps treat sun damaged skin as well.  Plus, it's lightweight, goes on like a moisturizer and is easily absorbed and it's Water Resistant up to 80 minutes.  Then there is my favorite part which is the microscopic particles of amazingness that help with oil control.  Genius!
The Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33 by Jan Marini Skin Research retails for $51.00 for 2 oz. and it's worth every penny!

If you do any kind of Yoga, Barre or Pilates then you know having non-slip, non-skid socks is essential. The best kind of Yoga socks are made with natural cotton, sweat absorbing and that will allow your feet to breathe.  I mean, nothing is worse than sweaty feet when you trying to hold a pose!
