Facial Blotting Paper by Day by Day Beauty-Review



Ask me what an oily skin girls best friend is and I will tell you, blotting paper!  Even at my age, which is 41, I still have oily skin and I literally use blotting paper several times a day.  Trust me I have tried every product known to man to help with my my shiny face and most work to some degree but it never fails that at some point during the day I will need to bring out the blotting papers.
By the way, not all blotting papers are created equal!  As someone who has probably tried every blotting paper on the market I am very picky about my blotting papers.  I am not a fan of those silky type sheets, I like the paper kind and in my opinion they are way more effective at absorbing oil.
Recently Day by Day Beauty sent me 2 packages of their Facial Blotting Paper to try out and review for them.  Each package comes with 100 sheets that are made of premium-grade, natural pulp fiber that quickly absorbs unwanted oil and it does it without disturbing your makeup!  (I think I'm supposed to share the 2nd package they sent me with my girlfriends but I am pretty sure I need it more than they do!).  These are excellent quality blotting papers and just another great product from Day by Day Beauty!

Go to DaybyDayBeauty.com for more information or to purchase these Facial Blotting Papers or check out some of their other products.  I have also tried their Vitamin C Serum and their Hyaluronic Acid Serum and they are fabulous too!  You can order by clicking on the link below...

100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil by Skinology Beauty Solutions-Review


I think Rosehip Oil is one of those under-used oils.  For me, Rosehip Oil is a front runner right along Aragan Oil in terms of the skincare benefits that is offers.  Skinology Beauty Solutions sent me their generous 4oz. bottle of 100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil to review for them and I have been really impressed with it's effectiveness.  Pure and Organic really is the only way to go when it comes to oils and Skinology Beauty Solutions knows how to do it right!

I use Rosehip Oil for just about everything I have even been known to put it all over my body after I get of the shower.  Not only is it super hydrating and nourishing but it can treat a wide range of skin issues that include fine lines & wrinkles, dry skin, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation and even stretch marks!  
I like to use the Rosehip Oil around my eyes, neck and decollete before bed.  I just take one drop and press it into the skin around both my eyes and the use another drop on my neck and gently smooth in the oil using upward strokes and then I use a few more drops on my decollete and massage them in.  The oil is lightweight and soaks into the skin almost immediately leaving your skin visibly hydrated and with a radiant glow!

You can purchase this huge 4oz. bottle on Amazon.com for only $20.95!  At 4oz. it will last for ages!

Vitamin C Serum by Skinology Beauty Solutions-Review



With all the Vitamin C Serums on the market right now it's really easy to get confused with which one to buy.  I have been really blessed and have had the opportunity to try out some really great Vitamin C Serums like this one from Skinology Beauty Solutions.  It's a 98% Natural, 72 % Organic blend of Clinical Strength 20% Vitamin C & Vitamin E, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid, Ferulic Acid and Antioxidant Amino Complex.  These powerful ingredients helps with all kinds of skin issues like minimizing the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines, age spots, skin discoloration, acne and will even help eliminate free radicals & boost collagen production.
I use Vitamin C Serum in both my morning and evening skincare routines after cleansing but before I apply moisturizer and apply to my face, neck, decollete and to my shoulders  The serum is really lightweight so it quickly absorbs into the skin leaving it hydrated, nourished, soft and smooth!
Not only is this Vitamin C Serum made with natural and organic ingredients but it's also formulated without alcohol, parabens, sulfates and never tested on animals!  For more detailed info or to purchase go to Amazon.com or click on the link below...

Forskolin Extract by Premium Pure-Review



I have talked about the supplement Forskolin on my blog before and why I am such a huge fan of it.  I really think it's one of those supplements that gives you that little extra boost toward your weight loss or weight maintenance goals and I take it on a semi-regular basis.  I have been taking this 250mg one by Premium Pure for the past several weeks and I feel like it has really helped me stay on track.  I workout almost everyday and I watch what I eat and try to make healthy food choices whenever possible with the occasional treat (cuz you gotta treat yourself or you will go insane,or at least I will!).  Even though I live a healthy lifestyle I still struggle with being at the weight I want to be at and it's mostly because my metabolism is a lot slower than it used to be (yeah, I'm old now) so whenever I feel like I need a metabolism boost or an extra energy boost I always turn to Forskolin.  I am allergic to coffee so supplements like this, that give me a little extra energy boost are a godsend to me!
This Forskolin by Premium Pure are potent 250mg veggie caps and they are safe, all natural and vegan.  They are the perfect addition to any weight loss or weight maintenance program!


Go to Amazon.com for more information or to purchase the Forskolin Extract by Premium Pure or just click on the link below...

Ocean Minerals Tonic by OZ Naturals-Review



I don't know what it is but I have become completely obsessed with spray facial toners & tonics lately!  Seriously, I use them several (if not more) times a day!  
The newest one to add to my obsession has been this Ocean Minerals Tonic from OZ Naturals.  I just love the way if feels when the mist hits my skin.  I use it in the a.m. after I wash my face, I just apply about 3 sprays and let it soak in for a few seconds and while my skin is still slightly damp I follow with my serums, like the Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum and my other moisturizers.  The Ocean Minerals Tonic smells amazing, sort of like the ocean and a summer breeze all rolled into one.  It contains glycolic acid, ocean minerals, vitamin c & amino acids that help heal and restore your skin.  If I am at home during the day I will spritz my face at least a couple more times and if I have somewhere to go after work I will do even few more sprays to help revive my makeup.  I also use it as part of my evening skincare routine and I apply just like I do in the a.m.  I love that this tonic balances out my skin, helps diminish fine lines & wrinkles and leaves my skin with radiant glow!

Go to OzNaturals.com and check out this tonic and their other products!  You can also purchase the Ocean Minerals Tonic by OZ Naturals on Amazon.com or by clicking on the link below...

Konjac Sponge by La Lune Naturals Review + Giveaway



Have you had a chance to get your hands on a Konjac Sponge yet?  These sponges are the "it" thing in skincare right now and rightly so!  Luckily, I have been able to try out several different kinds over the last few months.  Most recently I have been using the 100% Pure Konjac Sponge that La Lune Naturals sent me to review for them.  These sponges are amazing, the konjac fibers massage away impurities and toxins and gently exfoliate & remove dead skin cells to reveal soft, smoother skin that looks more radiant.  After just a few uses I noticed a difference in my skin and it has really helped keep those nasty blackheads and other face demons at bay!
The great thing about the La Lune Naturals sponges is that you get a 2 pack for only $12.99 via Amazon and usually you have to pay about $10.00 per sponge so it's a great savings.  Each sponge should last anywhere from 2-4 months and is made from the sustainable konjac plant, is free of chemicals, parabens, sulphates and is biodegradable.  Plus, the Konjac Sponge by La Lune Naturals is cruelty-free and vegan!
Have you tried a Konjac Sponge yet?  Well, now is your chance!  La Lune Naturals has generously offered to give away a 2-Pack of 100% Pure Konjac Sponges to one of my lucky readers!  Giveaway starts 02/16/15 @ 11 a.m. PST and ends 02/23/15 @ 11 a.m. PST.  Good Luck!
