Relogy 3-Piece Acne Treatment System

4/13/2015

Holy AMAZING product! I can't say I'm surprised since this product is getting a lot of hype online these days. When my Relogy 3-Piece Acne Treatment System came in I immediately washed my face to I could try it out. Lately I've been getting these pesky little pimple around my jawbone and my chin. I'm not sure if it's the weather or a new foundation that I've been using, but this acne can't stay. It's gotta go!!

I took some pictures of the Relogy 3-Piece Acne Treatment System and read the directions. When I used the Step 1 for the first time I used a whole pump on my face. It was WAY too much. It doesn't look like much in your hand, but once you start spreading it around on your skin you realize that the foam gets foamier. I could have used half a pump on my skin and it would have covered the areas that I needed.

I've been using Relogy for 4 days now and there isn't a pimple, blackhead or whitehead to be found on my face. My face feels smoother and honestly it feels more hydrated. I love this product! I love that it's PETA friendly and none of it has been tested on animals. The ingredients aren't harmful to my skin and it's extremely easy to use. The only draw back for me is such a tiny one... I don't like the smell of Step 1. My friend used it and she didn't notice the smell very much, but I thought it had a strong citrus scent. I loved the smell of the lotion which goes on after the cleanser so I end up smelling the lotion once everything is all said and done. The lotion smells like a clean coconut and beach smell.

The smell isn't everything when it comes to this product, the results are. My skin is clear, smooth and hydrated and my complexion has never looked better. I highly recommend trying Relogy 3-Piece Acne Treatment System out. You can buy it on Amazon by clicking the link below.

It went on so smoothly and after about a minute it soaked into my skin. It didn't leave my skin dry, but I wanted to make sure that I was doing the program correctly so I moved onto Step 2. This step was just the moisturizer to make sure my face doesn't dry out. When I put that on my face I immediately felt my skin get hydrated. One pump of Step 2 worked well for my whole face and neck.

I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review. I love trying out new products for my skin especially because my skin is very sensitive and I can give feedback that helps others when they have sensitivities. Foxbrim's Vitamin C Lotion has a lot of great ingredients that I can't help but love. It's packed with Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil. The Shea Butter gives it a nice creamy texture that seems to smell wonderful. The Aloe vera and the Jojoba oil seem to help hydrate my face in areas that seem to get dry in the colder months.

I really like how thick the lotion is because it seems to go on more smoothly without feeling wet. The smell is light and I almost wish it had more of a commercialized "shea butter" smell which is similar to coconut or summertime. This one doesn't have much of a smell.

I started using the Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion in the morning before I put my makeup on and it took no time at all to dry. It went on a lot like a primer. When I first applied my foundation I noticed that it covered my face better and without streaks because of the moisture that the Vitamin c Lotion was giving my skin. I was able to apply a finishing powder and it held up all day. I was afraid that it would make my makeup look oily, but it didn't. If anything, I felt like my makeup looked flawless longer than it normally does when I don't use anything under my foundation.

When I washed my face and reapplied the lotion it felt cool and refreshing and I could feel it hydrating my skin immediately. I'm in the sun all the time and I noticed that after I had washed the makeup off of my face my skin wasn't pink like normal. It was refreshed looking and almost had a glow to it. The Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion claims to effectively lighten spots and discoloration and the only thing I can say is that it definitely helped me with the discoloration. I didn't notice that it reduced my wrinkles, but I've only been using it for a couple of weeks. I'm going to keep using it for a few more weeks and see how I feel about it reducing the look of my wrinkles.

Youth Express Eye Gel from InstaNaturals

Youth Express Eye Gel from InstaNaturals

Youth Express Eye Gel from InstaNaturals

I was asked to do a review for Youth Express Eye Gel from InstaNaturals in return for a bottle of their product. I've done review for this company before and I like the fact that they don't test on animals, the products are made in the USA. Their products use natural ingredients with NO parabens, sulfates or alcohol. These are some key factors when I'm buying products that go on my skin. I like knowing that the product and ingredients come from the USA.

The Youth Express Eye Gel comes in an easy to use pump system that pumps out the perfect amount of product for my skin. I pumped it into my hand and I massaged my hand together. Then I massaged it onto my clean face and neck, making sure to cover my forehead, cheeks, nose, chin and even eye lids. The Youth Express Eye Gel product is light enough to not bother my eyes and strong enough to where you can feel it tightening immediately. The tightening feeling comes from the ingredients inside that harden when they dry. It's a very refreshing feeling and I find that after just a few minutes my face feels hydrated and almost like I stepped out of the shower.

Here are some of InstaNaturals key features and benefits;

Youth Express Eye Gel contains a potent combination of ingredients for maximum results. Hyaluronic Acid hydrates the skin and plumps it up with moisture, while Matrixyl 3000 firms the skin and Plant Stem Cells enhance its strength to protect against sun damage and other external aggressors.

Personally I love the smell of this product. The Youth Express Eye Gel has a refreshing cucumber and aloe smell to it. It's clean feeling and makes my skin feel smooth and soft. I also felt that after I used it daily for over a week that my face had a better more consistent complexion. My bags underneath my eyes weren't there after a few days of use. I felt like it may have lightened the skin under my eyes or tighten it up a little more than normal. I like using the Youth Express Eye Gel before I put my make-up on for the day because I feel like it's a good base.

If you want to purchase your own you can do so by going to Amazon. They have a 100% money back guarantee.

Rosehip Oil

Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals

Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals

I was asked to do a review on Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals in return for a free bottle of the product. When I received the Rosehip Oil I wanted to do some research to find out what would make this product better than the rest. First of all the Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals is 100% Pure 4 Oz - Certified Organic Cold Pressed Highest Quality Rose Hip Seed Oil. The fact that it's cold press makes a world of difference when it comes to the quality of the product. Just like Coconut oil it can lower the quality when they use heat to pull the oil from the plant.

Some of the benefits to using Rosehip Oil can help heal or lighten scars, stretch marks, acne and eczema. It can be used on dry skin to help replenish the body with the moisture that it needs. They say that Rose Hip Oil can help bring body and shine back into color treated hair. Rosehip Oil is often used for aromatherapy, especially for aromatherapy skin care and massage.

Rosehip Oil and Dropper Review

Rosehip Oil and Dropper

For me personally I don't like the smell of Rosehip Oil. It's light, but the smells lingers for too long on my skin. However, I wanted to try the product out on a couple scars that I have and on my hair. I rubbed to Rosehip Oil onto a small scar that I have on my forearm and on my knee. The scar on my forearm is pretty recent and I was hoping that it would make the scar lighten up. The scar on my knee is already light and I was hoping that it would somehow heal the scar some more so it wouldn't be so noticeable when I get a tan.

I found that when I put the Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals on my knee it didn't seem to help it, even after a couple weeks of application. The scar on my forearm did seem to lighten up after the first week. I keep applying it daily to my forearm in hopes that it will make it almost disappear. Either way, I'm very happy with the results on my forearm after using the Rosehip Oil.

I also used some of the Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals on my hair after I blow dried it. I would wash my hair and put some product in it and then I would blow dry it. After my hair was completely dry and styled I'd put a few drops of the Rosehip Oil onto the palm of my hand and I would rub my hands together. After my hands were covered with a light coating of the oil I would run my hands through my hair to coat the strands. I loved how it made my hair look shiny and healthy, but I didn't feel like it did anything for the body. It didn't weigh it down which is a good thing, because sometimes even Argan oil can weigh it down. This is were I had a problem with the smell. You have to REALLY like the smell of Rosehip Oil because once it's on your hair it seems to stay with you until you wash your hair again. The results on the Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals were great, but I personally couldn't do it more than a couple times because of the lingering smell.

I got my Rosehip Oil from Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals from Amazon, but you should be able to find it at health food stores as well. The 4oz bottle will last a long time if you're only needing it for small areas of your body or for medium length hair. You can find the cost to be around $20-$25.00 a bottle and I would imagine that one bottle would last about 3 months. It's a pretty good deal for the quality and the capabilities that the product offers.

Indian Healing Clay

2/12/2015

Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure

Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure

I was asked to do a review for the Indian Healing Clay by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals in return for free product. Indian Healing Clay Powder is made of 100% Pure Sodium Bentonite. 16 oz of it to be exact. The Indian Healing Clay Powder is a therapeutic grade product that is best used for facial skin care, deep skin pore cleansing, detoxifying, revitalizing and balancing the PH in you skin.

Sodium Bentonite has electromagnetic properties that make it very absorbent which will help draw out metals and toxins from your skin. The Indian Healing Clay Powder by Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals is made in the USA and you can purchase it knowing that it's risk free on Amazon.

When I received the Indian Healing Clay I had to read the directions thoroughly because I wasn't sure how to go about mixing up my own clay mask. IT WAS SO EASY!! Since I needed to take pictures I decided to use my clean counter top to mix the Indian Clay Powder with water. Once the Indian Healing Clay was mixed with water it had a very earthy smell to it. I kinda liked it because it reminded me of going to an expensive spa and getting a treatment done. After reading the directions and following them to a "T" I was able to get the perfect consistency and I applied it to my face. While I was spreading it on my face and massaging it in as it suggests, I could feel it lightly tingling for the next 10 minutes or so while it dried. I could probably have added more on my face to make it a little thicker, but I was nervous because my skin is pretty sensitive.

Although the tingling sensation had me feeling nervous that I was having an allergic reaction, it subsided as the product started to dry. As the product was drying on my face I could feel it tightening up. It didn't crack as much as most masks that I've tried, which definitely leave a mess everywhere. I also found that it was really easy to wash off with warm water and then drying my face with a towel.

In my opinion the results were incredible. My face felt so fresh, clean and just PURE I loved every minute of it. I couldn't wait to put some moisturizer on because I wanted my freshly opened pores to soak up the moisturizing goodness. The Indian Healing Clay was awesome and the only negative is that it recommends only using it once a week. I'd love to feel like I'm going to the spa at least 3 times a week if I could.

If you want to buy your own container you can do so on Amazon by clicking on the links. Right now the price is about $13.00 for a container of 16 oz. I think if you use it on a weekly basis this product should last about 6 months. That is a hundred times the savings from a mud mask at a spa.

Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil

Even for people who aren't into home remedies Peppermint Oil can be a great addition to any household. I was recently asked to do a review on Majestic Pure's Peppermint Essential Oil in return for a free bottle of product. Peppermint Oil is typically a well known accepted scent and it can often be used in flavoring as well as diluted on the body for remedies.

The Majestic Pure Peppermint Essential Oil came in a large 4oz tinted glass bottle. The eye dropper that comes with it is clear and it makes it easy to see how much essential oil is in the tube. Some of the healing/helpful uses for essential peppermint oil are as follows:

Supports Digestive & Respiratory Health
Eases Stomach & Head Discomfort
Helps relief from headaches, migraines and anxiety
Prevents Clogging of Pores and Outbreak of Acne
Helps to Keep SPIDERS, MICE, ROACHES, FLEAS & ANTS Away

When I first used the Majestic Pure Peppermint Essential Oil it was late at night when I couldn't breathe through my nose because of a cold. I was so tired of using the nasal sprays because it burned as it dripped down my throat. I added a few drops of the peppermint essential oil to a tissue and started to breathe in from my nose. At first nothing was happening, but I could feel the cool tingly aroma working it's way into my nasal cavity. Within 10 minutes I was breathing through my nose again. I'm not going to say that it fixed my cold because it didn't, but it did give me a few hours of easy breathing.

I have a friend that is trying to get rid of some ants on her counter in her kitchen and we've been looking for a healthy non chemical way of getting the ants to disappear. I can't wait to bring over the bottle of peppermint oil so we can take a few drops and rub it along the edge of the counter.

The Majestic Pure Peppermint Essential Oil really is a great product and it has a ton of uses. If you haven't thought about getting into the essential oils before, I'd suggest reading up on them and maybe starting with one as simple as the peppermint oil. They have a 100% GUARANTEE if you purchase it through Amazon and you don't like it.

True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel

True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel Bottle

True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel Bottle

I was asked to try out the True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel and they gave me a free full size bottle. The first thing I noticed was it came in a unique pump style bottle with very professional packaging. Most of the eye serums that I've tried have come in an eye dropper style bottle and it was refreshing to have an easy pump style.

True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel uses cucumber and aloe to help relieve swelling under eyes and to help eliminate dark circles. They also use glycyrrhiza glabra root extract which is also known as licorice. When this part of the licorice root is used in skin care it acts as an anti-inflammatory and soothing anti-irritant. Many people with a condition called Rosacea use licorice to help lessen the pink tone in their skin. I love that True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel uses the licorice because I haven't seen it in many eye serums and gels before.

Soothing Eye Gel pump bottle

When I first used the True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel I made sure to wash my face and use my toner before application. This gave me a completely clean canvas to work on. I will say that my skin is very sensitive and it made my skin blush in the areas of application while it was still wet. Once it dries I could see that the blushing had gone away and I could begin to feel it tightening on my face. It almost felt like a little face lift or something. (Not that I've had a face lift, but it just felt more firm).

I used the True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel in the morning while I was getting ready for work. After the gel had dried on my face I added my moisturizer and went on to put my makeup on. I didn't notice anything different with how my makeup was applied or how long it lasted. When I took my makeup off at night I noticed that normally I have dark circles under my eyes after a long day and after the first use they weren't really visible. I ended up washing my face and applying some more eye gel before I went to bed. The blushing effect happened again, but no irritation or anything.

I can see that the True Skin Care Soothing Eye Gel is a good product and it would work easily with almost any skin regime. I like that the company is small and that the product is made in the USA. The only thing that I would like to see is a percentage of how much of the product is natural and organic. Other than that I think this product does the job that it says it does and for the price it's a good buy. Check it out on Amazon by clicking here.

True Skin Care is offering $10.00 off to my readers by using the code TRUEFORU on Amazon. this code will be good until January 23, 2015.

Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum - 100%

1/13/2015

Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum pump bottle

Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum pump bottle

I had been asked to do a review on Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum in which they sent me a bottle to try for free. To start with I want to explain what Hyaluronic Acid does for your skin. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) also known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate, is a carbohydrate. It occurs naturally in the body and more importantly its function in the body is, amongst other things, to bind water and to lubricate movable parts of the body, such as joints and muscles. Because it works so well with water it can be considered the a natural moisturizer for the body.

Okay okay, enough boring stuff and back to the review. When I received this product the first thing I noticed was that it came in a bottle with a pump system on it. I LOVE that part. Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum comes in a dark glass bottle to protect the ingredients inside and the pump system makes it easy to dole out the perfect amount of product to be used under both eyes. While following the directions I noticed that it wants me to wash my face and leave my face damp. The reason for this is because the product is concentrated and the HA works best with water. It creates a gelatinous mixture which helps keep the moisture in and soaks into the top layers of the skin which help keep it feeling firm.

Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum

When I applied the Joyal Beauty HA Serum under my eyes I noticed that my skin started to feel cool and moist immediately. Even once the serum dried I felt as though my skin was refreshed. It did make my skin feel a little tacky, but I'm sure that's just the HA doing its job. I did notice that because of the tackiness of the product I wouldn't wear it under my makeup, but I could wear it before a workout or playing volleyball. It's supposed to be a good UVB protective shield and with the moisture that it leaves it could only help out door here in Florida.

I've only been using the Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum for a few days, but I will say that my face looks more hydrated and healthy. I'm sure if I continue to use it on dry areas of my skin or sore joints it will make a big difference in the feel and look of my skin. The Joyal Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Serum is 100% Natural! 100% Vegan! Alcohol-Free! Chemicals-Free! Parabens-Free! Oils-Free! GMO-Free! On Amazon it sells for under $17.00 for 1 fl oz which I would say it will probably last about 2 to 3 months depending on how often you use it. For once daily I would say that should last almost 3 months.

Naturalico Vitamin C & E Serum

1/12/2015

I was asked to do a review for the Naturalico Vitamin C & E Serum. Unlike most Vitamin C Serums this one has vitamin E as well. Vitamin E can help block free radicals which can slow down the look of aging. When used properly it can help reduce the sign of lines and age spots. Most eye serums don't use vitamin E because it has a thicker consistency and can sometimes feel greasy. The benefits of using a serum with vitamin E don't rest at making your skin look youthful, but it can also improve the look of dry skin, reduce the look of scars and it can help with hair growth if used in other forms.

While I love that the Naturalico Eye Serum has both vitamin C & E in it, it really only works best at night because of the vitamin E. I found that when I used the product under my makeup it caused my foundation powders to flake throughout the day. I also found my skin to feel a little more greasy than normal.

Although I don't feel that this product should be used in the day underneath makeup I do feel that this product is potent enough to use at night after you wash your face. I began using the product after washing my face and patting it dry. I used a few drops underneath both eyes and up towards the outside of my brow bone. Then I would add my moisturizer to the rest of my face. After a few days of using Naturalico Vitamin C & E I noticed that my crows feet weren't as obvious and I had little to no dark circles under my eyes. I also noticed that my eyes looked brighter when I'd apply makeup the next day. It definitely has some wonderful benefits if you continually use the product.

The Naturalico Eye Serum product comes in a tinted bottle to keep sun light out so it won't jeopardize the quality of the product inside the bottle. The eye dropper is easy to use and it helps keep the air out. I typically use a few drops in between two fingers and I massage the product in a circular motion under my eyes. Try not to pull too hard on your skin because over time this area loses elasticity and the pulling can create more loose skin or bags under your eyes. If you're worried about pulling the skin try patting the product on gently with a makeup sponge.

The Naturalico Vitamin C & E Serum says that it uses Pure 98% Natural 72% Organic ingredients. The use only the finest of natural ingredients like pure sea buckthorn oil, organic hyaluronic acid and organic rosehip oil are included in our revolutionary formula. The Naturalico Eye Serum is made in the USA and you can find it on Amazon for about $19.00 for a 1 ounce bottle. I figure with a few drops under each eye and with only applying once a day this bottle should last me about 3 months. That's not too bad considering I really did notice a difference in the brightness of my skin. Check it out for yourself.

Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum

Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum

Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum

I was asked to do an honest review on the Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum and they sent me a bottle free of charge. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Vitamin C Serums they are used to hydrate the skin and help brighten areas of the skin while lightening dark spots. Vitamin C Serum can be considered a low impact sunscreen that helps guard from UV rays. Products such as Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum are highly concentrated and work well if tested on a small area of the skin first. Some people with sensitive skin may see irritation before they see results. Check with a doctor if irritation occurs.

When I first received the Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum I read through the instructions and ingredients. A few things that I noticed that were different from other Vitamin C Serums is this one has 72% organic ingredients and can be considered environmentally friendly because it has no dioxanes, parabens, or animal testing. The packaging is pretty standard as well. The bottle is dark and almost opaque which keeps the product safe from light. The eye dropper system allows for little air to enter into the bottle which would jeopardize the quality of the product.

Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum Eye Dropper

Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum Eye Dropper

The instructions are standard to all Vitamin C Serums and as it mentions you should wash your face an use a toner before applying the product. The product is liquid and it has an eye dropper to help with application. Although it isn't mentioned I would make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before using your finger tips to apply the serum. Take a few drops and add them to your finger tips and lightly pat around the underside of your eye and around your crows feet area. For those of you that have worry lines you can pat around them as well. Steer clear of your eyes or eye lid as this product is highly concentrated.

When I applied Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum drops to my under eye area I noticed that it only had a light fragrance and nothing that smelled like chemicals. The product is made mostly of water and oil based ingredients, but it didn't leave my face feeling greasy. It did however leave my face feeling hydrated and once it was dry it made it feel a little tight. This is normal. After applying the Clarigenics Vitamin C Serum and letting it dry I added my moisturizer and later put on my makeup.

After using this product for a few days I noticed a considerable difference in my crows feet. They were less visible and my baggy eyes seemed lighter. This product is very useful and I would consider using it for more dark spots in the future. The pricing is much better than other serums out there and much less expensive than the under eye creams that most companies push.
