WattsBeauty Signature Wrinkle Retinol-R Lipoic/Glycolic Acid Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum Review

I've received great quality Vegan Skin Care Products from WattsBeauty! The Signature Wrinkle Retinol-R Lipoic/Glycolic Acid Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum was 1 of them.  It doesn't contain Chemical Fragrances, Parabens, or Fillers & most importantly is not tested on animals :-) So thumbs up for that! If you or someone you know is struggling w/ Wrinkles & undereye circles, using a natural Product like this one (on a regular basis) can help prevent further skin damage!

The Ingredient Hyaluronic Acid in this Product is good for all skin types out there & can help slow down the aging process (by firming & plumping the skin)! As we age, our skin loses moisture & becomes loose (due to the loss of elastic tissue), which makes Hyaluronic Acid an essential Ingredient to achieve a more youthful appearance. 

WattsBeauty Face Serum also has 1% Retinol in it.  For those who do not know, Retinol Products work well on both Acne & Wrinkles! Though, one should keep in mind to stay away from the sun when using them (skin can get very sensitive afterwards).  You can also use WattsBeauty Signature Wrinkle Retinol-R Lipoic/Glycolic Acid Hyaluronic Acid Face Serum to help get rid of scars & age spots.  The Glycolic Acid in it is effective in treating scars that are left behind! 

All in all-I recommend it! You can apply some before Makeup, & follow up w/ a Moisturizer (whichever you prefer). 

Plus, it donates to Cancer Research Foundations & Womans and Codes Refuge Centers <3 It's worth a try :)

Fusion of Color Cosmetics Review

When it comes to Makeup, I  like to use Vegan, Cruelty & Gluten Free Makeup! So, I figured that I'd share my thoughts w/ some of you out there, who want more insight on some Vegan Brands- like Fusion of Color Cosmetics :-)







Fusion of Color Cosmetics is unique & made for all skin types!  Their Products are all free of Parabens, Talc, Oil & Dyes-which is good for those who have sensitive skin! They're made from our Earth's real Minerals & Inorganic Ingredients.  Fusion of Color Cosmetics are also long lasting-which is a plus (in saving money)! They have a pretty good consistency & apply just as well as some high end expensive Makeup out there!


In the Mail, I have received 2 Matte Eyeshadows-One in BONE & the other in BLACK.  I liked the smoothness of these two! BONE makes a good base & can be used as a Highlighter on top of the cheekbones or brow bones! It's simple & you can incorporate it into your everyday Makeup Look (if you'd like) :-) While on the other hand, BLACK is very pigmented.  You can even use it as an Eyeliner alone.  Both Shadows are creamy & blend well! Making the Eye Makeup Application quick & easy-ready to go :)

Another Fusion of Color Cosmetics Product I received was the "Lip Magic." It's a Lip Plumping Gloss & makes a good Primer underneath Lipstick or Gloss! & if you're like me & suffer from dry lips here and there, you might want to give this Lanolin Based Lip Treatment a try =)


Now onto the next Product that I got...SAND Cream Concealer :) It has a smooth & creamy coverage that is not overly heavy.  I feel that this Product is good for Spring/Summer time! It feels light on the skin & all that's left is just setting it w/ Powder :-)


Lastly, I received the "Luxury Liner Mineral Waterproof Pencil."  For me, finding a good Eyeliner was a a struggle, but not anymore.  Fusion of Color Cosmetics has created one that glides on so easily & is smudge proof.  It saves me so much time in my Makeup routine :) (I wish that I found out about this Liner sooner).  It also has Vitamin E (which is amazing for our skin & eye area) as well as Anti-Aging Fruit & Veggie Extracts (of Kiwi, Avocado, Grape Seed, Pear, Tomato, & Lemon).  All in all-good quality Vegan Makeup! (w/ no cute Animals being tortured)

 
I recommend Fusion of Color Cosmetics to everyone!

ST.TROPEZ SELF TAN Bronzing Lotion Review

So happy I received this! It's everything I thought it would be :-) It's long-lasting, natural-looking & has a fresh awesome aroma (must be from the Aloe Vera in it).  No need to spend too much time outdoors anymore.  ST. TROPEZ got me covered w/ this one :)

Another great thing about ST. TROPEZ SELF TAN Bronzing Lotion is that it has a thick consistency, which means that a little bit of it goes a long way :) I <3 the deep rich tan it gives me after only a couple of minutes of applying it on.  It doesn't make me look orange either! So kudos to that :-) Look sun-kissed without spending many hours under the sun.

All in all- I recommend it! One of the rare Tanning Lotions out there without a funky scent.  Convenient for those who are busy & want to save time.  You can mix it w/ some Body Lotion if you find it to be too dry.

4MyEarth Review

Lovely handmade reusable Eco-friendly Products :-) I received insulated Lunch Bags, a cuteSandwich Wrap, & a Snack Pocket to keep all of my Foods fresh.  4MyEarth Bags are beautifully designed w/ Florals, Birds, & Polka Dot patterns! They are convenient & you can take them w/ you on the go.  They also are a great alternative to Plastic Wraps!

Another awesome thing about them-You can wash them in the Washing Machine or Dishwasher :) & if you dislike carrying Food & Snacks in Plastic Containers or Ziploc Bags then you might find this easier & better.  4MyEarth Products are Food safe, non-toxic, PVC & BPA free.  Anyone can use them-Adults & kids (of all ages). 

They come in many different sizes (small or large) & store so much.  You can pack Sandwiches, Cheese, Nuts, Rolls & Apple Slices in them.  I highly recommend 4MyEarth Products! They're great for picnics, road trips, & camping! Plus they last a long time.

Try it out :-) While helping the environment (reduce landfill waste).  Little changes like this can make a difference <3

Living Natural ADVANCED PROBIOTIC Review

1st time getting these :-) I've heard some good things about Probiotic Supplements & wanted to see what they were about.  

For those who do not know what Probiotics are, they are live good bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy.  They also help w/ stomach pains (like cramps, & bloating) as well as immunity & blood pressure.  If you have any of these issues, consult w/ a Doctor beforehand.

Another cool thing about Living Natural ADVANCED PROBIOTICS-They don't require refrigeration, & you can take them on an empty stomach.  Unlike other Supplements, you can take them right when you wake up & be good to go :) 

All in all-Good energy booster to include in your everyday routine! I recommend it especially to those who have took lots & lots of Medication over the past years & want a good cleanse!

ATAL ADVANTAGE VELVET EYE SERUM Review

Good job ATAL! With another Serum that I like! But this time, it's one is for the eyes :-) ATAL'S EYE SERUM is for both men & women who want to look young & reduce the appearance of their fine lines & wrinkles.  It contains Natural Ingredients w/ 3 Peptide Complexes (Haloxyl, Matrixyl, & Eyeliss) in it, as well as Hyaluronic Acid being the main one.  They all work together pretty well in achieving that plumpy, firm, tight & bright complexion! So if your goal is to have healthier & vibrant skin, this Anti-Aging product is supposed to do that for ya :)

It's named Velvet for a reason.  It spreads smoothly & is gentle on the skin.  It's Fragrance-Free & there's nothing too harsh or toxic in it, making it suitable for all skin types :-) I have very sensitive skin & didn't have any problems w/ using this Product-No reactions burns, nothing.  Good to use in the morning & night! It also makes a good base for your eye Makeup!

I recommend it! Cool packaging, light-weight, fast absorbing, hydrating & non greasy :)

LOVE FOR HUMANITY organics FRESH FOAMING CLEANSER LAVENDER & VANILLA Review

I am not big on Foaming Cleansers, but wanted to try LOVE FOR HUMANITY organics FRESH FOAMING CLEANSER since it contains Lavender in it (a soothing & calming scent) & is a Natural Anti-Aging Skin Care Product :-) Lavender helps treat inflammations & improves blood circulation! It has a beautiful aroma <3 Helps get rid of headaches, infections & Anxiety!  I noticed change in my mood when I pumped some of this stuff on & lathered it around.  I was feeling good :)

Lavender is also known to help w/ scarring! So if you have any Acne marks left behind that you just can't seem to get rid of, you might want to try this out.  It also helps w/ Eczema breakouts, Sunburns & other rashes! It clearly has many uses.  It's Animal-Friendly (another plus) & I would recommend it to anyone!

Instant uplift & relaxation :-)

ISLAND SKIN LLC WARMING DETOX BATH SALT Review

I received ISLAND SKIN LLC WARMING DETOX BATH SALT! It's Eco-Friendly & made up of all Organic Ingredients (such as Epsom Salt, Hibiscus Flowers, Macadamia Nut Oil, Lavender & Lemon Essential Oils, Dead & Himalayan Sea Salt, Hawaiian Black Lava Sea Salt, & Ginger Root).  All amazing for the skin's health! I like to use Natural Skin Care Body Products :-) So I appreciate Companies like ISLAND SKIN LLC, that care about the Environment, & our safety (& what actually goes into their Products)!

After all, our skin is our largest Organ.  So, it is important that we take time off, every now & then to just pamper and relax.  & one good way to do that is with Natural Bath Salts :) This one has like a Tropical Seaside Summer smell & makes a good Bath Salt choice! I liked this stuff from the moment I got it! The packaging is cute & beachy! Opening the Box put a smile on my face :-)


ISLAND SKIN LLC WARMING DETOX BATH SALT improves blood circulation (due to the Hawaiian Black Lava Salt, Ginger Root & the Hibiscus Flowers in it).  It helps to tighten/firm your skin, so it's good for those w/ Cellulite or who just want a Spa-like experience in the comfort of their own Home!

Overall, I recommend it! Try it out :) It scents the water beautifully & is soothing! It even makes a good Exfoliating Scrub! You can use this before Bed or give it as a Gift! (to someone u know who is very stressed/depressed & can use it)

ISLAND SKIN LLC Peppermint Sage Tooth Powder Review

Peppermint Sage Tooth Powder is another awesome Product :) (to include in your personal care routine by ISLAND SKIN) It's an alternative to Toothpaste.  Yep, that's right! (Who ever knew that there was such a thing? Haha!) Oral Care is extremely important in my book.  Poor Dental Care can affect your overall health & cause problems in the rest of your body.  Nobody wants that.  

I truly believe that there is a connection between your mouth & heart.  Taking care of your teeth & being aware of Ingredients/Chemicals in your Oral Care Products is one step in the right direction. There are some Toothpastes out there that can be very toxic & in the long run have negative effects.  & a good one can be very difficult to find nowadays (considering many have Flouride, Artificial Colors, Chemical Sweeteners & Detergents in them).  That is a more than enough reason why I decided to make the switch & try out Tooth Powders.

So, I tested out ISLAND SKIN's Peppermint Sage Tooth Powder for the 1st time & I <3 it! It smells so good & minty! It contains Sage a herb in it, that is a Natural Tooth Whitener.  Tooth Powder is really easy to use. For those who never tried it, you basically just wet your Toothbrush, sprinkle a little Powder on & brush like you normally would if it was Toothpaste.  It makes your mouth feel super clean & fresh afterwards just like Toothpaste without the damage :-)  I recommend it to everyone :) I think that it's better than Toothpaste.  Tooth Powders are not only less damaging on the enamel than Toothpastes, but they are Flouride Free.  Plus they are easy to travel with (since they are not Gel or Liquid) & last for quite a while.  


If you have sensitive teeth & gums, this is a must-have :-)

ISLAND SKIN LLC Organic Island Shell Lip Balm Review

Another unique Lip Balm :-) I'm in <3! It's a Sea Shell Compact w/ a Mirror that comes in a cute little Drawstring Pouch! I like that I can bring this w/ me anywhere I go! It's an adorable Accessory & makes a cute small gift too! It's 100% Natural & the Shell is real-straight from the Beach :-) So gotta love that! 

It's so pretty, that some days I even want to match it w/ some of my Outfits haha! You can toss it right in your Purse & use the Mirror in it for touch-ups.  So yay to this long-lasting product :)

The Balm contains Beeswax, Mango Seed Butter, Macadamia, Coconut Oils, Rosehip & Jojoba (Organic Ingredients)-all great for the lips! It has a light feel to it, but it moisturizes & leaves your lips feeling smooth & all.  Perfect for all seasons :)

Oh, & you can get this online or in person (at their Store in Australia) :) 

Very exclusive!

SOFTSPOKEN BY LUCID FIELDS GREEN TEA LEMONGRASS Review

By far 1 of my favorite Lip Balms ever :-) Why u ask? Because I am obsessed with everything Green Tea haha! & to find out that there is such a thing as a Green Tea Lip Balm out there, you bet I had to try it :-) It's very moisturizing, gentle & smells just like Green Tea lol! I feel like it instantly puts you in a good mood, once you apply some on.  My lips feel very soft, & smooth afterwards. It's also great to carry with on the go! 

Where I live, it's still Winter & my lips have been suffering quite a bit :-/ Some days, I have been waking up with chapped, split, & even bloody lips (might sound gross) but yea, this stuff really helps out with that! 

Green Tea is loaded w/ Antioxidants, & helps to protect your lips from UV damage! Another Ingredient contained in this Lip Balm Product-LEMONGRASS. Lemongrass also has many benefits as well! It gives off a Lemony scent & is hydrating, refreshing, & cooling.  It's loaded with Vitamins & Antioxidants & it's Anti-Bacterial (helps fight off infections!)  It also prevents lips from aging & feels somewhat therapeutic (provided me w/ some type of relief after applying it on) :-) 

All in all, it's an amazing Lip Balm! I highly recommend it to everyone :)

LUCID FIELDS PLATONIC Solid Fragrance Review

Another great Product from LUCID FIELDS :-) Let me just start off by saying that the packaging is so so cute <3 It's fresh Perfume in a Tin.  It's definitely unique & smells amazing! It contains quality Organic & Herbal Ingredients in it-such as Vitamin E, Beeswax, Lavender (my fav!), Juniper, Almond & Grape Seed Oils (to name some).  It's great for those who have sensitive skin like me! It's non-toxic & contains nothing too harsh for your skin. 

Loved dabbing some of this stuff onto my pulse points (like on the sides of my neck & wrists!) It's perfect for on the go, and very easy to apply :-) It glides right on.  I highly recommend LUCID FIELDS PLATONIC Solid Fragrance to anyone who does not want to carry a large Perfume in their Purse that could break or open.  Solid Perfumes are great to travel with! They're portable and the size is just right :) No worries about spills or anything like that.

You can even apply this stuff on after your workout or when you wake up.  Totally up to you! 

Sets up the mood for an awesome day!

MIXED ESSENTIALS Homemade ORGANIC Cocoa Drop Body Butter Review

Another Product I got to try from MIXED ESSENTIALS :) The Cocoa Drop Body Butter! Very impressed w/ this one (considering that it's handmade) :-) It has a light pleasant scent to it & melts on your skin like Butter.  Only it's not super greasy.  My dried skin loved this stuff! I massaged it onto my skin (using circular motions) at night, right after my shower before Bed :) It's also great to use after a manicure! It sort of reminds me of the Burt Bees Creams that I used to have.

Another thing I liked about the Body Butter was that it was super moisturizing & left my skin silky smooth! I even liked it on my hands (even though it was meant for the body haha!) It does wonders for cracked knuckles! So healing & relieving.  It must have been the Ingredients contained in it-Organic Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, & Vitamin E Oil :-) All amazing for the skin!

Overall, it's an awesome Product for all around use! I recommend it :) It lasts a while & prevents itchiness as well! Perfect for the Winter & even Summer.  You can toss it in your bag before heading out (since it's small).  Great to travel with! 


MIXED ESSENTIALS, you did a good job with this one!

MIXED ESSENTIALS Homemade ORGANIC Christmas Candy LIP BALM Review

So cool that I'm one of the 1st Product Reviewers for MIXED ESSENTIALS! I got to try out a unique LIP BALM that smells like Christmas Candy & is homemade :) Even though, it is not Christmas, you can still wear it on your lips, since it has a minty Peppermint kind of flavor-perfect for all occasions.  

I like that it isn't too sticky like some other Lip Balms out there.  It's soothing, healing, & does the job.  If you have super dry & chapped lips, consider this one.  Lip Care is so important in the Winter time.  I'd say that the smell of MIXED ESSENTIALS Homemade ORGANIC Christmas Candy LIP BALM is somewhat strong.  So, if you're not a fan of anything minty, then I suggest that you look for another one.  The smell kind of reminds me of a Candy Cane :) 

It also doesn't burn, so kudos to that! I've known many Lip Balms and Chapsticks out there that would sting and were very uncomfortable on the lips.  But thankfully w/ this one I had no weird reactions.

All in all-If you're looking for something smooth, refreshing & moisturizing, this is just that.  It also makes a cute little gift for your loved ones :-)

ATAL ADVANTAGE ULTIMATE AGE DEFYING SERUM Review

Awesome Animal-Friendly Serum for Wrinkles & Fine Lines! :-) It comes as a Pump & it's main Ingredients are Vitamin C & Hyaluronic Acid.  ATAL's ADVANTAGE ULTIMATE AGE DEFYING SERUM is suitable for all skin types out there & is best to use right after you cleanse your face-Morning & before Bed.  Serums are great to use before applying Makeup & Moisturizers! Plus a few drops go a long way.  They absorb quickly & keep your skin looking super firm! They're great for getting rid of dry, flaky & saggy skin-perfect for the Winter time :)

I have a couple of Dark Spots & I love that ATAL's SERUM helps w/ it! I find it best to apply it onto damp skin (for best results) :-) It makes a difference & the results are amazing! For those who do not know, Hyaluronic Acid (contained in ATAL's SERUM) has many skin benefits.  As we age, our skin looses elasticity, therefore using a Product w/  Hyaluronic Acid is necessary to achieve beautiful hydrating youthful looking skin! It plays a major role in the production of Collagen.  So, if you're looking for an Anti-Aging Product to reverse aging skin, look no more.  ATAL's ADVANTAGE ULTIMATE AGE DEFYING SERUM is a good one :-)


Another powerful Ingredient in this Product that helps prevent skin aging-Vitamin C.  Vitamin C is necessary for a brighter, smooth & healthier complexion.  It helps with sun damaged brown spots, red marks, inflammation, irritation & also boosts Collagen (like Hyaluronic Acid).  ATAL's SERUM only takes a couple of minutes to apply, but in the long run you will see your
 skin look the best it's ever been :)

This Product has a smooth consistency & is very safe to use.  All of the Ingredients are Natural & non-toxic (which I love!) I recommend to everybody-especially those w/ sensitive skin :-)
