Review & Giveaway: Honeycat Cosmetics



All you mama's out there know, sometimes, we need some alone time in the bathroom. I always have a bathroom buddy. He wants to get into everything while I go to the bathroom, wants to be in the bath tub while I shower.. Wants to pull everything off shelves and out of the cupboard. So, when it is bed time, this mama wants to take some me time. 


I have found that with Honeycat Cosmetics, I can do that. I get the time to relax in the tub, without all the boats and books from my son. When I get out, I always feel refreshed. 


The way the Honeycat Cosmetics have their products packaged I think is just part of the fun. I know many cat lovers, and this would make puurfect gifts for them. I received three items to try, and I would love to tell you about them. 



The first item I would like to tell you about is, Cat-Bernet Sauvignon Red Wine Shower Gel. I love that the bottle alone looks like a smaller bottle of nice wine, if you are clumsy, don't worry it is plastic. The smell is like a very sweet grape wine smell, but while using it you don't need much. A little goes a very long way. This product lathers so well, which is something I really like in a good soap. This bottle is 14.5 ounces. I loved that the smell was not to overpowering after washing with it, but it was still there. 



Rub My Tummy Body Cream is the greatest. It doesn't leave your body feeling greasy at all, which is one of my biggest pet peeves. This has a light smell of almond, which is very pleasant. I love that it is actually very thick and creamy. So, again a little goes a long way. And the scent, and feeling of having body butter on you last for much longer then the products you can get at your local stores. 



Ok, now to my favorite packaging ever! Chick of the Sea Foaming bath salts. This comes in what looks like a wet cat food can. And smells so good. I didn't use much in my bath. And typically when I use bath salts, I just end up being frustrated that when I go to sit in the tub I can feel the salts all over on my bottom. These dissolved great. And smelled wonderful, chocolate amaretto, and mint lightly came over my bath tub, which just made me feel like I was delicious.

Review: Nature Geeks Skincare Products

I have learned to love natural skincare more than anything lately... I have noticed that since I have been using quality natural products, my face is clearer, and I am so much happier about it.
I received three different products to try from Nature Geeks:



Conscious Skincare "Lemon and Rosewoods Hand Wash"
This cleanses without drying out hands, and is great for tired hands, This is a cruelty Free product. It contains no synthetic preservatives, parabens or phthalates. This smelled great, but wasn't overpowering and left my hands soft and clean.

Enkido Clear Infusion
This is for acne and pimple prone skin. It is designed to reduct and prevent the appearance of pimples and acne. This contains, vitamin B3, colloidal Oatmeal, Beta-Glucan, Hyaluronic Acid and many more beneficial ingredients. You mist this all over your face... I have been using this daily, and I have noticed quite an improvement in my complexion, and the way my face feels! My skin is much more softer, and after using this it feels clean. This was my favorite product that I was sent.

Conscious Skincare "Enrich Night Cream"
A little goes a long way with this. This has Organic Cocoa Butter and fair trade Shea Butter in it. This keeps your skin soft a supple, and keeps fine lines and wrinkles at bay. This was probably my other favorite. So often, I have problems with moisturizers leaving my face with a greasy residue, which ends up making me break out. This, on the other hand, was absolutely perfect. It had a nice smell, and didn't leave my face greasy at all! This also seemed to help my sunburnt nose, sometimes creams irritate sunburns, and this one definitely did not!




All Products are Vegan friendly, not tested on animals, and packaged using recyclable materials. All of these products smelled wonderful! The scents were not overpowering in the least. I have a somewhat sensitive nose, and strong smells sometimes give me a headache... but these were absolutely perfect. I loved all of these products.

Review: SkinAgain "Relief"

Guess what folks, it's summer, and I know (at least where I live) the mosquitos are out in force... I also know, that I seem to be the mosquitos favorite snack. Which really is awful, because I am a lot more sensitive to insect bites than your average person. Instead of getting a "dime sized" mosquito bite, when I get bit, the swell up much more than normal... they end up being about the size of 50 cent pieces. And I can't ever stop scratching them.

When I was given the opportunity to try SkinAgain's "Relief", I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. Relief is for itchy, red and inflamed skin, Rashes and Insect bites! Oh, and let me tell you, this is my new best friend. Right now, this is my miracle product. I had an insect bite on my foot, and being that that particular area is really hard to scratch, because no matter how much I scratch, it just doesn't go away... I was losing my mind. So I thought, "Oh! I'll try Relief on it!" If only I had thought of that sooner. almost immediately the scratchy burn was gone, plus it left my foot completely soft and smooth.

Relief is All natural, paraben free, fragrance free, cruelty free, and allergy tested. I think this would be a perfect product for people who suffer from eczema, or other skin irritations.

Wonderful product!! 10/10!

Review: Everyday Minerals

Everyone who knows even a little bit about me knows that I am a makeup fanatic. My favorite products are face products: Foundation, Blush, Bronzers, and powders. I was so excited when I received Everyday Minerals in the mail. “The Real You” kit has everything you need in it to create a wonderful fully finished face. The kit includes four finishing powders in four different shades: Bronzed, Pearl, Finishing Dust n(original), and Sunlight. The kit also includes Calm and Collected Skin Tint, and Poised to perfection skin tint. It also includes a flat kabuki brush.
 


The quality of these really surprised me. I loved these! I used the darker shades for contouring, and the lighter shades to set my face. The finishing powders set my makeup beautifully and it lasted all day. This was not cakey or heavy on my face.
 Everyday Minerals Finishing Dusts are translucent powders that serve to set your makeup and get rid of excess shine. They are suitable for all skin shades, from Fair to Light to Medium to Dark.
 The Kabuki brush was also a great quality. It was very dense and very soft. I have tried kabuki brushes before, and some of them are “scratchy”. They don’t blend the makeup very well. This one definitely gets the job done the way it is supposed to be.

The SKIN TINTS are wonderful products for the skin that range from a soft glow to matte with skin tone shades. It can be worn over your usual foundation base, or all on it's own. Simply, it offers a subtle, sheer and translucent tint of color so that the skin is not masked. Instead, skin is instantly brightened, radiant, and warm. Expect a nice, light feel on the skin, that's powdery in texture and leaves your complexion totally gorgeous.
These powders are also very build-able. You can get sheer coverage, or add more to get a more medium coverage.

Everyday minerals are hand crafted, 100% Vegan, and do not test on Animals. There is also no Mineral Oil, Carmine, Parabens, Parrafin, or Synthetic Fragrance.

Review: De La Terre SkinCare

My passion for Natural beauty products has been increasing. I love that I can make myself look better, and also feel better doing it, knowing that I'm not putting a bunch of unnatural chemicals on my body.
I was sent three products from De La Terre Skincare to try out. and I have to say, I loved all of them.

Herb Rich Serum-
This was perfect for my dry skin. It is formulated to help accelerate skin recovery, has anti aging properties, and helps diminish scars and dark pigmentation. I put this on my face, because I noticed I was starting to get dry skin around my mouth and jawline. This cleared that up in no time at all!



Herb Rich Balm-
I really loved this product. I used it as a lip balm, but you can also use it as an eye treatment, or an all over face mask. I love that you can use this in so many ways. You can also use this to treat minor burns and skin irritations. Sometimes my lips get flaky, and it drives me crazy! This has been my go to product for keeping my lips nice and smooth!

Herb Rich Clay-
This product was also fantastic. You make an emulsion with it and press it onto your face. I could feel my skin getting tighter after I used this. Do not let it dry on your face. It has to be wet to work properly. I had my mom try this also, and she loved it as well.

All of De La Terre's Skincare is 100% synthetic Free, Gluten Free, and Vegan. It contains NO Parabens, sulfates, or Petrochemicals. It is also Non-Comedogemic (Won't clog pores). They are also Cruelty Free! They do not test on animals! I always thought it was hard to find companies who do not test on animals, and since I have started my blogging adventure, I now know of several companies who are cruelty free! I love De La Terre Skincare!

I would give these products a 10/10!

Review: John Paul Pet Waterless Foam Shampoo

Have you ever tried to give a cat a bath? Yeah, that's not going to happen. At least not with any of my cats! Well, when I received this particular product, I could not wait to try it out on my cats! I tried it on my siamese, who definitely does not like baths, and being as none of my cats are declawed, I don't feel like getting my face and arms scratched!

This product is a miracle worker. Everyone gives their dogs baths, but hardly anyone gives their cats regular baths, because of how afraid of water most cats are. Now you can!

I loved this product! It was so easy to use, and my cats smell great now! I also tried this on my dog, Zeke, and he wasn't quite sure what was going on, but he let me massage this into his hair, and I think he enjoyed it! This formula requires no rinsing, and is made with a blend of botanical oils that cleans and freshens your pets coat. This is perfect for cold weather, or animals that hate getting baths!

So far, this is my favorite product I have tried form the John Paul Pet Line! All of their products are tested on humans first (Cruelty Free!)

You can also Enter a giveaway for a John Paul Pet 3 pack!

Review: John Paul Pet Ear & Eye Pet Wipes

John Paul Pet products are made by the Co-Founder of Paul Mitchell! They have been nice enough to help us finish up Pet week! I will be reviewing one of their products every day for the rest of the week! I have to say, these products certainly make it easier to clean  up my dogs and cats. At the end of the week I will be putting up a Giveaway for some of their products!

The fir item I tried were the Eye and Ear wipes. Every one who owns animals knows the woes of Eye boogies. Animals get them just like people do, I tried these on my cat first, cleaning around his eyes and ears. he didn't seem to mind it, and it cleaned his ears well. Then I tried them on my dog. They also cleaned his ears well, though you could tell he was definitely not used to the wipes. If I sued these regularly on my animals they would probably get used to them in no time.

The directed use is everyday. Though with my animals I don' think it is needed. If you have a small dog that gets tear stains easily you will love this product, so easy to use and it really cleans! I will continue to use these on my animals as needed.

John Paul Pet products are cruelty free, Tested on Humans first. They are also fragrance Free.

Review: Soothing Touch Products

I was given the opportunity to review Soothing Touch Chocolate Peppermint Brown Sugar Scrub, and their Vanilla Chai Lip Balm. 

The Chocolate Peppermint Body Scrub smells so delicious! I used this scrub to scrub my feet and legs, I let the oils soak in for a minute or two, and then rinsed off the sugar, and then shaved my legs. I have found this is the BEST way to shave. I don't have to use any shaving cream, and the scrub exfoliates and moisturizes my skin. The scrub is made with with Organic Brown Sugar, and lots of beneficial oils. It is made in the USA, is Cruelty Free, Paraben Free, and contains no GMO's. I love this scrub! 


The Lip Balm I received from Soothing Touch, is also a really great product. It goes on my lips easily and smoothly, and moisturizes Great! It is made with Organic Cocoa and Shea Butters. It is also Organic and Cruelty Free! 

I love the little motto that is on all of their packaging: Peace to all, Life to All, Love to all. What a great message to put on your products!

Review and Giveaway & Coupon Code: North Coast Organics


Deodorant. That word strikes fear in the heart of many. Does it work? Will it leave stains? Will I smell halfway through the day? So, when I had the chance to try North Coast Organics' deodorant, I was a little skeptical. I come from a place where "natural" usually means it doesn't work as well as a product packed wiht chemicals. That is NOT the case with North Coast Organics' deodorant! 



I have always been sort of picky with my deodorant. It needs to work, and after it being on for a while, I like it to not make those weird little deodorant balls... (those things are just weird). I am absolutely IN LOVE with the "naked" deodorant. It works all day, has no scent (for sensitive skin), and doesn't ball up in my armpit. I think the best part about this deodorant is that it only contains FOUR ingredients. The odor control in this comes from baking soda. It also contains Coconut Oil, which is great for moisturizing skin. 

I also received two other fragrances: Revolver and Death by Lavender. Revolver has a nice scent to it, light and fresh smelling, though I personally think this is more "manly" smelling. The lavender has a stronger scent to it, and you definitely catch whiffs of your deodorant throughout the day. 
Everything in these deodorants is completely organic, vegan and Cruelty Free. What a great product!

I would give this product a 10/10!

North Coast Organics is also going to do a giveaway! One winner will receive a 3 pack of their travel sized deodorants, Like I received!
They have also generously offered a 15% off coupon code to my readers: CAITROCKSDEATH
