Review: ToiletTree Professional Skin Care System

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

 I have heard lots of wonderful things about products similar to this, and after using this Professional Skin Care system I understand what all the fuss is about.

I absolutely fell in love with this product from the first use. I loved all of the different options. With 4 different heads, you can use this all over your body: rough elbows, callused feet,, and even on your face. I love how unbelievably clean and smooth the skin on my face is after using this. It gently removes dirt and oil without being too abrasive. 

Th larger head can be used on your body, and I really love this for getting rid of dead skin on my legs and arms. 

This Product:
- Stimulates Skin Renewal
- Improves overall skin clarity and appearance
- Removes Dead Skin cells to expose healthier looking skin
- Energizes Skin and leaves it smooth soft and radiant
- Cleans Deep to remove stubborn Makeup
- Enhances absorption of moisturizers

I love using this before bedtime. It removes the daily buildup of stuff on my face, and gets my face ready for my nighttime face cream. 

This is a great gift for both men and women. Anyone that wants a smooth and clean face will absolutely love this product!

Review: Exfolimate

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I am always looking for new and innovative ways to get that soft smooth skin that everyone desires. I was given the opportunity to try a product that I have heard quite a bit about, and I was very excited!

I was very perplexed when I received Exfolimate, I had never seen anything quite like it. Exfolimate came with two different sized items, a larger one for exfoliating larger areas on your body, and a smaller one to exfoliate your face.

The directions state to use these tools after you have taken a shower when your skin is "wet and supple". When your skin is dry, this product does not have any effect.

I tried this a few days ago, and was very pleased with how it worked on my feet and ankle region... It removed quite a bit of dead skin, but used on other places of my body, the effect wasn't as great. I think that if the metal piece on exfolimate was a little sharper, this product would have worked much better on other areas of my body.


I can say I was satisfied with how this worked on my feet, and because of that I will continue to use it. It was also very easy to clean, no scrubbing necessary. You just run the stainless steel edge under running water and wipe it off and it's clean!

Review: Insta Natural Vitamin C Facial Toner & Eye Gel



Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.




 I was able to review two more products from InstaNatural. I have reviewed their facial cleansing oil previously and fell in love with it. This time I was able to try the Vitamin C Toner and Eye Gel. I loved both of these products for both of their uses.

The Vitamin C toner was fabulous. It smelled just like oranges. My husband even mentioned to me that my face smelled nice, which was an odd compliment, but a compliment just the same. I really loved how refreshed this made my skin feel, and the scent was definitely a plus. I hate putting things on my skin that smell like nothing but chemicals. I also love that this toner is in a spray form instead of having to apply it to a cotton pad and apply it to my face.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Toner is infused with Vitamin C to help neutralize free radicals, and help in the anti-aging process.

Review: Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I thought for sure that this soap was going to make my eyes water from being so smelly, after all, it is called sulfur soap. Even still, I was willing to take that chance after years of hearing how wonderful sulfur is for your skin. Dermatologists sometimes will recommend sulfur applied to your skin, to treat:
- Acne
- Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Rosacea
- Eczema
- Dandruff

I suffer from mild breakouts, a few here and there, but nothing too serious, just enough to mess up my day. I used this soap, and was happy to say it didn't smell like sulfur, which I was extremely grateful for. The smell kind of reminds me of a very mild antibacterial soap, so it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. 

I think my favorite thing about this soap is that it was not drying. Though I love to feel that very clean feeling, I know when my skin gets super tight and dry after using harsh soaps, I will pay for it later with a massive over production of oil. With this soap, my skin did not do that. 

I can say that I do think this soap is helping my skin. I am noticing a few less breakouts, and some of my oiliness is going away. I am actually very happy with this product and will continue to use it until the bar is gone.

Review: Foxbrim Hyaluronic Acid Serum


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.





My mother swears by this serum. Every single day she uses Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and Vitamin C Serum.

I personally prefer the Hyaluronic acid serum over the Vitamin C Serum. The texture is much more like a gel, so I think it is easier to apply. I also love that it does not make my skin sticky at all, and leaves my skin smooth and soft.

I put this on and let it dry before applying my makeup. My makeup then goes on much smoother.

I definitely prefer this Serum over the other that I have reviewed. I prefer the packaging more. I think with the dropper I can get every little bit out of the container versus a pump bottle.

Review: Hyaluronic Acid Serum


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.


I loved this product in particular... I have been using it daily, and I can definitely tell a difference in my skin. I asked my husband, but he couldn't tell, which is to be expected because he never notices anything. I feel that my skin is smoother and has brightened.

The only thing I did not like about the BellaFab skincare products, had nothing to do with the actual product. The labels drive me nuts. They seem sticky to me. Especially if your hands have any sort of moisture on them.

Nevertheless, I still love both of these products that I tried from BellaFab Skincare:

Body Merry Cellulite Cream

I thought that this made my skin tight and very smooth. The texture is a little weird, it's more of a gel, but that is to be expected as one of the first ingredients is Aloe. Another great product from Body Merry!

Mistiq by Protege Beauty Review


I have to say, I was very impressed with the overall effects of this product. It worked almost instantly! You can immediately feel the tightening of your face when you apply this. This is a wonderful product. I can already tell my mother and i are going to be fighting over this one.

Review: Insta Natural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.



I was really worried when I used this product that it would make my face break out horribly. Oh my goodness, I have never been more wrong.

I am usually very wary when something says "oil" on it, for the plain and simple fact that I already have super oily skin. I tried this when I was able to be at home for a few days in case it made my skin break out horribly.

From the first time I used this, I was completely and utterly in LOVE. I am not exaggerating. It is very seldom that I find a skin care product that I actually would continue to use daily. Most of the time it's a few days and then I am on to a new product. I cannot even begin to describe how well this felt on my face. It did not burn, or irritate my skin. It also didn't leave my skin with that super tight feeling like most cleansers do. This made my face wonderfully clean and soft. You would not even believe it. I used my "face washer" (the blue thing in the photo) to try this out. This is also a great product. Everyone should own one of those. It was easy to apply, two pumps was enough product to do my entire face. It cleaned up easily, and left my face so soft and smooth. Also, it did not make me break out, which alone made this completely awesome for me.

I loved this product. I will honestly probably buy more when I am out.

Review: 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.



Making my hot oil treatment
I have always heard of some of the benefits of Tea Tree Oil, the most common one was for the treatment of dandruff. Little did I know Tea Tree Oil can be used for so many different things! I have read so many different recipes that call for Tea Tree Oil to treat things like: 

  • Acne
  • Eczema
  • Psoriasis
  • Sunburn
  • Bug Bites
  • Warts
  • Skin Tags
  • Dandruff
  • Calluses
You can make and mix this into many things, facial scrubs, lotions, body washes, toner, deodorant, and so many more things! You wouldn't believe it! I used this in my shampoo to help treat Dandruff. Most people get super bad dandruff in the winter, where as I am the exact opposite! The Summer time kills my scalp. Tea tree oil is a powerful antibacterial agent which helps treat problems that affect the scalp such as dandruff, acne and dry, flaky skin. 

I recently tried a Hot Oil Treatment, I mixed 10 drops of the Tea Tree oil with a tablespoon of Organic coconut oil and slathered my scalp with it, left it on for about two hours, and rinsed. My scalp feels awesome! 

Apothecary Extracts 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil contains NO:

  • Preservatives
  • Artificial Colors
  • fragrances
  • parabens
  • Mineral Oil
  • Chemical Solvents
  • Petroleum
I loved this stuff! There are literally too many uses to name! It's a great product to have in your household!

Review and Giveaway: Azure Naturals Ultimate C Skin Repair Serum




Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.



I have been using Azure Naturals Ultimate C Skin Repair Serum for about a week now. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with this product. 

Many of you have been reading my blog for some time now, and know that I review and use an absolute ton of skin care products. Since beginning blogging I have been able to find some really great products, for not only myself, but you, the readers as well. This product is one that I would recommend. 

When I first received this product, I really didn't know much about it. I wasn't sure what to expect, as I had never really heard of people putting Vitamin C on their faces before. I did a little research into the product and I was sold. 
"Our serum will increase cellular renewal by boosting the production of collagen and elastin. Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, and Vitamin E are all powerful anti-oxidants that when combined can provide up to eight-fold antioxidant protection, 96% reduction of sunburn cells, and prevent the formation of free radicals in sun exposed skin. Our serum is intentionally designed to be thin, but not greasy or watery. This is the optimal consistency for a Vitamin C serum and allows the potent ingredients to deeply penetrate your skin to repair sun and other environmental damage, while boosting production of new collagen and elastin." ~ Azure Naturals
The product was easy to apply to my face. I did not have any irritation or redness from the product. I was also really happy that after I was done applying, my skin was not greasy, or dry, and it wasn't sticky. It felt absolutely natural and comfortable on my skin. I have noticed that my skin has started to feel smoother. Like I have just went for an exfoliating spa facial, except the only thing I have been doing differently is using this product. Vitamin C can also brighten your complexion, though I wouldn't expect to see those results until after using the product for at least 30 days. 

I can also tell you that this did  not make my face break out. Which is extremely surprising, because usually serums like this make my skin erupt over night. I will definitely continue using this product without a doubt. I even told my mom about this, and she is looking to go buy her own bottle!

Azure Naturals has offered my readers a coupon code for 30% off their order of the Vitamin C Serum: AZUREBLG

Review: Adventuress

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

"The Adventuress Skin Care Collection was designed for active women living adventurous lifestyles"

It is June, which means, that at least where I live, it is starting to get swelteringly hot. Which also means for me, that my skin is getting FRIED from being outside even for a little while. I also live in a fairly sandy area, so the dust and dirt in the dry part of summer is unbelievable. I was able to review the Fearlessly Refreshing Facial Wipes, and the Vividly Restorative Skin Purifier.

I have tried cleansing wipes before, and none of them were even close to comparing to these. My skin felt clean and moisturized. I was really surprised by how thick the cloth wipe was. Most facial wipes are so thing they stretch and roll when you use them on your face. You can even see through them sometimes! These Adventuress Wipes, were really thick, and had just the right amount of solution on them. I was able to clean my whole face without the wipe drying out.



Feature Benefits: - Seven plant extracts protect against Rosacea, rash and itchiness 
- Reduces melanin (age spot) production, prevents pigmentation 
- Anti-inflammatory 
- Soothes and hydrates 
- Disposable, individually packaged, biodegradable towelettes 
- Fragrance and alcohol free



The Vividly Restorative Skin Purifier was equally as awesome. I have noticed my skin is looking a lot more radiant and clear since I have been using this. This feels and looks almost like a face primer, what you would put under your foundation if you really want it to stick. This is very easy to apply. One pump is able to do my entire face. It spreads easily, and it does not leave my face sticky. Out of the two products this was my favorite!

Feature Benefits:
- Decongests environmentally stressed skin 
- Reduce breakouts - Micronutrients replenish skin cells 
- Airless dispenser keeps out contaminants 
- Fragrance free and paraben free

 These were both really great products!
10/10!

Review: Paula's Choice Skincare (BzzAgent)

Many of you may know that I am a BzzAgent. If you would like to know more about what that is, please follow this link: BzzAgent
I was accepted into a campaign for Paula's Choice Skincare. I received two different formula's, Normal and Extra Strength. I have tried many different skincare routines, and this is one of my favorites. This is a 3 step process, similar to Proactive. It contains a cleanser, exfoliant, and blemish treatment.

Cleanse:
you need this to gently dissolve oil and remove makeup and dead skin cells to unclog pores, while reducing red marks and preventing redness.

Exfoliate:
Unclog and shrink pores, kill bacteria and reduce redness

CLEAR Daily Skin Clearing Treatment:
Immediately treat and reduce acne causing bacteria.

I tried the regular and my brother tried the extra strength. We both saw some improvement. I am terrible at remembering to wash my face everyday, but even with my "every other day" face regimen, I saw improvement using the regular. My brother saw more improvement than I did, however his acne is much worse.

I really loved this Acne Kit. it was easy to use, and didn't irritate my face at all. Perfect for anyone with any sort of breakouts, or if they are trying to prevent Breakouts.

10/10!

Review: Ann Marie Gianni Skincare

I was sent a number of products from Ann Marie Gianni Skincare. There were quite a few products, so I am going to tell you about my favorites that I received. Please keep in mind that all of the sizes of product I was sent were sample sizes. If you go to their online store (linked below) They have the Full Size products.

I think my favorite product that I was sent was the Dead Sea Facial Scrub! A lot of exfoliating scrubs that I have tried are way too harsh on my skin. Sometimes, it actually hurts to use them! I loved this scrub, it had just the right amount of grit to it to slough off the dead skin cells, and it left my face smooth and supple.
Dead Sea Clay - Since ancient times, this clay has been sought after for its restorative properties. Due to the unique location and geography of the Dead Sea, the clay contains many nourishing minerals including calcium which is known to help clear up your skin, bromine which is very soothing, and sulfur which is highly detoxifying.
Another one of their products that really spoke to me was the Neroli Toning Mist. I cannot even describe to you how wonderful this smells. I spritzed this on my face and I was immediately in love. my face felt fresher immediately. Plus I smell amazing!
Neroli hydrosol, from orange blossoms. This is great for your skin and will calm the subtle energies to balance your skin and your soul. Neroli has historically been used as a mood enhancer, as something to calm the soul, and as an aphrodisiac. 
The last product I will tell you about was the Purifying Mud Mask. Oh man, I love mud masks! This one especially. Throughout my years I have tried several masks promising to do the things that this one does, and non have come anywhere near close to this. This mixes so smoothly and applies wonderfully! I have struggled with oily type skin my whole life. Sometimes it is worse than others. This mask helps regulate oil product in your face, and remineralizes your skin. What a great Product!
 This purifying mask is a special blend of mineral rich clays and nutritive blue green algae. Masks have been used for thousands of years, by many cultures for skin toning, tightening and as a natural spa treatment straight from Mother Earth. Using our Purifying Mud Mask regularly will cleanse, mineralize and remove impurities from your skin and pores without destroying its fine natural balance. Gluten-free and vegan!
I loved all of the products I was sent, but these three were my absolute favorites! You can get a sample pack of the products I tried here!  These products really did wonderful things to my skin! It is definitely a mini Spa Vacation!

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!
