I have dry skin so this is absolutely perfect for my skin type. I use oils in my skincare routine but don’t use it for cleansing. This leaves my skin feeling so nice without tightness or dryness. I don’t wear a lot of heavy waterproof makeup but everything I did try was easily removed. I found it was a gentle cleansing experience with no skin irritation after. It is scented likely because it’s made with eight oils but I found the scent really pleasant. If you are sensitive to fragrances this might be noticeable to you. I don’t think I can go back to my old cleanser after trying this for a while. -

This retinol and niacinamide pressed night cream feels so nice on top of my retinol serum. The night cream really hydrated my skin. I’m a regular retinol user and I was able to switch my products with no irritation. This cream feels light weight and comfortable after using my serum. My skin looked brighter and I loved how the cream is dispensed. -

I’m a daily retinol user. I was able to switch this out with my regular product fairly seamlessly but I did get a little dryness which was helped out with moisturizer. It definitely helped my skin look smooth and soft. I haven’t been using it long enough to notice the long term effects yet. If you don’t use retinol regularly I’d recommend easing into it slowly. -

I usually wear light coverage foundation. This is a buildable foundation so I was still able to get a light coverage using a foundation brush. It was a good match and allowed my freckles to show. If I wanted to cover my dark spots and sun damage I needed to add more coverage. It still looked pretty natural and didn’t feel heavy on my face. However, I have dry skin so the areas around my nose and eyes didn’t look as well with medium coverage. I didn’t try to leave it on for 24 hours but it does last through the day. I love that it didn’t feel like I was wearing any foundation. -

I over plucked in the nineties so I have a few areas I need to fill in daily. This brow definer allowed me to make precise strokes. The fine point meant it took a little longer to get the job done but it also looked a little more natural. It blends easily so it’s easy to fix if it’s a little heavy. It lasts as long as my other brow pencils which is usually
until I wash my face at night. The colour match was okay but some of that depended on how light or dark my strokes were. I would use this regularly.

My 13 year old daughter has primarily used this but I’ve also tried it a few times.
For myself, I have super dry skin 40’s skin. This does exactly what it says it does. It cleansed my face without drying my skin out. I was surprised since it was oil free, most cleansers dry my skin to the point where it feels tight right after cleansing. This feeling was a lot more comfortable and I didn’t have any skin irritation.
For my daughter this was a easy to use cleanser that removed her makeup and easily rinsed off. Her skin looks a little less red than usual. She doesn’t have any acne but suffers from dry skin as well. She said it felt nice on her skin when it was foaming up. It’s a great first step for her age and also a gentle cleanser for myself.

My son always uses a Vitamin D supplement year round to help his immune system. I’m immunocompromised so Vitamin D is a staple in our home.
It’s even more important to supplement during the fall and winter months because we spend more time indoors. These @orangenaturals kids Vitamin D3 have 400iu in each drop. These drops have a very mild orange flavour and my son doesn’t mind if I drop them directly in his mouth. Super easy way to get his vitamin D and helps him build strong bones and teeth. If he didn’t like the orange flavour it would simple to put a drop in his morning smoothie. Definitely love the convenience of the drops!

I’m a regular retinol user as part of my night routine. This was my first time using retinol in a stick form, normally I used cream. This is a 3% encapsulated retinol blend so it was actually gentler on my skin than my regular retinol product. I was able to just switch out my product and use this stick every night with no irritation. It’s easy to apply and control where you are putting the balm. It is very hydrating which is perfect for my very dry skin. It almost feels like I’m using a night sleeping mask and wake up with glowy skin. My skin feels firmer but I haven’t been using it long enough to notice any differences in my fine lines. The only thing I have to get used to is not knowing exactly how much product I am using with this type of balm applicator. I have no idea how long this stick will last but I’m going to keep using it to see if I get results on my fine lines. I definitely like the idea that I don’t have to touch my face and just use the balm application. -

I use retinol every night on my skin but I’ve never tried a retinol cream for my eye area. I think I just always thought that retinol would be too harsh for my eye area. It was quite the opposite. My eye area looks brighter and smoother. It’s a balm with encapsulated retinol that comes in a convenient stick that makes it easy to apply because I can control exactly where I want it to go. I have normally dry skin and I was able to use this nightly without any irritation. I found it very hydrating.
My only concern is that I don’t actually know how much product I’m putting on my face because I can’t see it or feel it because I’m using a balm application. So I’m not sure how long one of these sticks last. I haven’t been using it long enough to tell if it has an impact on my fine lines but my under eye area feels firmer. Definitely going to keep this in my routine to see if there are further results.

Parissa Quick & Easy Legs & Body Wax Strips

These @parissawax Legs and Body wax strips are so easy to use, there is not much to say. You simply pull the strips apart, place it in the direction of hair growth, hold your skin with one hand and with the other quickly pull up against hair growth. That’s all there is to it. There was no excess wax left on my skin and the wax strips were mess free. It comes with an Ultra Soothe oil that has a spray pump which also results in less mess because there’s no oil dripping everywhere. These strips were very effective in removing my leg hair and my skin felt great after using the oil.
One of the reasons I don’t wax often is because of plastic strips and waste. What I love about these wax strips is that Parissa uses natural ethically sourced ingredients, are certified cruelty free, use eco-friendly packaging and are biodegradable. The Ultra soothe oil is made with a blend of natural botanicals. You can find out more on their website. I am definitely going to be tryIng some of their other wax strips as well.
