An absolutely awesome product! Love the effect this moisturizer had on my skin. I suffer from hormonal adult acne and have combination skin. Oily t-zone and dry everywhere else. My skin immediately liked it, no burning or itching. Typically most products cause my skin to go flush. This one not at all.
This gel moisturizer is so lightweight you can't feel it on your skin. It really feels as if its part of your skin. The texture feels like a gel. Just like a gel for your hair at first when you scoop it out of the jar. But once you apply it to your skin and massage it in the gel sinks right it. When I apply it in the morning and night after washing my face I feel a cooling tingling sensation for about 30 seconds. When I first felt this I was a little skeptical if it was going to make me react. This was not the case. My skin was dehydrated and the Hyaluronic Acid can sometimes have a tingling effect but goes away after a couple used..
I am very impressed with the ingredients. being an Esthetician I understand the harm a lot of products on the market can do to your skin in the long run. The Tarte Drink of H20 is 100% Vegan and dermatologist tested. It is hypoallergenic and will unlikely cause any skin irritation to any skin type, even the most sensitive like mine. I love that this gel has Hyaluronic Acid. This acid our skin naturally makes and it retains water to keep you hydrated 24/7. Hyaluronic Acid will keep your skin hydrated and plumped and I find gives a natural beautiful glow. Also packed into this magical gel is squalene and algaes to help fight free radicals to help your skin age slower, along with anti-inflammatory benefits which is wonderful for soothing sensitive and acneic skin.
The smell is very light and fresh. No heavy perfumes here as its made with NO artificial fragrances. What you smell is the tiny sense of the sea. A little bit of algae, orange and lavender. This gel has the Sephora Clean Seal, meaning it has less than 1% synthetic fragrance. I think I am hooked on this one now! Having it feel so light is wonderful.

Nails INC thirsty hands hand mask

Dry hands no more! After washing my hands sometimes 30+ times a day my hands can get extremely dry. In the winter months my skin can crack and become painful. Even though I apply cream numerous times a day it's just not enough. I've tried hand serum, creams, lotions, paraffin and they still get dehydrated from washing with antibacterial soaps.
Thirsty hands is for dry tired skin. It's a super hydrating hand mask with botanical extracts. Shea butter not only is hydrating because of the fatty acids and vitamins it's anti-inflammatory. These anti-inflammatory property's in the hand masks help to soothe and tone which is amazing if you have cracked skin. The vitamin e in there is a nutrient your skin needs to help your cells regenerate. Have Scarring, pigmentation issues such as age spots or sun spots on the back of your hands you have to try this!
Applying the masks to my hands was very easy. I washed and dried my hands. Then placed the right one on first, then the left. (I am right handed so easier to do the hard one first) They even have little sticky things so you can secure them on your wrist. Inside is liquid like a serum, so if you don't fasten them properly it can drop out down your arms. After leaving them on for 20 mins I removed them carefully and gently massaged in the excess. It feels like a serum to me, has a little bit of oiliness but eventually absorbs in.
The perfect at home spa day! If you want to pamper your poor hands like I do these masks are amazing. They have an earthy scent and a hint of cucumbers. Not the most amazing spa scent but it certainly does the trick for my skin. Your skin's feels so amazingly soft after. You can immediately notice a glow and my sun spots didn't look as pronounced. Definitely getting these again, can't get over how soft my hands are.
*Tip: do a hand scrub before the mask for even better results.

I'm a lover of jewelry and Swarovski and have many pieces from the Swarovski stores. The shine of the crystals look very similar to real diamonds and for the price and quality it's a great choice. If your wondering why Swarovski crystals are so special, they have lead, which is what gives the crystals extra sparkle and brilliance. Along with cutting edge machines that cut the jewels a special way to make the light reflect like a real diamond. Adore is a collection from Swarosvski of chic, yet sophisticated jewelry using authentic crystals and gold plating. This Organic bracelet is dipped in rose gold with an added crystal so it really sparkles. I love the design of this bracelet because its not bulky and you don't notice your wearing it.
I am not able to wear any metals unless it's gold without my skin reacting. So I am always searching for stunning jewelry that won't cause me problems in the long run. This bracelet gave me zero issues and has held up very well with daily wear. There is no visible scuffs or marks and the clasp is adjustable to fit anyone. The way the crystal shimmers in the light is just breath taking. Love the rose gold look, it matches all my outfits!
The benefits to Adore is you save money so you can buy more jewelry lol! You can trust that even the most sensitive skins won't have reactions no matter what gold you choose. The craftsmanship really shows! Like all other pieces it comes with a one year warranty. If the clasp or chain breaks you can just bring it back and it will be fixed or replaced for free.
I have now worn this bracelet for months everyday, In the shower, while cleaning, you name it. It has held up so well I bought a second for my mother. There's no snagging or getting caught on my clothing. Quite surprised comparing it to an actual gold bracelet you can't see the difference. A real diamond vs the Swarovski crystal is very similar. Only a diamond expert could spot the difference.
With the cost and quality this is definitely my new jewelry brand. I've had so many compliments on the shine, most people think it was from a high end jewelry store. So if you're looking for stunning jewelry without breaking the bank check out Adore by Swarovski.

I really wanted to love this mascara. Who doesn't want to thicken and lengthen their lashes. My favourite part is the brush. Its your typical brush without and odd shape so it is super easy to get every lash. You can't feel it on your lashes at and doesn't weigh them down. The instructions recommend to apply it from root to tip and use thin layers. After the first layer when you try to apply another it just starts to clump. I wasn't able to achieve a voluminous look at all. It's fragrance free and It did not have a smell with it and had no irritation. They also claim to be gluten free so this might be one to try if you have gluten sensitivities. I used this mascara for 3 weeks and seen no results at all. My lashes didn't look full or any longer than any other mascara. For the cost I would not buy this again. -

This eye makeup remover from Clinique takes off mascara like a charm! So effortlessly it just takes any eye makeup away without needing much pressure or tugging at all. Very impressed how fast it worked and how very little I used. It is a bi-phase remover so you need to shake the bottle first before using it. It feels like its a mix of oil and water but didn't leave any residue or oily feeling after washing it away. Theres no parabens, phthalates, and no fragrance. Parabens are used to stop the growth of bacteria and stop products from going bad/rancid. They disrupt hormone functions and are linked to breast cancer and reproductive problems so I try to stay away from parabens in all my products. There is no scent or fragrance in it so I have zero issues with irritation. I use this eye makeup remover once or twice a day on waterproof mascara and liner by shaking the bottle, applying a small amount to a cotton pad and then washing my enter face with cleanser. I would certainly purchase this one again! -

If you're like me and love spicing up your eye makeup with a little shimmer check out the Nude Collection pallette by Pure Cosmetics. I really enjoyed this pallette for all the nude shades. It has every colour for a complete day or evening look. The pigment of the shimmered shades is amazing quality. Just a tiny dab with the brush is all you need. You can't feel the makeup at all on the eyes, and no irritation at all for me! Some shimmers have caused my eyes to water in the past. Pure cosmetics is a clean natural based makeup line. And what I really like is it does not contain any talc and uses mica! Talc is very commonly used to make makeup feel smooth and silky. Talc and asbestos are mined together and can cause cancer! Why I prefer mica in my products is it's a natural occuring mineral. It gives a youthful more softer look and relects light away from any visible lines and wrinkles. There is no noticable scent at all to any of the colours. The only downfall I can say is the non shimmer colours don't have amazing pigment but work enough to achieve the look I was going for. Wouldn't be the best black to do a dark smokey eye. I apply the shadows in the morning and it lasted all day. Was easy to remove with eye makeup remover, the shimmer wasn't stubborn. I would buy this palette again, and can't wait to try others from pure cosmetics. -

I love this luxury perfume from Il profvmo because the scent is the most amazing vanilla I have ever smelt! The most natural vanilla scent that lasts for days! Easygoing yet so addictive. The perfume mists very nicely out of the bottle. One spray is all you need. Along with the vanilla there's two types of orchids which helps bring out a sweet mild vanilla. The warm amber gives a honey like, earthy factor that really brings the vanilla bourbon all together. The top quality ingredients truly shine with this amazing perfume. The scent is unisex and men also love it. The benefits: you will smell amazing all day without the headaches from synthetic overwhelming scents.
Did I say how addictive the scent is? WOW! Definitely buying this one again!

As you can see I really love this hand salve and have cut the bottle to get every last drop. The texture is rich and smooth, you can definitely feel the Shea butter as it melts into your skin. My favorite part is the smell! It has a lovely citrus scent and you can really smell the lemon, orange and bergamot. Sparituals hand salve contains 76% certified organic ingredients with organic fair trade shea butter and marula oil to hydrate your skin and give a breathable shield to protect your hands in dry weather. Shea butter has anti-inflammatory and healing properties and is seen in a lot of skin care products to soften. Combined with the marula oil and bergamot it adds antioxidants to protect your skin and prevent premature aging all day long.
I can see results immediately after applying it. My skin feels super soft and has a beautiful glow. I like to use this hand salve a couple times a day or whenever I feel my skin needs that boost of hydration. This is my second bottle I've used and I will definitely be getting more.
