La Deessa Vitamin C serum review




I have another Vitamin C serum product to share with you today! This one is by the company La Deessa.  It is not only vitamin c serum but also has hyaluronic acid, advance amino complex and organic aloe.








The La Deessa product comes in a 1 fl oz (30 mL) glass container with a dropper for an applicator.  Like other vitamin c serums, this one is also pretty liquid-y.  A little bit will go a long way with this one as well. Unless you are clumsy like me and knock half of it over on your bathroom counter. (boo :*( I'm sad!)

This product helps your skin feel smooth, firm and look healthy.  It helps combat fine lines and wrinkles. I'm really sad that a lot of this product was lost to my counter because I really am enjoying it.




Just one dropper full will be enough to cover your whole face and the top of your neck.  


You can purchase this product on amazon for only $19.95.  This is very comparable to other vitamin C serums.  Remember when you are shopping around that this product also has those extra added ingredients which make it unique!

Pure Shea Butter review





I have another product from CleopatrasChoice.com to share with you today! If you are in the market for Shea butter then this is a post you will want to read and follow the links through!






This Shea Butter is a 100% pure African shea butter.  Having just started my new teaching job, I haven't had a ton of time to test it out. (This review is actually late! :( I'm never late). I can tell you from what I have tested though that it is true that it lasts a long time and hydrates your skin really well.  A little bit goes a long way.  I have not tried it on any burns, but my skin does get pretty dry and it works wonders when I do get around to using it.  I think I'm going to start keeping some by the side of my bed and using it before I sleep.




The container says that it isn't greasy.  While it isn't super greasy like the other shea butters I have tried. . . I wouldn't call it not greasy. You still have a little bit of a slick feel and shiny look. This is why I like to wear it before bedtime.  Put some on your hands, elbows etc and slip some gloves on.  Your hands are guaranteed to be deeply hydrated over night.

The company also says that it is great to use as a lip balm. Seeing that this comes in a 1 lb amount, I'm sure I will still have a ton left over for winter time and I will be able to test it out again.


You can purchase this product on CleopatrasChoice.com for only $14.  They also have it in larger amount sizes. You can choose what best fits your needs! :)

Interview nails

This week has been a whirlwind week of emotions.


Monday I had an interview for a first grade position at the school district I substitute teach in.  It was with NINE people. (Two principals, and 7 teachers!) Here are the nails that I went into the interview with:




This is "I Theadore You," from the OPI Oz collection.  This was a polish that I won in a giveaway from Be Happy and Buy Polish!

All in all this polish was alright. It took 3 coats for opacity (you can still kind of see the whites from my free edge).  I wasn't super impressed with the color but it worked for the purpose in which I needed this polish.

Notice. . . I also trimmed my nails. (Due to my thumb being a different length thanks to my mandolin accident!)

I thought I nailed the interview. They both went with someone else. Boo :( (It works out to my advantage though!)

I got another call for an interview which was scheduled for today. These are the nails I had for this one:



I decided that I needed a little bit more sparkle to go with my personality! This is Aly's Dream Polish - Cherry Blossom Pink.  Read my review here: Aly's Dream Polish




Guess what?!


I'm a third grade teacher now!!!!!!! :) (P.S. I blocked out the school name for safety purposes ;) ).

Youthful Radiance Eye Cream by Foxbrim Review





I have another product from Foxbrim to share with you today.  This product is a fabulous eye cream that I'm sure you will enjoy.



The Youthful Radiance Eye Cream by Foxbrim comes in a cute 0.5 fl oz (15 mL) container with a pump applicator as pictured below. 



As with a lot of facial products I've reviewed, a little bit goes a long way with this one as well.  Just a little dab on your finger tip and applied gently around your eyes will help fight nasty dark circles, puffyness and those pesky fine lines and wrinkles.  



This product is packed full of nutrient rich ingredients such as: vitamin C, vitamin E, aloe, green tea extract, jojoba oil etc.  


The following information in italics was taken from the product's listing on Foxbrim.com:

- You can wear it right under your makeup with NO makeup smudge.
- Since it’s made with only natural and organic ingredients it’s non-irritating for those with sensitive skin.
- And it’s made proudly in the USA.

Hyaluronic Acid Serum by Foxbrim Review







I have another Hyaluronic Acid Serum to share with you today! This one is from the company Foxbrim.  It contains Vitamin C + E.


Your Hyaluronic acid serum will arrive in a 1 fl oz. (30 mL) glass container complete with a dropper applicator as shown below. 





The hyaluronic acid serum is more jelly like than vitamin C serums.   This makes application easier because you don't have to worry about dripping. Again with this product, a little bit goes a long way.  The amount shown above is enough (one dropper full) to cover your face and neck.  

Directions:
Wash and pat skin dry. If you are going to use a toner, apply the toner before the serum. Apply a small amount to entire face, neck and décolleté. Allow to dry. Can be used daily; can be used under make up.

I've incorporated these serums in my daily morning makeup routine and if I remember I also use it at night time.

The following information in italics is taken from the products listing on Foxbrim.com:

- It’s stocked with a powerful blend of high quality natural ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, MSM, Jojoba Oil AND Green Tea
- It’s safe for aLL skin types
- And it can be worn right under make up

ABSOLUTELY PURE: For you that means NO parabens, NO additives, NO fillers. Not Tested on Animals. Nothing you don't want and everything you need!


I just love the way this product makes my face feel.  It leaves my skin feeling firm and soft and keeps my complexion bright and even.

The cool thing about this product is that the FoxBrim company offers a 100 % risk free money back guarantee if you are not satisfied with their product.  (I don't think you will find an issue with it though).

This product is available for purchase for only $17.99 on Amazon! Get it while it's on sale lovelies! I promise you will love the results.

Foxbrim 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil review





I received the Foxbrim 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil to share with you lovelies and I must say I am excited!


The Foxbrim argan oil comes in a 2 fl oz container and has a dropper applicator.  A little bit goes a long way with this and it is sure to last you a long time! 


Ingredients are: Organic Argania Spinosa (Argan Oil) Kernel oil.  

This product is fragrance free and preservative free. 

The following information in italics was taken from the products listing on Foxbrim.com


Directions:
For supple skin, dispense 1-3 drops of argan oil onto palms and rub hands together. Reapply on a daily basis, or as needed.
For soft, silky hair cleanse with natural shampoo. Apply 1-3 drops into scalp, or damaged hair. For ultimate conditioning, leave oil in for atleast 30 minutes.
For a radiant glow wash face and apply 1-3 drops, massaging in circular motions. Let oil abosrb 3-5 minutes and apply makeup as usual.
For stronger nails, apply 1-3 drops directly on to cuticles and fingertips.

I kept this product by my bedside and would apply to my fingertips/cuticles before bed.



It is quite wonderful and hydrates the cuticle area very well.  This will surely help you have healthy nails and cuticles after continuous use.  


You can also use this product for dry areas on your body such as elbows, heels etc. I recommend putting some socks on after applying to your heels since it is an oil product. 

If you are looking for help for your damaged hair this is also a great product to use.  It does not leave your hair feeling oily and it brings the shine and life back into your hair.  

You can purchase this product on the FoxBrim website for $15.97 currently.

Adovia Exfoliating Dead Sea Facial Salts review





I received another great product from CleopatrasChoice.com to share with you lovelies today!

 Exfoliating Facial Salts!






The Adovia Exfoliating Dead Sea Facial Salts come in a 350 gr (12.3 oz) container. The website says it is a 2 month supply.

You apply a small portion to your clean wet face and massage gently in circular motions.  Rinsing with warm water.

Now I have never used exfoliating facial salts before so the first time I used them.  . . I took the container into the shower with me. It wasn't the best idea . . . trust me. Not only did I have to figure out how to not get the whole insides wet, but when I tried to sprinkle a tiny bit into my hand, I ended up with a heaping handful! My suggestion to you is: use this outside of the shower, or have your portion already measured out if you plan on taking it in the shower with you. (hehehe)

When I tried it again, it was by my bathroom sink. That went a lot smoother.

This product is really great.  The gritty-ness from the salt left my face feeling really clean and refreshed.  If you are worried about it feeling too rough for you, I suggest adding a little bit to your face wash.  I tried this as well and it was quite refreshing!
