Petunia Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Life has been super busy for me as a new teacher but I DO have a new product to share for you tonight. This is another hyaluronic acid serum.

The Petunia Skincare Hyaluronic acid serum comes in a 1 fl oz (30 mL) container with a pump applicator.  A little bit will go a long way with this one and will be sure to last you a long time.  I used about 2 pumps to cover my face and neck.

This hyaluronic acid is on par with others that I have tried. It does have a little bit of an aloe smell (or maybe cucumber. . . or maybe my nose is just off a little bit haha).  

It makes your face feel firm and smooth and gives it a bright youthful glow.  It's a really great product to apply in the morning before you moisturize and put on makeup.  (Also, at night time after makeup removal before bed!) 

This product can be purchased on Petuniaskincare.com for only $22.97! 

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

InstaNatural Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream review

I have another face product to share with you today!  This product works as a moisturizer to give you a youthful, bright appearance and as an added benefit it is supposed to reduce acne and hyper pigmentation. (I suffer from neither of those and with this hopefully never will!)

I present to you:

InstaNatural Niacinamide Moisturizer! 

This product comes in a 2 fl oz (60 mL) container and has a pump for easy application.  You only need the size of a pea to cover your whole face!  This will surely last quite a while! 

(This is one pump!) Your face will feel soft and moisturized after application.  You will know if you applied too much because it will make your face feel like it has a mask on it (I know. . .I didn't follow the directions for my first application. Dun dun dun. . .) If you use the recommended amount then your face should feel normal/light. 

This serum is packed full of wonderful nutrients for you skin such as: Vitamin B3, Aloe Vera, Avocado Oil, and Hyaluronic Acid. 

If you are interested in purchasing this product you can buy it on amazon for only $16.75 right now!  This is a great deal! If you are not satisfied this product has a lifetime money back guarantee.  What's to lose? :)

Barefaced Mud Mask review

Popping in to say hello and post a little review! Things have been super busy recently since I was hired on as a full time teacher right before school started. If you have been wondering where I have been then there's your answer! ;)

I have another mud mask to share with you tonight! This product was such a nice treat after a LONG day! (Picture day, etc).

The Barefaced Mud Mask comes in a 6 oz container and will last you quite some time since a little bit goes a long way. The recommended usage is once a week. If you are feeling a little more indulging you can use it more.  

Directions say to massage onto your face and neck (I just did my face) avoiding the eye and lip areas.  Once applied, let sit for 15 minutes so it can dry and work it's magic.  It goes on a slightly greenish color and smells quite nice with a minty fragrance and a slight tingle on your skin. 

The mud mask dries to a more of a brown color. It really makes your face feel tight and firm! 

After you let the mask dry you just wash it off with warm water! Ta da! 

Your face will be smooth, firm and brighter! 

The following in italics is taken from the products listing off of amazon: 

• Barefaced Dead Sea Mud is a 100% natural facial mask boosted with certified organic ingredients. Completely free from parabens and harsh chemicals, you can give your skin a truly natural beauty treatment, letting you spend less time worrying about what you're putting onto your skin.
• Dead Sea Mud is one of Mother Nature's secrets that simply just works. Join millions and enjoy its natural skin brightening and healing clay properties. Reap the amazing benefits from this completely natural solution from the earth, and enjoy the best skin possible.

I always love to find products that are 100% natural.  It's nice to know exactly what you are applying to your skin.

If you would like to purchase this product, it is available on amazon.com for only: $24.98.

Again, this product will last you for a long time.  30-40 masks! They also offer a 100% guarantee if you are not satisfied.

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

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.

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.
