Rejoice! Body Care

Hey everyone! So I recently found out about a company through twitter that I think is truely amazing. It is called Rejoice! Body Care and is a company that specializes in the creation of natural home, body and spa products for the entire family. It is a line of natural home, body, and spa products that are handmade. I love the fact that they are all natural and products are made to order and individually packaged for freshness.

Another thing that really gets my attention about this company, is that if you buy a certain product, some of proceeds go to a charity/organization.

Here are a few that are simply amazing:

Pamper Me/Pamper You

With this one, you’ll receive a pampering box and they send the other to a womens shelter. includes: 2 bars of soap, body butter, and a body oil.

Chemo Cutie Set

When you buy this one, a portion of the proceeds will benefit various Pink Foundations. Your gift set will include a bar of soap, a body butter, a body oil and bath salts.

I hope you take you a look at the website. Right now is a great time to check these out with the holidays.. well.. already here!

Skin MD Natural Review

As you should already know, skin can get very dry right now in the winter with the frigid weather. My skin has been really dry lately, and I was sent to try, review, and give Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion a try. I wanted to see how well it would work with extremely dry and itchy skin.

This lotion is very different from all other lotions. Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion protecting the skin from irritants and pollutants from the environment. I love how its not sticky at all. It doesn't wash off like some lotions can. It soaks into your skin and protects it. It will even help with more serious cases like Eczema, and Psoriasis.

So for me, I would use this in the morning and at night to keep my skin really moisturized and protected. Works great! No negatives here. Hope you enjoyed.

What are you doing to keep you skin moisturized? Let me know!

Fusion of Color Cosmetics Review

So I was sent a few samples of Fusion of Color Cosmetics to try and review. Let me give you a little info from the website about the mineral makeup before I give my review:

Fusion of Color Mineral Cosmetics™ mineral powder is made of natural minerals with natural healing properties that beautify and protect your skin. If you are looking for a pure natural mineral foundation that is a step above the rest our natural mineral cosmetic powders are finely milled so they apply easily with out all the buffing that may cause irritation to the skin. Fusion of Color Cosmetics look and feel like you are wearing nothing, but your skin will look flawless and radiant all day. This is what makes Fusion of Color mineral make up so unique.

Here is what I was sent:

All of them are eye shadows and the bottom 2 (Moire and Trendy) are blushes. Also Straw is a matte eye shadow, which in my opinion I would definitely use as an all over eye shadow or a very neutral highlight.

Here are swatches of all the colors:

I really like the consistency of how they blend so well and stay put. If I had to pick a few favorites, I would pick Stylish, Brocade, and Straw. All of the shadow are really good and easy to work with. The blushes I really enjoy too. I would wear them when I'm going out. The sparkle in them would show up at night more and would be amazing.

Make sure you check out the website. Pretty resonable prices!

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Review Part 2 - Results

Hey my lovely beauties! Okay so it has officially been a week since part 1 of this review. If you haven't read part 1 click here to check it out.

Here are some key points:

- This was a one week review

- used daily

- I used: Botanical Blend

Smell: I really like the way it smells. Light, fresh, and not overpowering.

Feel: First thing I noticed was how creamy it was. Creamy led me to believe it would be greasy and heavy, which is no good. Not the case. It sunk right into my skin and even felt it on top after applying. I applied in the morning, and would you believe I felt the lotion all day long? I kept thinking "maybe I didn't rub it in all the way." but no, my skin was staying moisturized! Almost 24 hours I felt the lotion. Then the next day I needed to apply more. But no re-applying all day long.

Result: Made my skin feel soft and almost silky to the touch all day and night long. Very impressed! Had high hopes going in and Im glad I did!

Definitely a must this winter! If you plan on getting it, make sure you go to this website for a coupon for $1.50 off!! Get it now while you can save!

Let me know in the comments if you have tried or plan on getting it =D

Nailene Nails Review

Hello everyone! So first off, just want to say HI to all my new followers! WOW can't believe I have 415 readers. amazing! Thanks to everyone for loving my blog. I love writing, it seems to come naturally for me =).

So before I start getting to lovey, this post is a review on Nailene Nails. I have to admit this is my first time trying press-on nails. Everytime I used to either get a manicure or go and spend $20 or more on acrylic nails. Doubt I will be doing any of those options anytime soon, because I am really liking these nails.

Here are a few pics:

I didn't know what else to "clutch", so I chose my new clutch purse. HA! But you can see how natural they look! It took me about 10 minutes to complete them on both hands.

These are the nails that I used:

Nailene's Light-As-Air Nails in Medium Length/Square Shape

Now these ones are a really good length and I love if I'm going out and never got a manicure for the longest time, I can easily put these on and go.

So hope you enjoyed! And also let me know:

Have you tried press on nails or these ones? What are your likes/dislikes?

Let me know!

I adore reading everyone's comments!

Vaseline Sheer Infusion Review Part 1

With Fall/Winter already here, you know what that means: Unbearable dry skin that seems to never go away until the seasons change. The number one tip that I hear constantly right now is: Moisturize Moisturize! And it is a must. I have tried many lotions, moiturizers, etc. Some feel really greasy and just sit on top of my skin and take forever to get absorbed. Some are the opposite and are too absorbant and completely leave the top of my skin still dry. Never an in-between.

BUT this lotion claims to moisturize all layers of your skin. Top, bottom, and everywhere in-between.

Its Vaseline Sheer Infusion with Stratys -3

I will be testing this out for about a good week to a week and a half and be back with part 2 to let you know how it is. I have high hopes going in, so better not disappoint.

Review: To Better Skin Anti-Aging Serum

This review is going to be a little different. I have not been using it , but my mom has. So this review is coming from my mom and I and what we have witnessed in this product.

My mom has been on the hunt for a cream, liquid, serum, anything that is anti-aging. She was so desperate to even buy one of those anti-aging kits at the drugstore that can run from $50 and more. Luckily, I was sent a product from jeune d'age Organics. So I gave it to her to try and see how she would like it.

What I love about this product right away, is that it is all organic. No harsh chemicals, fragrances, or preservatives. Completely vegan friendly! The serum is loaded with so many antioxidants like Acai Berry, CoQ10, and vitamins C, A, B, and E.

Here are her thoughts on To Better Skin Anti-Aging Serum:

PROS:

- The texture is great. Not too greasy, and too thin.

- Right away noticed my skin was softer and more firm.

- The cost is inexpensive.

- Almost completely diminished my crows feet and wrinkles after a week of use.

CONS:

I honestly tried to get a negative out of my mom somewhere, but she says no negaives here! Works for her completely!

If you or someone you know that has been looking for a great product for anti-aging, please look into To Better Skin. You will not regret it!

Hey everyone! So many post today, but a lot of good things to post about. More to add to my holiday list because Heidi Klum has a new limited edition makeup collection called Exotic Jewels with Victoria's Secret!
I loved her last collection that she came out with, so this is exciting. I also love how everything is always affordable. The least expensive is the glitter liner for $12, and the most expensive is eye shadow palette for $24. Hopefully I can get a few items soon, so I can review.
