Instructions: For daily cleansing: massage into damp face. Rinse well

For use as a mask: Smooth a generous amount evenly over damp skin, avoiding eye area. A rich foam mask will immediately form on skin. Leave on for 1-2 minutes. Rinse well with water by massaging in a circular motion. Use mornings and evenings.

I used this as soon as it came in the mail. The bottle looked amazing, and I couldn't resist just using it upon first sight. The bottle is clear glass with a pump top and you can clearly see the green liquid Mask inside. Looked very classy and appealing.

You can use this on dry skin (as a mask) and leave it on for 2-5 minutes. When the cleanser is dispensed into your hand- it feels like any other cleanser, but you can feel the unique texture! It feels like putting mousse or shaving cream all over your face. When it starts drying, it tickles because it creates these tiny little bubbles that pop all over your face. I like it. I've never had a face cleanser feel like this before.

The mousse isn't necessarily green though. It's white with a slight green tint. It smells refreshing- like cucumbers and melon. It invigorates my skin, makes it feel fresh and moisturized, without any oiliness. I love that it can be used as a Cleanser AND a mask, so your getting twice the face care.

As soon as I put it on (as a mask, on dry skin) I just keep massaging it into my face for the 1-2 minutes that it is on there. After the first 30 seconds of rubbing it in, it becomes invisible, so it isn't on your face like a regular face mask. You don't have to keep it on as long as regular face cleansing masks either. Usually it's 10-15 minutes. With this cleanser, it's 1-2, or if you want- 5, but no longer than that.

I can put this on my face as a cleanser (on damp skin) and it also works very well. My skin feels smooth, soft, and no oil anywhere. I have naturally oily skin, so I love when products benefit my skin and help instead of making the oiliness worse.

I can tell that my pores have unclogged (the ones on my nose are the worst) and seemed to bring out even the deepest blackheads. This DOES dissolve makeup very well. It doesn't take minutes of hard scrubbing or pressing hard for it to do it's job.

This has made my face naturally healthier, and definitely more supple. I can say that this is one of my favorite skin products that I've tried this year.

It's amazing that this can also double as a shaving cream. Not many cleansers can claim to do that. Although I have used many of body washes as shaving creams when I ran out and forgot to go to the store. They didn't work quite as well as this does though.

Because it automatically reduces redness, it helps with redness, irritation, and razor burn. It's soft but yet strong enough to do 3 jobs! I mostly use this as a mask though, because I love the way it feels on my face. I've used it as a shaving cream, but would rather save it for my face.

I've used it in all three ways and it's high quality face care without a giant price tag.

Blinc Inc Mascara & Eyebrow Mousse Review

The Mascara
Blinc is the original mascara invented to form tiny water resistant “tubes” around your lashes rather than painting them like conventional mascaras. Once applied, the tubes bind to your lashes and cannot run, smudge, clump, or flake, even if you cry or rub your eyes.
Blinc Mascara will add both volume and length to give you a radiant natural look that lasts all day. Only when you are ready for removal, the tubes will effortlessly slide off your lashes into your hand without the use of a harsh makeup remover. Idea for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers.
Instructions to use: Use blinc mascara on clean and dry lashes. Within 2 minutes, apply one or more coats. Once set, additional coats cannot be applied. Neither water alone nor pressure alone will remove blinc mascara. Only the combination of lots of warm water and gentle pressure, from your fingertips or a washcloth, will slide the tiny tubes effortlessly off your lashes into your hand. Blinc mascara leaves no tint or residue buildup, making it safe for daily use.


My Thoughts*

I like that there are only 9 ingredients involved in this wonderful little tube. There isn’t a long list of ingredients that may contain harmful chemicals that will eventually hurt you. It is sensitive enough for contact wearers and those with sensitive eyes, yet is SO strong that I never once even had to check whether it was still there or not.!
I love how this doesn’t just paint your lashes. The formula that it is created with creates a tube that covers each individual lash. It holds tightly, so you don’t have to worry about it running or smearing once it’s applied. I have tons of mascara and this is by far the best one out of the bunch.
The wand is small enough to get every single lash, without fail. The mascara doesn’t clump up, and it easily washes off in the shower. Even if you aren’t taking a shower before bed, just wash your face as normal and the warm soap and water will get it off.
I love that there isn’t a huge mess of paint on my face after taking this off, as with other mascara’s. I never get raccoon eyes, and I don’t have to worry about getting it everywhere. It’s more “wet” than other mascara’s, so you have to work fast to get the desired look.
For a natural look, just do one layer of the mascara. If you are looking for dramatic, sexy eyes- apply the mascara one eye at a time, making sure you hurry and add a second layer only seconds after the first. If you let the tubes dry before adding the second layer, your lashes aren’t going to be as pretty as you thought. If you hurry, there’s nothing like it. No other mascara can compare to this.
My other mascara’s are totally lonely, sitting in my makeup bag untouched since I received Blinc. I have never used anything like this before, and love the volume I get with this. I have always had long eyelashes, but other mascara’s made the lashes clump together.
Not only are you getting a great mascara, but you’ll also be saving money on makeup remover and remover pads. Plus, this Mascara is all natural vegan.!
Totally impressed and will definitely purchase in the future!



The Eyebrow Mousse
Blinc eyebrow mousse is the original innovation that holds eyebrows like a gel, tints hair AND fills in sparse areas with water-resistant color. It contains ingredients clinically studied to decrease fine lines 67% after six weeks and increase skin’s moisture by 53% after one week. Once applied, it cannot fade, run, or smudge. Remove with any gentle makeup remover.

My Thoughts*

I didn’t particularly like this, but it wasn’t the Mousse, it’s because my eyebrows are so thin that you could tell that there was colorant on it. I let my mom try it, and she loved it! She said that it never faded all day! She works 8-9 hours a day and the mousse was still in-tact when she returned home.
It didn’t run or smudge, which is what she was afraid of. She thought that she would look like a clown at work with colorant dripping from her brows, but that wasn’t a problem at all. She said that she used hot water and soap to remove this, so you don’t HAVE to use makeup remover.
She said her brows looked amazing all day, it filled in the spots were hairs were thinner and looked ghastly. She said that it definitely increased her skin’s moisture, but didn’t make her skin oily underneath. She never got zits or anything from the added moisture to the brows.
Although this product wasn’t for me, those of you with thicker brows would love this. I don’t know why I keep my brows so thinned out, but I think it’s because I had a mishap in high school with a eyebrow thinner and it shaved off half of one of my eyebrows and it never grew back the same. So now I keep it thinned out so you can’t see that the brows grow in patches!

Maid to Please- Heaven on Earth! Maid Services

Here recently, I’ve been thinking about hiring a Maid once a week to do the Heavy Duty stuff, so that I have more time for work, the kids, or just relaxing. Maid to Please kept popping up, and although it isn’t in my area, their services seem spectacular! Maid Services in Reston VA

When you have a career and family AND have to clean house and cook and all that, it’s hard to juggle everything all at once without becoming overwhelmed and stressed out. My kids are small enough to be tornado’s though. They can wreck havoc in a single second. They can undo 2-3 hours of hard work cleaning and scrubbing within a very short amount of time.

Even if I didn’t hire the Maid for a once a week thorough- I definitely was thinking of having someone come in and clean my apartment after the move next week. I will be out completely by next Friday and have to set up 2 days just to clean carpets and mop floors. Get everything just right so that I know I can get my deposit back. I am hoping and praying that it comes through for me. I could definitely USE that money for something useful! Moving is expensive.

My kids don’t have a place to play here though, and they hate it. I’ve lived in the same apartment for 3 years, and I think it’s time I got out while the getting’s good. Plus the kids got new bikes that they are just itching to ride!

I started looking through some different maid services, and found that Maid to Please has earned top ratings from the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s Lists, Washington’s Consumer Checkbook, and many more.

Although they are no-where close to where I lived, they were in just about every single website that I came across. They are a high quality cleaning service with affordable rates. They have trained, insured, and can deliver a hassle free experience.

Most cleaning companies do not offer instant price quotes as they do, other companies want to know all that needs to be cleaned and then charge you for EVERYTHING.

Maid to Please also offer their customers the freedom of choice. Not everybody is the same, and they understand that. Some customers may not have kids, and work tons, and just need the basics once or twice a week. Other customers may be overworked moms who need a break from the cleaning and need it more than twice a week. That’s why it’s such a great deal that they let you choose your own time slots of when they come and how often you need your place cleaned.

They have a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, one time, and even move-in, move-out cleaning services. Where there’s functionality and flexibility, a customer has all the choices in their hands. They are calling all the cards, so how could it be better?

They also offer you to choose which chores your cleaners do, and they even have a place on the website for you to place special cleaning instructions! It all sounds so awesome for me. I do wish I lived closer to Virginia, so I could get their services.

There aren’t any BIG companies that are within my area, so I guess I’m going to have to go with a small hired hand!

Zip codes served in Reston are 20190, 20191, 20193, 20194, 20195, & 20196.

Beyond the Beauty- Prestige Pro Straightener Review

I was sent 2 items from Beyond the Beauty, but I am going to review the items separately! The first item is the Prestige Pro Straightener with Tourmaline Ceramic Plates.

Reaching 235 Celsius the pro prestige is our hottest iron yet. Variable temperature control tourmaline ceramic plate. It infuses negative ions into the hair to eliminate static and frizz. Infrared technology seals moisture and essential oils into the hair. It gentle heats each hair from within without drying out the hair.

It is perfect for creating sleek, straight finishes that protects the cuticles. This results in faster styling and moisture rich, healthy looking hair!

The Prestige Pro has a sleek and sophisticated design that was made to be lightweight and comfortable to use.

Our 1" tourmaline ceramic plates was made to be multi purpose for easier straightening and curling.

Prestige Pro features:

* On/Off switch

* Swivel cord

* Temperature control up to 450 F°

* Multi-purpose design for straightening and curling hair

* Sleek and sophisticated design that was made to be lightweight and comfortable to use.

* Tourmaline ceramic plates that disperse the right amount of heat.

* Tourmaline ceramic plates that locks in hair's natural oils and prevents damaging the hair.

* Lifetime Manufacture Warranty.

You plug in the straightener and set the desired temperature. The plates heat up in less than one minute.

To straighten your hair, just take a section and make sure the section isn't too thick.

You can also use a hair clip to put aside the upper half of your hair so you can work on the bottom half first.

Start straightening from your roots (not at the scalp) and slowly work your way down to the tips. Repeat as many times as you wish for the look you desire! Straightening your hair too quickly will only waste your time and energy.

This straightener is lightweight, so it is easy to take anywhere you wish to go. It is small enough to fit inside a travel case, but it comes with it’s own travel box that will easily fit inside a larger purse or a duffel bag.

The designs on the box are absolutely genius and very modern and pretty. I love that they took the time to make sure that the packaging had wonderful designs on it. It open up to hold the straightener and has magnetic pieces inside so that it clamps together without your straightener falling out.

Inside the box, it shows you the directions of carefully handling the straightener without burning yourself, or hurting yourself in other ways. For example, Don’t use beside the bathtub, make sure that the straightener is unplugged after you use it, and do not leave down so kids can get a hold of it.

I love that it heats up extremely fast. I have had other straighteners that took up to 5-7 minutes to get all the way hot. This takes up time, and when I am in a rush it would leave me flustered. With this straightener, I can plug it up, brush my hair, and when I’m done, the straightener is ready to go.

I always put the top half of my hair up in a hair tie, so it makes it easier to get smaller parts of my hair. If you try to straighten it too fast, or straighten strands too thick- it isn’t going to work like you want it too. Even though you have to straighten hair in smaller pieces, it still doesn’t take very long for me to get the job done and my hair is long.

I love how my hair looks so healthy and moisturized even after straightening it. Most straighteners scorched or pulled my hair. This one is nothing but the best.

I straighten my hair everyday (just about) and needed a straightener that wasn’t going to burn or dry out my hair. Most straighteners would smoke and leave my hair dull and dry feeling after awhile. My hair looks and feels healthier than ever before!

I don’t like straighteners that catch my hair in the plates and rip it out or break it up. This didn’t! Never once did I have an issue with my hair getting caught in the plates!

(First Day)

This keeps my hair shiny, soft, with no frizz (Even in the sweltering heat of the summer). I can wake up the next day and just brush it and go. Even 2 days later it’s still manageable, but I have to wash it and re-do it because my hair is naturally oily.!

(Second Day) AND WINDBLOWN and not brushed after)!

I am very amazed with this straightener and LOVE that they have different color choices. They have pink, black, and purple!

Not only does it work AMAZINGLY well, but it cut my straightening time in half. Before using this I was spending almost 45 minutes straightening, and now it doesn’t even take me 20 minutes!

I’m in LOVE and would definitely recommend this straightener.

Chella Skin Care Review

Chella sent me two items from the skin care line, and I must say that I am very impressed with both of these items, and now I can’t part with them. These will definitely be in my daily routine from here on out, not only do they work amazingly well, but they smell absolutely divine.

Balancing Mask: Clay & Seaweed Treatment

Hello detox. This creamy, moisturizing clay mask is expert at going deep into pores to purify with clay then hydrates and replenishes with seaweed. The marine power plants boost moisture and restore elasticity. Apply generously to clean skin avoiding eye area. After 10 minutes, rinse and you're beautiful.

For All Skin Types ~ especially clogged pores & acne prone skin

Deeply Purifying: Clay draws out impurities while leaving nourishing essential minerals.

Hydration: Seaweed, 80 % comprised of vitamins and minerals, forms a gel that is easily absorbed into the skin and has a profound moisturizing effect.

Prevention of Breakouts: With bi-weekly use of this treatment, the skin is cleared and detoxified providing powerful protection against future breakouts. Ideal for use as a spot treatment on occasional breakouts.

To use: After cleansing, apply a generous amount to face and neck, avoiding eye area. For best results, leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use once a week and as a spot treatment for blemishes.

My Thoughts*

This Clay & Seaweed mask is light green and smells amazing. I love how a little bit spreads very well. You don't have to put a big giant glob into your hand for this to work.

It dries quickly but yet doesn't stop working after it has dried. I leave this on for the whole 10 minutes and sometimes a couple minutes longer. My face doesn't feel dried out but my pores seemed smaller and more clean than they were before using this.

It dries up acne and reduces redness. I haven’t had one breakout the entire time I’ve been using this. It has reduced the size of my pores significantly. The pores on my nose are the ones I have the most problem out of. They are the biggest, and seem to always contain blackheads.

I have tried many, many products specializing in blackheads, and only a few of them worked, but none worked as well as this did about drying the pores out and seemed to shrink them in size.

This is only a once a week treatment, because it dries up acne and blackheads, and if used too much, can dry out the skin. So it’s recommended that you only use it once a week and as a spot treatment when needed.

I have used this for about a month now, and am super impressed with it. I have used it as a mask and as a spot treatment, and it has worked well with both. It reduces the redness of the zit, as well as shrinking it in size, so it’s easier to hide beneath makeup.

I love this mask, not only for it’s quality, but for it’s quantity. I only needed about a dime size to rub over my entire face and neck. You leave it on for about 10-15 minutes and then wash it off with warm water.

I would advise you to buy a muslin washcloth, because since I’ve been using one- It seems like I have less of a mess to clean off my face when working with any face cleanser or mask. You just wet the cloth with warm-hot water and then rub the cloth in circles. Not only it is designed to also help with acne and blackheads but it feels amazing.

I have used the muslin cloth every time that I’ve put the mask on, and my skin feels as smooth and silky as a babies, without any overproducing oil or blemished popping up.

I praise Chella and their skin care line. They know how to make a woman feel absolutely beautiful and like they have a spa right at home waiting for them, whether it be after a hard days work, sweaty workout, or just to have some form of relaxation!

 Hydrating Tonic: Mineralizing Mist with Amino Acids

Hello Moisture. This refreshing tonic wakes up make-up, skin, senses and self-preservation. The secret: Tri-Amino complex shown to increase collagen production four-fold while retaining moisture and energizing skin. Allantoin and Copper reaffirms tissue health and elasticity. For post-cleansing, setting make-up or refreshing throughout the day. Firm. Fresh. Beautiful.

To use: After cleansing, mist over face and neck. Allow to absorb into skin. May also be used to refresh your skin as well as to set makeup.

Clocks, prepared to be stopped. Latest insights changed how we understand the aging process. Habit and History combine with how cells age and change. Chella addresses every influence, including breakthrough methods to restore a more active, damage-resistant state with longetivity and health. Fight aging that’s seen and unseen for undeniable, tangible results.

This is so easy to put on. I've never had a moisturizer come in a spray bottle, and this fits my needs so well. I can either keep this on my shelf, ready to be used when I need it, or keep it in my makeup bag so I can take it with me where ever I go.

How can you pass up on this offer? It isn’t only a moisturizer, but it can set mineral makeup as well. It smells fantastic and the bottle is beautiful. It is never hard to spray, doesn’t leak, and never creates a mess. I love having this handy!

I loved how it sprays directly where you want it to go. I can already have my hair done or washed and air-drying and spray this directly on my face without having to worry that it will spray my hair. It goes where it should, and makes me feel like such a QUEEN!

This does amazing effects with mineral makeup. I can do mineral face makeup and eye-shadow, and then spray this on my face and have it set perfectly. It never smears or makes It run. I’ve never had such an amazing smelling makeup primer.

I use this tons throughout the day. Even though I have naturally oily skin, this doesn't leave my face feeling greasy, no matter how much I use it throughout the day. It's like a natural skin refresher. It rejuvenates my face, wakes up my skin, and smells amazing.

The packaging is absolutely beautiful. It comes in a white/ deep orange that also goes with the bottles of the product. Even the box that it was mailed to me in had a deep orange coloring inside.

Customer Service was absolutely wonderful at all times, emailing me to make sure I had received the items and were enjoying using them. I really did. I also loved that the company went above and beyond to make sure that their customers are satisfied. YES! I was and will be a continuing customer for as long as I live.

There are so many other products that I hope to be able to try in the future. They all look amazing and offer something different. I want to first dry and day and night creams. They offer 2 types of day cream (one for combination to dry skin and the other for combination to oily skin). It has the daily dose of Vitamin A, Provitamin B5, C, and E nourish, while grape seed extract softens and fight free radicals.

Jack Black Men’s Grooming Care Review

I received 4 items from the Jack Black’s Men Grooming Line. Adam needed something to help him. His face hair grows back so fast and so thick that it’s hard to keep it in line. He shaves and within the next day, he has stubbles again. I figured if we could get something that helped to smooth the hair down that maybe it would help him.

Industrial Strength Hand Healer

This rich, non-greasy formula contains Vitamin A and E and Eucalyptus to heal heal and soothe dry, chapped, cracked hands. Any guy who works will appreciate the heavy-duty benefits. Macadamia Nut Oil penetrates and improves unsightly cuticles. The PureScience Formula licks in nature’s best-using healing botanicals and organic ingredients, with no parabens, fragrance or colorants.

To use: apply a nickel size amount to hands and cuticles anytime they feel dry or rough.

My Thoughts*

Adam works all day using his hands. He is a foreman for a tree-trimming service in our area as well as Northern Tennessee. He is used to having rough hands, and would never even think about using one of my lotions that tend to smell like brown sugar, flowers, or anything that smells like a woman.

There aren’t many men care/grooming products on the market. Not many that actually appeal to men anyway. Adam seemed to like this. Although there isn’t a fragrance listed, you can smell the natural products in this. It smells manly..

Because of the sunflower seed and Vitamin A & E, it is a natural skin healer and soother. The vitamins are natural skin smoothers, and help to keep the skin soft and from cracking. He says it even stays on after he washes his hands!

Supreme Clean- Triple Cushion Shave Lather

Supreme Cream provides a rich, luxurious lather that lifts whiskers up, away from the skin for a smooth, ultra-close shave. Triple cushion technology, with three protective, hydrating layers of Macadamia Nut oil, Glycerin and Soybean oil, means super close razor glide and a superior cushion of protection against razor burn, irritation, nicks, and cuts. The PureScience formula is paraben-free, colorant-free, fragrance-free, and dermatologist tested.

My Thoughts*

This looks like a fancy looking whip cream that shines. Adam put this on before shaving and there wasn’t any knicks, cuts, or razor burn at all. I was amazed at how well this worked and how little he had to use. He used about a quarter sized dollop and it spread over his entire 5 O’Clock shadow and the strays.

The razor seemed to just glide over it without any mishaps. He said that this worked better than any shaving cream that he had used, including name brands. When he buys shaving cream, he goes through it in no time. His hair grows WAY too fast, so he has to shave almost every day.

Not only did this products work well, but it gave him a closer and smoother shave, so he didn’t have to shave as much and risk razor burn, ingrown hairs, or missed spots.

I liked that he loved using this. Even the packaging looks manly in it’s deep blue coloring and white lettering. We will definitely be buying these products again in the future!

Face Buff Energizing Scrub

Face Buff deep-cleans and smoothes your skin, clearing the way for a closer, easier shave. Menthol and Vitamin C wake up tired skin. Small scrubbing particles open congested pores and sweep away deep-down oil, dirt and dead 85skin cells, helping to prevent ingrown hairs and minimize shaving irritation.

To use: apply a dime-size amount of Face Buff to wet face and work around in circles. Don’t rub too hard- the power of the scrub is built in. Rinse with warm water. Use 3-4 times a week before shaving.

My thoughts*

This is an extremely nice buffer and deep cleanser for men. Adam doesn’t use this everyday like the Daily Facial cleanser, but he does use it quite often. Not only does this clean extremely well, but it’s like an exfoliator for men.

Adam really needed this. He works outside all day in the heat, so naturally he sweats like something awful. He uses this to get the deep down dirt and old skin off so that he doesn’t have blackheads or breakouts from the oil.

This is a liquidy type of buffer, and you can feel the cleanser beads inside it. This is what exfoliates the skin and gets all the dirt out. He only needs a dime size amount to get his entire face clean.

It smells amazing as well. His skin feels so smooth and smells so completely clean. The thing about this is, you aren’t supposed to scrub really hard because the scrub part is built in with the beads!

This is supposed to be 3-4 times a week before shaving (and before you use the shave lather). It reduces the amount of ingrown hairs that grow as well as helps reduce razor irritation and burns.

Adam said it worked extremely well, and that he liked the smell of it. It smells like menthol, but it does help to perk up the skin and reduce redness and irritation as well as razor burns. It is also awesome at helping get the closest shave that a man can manage. This helps keep their hair from growing back too fast and reduces the amount of times they have to shave each week.

Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser

Pure Clean is a unique 2-in-1 facial cleanser and toner that removes deep-down dirt and oil for a clear, smooth, shave-ready skin.  Formulated with sulfate-free surfactants derived from coconut and oat, the rich lather gently cleanses without over-drying. Leaves skin clean, hydrated and fresh.

PureScience Formulas lick in nature’s best to please even the most sensitive skin-using a blend of naturally derived surfactants and certified organic ingredients, with no parabens, fragrance or colorants. And, always dermatologist tested.

Adam has used this every single day for over a month, and he still has almost an entire bottle. I was amazed when I picked it up to clean the counter, how heavy the bottle still was. He said he didn’t need very much at all to wash his face.

He comes every day and washes his face and hair and then showers either right after or if he has to go to the post office to turn in his paper work, after he gets back. So he was glad to have something that works easily and quickly.

Regular soap dries his face out, so he was usually using either my face wash or body wash. He gets woodchips, dust, and grime all over his face and in his hair.

I was excited to give him these treats, because he deserves something that he can use that looks and smells manly. He was using whatever he could grab at the time to get his face clean and all the woodchips and dust off, so I put this right by the sink.

He likes it and has religiously stuck to using it daily. He really likes it, and I am glad he likes it. This gently cleans his face without leaving it oily (like when he was using the body wash), or leaving it dried out (when he used the bar soap). This is a rich lathered face wash that washes clean and leaves his face smooth!

I am glad that these products are sulfate-free and are certified organics. They are also made in the United States, which is also a plus to me. There aren’t any chemicals or fragrances either. Although you can smell the natural products inside the products.

I really loved all of these products. I didn’t USE them, but Adam did and he did nothing but praised them. He told all his friends about them, and seemed to want to keep using them for cleansing AND shaving.

Men need something to add to their grooming without smelling “all girly” as Adam says. He enjoyed using the products and I’m excited that he found something that he liked!

Moppy Review & Giveaway-Natural House Cleaning Products

Natural House is a company that offers natural household cleaning products that are non-toxic, eco-friendly, biodegradable, and that contain probiotic cleaning agents strong enough for commercial clean-up, yet safe and gentle for everyone in your home, including infants and toddlers.

Probiotics help to eliminate odors at their source AND keep working long after you’ve finished cleaning.

I have previously reviewed three of their other products; sinky, flushy, and trashy. I loved every single one of them, and have yet to find anything that can compare to how well they work and how easy it is to use. The names are so unique and catchy as well!!

This time, I was sent Moppy It’s an all natural floor cleaner that’s safe to use on many different surfaces including high-gloss, terrazzo, marble, slate, vinyl, tile, and finished hardwood surfaces.

We have linoleum throughout our house (where there isn’t carpet). There are 4 packets in each bag, and so one bag will last all month long. One packet a week, because Moppy only needs to be used once a week.

It is meant to be used in a bucket with a regular standardized mop. I filled up my mop bucket with warm/hot water and dropped in the Moppy packet. It immediately started fizzing and bubbling. I gave it a full minute to make sure the packet was entirely dissolved, and then went to work.

I have to say, Moppy is just as genius as the other products that Natural House makes. I didn’t have to use a ton of elbow grease and backbone to get the dirt and spills off the floor. Having young kids that makes ton of spills, this was brilliant.

The Moppy scent is absolutely divine. It smells clean, but it doesn’t overpower. You can tell that it doesn’t have chemicals or bleach in it, although it works way better than those cleaners that do. I was amazed, but then again, I’ve worked with Natural House before and never expect anything less than astonishment when it comes to their cleaners.

My floor was sparkling and smelled awesome as well. There wasn’t any residue or left over soap on the floors afterward. It didn’t take long to dry, and the floors were shiny all week. I was amazed and relieved that I didn’t have to mop every single day!

I love the personalized stationery they sent. It measures 4.25″ x 5.5″.  It is created on 100% recycled heavyweight cardstock, and It came with heavyweight recycled matching envelopes.  Awesome Quality!!

I gave them out with gifts for mother’s day with personalized notes on the stationary. Everybody loved them!

Babadoo Designs also carries photo cards, religious cards, t-shirts, thank you cards, and so much more. If you don’t see something you are looking for, you can just email them and they will try their best to get you what you’re trying to find!

Their stationary and matching tee won “Best Gift Award”. Also great for parties. In addition to giving the birthday child personalized invitations, give them a matching shirt. Also a great idea: Give out matching shirts as a birthday party favor.

These would also be great for baby showers, anniversary showers, wedding parties, bridal showers, and more.

The stationary would be a great gift for your mom, best friends, child’s teacher, engagement or wedding, or as a thank you gift.!

Murad Acne Treatment and Repair Review

I received 3 wonderful products from Murad. I loved them all and they helped more than any other acne medicine I have ever used in my entire life. I wish I had known about these when I was a teen and when I was pregnant. These products are developed by dermatologists specifically for keeping your face clear of acne, healthy, and beautiful.

2-Treat and Repair
Acne Treatment Concealer
To use: Apply a thin layer on affected area once or twice daily.
I am amazed at this concealer, I really am. Usually when I get a zit or two, I have trouble covering them, even if it isn’t big OR have redness to it. I tried at first (when I was younger) to just cover them up with makeup, but it never worked. The makeup would always let it show through. Other concealers weren’t as good as this one is either.

The reason this one is so good is because it also contains the ingredients to kill the zit rather than just covering it up. So it’s helping to heal AND covering it at the same time.
I don’t get breakouts very much, but when I do- I definitely want this on hand. It’s so small and compact that it can fit inside even the smallest purse or makeup bag. It’s about the size of a lipgloss tube.

The tube contains a lot of concealer because it twists up to reveal more like a lipstick container. This is absolutely the best concealer I have ever used. It doesn’t dry out and goes on smoothly.
This would be perfect for using when you have an unexpected breakout and have someone important to be. Makes it easy to cover the zits, but also contains the medicine to kill the zits instead of just covering them up. I love this!!

I even use this for my under eye circles because you can dab this on and it doesn’t smear or come off. So even parts of my skin that doesn’t have breakouts, I apply this. It is the perfect consistency- not too thin, where it doesn’t cover up zits at all, and not too thick and cakey where it becomes a problem when used with makeup.

Love this product and would definitely be buying this again!


2-Treat and Repair
Exfoliating Acne Treatment Gel
To use: Everyday after cleansing and toning massage evenly over face and neck.
This is a clear liquid gel that goes on after you have already cleaned your face. It is not sticky and doesn’t have a fragrance.

It lasts a long time too. Not even a full pump is more than enough for my entire face and neck. It goes on smoothly and dries quickly.

It comes in a pump action tube which I love. I like it even better because you can turn it to the right to prevent it from coming out without you wanting it to. I don’t know how many times I’ve had pump action tubes to get in or on everything within reach because I’ve absentmindedly thrown it in my purse or makeup bag and it squirt everywhere.

This works wonders with makeup as well. I love being able to wash my face and then put this gel and then the perfecting lotion on, then hide the spots with the concealer, and put the rest of my makeup on.

I think this really helps to prevent clogged pores, and to clear the pores that are clogged. I loved this product, as well as the others that I was sent. This wakes my skin up!

This is perfect for all seasons, but especially for my oily prone skin in the summer months. I have loved using this. I can wake up and wash my face and put this and the perfecting lotion on, a little makeup and I’m ready to go.

3-Hydrate/Protect

Skin Perfecting Lotion
Achieve uniform texture and tone. This ultra-light, oil-free lotion hydrates without leaving an oily residue. Retinol and arnica work together to reduce redness and help prevent clogged pores for a softer, more evenly balanced texture. Retinol and queen of meadow extract penetrate pores to keep them clear Honey extract is toning and tightening Algae extract provides sebum control
To use: Everyday after cleansing and toning massage evenly over face and neck.

This is a creamy white liquid that also has no fragrance. It isn’t greasy or too thin. It’s the perfect consistency to give you the moisture you need for the day without clogging your pores and giving you acne or blackheads.

I have noticed that the size of my pores have completely downsized. The pores in my nose were huge which tended to let me get blackheads a lot. Especially in the summer months I used to fight blackheads with a vengeance with no help from anything I tried.

I not only use this on my face but have been using this to see if it will clear up my Keratosis Pilaris (chicken skin) which only shows up on my thighs. It is shown that 50% of Americans have this but don’t know what it is.

I’ve had it since I was about 12, and didn’t know what it was until a couple of years ago. You would rarely catch me wearing shorts, a short skirt, or a bathing suit. They show up in the sun and look like a bad acne rash but itches.

I have tried some products before that gave me relief and was helping to prevent it, but I was curious whether this would work also. Since it’s designed to perfect the skin, I thought it possibly could help me out.

I stopped all other treatment and just exclusively used this lotion on the “chicken skin”. Within 3 days the size of the bumps went from acne sized bumps to very small pencil tip size. They were also grouped together in patches and were everywhere- now there aren’t very many at all and they are very teeny tiny, so it’s not going to be much longer before they aren’t even visible any longer.

This lotion has left not only my face but my legs so soft and smooth, yet not greasy. Because it doesn’t have a fragrance, this would work wonders for people who have very sensitive skin. I know tons of people who can’t treat their acne on a daily basis because of the over drying effects that most acne treatment gives.

These product are amazing and I loved THEM! I am so glad that I was given the chance to work with Murad. They are an amazing company. I got the products EXTREMELY fast, and customer service was SUPERB. I love everything about this company and their products.

They DID work quickly, just as they said they would. I started seeing results within the first 2-3 uses, which is AMAZING. Who wants blackheads or breakouts at an important event such as a wedding, a big company party, or even just daily? I didn’t and haven’t, but I have never seen anything work so quickly and keep providing protection and treatment as well as these have.
TWO thumbs up from me!

Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10 Review

 

Exuviance Daily Antioxidant Peel CA10

Contains 36 pads (including 1 test pad) + peel solution, 1.9 fl oz

Safely and easily build the benefits of a peel into your daily routine with our one-step leave-on pad, formulated to exfoliate and smooth without downtime, and deliver potent antioxidant protection for everyday defense against aging.

The everyday formula  contains 10% Citric Acid, clinically proven to deliver younger looking skin with noticeable improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, texture, and tone.

Direction: Pour bottle of solution slowly over pads in jar and discard bottle. Replace cap tightly on jar. For optional results, wipe pad over cleansed face daily. Gently massage in any remaining fluid.

My thoughts*

The Exuviance box came with the jar of 36 pads and then a separate jar of the antioxidant liquid. You pour the liquid on top of the pads and shake up the jar. You discard the antioxidant jar and just have the one jar with the pads in it to use.

Each morning after washing my face, I shake the jar and rub the pad containing the liquid peel over my face. I was surprised at how refreshed my face feels after using this. My skin feels smoother, more moisturized, and looks extremely healthier just after a couple of uses.

The pads make it so much easier to apply. I can easily rub this on my face and neck without any problems, and it dries so quickly. The pads does not need to be dipped into anything, because the liquid has already been poured on top of the pads. You don’t have rinse the pads or add anything extra to it.

After wiping with the exuviance pads I then use my acne gel and spray moisturizer and can instantly apply my make-up because of how fast it sets into my skin. There is a slight stinging sensation, but it’s just the citric acid and nothing to worry about. It’s what it does, how it works, and I must say that it does it’s job absolutely wonderfully.

Even after washing my face, I was surprised to see that the pads that you rub on your face for this peel pick up what make-up and dirt is left over. The pads have a raised surface that help to stimulate and cleanse your skin very well.

My skin looks so clear or vibrant than now, and I owe it all to these Exuviance pads. I’ve never seen a peel used on a pad. It doesn’t “peel” though. It just soaks into the skin and can be used under make-up if you want to use it in the morning, or can be used under a night time moisturizer, if you want to use it at night.

I love knowing that this isn’t just working on the top layer of skin. This works on all layers to give skin such a youthful glow, while keeping it healthy. It also stimulates and helps the skin to rejuvenate itself- from sun damage and acne.

Most antiaging products have some kind of chemical or something that always makes face red and look very irritated. I have to say that this doesn’t. It never ONCE made my face look anything but refreshed and healthy.

After using this for awhile, I don’t even mind using this and then going without makeup all day. It seems to make every single layer of skin glow healthily.

I loved this product and would love to try more Exuviance products in the future. This is on my to buy list now! LOVED it.!

Somme Institute: Boost Warming Mask Review

 

Boost Warming Mask-

 

 

The Somme Institute is dedicated to the science of skin perfection. Found exclusively in the Somme product line and based on years of scientific research and clinical trials*, Molecular Dispersion Technology is the most significant advancement in skin care. *Somme Institute clinical trials were conducted using Ultra Violet Photography to expose wrinkles, sun damage and acne beneath the skin's surface. Molecular Dispersion Technology (MDT5) is a non-prescription synthesis of five highly-engineered vitamin compounds, designed to treat specific areas within the skin. The advanced delivery system allows high concentrations of vitamins to infiltrate the skin without toxicity or loss of potency and its unique biochemical formula will not oxidize when exposed to air or light.

It repairs sun damage

Reverses fine lines and wrinkles

Eliminates acne without redness, drying, or irritation

And will not clog pores.

This mask is a multi-tasking gently-warming treatment that purifies, exfoliates, and nourishes the skin. The mask will boost the effect of Somme Institute 5-step regimen. Infused with a specialized blend of minerals, enzymes, and vitamins that helps to bring clarity to the skin. The warming action increases the blood circulation which supports and nourishes healthy skin cells.

How to use: Apply a generous amount of Boost to face and neck, on dry skin.

My thoughts*

The packaging was simple yet elegant at the same time. It came in a solid white box with a single purple dot on the exterior about the size of a quarter. The same can be said about the mask bottle. It's white with a purple dot, with instructions on the opposite side.

Although other masks go on damp skin, you put this in your hand and mix & massage this into dry skin. It has no problem going on dry skin at all. It spreads just like warm frosting on a cake.

As soon as you apply this, you can feel the warmness starting. It feels so amazing, like having a spa right at home. I've never used a mask that had a warming technology before, so this was a first for me. You can use this as often as you need to, or just use it once or twice a week. It is recommended that you use this 1-3 times a week for the best results, but I try and use it every other day because I love how it feels.

After only the first or second use, my face did look WAY healthier. It took all the dryness out, while not leaving too much oil on my face. I didn't have any problems with breakouts at all, which is surprising for me in the summer months. My skin was clearer then it has ever been and seemed to glow within. This was from the warming mask creating a better circulation in the blood to my face.

My skin was nourished and moisturized and extremely smooth because of the exfoliation that this mask gives. It's amazing that it cleanses, purifies, and exfoliates so well within those 7-10 minutes, but it DID! I was thrilled. I've never had a mask be able to do all this AND give absolutely astonishing results after just 1 use.

The mask is a creamy white color and feels silky to the touch. It is very fragrant and smells absolutely delicious.

I love how this smells, like a warm pumpkin pie mixture (yum). It isn't an overpowering smell though, just enough that I could smell it while it was on.

It isn't often that you see a mask like this that is made for all skin types. Usually a company makes a couple of different masks (for different skin types) because what dry skin needs isn't necessarily what oily or combination skin needs. This mask is totally different from any other mask that I've ever seen because it doesn't strip oils, nor is it TOO oily, it is just the right OOMP for all skin types. I say that's a HUGE plus in my book.

My skin not only looked beautiful, but I could FEEL the beauty of it. I know that may sound odd, but this mask is like heaven on earth. This is like having a spa at home! It is so relaxing yet energizing at the same time. It relaxes my senses with the scent and warming quality, yet energized my thoughts. It felt absolutely divine.

I also add in customer service to my reviews because I've had some products take forever to come to my doorstep, and it absolutely worries me to death. Where there are so many scams and stuff online, I start thinking maybe I got jipped if a product doesn't come in a timely manner. This was received within just a couple of days and customer service was always friendly and helpful through anything. They even sent a follow-up email to make sure I received the product and was enjoying it. ! That's going above and beyond for their product line, and I love when a company does that for their customers.

I loved everything about this company and this mask. Although the mask is $40, I definitely think that it's worth it. You have to add in how long it lasts- this takes just a size of a nickel to spread over entire face and neck. I've seen other products that were more expensive, and didn't cover HALF of what this mask can do.

I haven't had the opportunity to try any of the other Somme Institute products, but I hope to be able to work with them again the future.

About Somme Institute:

Somme Institute is a product line that is currently compiled of 9 skin care products. They are known for their 5-step product grouping that consists of a cleanser, exfoliator, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen.

Somme Institute’s technology called "MDT5" (Molecular dispersion technology 5), claims to be able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, repair sun damage, even out discoloration and brown spots, treat acne, treat rosacea and improves tone, texture and clarity.
