Review: Lajupette Fashion- Stylish Assorted Handbag

Are you in need of some sexy beautiful shoes, amazing purses, or even clothes? Lajupette has it all in ONE spot! They even sell intimates and plus sizes! They are always on the lookout for the newest fashionable items!

I was given a chance to review an item from this amazing company. It was so hard for me to choose, because they had so many unique items that were just fabulous. They had some awesome shoes that I wanted to try, but they were out of my size, so I went with a purse. Who would’ve thought?

I ended up choosing an amazing stylish assorted handbag. They had four different colors to choose from- black, brown, yellow, and brown. Since I have way too many black purses as it is,so  I ended up getting the brown one.

It arrived super fast- like lightening! I was amazed at how fast it came. Usually it takes 2 weeks to get something by mail, but within the same week- I was toting this amazing bag.!

I loved this bag. The outside of the bag had a ribbon like detail on the front with little silver brad/buttons to make the ribbon pop! On the other side (outside) was a small zipper. This is the perfect size for lipstick, chap stick, or notes!

In the inside it has such a pretty fabric. The fabric is a black/brown mixture with flowers and a tiny grid. It’s a strong fabric, so I know it isn’t going to rip in the future. It has 2 pockets on one side and a sip closure on the other. The pocket side has a large and medium pocket. These are just the right size for my phone and camera. In the zipper part, I keep my pens and a small notebook!

It a larger bag, which is what I love. I hate packing little small purses that hardly fit anything inside. I have two kids- I need to be able to pack snacks and stuff if we are going somewhere, and it makes sense not to have to pack another bag just for something small.

It is definitely beautiful! I love the details and how strong the inside fabric is. The fact that it has a ton of room inside along with the pockets is also a huge plus for me! The best thing about this website is the PRICES! This purse is only $24.50!

Review: Cool Gear To-Go Coffee Cup & EZ-Freeze Pure Water Bottle

 

EZ-Freeze Pure Water Bottle

I needed to implement something into my diet so that I would drink more water. I absolutely DESPISE tap water, especially where I live. I can take the chemicals and chlorine in it, so I don’t drink it.

If I drank water, it’d be bottled water. I not only feel bad for continuously throwing plastic bottles out (when I’m out and about and have no recycling bin), but buying cases of water can get pretty expensive after awhile.

When I seen that Cool Gear had an amazing water bottle that not only filters out the taste of the chlorine and chemicals, but it comes with a freeze stick that can keep your water fresh and cold even longer!

I had absolutely no issues with this at all. You can take the stick (the blue thing you see inside the cup in the picture above) and put it in the freezer. When you’re ready to head out the door, grab the freeze stick- put it back in the bottle, fill it up with water, and wa-lah INSTANTLY cold water.

I love that when we go somewhere in the car- I can bring this for the kids. I know that they’re hydrated, there are no spills, and they have clean water without chemicals. The plastic is BPA free, so it’s completely safe.

Filters up to 100 gallons of water (approximately 4+ months
depending on usage). So not only is it saving me money, but I don’t have to drink from plastic! There replacement filters available as well.!

I can put this in my purse without it spilling! Even when the bottle is tipped sideways, so that’s a MAJOR plus. As a mom, I already have to carry my stuff, the kids stuff, and hold their hands when we are walking to car- so I wouldn’t have had room if I would have had to pack this!

I also love that this will fit in my car cup holder. Many water bottles won’t do this and my drink ends up either being between my legs or some place I know I can reach while driving. I give this a two thumbs up!

Coffee Travel Mug 15 oz.

Coffee is my go-to drink. I LOVE coffee! Whether it’s steaming hot, cold, iced, or frozen- I do it. I can’t get my morning started without it. Now that Aidan started school, I needed something that I could take with me to drop him off in the mornings!

I like going to coffee shops and such, but the thought of throwing away so many different variety of cups, some which don’t break down all the way makes me feel bad. The best way to eliminate throwing so may cups away is to go eco.

Buying a regular coffee mug wasn’t for me. I wanted something that was insulated so that my coffee would stay warm. Although I LIKE drinking cold coffee, I don’t like drinking my HOT coffee that’s turned cold. If I want it cold, I’ll buy it that way!

Not only is this insulated, but it’s double wall insulated so my coffee stays extra hot Love it! It’s such a PRETTY cup. I love that they offer not only 4 different colors (green, black, pink or purple), but each color has a different design on it.

The top is easy to flip back and drink out of, and it doesn’t spill all down my shirt when I take a drink. I can’t feel the hotness of the coffee through the cup, which is a huge plus.

It is completely BPA free, so the plastic isn’t made with any chemicals. It is very easy to wash with your hands (the cup is wide enough for my hand to fit in with a washcloth) or it’s top shelf dishwasher safe. I don’t have a dishwasher, so I love that I can easily fit my hand inside all the way to the bottom without having to stick a spoon inside the cup on top of the washcloth to get the bottom clean.

I love the design and the fact I can run around in the morning after dropping my son off at school and don’t have to go without coffee. This was invented for me, I think. For all you moms looking for another alternative- I just found a really great one!

Both of these products would make very awesome Christmas gifts or Stocking stuffers for someone you love. If you know a coffeeholic get them the travel coffee mug! If you know someone who complains about tap water the EZ freeze bottle would be perfect!

While you’re there- don’t forget to look through their kids items! They have very modern, colorful designs that no kid could resist!

Review: AnneMarie Gianni Skincare- Aloe-Herb Cleanser & Ayurvedic Facial Scrub

AnneMarie is an amazing woman, with an amazing goal- to give us REAL eco-friendly skincare.

Even the packaging is all natural. The bottles that her products come in are Miron Violet Glass. Reading about this on her website- made me learn some new and interesting insights to glass. I had absolutely no clue that other glass bottles; whether they are clear, green, blue, or brown- will let sunlight in and it will damage skin care products! She uses this certain special glass bottles that preserve the products while being eco-friendly. You can read more about the bottles here!

I love when companies try their very best- not to only bring the customer happiness with their products, but also aren’t persuaded to take the cheaper route here and there- adding small bits of chemicals and try and pass the product off as all natural. When reading the website, AnneMarie clearly states that when she first began her business that others tried to get her to do this and SHE WAS NOT ok with this! KUDOS for her and FOR US! I’m glad she took a stand for us!

So, not only are her products 100% organic and natural, but the bottles are as well. It adds class and sophistication to skin care that having a plastic bottle just doesn’t! I love the 2 items I was sent and the bottle & jar they came in.

I was sent the AnneMarie Gianni Aloe-Herb Cleanser which is only $24.95 on the website. That isn’t too bad for a all natural cleanser AND an amazing bottle that not only keeps the product safe but essentially keeps them fresher for a longer period of time.!

I loved the little symbol (her company icon) on the bottle. It is simple yet elegant- just like the cleanser. I love her already! Cleansing with herbs, aloe, and plants? WHY yes! AnneMarie has definitely done her research because I fell in LOVE with this product.

It is pH balanced to enhance skins natural acid mantle and protect the skins natural moisture. My skin was silky soft and I knew that I had nothing to worry about pertaining chemicals!

This was extremely mild cleanser that safely and effectively removed all the dirt and oils on my face. Even that deep down dirt went bye-bye, and I was left with soothed, smoothed, all naturally cleaned skin! Couldn’t have asked for more from this product!

You can use this in the morning, at night, or both. You can put it on dry or damp skin, just massage it into your face and neck and rinse well. It smells like springtime flowers, so I was getting a hint of aromatherapy while I washed my face.

It is a creamy white liquid that favors a lotion,and has a wonderful smell. It massages right into my skin without absolutely no problem. AND it makes my bathroom counter look good too!

My skin wasn’t only clean (VERY clean), but it was free from acne and blemishes. It was hydrated and smooth. My skin looks absolutely beautiful, glowing, and now my makeup goes on without a flaw!

It comes with a pump-top bottle, so it’s easy to get only the amount that’s needed when it’s needed. This also keeps you from overusing and wasting the product! It smells amazing- you can absolutely tell that this was made with nothing but herbs, plants, and a little aloe vera.

The Aloe Vera in this is what soothes the skin so much. It’s also a very well known product for healing acne and other skin trouble! This has a blend of essential fatty acids that you skin needs (and almost identical) to what you skin already produces.

If you have any kind of skin care damage, this product will also help to repair the free-radical damage so that you skin can transform back into it’s naturally healthy beautiful self. It’s a miracle skin potion in a beautiful bottle!

The ingredients are right on the package. They are easy to read and easy to understand. This is SO unlike most facial cleansers who use detergents and chemicals to scrub the dirt from your face. Why would YOU use those nasty chemicals when there is something just as powerful but is made with vegan, gluten-free products?

Ingredients:

Love, organic aloe vera juice infused with organic herbs (lavender flowers, calendula flowers, life everlasting flowers, hyssop, lemon balm, neem leaf, olive leaf, plantago leaf ); organic coconut oil; cocoglucoside (coconut oil & glycerine); organic vegetable glycerine; aspen bark extract; organic ruby grapefruit oil; organic lemon oil; organic green mandarin oil; xanthan gum; organic rosemary oleoresin.

Next on the list is the Ayurvedic Facial Scrub. This is all about natural exfoliation. AnneMarie has blended Indian herbs, Moroccan Rhassoul Clay and traditional herbal treatments to not only exfoliate the dead skin cells away, but it nourishes as well.

My skin could definitely use a rejuvenation. My skin cells produce at a very high rate- which tend to leave me with blackheads on my nose and on my chin.

The Rhassoul clay is what makes for the natural exfoliation. Most companies exfoliation products strip my skin and make my skin extremely red for about 30 minutes after use. NOT with this, you just mix it with a cleanser ( the Aloe-Herb cleanser is recommended). and massage it on your face and neck along with the cleanser. This has a wide variety of minerals to moisturize and nourish AS it exfoliates, and it has an amazing quality of being able to soak up and remove the dirt, oil, and toxins from the skin!

Fenugreek seeds have been found to contain protein, vitamin C, niacin, and potassium, as well as diosgenin, which is found to be anti-inflammatory. Fenugreek may also soothe irritated skin and relieve surface aches and pains.

I was amazed at her ability to find such amazing ingredients. I had actually never heard of either the Fenugreek seeds or the Rhassoul clay, but they have provided such an amazing results without irritating my skin.

For use- you mix a teaspoon of the scrub with 2-3 pumps of the cleanser and a small amount of water three to four times a week. You wash your face clean with a warm, wet washcloth after scrubbing/massaging the mixture into your skin.

When I first opened the jar, I kind of had my doubts. I had never used an “exfoliator” that didn’t have tiny microbeads. This looked like fine ground up spices and smelled like it too.

I was immediately impressed after using it though. I thought it was going to be too mild for my oily skin, but it wasn’t. My skin was soft, VERY clean, and there was absolutely no redness to my skin afterwards!

If you’re looking for a more gentle way to exfoliate your skin, this is absolutely perfect. It doesn’t sting or burn when too close to the eyes. I got accustomed to the spice smell.

BUY IT: You can buy the Ayurvedic Facial Scrub. for 24.95 online or you can click here to find a store near YOU!

Ingredients:

Love, organic lavender flowers; organic fenugreek seed; rhassoul clay; organic rosemary leaves; organic lemon balm leaves; organic shavegrass (horsetail herb); organic neem leaves; organic comfrey root; organic lemon peel; honey powder.

Some other products I would love to try!

Review & Giveaway- Nature’s Sleep Vitax Memory Foam Pillow

Out of all he different styles of pillows that I’ve tried in the past, I’ve never had the experience of trying a memory foam pillow. MY oh MY how wonderful it is.
I have severe scoliosis in my neck and back. Most of the time I feel like my neck bone is pushing down on my spine, and it hurts like you wouldn’t believe. This also leads to severe headaches and migraines most of the time.
Having a memory foam pillow is simply AMAZING! I can’t believe how much it has not only helped with the pain, but has helped me sleep through the night without tossing and turning this way and that to get comfortable. The memory foam DOES contour to my neck and head relieving the pain that comes with having a pillow that is too hard or too soft.
The strength of this pillow is what has made me fall in love with this pillow! The contents inside will never shift or clump up- it will always hold the same support! Now when I wake up there’s no stiffness in my neck and back, and no migraine.
Before using the Nature’s Sleep Vitex Memory Foam Pillow, it would take me more than an hour just to wake up and shake the headache. I would wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a dump truck in my sleep. The pain would even end up giving me headaches in my eyes (if that makes sense to you).
This pillow has lead me to live a day full of energy and vitality because I’m actually spending more time sleeping! Having 2 kids under 5- I can’t afford to be sleepy or tired throughout the day- yet I’ve spent the last 2 years with basically hardly any sleep during the nights.
If it wasn’t me waking up with pain or a headache- it was the kids waking up crying. Now that I’ve gotten them settled and sleeping peacefully throughout the night- I didn’t want to waste it on waking up MYSELF full of pain! Now I don’t!
Now that I’m not sleeping on a pillow that’s either too hard or too soft- I feel like I’m in dreamland as soon as my head hits the pillow! I’m pretty sure if I had a mattress to match- I’d NEVER get out of bed. I’d sleep all day!
If you have any kind of pain or discomfort when you wake up- you might actually want to check your pillow. Is it too hard or too soft. If your pillow is too hard your head is going to be out of proportion with the rest of your body (sitting higher then your spine) when you sleep.  If you’re pillow is too soft- your head is (sitting lower) than your spine. This can lead to back and neck pain!

Because Nature’s Sleep and Made.By.Jess wants YOU to get a comfortable nights sleep and wake up feeling refreshed- we have partnered up to bring you a GIVEAWAY! Yes, a giveaway. You will get your chance to win 1 out of the 4 different types of memory pillows

Review: Goldwell Kerasilk Treatment & Rich Repair Leave-in Serum

Goldwell Kerasilk Treatment

Moisturize your hair with the richest care of Goldwell Kerasilk for extremely dry, damaged and unmanageable hair.

I hate to admit this, but I have done some serious damage to my hair in the last year ALONE. From blow-drying, straightening, curling, and dyeing- my hair has taken a health plunge!

When I heard about the Goldwell Kerasilk Treatment I just had to give it a try! This doesn’t just straighten your hairs damage dilemmas out, but it goes straight to the source of damage- curing it of all it’s woes. This is a very intense revitalizing hair treatment that has brought my hair back to life.

It has rebalanced my entire hair structure, to not only heal the damage but has made it smooth, sleek, and easy to comb. This is a lot coming from someone who has hair halfway down my back.

I actually ended up cutting my hair extremely short in March 2011 just so I wouldn’t have to deal with the nonsense of never-ending tangles and having to throw it up in hair ties all the time. Truth be told I was ashamed for my mop! I never really done ANYTHING with it back then other than hair ties!

What can I say- I had a 4 year old and a 2 year old who was constantly running me ragged. SO I basically had NO me time to pay attention to either the health of my hair or how it looked during the day. I mean- I’d usually end up with chocolate or something sticky in it by noon anyway!

Now that my son is 5 and in school all day- and it’s just my daughter and myself at home, it has given me some ME time. I can now see what I have done to my hair and how it has effected my overall look.

How can someone LOOK beautiful or confident when they don’t feel like it? Hair health has everything to do with feeling beautiful. Because I had dry, moderately damaged hair- I in NO way wanted to show it off.

Now that I have found such heaven in a bottle- that isn’t the case anymore. My hair went from a poofy ball of a frizzed tangled mess to absolutely stunning smooth silky hair within 2 1/2 weeks.

This has absolutely all the way around recovered and replenished the health of my hair. Now I can proudly wear my hair down without feeling like might become a catastrophic  mess within a couple of hours.

I can wear my hair straight (which it is naturally) or curl it whatever way I want and not worry that it’s going to frizz out within the hour (which it usually did)

See how healthy it looks now? I love it. I am never never never giving this up. You’ll find this hidden in the depths of my casket when I croak- I swear. Not only has it re-conditioned my hair, but it smells AMAZING.

I used this about 2-3 times a week after shampooing. I towel-dried my hair until it was only slightly damp, and then rubbed this on my hair (missing the roots) and coming down the hair shaft with it. I left it on for about 12-15 minutes. You can leave it on for 5-15, it’s your choice of how damaged you think your hair is, and then rinse it out like a normal conditioner.

This is absolutely amazing, because it’s safe to use with color-treated or permed hair. Even if you get your hair bleached (which causes the most extreme damage) you can use this to cure the damage, split ends, and brittleness.

It is a white lotion like liquid that is creamy and magnificent in texture. It smells amazing, and I didn’t need very much at all to get my entire length of hair conditioned.

BUY IT: You can buy the Goldwell Kerasilk Treatment at a salon near you, just click on the words and you can find one that distributes it If they don’t have it, you can ask and they will most likely order it just for you!

Goldwell DualSenses Rich Repair Leave-in Serum

Dry hair? Stressed hair? Damaged hair? I have what you’ve been looking for! This has an instant smoothing effect to help and heal the damage, no matter how bad the damage is.

This has Pashmina Silk Proteins combined with the Instant Microfluid Technology to give you an enhanced shine, smooth silky hair, and protection from styling tools.

This doesn’t only repair while you use it. It has a long-lasting effect to KEEP your hair healthy and beautiful. This grabs a hold of unruly, rebellious, and untamable hair and whips it back into shape.

It smells great, works great, and works wonders. This size is about a 0.6 oz bottle- but very little is needed. Because it’s a leave-in, I use it after shampooing and conditoning. I wait until it’s only slightly damp and then drip a couple drops on my brush and run it through my hair.

Not only does it make my hair less frizzy when I blow dry it, but it helps with the frizz when I DON’T blowdry it. This is amazing considering how unmanageable it becomes if I don’t! I’ve never gotten such quick results!

I wanted to dye my hair a darker shade after the summer (because it lightens it up) but my hair just didn’t want to behave after that. It did everything it could to become rebellious. Now- the rebelliousness got it’s butt kicked and I am GLAD!

Review: Snowberry Skincare- Facial Massage Oil & SPF 15 Sun Protection

Snowberry is a very unique company with a very distinct message to all of us. We don’t have to sacrifice quality to be eco-friendly. These products are all made with natural plant extracts. Not only do these certain plant extracts add to the benefits of the skincare in the product, but it adds such a natural botanical YUMMY smell! I loved both of the products that you will read about below.

Snowberry is amazing and I definitely want to add more of their products to my skincare regimen. Just using a Facial Massage Oil and a Broad Spectrum SPF sun protectant/moisturizer has given my complexion such a bright and healthy look AND feel.

Soothing Facial Massage Oil

Does your skin need a refreshment course? Whether you have dry skin, sensitive skin, or just want silky smooth skin- I have an amazing facial oil that I want to tell you about!

Healthy skin depends on regular massaging. Massaging your face does it a ton of good.Not only does it renew your facial skin by boosting circulation, but it also helps to remove toxins and refreshes your cell structure.

Snowberry's Soothing Facial Massage Oil has an amazing blend of cherished plant oils and plant extracts that have anti-aging benefits. This is an amazing facial oil for every type of skin- EVEN sensitive skin. It is amazing at comforting the skin from irritation, redness, and inflammation.

Because this is made with plant oils and extracts, it is 100% all natural and organic product. When I got this in the mail- I was amazed at just how beautiful the bottle was. It’s simple design brings out the natural beauty of it.

It has a pimp action bottle that makes it easy for me to get just the right amount. This makes it easier to prolong the life of the product, because I’m not overusing it. It has a light blue transparent color and smells beautifully botanical.

I use this after exfoliating about twice a week. I use it in circular motion all over my face about 5 minutes after exfoliating. It has an extract of the German chamomile flower, which helps it soothe the redness of exfoliating the skin. It’s best to pat dry after you use it, so that it stays on the skin instead of being rubbed off onto the washcloth or towel.

I love how pure and silky this feels. I love it so much that I even use it as a daily moisturizer- . Not only does it soothe my skin, but it feels like a refreshment drink for my skin!. Smells amazing and feels like a pearly silk liquid that pampers my skin. My skin not only glows, but my skin basks in the glory of this amazing facial oil.

If you’re looking for an amazing stocking stuffer to give.. pick this! They’ll be thanking you all year long.

 

Ingredients:

Macadamia Integrifolia Seed Oil, Passiflora Incarnata Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (sunflower) Seed Oil, Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Oil, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil/ Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract/Tocopherol, DPG Quercus Suber Bark (Cork) Extract, Bisabolol, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Tocopherol (mixed) & Beta-Sitosterol & Squalene (sunflower), Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Rosa Rubginosa (Rosehip) Seed Oil, Punica Granatum Seed Extract, Guaiazulene.

BUY IT: You can buy the Snowberry Soothing Facial Massage Oil for 32.00 @ Dermstore.com

 

Snowberry Everyday SPF 15 Broad Spectrum

Medium Sun Protection

Did you know that you aren’t protected from the sun even when you’re inside you own home or car? You may have thought so- but you will still get touched by the sun even through windows. The only rays that glass can block are UVB, the UVA rays still penetrate through.

This means that you don’t only need to wear a sunscreen at the beach, or when your outside for a jog. You need to accommodate a daily moisturizer with an SPF in it into your daily skincare regimen. This isn’t only going to keep your skin moisturized, but healthy as well.

I have kids, and having kids mean that I want to live for a VERY VERY long time. I want to see them grow up, go to college, start a family, and meet my grandkids. I can’t do that if I end up developing melanoma (a form of skin cancer).

A myth about skin cancer is that you have to have severe sun burns to get it. That definitely isn’t true! Just getting a deep bronzed tan can also cause skin cancer. This terrifies me! Kids can even develop it. So to do everything to protect both them and myself- I have taken extra precautions.

I added Snowberry Everyday SPF 15 Broad Spectrum Medium Sun Protection to my skincare regimen everyday. I also have started putting a sun protectant on the kids daily. It doesn’t have to be all over your skin- just the parts that are directly in the line of sun-rays!

This is amazing! It’s 100% natural, alcohol free and contains 18 percent non nano clear zinc oxide. This means that it is natural and goes on clearly. It goes on great under makeup. I don’t need very much and can put it on my arms when I wear a short sleeve shirt.

It is a very unique sunscreen though, because it contains plant extracts instead of chemicals. It also contains something called Galangal, which improves the ability of other sunscreens and is a natural anti-bacterial product which can clear up break outs and acne.

This is virtually UNSEEN when put on because it has such a light texture. I can’t detect a hint of it, even without a foundation on. So if you don’t wear makeup- this is an amazing product for you to protect your skin with!

I am happy to be able to put this on my face everyday, knowing that I am taking extra steps to live a longer life. I am also happy knowing that there are absolutely NO harmful ingredients in this at all. This protects against both UVA and UVB rays, so nothing can touch that beautiful skin of yours!

I am happy to say that I am giving both of these products 2 thumbs up. My skin is glowing, clear, and protected just from using these 2 products! My skin feels more hydrated, rejuvenated, and overall more healthy.

And Snowberry has packaged their products in such cute boxes. They are bright, colorful, and alluring. Each product has it’s own distinctive coloring on it’s box, which I find fun and makes me want to keep the boxes!

Review: Premier Skin Care

 

 

Premier Dead Sea Para-Pharmaceutical Exfoliating Facial Gel

This product is a brown transparent like gel with a grainy texture to help exfoliate the skin. The first time I used this- I could instantly tell how it would be such a great exfoliant. It feels like rubbing wet sand on my face.

I rubbed it in small circles all around my face, focusing on the parts that are prone to blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. I don’t get whiteheads or acne very much- and I try to avoid it as much as possible. I DO get blackheads quite often though, on my nose and on my chin mostly. SO I scrubbed more especially in these areas.

You use it on a wet face, massage it into your skin deeply, and then rinse with warm water. You don’t have to sit and let it dry or anything like that- so it’s as simple as using an everyday cleanser- except it gets WAY down to the deepest dirt that clogs pores.

I have been using this for quite some time now and have noticed a huge difference in my skin texture. Where there were tiny little bumps before- they are completely GONE! My skin is more calm, relaxed, and less oily. This is a huge plus to someone who has naturally oily skin.

I love that I don’t have to use very much at all to be able to spread this over my entire face. Dead skin cells and drt are what clogs pores causing acne, blackheads, and whiteheads. This amazing exfoliating gel kicks all of it in the bud AT the source, so there is no worrying about possible breakouts.

I can tell that my overall skin tone and texture is not only balanced, but it relieves any irritation and impurities in and on the skin! I love this! The quality is top-notch.

This can be used with any type of skin- this even includes sensitive skin. It’s = enriched with essential oils and Dead Sea minerals, so while it’s cleansing- it also had added benefits!

I use this 3 times a week, but I have oily skin that doesn’t dry out easily. If you have dry skin, combination skin, or sensitive skin- you may want to use it possibly 2 times a week. It’s all up to you and how quickly you’d like to see the dirt and grime disappear from your pores!

Mud, Seaweed, and Honey Mask

This mask is formulated with Dead Sea Minerals, Mud, Seaweed, and Honey. These are all the ingredients that are needed to revitalize your skin and wake it up! If your skin is leaning on the not so firm side- this is amazing at boosting elasticity. Wrinkles and Fine lines become less superficial, less deep, and less SEEN as time passes. Not only does this help with already formed wrinkles and lines but it protects NEW ones from forming.

They also have added sulfur, trace elements, and antibiotic enzymes which are all beneficial to helping treat oily skin. I loved this product from the instant I opened it. Even the jar is absolutely stunning!

As I opened the gold screw on top, there is a little cover over the mask (with a small place so it’s easy to remove) so that you can easily take this with you on a trip for the holidays!

As I begin to put this slightly green mask on my face, I instantly fall in love♥ Although it has sulfur (which is beneficial to the skin) I can’t smell anything except the seaweed (which smells awesome).

I love the cooling effect. I leave this on until it dries (7-10 minutes) and then wash it off with warm water. For the time I’ve been using this, my skin has become smoother, less agitated, less oily, and absolutely GLOWING.

I love this and think this would make an AMAZING stocking stuffer for anyone who either has oily skin or someone with aging skin looking for something amazing to restore the vitality, elasticity, and youthfulness to skin!

Luxury Skin Toner for Normal/Oily Skin

A gentle antiseptic toner to delicately remove last traces of makeup while soothing and comforting the skin. Skin feels rejuvenated, relaxed and refreshed.

I love the lively pink coloring of this toner, and the fact that it has a pump top bottle. The pump action bottle lets me get just a small amount (which is all that’s needed) in my hand. This ensures that the product lasts longer, that none of it is wasted unnecessarily when used.

This toner is absolutely amazing. It washes all traces of my makeup off, without drying my skin out like harsh alcohol induced toners do with daily use. My skin tone has drastically improved with all three of these products from Premier.

It feels refreshing and moisturizes as it tones. My face is smooth, soft, and not a tad bit oily anymore. The chamomile in this toner soothes and calms my skin while the witch hazel is a natural antiseptic and face cleaner! I love it! Its formula balances the pH level of the skin and tones it.

Ingredients

Deionized Water, Witch-hazel (Hamamelis Virginiana) Extract, Chamomile Extract, Lactic Acid, Sodium Borate, FD&C Blue No. 1, Fragrance.

Review: Gola Trainer Quota Sneakers

Gola trainer, the Gola Quota is a fashion inspired trainer. Quota features a washed canvas upper to give an authentic worn look.

This has a classic look and feel, which is why it looks so great with anything casual that I wear. Whether it be wide leg jeans, skinny pants, or capris. I love the authentic worn look.

It has a rubber sole, which make these great for walking in without getting too much feedback from the concrete. They have just enough rubber to get cushion, yet don’t make you feel like you’re 2 inches taller than normal.

They are fun and fashionable. I love everything about these shoes. They come with the size written in Europe sizes, so at first I thought “Oh no- wrong shoe size” but when I put them on- they fit just the way I wanted them too!

I also like to wear these shoes with no socks with capris. They look awesome with no socks on! The inside of the shoe doesn’t start smelling weird either when work without socks! HUGE plus for me.

These shoes just came on the market- so they’ve only been available for a few weeks. They feel like walking on air, amazingly comfortable, and stylish as well. What else could you ask for from a sneaker?

Half sizes aren’t available on any of their shoes, since they are a British company, and you need to select a size larger than you normally wear so that they fit, because they tend to run on the small side. I love these shoes!

The construction of this shoe is top notch. I love the way they both look AND feel. They fit and felt broke in from the first minute I put them on. There is no walking around in uncomfortable shoes waiting for them to shape and mold correctly to your feet. They didn’t cause blisters or rub the back of my feet raw- thank god!

I’ve been on the lookout for a sneaker like this for awhile it isn’t an “ATHLETIC” shoe per say. It’s a low profile, low top, with a classic look. Casual, classy, and will go well with anything. Whether I’m not feeling well and sporting sweats, rockin out with Jeans, skinny jeans, or even Black or White Dress Pants!

BUY IT: You can buy these Gola Quota shoes for only $55 right now! Plus they offer free shipping anywhere in the United States!
