Beauty Product Reviews

Perfect for summer!

It smells a bit similar as the SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum cream (although not as good as that). It doesn't have a long staying power however, it’s a great tropical scent that's great for a quick spitz. Perfect for the summer if you don’t want something too overwhelming but still want to smell like you’re vacationing somewhere tropical!

It really helps the healing process!

I heard about this Cicalfate Restorative Skin Cream and immediately gifted it to my mother. She was bitten by a spider on her chest and it left a huge wound. After three weeks, the wound healed a bit but remained a ugly scar/scab. She’s diabetic, and people with diabetes sometimes have high levels of blood glucose, and over time, affect the nerves which then leads to poor blood circulation, making it hard for blood - needed for skin repair - to reach areas of the body affected by sores or wounds. This can be a huge cause for concern as it can cause an infection (my moms biggest fear).

I requested my mother use this twice daily and applied directly to the scab/scar. She’s only been using this a week but her skin is healing faster than it usually does! We were so shocked by how well it’s healing. The scar has almost completely disappeared as the skin has almost fully healed. It may not be a miracle worker, but it definitely assists with the healing process! My mom now swears by this product and I’ve seen the results myself so I will be purchasing more!

Immediate Soft Hair!

I have extremely dry overprocessed hair and looking for a product to add some moisture back into my hair while making it feel soft but not too weighed down. I decided to use the Karite Nutri Intense Nourishing Mask and boy am I happy I did!

I used this product as instructed. I shampooed my hair, towel dried it a bit, then added the mask and let my hair soak it up for 5 minutes. As my hair was soaking in this lovely smelling mask, I brushed it to ensure every strand was covered. After, I washed it and IMMEDIATELY felt a difference in my hair. I thought maybe the softness would fade away once my hair dried but nope! After my hair dried, I was still able to run my fingers through my hair. My ends didn't make an appearance as much as they usually do and my hair had a nice shine to it without looking weighed down or oily. It was so soft which my hair has not felt like that in years.

I’ve only used this product twice and I’m already impressed by the results. I plan to use this twice a week and look forward to how my hair will look a few months from now. So happy I found this product!

The Triple Threat of Cleansers

I’m truly impressed by this cleanser. I’ve tried many cleansers but this one is so unique. Usually after cleansing my skin, I have to use a toner and then a moisturizer. But with this, I now have a cleanser, toner, and makeup remover all in one!

The product drips out from the bottle rather than pour out so you’re less likely to waste a lot of product. I let about 3-4 drips fall from the bottle onto the cotton pad and remove my makeup. Once I’m done removing my makeup, I get another cotton pad to go over my face for a real good cleansing. This removed my waterproof eyeliner and mascara without any issues! This product also left my skin feeling soft and smooth after. Also, usually my skin turns red after cleansing and toning, but the Avène Thermal Spring Water in this Micellar Lotion Cleansing and Make-up Remover helped calm the redness.

**Bonus** This product also has a light lotion scent to it. Similar to your everyday hand moisturizer. It’s very lovely and not overpowering.

Overall, I recommend this product for an every day use!

Travel Friendly!

I loooove this palette! It's compact enough to travel with and you can create many looks!

I've become tired of traveling with my huge Mary Poppins of a makeup bag. So I began looking for a palette that is small enough to travel with while accomplishing a every day look (the "Natural" makeup look) as well as a soft smokey eye. I'm so happy I came across this palette. I have been able to accomplish many looks with this. I can use all 4 colors, or just the sheer sparkle topper (bottom left). The sheer sparkle topper has glitter in it but it's so finely milled, that it's not difficult to pick up the product and apply to the lids. However, I find it a bit easier to apply the sparkle topper using my finger tips and dabbing it onto the lid.

I did not see the shadows crease or fade throughout the day. I did see my eyes appeared bigger and more awake. Whenever I wear this, I have so many people asking me what I'm wearing on my lids! I highly recommend!

The Sandman would be proud!

I sometimes have restless nights. I find it hard to fall asleep (probably due to technology as well as stress) and I immediately regret it in the morning. I find it hard to wake up and feel energized as I have not had much sleep the night before.

Then I found this! This magical dust! This Dream Dust truly changed my life.

I ordered the packets as they are already pre-measured and all I had to do was open a packet and mix it with some tea before bed. After drinking a cup of tea with Dream Dust mixed in, I felt relaxed within the next hour. I felt relaxed enough to head to bed. I then drifted off to sleep and woke up once but quickly drifted back to sleep. Altogether, I had 8 hours of sleep! When I woke up for work, I felt energized and ready for the day. The first time in a long time I had a good nights rest.

I've tried this product a few times and receive the same results. I have also recommend this Dream Dust to multiple people, and they too have claimed to have a good nights rest. I highly recommend this! The Sandman will surely be proud of Moon Juice for creating this wonderful Dream Dust.

Mango Smoothie for hair!

My hair is very dry like a broom. I was looking for a shampoo that wouldn't dry out my hair (like most shampoos do) but instead restore hydration to my hair.

The first thing I noticed was the smell. The amazing smell! It smells like a mango tropical smoothie!

It comes in a nice sized bottle and creates a great lather. I find some shampoos don't create a great lather and therefore I need to use a bit more product. I didn't have that issue with this product.

After shampooing, I usually notice my hair feeling like a dried brillo pad before I apply conditioner. But after using Klorane Shampoo with Mango Butter, I noticed my hair much softer. It felt as though I had already applied conditioner!

After a few uses of this and the Klorane Conditioner with Mango Butter, I noticed my hair become less dry, and more silky. I recommend this product to anyone with extremely dry hair.

Perfect for summer!

I love my hair to smell amazing throughout the day. However, I find that most shampoo and conditioners do not have a long lasting scent. Thus, my quest for a hair perfume began!

I found this SACHAJUAN Protective Hair Perfume and fell in love at first spray! It has a nice mist to the spray and only had to spray 2-3 times to cover my hair. My hair didn't feel damp which is a plus for someone who straightens their hair (which I do). I noticed the smell right away. It smells like a floral perfume with a hint of apple. Although the scent is not too strong, it seemed to last throughout my 8 hour work day.

I have received so many compliments when I use the SACHAJUAN Protective Hair Perfume because of the scent! Between the hint of apple scent, and the UV protection, I will be using this all summer! It's essential in a summer bag!

Renewed Scalp!

This product left my scalp feeling refreshed!

I have a sensitive scalp and have been fearful of using exfoliating scalp products. But I once read that heaving a healthy scalp leads to healthy hair. Since my scalp is sensitive and oily, I decided to try this product out. I used this product 1-2 times a week before I shampooed and conditioned my hair.

The texture is a bit weird and takes some time to get used to. In your hands it feels like you're rubbing sand, however, it does not feel harsh on the scalp. The little beads (Ecuadorian Ivory Palm Seed Powder) dissolve after massaging your scalp 6-10 times in small circles. Be sure to massage this into every inch of your scalp. After, I washed out the remaining amount and immediately felt my scalp able to breathe.

I gave this product 4 out of 5 stars since I found I needed to use more product than was recommended on the packaging. But I highly recommend this product to detoxify and rebalance your scalp.

**Bonus** If you have dandruff, the Kaolin in Crown Scalp Scrub removes the loose dandruff flakes!

Refreshed Scalp!

I'm on the hunt for products to soothe and repair my scalp. My scalp has become very irritated due to hair many products used, as well as hair bleached and dyed. That's when I came across the Klorane SOS Serum with Peony.

First, the smell of this product is lovely! It smells as if you are walking through a field of lovely flowers. However, it's not to over powering.

The spray: It has a nice mist spray to it. It feels as though you are standing near but far from a waterfall and the mist from the waterfall hits your scalp. I wish my setting sprays had a great mist like this!

How I used it: After showering, I let me hair air dry a bit. Once my hair was damp, but not soaking wet, I sectioned off my hair and sprayed the product. Once I felt every inch of my scalp was covered, I gently rubbed the product into my scalp. It may be easier to flip your hair upside down and dip your head down a bit to get the back of your scalp.

Result: I immediately felt results! I noticed my scalp feeling refreshed and cool. My scalp felt like it could breathe for the first time in a long time. Once it dried, it did not leave my scalp looking oily.

I highly recommend this to anyone with an irritated scalp. Healthy hair starts with a healthy scalp!
