The Holy Grail: Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant

Disclaimer: The products featured on this post was picked by me to review for LABlush. This is not a sponsored or paid review from iFabbo or Dermalogica. The products I received were shipped by iFabbo, for blog review purposes. 


Dermalogica is one of the best skin care lines out, so when I received Dermalogica's daily microfoliant. I did a happy dance!, I love getting the opportunity to try products from such a beloved brand.


Dermalogica's Daily Microfoliant is a rice based powder exfoliant that activates upon contact with H20 for optimum efficiency and results.  Salicylic acid, Papain and Rice enzymes lift dead skin cells gently and effectively leaving your skin brighter and smoother, instantly.

Review time..

I've been using this for over 2 weeks now, and i have to admit that I love it, at first i was a bit confused as to how to use it and how it works. (as simple as the directions are), I would get powder everywhere. :( , I started putting a little bit of water on my hand and then the powder, making a sorta thick paste.( I say sorta because the thickness depends on how much water you want to use).
 I would start with what the instructions suggest then adjust it to your liking.
After the second time, I had no problem using the powder.
One of my favorite things about this product is that unlike other exfoliants this one is not rough, so its perfect for someone with sensitive skin.  You can barely feel it when you use it but you can totally see the results, after the first use I could feel the difference, my skin felt sooo soft as soon as I rinsed this off. I use it in the morning and at night, one of the biggest difference I've noticed is that my skin doesn't get super oily like before and it just feels soo soo smooth.

I love a product that shows a difference in your skin right away. I strongly recommend adding this product to your beauty routine, trust me you will not regret it.

MUST HAVE: Apothecary Extracts tree tea oil

Tea tree oil is must have!, this is not just for your beauty routine.


I was given the opportunity to try Apothecary Extracts tea tree oil and pretty much used it on everything!.
 added a couple drops to my laundry, sprayed some on the floor when cleaning, used it on my sunburn.

Tea tree oil is extracted from the leaves of the Melaleuca tree found in Australia and its usually bottled in small dark bottles, but Apothecary Extracts has a 4oz bottle which is amazing!, because this Tea tree oil can be used on so many different things, it kills bacteria, fungus and mold and also deodorizes.

 You can purchase Apothecary Extracts Tea tree oil here -->  APOTHECARY
 when you purchase this you will also receive an E-Book with over 50 more uses!.

REVIEW: Valentia Even Glow Vitamin C serum

 
Disclaimer: The product featured on this post was complimentary from BrandBacker. This is not a sponsored or paid review for BrandBacker or Valentia. The products I received were shipped by BrandBacker, for testing purposes.
Our skin is damaged each day due to environmental pollutants, oxidative stress, and chemical laden cosmetic products. The amount of free radicals waging war on the skin quickly depletes our natural protective resources.
Our premier formulation is backed by scientific research into the efficacy of each of the natural ingredients we have carefully selected.
Our proprietary blend of *skin super oils compliment our 20% Vitamin C base, leading to a powerful antioxidant treatment. Each natural ingredient was chosen to support and enhance Vitamin C’s efficacy on the skin, leading to more well-rounded serum to add to your daily skin care ritual.
Our Even Glow Serum will repair, refresh, and renew your skin; restoring evenness to your complexion, giving you an extra boost of confidence each time you look in the mirror.
We know this all sounds too good to be true… but soon you’ll see.  – Valentina Even Glow Serum 



Vitamin C is amazing for your skin, so when I had the chance to review Valentina Vitamin C Serum, I was uber excited.
I’ve been using this serum for about 3 weeks now and I’m loving how great my skin feels and looks.
  Here are some of the key ingredients in this amazing product. 

 ORGANIC ROSEHIP SEED OIL & ORGANIC SEA BUCKTHORN OIL - These oils  are full of antioxidants and help your skin lock in moisture to protect your skin from signs of aging & improve its beauty and youthfulness.

GREEN TEA EXTRACT- 
 green tea is full of antioxidants, and also has anti inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits. 

Valentia Even Glow Vitamin C Serum has a lovely orange citrusy scent,  it smells like freshly squeezed orange juice (yum!). 
This serum is a bit thicker than most serums, when you first apply this serum it is a bit greasy but after a few minutes your skin absorbs this serum. 

After the first night of using this my skin looked significantly brighter and felt super smooth, and after three weeks I can see my skin tone is even and my skin has a natural glow. 

I've also used this serum in a face mask, when you purchase Valentina even glow serum, you get an e-book with amazing beauty recipes.

Hello September


Hello loves,

Can you believe its already September, it's crazy how quick the year has gone by and we are only a few days away from fall!. 
As we get closer to the colder months, not only does our  wardrobe change but so does our makeup and skin care routine. 
Some of the things I change are my foundation to a lighter shade, moisturizer and adding a skin hydrating booster to the mix, since its a bit colder my skin needs some extra moisture.

what are some of the things you change in your makeup and skin care routine for the fall/ winter?.



XOXO,

Z

Review: #Exuviance


Disclaimer: The product featured on this post was complimentary from BrandBacker. This is not a sponsored or paid review for BrandBacker or Exuviance. The products I received were shipped by BrandBacker, for testing purposes. 

I love trying new products, specially something new and different.
This unique skin care kit includes an evening restorative complex cream and a Vitamin C+ anti-aging booster, this booster was something I've never tried before.

                           About the products:

Vitamin C+ Anti-aging Booster

                               Vitamin C+ Anti-aging Booster:
This powder is formulated to restore firmness, smooth lines and it helps diminishes the look of age spots, and protects against future damage.

Evening Restorative Complex

                             Evening Restorative Complex:
This intensive high- performing cream is designed to help repair dry, photo-damaged skin and fight the visinle signs of aging. Contains a bionic blend of gluconolactone and lactobionic acid (PHAs)


All of the ingredients are 100% active, this is very rare in the skincare market.
Most products have fillers such as water and/or colorings.

Review time!!..
 So I started using this every night, after washing my face and drying it, I added the Vitamin C+ booster to the Evening Restorative Complex. I added one small scoop mixed it and applied it to my face, neck and back of my hands.

The cream doesn't feel heavy and sinks into your skin quickly, it does feel a little oily at first but come morning your face doesn't feel like that, I have combination skin so my T-Zone is usually  super oily in the morning but with this cream I don't wake up with my feeling oily.  I felt a bit of change with my skin, my skin feels fresh and renewed and my skin has a glow. I've only been using this for about a week and this claims to show signs after 4 weeks, I will continue to use this and give you ladies another update.
