So comfortable!

I am always hesitant when it comes to traditional matte lipsticks. They seem to always feather on me or be too dry and uncomfortable.

Anastasia definitely hit the nail on the head with this formula!

When you first apply these, you can immediately tell how great they feel. They glide on so effortlessly and in one swipe, you achieve true, full pigment.

These have never feathered on my lip lines, which is a big plus in my book and come in such a beautiful variety of shades. Very modern and trendy, but they are wearable and gorgeous.

Right now my favorites are definitely Stevie, Ruby and Staunch, but I can't wait to get my hands on more. If you love traditional lipsticks, give these a try. I am sure you will fall in love with the formula as much as I have ;-)

Heavenly Touch!

This hand cream smells like heaven! I have use the bum bum cream from the 'Sol de Janeiro' line in the past and absolutely love that stuff, but had never tried anything else from the line until recently.

I tend to really have dry, rough hands but I am really bad about wearing a hand cream because of how heavy and slippery they feel. I know they do a great job at moisturizing, but I can never get over the feeling they leave.

I ended up trying this hand cream from their line and it was something totally different!

This is so light weight and absorbs so quickly into the skin, but definitely moisturizes. The AMAZING smell is a plus, for sure! I find myself gravitating towards this cream so much more than anything else in the past.

I am so happy to have found not only something that is comfortable and smells incredible, but something that actually works!

Waterproof... Life Proof!!!

This mascara is no joke! If you love the traditional 'Better than Sex Mascara', then this is gonna be your new best friend! Not only does this formula thicken, lengthen and amplify barely there lashes, but it does not budge. I had taken this mascara to Vegas and talk about lasting all day... this stuck through the sweat of dancing, the heat and the pool. This was my lifesaver. I was a bit skeptical as to wether or not this could compare to the original, but to me this far exceeds. I adore this formula... and the packaging isn't too shabby either ;-)

A 'Golden Glow' all year round ;-)

This oil feels so luxurious on the skin and makes it really easy to achieve a golden goddess glow on the skin without going overboard. This oil's texture is extremely light weight and even with my oily/combo skin, it does not feel uncomfortable or heavy at all. This dries on the skin so quickly and absorbs effortlessly without adding a greasy feel. This product is so unique and convenient. Now I can actually tan my face and still look natural without that orange look. I love this brand so much!!!!

Sun Kissed Skin

This self tanning mousse is amazing and super easy to use! I'm already a bit tan, but this bronzing mousse definitely gives my skin that added boost that makes it looked kissed by the sun all year round. This has an amazing natural olive undertone that looks super flattering and has a pleasant scent. The mousse formula makes it extremely easy to achieve a streak free tan in a small amount of time. I always make sure to prep my skin by exfoliating and moisturizing prior to the tanning process, and then I smooth the mousse evenly over my skin with the tanning mitt. This achieves a flawless bronze tan every single time. This product is definitely a full proof formula. Great for anyone from beginners to experts. If you want that deep dark J Lo glow, you definitely have to try this bronzing mousse.

Best Lash Glue... Ever!!!!

I have tried quite a few different lash glues and some have been ok, but they all seem to be really chunky or have irritated my eyes. I had seen this one and decided to try it because it was a brush on, but I was still super hesitant because I wasn't sure if it would irritate my eyes.

Lucky me, cause I struck gold with this one!

This lash glue has never given my eyes any irritation or caused them to water... and the applicator brush makes it so extremely easy to use.

When applying, just brush on a small amount on the lash band of the lashes you choose to wear and allow the glue to get tacky for about 30-45 seconds. This will ensure that the glue sticks and that the lash sets down to your eye. This dries down ultra clear and doesn't add unnecessary weight to what can already be heavy feeling lashes.

You will be amazed at how long this glue lasts and how well it holds! I am thankful to have found this glue as this has now become a staple in my lash application routine and a holy grail item for sure!

I have been looking into eye creams a bit more as of lately, because due to my age (37), I am starting to develop some fine lines around my eye area. These lines unfortunately tend to become pretty prominent as soon as I apply concealer, so I have really been needing something to help.

I have used a few products from the 'Farmacy' line and have always loved the ingredients they use, so I decided to give the "Dew It All" eye cream a shot.

This has not let me down at all... not one bit!

I have really finicky oily/combo skin and I really don't like to feel the heaviness of products on my skin. This eye cream is so light weight and sinks effortlessly into the skin around my eyes. It is not tacky or heavy and my concealer glides on so easily after using this cream.

I love that you can treat the entire eye zone with this cream and it really helps brighten and de-puff my eyes. It's supposed to assist with fighting off the signs of aging (which is a big plus for me), but it truly helps destress and smooth out my eye area which makes me look less tired in the morning.

Their entire line includes their "Echinacea GreenEnvy" which is packed with natural antioxidants (fight off free radical damage) which will protect my skin from the every day aggressors and believe me, I can use all the help I can get!

Love at first application!

This has now become one of my favorites after just the first use!

The texture and lightweight feel of this moisturizing gel-cream is phenomenal! It's so lightweight that it truly feels like there is nothing on your skin, yet it hydrates the skin without that heavy feel... which is perfect for my oily/combo skin.

It is formulated with a triple hyaluronic acid complex, which if you didn't know holds about a thousand times it's weight in water. So you know your skin is definitely going to be quenched all day long!

It has an amazing cooling effect on the skin that you really have to experience to understand. It is the most comfortable, cooling, lightweight and most unique moisturizers I have tried thus far! The gel-cream contains what they call golden cupuaçu butter beads from the Amazon. These little guys melt into the skin and disappear as they’re absorbed, which release added hydration that you can truly see and feel!

Believe me, once you try it, you will fall in love just like I have!

Magic Powder Is Right!!!!

Powdered cleansers had always been to me one of those products that you really want to try, but you just never get around to doing so. When I was introduced to the May Lindstrom line by way of a colleague, I was instantly intrigued by the Clean Dirt cleanser.

Being a licensed Esthetician, I know the benefits of natural products and saw that this was also a warming cleanser, so you know I had to put it to the test!

I must say that not only does it do an amazing job at cleansing my skin without stripping it, but the experience is fascinating! You can mix this powder with a little bit of water to make a mousse and once you start massaging this onto the skin, you really feel the lite tingling and warming sensation.

It is infused with purifying minerals and warming spices that you can really feel go to work on the skin. This cleanser's light exfoliation really helps refine my pores, smooth out my skin's texture and adds an all-over glow that can not be denied.

This is a truly transformative cleanser and a must try in my book!

A Magical Experience

To say that I love the Pendulum Potion oil cleanser is to say the least. This truly is such a luxurious cleansing oil and an amazing experience!

I had tried very few cleansing oils (if any) before this one, so I was a little hesitant to say the least. I have oily/Combination skin, but I had read in an article a while back that oil dissolves oil, so I decided to try it out.

I had been really intrigued since I had started using the May Lindstrom line and read a bit about the Pendulum Potion Ritual itself.

They state to pump a small amount into your hands and inhale the natural aromas of jasmine, ylang-ylang, raw cacao, and Balsam of Peru. Doing this really puts you at ease, relaxes you and awakens the senses.

You then massage the oil into your skin, focusing on your problem areas and continue to massage the oil with wet hands. You can even add steam to intensify the experience which by the way leaves your skin baby soft.

After rinsing this off, I then follow up with a serum and moisturizer. My skin feels amazing and truly rejuvenated. It is almost like experiencing a spa day, but in the comfort of your own home. This product and ritual is a must try for any 'Natural Skincare' fan!
