Shiny and Moisturizing!

This is described as a lip butter, and buttery is right! It has a shiny finish and feels really moisturizing on, while still having a slippery feel and not too waxy. It's also very transparent, so it won't leave a white cast on the lips at all. The description mentions that it has an iridescent sheen but I can't see any sparkle or iridescence in it, which is fine with me. It does absorb into my lips after a couple hours, so I tend to reapply fairly regularly if I'm using it during the day.

The scent reminds me of roses and vanilla, light and pleasant. A pot is usually not my favorite container for lip products since I don't always want to apply with my finger, but with this formula I like to rub the excess from my finger into my cuticles for a little extra nourishment! I highly recommend this lip butter for when your lips are extra dry and you want to bring back some shine.

Blemish Treatment and Moisturizer in One

I wanted to try this for my larger pores, and to help keep my oily skin matte throughout the day. I love the matte texture and it really feels hydrating and soft, and doesn't pill up or feel too silicone-y like some other mattifying lotions I have tried. I'm not that crazy about the smell, but I love the way it made my skin feel!

I also noticed that my monthly batch of hormonal breakouts didn't make their usual appearance this past month thanks to the blemish fighting active ingredients in this lotion. My pores are still there, of course, but I do notice an improvement in their appearance and in the texture of my skin.

This has a pointed opening which does make it easy to dispense the thin runny lotion, and a little goes a long way. I also love that it's one step for treatment and moisture, and would definitely recommend this to anyone who is oily and acne-prone.

Moisture-boosting treatment that isn't heavy at all!

I'm always looking for new hair masks since my hair can always use a little moisture boost. This is the first one I have tried that you use before shampoo, though, and I was pleasantly surprised!

It dispenses in a very light but stiff foam, which I find makes it very easy to distribute throughout the hair, it doesn't all get stuck in one spot. You can leave it in as long as you want, it feels light in the hair and the nourishing oils soak in and don't drip or transfer while you're masking. After washing my hair, I definitely noticed a little more shine and moisture right away.

I will say that this is one of the lighter masks that I've tried in terms of moisture level, but that makes it great even for fine hair because it won't weigh the hair down, it really is for any hair type. I have also tried it as a regular conditioner and a post-shampoo mask and it works great, but for the most hydration I recommend applying pre-shampoo and leaving it on for plenty of time to help and hydrate.

This unique creamy emulsion can be used anywhere you need moisture, face, eyes, hands, or body! It has a light scent and feels so hydrating. I do have a little trouble recognizing the "sealed" feeling, but I just make sure it is fully rubbed in, it does sink in in a minute or two.

For my oilier skin I sometimes feel that it is slightly too heavy during the day, which is a shame because I love that it actually registers with SPF protection. However, I still love it at night-time, and really like it for the eye area and my hands, and my wife really loves it both day and night!

I know not everyone is going to be purchasing special water in a can, but if you are, this is the one! The spray mechanism is excellent and produces a fine continuous mist, so it's very easy and gentle to mist on without blasting yourself in the face. The smell is very pleasant, and I definitely notice a really nice plumpness and hydration when I use it, especially if I pair it with anything with hyaluronic acid. Definitely something I didn't know I needed until I had it!

I just tried this mask recently because I love the idea of having chemical and physical exfoliants in one product, and it was such a pleasant surprise! I definitely noticed a reduction in oiliness, but it isn't overly drying or stripping. I did notice some tingling and a little stinging start around the 5 minute mark, but nothing too uncomfortable. It doesn't dry down to a hard finish like some masks either, it was comfortable to speak and move my face the entire time it was on. It took a bit of time to rinse off fully, but that's when the physical exfoliant really gets to work.

I exfoliate very regularly, so usually with a new product I'm not expecting it to out-perform my usual go-to's. However later in the night after the first time I used this mask, my wife touched my face and remarked on how soft my skin was!

My Favorite Exfoliant

This is my favorite exfoliating product, I love the instant gratification of the Exfoliating Peel Gel! It pumps out as a clear gel, and you simply apply it to clean dry skin and gently rub it in. I like to apply it to my face section by section and really focus on each spot before moving on to the next area. As you rub the gel into the skin, it gently loosens the skin that is ready to be removed with the gentle AHA acids and you can see the dead skin and debris ball up as you rub. You won't over-exfoliate or damage the skin like you can with some scrubs, and then everything rinses away really easily!

I immediately see my skin looking brighter and it feels so soft and smooth afterwards. I like the charcoal version, too, but it is a little grittier than just the Exfoliating Peel Gel, so this is the one I always come back to. I can't recommend this enough!

Every time I pick up this palette I swoon over Viseart's formulas, the colors are pigmented and smooth, and they blend really beautifully, without skipping or looking patchy. I would definitely recommend any Viseart palette for the formula alone.

With the Libertine Palette specifically, I am really impressed with the color selection. When I first saw the shades I was a little skeptical of the cohesion of palette as a whole, but the more I looked at the colors the more looks and combinations started jumping out at me. You really have so many options in this group of colors, and there is not a single color that can't combine with other shades in the palette to make a complete look. I'm so happy I picked up this palette!

I love this one-step product for gently cleansing and conditioning. The texture is so cool, it comes out in a foam and is really lightweight but then glides into my hair like a conditioner. It leaves my hair feeling clean and soft, and works wonderfully for my wife's curly hair as well as my straighter texture.

I typically use it every other shampoo or days when I'm in a rush, but I have used this product for a week straight with no other shampoo to really put it's cleansing power to the test, and it did not leave my hair looking oily at all. I did miss having the bubbles and lather sensation from a traditional shampoo, though, but I think that's just because that's what I've used for so long. I still alternate with other products, since I still love trying new things too, but I will definitely continue to purchase this. Plus, the scent is amazing!

I use this cream to help whenever my skin is raw, irritated and distressed. It's given me relief after shaving, especially where my underarms get extremely sensitive, as well as when I'm sick and my nose is red and chafed. I've also found it really great for sunburns! While I don't use it every day, I'm always glad I have it around when I need it because it soothes right away and promotes healing quickly. Definitely a staple product for me!
