Trophy Skin - Argan Stem Cell Serum + GIVEAWAY

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you reading are having a fantastic day so far. Today, I want to talk to you about a company I recently had the pleasure of working with, called Trophy Skin. They have an amazing new product they wanted me to try, which I will be reviewing called, Argan Stem Cell Serum! 

Who Is Trophy Skin?

From Their Site...

"Trophy Skin was founded in 2009 with the idea that costly in-office skincare treatments such as light therapy and microdermabrasion should be available to a larger demographic of people. Through medical spa and dermatologist inspiration, Trophy Skin has created a range of devices that are safe, effective, and easy to use for the average consumer. Our customers use Trophy Skin products in the comfort of their own home, on their own schedule, and at a fraction of the cost of expensive, in-office treatments.

Since 2009, we have introduced an array of home skincare products such as acne treatment, microdermabrasion, anti-aging and exfoliation. Each device is highly effective for its intended usage, and the customer reviews across the web are a great testament to this. Keep checking our website often for the latest and greatest in at-home beauty devices."

I really like the fact that you can get all sort's of products from their site that you would find usually in a spa or at the dermatologist. I especially am interested in their microdermabrasion set. They have a lot of amazing items that as a studying Esthetician fascinates me, and as a beauty blogger makes me want to try them all! haha. Seriously though, they are totally affordable especially if your one of those people who spend a lot of time at the dermatologist.

The Product/My Thoughts

The anti-aging treatment nourishes, protects, soothes and moisturizes the skin. It is safe and effective. Use morning and night.

Reverse the Aging Process

Argan Stem Cell Serum, with advanced Stem Cell Therapy using plant stem cells derived from Argan Oil, is currently the most popular cell activation function in the beauty market. This treatment targets a deeper skin layer and stimulates the skin's self-repairing natural processes. It moisturizes deeply, thanks to the presence of hyaluronic acid, and restores the skin's firmness.

• Boosts collagen and elastin production
• Repairs Damaged & Problematic Skin
• Increases skin density and firmness

When, I first started using this product I wasn't sure at what to expect. However, I was pleasantly surprised. I love the feel of it when I put it on my skin. It felt very refreshing, and different from other serum's that I have used in the past. As a beauty blogger I have used plenty of serums, there is something I really like about this one though compared to others. I love how it absorbs very quickly into the skin, and it is not sticky. I find a lot of serum's to be sticky and takes forever to rub in. This product however, is nothing like that. It also doesn't have a weird smell to it like some serum's do, I can barely smell anything at all. What I can smell is almost that of a minty smell.

Since I have been using it, I can tell a huge difference in my skin. My skin has a really nice young glow to it, and I have also noticed less dark circles. I also can tell my skin is more hydrated as well as a little bit softer. This is a big plus for me, because my skin was so flaky it was starting to really become a problem. The moisturizer alone I was using just didn't fully take care of the problem, however with the serum it gave it that extra boost it needed.

I would definitely recommend this serum. I can't wait to see how my skin will adhere to the serum in the future. However, so far it has been an amazing experience. If you wish to purchase this serum you can do so by going here: Buy Argan Stem Cell Serum. It is currently $39, however I have 2 things just for MY READERS!

Nourish Organic - Organic Almond Vanilla Body Lotion

Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific Friday. As, it is starting to turn into fall and cooling down, it seems I need to moisturize my skin more than ever! I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to try out, and talk to to you about Nourish Organic. Specifically, Organic Almond Vanilla Body Lotion! I have used their Cucumber and Watercress Facial Cleanser in the past, so I wanted to see what else they had to offer, since I enjoyed it.

Who is Nourish Organic?

PIONEERING BEGINNINGS

"When we founded Nourish more than a decade ago, the words "organic" and "beauty" were never found together. We were concerned by numerous studies and research that shed light on the hazardous chemicals in existing beauty products, and by the lack of regulations in the personal care industry. Believing that what you put on your body is every bit as important as what you put in it, we became "organic beauty pioneers," determined to create the very first line of chemical-free, environmentally friendly skincare products."

"We were the first beauty company to ever work with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to create a collection of products so pure they could be certified organic under the same strict standards the government uses to certify food. And in 2003, we launched Nourish—the world's first USDA-certified organic skincare collection."

"Then, in 2012, we re-introduced the Nourish brand with an even more exciting line up of fabulous USDA certified organic products that you are sure to enjoy."

GOOD FOR YOU. GOOD FOR THE EARTH.

"Today, from our headquarters in the rolling hills of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, we create and produce healthy, concern-free, eco-friendly skin care products that really work (and that are as pure and clean as the organic fruits and vegetables you find at your local market)." 

"In addition to being completely natural and organic, our products are also cruelty-free, gluten-free, and mostly vegan. We display all of the following badges with pride on all of our packaging, so you can be sure that no product you buy is kinder to your skin, and to the earth and the animals with which we share it." Note: This is straight from their site if you wish to get the official reading you can go to Nourish Organic Story.

One thing, I really like about this company is that they give part of their proceeds to a lot of different causes. These causes include but are not limited to: The Women's Center, Association for the Blind, City Rescue Mission, Meals on Wheels, and the Salvation Army. So, not only will you get a product that is great for your skin, but a product that is helping other's as well.

The Product/My Thoughts

Organic Almond Vanilla Body Lotion - "Smooth on this soothing, naturally scented lotion made with organic aloe, rice protein, acai, essential oils and Vitamin E. Perfect for even the most sensitive skin."

This is not at all what I expected! I guess when I think of almond and vanilla, I think of something very nutty as well as sweet since it has vanilla in it. To me however, it smelled almost like fruity pebbles! I know that sounds funny, but it did smell pretty wonderful. 

It was also lighter than I had expected. I thought it would be a little thicker, but I like that it wasn't as thick. It was easy to put on and took hardly any time at all to absorb into my skin.

I also appreciated the fact, that it didn't clog my pores. It also wasn't greasy like some lotion's can be, don't you hate that? However, no problem here. With it having Aloe and Shea in it, I think this will be a great lotion not only for the winter, but all year round. 

Price: $11.99

Overall Product Score: 4.0*

I also received a sample size of the Coconut & Argan Body Lotion. I was very surprised with smell of it too. To me it smelled like the crisp smell of the ocean, but without the salt smell in it if that makes any sense? I think this is going to make a great gift, and I have the perfect person in mind. 

I really enjoyed working with Nourish Organic. I think they offer a lot not only in their products, but giving back as well. What do you think of Nourish Organic? I would love to hear your questions/comments below! Until next time, Remember to STAY BEAUTIFUL by STAYING YOU!

XOXO.
