Jaowying Beauty - Blink Blink Body Mask Serum



Hello Everyone! I know it's been awhile since I last wrote a post, for those who keep up with me on our Facebook know I decided to focus more of my attention to getting my degree in college. That being said, I will still be posting and bringing wonderful product reviews to you. They may however, just not be as frequent.

That being said, today I am bringing you a really interesting and intriguing product I found by the company Jaowying Beauty. Their "Blink Blink" Body Mask Serum is a one-of-a-kind product, and something I never really experienced until now. They make all sorts of weird yet practical products from skincare to makeup. Jaowying Beauty which in English means "Princess Beauty" company originates from Thailand. 

What is Blink Blink Body Mask Serum?

In short it is a gel mask that you can put all over your body. It helps to restore uneven skin tone. The ingredients (such as Arbutin, Niacinamide, Natural Beta hydroxy acide bioferment (also known as white willow bark)) all work together within just a few minutes after you put it on to help decrease skin dullness. It also can help dark spot's on your body as well.


I love knowing it's not tested on animals!

How do I use Blink Blink Body Mask Serum? 

It is really important to know how to use the serum before putting it on. Even though most bottles have English translated on the bottle, sometimes it can be hard to understand. 

First you want to make sure you test an area of your skin to make sure your skin can handle it. It is NOT for those with sensitive skin. To test it - put it on the inside part of your arm and see how long before or IF your skin is irritated from the solution (anywhere from 3 minutes to 15 minutes). After you determine how long you can use the serum, then you can try it on other areas of your body for that same length of time. For example if you started having irritated skin around five minutes, use common sense by not using it on another part of your body more than 5 minutes. It's your judgement, and what you feel okay with.  

For me personally, I had it on 15 minutes and it didn't break me out or bother me.  


My Thoughts 

For me personally, I overall really enjoyed the serum. I didn't notice much of a difference when it came to scars or things of that nature. However, it did wonders when it came to brightening my skin. It only took one use after it helped to brighten my skin. It also worked really well on my stretch marks. It only took a couple of times before I noticed results on my stretch marks (those of which I can't take a picture of because of where it is at, but take my word for it!). This stuff has a powerful punch, not to mention it smells great also. It has a nice light grape soapy smell in my opinion, and is clear when you put it on. 

If you wish to purchase this product or even learn more, it is currently on Amazon for $15. You can learn more about it by going here: BUY BLINK BLINK BODY SERUM

Thanks for reading! Feel free to leave your thoughts below. What do you think of Jaowying Beauty's Blink Blink Body Mask Serum? Do you think this is something you can use? I love hearing your feedback, so feel free to leave any questions you may have as well.

Until Next Time!

Beneleaf - Collagen Eye Mask + VIDEO


I hope all of you are having a wonderful day. Today, I would like to talk with you about a really great eye mask I recently discovered. The Beneleaf Collagen Eye Mask is a simple mask with a powerful punch. Helping not only diminish dark circles, but helping to plump, firm, and hydrate your under eye.


Inside the package I received their were 5 sets of masks. You can also purchase an eight count (I will leave the links at the end of this post). Each package looks to be vacuum sealed and very hygienic which I can appreciate. They look clear and see-through and feel like jello.

(click to enlarge)

You use one set and put each one under each eye for 10-15 minutes. For me the longer the better! They feel absolutely amazing on; like putting aloe on your skin after a hot summer day. 

The only thing I found that could be improved was the way they stick on, as they kept sliding around. I would recommend laying down or have your head tilted back. 

I wasn't expecting much after just one use, but you can really see the results! My eyes were not only brighter but my skin felt tighter. When I first did the video I am including at the bottom of this post it was my first one. However, after using two of these I begin noticing my fine lines under my eyes were not as prominent. These little babies really pack a punch, and I would highly recommend giving them a try.

 

Not to mention they make an awesome gift! They come in a nice package with a bow on top, and even come with a thank you note from the company. I thought that was a really nice touch, above is the front of the card. In it they give info about the company as well as in stating that they strive for 100% satisfaction. So, if your not satisfied they will do everything they can to fix it. For me that really says a lot.


 
 Checkout my video to learn more!


If you wish to purchase these you can buy a 5-pack which currently is on sale for $14.99 by clicking here. They also offer an 8-pack for $21.99 by clicking here

eHsense Naturals - Premium Sweet Almond Oil + GIVEAWAY





I hope all of you are having a great day so far. Today, I want to share with you a wonderful new product from eHsense Naturals. The Premium Sweet Almond Oil is a wonderful product that you can use for many things, from massages to moisturizing the skin. Almond Oil allows you to get creative, and think outside the box.

What kinds of things can Almond Oil be used for?



The most popular use Almond Oil has is using it for the skin. You can use it to:

- Moisturize the Skin: It locks moisture inside the skin. So, apply it right after a shower for maximum benefits.

- Treats dry and dull skin: Sweet Almond Oil is the best oil for skin massages. It slowly heals dry skin condition. 

- Treats Chapped Lipsuse almond oil instead of the chap stick. You'll love the results.

Get smooth, silky and glowing skin – Almond oil application helps one achieve really smooth skin. The skin becomes more elastic and uniform in texture. 

Helps in psoriasis, eczema and other forms of dermatitis – Almond oil may not be able to treat these conditions, but it does help the skin heal faster and better.

- Removes makeup like a boss – Take a few drops of almond oil on a cotton ball and just wipe across your face. All the makeup adheres to the cotton ball. The skin feels really fresh. So, no more washing incessantly to remove makeup.


You can also use it for hair, scars, stretch marks, and even cleanse your bowels. (Ideas for Almond Oil Credit goes to oilhealthbenefits.com)




Inside each bottle it gives you ideas of other items you can add to it. For example adding peppermint to the almond oil is great for oily acne prone skin, good for lip balms, adds energy to your day, good for headaches, joint pain, and even repelling mosquitos!



The Product/My Thoughts


Each bottle you receive it comes with a pump, so that way you can squeeze or pump out the oil. I really enjoy this oil in particular compared to past Almond Oil's I have used. It is not only a sweet almond oil, but it is unscented as well, making it easy to blend with other oils. 

I recently tried it for a massage, and it works wonderfully. I have really dry skin, so my back is extremely itchy. Since I've been using it though, my back is not nearly as itchy and is moisturized. 

You also get a really good size (16 FL OZ) and, this bottle lasts a really long time. It has been part of my daily skincare routine for the last couple of weeks now, and I am really impressed with how well it has moisturized, looked, and made my skin feel.

If you wish to purchase this Premium Sweet Almond Oil from eHsense Naturals, you can do so by going here: BUY Almond Oil. It is currently on sale on Amazon for $16.99, and is prime eligible.

eHsense has been nice enough to also give one of my readers a chance to try one as well. All you have to do is enter below to win! 

US Only. 2 Sets of Entries Per IP address. There will be 1 winners who will receive one free bottle of Premium Sweet Almond Oil. Givaway Ends 4/17/15 at 12:00:00 AM EST. Rules Subject To Change. 



I want to know! What do you think about eHsense Naturals - Premium Sweet Almond Oil? Have you tried Almond Oil before? Feel free to leave any questions/comments below.

Bellaboo - Clear Skin Smoothie Mask


Hello Everyone! Today, I want to talk to you about a company I have worked with before called Bellaboo. Last time I wrote of a chocolate face mask, which you can go here to read more about: Bellaboo Sweet Sin Chocolate Face Mask Review. However, today we will be talking about Bellaboo's Clear Skin Smoothie Face Mask.

Bellaboo products are geared especially for Teens & Tweens, and made in Australia. However, anyone can use it really. From serums to moisturizers they make everything your young tween or teen will need to fight that nasty fight of puberty. To check out all of their products you can go here to their official page: 

My Thoughts


There are so many great things about the Clear Skin Smoothie. I appreciate the fact that they are free of parabens, artificial colors, fragrances, sulphates, petrochemicals, mineral oils, harmful chemicals, and animal derived ingredients. I always look for the little bunny on the back that says "against animal testing" below it, which I think is great they have. Not to mention the product was created for women by women. 



The formula is meant for oily/acne prone skin. However, I have combination skin and it didn't dry my skin out. As always I would recommend you doing an allergy test before applying, and if you have sensitive skin I would not recommend the product. Even though it did a great job at cleansing my skin, I had a slight allergic reaction to it. My skin turned red for a few minutes after washing it off. So while I can't personally recommend the product for myself and despite my issues with it, I still think it's a mask with potentially great benefits for those that can use it.


This mask currently sells on Amazon for $9.95 and is Prime Eligible. If you wish to check out more informations about it or purchase the product, you can do so by going here: 

So, I want to know - What do you think about Bellaboo? Have you ever used any of their masks before? I'd love to hear your questions/comments so, feel free to leave them below!

Until next time, 
Stay Beautiful By Staying YOU!

XOXO,

Niapads Acne Relief


Hello Everyone! I hope all of you are having a terrific day so far. Today, I want to talk to you about some wonderful new cleansing pads I came across. The Niapads by Saiom Technologies are great for getting rid of any stubborn pimples or oil residues. It is very unique and unlike any product I have seen for acne in quite awhile. Let's see exactly how it works...

Saiom Technologies Inc.

Saiom Technologies is the inventor of Niapads. Here is what the website says about the company:

I love that they offer earth-friendly products, and are dedicated to improving the quality of life for their consumers. I will be very interested to see how far Saiom Technologies Inc. will go, and what they will come out with next. 


The Product/My Thoughts


Each of these packets come with 30 pads. It says to take one pad and moisten it with water, then wet skin application area with water. Scrub application area gently with the moistened pad. Wait 20 to 30 seconds and rinse thoroughly with water.


According to the site...

"Niapads- Face cleansing pad with Niacinamide USP are designed to safely reduce Acne flare-ups by utilizing the well documented anti-inflammatory properties of Niacinamide USP. They also help diminish skin hyperpigmentation (acne scars).

Niapads is one-step process for opening clogged pores, exfoliation and getting rid of Acne causing bacteria. Skin friendly emollients help prevent drying of skin. It also contains Lavender oil which is well known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties; and yes it also provides a mild lavender scent."

To read more in depth about Niapads and the process you can go to their official site located here: 



When I first received the Niapads, I was like wow, this is a small sample. Little did I realize inside it contains 30 pads. Now that's more like it (guess I should've read that on the back!). Immediately, I noticed the refreshing yet light Lavender smell of the pads. I had a couple of areas that needed clearing up, so I decided to try it on my whole face. Now, if you are using it for just a pimple or a couple of pimples than it's plenty big. However, just me personally I would of preferred a little bigger pad. 

Here is what they look like below:


I then proceeded to put it on my face, and left it on for about 30 seconds. I felt a slight tingling sensation, but nothing that bothered me. It was a good feeling, like it was cleaning my pores out. The next day, I significantly noticed my skin looked a bit clearer, in fact a lot clearer! By the second day the patches of acne were pretty much gone. If I had just let it do it's thing (and used my normal facial cleanser every night), it would of probably took close to a week. I was really impressed with these little pads, and how much power they have behind them. I love that they are made is the US. I also think they are 10X better than any of those facial cleansing pads they have in Walgreen's. Not to mention they are great if you travel, since the pouch is resealable. Overall, I would have to say besides being a little small they are a win win in my book. 

To Buy Niapads they currently run for $20 with free shipping on Amazon (includes 30 per pouch). You can purchase these by going here:

I have an exciting new product as well as a new giveaway to share with you. Oridel Liquid Gem Regenerating Face Oil with Argan Oil and Sea Buckthorn is an amazing product that I am surprised, I hadn't discovered sooner. It has amazing benefits, and a dazzling surprise ending for each one that uses it.

Who & What Makes Oridel Unique?

From their site...

What makes Oridel products unique?


"A: One of our secrets is the extract of Sea Buckthorn. Extensive research has shown that it contains many unique, vital to the skin bio-active ingredients; some of them are extremely rare in the plant world. More importantly, it is a combination of these nutrients that does the magic to the skin helping to reduce wrinkles, nourish the skin and protect it from pollution...Rich in beta-carotenes, high in unique unsaturated fatty acids including rare palmitoleic and linoleic acids, Sea Buckthorn is a unique combination of natural ingredients that regenerates, smoothes and restores..."
I have actually never heard of Sea Buckthorn, but everything I have read and researched it seems to be a pretty amazing plant! Here it is seen below.

Meet The Founder...

Like the "little black dress" is the staple of any woman's wardrobe, her skin care products are the essentials needed to ensure a youthful and vivacious appearance. This is the philosophy behind the Oridel line of cosmetic skin care products. Skin care expert Marina is the creator of the line and the founder of the company. By combining new technologies with old-world fundamentals, Marina's anti-aging product line delivers cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, toning, tightening and protective properties that will let you enjoy a youthful appearance and healthy looking skin.
"Every step in a skin care regimen must make sense," says Marina. "You may need the anti-inflammatory properties, the healing, the protection, or the restoration, or some combination. My line consists of essential products at an affordable price. It‘s not hundreds of products. That just confuses the consumer. Women, men, and teenagers can all benefit by choosing the product that works for them and being consistent with it...."

The Product


From their site...

"Oridel's LIQUID GEM Regenerating Face Oil uses the healing processes of natural botanicals to bring your skin a warm dewy glow that seems to shine from within. Just one pump from this bottle can significantly soothe your skin, and especially skin damaged by the application of drying retinol treatments or other medications. Yet it is light and refreshing, does not feel oily or heavy, and has been specifically formulated to have a pleasing aroma that won't overpower the senses.


LIQUID GEM is a carefully balanced botanical blend of organic and chemicals-free oils and is one of our finest facial moisturizers. Liquid Gem™ uses superior quality oils known for their anti-inflammatory, healing, skin-soothing, softening, and anti-aging properties. This is a potent deep penetrating blend for reducing the signs of dry and aging skin. Carefully designed combination of active healing ingredients is superb for daily use and especially great for post-peel and post-laser applications. Beneficial for such conditions as acne rosacea, atopic dermatitis and eczema. When your skin needs extra hydration use Liquid Gem facial moisturizer for a concentrated moisture boost. Or mix a drop or two of Liquid Gem™ with your liquid make-up foundation and enjoy that "lit-from-inside" look!..."



After you finish the product you can unscrew the top and there will be a "Sun Gem" also known as Citrine at the bottom of the bottle. I haven't got to mine yet so you may not be able to see it looking at the picture, but it is a nice size and very pretty gemstone which would be great to make into a necklace!

To learn more about this product go to their official site located here: http://www.oridel.com/Liquid-Gem-Face-Oil


Final Thoughts


I was really impressed with Oridel's Liquid Gem Face Oil. I have never used a oil that hasn't been heavy or made my face feel greasy, but this stuff is NOTHING like this! It is light, smells wonderful, and easy to blend into makeup. 


It gave me a really nice glow, as well as moisturized my skin. I have combination skin, so I was a tad worried that it would clog my pores in some spots. However, it didn't clog my pores not once. 


Here is a Before and After, after just one application...




Please Click on the picture to ENLARGE.













As you can see in the after picture my skin is glowing and more radiant. At one point I could of sworn it started freaking out because of it being so hydrated...haha! In all seriousness, I was thoroughly impressed. It's truly unlike any other skincare product I have tried in the past, and let me say I have tried a lot!

One of the best parts is not only getting a beautiful Citrine gem once I'm done using it, but having amazingly supple and beautiful skin.

Poppy Austin - Green Tea & Vitamin C Eye Cream


Hello Readers! I hope all of you are having a wonderful evening so far. Today, I would love to share with you an awesome new eye cream from a new company I recently had the pleasure of working with. Poppy Austin's - Green Tea & Vitamin C Eye Cream is a great pick me up to add to any routine!

Who Is Poppy Austin?

To read in story behind Poppy Austin, you can read their full story by going here: http://www.poppyaustin.com/our-story/


"Poppy Austin is a new kind of cosmetics company. We are dedicated to creating premium hair and skin products that make you look younger, fresher, and alive.

Women, after all, deserve to be pampered. This is something we feel extremely passionate about, and we hope you do too. Being a good mother, wife, sister, daughter, friend or lover is of course important. But you also need to be a little selfish every now and then, investing in your appearance and more importantly, yourself.

The Poppy Austin philosophy is simple. To prevent the signs of aging by using only the finest, most ethically sourced cosmetics, produced in exact accordance with Poppy’s Code*.

Having set the standard for argan oil cosmetics both in the USA and abroad, we look forward to raising the bar further with our new and exclusive range of natural, eco-friendly moisturizers...."


*Read Poppy's full code by going to the link at the top.

I love that their products are not tested on animals and are eco friendly. I also appreciate the fact that while their products originally come from the UK; they are actually produced in the US. I love products that understand the importance of issues such as these.

The Product/My Thoughts




According to their site...

"An elegantly enriched blend of naturally derived and organic (72%) ingredients, working harmoniously to gently de-puff the delicate skin under your eyes, as well as target dark circles, crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles. This product is packed full of natural antioxidants and can be used to smooth, tone and condition your entire face."

When I first saw the bottle, I admit I was a little skeptical. I was like, "How in the WORLD can this little bottle enhance my face?" Don't be fooled though. This little bottle packs a powerful punch! I was really impressed. Just after fifteen minutes of my first use, I noticed my eyes were less puffy and indeed brighter. 

Now, by no means am I saying its a miracle cream but indeed most of the claims of this cream is indeed dead on. I have yet to see if it will get rid of my wrinkles completely, but so far have noticed a huge improvement - and for the price it's a great deal. My eyes and skin is brighter and tighter. I have only used it on my eyes, but am told you can use it on your whole face as well. I think that is pretty awesome, and will be next on my list of things to try.

Below are my before and after pictures after just ONE use....

            Before

        After

I even had my husband look at the pictures, to make sure I wasn't going crazy! Poppy Austin has definitely done a great job creating this eye cream, and I look forward to prolong use of this as well as trying their other products.

To buy their Eye Cream you can currently get it on Amazon for $22.49 by going here: BUY Poppy Austin Eye Cream
