Please visit the Breast Cancer Research Foundation for information on how you can help.

My Thoughts:

Having sensitive skin I am careful about what I use when it comes to skin care. After reading up on the mission and ideals of Lady Soma, it was clear this was a company that took the body seriously. In this day and age there are too many products on the market filled with harsh chemicals. You hear of people getting drying, stinging, redness, and peeling from products that are suppose to be helping them heal and feel good about themselves! Lady Soma wants to bring that vision back by providing the highest quality items that are truly good for your skin!



I was thankful to receive three fantastic products from Lady Soma that I've been using every day since they arrived. The item I began my new regime with was the Sea Salt and Bee Pollen Mineral Toner. To be honest, toners are not something that has been a part of my skin care routine in years. They never seemed to do a lot for me, only sting and dry out my face. However, this toner was a blessing! After cleansing the toner was applied over my skin and neck. It smelled amazing, spread easily, and soaked into my pores quickly. There was no residue left over or sticky feeling. This speciality toner restores facial pH levels while also helping to boost radiance, circulation, hydrate, while also helping your skin aid in the natural healing process. I noticed within a week of using this toner that my complexion improved, left over marks from blackhead clearing had healed up, and my face was a lot smoother. I'm truly in love with this product! No more skipping the toner for me!



The second product I used right after the Sea Salt and Bee Pollen Toner was the Triple Collagen Eye Repair Gel. This was a fantastic addition to my skin care regime. Unlike other eye gels, Lady Soma's SomeLuxe brand brings you an all in one experience. Not only does the Tripe Collagen Eye Repair Gel assist in helping to build firmness and elasticity, it also helps those who have puffy eyes, redness, and dark eye circles. The gel can also be used under makeup, moisturizer, or other speciality serum products. I noticed a reduction in my puffiness that I experience under my eyes, as well as improvement in my dark circles. Couldn't have been more pleased!



Lastly, I tried the luscious Lip Rescue: Collagen + Peptide Complex. I've tried my fair share of lip balms and sticks. Lip Rescue is probably the most unique product I have used due to the formula. Not only does it contain three types of collagen peptides to restore your lips, it provides an elastin boost by using plant stem cells and hyaluronic acid. Lip Rescue contains no harsh chemicals and can even help to prevent lip wrinkles, lines, and tears. Not only are you hydrating your lips from the harsh weather, you're also protecting them from damage as well. I've never seen a product quite like this one! After use throughout the day and before bed, I'd wake up the next morning to un-chapped and soft lips!

Dionis: Moisturize with the power of Goat Milk hand cream!

 







I have heard of wonderful products made of goat milk. I know there are avid drinkers of goat milk and lots of cheese is made with goat milk. This is my first experience with a goat milk hand cream. I like it!


Dionis takes the goat milk to a luxurious level, with more the 35 years experience! The goat milk hand cream is very soothing and moisturizing. Each of their products is dermatologist tested. Their products are gluten free, paraben free, made in the USA, and cruelty free!

Some facts about Goat Milk:
Contains essential vitamins A, C, E, and D plus more
Fortifies skin to prevent moisture loss.
Our PH is the same as goats which makes it easily absorbed in skin. 

 I had the chance to try the Inspire Goat Milk Hand Cream Collection. A set of five 1 ounce hand cream tubes in five different fragrances.  Vanilla Bean, White jasmine & Shea, Sea Treasures, Love and Verbena & Cream. The set is beautifully packaged with the tubes inviting inside. They all smell amazing! The scents are delicate and not too overpowering. My favorite of the 5 scents is the Sea Treasures with Verbena & Cream coming in second. The Sea Treasures smells like flowers growing near a beach. The Verbena & Cream is a bold uplifting lemon fragrance. 

How does it feel? The hand cream goes on very smooth. It absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling. The softness lasts a long time! It only takes a small amount as a little goes a long way. 

 The Dionis Goat Milk products are ideal for gift giving. Pamper those special with the luxurious feel of goat milk products. Dionis offers Collections, Hand & Body, Bath & Shower, Lips and Gift sets to choose from. Place your orders online

7th Heaven Dead Sea Peel-Off Mask Review.


The Dead Sea Peel-Off Mask from 7th Heaven harnesses the therapeutic properties of Dead Sea salts and seaweed.  Wear it while relaxing, and then peel off to reveal naturally glowing, fresher, cleaner skin. The mask features crushed sea salt crystals to deep cleanse and purify, seaweed to fight free radicals, and chamomile to soothe. Only $2.50 for each single serve mask.  

My Thoughts: 

I was thrilled to try these masks from 7th Heaven. I have enjoyed the products I've used by them in the past, so I knew this was going to be a great new addition. These masks are lovely! 

Before applying, I began by cleansing my face before use. I opened the packs and instantly smelled the potent aroma. It was relaxing and energizing. The product was nice and thick. There's plenty of it in the pouch. It is easy to spread all over the face. The Dead Sea masks holds up well and do not fall off during application. You can feel the mask begin to dry as you relax. 


At first I got a cold sensation on my face after putting it on, but it didn't last long. At about the 20 minute mark I could feel the mask beginning to peel naturally. It was extremely easy to remove and came off almost completely together. The smell of the mask also stayed on my face and hands for a few hours. That evening I got into the shower before bed and cleansed my face. Afterwords, I applied my moisturizer and realized that some of my blackheads appeared to be closer to the surface. I had no issues removing them. I definitely think the mask had something to do with that! 


A tip for use: As you apply the mask, try not to get any in your hair. It will end up drying and flaking off. The first time I applied this it happened to me so I had to take some water and rinse. Despite that, this mask made me skin feel so smooth and radiant. Something I love about the 7th Heaven products too is that they are natural and good for your skin. This Dead Sea variety of their peel off masks is made with sea salt, seaweed, and soothing chamomile. A great combination for glowing skin! I highly recommend it.

Our Thoughts
The stress of the last 10 years has slowly taken its toll on my skin, and I think I now look older than my years.  Or, at least, I look less than my age until I smile . . . then all the wrinkles appear. Not that I avoid smiling, haha . . .  Anyway, I love both making my own and trying out other natural skin care products but have not yet defeated those darn wrinkles. Made from Earth sent my their plant stem cell therapy to try.



Upon opening the jar, the fresh aroma wafted up and the scents I could most easily detect were the delicious scents of (organic) unrefined cocoa butter and the pink grapefruit (a hint of chocolate + citrus - yum!). The cream itself is very thick, yet light and fluffy when applied.  It goes on almost like it just melts into your skin, and does a very good job of moisturizing.  I have tried other products containing plant stem cells, and those so far are my favorites for skin repair.

So far, after using plant stem cell therapy I've noticed my skin looks firmer for about twice the length of time than any other product I've tried has done. Not enough to last all day by any means, or at least not yet.  At first I did use it on my whole face, but ended up having to go back to my own special blend for my T-zone, where I'm most prone to breakouts as I was finding this to not prevent new breakouts. And since my wrinkles are not in the T-zone, that leaves me free to use plant stem cell therapy directly on my facial wrinkles and any other dry, aging areas, like the backs of my hands. I am very interested to see what results plant stem cell therapy produces over the next few months.  It comes in a 2 oz jar, and you need so little that it will last a good long time.

I want to point out Made from Earth's How To Guide, which is full of great information on their ingredients, suggested regimens, tips & advice, and rosacea. I'd also love to try some of their Face Serums and their lip balms look divine, too!

Skindianvia make-up primer and finishing spray




Award-winning cosmetics brand SKINDINAVIA celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The original authority on makeup finishing sprays, SKINDINAVIA is the professional choice for that all-day just-applied look. Applied as a lightweight, breathable mist, SKINDINAVIA makeup finishing sprays are the only product clinically-proven to set liquid and powder makeup and hold cosmetics vibrantly in place for up to 16 hours.

SKINDINAVIA recently expanded its lineup with the first and only lightweight, silicone-free primer spray that delivers a smooth canvas for impeccable, long-wear makeup application that offers long-term skin benefits. The lightweight, good-for-you oil-control primer spray delivers a balanced canvas for all-day makeup wear that slows oil production, prevents redness, uneven skin tone and large pores.



HOW IT ALL STARTED

Skindinavia was created in one of the more unlikely places. It was there, at a Miami nightclub, that eventual SKINDINAVIA founder Allen Goldman found inspiration – in the face of glitter, lipstick and oppressive heat.

Cosmetics industry veteran, Goldman found himself surrounded by melted makeup. Beautiful women mingled with shiny foundation and streaked bronzer, fanning their faces to no avail. Drawing upon his cosmetic industry experience, he theorized that if he was able to keep makeup from becoming overheated, he could solve the problem of makeup meltdown that had yet to have a solution. That day SKINDINAVIA was born.

Goldman earned access to top national chemists and an interesting ingredient piqued his interest. He observed a new temperature-control technology could provide a time-released cooling property on the surface of the skinwhen needed. He then came up with the simple idea of using this to keep the makeup surface cool to prevent makeup meltdown and excess shine.

The product launched to the acclaim of high-style film and television studio artists in New York and Los Angeles as it greatly reduced the need for touch-ups on set during long days under hot studio lighting. Tested underextreme conditions for makeup such as NYC subways, Vegas showgirls performing in 110 degree heat and Lady Gaga’s international tours, SKINDINAVIA has become the number one choice of global makeup artists community and by women everywhere who want to be sure their makeup always looks freshly applied.

“I gave it a good test run by sleeping in my makeup after the GLAMOUR Women of the Year Awards and

I’m happy to say that I woke up looking just as fresh as I went to bed the night before.”

- Andrea Pomerantz Lustig


ABOUT SKINDINAVIA

SKINDINAVIA, founded in 2005 by cosmetics industry veteran Allen Goldman, creates products that set and enhance the work of makeup artists during long days under hot studio lighting. Our revolutionary Makeup Finishing Spray was launched in 2007, after two years of development, to the acclaim of high-style film and television studio artists in New York and Los Angeles as it greatly reduced the need for touch-ups on set. It remains the only makeup setting product clinically tested to hold for 16 hours.

SKINDINAVIA was the first brand to use patented Temperature Control Technology to keep makeup from melting and becoming too shiny and is clinically-proven to keep those colors vibrant for up to 16 hours. Today, SKINDINAVIA is the number one choice of global makeup artists community and by women everywhere who want to be sure their makeup always looks freshly applied.

My Thoughts

I have to say, spraying something on your face before applying make-up and after takes some getting used to. These have a fresh and clean scent to them and when applied to my face, it didn't leave it feeling oily or wet. It is different though.

After putting on the base spray, my make-up applied without a problem and when I finished putting on make-up I used the finishing spray and then I was done. I worried there might be water marks from spraying my face, but that didn't happen.

In the summer, I use a light amount of make-up due to sweating and not wanting to clog my pores up during the day. I do feel like I got an extended wear to my make-up, especially my eye shadow which usually half way through the day I can't even tell I ad any on.

I would recommend this product to my friends who wear make-up and want to make sure it doesn't sweat off during the day, or even before going on one night dancing with friends.

Our Thoughts
I use sea buckthorn berry oil on a regular basis, so it was a no-brainer to review SeabuckWonders berry and seed oils! 
Sea Buckthorn Berry Oil is one of the ingredients I put in the facial cream I make for myself.  I have noticed it does help reduce the darker tone that comes with scarring, and helps keep my skin clearer.  Sea buckthorn berry oil is a vibrant orange color, so if applying it neat to the skin you may want to take that into consideration. Because Sea buckthorn berry oil contains all those good omega oils, I've been giving it to my son in addition to the fish oil regimen he's already on.  He's non-verbal and has been on fish oil (DHA/EPA) + evening primrose oil (GLA) for several months now, and while he's still non-verbal with speech apraxia (due to seizures he had as an infant), I can tell both his receptive and expressive communication has exploded since beginning this regimen!  He just expresses it differently, in the way his body allows him to.  The seed oil has different levels of the omega oils than does the berry oil, so I'll be trying that one out with my son, too.  Sometimes it's all about getting the supplement ratios *just right* in conjunction with one another.
Since I'm already familiar with the berry oil, I'm now in process of testing the Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil on myself.  Right now I'm watching it work it's magic on a scar on my leg from an injury sustained this September - this scar will take some time to fade, and it has faded considerably already with the use of the seed oil.   I have noticed that applying the seed oil neat to my face seems to dry it out a bit, which I found unusual.  It has been helping to reduce redness with any skin irritation though. 

Sea buckthorn berry and seed oils have a lot to offer - fatty acids, carotenoids, phospholipids and minerals.  SeabuckWonders even has a neat comparison chart between the seed & berry oils on their FAQ's page!  SeabuckWonders recommends taking both the oils for protection from the seasonal flu - packed with Vitamin C & E, SOD, and flavonoids known for their antibacterial and immune system response boosting properties.  We haven't had the flu in this house for well over a decade, and it's nice to know that something I already use is helping us remain flu-free!
SeaBuckWonders not only offers the oil supplements, but also has a skin care line! Their website packed with information, and their Facebook page is a fun browse, too!
