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!

Review of LIPZU- Created by 12 year old entrepreneur, Daisy.



Budding beauty guru Daisy Creel is proof that you're never too small to think big. She joined her love of animals with an entrepreneurial spirit to develop LIPZU, a line of organic lip balms that gives a portion of its proceeds to the Humane Society. "We got all of our pets - two cats, a dog and a bird - from the Human Society," says Daisy.  "Someone saved and cared for them before they came to live with us, so I want to return the favor."

My Thoughts:



I adore the stories of young entrepreneurs striving to make a difference. When I heard about Daisy Creel and her passion for animals as well as giving back to the Humane Society, I knew I wanted to give LIPZU a try. Each lip balm had an adorable case that displayed an animated animal on the front. I was sent the lip balms: Figaro (cat), Gilbert (penguin), Huckleberry (dog), and Wish (panda). The flavors were Mango, Cherry, Strawberry, and Cucumber. 

I was impressed by how delicious the scents were. The product was silky smooth and easy to apply. I could feel the lip balm soaking in quickly upon application and leaving a softer feeling. My lips felt wonderful afterwards and there was no after taste or a need to keep reapplying many times. I put more on maybe three times a day depending on how my lips were feeling. I noticed an increase in hydration by the next day. My brother also tried these with me and he felt the same way. He gets horribly chapped lips that are prone to cracking, and he loved LIPZU. He didn't feel any burning, pain or stinging like other lip balms have given him. There is a lot of product in each pod, so these will last a long time. The animals on the front did wear off over time, but the product itself worked just as well. It was also great that they were organic! 


Here is the ingrediant list: Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Beeswax (Cire D’abeille), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Natural Flavor, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem Extract, Tocopherol, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract, and Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Fruit.  

Each lip balm is Gluten-free, Paraben-free, Petrolatum-free, Phthalate-free, 95% organic, 100% natural, and there is no animal testing. 

If you are looking for a wonderful product that supports giving back, I would highly recommend giving LIPZU a try! Each lip balm retails for only $6 each and shipping is always free. I'm wishing Daisy a wonderful time on her future career endeavors, and thank you to LIPZU for allowing me to give these awesome products a try!

Pucker Up! Here's the Ultimate Care Product for Your Pout!




Exposing lips to the harsh winter weather may leave lips chapped, cracked and dry. Tending to lips requires more than just a fruity flavored balm or protectant to soothe the skin. Check out the new AllGlamR’s Lip Servis, a natural moisturizing lip treatment that holds the key to a mouth of full, soft, and healthy looking lips

Lips are constantly in use and openly exposed to winter’s harsh environment so they are more subject to dehydration and aging. Lip Servis reduces fine lines and surface folds creating naturally fuller, more defined lips naturally while repairing signs of skin damage due to wind, cold and sun exposure. Lip Servis is jammed full of Hyaluronic Acid, a natural humectant that draws moisture from the surrounding air to the lips reinforcing the connective tissue, keeping skin soft, supple and plump while improving elasticity.

Lip Servis's lip-loving formulation works by providing long lasting moisture and stimulating the molecular structure of lips’ thin skin membranes. Collagen and hyaluronic acid play an integral role in shaping, filling and defining the appearance of lips. Lip Servis’s complex blend of safe, irritant-free ingredients directly stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis while restoring optimal moisturization when worn alone or under pigmented lip products.

"If your lips are very dry and cracked, avoid licking your lips and don't bite the skin on the surface of your lips as the skin will never have a chance to heal. Massage lips in the morning with a moisture delivering treatment like Lip Servis and at night before you go to bed”, says Gina Caruso the esthetician who developed the AllGlamR skincare collection.

"This can help boost your lips’ natural ability for repair while you sleep."

Lip Servis Benefits:
                - Stimulates collagen and hyaluronic acid synthesis
                - Plumps through collagen proliferation and skin hydration
                - Reduces wrinkles, fine lines and surface folds
                - Locks in moisture
                - Irritant free

Directions:
Smooth over lip area as often as needed. May be used under lipstick or alone.

 Manufactured in the USA. Totally Paraben free products and handcrafted
without harmful additives and irritants and never, tested on animals.  
.5 fl Oz/$40.00. For more information and to purchase visit www.allglamr.com.

My Thoughts:


Having sensitive skin that's prone to dryness, I was very excited to try, Lip Servis. I think I have purchased almost every lip balm on the market throughout the harsh winters and summers where my lips are at their driest. Almost all of them are thrown away after a week or so of giving them a chance. The constant need to reapply through the day, on top of waking up to see little to no results the next morning gets so frustrating. It feels like throwing money away. 

One of the first reasons that Lip Servis stood out to me was the ingredients and the benefits. Not only was the formula irritant free, it also locks in moisture while stimulating collagen. It can even help your lips when it comes to avoiding and treating fine lines and wrinkles. It is rare to find a product that can do all that in one! 


With the first application I could tell that the formula was thick, creamy, and easy to apply. You do not need a lot of the product to cover your lips. You can look below at the next couple of pictures to see how dreamy the formula is. Right away my lips felt soft and supple. It begins soaking in pretty fast with enough left over to make your lips feel cleansed. I had a couple dry spots and I could feel them hydrating. My little brother who also suffers from dry lips was surprised upon his first application too. He had a few minor cracks and could feel his lips beginning to heal. This did not sting or hurt the cracks at all.   



 After a couple days of use my lips were looking and feeling fantastic. I could see results the very next day! The dry spots were gone and my lips were easier to exfoliate. My brother also had fantastic results as well. I have not seen a product heal cracked lips so quickly. It also works great underneath lipsticks for my makeup lovers! 

Lip Servis is the way to go for those who are looking for a way to finally heal their lips and keep them looking and feeling hydrated, soft, and supple. If you are tired of other products that provide little to no results, I urge you to give this a shot! My tube now has a special spot in my purse.

Makeup Bag Makeover: Organic Products Under $25

  • Acquarella nail polish is completely free of toxins such as Formaldehyde, Toluene, Ketones or petrochemical solvents and available in a variety of gorgeous, vibrant and bold colors. Streak-free, water-based nail polish hydrates the nail while preventing any chipping or peeling (while looking great) and comes as an entire manicure set of non-toxic products – from a clear base to a non-toxic nail polish remover, making it the perfect gift set! Available for $16.00 at www.curediva.com.

  • Weleda Almond Soothing Facial Cream is like a warm, calming embrace for dry, sensitive and reactive skin.

This organic moisturizer provides natural antioxidants along with Vitamin E, beta carotene and omegas, to give gentle protection from dryness. Available for $18.00 at www.curediva.com.

My Thoughts 

I got the opportunity to review a variety of products from Cure Diva, including the lip balm, nail polish, facial moisturizer, and nail polish remover. These products are all either certified organic, or free of toxic ingredients. 



My favorite of the bunch was the facial moisturizer. It wasn't overly oily as some can be, and it felt light. The lip balm was also nice, moisturizing my lips without that overly sticky, uncomfortable sensation that some lip balms and lip sticks have left behind. I definitely recommend these two. 

As for the polish, it was nice, although the remover didn't really take it off as easily as I would have liked. Even after several applications, I still had a couple of spots here and there that just wouldn't come off until they eventually washed away. I can actually still see some of the clear polish that was left behind, so if you're getting the nail polish, I would definitely suggest getting the clear as well for a protective top coat that will make the color last longer. I did a clear base and then the color with no top coat. 

Overall, I like these brands and I would definitely consider replenishing some of the products once I am out.
