Sevendrops Katafray Aqua Soothing Gel Cream Review

IMG_20170713_194558_518

I had the opportunity to test out Sevendrops Katafray Aqua Soothing Gel Cream. On the box that it came in it says it’s formulated from Rawganic by using Fiji Islands water and that it’s for normal to combination skin. I really liked the packaging because it comes with a nice pump to easily get the product out of. I also like the look and feel of the packaging. They used really nice colors that go together well and the bottle is very smooth. It also has a nice cap so that you can keep the container sanitary in between uses. The texture of the product is really nice. I really enjoyed smoothing the product over my face and neck and the cream did a good job of absorbing easily into my face and neck. The only thing that I didn’t like was the scent but you couldn’t smell anything after you applied the product to your face which is a good thing. I felt that it did a good job of hydrating and moisturizing my face and I definitely plan to continue using this. It seems like it’s the perfect product for summertime since they state that it’s water-based and most of us tend to be out in the sun more often in the summertime. This is meant for day and night use. In the photo above you’ll see that I did a swatch of it on my hand so that you could see what the texture looks like. The texture is nice and thick. I applied it to my hand and then 20 minutes later it hadn’t even budged or slid down my hand at all. It stayed in the same spot. I received this product free for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

Roloxin Lift Mask Review

IMG_20170727_152244_425

I tested out the Roloxin Lift mask. To use it you just massage the package for 20 seconds to activate it, apply a thin layer to your face and neck, wait 7 to 10 minutes, then rinse it off.  I could feel something happening on my face while I was wearing it. It didn’t hurt but it was like a tingling sensation. It rinsed off really easily and I could feel a difference in my skin after I removed the mask. It just felt like my skin had a clean slate to start all over with. This sample came with two of the exact same mask so I will be using that one also in the future.

Carol’s Daughter Rhassoul Clay Shampoo and Conditioner Review

IMG_20170727_165014_323

I tried out @carolsdaughter Rhassoul Clay Shampoo and Conditioner. They both smelled really nice! The shampoo lathered up well and did a great job of cleaning my hair. The conditioner had a different texture than what I’m used to (not silky like most conditioners), but that’s not a bad thing. It was easy to use and made my hair soft and smell really good. I received these products free for testing and review purposes from @pinchme and all opinions are my own.

Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence Aqua Mineral Solution Review

IMG_20170730_181735_974

I had the opportunity to try out the Vella Ultra Hydro Sun Essence Aqua Mineral Solution. The packaging is nice and sleek looking. At first I thought the lid was metal but it just looks metal. The entire packaging is plastic. I don’t necessarily like the way that you have to squeeze the contents out, I’d prefer a pump. The product had more of an oily consistency as opposed to a creamy consistency. That’s not a bad thing in my opinion. It seemed to absorb into my skin really quickly and easily and my skin felt nice and moisturized. It has kind of a men’s cologne sort of scent to it to me and I didn’t like that. The scent did go away after I applied the product to my face though. I may end up giving this product to my boyfriend just because of the scent. I like the fact that it has SPF 50 in it, that’s really convenient. The directions weren’t in English. I tried to find them online but gave up after a short amount of time. I went on the product website but it wouldn’t translate what I needed it to into English. I know that the product is for your face so I just applied it to my face and neck like I would have done with a normal moisturizer. Wasn’t too big of a deal. If it would have been a different kind of product that required more instruction then I think it would have been a bigger deal to be able to find the directions. Overall this is not a bad product. I received this product free for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

My Signature C Source Face Serum Review

IMG_20170731_215727_414

I got to test out the My Signature C Source Face Serum. It has a very pleasant scent. Surprisingly I like the packaging, more specifically I’m referring to the dropper that you dispense the product from. You don’t need too much product in my opinion so the dropper is nice because you can get the right amount that you want to apply to your face and neck. I felt that this product absorbed into my skin well and didn’t leave it feeling oily or anything. I also applied moisturizer on top of it as the directions stated and it didn’t make my skin feel oily either with a moisturizer on top. I plan to continue using this product as it was overall an enjoyable product to use. I like that they specifically put an insert in English with the directions in it so that I didn’t have to hunt down a translation of the directions. I received this product free for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

Tony Moly Tomato Face Mask Sheet Review

IMG_20170803_151350_359

I tested out the @tonymoly.official Tomato Face Mask Sheet. It’s VERY moisturizing. So much so that the mask was dripping while I was wearing it, and I’m not complaining! I felt a cooling sensation while I was wearing it and my face felt very moisturized afterwards. I will definitely be purchasing this in the future, I’m very impressed with this mask.

Revlon Photoready Pore Reducing Prime Review

IMG_20170807_210902_256

I tested the Revlon Photoready Pore Reducing Primer. It gave a nice, light coverage to my face, but I didn’t notice my pores reducing in size. I thought that this went onto my skin nicely and it didn’t have a noticeable scent. I plan to continue using this product because it did provide some initial coverage prior to me putting on my foundation. I also really like the fact that it comes in a glass container with a lid because glass can preserve the life of the product better and the lid keeps the product more sanitary. I received this product free for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

Old Spice Invisible Spray Review

IMG_20170825_182716_307

Here is the review from my boyfriend’s perspective:

I tried Old Spice Invisible Spray Bearglove antiperspirant and deodorant. I like the fact that it comes in a spray, it’s invisible and doesn’t leave any marks on my clothes, and the scent lasts all day.

I like the packaging because the red color reminds me of a manly lumberjack and I like the bears because that’s also a manly feature.

My job requires a lot of physical movement and I noticed that this deodorant kept me dry and I could still smell it throughout the day as compared to my regular deodorant which doesn’t stop my sweating.

I would recommend this deodorant to anyone because it smells good and works very well.

Beauty Mory Crystal Cream Review

IMG_20170905_084514_540

I had the opportunity to try out the Beauty Mory Crystal Cream. It didn’t have much of a scent to it which was fine by me. I love the packaging and it feels really comfortable to hold the tube in your hand while using it. I noticed a little bit of stinging right when I applied it to my face but it went away almost right away. I’m guessing the stinging had something to do with the fact that it’s an enzyme peel. It’s hard to see if it made much of a difference on my skin after one use but I like the concept and I’ll continue using it to see if there’s a difference in the look or feel of my face. It was really easy to use. I cleansed my face before I went to bed, dryed my face, then applied the product. I washed it off the next morning in the shower using my face wash. It’s a lightweight cream so you can’t really tell that you’re wearing it. I received this product free for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

Suave Essentials Waterfall Mist Shampoo Review

IMG_20170928_204245_185I had the opportunity to try out Suave Essentials Shampoo & Conditioner in Waterfall Mist. I don’t think I’ve used Suave shampoo and conditioner since I was a teenage!. I’m definitely happy with this set! It isn’t the first scent that I would pick but it’s not bad. I didn’t notice an overpowering scent in my hair later in the day or anything. My hair smelled clean! It did a great job of cleansing and conditioning my hair. Sometimes conditioners can be hit or miss but I actually enjoyed using this and I like how my hair looked and felt after using it. I received these products free from Crowdtap for testing and review purposes and all opinions are my own.

Have you guys tried Suave shampoo and conditioner? Would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Until next time,
