Beauty | Regenepure Luxury Hair Loss Shampoo

I am sure I have mentioned it on here before, but I have a fair amount of hair and it falls out CONSTANTLY. I leave a trail of long, blonde hairs everywhere I go. It tumbleweeds through my home, my parents home, my car...EVERYWHERE. It's annoying. But my hair is not thinning, at least that I have noticed. Regardless, I received this Regenepure Luxury Hair and Scalp Treatment shampoo for hair loss and was excited to give it a try.

This shampoo is sulfate and paraben free and includes no harsh chemicals. It does contain 1% ketonconazole - which is the only clinically proven ingredient for hair loss shampoo. Plus, it's a powerful anti-fungal which will help to defeat any dandruff issues that you may have. This shampoo also has aloe vera and jojobo oil to help ease any inflammation or irritation that may arise.

I really enjoyed using this shampoo, but to be honest I didn't notice any less hair loss. But to be fair, my hair is not thinning out so maybe it was never going to work for the natural type of hair loss/regrowth that I have. Regardless, I really enjoyed using it - my scalp never felt irritated or inflamed, it smells good and my hair felt nice and clean.

Beauty | FoxBrim Vitamin C Moisturizer

I love a good moisturizer, obviously. A lightweight moisturizer is an absolute must have for me, I hate feeling like I have layers of product all over my face. So naturally when I am given opportunities to try new moisturizers, I feel hesitant. So I accepted an opportunity to try out FoxBrim's Vitamin C Lotion.

 



I was pleasantly surprised, it's a lightweight formula that absorbs into the skin quickly and doesn't leave any sort of gross residue. It also doesn't really have a scent, which is nice. It, as the name suggests, has Vitamin C for quality skin protection - so it's great to apply in the morning so you have the protection as you go about your day. Since it is so lightweight, it wears really well under makeup. Another key ingredient is aloe vera, so this moisturizer is very soothing and helps promote skin elasticity.

I definitely love this moisturizer; it's formula and the ingredients. I will continue to use this in the mornings to help my skin stay protected and healthy all day long!

Beauty | Petunia Skincare Products

So I got an email awhile back asking if I was interested in trying out some of Petunia Skincare's products. I agreed, and I was sent their eye serum, their hyaluronic acid serum and a derma roller. I was hesitant about the derma roller, because it sounds terrifying, but I agreed and as soon as I received the package I ripped into it.

 

First, the Hyaluronic Acid Serum; I opened it and the smell was terrible. I was not impressed immediately because I don't necessarily get excited about rubbing something that stinks all over my face every day. But I rubbed into the back of my hand and it soaked in nicely, didn't leave any sort of stiffness or residue. So besides the smell, it was a typical serum. This one in particular is great for anti-aging and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. This product is also vegan and cruelty-free.

Next was the Revitalize Eye Serum, and it too had a terrible scent. I am really disappointed about the smell of these two products. This eye serum isn't too liquid - it's more of a gel formula which I prefer for nighttime. It's definitely silky smooth and absorbs right into the skin, which is a definite bonus. My eyes do feel a little bit less heavy after using this product and it does a great job moisturizing that sensitive area around my eyes.

Lastly, the terrifying Derma Roller. Derma Roller's are supposed to help promote collagen production, accelerate skin regeneration, reduce wrinkles, fade stretch marks and cellulite. What the what?! The derma roller is literally a roller made up of stainless steel microneedles and you roll it across your face encouraging your skin to regenerate because of the tiny little injuries (holes) it is making. Your serums, creams, etc should also absorb faster because of the opening of the pores. It makes sense, but it sounds scary too. So the order of operations would be: cleanse, derma roller, toner, serum, moisturizer. In case you need to be told, you should NOT use this in the area around your eyes. That area is incredibly sensitive and poking it with a ton of little needles would not be good. So, I tried it and it definitely hurt a little bit. Nothing major, but it was irritating. I have noticed a difference though. I only did it on spots where I was having some breakouts, and they were cleared up by the next day. That is amazing. A tiny, little bit of irritation is worth a next day clear-up! Definitely use this at night though, because it might turn your skin red if you're pale or have sensitive skin.

All in all, I am very happy with Petunia Skincare and their products and I definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested!

Beauty | New Radiance Naturals Vitamin C Serum





I have tried a lot of serum's in my day. I love playing around with beauty and skincare products, that's one of the reason's I do this blog. It's incredibly exciting and enjoyable to try new things. I have recently tried a new serum; New Radiance Naturals Vitamin C Serum.

 

Like a lot of skincare products, this serum promotes anti-aging due to the amounts of Vitamin C and Vitamin E that are present in it. It also says it will fade any discolorations, acne scars, freckles and it will also firm up sagging/wrinkled skin. I have freckles, and I don't want them faded. This serum is also 98% natural, 72% organic and 100% plant based. Those are all great things.

This serum comes in a little glass jar with a dropper, like a lot of the Vitamin C serum's I have tried. It's kind of a pale yellow-orangey color which made me skeptical at first because I have used a VERY orange serum in the past and it tinted my skin that color...under the guise of making it look "radiant". I can say with 100% certainty that this DID NOT tint my skin a weird color. Thank goodness for that.

While this product did not tint my skin, I also did not really notice any huge changes. I have only been using it for a little over a week or so, and while my skin does feel soft - I haven't noticed any fading of discolorations, etc. Which is actually fine by me, because I don't want my freckles to fade - but I do have some spots that could be evened out.

I really do like this product, and will continue to use it in hopes that it will my impending aging effects, along with helping my few spots of discoloration. I give this product a hearty 4/5 stars!

Beauty | Body Merry Products

The weather for the first part of 2015 was bitterly cold and all around just terrible for my skin. I generally have more oily skin, but I was completely dried out and flaky which was a new issue for me. I was given an opportunity to review Body Merry's Retinol Surge Moisturizer and their Dew Serum, and I was immediately intrigued by the Dew Serum. I have tried a few Vitamin C serum's and they can be a bit sticky, but Dew Serum?! That sounded amazing, light and like it might give a glowing dewy complexion. I immediately jumped on board.

First, up the Retinol Surge Moisturizer contains 2.5% Retinol  which is known to help aging skin preserve a youth-like quality, but Retinol can also be quite drying on the skin. Needless to say, I was hesitant because of that factor. But this moisturizer is THICK. In a good way. When I slathered (yes, slathered) it on my face and neck, it immediately felt soothed and hydrated. It also soaked in quickly, without any sort of greasy residue. I was incredibly surprised by that. The formula used to help hydrate, even with the retinol, is shea butter, green tea, organic jojoba oil, Vitamin E and Vitamin B5. I imagine the shea butter is the reason for the thick texture, but let me tell you that it feels great when applied. Plus, it is a huge size at 3.4 oz.

 

The magical mysterious dew serum. When I first opened it, I was so happy it was clear. A lot of the Vitamin C serum's have a orange/yellow tint to it and I feel like when I apply that to my super pale skin it tints it that color. So this was clear, and a lot less runny. The texture was almost gel-like. That got me irrationally excited. It was super cooling on the skin and dried pretty quickly. I gave it a few minutes to soak in before applying the Surge Moisturizer, just to make sure. This serum has vitamin c, jojoba oil and green tea all of which are great for your skin and help to promote anti-aging effects. I love this serum, I never once felt shiny or sticky or orange.

So there you have it, I am pretty happy with these recent finds and I will definitely continue to use them. Have you ever tried a dew serum? What were your thoughts?
