Problems Ordering From Memebox! #memebox #beautybox

I have been wanting to order from Memebox for a while now. I have heard phenomenal things from others about their boxes. However, the ordering page does not work for me. I have boxes tucked away in my cart and when I get to the ordering page it goes blank. This happens to me in all browsers I have tried an even in my phone. I have been back and forth with their customer service many times but I don't think they understand my issue.

I want to know if anyone else has the same problem I am having. I am dying to try out their super cool boxes.


Thanks,
Beauty Box Junkie~

Review: Bigen Hair Care Products #Bigen

 (photos courtesy of www.bigenusastore.com)

After I used the Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color, I was sent these products to try out. Bigen makes a whole line of hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, shine serum and sheen spray) that are extremely useful in keeping hair color bright and protected.

Protect & Repair Shampoo $4.99 (8 fl.oz. 236 mL)

Bigen Protect and Repair Shampoo
This is a gentle shampoo that detangles and restores moisture to dry, over processed hair. It contains rice water, which has been known for centuries to keep hair healthy, strong and shiny. Rice Water is then combined with Inositol and Sunflower Seed Oil to help protect & repair color treated, chemically processed and damaged hair. The shampoo formula revives and protects damaged hair to improve elasticity, it moisturizes and it is safe for color treated hair. Leaves hair tangle free with a lot of body and shine! To use: wet hair and apply a generous amount and work into a rich lather. Rinse thoroughly. Repeat is needed for oily hair or hair that has build up from product. Follow with Protect & Repair Deep Conditioner With Sunflower Oil & Rice Water Essence.

This shampoo leaves hair feeling soft and incredibly shiny. It does give a nice, rich lather. I love that my damaged hair gets what it needs from this shampoo, because it is damaged from coloring and this provides protection and helps to repair the damage.

Protect & Repair Conditioner $1.99 per packet (1.75 oz./51.7mL)
Bigen Protect and Repair Conditioner
This deep penetrating conditioner has Rice Water along with Inositol and Sunflower Seed Oil to protect and repair damaged, color treated hair and chemically processed hair. The best way to use this deep conditioner is to apply the whole pack to your entire head of hair. Distribute evenly to hair with a wide tooth comb. Place a plastic cap over hair and sit under a warm dryer for 10 minutes or 15 minutes with a plastic cap and no dryer. Rinse hair thoroughly and gently towel dry. Style as usual.

After using this deep conditioner hair feels so soft, looks incredibly shiny and is definitely bouncy and full of life again. It repairs hair to the point that it looks like it does not have any chemical damage. 


Polishing Serum $5.99 (4 fl.oz./118 mL)

Bigen Polishing Serum
What can you say about this Polishing Serum except that it is wonderful! It is the kind of polishing serum that you put on your hair and just gives it instant shine, smoothes frizziness, controls damage, hydrates and detangles. Definitely multipurpose! The serum is enriched with Sunflower Seed Oil and Shea Butter to infuse moisture and shine. It can be used every day. 

Apply 1-2 drops to the palm of your hand. Rub hands together and distributer through hair starting at the ends and working to the roots. Style as desired. Use on dry or damp hair. If needed, you can use a small amount more. Definitely don’t add too much or hair will be greasy.

I love how this makes my hair so incredibly shiny. I have red hair and it needs to look shiny or it does not look good at all. The polishing serum adds so much shine to my hair that it reflects like a mirror. 

Sheen Spray $4.99

Bigen Sheen Spray
Sheen spray has Sunflower Seed Oil, Beeswax and Shea Butter to create a light and healthy finish for styling. Great for all hair types to replenish and restore shine. Great for natural hair. For best results, hold can 10-12 inches from hair and spray lightly. Do not spray too much onto hair or it will be greasy.

This us a little bit different than the polishing serum. It adds loads of shine to the hair but without any weight. If you want just a light spray of shine, this will be for you. It is more for the top layer of hair. The Polishing Serum is for the whole head of hair. This is good for fine, thin hair that cannot hold the serum, etc.

I love how much shine I get from this spray. My hair gets a sheen that is like diamonds. The light reflects off of my hair and it looks so pretty.

If your hair is on need of hair products that provide deep conditioning and loads of shine, Then Protect & Repair Shampoo,Protect & Repair Conditioner Polishing Serum and Sheen Spray are perfect for you. The prices are extremely reasonable and the products perform very well. Please see my review on Bigen Permanent Powder Hair Color (http://bit.ly/1wGakgZ), the only permanent hair color that comes in a powder form.

Review: boscia Daily Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA +++ #boscia #sunscreen

(photo courtesy of www.boscia.com)

boscia daily defense sunscreen broad spectrum SPF 50
 boscia introduces Daily Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA+++, a daytime moisturizer and anti-aging sunscreen with broad spectrum SPF 50 PA+++ in one. Great for all skin types, this cream has chemical and mineral sun protectants (avobenzone, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide). Avobenzone is a chemical sunscreen that absorbs the UVA radiation. Titanium dioxide is a physical sunscreen that scatters UV light to prevent sun damage. Zinc oxide is another physical sunscreen that reflects UVlight and also offers the best UVA/UVB sun protection to prevent skin damage from the sun. It is recommended for all skin types
.
This cream also has hyaluronic acid for great moisturization, as it is a humectant that holds 1000x its own weight in water. Ajidew N-50 is derived from sodium and is a natural humectant that is found in the skin. It is one of the components of the skin’s own Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). This humectant really retains moisture and imparts a pleasant and moist feeling to the skin and helps to maintain skin’s softness and elasticity. DL Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5 and has an anti-inflammatory effect that improves the appearance of the skin by alleviating its dryness and roughness. It moisturizes the stratum corneum, helps to reduce moisture loss and maintains skin’s elasticity and softness. This sunscreen/moisturizer also contains boscia’s proprietary blend of jojoba leaf and willowherb. Jojoba leaf helps to prevent free radical damage while also nourishing the skin. Willowherb helps to calm the skin’s inflammation and reduces redness and irritation. 

What I love about this cream is that it is very light. The sunscreen goes on white at first (due to the high zinc oxide content) but it does eventually blend into the skin within a few minutes. Once into the skin, there is no trace of the white sunscreen at all leftover. This is also a moisturizer and it does leave the skin feeling moisturized too, but the nice thing is it is not too heavy at all. I have normal skin. At this stage of the spring season my skin feels almost “perfectly” normal, meaning there is not too much oil on my skin yet as will happen when the weather gets hotter. This cream feels just right. It does not feel too greasy nor does it make my skin feel heavy. Even when I put foundation on top of it! I also love that this has a good dose of sunscreen, a SPF 50. My skin is very fair and in the summer months I need a good and high SPF. This sunscreen/moisturizer is an excellent choice for the spring/summer months or any time you need to get outside and protect your skin. boscia has done it again, with another excellent product.

Daily Defense Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50 PA+++ retails for $36.00 and comes in a 1.7 fl.oz. tube with a pump top that is easy to use. It is available to purchase on www.boscia.com, www.sephora.com and in SEPHORA stores.

I Am THE Makeup Junkie’s May HIT LIST #HITLIST #iamthemakeupjunkie

This month my HIT LIST is a little more skincare oriented. I have been trying out a lot of skincare products lately and most of them are so cool that I have to feature them on my HIT LIST for best products on the market that you just have to go out and try! This month I am doing 6 products instead of just 5, as I have 1 more than the usual that I think need mentioning.
 
1) Bare Minerals BARESKIN Pure Brightening Serum Foundation $29.00 and the Perfecting Face Brush is.$28.00.
Bare Minerals BARESkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation
The new BARESKIN Pure Brightening Serum Foundation from Bare Minerals is an exceptional formula because it is a mineral foundation and a brightening serum in one. It has been clinically proven to correct the skin tone. This formula is extremely pure, it does brushnot have any oil, silicones, parabens or fragrances. The formula is also non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. It was made with just the barest minimum of ingredients. 
 
Coverage is adaptable, from very sheer to full, with just a few drops. There are 20 shades to choose from, which is great for those who have trouble finding a good match. The foundation has an SPF of 20, in a mineral sunscreen form of titanium dioxide 11%. So for those of you who have problems with chemical sunscreens, this foundation is perfect for you! The lightening comes from Vitamin C and Lilac Plant Stem Cells. The base of the foundation is coconut-derived with jojoba-coated mineral pigments.  
  This foundation has its very own Perfecting Face Brush that was designed just for BARESKIN Pure Brightening Serum Foundation. It has a fluid reservoir that allows for a no-mess application. Application of the foundation is very, very easy. I always apply a primer first, so that skin has a base for the foundation to cling to. I recommend Prime Time from Bare Minerals. It works very well. First, you have to shake the bottle of foundation. This is essential because the contents do separate. As there are no “bad” ingredients (such as silicones) in the formula, shaking brings them together again. You can always start with 1-2 drops of foundation and work up to more. Or, if you know you need more coverage then start with more drops. For sheer to medium coverage apply 2-4 drops of foundation in the middle of the brush (in the indentation) and swirl and buff around the face. I start with the cheeks and work my way to the forehead and chin. For full coverage 4-6 drops or more is ideal. And again, swirl and buff around the face.
See my full review here: http://bit.ly/1iekQCu. BARESKIN Pure Brightening Serum Foundation retails for $29.00 (1 fl.oz.). the Perfecting Face Brush retails for $28.00. Both are available online at www.bareescentuals.com, www.ulta.com, www.sephora.com, www.macys.com. SEPHORA, Ulta, Macy's and at Bare Escentuals boutiques.


2). illuMask Anti-Acne and Anti Aging Light Therapy Mask $29.99
  Anti-acne-illumask
illuMask is poised to take on the beauty world by storm. This company has come out with one of the most interesting products that I have seen in a while. Imagine taking an expensive piece of anti-aging and anti-acne equipment and making it inexpensive so that the average person can afford to use it everyday? Well it is possible now. IlluMask has done it.! They have created two different masks, an anti-aging mask and an anti-acne mask and have made it possible for everyone to be able to purchase it. The price point is affordable and the technology has been made easy to use. 
The anti-acne mask uses LED light therapy blue and red light to fight bacteria that causes acne. With the mask you get 30 uses, one whole month in each mask. They claim that with regular use you can expect that your complexion will become clearer, you will get fewer breakouts, you will have less redness and pain with the blemishes, skin will be less oily or flaky. It is safe for all skin types and skin tones. The mask will also help to decrease the redness associated with previous breakouts.
The illuMask Anti-Aging treatment uses phototherapy LED red and infrared light to fight the signs of aging. With regular use it will help skin to look younger. Skin will look visibly brighter. It will also look clearer, smoother and more radiant. There will also be a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and an improvement of skin tone and texture. Finally, skin will appear firmer and more elastic. 
  See my full review here: http://bit.ly/1hkC9l2. The illuMask is available online from: www.ulta.com, www.walmart.com, www.target.com, www.walgreens.com and www.drugstore.com. It is available in stores at Ulta, Wal-Mart, Target and Walgreens.

4) boscia Konjac Cleansing Sponge with Bamboo Charcoalboscia konjac cleansing sponge with bamboo charcoal $18.00
I reviewed the original Konjac sponge from boscia and this one is just as good, if not better. This one has bamboo charcoal to cleanse and exfoliate and help treat blemishes. It can be used on its own or with cleanser. Konjac root has been used for over 1,500 years as a both a beauty and dietary staple. Bamboo charcoal absorbs toxins and impurities. The activates charcoal is worked throughout the sponge. The sponge is gentle enough for even the most sensitive of skins and can even be used underneath the eye area. When used regularly, the Konjac Cleansing Sponge with Bamboo Charcoal helps draw out impurities, minimize the appearance of pores and reduces blemish-causing bacteria. Look for a more in depth review of this product.
Available from www.boscia.com, www.sephora.com and SEPHORA stores.


 5) boscia Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel $38.00
boscia revitalizing black hydration gel
I’m a big fan of anything that boscia puts out.  This product is amazing, it is a very light but potent moisturizer with activated charcoal. It has the most awesome herbal fragrance. The Revitalizing Black Hydration Gel refines skin texture, brightens skin clarity and minimizes the look or pores instantly and over time. The charcoal absorbs excess oil and impurities, artichoke leaf reduces pore size, glycolic acid improves skin texture, Vitamin C brightens skin tone, pomegranate enzyme exfoliates and licorice root reduces hyperpigmentation. The boscia proprietary blend of jojoba leaf helps with free radical damage and willowherb calms inflammation and redness/irritation. 
 
I love how light this moisturizer is but how well it hydrates the skin. It really does sink right into the skin and leaves it feeling softer, smoother and looking radiant. My skin texture is definitely better after having used it for a few weeks now. Look for a more in depth review of this moisturizer.
 

6) Le Mieux Skin Perfecter $225.00
le mieux skin perfector
The Le Mieux Skin Perfecter is the perfect machine for obtaining perfect skin. It has multiple uses. Just 3 easy steps, 3 minutes, 3 times a week and you can have perfect skin. The Skin Perfecter is way beyond any ordinary cleansing device. It is a 4-in-1 tool that combines four skin perfecting treatments into one ultrasonic, handheld beauty tool. Professional-strength ultrasonic waves cleanse, exfoliate, extract and infuse serums to reveal smoother, brighter and more perfecto skin. Micro massage action gently cleanses and stimulates the skin.Plus, the best thing of all, the Skin Perfecter is easy to use and never requires brushes, cartridges, or discs.
These four treatments can be done with the
Skin Perfecter:

    • Cleanser--deep cleanses skin and pores of excess oil, makeup residue, and surface impurities.
    • Exfoliator--gently removes cellular buildup using non-abrasive micro-exfoliation.
    • Extractor--extracts imperfections and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
    • Infuser--accelerates absorption of serums and other skincare treatments.

The Skin Perfecter provides low frequency ultrasonic waves (28,000 vibrations per second) to gently cleanse, tone, stimulate the skin and accelerate the absorption of skincare treatments. The low frequency waves create cavitation, which is the sudden formation and collapse of bubbles in liquid. The impact of bubbles collapsing on the skin surface creates micro-jets that increase the permeability of cell walls, transporting molecules through the stratum corneum. It has an immediate two-fold benefit:
  • to deeply cleanse by softening pores, pushing out debris and impurities
  • to enhance the delivery of appropriately formulated topical skincare treatments and propelling products more affectively to the targeted area.

See my full review here: http://bit.ly/1mlrBFa .
The Skin Perfecter retails for $225.00. Order the Skin Perfecter from www.skinperfecter.com.
 

Those are my picks for the month of May. I hope you like them. I plan to do more in depth reviews of a few of these products, but I had to let you know about them ASAP. Getting the info out to you was my ultimate goal. These are some great products that work. They are worth every penny of their price.
 
Until Next Time~

Review: Doctor BABOR DERMA CELLULAR Ultimate Vitamin C Booster Concentrate #DoctorBabor #VitaminC

(photo of product courtesy of www.us.babor.com)

500-babor_ultimate-vitamin-c-booster-concentrateI have used many Vitamin C treatments over the past few months. Nothing has come close to actually doing anything to my skin as this product has. The Doctor BABOR DERMA CELLULAR Ultimate Vitamin C Booster Concentrate contains 20% pure Vitamin C derivative to help support the skin’s natural collagen production. It also protect against environmentally induced oxidative damage to the skin. The serum has a stable Vitamin C concentrate that evens out the skin’s complexion and gives it a more beautiful, radiant appearance.

Below you can see the results I achieved with the booster. This is the most successful use of a vitamin C serum I have had. I do believe that this booster gets rid of sun damage and gives skin a more radiant complexion. It does help with collagen production and decreases free radical damage. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. There is really nothing to add, as you can see my results below and see how dramatic they are. My forehead is a little dehydrated from overuse of some chemical peels, but that is not from the Vitamin C booster. 

(Below: photo on left is taken from May 3, 2014. Shows forehead prior to start of Derma Cellular Ultimate Vitamin C Booster Concentrate use. Photo on right taken May 29, 2014. Forehead has definitely shown improvement. Freckling is decreased. Sun damage is decreased. Skin looks clearer and more radiant.)

Review: Colorado Aromatics Springtide Gold Anti-Aging Face Cream & Parsley Eye Serum #ColoradoAromatics

(photos courtesy of www.coloradoaromatics.com)

Colorado Aromatics was started by Dr. Cindy Jones, a biochemist and herb farmer. She has an extensive background in physiology, toxicology, microbiology, cancer research and cosmetic science. She is a highly sought after product development consultant for natural cosmetic and skincare products. Her passion for science and her love of herbs became the catalyst to develop the Colorado Aromatics skincare line. This line has a scientific perspective behind it. Her knowledge of herbalism and skincare is the basis of the brand. She found a niche in cosmetic formulation. Dr. Jones has a team of experts that help her with all of her products. Not only does they help make the products in the Colorado Aromatics line, but the team do a lot of consulting as well as private labeling and small scale manufacturing. They also make and sell botanical extracts under the name Colorado Aromatics. 

The Colorado Aromatics line consists of a good number of products for skincare and wellness. I was lucky enough to two of them. Both are all natural and vegan products. I tried the Springtide Gold Anti-Aging Face Cream and the Parsley Eye Serum. Believe me, I was pleasantly surprised at how well these products worked. Especially because these are almost all natural products, with very little chemical components.

Colorado Aromatics Springtime Gold Anti-Aging Face Cream
 
coloradoaromatics springtide gold anti-aging face cream
This cream is extraordinarily rich. The first time I put it on I was pleasantly surprised because it actually “prickled” when I put it on. I thought it must be a fluke but every time I applied it did it again and again. I attribute this to the ingredients in this cream. This cream is all natural and is not one of those creams that you would think is too granola. I also adore the scent. It has an herbal scent that reminds me of salad! The Springtime Gold Anti-Aging Face Cream is supposed to decrease the signs of aging caused by sun exposure and oxidation (free radicals). The ingredients in this cream are very fresh. The emollient cream has the following: raspberry seed oil to block UV light; rice bran oil to soften and restructure skin; green tea extract for collagen support and to reduce wrinkles; allantoin, which is very soothing and hydrating for the skin and regenerates cells; lupine extract to prevent water loss; calendula extract, which is an anti-inflammatory; vitamin C ester to support collagen production; alpha lipoic acid to reduce wrinkles; fennel extract improves moisture and rosemary is an anti-oxidant that tones skin. This formula is a little bit different than the original one. It contains added peptides to boost collagen synthesis.

I liked how rich and emollient this cream is. If you have dry skin, you will really enjoy this cream. I don’t think if would be ideal for those with oily or acneic skin types. This is a cream that is good for those with normal to dry skin skins. It is for aging skin, you have to remember. I like that it hydrates the skin so well. In the mornings, after having used this cream, my skin looked and felt amazing. Truly amazing.
Colorado Aromatics Springtime Gold Anti-Aging Face Cream comes in a 2 oz. container for $24.95


Parsley Eye Serum
  colorado aromatics parsely eye serum
This serum, or oil if you will, is rich is Vitamins A & K, to help reduce fine lines and dark circles around the eyes. It contains organic macadamia nut oil which is rich in fatty acids and protects aging skin; parsley extract, an anti-inflammatory rich in Vitamins A, C & K; sea buckthorn oil, rich in anti-oxidants, phytosterols, carotenoids, vitamins A and E; rosemary extract rich in antioxidants; it is high in palmitoleic acid and also contains meadowfoam oil. Smooth on gently around the eyes, dabbing gently under the eye and beside eye area as well. Even though it is an eye serum it makes a great facial oil as well and can be used anywhere on the face that it is needed. It is also great around the lips as well. 
 
This oil is soothing to the eye area. It definitely helps with fine lines and wrinkles in the eye area. I can say that it is a great serum/oil to have around and use. As for dark circles, I do think that it helped lighten mine just a tad. My dark circles are already pretty light, the Vitamin K it great for dark circles. I do think that I did have good luck with this oil and that I will continue to use it.
Parsley Eye Serum is (1/2 fl.oz.) $10.95.
 
Not only do they have face care, but they have skin & body care and bath & shower care products too. A large number of the ingredients for their products comes from the Colorado Aromatics farm, which recently has become Certified Naturally Grown (a grassroots alternative to Organic). Colorado Aromatics products are available from www.coloradoaromatics.com.
