Review: 100% Pure Skincare and Cosmetics #100PercentPure #Skincare #Makeup

(product photos courtesy of www.100percentpure.com)

A little while ago I was sent items some from 100% PURE to test out. I received an eye cream, a night cream, a couple of lipsticks and some lip glosses. At first I did not think that these products were going to be as good as most of my regular products. After all, 100% PURE is known for being 100% all natural and frankly, most of the all natural cosmetics I have encountered have not been that good. I was pleasantly surprised though how nice these items were. The lipsticks are pigmented, creamy and go on very well. The night cream is rich and luxurious. The eye cream really helped with my puffiness and dark circles. Read on below for my reviews of all of the products they sent me. 

Multi-Vitamin + Antioxidant Ultra Riche PM Treatment $55.00



This is a super, ultra rich evening cream that is a multi-vitamin powerhouse. I was able to try it out but it will not be available until April. It contains Vitamin C and the repairing Vitamin A. The nightly dose of these nutrients work to repair daily damage of the skin. It has the maximum percentage of vitamins possible without being irritating to the skin. This product is 100% PURE's thickest, most luxurious skincare product. You will definitely notice a difference in the skin when you wake up. It has Vitamins E, A, C, D, K and B complex which work together to brighten, strengthen, moisturize, retain moisture, reduce fine lines and stimulate collagen production in the skin.

I used this on my skin and found it to be a great product. It definitely works on helping to give skin anti-aging benefits. I love how rich and thick this cream is. It is a great cream to have for the night. All of the ingredients in this cream are anti-aging powerhouses and work intensely to help reduce fine lines and brighten up the skin. Used regularly, this cream will make skin look amazing.  

 

Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream 1 fl.oz./30 mL $25.00

I am truly lucky. The only thing I have to worry about right now with my eyes are dark circles and puffiness. This cream takes care of both of those problems. It is rich in caffeine laden green tea and coffee which helps to improve the appearance of puffy under-eyes and brightens dark circles.


The results of an independent 4-week clinical study showed the following:


  • 83% saw immediate reduction of puffiness
  • 97% saw reduction of puffiness with continued use
  • 73% saw an immediate reduction of dark circles
  • 87% saw reduction of dark circles with continued use
  • 87% say they look more 'awake, rested and refreshed
  • 80% say that it instantly helped reduce the look of lines and wrinkles around the eye area
  • 97% say skin around their eyes softer and smoother
  • 93% say it reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with continued use
  • 100% say it improved skin hydration and moisturization
  • 93% say it improved skin firmness/elasticity
  • 93% say that the eye cream absorbs well
This eye cream is anti-inflammatory, rich in caffeine green tea and coffee. It reduces the appearance of puffy eye and brightens dark under eye circles. The cream has concentrated potent anti-aging vitamins, anti-oxidants and nourishing rosehip oil to make the area appear more awake and more youthful. 

I suffer from dark circles and eye puffiness. This cream did help with both of these bothersome problems. Immediately I noticed a difference in the puffiness. It took that away within days. After a couple of weeks I noticed that my dark circles were fading fairly fast. I would recommend this cream for both of these problems. If you are looking for something for fine lines, supposedly it helps those too but I cannot say whether or not it does as I don't have any. It did make my eyes look better, more awake and refreshed.

Bright Eyes: Mask to De-Puff and Brighten the Under Eye Area $7.00 per mask

This mask is highly caffeinated to brighten and de-puff the under eye area. It is extremely hydrating, quenching thirsty skin with a blast of water delivered to dehydrated skin cells. The mask is made with "hydrogel" material, which is composed of 95% organic aloe water and 5% plant cellulose made to intensely hydrate. The longer you leave it on the thinner it becomes because the water gets absorbed into the skin. The hydrogel assists in delivering active ingredients onto the skin. 

To use, apply the mask onto clean skin, onto the under eye area. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and follow with your normal skincare regimen. Do not rinse off. Use 1-7 times per week (yes, it can be used daily if needed). 

This mask immediately makes the eyes look super. It takes away all puffiness and dark circles. Eyes look brand new again and feel great. If you suffer from dehydration, then this is for you too as it really helps to put moisture back into the skin. Crinkles will be gone and eyes will feel refreshed and soft. Fine lines will be gone too. It is a super mask.

Fruit Pigmented Pomegranate Oil Anti-Aging Lipstick $29.00




I received two of these to try out, Calendula and Foxglove. Calendula is a nude peach. Foxglove is a light plum. What is so nice about these lipsticks is how super creamy and highly pigmented they are. These lipsticks are anti-aging, super moisturizing concentrated with pomegranate oil, shea butter and colored from fruite pigments to keep lips super soft and youthful. Anti-oxidant and vitamin packed too. Truly 100% pure. No synthetic chemicals, synthetic dyes, chemical preservatives or any other toxins in them. I really like the feel of them on my lips, they stay on a long time too. These are very nice lipsticks to have. All of the colors are very natural and pretty.











 (above: on the left I am wearing Calendula and on the right I am wearing Foxglove)




These are beautiful lipglosses. They have sheer pops of color from fruit pigments and glimmer from semi precious stones that give lips a gorgeous sparkle. They are only slightly sticky and look amazing on the lips. I was able to try out Crystal and Rainbow Aura. Crystal is a sheer, very light pink and Rainbow Aura is a medium berry pink with shimmery multicolored crystals in it. I love the way they look on the lips too. For this kind of gloss you get pretty good wear too.




(on the left I am wearing Crystal and on the right I am wearing Rainbow Aura)




Lip Caramel has much more pigment than Gemmed Lip Gloss. These are intensely saturated, gorgeous colors that come from fruits, roots and achiote seeds rich in pigments. All in a base of lip softening pomegranate oil and cocoa butter. For those who desire gorgeous rich fruit pigmented neutral or intense color with a high shine finish, these are for you. The best way to wear them is to apply to clean lips. Reapply to intensify color as needed. I was able to try out two colors: Rum Nougat and Red Velvet. Let me tell you, they are beautiful on. Rum Nougat is a gorgeous light brownish pink and Red Velvet is an intense, bright red. 

I love wearing these because they are so similar to lipstick but with a lighter feel. You get all the benefits of wearing a lipstick but in a lighter form. It is also similar to a gloss but with more pigment. So it is a cross between a lipstick and a gloss. 



(above I am wearing Lip Caramel in Red Velvet on the left and Rum Nougat on the Right)


So there you have it. 100% PURE is 100% great. Their products are amazing. I am very happy with the eye cream, eye mask and the makeup that I tried. So happy in fact that I do plan to keep on wearing it and I would like to order some things. I did not think I was going to be so happy with what I received. I do think you should take a look at what they have as it is phenomenal. Their products are vegan, and cruelty free.

    Review: SNAP Perfume #SNAP #fragrance #perfume #deodorant #bodyspray #scents

    (product photos courtesy of www.snapperfume.com)


    Recently I had the opportunity to try out a completely new kind of product.It is a perfume (Eau de Toilette) in a small container that resembles a throw away camera. The product is called SNAP Perfume.They have three fragrances for women and I tried two of them, SNAP 1 and SNAP 88. They have three fragrances for men. And, they make body spray deodorant in the scents they have. Read below to learn about SNAP fragrances.

     SNAP /1 FOR HER resembles the fragrance of love when it is fresh and new. It is an enticing elixir that awakens the senses and releases the spirit of sheer joy. It is captivating. It is all about love and happiness and that is all that matters. It is a fragrance for her when she is in love. 

    The key notes to this fragrance are zesty fruits and florals that remain constant throughout the scent. It is softened with a subtle top note of apple, peach,orange and plum. The heart of the scent is rose, gardenia, jasmine and orchid, combined with a base of white musk, that come together to create a high quality, lasting fragrance. The pyramid of the fragrance is such:

    Top Note Releasing the spirit of joy
    Tunisian Orange and Italian Mandarin infused with a sweet rich fruit zest.

    Heart Note Sensual union
    Parisian Rose, Gardenia, and Wild Orchid.

    Base Note Warmth and power
    Elegant White Musk and Hearty Cedarwood.

    The bottle design captures the spirit of the fragrance with a variation of pink hues combined with a metallic luster and a white embossed SNAP logo. The splashes of color represent the fresh identity of the sweet fragrance.

    SNAP also has a deodorant line that features the same scent as the EDT collection. The small effective body sprays come with a mist of perfectly blended fragrances that leave you with an unforgettable sensational lasting impression.

    This fragrance is one of my favorites. It is light but has a beautiful floral finish. I love how long the scent lasts on me. It lasts for hours! The scents are not too heavy but they are so cute. I am interested in trying out the body sprays too.


     SNAP /88 FOR HER is a little bit different than the other one. It was created for a women who is enthusiastic and full of life. It is a scent that is exciting yet delicate, an arrangement of scents that is alluring, sweet and playful. 

    This scent is vibrant and contains a combination of  citrus and floral to create the tender and mellow feeling constant throughout the scent. Balanced with a subtle top note of peach,melon, lemon and grapefruit. This fragrance's heart not of lily of the valley, gardenia, jasmine and orchid married with a base of white musk, Tonka and sandalwood come together to create a highly intriguing fragrance.

    The pyramid of the fragrance is such:

    Top Note Fresh citrus
    Blood Orange, Sorrento Lemon and Japanese Ouzo

    Heart Note Exotic floral nature
    African Violet, Jasmine Essence, and Osmanthus

    Base Note Lyrical combination
    Brazilian Tonka, East Indian  Sandalwood and Hearty Cedarwood


    The bottle design poses the harmonious union of the waves of delicate scents that are united within the bottle. There is a cascading a pattern of purple movement and emboldened silvery SNAP logo. 

    The deodorant line features the same scent of the SNAP EDT collection.The small but effective body sprays mist perfectly blended fragrances that leave you with unforgettable sensational lasting impressions. 
    This scent is heavier, more of an oriental, woodsy fragrance. I like it butr it is not as light and airy as SNAP/1 FOR HER. That one is still my favorite. This one is definitely harder to wear, as it can set off my migraines.

    SNAP Perfumes are available through www.snapperfume.com or on www.amazon.com

    Until Next Time ~

    This serum is truly a great experience.  It exfoliates with lactic acid. it gets rid of hyperpigmenation with licorice extract. Seaweed detoxifies the skin, it increases skin oxygen consumption and boosts anti-oxidant defense. Argan oil hydrates and moisturizes the skin, and helps with the elasticity of the skin.  Gotu Kola lessens the appearance of scars and increases the firmness of the skin. The serum renews texture and tone, it deeply moisturizes the skin, it minimizes fine lines ,it increaes elasticity of the skin, it brightens the skin and evens out hyperpigmentation. The ingredients above were chosen especially for this serum to achieve optimum results so that this serum would work to its maximum ability. 

    To achieve the best results with this serum, apply 1-2 pumps to face and decolletage each evening after thoroughly cleansing skin. After it absorbs completely, apply the Royal Rose Serum, then a moisturizer and an eye product of choice. 







     

    Review: OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer #OzNaturals #Retinol #Moisturizer



    (product photo provided by www.brandbacker.com)

    Oz Naturals" target="_blank">Oz Naturals, this is a newer skincare company that sells mainly on Amazon but is one of their best-selling skincare product companies. You will see why. Co-Founder and Certified Esthetician, Angela Irish launched Oz Naturals as a company that embodies everything she's passionate about, healthy skin, anti-aging, natural ingredients, and utilizing the latest technology to formulate the highest quality skin care products on the market. Her products are all natural and embody some of the best that are on the market today. She has some great retinol products, of which one I will review below.

    OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer is one of those products that you end up loving more than you thought you would. It is all natural, cruelty free and made in the United States. It contains 2.5% retinol, more than most creams and serums contain (which is usually 1%). So, it works better on your skin than those cream and serums and it works quickly. This cream also contains Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E and Shea Butter. The product also contains a great number of other botanicals: green tea, chamomile, aloe vera, rose hips, blueberry extract, cranberry extract, acai berry extract, Vitamin A, sweet almond oil, macadamia nut oil, mango seed butter, pomegranate seed oil and raspberry seed oil. All of these help make up a cream so rich in botanical extracts that it really is a super youth moisturizer. It is an all around great cream for helping to be an anti-aging miracle cream. It diminishes the signs of aging which nourishing the skin with potent ingredients to help keep skin super soft and supple. What is great is that is also comes in a 4 fl.oz./188 mL size, so you really get your money's worth. 

    This formula is great for all skin types, except those with ultra acneic skins. But is is really good for those with dry and mature skins. I use it at night after all of my serums and it sinks right into the skin. It is not heavy, nor is it greasy. I would recommend using this at night but it can be used morning and night. If used in the morning, make sure to use a SPF 30 or higher while using this cream, as it will induce sun sensitivity. It is imperative that you use a sunscreen during the day while using a retinol product anyway, as retinol causes skin to become more sensitive to the sun. It would undo all of the anti-aging that you have done if you don't wear a sunscreen during the day. I found that with this cream my hyperpigmentation lessened and I noticed that my skin texture was evened out. I also noticed that my skin had more of a glow to it. Overall my skin looked better than prior to using this product. Therefore I will continue to use it.

    OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer retails for $27.49 on www.amazon.com. To me, it is one of the best OZ Naturals products I have ever tried, and I have tried many of them. I like this formula and that this product is more of a professional product. it is their anti-aging powerhouse. See www.amazon.com for more products bOz Naturals.

    Review: Kat Von D Lock-It Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer #KatVonD #eyeshadowprimer #primer

    (photos courtesy of www.sephora.com)


    Kat Von D Lock-It Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer




    This spring Kat Von D came out with some great basic items that should be in every persons makeup kit. One of the items is a Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer. The primer comes in 5 shades, I tried Fair and Light. It also comes in Medium, Tan and Deep. What is so great about this primer is that it color corrects the lid according to skintone, creating a smooth even base for your most wonderful, audacious eye looks. 

    It is the first primer to feature 5 shades that target discoloration and smooth the appearance of imperfections according to skintone. Unlike one-shade-fits-all primers, this formula color corrects your specific skintone to neutralize lids so that you can show off super-saturated, true color payoff. It comes in an easy-to-use twist stick, this primer features 16 hour wear and multi faceted color correcting pigments for a smooth, even canvas that keeps eye looks in place while keeping them vibrant. Eye shadow applied pure and true, color payoff is intensified and eye looks stay fade-proof and crease-proof for long-lasting wear. There are no parabens, sulfates or phthalates in this formula. This product was not tested on animals.

    Artist tip: Apply Lock-It Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer along the lower lash lineto prep for a smoky eye look. Extending the primer from your lower lid down to the lower lash line ensures that shadow and liner stay locked in place. 

    In a consumer study on 30 volunteers, here is what they found out about the primer:
    • 100% agreed that this product stayed on their eyelids at least 8 hours.
    • 100% of users agreet his product has a lightweight feel on the skin.
    • 100% of users agree this product is easy to apply.
    • 96% agreed that this product applied smoothly.
    • 93% of users agreed this product prevented their eye makeup from creasing throughout the day.
    • 90% agree this product even sthe skin tone of their eyelids
    • 90% agreed this product kept their eye makeup fresh and radiant through the day.
    • 86% of users felt this product helped their eye makeup stayed in place all day.
    Below you will see a photo of the two colors I tried out:


    (above, left to right: Lock-It Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer in Fair and Light) 

    I really like this primer. The color correcting benefits are incidental to me. I just love how well it works as a primer. It does a great job of letting my eyeshadow stay on all day long without creasing. I don't really need color correction so much, as my eyes are okay. I have some veins that show up in them but the eyeshadow hides them. This primer is as good at Urban Decay's primer, and yes I went there! I have never had a bad Kat Von D product though. All of her products are amazing!

    Kat Von D Lock-It Color Correcting Eyeshadow Primer retails for $25.00. It is available online at www.sephora.com and www.katvondbeauty.com.

    Review: Surya Brasil Color Fixation Shampoo & Color Fixation Conditioner #SuryaBrasil #ColorFixation #shampoo #conditioner

    (product photos courtesy of www.suryabrasilproducts.com)

    Surya Brasil is a line from Brasil that makes a variety of products for hair, body and face. Their line is natural and vegan. They pride themselves on making products with the finest ingredients from the Amazonian Rainforest and products that actually work.

    Surya Brasil Color Fixation Restorative Shampoo 8.45 fl.oz./250 mL $13.99

    This 100% vegan shampoo is great for daily use. It is for color treated h air (which qualifies my hair). Excellent to help restore health to damaged or colored hair. It contains mild surfactants (detergents) that are derived form coconuts to help maintain the integrity of the hair color through a gentle cleansing action.
    Cupuaçu seed butter and buriti fruit oil from the Amazonian Rainforest provide the hair with nourishing vitamins and oils to condition the hair. This shampoo is best used with The Surya Brasil Color Fixation Restorative Conditioner and after coloring hair with Surya Brasil Natural Henna color.

    I like that this helps to keep my color from fading and helps to keep my hair from feeling like straw. Even just using the shampoo itself, my hair feels great afterwards, not dry and tangled up. It feels soft and almost as it I could go without conditioner. Of course, I would always use the conditioner. I would never forgo that!


    Surya Brasil Color Fixation Restorative Conditioner 8.45 fl.oz./250 mL $13.99


    The conditioner is alos 100% vegan. It contains a heavy concentration of moisturizing botanical and nut ingredients, such as Brazil nut, jasmine, chamomile and arnica (to name a few). These restore brilliance and vitality to damaged and colored hair. Rice proteins reconstruct damaged hair strands by forming a hydrating fill that fills in the cuticle. Amazonian buriti oil and
    cupuaçu butter protect the strands from UV rays, extending the life of hair color. Natural fatty acids provide nourishment to repair dry,split ends. Use this together with Surya Brasil Color Fixation Restorative Shampoo and after coloring hair with Surya Brasil Natural Henna color.

    For me, this conditioner is a god send. It really helps to give hair a great treatment, leaving hair feeling soft and supple, voluminous, and not in the least bit dry. Hair feels renewed and the color stays without fading. I like this conditioner a lot. so much that wish it came in a larger size. I could go through this in a week or two because I have so much hair. I apply a lot of it in the shower after shampooing then let it sit until I am done and rinse it off. That is how I get my best results. 

    Surya Brasil has a lot of different products that are for hair, skin and even nails. Take a look at their website to see all  of their diversified product list. You may order from www.suryabrasilproducts.com. They also donate to the Environmental Defense Fund. A good number of their ingredients come from the Amazonian Rainforest too. The Henna products are nice for coloring hair. I did use one of the Henna Cream Color products and reviewed one of them, (http://bit.ly/1ZYIbCP). I think you will like the line, I know I am very happy with it. 

    Until Next Time~

    Review: PurErb Vitality Deep Cleansing Oil & Serenity Calming Facial Oil #PurErb #VitalityDeepCleansingOil #SerenityCalmingFacialOil #facialoil

    (product photos courtesy of www.purerbskincare.com)

    PurErb is a line that bases itself off of herbology. They use Meridian facial massage with their products to help get the best out of the aromatherapeutic blends that have been made with the herbologists/aromatherapists. It enhances inner and outer well being. Each PurErb proprietary formula contains authentic, 100% pure botanical extracts and aromatic vegetal oils and butters. PurErb products do not contain gluten, parabens, sulfates, glycols, or artificial fragrances. Meridian theory dates back to 3rd century BC and focuses on improving Qi, the body's own natural flow of energy. Meridian facial massage helps to diminish physical signs of stress and energy imbalance, opening the path to improved beauty and improved overall health.
     


    Vitality Deep Cleansing Oil 1 fl.oz./30 mL $9.00  6 fl.oz./180 mL $32.00

    This luxurious rinse-off cleanser is oil based and dissolves makeup, dirt, debris, pollution and grime. It washes all of that away, leaving skin feeling soft and supple. It prevents dehydration, excess sebum production, leaving skin refreshed, smooth and downright radiant. The moisturizing formula features 15 exotic botanical ingredients including Abyssinian, Moringa, Geranium, Kukui, Frankincense and Sacha Inchi oils. Surface impurities are washed away, leaving nothing but soft, smooth skin. The natural moisture barrier of the skin is protected because this is an oil based cleanser and it helps to keep sebum regulation in check. It leaves skin hydrated and well moisturized.

    To use: apply oil onto a dry face. Massage around face to gently release impurities, makeup, etc. Wet face to activate the oil and gently massage over face. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Do not try to use tissue to remove the oil, only water and a cloth. 




    Serenity Calming Face Oil .3 fl.oz./9 mL $28.00  1fl. oz./30mL $75.00
    This calming facial oil is a multi-layered facial potion that nurtures the skin with sensuous oils that include Baobab, Marula, Bulgarian Rose, Helichrysum, Sandalwood and Lavender. It absorbs into the skin quickly to moisturize and soften the skin. It nourishes and calms stressed skin. The ethereal floral notes promote relaxation, so it's perfect for a facial or just to massage onto the face after cleansing to help relax yourself and your skin. It also helps to soothe mental and emotional distress. This oil is so soothing to the skin. It is great for all skin types and is very helpful for when you need something that is relaxing to the skin and to the soul.
    After cleansing face and toning, dispense a small amount of oil onto fingertips. Rub fingertips together to warm the oil. Then gently massage oil onto the face and neck. Enjoy the scent, as it wafts up into the nose. You will notice how much more relaxed you become because of the scent. 

    I like both of the PurErb products I tested out. I really like the Serenity Calming Facial Oil, as it goes on and feels so calming. The scent is intoxicating. Just a few drops on the face over a serum or two and you have yourself a nice facial oil that helps to calm irritations, calm stressed out skin, and helps to moisturize dry skin. The Cleansing Oil is also very nice. It does take a little bit of getting used to, but once you get used to it, cleansing with oil is a breeze. Skin is left soft and supple and it feels very clean. In no way does it feel gritty or grimy, as you would think with using oils. 

    PurErb is available online at www.purerbskincare.com. They have many different types of products to try out: facial balms, exfoliants, other cleansers, moisturizers, more facial oils and essential oils. The site discusses what Meridian Oils are, what Meridian massage is and there is a video to show you everything. Give PurErb a try, you will not regret it.

    Until Next Time~
