InstaNatural's Dead Sea Mud Mask + Retinol Serum + Retinol Moisturizer: Detoxify, Restore and Repair

Hello My Gorgeous Ones!,


Minerals, minerals! Yes..Dead Sea Salt..it's all of the rage in the Beauty World due
to the fact that it is used for detoxification of the skin...toxins, allergens and who knows
what else, that live & roost in the epidermal layers of our skin, leaving us tired, ill, sore
and feeling just plain-out funky..These buggers are, by no means, easy to remove from
our internal bodies let alone from our skin..That's where the salt comes in...


In collaboration with InstaNatural Skincare, I proudly present the following 3 products:
Mineral-Infused Dead Sea Mud Mask, Age-Defying Retinol Serum and Advanced Action
Retinol Moisturizer..

And...





My skin was happy, especially after using the Dead Sea Mud Mask, which did me a
world of good, due to the fact the I have a serious acne issue as a result of having
extremely oily skin. The Retinol Serum helped repair my skin from left-over acne
scarring & the Retinol Moisturizer re-hydrated my skin, which is well needed after
using my acne treatments. All 3 of these products are definite 5-Star products! If

Adovia Mineral Skin Care's Dead Sea Bath Salts: Regenerate yourself in a Mineral Rich Bath Soak!

Hello My Darlings!,


I must confess, I've never been one to shy away from a bubble bath but I usually
am at a loss of time to indulge myself in such luxuries..the warmth of the water..
the leisurely soaking amongst a bevy of bubbles..it's a little too good to be true at
times..And then there comes the moments when a bubble-free soak is in order but
yet again, I've always deprived myself until recently..that's when I happened upon
what I consider the epitome of a luxurious, bubble-free soak that makes me feel
brand new ..Impossible you say?, well allow me to enlighten you.....


In collaboration with Adovia Mineral Skin Care, I present 100% Dead Sea Bath Salts..


Product: 100% Dead Sea Bath Salt
(Photo;Right)

Pros:
Made of 100% Dead Sea Salt, contains 26
trace amounts of minerals such as Calcium,
Potassium and Magnesium. Fast-dissolving,
helps alleviate the effects of skin conditions
such as eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis by
drawing toxins out of the skin. Helps soothe
aching muscles & helps to lower blood pressure.
Softens skin & reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Safe for all skin types/Sensitive skin


Cons: None


Price: $24.00* - 10 lb bag
*On Sale

Where to Buy: http://www.adoviaspa.com/dead-sea-bath-salts-10-pounds/


Usage/Product:
(See pic below)




Add 2-4 tablespoons to warm bathwater. I suggest soaking for a good 15-20 mins
in order to get the best results. Use 2-3 times per week for the maximum benefits.


My Final Verdict:

I fell in love with this product on the first use. I have eczema so I know the horrible
discomfort of a skin condition all too well, but this product really helped alleviate
the itching & etc that accompany a flare-up. My skin was left soft & my muscles felt
100% better. Actually I felt 100% better all of the way around after soaking in this
for the first time and I felt even better after the second use..5-Stars all the way, a truly
awesome product indeed. If you would like to grab some of this for yourself or if you

Hello My Lovelies!,

This one is a first..Many of us have heard of dermabrasion & exfoliation..but
a roller that can refinish the surface of our skin?! Unheard of you say?! Well I said
the same until I came across this wonder wheel..Hang on to yourself because I'm
about to enlighten you..

In collaboration with Petunia Skincare, I present to you the 1.0mm Derma Roller
with Anti-Aging Serum and Eye Serum..

Products #1-#3: Derma Roller + Anti-Aging Serum + Eye Serum
(Photo;Below)







Product #1 Pros:
(Photo;Right)

thereby greatly reducing the appearance of wrinkles/fine
lines, aids in the reduction of enlarged pores and  also
helps improve the appearance of scars due to acne,
hyper-pigmentation & etc. Helps tighten/smooth the
skin's surface.


Cons: It can feel pokey, so if you're ultra-sensitive to prickly
pain then I might not suggest this..My opinion


My Verdict: It was a prickly experience, but since my tolerance
on the Pain Index is extremely high, I took it like a champ!


Price: $18.77

Where to Buy:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KLA4INE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Website:http://petuniaskincare.com/



Usage:
**USE BEFORE BEDTIME ONLY**<---I strongly suggest this with
the reason being that your skin repairs itself best when you're asleep.

Thoroughly wash your face BEFORE using the Derma Roller!
Leave skin slightly damp & then roll away in all directions &
AVOID THE EYES!! Follow by using Product #2 & #3.


Product #2

Product #1











Product #3





And now...


No photoshop was used on this pic, I only changed to B/W due to the hideous
colored hue from my pink bathroom.



Now, I'm gonna be honest..I wasn't exactly thrilled at the idea of a roller with needles
even getting close to my face but after using this product along with the other 2, I had
a change of heart. I had some slight scarring due to the severity of my acne & I also get
the occasional dark spots left behind but I was amazed at how well the Derma Roller
worked after 2 uses. A 5-star product in it's effectiveness/results..Variable on the Pain
Scale Rating for me-as I said, my tolerance to pain is extremely high, so therefore I  had
to enlist the opinion of my mother (who's tolerance to pain is very low) to use/rate this
product as far as pain/effectiveness which produces the visible results..


Mom's Rating (on a Scale of 1-10, with 1 being the least & 10 being the worst)

Pain: 4

Effectiveness/Visible Results-10+ (saw major results after the 1st use)

Times Used: 2

So is beauty supposed to hurt?!..Uh..it depends on whether or not it will actually
help your skin, and in this case it most certainly did for the both of us. So if you
would like to purchase any/all of these products for yourself, copy/paste the link
in the 'Where to Buy' section of this review or to find out more about Petunia
Skincare and all of the other fine products they have to offer, just copy/paste the

Petunia Skincare's Professional 12 Pc Makeup Brush Kit: Enhance the way you apply your 'Face'!

Hello My Dearest Ones!,


Now we all know that it's already a chore to apply our makeup & make it look good but
have you ever thought about the way we actually put it on our faces?!..We use our hands,
fingers, sponge applicators that come in the makeup products...I'll be the first to admit it,
I wasn't always a pro at putting on my makeup, especially my eye shadow..

I utilized what I had on hand..the sponge applicator that came in the package, which was
not always cooperative when I needed it to be..but up until 5 yrs ago, the only makeup
brushes I owned were a blush brush and an eyeliner brush..But then I discovered just how
much makeup brushes needed to become part of my routine in order for me to create
precision looks & then it happened..I invested in my first set..and I can now say, that's
when it all took a tumble down the rabbit hole....



In collaboration with Petunia Skincare, I present The Professional 12-pc Makeup
Brush Set....

InstaNatural's Youth Express Line- Eye Gel, Eye Serum, Night Cream: The Triple Threat Dream Team

Hello My Dearest Ones!,


Wouldn't it be great to find the proverbial 'Youth in a Bottle'?! The catch-all answer to
the dreaded woes of aging..well, sometimes the bottle of youth doesn't always come in
1 bottle, sometimes it may come in several bottles..like..3 or more bottles lol..Anyways,
my Serum journey is by no means over and neither is my 'trial-and-error' testing so now
that I have new products to inform you about, allow me to introduce what I call, my
Dream Team..I say this because these 3 do their best work at night while you're asleep..
So without further delay..


In collaboration with InstaNatural Skincare, I proudly present the following products
from the Youth Express Line-Eye Gel, Eye Serum, Night Cream..



Product #1: Youth Express Eye Gel

before applying moisturizer/makeup.

Kojic Acid, Vitamin C and Vitamin E that blend
together to fight the signs of aging in the eye area
such as sagging/puffiness, dark circles, fine lines/wrinkles.

Cons: None


Price: $21.95 - 1 Fl. Oz Bottle

These 3 products worked fabulously, and they worked the best when I used them
before I went to bed! The Eye Gel gave a cooling sensation, which worked wonders
for my puffy eyes, which happens quite frequently due to my allergies. The Eye
Serum helped rid my eyes of any dark circles and the Night Cream was absolutely
awesome for my face, especially when my skin gets dried out from the acne treatment
products that I use because of my having very oily/acne prone skin.

My face never got excessive oil build-up because this Night Cream absorbs into the
skin immediately. 5-Star products without a doubt! If you would like to find out more

Azure Naturals Ultimate Retinol Serum: Experience the power of Retinol

Hello My Dearest Ones!,


Yes, I am at it again..the good ol' 'trial-and-error' test is on again and it's as sweet as can
be..Since Retinol is a necessary component to skin cell maintenance/regeneration and
given that it's also a major factor in maintaining our vision, then our faces should rejoice
in it's effects..(Happy Dance)..So without further adu, let's get on with the show..



In collaboration with Azure Naturals, I present to you Ultimate Retinol Anti-Wrinkle
Serum..



Product: Ultimate Retinol Anti-Wrinkle Serum
(Photo;Right)


Pros:
Contains Botanical Herbal Infusion, Hyaluronic Acid,
Vitamin E, Retinol 2.5% ,and Organic Aloe & Jojoba Oils
work together to go deep into the skin's epidermal
layer to regenerate/rejuvenate the skin's surface by
plumping fine lines/wrinkles & tightening the skin.
Suitable for all skin types/sensitive skin.




Cons: None



Price: $24.95 -1 Fl. Oz Bottle

Where to Buy:http://www.azurenaturals.com/collections/ultimate-facial-serums/products/ultimate-retinol-anti-wrinkle-serum



My Verdict: Love It! My skin felt soft, firmed & refreshed.




Usage:

Apply to freshly washed face. Pat dry and
apply a small amount* of this product to
the face/neck. Allow skin to fully dry before
applying a moisturizer or makeup.


*Note:
Using too much of this product on at once
can make your skin sore so use sparingly-
the amount pictured on the right is enough
for your entire face, if using on the neck
area as well, use the same amount pictured.


And finally...






This product worked well but as I stated in the *note in the "Usage" section, it can
make your skin sore because Retinol has powerful tightening properties so be careful
about the amount that you use at one time. My skin was left firm and supple with a
cooling sensation. It is a 5-Star product when used correctly. If you would like to find
