Maui Jim Kahoma

Maui Jim Kahoma in Honey tortoise

maui jim

As you all know I love My Maui Jim sun glasses in the summer.  But there is one time when I need them even more it’s in the winter.  With the glare from the snow I can go from happy to headache in less than 10 seconds.   A lot of people think about new sunglass in the summer when it’s hot, bright and sunny and yes you do need them in the summer but they are just as important if not more important in the winter.   The glare in the summer is very noticeable and the rays are very harmful to your eye’s (not to mention your head) but in the winter most people do not seem to notice the glare and rays till it is too late.

Maui Jim has one of the biggest collections of styles I have seen.   They can have prescription lenses put into most styles and they are polarized.    I did not know how much polarized made a difference till my first pair of Maui Jims now I could not live without them.   The glasses I picked are called Kahoma in Honey tortoise.  When I saw these I fell instantly in love.  The honey color is so unique and the shape was perfect.   You can get these with your prescription in them which is perfect. My mom only buys from Maui Jim, because she can get a great style with her prescription.   The Kahoma were inspired by Kahoma Valley on West Maui, this land is home to lush, tropical landscapes.  Every time I put these on I get a sense of relaxation I not only love the way they look they are comfy to wear for hours.  They don’t hurt my nose or my ears.  Every time I try Maui Jim sunglasses I fall more and more in love with them.  I have tried 100’s of sun glasses and Maui Jim is still by far my #1.

I would also like to note that if your glasses are ever scratched or shattered, as you can see hubby did you can head to their web site for info on how to send them in and price list to fix them.  Such a great offer and look how great a job they did.  Hubbys sun glasses are better than new and he is the happiest camper in the world to have his favorite sun glasses back.

Premier Dead Sea

                                                Premier Dead Sea

I got the chance to try out the Miracle Mask Nior and I am in love.

october 2013 reviews 023

    When I first got this mask the first thing I noticed was the beautiful packaging from the box the container came in to the beautiful bottle it really had a beautiful and unique design.   This was the first time I have used a mask of this quality and I was in love.   I was very surprised when I started reading the directions it was talking about using the stone.  I could not help but laugh a little what is a stone for? After reading a little more it became clear it’s to take off the mask.  This was now very intriguing to me.  So I put in the facemask and was instantly surprised on how good it smelled did not smell like mud at all.  I waited my ten minutes and got my stone out and wrapped it in tissue and started taking off the mask.  I can see why I need the stone know, otherwise the mask just stuck to your face and hands and soap would not help this.  The mask came right off in just a swipe.  I could also see all the other gross stuff that came off my face.  After I took it off and threw away the tissue just wash your face, I was truly amazed at how smooth my skin was and looked fantastic.   The Miracle Mask Retails for $249.99 and so worth it in my opinion my face is smooth and soft and my pours have never looked better.

SeaQuarius

SeaQuarius

I was given the chance to try out  the SeaQuarius face care system and loved it.

 

A little tid bit about me.  I grew up less than a mile from the beach.  I love the smell of it and my skin was never better with all that great sea air.  So when I got the chance to try out this great set of face cleansers, moisturizers and serum I was so excited.  All of the items had a great clean sea smell that reminded me of growing up on the beach.  This is a great company that was started from the Florida Keys so you know they know the ocean.

“They have been proven to increase skin cell turnover, intensely hydrate and deeply nourish to promote vibrant healthy skin “

 

The Cleanser

This one was wonderful it is a foaming cleanser which I love with having combination skin some time it is so hard to find a great cleanser that does not dry out my skin or make it oily.  This one worked great.  I was also very pleasantly surprised at how long it lasts.  I usually go through so much cleanser.  When I wear makeup I wash my face twice once to get the makeup off and again to actually clean the skin.   Doing this usually makes me go through so much cleanser I have to buy 2.  This one has so much in it there was no need to buy 2.

 

The serum

The serum is fantastic just soaked right into my face and did not leave it greasy at all.  My face still felt clean after I used it and I can tell the difference in my pours after using this great serum.

The lotion.

This one I was very curious about. With having combination skin I tend to usually get greasy in spots or have dry spots on my face.  This was a great lotion to use.  I did not get greasy at all and the dry spots that I did have usually on my forehead went away.  It left my skin feeling clean and smooth.

This is not only a great product but a great company I would recommend them to everyone.

Mineral Concealer

Advanced Mineral Perfecting Concealer

I got the chance to try out the perfecting concealer and loved it.

This great concealer is 100% vegan with grapeseed oil, vitamin e, Shea butter and hyaluronic acid.   A great concealer will help you with dark circles, and puffiness.  This concealer really did it also helped out with the red spots I had on my face.  One of my biggest problems when putting on makeup is I always have very dark circles under my eyes and they are hard to hide.  When I tried this one I was instantly in love. It covered up the circles without leaving it looking like I had a ton of makeup under my eyes.   Just left a clean flawless look, at least under my eyes the rest of my face is a whole other issue lol.

I was very excited when I found out that this concelear also would not clog my pores.  It is hard to find a makeup that not only makes your face look fantastic but also will not clog your pores.  I also loved how this concealer went on smooth and was a very light formula I did not feel as if I had tons of layers on my face, but it still covered everything.  A great concealer will be a little lighter than your skin to help with covering up the imperfections.  This way when you put your foundation on it will blend perfect with the rest of your skin.  This one was perfect 1 shade lighter then my skin so it helped cover up perfectly.   Advanced minerals not only makes a great concealer but they have a whole line of great products that I would love to try.

This is the picture with concealer and no foundation as you can see I had a lot to cover up. lol

After Picture With a light Powder Foundation over. Love how it looked.

a fun fact for you all Advanced Mineral Makeup is used on Grey’s Anatomy and NCIS because it is such a camera friendly makeup.  How cool is that.

I would recommend Advanced Mineral Perfecting concealer to everyone

BA Stardust

Ba Star stardust Diamond

I got the chance to try out the Ba Star star duct and love it.

BA Star had a great collection for your cheer team, dance team or of course just for you.  If you do have a team and you want their makeup to pop you have to check out Ba star.  I wish when I was in cheer and dance we knew about this we would so have all gotten it.  You can buy in bulk for your whole team or of course just make a custom kit for yourself.  This is not just a line for the teams it is also a great line for you to use yourself.  They have everything from great eye shadows, to blush, bronzer and more.  They also have fantastic prices.  Another great thing that I love is they do fundraising so if you’re looking for a great fundraiser you must check them out your team you sure to make a great profit out of this fundraiser.  If you get a chance also check out their rollie bags I love anything zebra print and these are cute and you can even add custom lanyards to match your team or your mood.  If your team is looking to try it don’t hesitate to contact them for a sample you will be in love.

You all know me the shiner the better and this eye shadow star dust really does shine and glitter.  It came with a primer for underneath and the glitter for on top and as you can see the shine is fantastic.  This was very easy to use just put on the primer and brush on the glitter and you are ready to go.  Due to the primer this also lasted a very long time.  There was no need to re apply or touch up it lasted all day long and the glitter did not get all over everything.   I love a great eye shadow and some great bling I love that these were both in one.  The BA star line is fantastic I think everyone should try it out with this price get a few to try out and flash up your look a little or a lot the choice with this one is all yours.

This is a fantastic product I would recommend to everyone

Natu

 

NATU

I got the chance to try out their fantastic hair products and loved them.

reviews 020

 

Natu was created to help eliminate chemicals and synthetics from your hair care regimen.   The first thing I notices about this product when I got it was the great packaging.  I have to admit in the past I have bought stuff just because how cute the bottle looked.  As you can see the bottle is beautiful.  When I first opened the bottle I was very excited by the smell of this great product.  The smell was like when you first walk into a 5 star spa.  Fresh and Floral and beautiful.  I was very excited by this great smell.  I have had so many hair products that were for color treated hair and when I opened them they smelled like you were treating your hair right then.  This was a beautiful smell I could not resist.

reviews 019

When I first used this great shampoo I was in love.  Not only was the smell wonderful the shampoo lathered like a dream.  It left my hair smelling and feeling fantastic.   The conditioner was thick and creamy and left my hair very easy to brush threw.  The silkening mist was wonderful.  Just a few sprays leave it on and your hair is silky and soft.  I have wavy thicker hair so sometimes it can look like I am a lion.  I loved this spray so easy to use just leave on and my hair was silky and soft with no effort at all.

reviews 001 I took this picture with no product at all. Normally of course it is all dont up but wanted you too see the shine I got with just the sparay and air drying.

 

All three of their products were wonderful.  I will be telling people about them for years to come.  I love when you find a great hair product that is not only checical free, but also works fantastic and smells wonderful.  They have a great line of hair products that will cover all your hair needs weather it is corse hair, color treated hair or fine limp hair.

Ageless Derma

                                               Ageless Derma Lip Polish Lady Slippers

I got the chance to try out the Ageless derma lip polish in color lady slippers and loved it.

 

As you know I am a lip stick / gloss junky.  I was so excited to try this one out.  This one was from one of their new collection of mineral cosmetics.  It has a hint of orange oil in it and comes in 12 different shades.   Ageless Derma is a doctor formulated line that caries everything from some great makeup to some great skin care products.  They have a full line for every need you may have at a very affordable price.  Their web site is very easy to use.  No searching and hunting for the one thing you are looking for.

When I first check out this lip polish I was surprised at how little the tub was.  But after using it I can see why it did not have to be that big.  A little went a very long way the picture you see above was after just one stroke of the brush.  It gave off not only a wonderful deep color but the shine was like nothing I have seen before.  This color also lasted for the whole night.  I ate all night long and of course had a soda and a bottle of water and it still lasted.  I was very impressed by this lip polish.  It glided on very easy, stayed on, and was not sticky at all.  I could also swear after I took it off my lips were more moist then when I had put it on.   This tube is going to last me a long time.  The lip polish is a must for any lip product lover.

 

I would recommend this product to everyone.

Forever Pure Beauty

Forever Pure Beauty

I got the chance to try out a few items from forever pure beauty and loved them.

I got the chance to try out three different items The Brazen Raisin lip gloss, the Finishing powder blush, and the Organic Toner. She also sent this wonderful compact that is just way to cute.  It is so hard these days to find some great organic makeup and especially toner so I was very excited to see how well they held up with my busy day but also with my sensitive skin.  This make up is 100% all natural and gluten free. They have some great products for everyone weather you have oily skin sensitive skin or dry skin they have a great product for you.  The first thing I noticed about their web site when I signed on was that customer happiness is their #1 goal.  This to me tells me that they not only make a great product but they will do everything they can to make sure you find the best product for their customers  I love to find a company that believe in their products so much they can make this their number one goal.  As we all know if customers are not happy no one is happy.

The first one I tried was the organic toner.  Let me tell you I am a toner lover could not live without it.  No matter how many times I was my face I use a little toner and am amazed every time how much more stuff comes off my skin.  I was very cereous to see how an organic toner would work this was my first time using it.  I absolutely loved it.  It worked wonderful on my skin.  I had no reaction and it was nice knowing that I was not using any harmful chemicals on my face.  One other thing that I loved about this toner is it came with a spray top.  I have always used the ones you just pour out onto the cotton poof.  This was a nice surprise just 2-3 squirts and I had all I needed.  I did not waste a bit and this will make my toner last a lot longer.  LOVED IT

The second one I tried was the lip glass in Brazen Raisin.  As you all know I am a lip gloss lover and this one not only had a fantastic color was went on smooth and was not sticky at all.  Their lip gloss is 100% gluten free and made with a citrus oil to give you just a hint of flavor.  Want to make your lips really pop try using a great lipstick like their Dragon fruit or twisted papaya and use this great gloss on the inside of your lips for a great color.

 

The third one I tried was the Finishing powder blush.  A great finishing powder will not only give you a natural glow but will help your pours look smaller and even out your skin tones.  This one was not only did all this but also a great color and had a great top on it when you opened it up they had a easy way for you to get some out to use but to not over use it.  See picture below.  This gave my skin a great glow while also being very light so it did not feel like I was wearing layer over layer on my face.

I loved all three of these products and would not hesitate to recommend any of their products to everyone.

Redapple Lipstick

 

Red Apple Lip Stick    Red Lipstick Review

I got the chance to try out some of Red Apple Lip Sticks in Red and I am in love.

As most of you know I am a lipstick lover.  It can not only help you look and feel your best but can instantly change your mood.  In this day and age there are red lipsticks everywhere but to find a fantastic vibrant one is hard to do. I bought one once that look fabulous but when I put it on it actually went on hot pink.  I have no idea how it could look bright red and go on hot pink but if you have seen my coloring that one just does not match.  The great thing about a really good red lipstick is it matches everyone’s skin.  With red apple lip stick they have wonderful colors that go on smooth and even better feel smooth on your lips.  Red apple lip stick is gluten free and was made with care.

I got the chance to try out the

Mint to be gloss in Queen of Hearts

I am in love with not only the color but with the minty flavor gave my lips a tingly feeling I love.

Lipstick in strawberry

This is a great deep red strawberry color that almost matched my lip color so it gave me a natural look for me and game me a finished look

Lipstick in Ravishing

This is a little bit browner red gave me a great red look with a brown tint.

Lipstick in RED!

What can I say about this one the name says it all Red and perfect.

This was a great company that was originally created to make the best red lipstick out there. When this was all coming together he met a woman who was gluten intolerant and could not wear makeup.  Thus the company that was made for the best red lipstick now became the safest lipstick.

I have looked far and wide to find to find a great red lip stick and I am so happy I have found Red apple.   I love that I now have a great red lipstick to go with my great outfits.  I don’t dress down often (by this I mean natural colors) but when I have to I love that I have a great lipstick that will pop.  This really does change my mood.  When I know my makeup looks good I feel good.  You can buy most red apple lipstick colors for about $23.50.  But make sure you sign up for their news letter you will get 10% every month and you will get to see when their new colors come out (they sell out quick) and when they have a great sales going on.

This is a great company with a great product I would recommend to everyone

Nutra Lift

Nutra Lift Maximun C Serum Review

I got the chance to try out the Nutra Lift Maximum C Serum and loved it.

Nutra Lift has a whole line of great skin care from toners, to cleansers to serums and more.   All of their products are hypoallergenic made for all skin types and will not clog pores and organic.  The Maximum c serum will energize, tighten, brighten protect and nourish your skin.  This serum is also a Dr.Oz essential to health and beauty. Nutra Lift serum will also help your skin feel tighter and soother. This will also help with aging and tired skin.

This serum has a great fresh scent of citrus.  Also very easy to use after you use you none soap cleanser (see review here) then just apply the serum 2 times a day.  Of course for most of us this means once in the morning and once at night.  I could tell the difference the first time I used it not only did it soak right into my skin no oily feeling at all but it left my skin feeling tighter after just the first use.  I used this great serum for over 2 weeks and the bottle is still over ½ way full.  The bottle is a great pump bottle so no need to stick your fingers into a huge container wasting most of it and transferring bacteria.   I was very impressed with this great serum my face feels tighter smoother and my pores have never looked better.

I would recommend this product to everyone.
