Northern Star Polish; Sleepy Kitty and Inconcievable

Hello lovlies!

Today I am featuring yet again the always fabulous Northern Star Polish. The maker is one of the nicest I have befriended and always gets an A+++ in customer service from me :) 

I am featuring two of her current polishes. Initially I intended to include a third that was not sent to me for review, however it is no longer available so it will probably end up in a manicure post instead of here :) 

Sleepy Kitty is a glitter topper that contains matte silver diamonds, medium sized hexes and micro hexes. Hot pink mini matte squares and holo light pink butterflies, holo silver hexes , irredescent micro glitters and some medium sized holo squares. Did I miss a few? Probably. I love how diverse the variety of glitters included in this glitter topper are. It is a little thick and I kinda wish there were a few more butterflies so I would have an easier time of getting them onto my nails. In the photos I believe I am wearing about two coats. The density of glitter is pretty in between. It is definitely not meant to be worn on its own as an opaque glitter polish. I am wearing OPI Skull and Glossbones underneath Sleepy Kitty.  (Disregard the strange coloration of my fingers in the photos. I have been washing dishes by hand and my skin is reacting weird to it)













Inconceivable is a really beautiful dusty blue jelly. It is pretty opaque in three coats and dries pretty nicely too. I love the dimension you get from the multiple layers and pretty gold glitter (squares). There is less to say about this one only because it is less technical. I can list a million kinds of glitter... or just show photos :)







They are super gorgeous! 

Northern Star Polish goes for either $8.50 for a full sized (15ml)  or $5.50 for an 9ml size (a medium mini). 

I love how easy to apply both of these polishes are. Check out these and lots more beauties at Northern Star Polish on Etsy

HBL Shine and Seal System

Hello Everyone :D

I am not a HUGE fan of expensive shampoos and conditioners. They never seem to be as insanely amazing as I want them to be.

   However, HBL is the first to exceed my expectations! I received the package from the company and ripped it open, running with the bottles to the bathroom so I could wash my hair. I used "the proper amount" of shampoo and conditioner, something I never ever do because I tend to be wasteful with drugstore shampoos because... I don't know..it makes my hair feel softer? Point is, I was able to get the same amount of lather from the quarter sized amount suggested than my usual way too much. 

I love that just from using the whole Shine and Seal system, no other additional products, my hair was straight, shiny and looked like I had spent a lot of time ironing it. 

The scent of the collection is really wonderful, light but lasted through the three days I wait to wash my hair. It seriously smelled the same when I went to wash my hair as the first day :D 

I really love the thick lather and super concentrated conditioning that I get from the two products. The serum was also really wonderful! It smelled just as wonderful and was very concentrated. I used a very small amount of serum, a few drops, on my hair while damp.  Once my hair had air dried I added a drop or two more from the ends up to minimize frizz in the crazy humidity of Florida. 

It is a bit pricey but in reality, at least for myself, I will be able to use it for much longer than a similarly sized bottle of Nexxus or drugstore brand shampoo and conditioner set.

I would recommend it to anyone who has money to spend on it. If you have the money, go for it! HBL is one of the best hair care lines I have ever used!

This product was sent for review, but I would totally purchase it if I could budget it into my college reality. Mm.. if I only eat from the meal plan for a few weeks...

Anyhow,

Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEEE!!!

Ellovi Butter!!

Hey everyone!

Amazing natural ,eco friendly, cruelty free all around awesome sauce brand to share with ya'll today :) 

Ellovi!! I am going to copy and paste their schpeal here :D

Powerful Ingredients

We created Butter with powerful natural ingredients that invigorate skin. Ellovi Butter is pure, Vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly, ethical, intensely hydrating, and will leave your skin incredibility smooth and more youthful looking.

Highly Concentrated without Water

Water-based body butters (most of them) actually drain your skin of moisture because they evaporate. Butter is different. It's made without water and will keep your skin hydrated for days.

Intense Hydration

The secret to staying young forever is moisture, moisture, and more moisture. That's why Butter is full of skin hydrating nutrients! Keeping your skin hydrated is the best way to prevent and treat lines and wrinkles.

Benefits of Butter

• Made with six powerful ingredients that sooth and rebuild damaged skin.
• Feeds your skin cells with essential nutrients that hydrate thirsty skin making it difficult for lines and wrinkles to develop.
• Nothing artificial. The light and earthy aroma of Butter comes from the raw ingredients.
• Helps protect your skin from UV rays, sun damage, and blistering cold conditions.
• No junk. Free of parabens, SLS, synthetic chemicals, fillers, and other additives. Butter is 100% Vegan and cruelty free.
• Comes in a 3.5oz (104ml) eco-friendly glass jar.

 Other than the fact that there isn't a whole lot to say after that here is my take on these awesome Butters! 

I was sent a full sized jar of Butter; retails for $26 + $3 shipping. And in the terror of a heat wave this poor butter was shipped in it melted. A LOT. It was melted through the closure between the jar and the cap into the packing material. Did I care? A little, it was messy to clean up but I doubt it happens often. What does happen often is melting in general. The product MELTS into your skin WITH NO EFFORT. And I appreciate the instructions included as to how to save your poor melty butter from a sad existence as such XD

I LOVE how easy it is to use. The packaging is elegant, refined and beautiful in its simplicity. (image from the Ellovi facebook page) 

It also has a really nice weight to it. I know that might seem strange but I like it when glass jars feel nice in my hand. The 3.5 oz size is generous to some, but I know I will be out soon because I want to bath in it every time I open up the jar. 

I have used Shea butter and Coconut oil mixes before (I made them myself) but the other oils that have been added to the mix, Macadamia Nut oil, Hemp seed oil etc. really add to the overall benefits and experience you get from the Butter. My haphazard mix does not compare to this beautifully crafted Butter. 

It feels wonderful on your skin, it does not stay greasy for long, melts in, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and happy glowy. 

I would recommend it to anyone looking for a VEGAN option in skin care and body care. A big ole thumbs up and A+ from GlitterPukee!!!

Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEEE :D

HYD for men

Hey Ya'll!!!!!!!

So today; is not a normal post.... I am reviewing a bunch of men's products. Has my boyfriend even seen them yet? NO! And he probably will only ever get the shave cream. Why? Because they are too friggin awesome not too keep for myself XD

The products I am being a bit selfish about are from HYD for men. I received them as a member of the Ifabbo blogging community.

Razor Shield 

The line is focuses quite a bit on the product they call "Razor Shield". The environmental factors, etc. What everyone loves it for is that in the end it saves you money! It protects your razor from getting rusty, dull and unusable. If you are into the straight razors (sorry electric heads, this shield is a no go for you!) and don't just pick up the cheapest disposable ones in the aisle, you know how hefty the price of staying smooth is. That is the basis of the Razor Shield, it allows that one razor head to last for an entire month. Which is awesome! I shave my legs every other day (laziness more than lack of hair) and I am pretty sure that means I could stretch TWO MONTHS out of a single blade refill! That is so amazing in my mind, especially as I move toward college where money is tight and buying razors will come second to food.

 According to their site; 

Razor Shield helps create a liquid barrier, protecting razor blades from the corrosive chemical reactions they are exposed to during shaving and everyday use.

Sharp Blades coated in our proprietary blend of natural oils help your blade stay sharper longer, keeping your face smooth and revitalized, resulting in a clean shave.

Save your blades. And your face.
All while saving money.  

 That sounds pretty great just to start off with. 

Now; the math. If I spend about $15 on a starter package... which comes with one or two blades (I don't use pretty girly razors for the most part, shick quatro in mens or womens are my favorites ). I go through about one or two blades a month (as a girl who shaves her legs every couple days), Refill packs cost about $10-15 for three new blades. Over the year I will spend about.. $140+. Not including shaving cream/lotion etc. That is not a small amount of money. Now, with the Razor Shield I will only need a new blade (hypothetically of course) every two months, that means that I only spend about $80 on actual blades. Plus the $17.99 for Razor Shield. My total is now $100, that is still saving $40+. I think it is a great thing! And now lets toss in the environmental pluses, less razors in the landfill etc. Another great thing is that if you are hesitant about buying a full 15ml one they also offer a 5ml trial size, it retails for $6.99.

What I have found in the past few weeks I have been using the Razor Shield on my razor is that I also get a smoother closer shave, My legs stay smoother longer! Now I am going to get even more bang for my buck! Awesome!

The other two products I received were the Shave Cream and Buffer Stick. If you are a low maintenance person (which I assume is the point of the packaging of the buffer stick) you can actually just wash your face, rub the microdermabrasion (ing) stick against your wet face in circles, rinse it off and done! Look at that! Smooth skin :D 

Not only is it easy to use the Buffer Stick does not have an over powering lingering scent (that I or anyone around me noticed). It does smell a bit masculine, it is a men's product, but I think it is really great for just about everyone. I love the ease of use, and great portable packaging. It is a solid which means it is less messy and impossible for it to explode in transit.  

According to the site;

Eliminate 50 million barriers to healthy skin with this one-step microdermabrasion treatment. Buffer Stick combines hydration and long-lasting, skin-enriching treatment with professional-quality microdermabrasion.

Buffer Stick offers instant results with no pain or irritation, increased absorption of your skin care products and minimizes the appearance of dark spots and fine lines. Add to your grooming routine to hydrate your skin and gently remove dead skin cells while fighting ingrown hairs.

It retails for $24.99. I think it might be a little harsher than some of the other microdermbrasion products I have used in the past, but it is a great product and really does leave your skin super super soft after using it.

The Shave Cream

This is the only product I am not super psyched about, I actually will be giving this up because it does have a prominent masculine smell and honestly, my legs have no need to smell like a man just for fun. I do like that it allows for a very smooth shave, leaves them very soft, and overall preforms as promised on the site. I am sure my boyfriend will appreciate this product more than I do. The only issue I foresee is that he refuses to use a regular razor because he is worried he might cut his face open (kind of improbable). It may end up in my father's medicine cabinet just to avoid the silliness involved with getting my boyfriend to switch over. 

According to the site;

Shave Cream hydrates and rejuvenates your skin by minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Our unique blend of natural oils and moisturizers allows your razor to glide effortlessly across your skin, reducing friction and irritation.

Our soothing low lather formula is designed to provide superior coverage while using less shave cream. As a result, your razor will perform better and your blades won’t clog from excess shave cream.

I think it is a great product, it retails for $12.99 on the HYD website. 

A couple more awesome things about the company, I found a pretty rad advertisement saying that they don't do animal testing. If it isn't true I will find them and fight them for false advertisement. 

Anyhow! 

Thats about it! Love their stuff and get your men to check them out. 

Question for the day.. How do you feel about using men's products instead of women's? 

Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEEE!!!

Secret Clinical Stress Response Deodorant!!! SweetHeartVoxBox

Hello Ladies!!!!!!!

     If you missed my intro post to my SweetHeart VoxBox check it out Here
I received this deodorant as part of the VoxBox program via Influenster. 

     And I LOVE IT! It smells fresh. Is an advanced solid and dries amazingly fast. It is one of the best deodorants I have ever used. I generally hate deodorant (I got lucky when I GeoDeo I featured the other day) But, I spend a lot of my time walking around the local city center. 
So going without is simply NOT AN OPTION. And when I get stressed (because, they are right, we smell so much worse when we are stressed!) it is so gross. I hate it. But I have never been able to use the Clinical Strength Secret Deodorant because it caused me to get super super itchy.

     I was honestly very doubtful that this deodorant would be any better than the original one I had tried a few years ago when it came out. And Let me tell you, I am so happy I was wrong. I love the cirtuscy fresh scent. I have had more than one person ask me what perfume I was wearing!!!  
   I have worn it in alternation with the geodeo since I opened up my package. I cannot get over how wonderful both products are. I will be repurchasing both if I ever run out of deodorant! 
     
    I love everything about this product and highly recommend it  :)
Keep on eye out for posts featuring the other products from my SweetHeart VoxBox :) 

Until Next Time,
GLITTERPUKEE!!!

Immuno-Viva Renew Anti-Aging Serum

Immuno-Viva Renew Anti-aging serum is not necesairly anti-aging. Anyone can use it. ANYONE!

So hence starts my review.

http://www.immunoviva.com/images/imgRenew_short.jpg

Hey Ya'll :D

How are you? How is your skin? How is it feeling? Good? Nice with a great elasticity and wonderful glow and tone? Really. Aww shucks. I guess you don't nead to read the rest of this review because you know exactly what your skin loves. For everyone else, read on. 

Immuno-Viva is a company that focus' on improving the bodies immune system to promote overall well being and healthy life styles.

According to their site;

Immuno-Viva products combine all-natural ingredients, the NatureFresh cold press™ process, and world class science to raise the bar for antioxidant activity supplements.

Formulated from nature's most potent sources of nutrients — fruit and herb seeds — Immuno-Viva's natural power cannot be disguised. 

Now, if you ask me that sounds fab :) But the product itself is what is even better. Made of the highest quality berry and seed oils it is a mega boost that even oily skin can use. It is light and sinks into the skin instantly. It comes in an amber glass bottle as any high quality serum/oil product should come in. Light can break down the potent properties that are in both oils and serums. Light is not nice to high potency products for that reason. It has a wonderful glass dropper within the bottle and in my experience three to four drops is all you need for your entire face. Any more and the serum/oil will not sink into your skin properly. 

The companies description of the product is as follows;

Instantly revitalize your skin with Immuno-Viva® Renew skin serum. Renew is made with a patent-pending blend of seed oils with antioxidant activity that work synergistically with Immuno-Viva Core to combat the signs of aging. Apply topically am or pm or both to help reduce the appearance of:

• Wrinkles

• Scars

• Stretch marks

• Uneven skin tone

• Dehydrated skin

• Dark circles (under eyes)

All of the certified organic oils in Renew Anti-Aging Serum are produced using Immuno-Viva's NatureFRESH Cold Press™ process, which ensures all of the healthy natural constituents in each oil are extracted and preserved.

Ingredients: Organic Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil, Organic Rubus Idaeus (Red Raspberry) Seed Oil, Organic Hellanus Annus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Organic Nigella Sativa (Black Cumin) Seed Oil, Mixed Tocopherols, Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) extract, Fragrance.

Paraben, silicone, petrochemical and synthetic fragrance free.

All of the ingredients are cold pressed to preserve their anti-aging properties. The second one takes a plant based product and start to heat it up the properties start to break down. The oils are photo and heat sensitive. This is the reason there are *Raw* foodies. People who eat only raw foods in attempt to preserve that natural benefits in the foods. 

This product left my skin amazing! I used it in conjunction with the Argan oil I received as part of my ZinnBeauty review after I preformed the Jessner peel on my skin to help aide the healing process. 

I would definitely recommend this to anyone will previous skin conditions. Especially extreme dryness or itchy uncomfortable skin. I have have oily combination skin and love this product to pieces. 

I hope this review was interesting and helpful,

Until Next Time,

GLITTERPUKEE!!!!!
