Astara Skin Care (amazing stuff!)

Hey everyone,
So today I am going to talk about Astara Skin Care! 

First off, I want to say that all of the products were really really wonderful. I felt like they lived up to their claims, the masks didn't smell bad, and they didn't feel like they were hurting my skin more than helping (extreme sensitivity makes many things not so fun to use).

 I love the brand and what they stand for. Natural organic skin care for great skin. Fab :)

 I received three masks, the Activated Antioxidant Infusion, and the Antioxidant Light Moisturizer. 

The packaging is very nice. They all came in these heavy glass (mini sized)  jars. The only thing I would change about it is that I would put the Activated Antioxidant Infusion the same dark blue jar the full sized one comes in! It shouldn't be exposed to the light logically. Antioxidants can break down when exposed to UV light and the effectiveness of any skin car product is protected when you keep it in a cool dark place! (Mini rant.. sorry -__-")

The three masks are super cool. I picked out from the many different masks to try. The ones I ultimately ended up receiving were the Blue Flame, Violet Flame and Green Papaya. 

Mally Beauty!! Review and swatch photo bomb :D

Hey everyone!!

This is a post about some pretty awesome products from Mally Beauty. Where have you heard that name before? Well the products are sold on QVC and the creator, Mally herself, is a well known makeup artist.

The two products I was sent are: Evercolor Silk eye defining system and Evercolor poreless face defender. 

Which did I like more? It is a toss up. But I will introduce ya'll to the first one! Evercolor silk eye defining system.

Why is it awesome?

Packaging is absolutely adorable!! Pastel snake skin boxes!

The actual packaging of the products are also fun. They are the same color as the outer boxes in a soft metalic plastic compacts. The Eye defining system was in the color Tidal Wave. 

Using just the flat oval side of the double sided brush I was able to create a fun colorful cat eye with a sharp wing!

I lined this eye with the eyeliner and then went over it with the powder eye shadow to soften the look!

Cute packaging!!!!!!!

Comes with it's own brush!!! 

The top is just the eyeshadow (no primer used in any of these swatches). The second from the top is the eye liner only and the bottom is the eyeliner smudged out.

Eye shadow layered over eyeliner. The darker section is only eyeliner the shimmery is with eye shadow over it. 

These two were super easy to apply. The eye shadow brush is small and precise. So you can layer eye shadow directly over the eyeliner and not have any unnecessary smudginess!

I  love the color, it is universal and would look good on anyone. It is on trend and fun for any time of the year depending on how you wear it! I love to wear the eyeliner smudged along my lower lash line to give me a fun pop of color!

This product is not as obvious. It is a great pore refiner and feels wonderful on the skin. But there isn't a whole lot you can say about it. I love the packaging. It is convenient and easy to use. It includes a foam round that is soft on the skin and it creates a soft finish that is quite nice. Also a great multitasker! You can use it both under and over your finished makeup.

Now that is just about it.

I hope this was a helpful review.

Until Next Time,

Review: Darcy's Botanicals

They have the most amazing bogy oils ever!!!
Everything I tried smelled absolutely amazing. ( I received two body oils and a hair masque from the company to write my review on) 
My skin and hair was left crazy soft and smelling fresh. 


The body oils are amazing. I choose Apricot and Cacao bean scented ones. The main difference between the two was packaging. The Apricot one came in a spray pump bottle. It made usage a breeze. No worries about the top leaking, it would be under a cap, and no worries about oil residue getting all over my bag when I throw it in carelessly (because I tend to do silly things like that when I am at the beach or on the go). The shape is more convenient simply due to the fact that I can get more *flat* items into a bag in comparison to *round* items. 
They leave my skin super soft, hair shiny and nails happy (desperate times call for desperate measures). I love that they are super multi-use and would suggest them to anyone who tends to get dry midday or would like an easy scent boost at the same time. They impart a sexy sheen and leave a wonderful scent that not only lasts all day but isn't too *In your face* and doesn't usually knock people out. Unless of course we are talking about the good way :D
I love both scents! Apricot (of which I do not relish eating it's namesake fruit) smells just like a freshly bitten ...well Apricot. It is super realistic and I feel that this is partially because of the base oil is Apricot Kernel. 
Cacao smells wonderful as well, I love chocolate and this smells exactly like a chocolate bar (kind of). It has a CACAO BEAN in the BOTTLE!!! Soo cool!!! I did not expect that what so ever. I love the true-ness of scent in both of these oils.


The deep hair masque smells just as wonderful. The instructions say you should leave it on for 20 to 30 minutes and then rinse it out. Welllllll... I forgot it was in my hair, I was reading a great book, so I ended up keeping it in for about an hour. It was easy to rinse out and left my hair CRAZY soft. I used about a tablespoon? and I think I will be using it forever! I will be repurchasing when I run out because for the price I have yet to find a deep conditioning masque that leaves my hair quite so soft. I do love one of the ones yet to be reviewed (It is coming soon.. promise!) and will probably be repurchasing it as well.
I love all three of the products I received and would recommend them to anyone with any hair type. Amazing products hands down. 

A short description from their site:

Who's Darcy?

Darcy's Botanicals is a family-owned company that is named after my precious little pea (Darcy). My hobby turned passion was born out of my desire to live a more natural lifestyle and the need to learn how to take care of our natural coils (properly) without the use of chemicals. I was also motivated by my sister's beautiful coils to create products that would help to nourish and enhance natural (curly) hair.

I spent most of my time mixing up butters and creams known to nourish, protect, soften and moisturize curls. I also spent lots of time researching natural ingredients and finding regimens that would work with and not against our coils.

All of our curly hair & skin care treats are created & handcrafted by me (Lysandra Taylor) right here in the USA. I have been mixing, creating, and studying natural & organic ingredients for over (8) years now. I absolutely love, love, love what I do:) I hope that by providing natural, organic, and naturally derived products for naturals, curlies, loc wearers and multi-ethnic curls that work, it will make it much easier for us to choose to love and embrace our natural hair.

We hope you will love our creations as much as we enjoy creating them for you.

Lysandra & Darcy

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!!!!!
