Rejuvenique by Monat Review

Hey everyone!!! I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Today I'm going to be reviewing a product I got from iFabbo, which is Rejuvenique by Monat. This product is an oil which can be used on both the skin and hair.

Here's some information from the box and a little pamphlet that came in the box:

" A Monat proprietary blend of unique botanical oils rich in rejuvenating vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that mimic the body's own natural oils, allowing for deeper, quicker and more complete absorption.

Intense oil activates enhance cellular activity and provide essential moisture to dramatically increase youthful hydration.

Provides essential moisture and helps enhance cellular renewal, improve collagen production, maintain elasticity and strengthen skin's natural regeneration."

"Rejuvenique is a non-greasy clincally proven formulation that promotes smooth and supple skin, aids in hydration and because it has a high fat content, it also replaces the body's own natural oils allowing for faster, deeper and more complete absorption. For the hair, it provides manageability, shine, moisture, protection against environmental influence. For the skin, it moisturizes and provides significant improvement to tone and texture. Once applied it protects both hair and skin from damage caused by harsh chemicals and heat appliances."



As for the packing its super simple as you can tell from the picture. I really do enjoy how sleek the product looks.

The product itself isn't oily it sort of feels like a primer would, its has a silicone feeling, but maybe that's just me. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this product because of the fact that its an oil and I have an oily have and acne prone skin, also I have oily hair, definitely not the ideal things to use an oil on. Anyway, in the winter months I do tend to get dry spots on my face and my hair sometimes becomes dry as well, so I figured it would be good for that purpose. It definitely helped relieve me of my dry spots on my face, let me just say I didn't use it on my entire face because like I mentioned early I have acne prone skin and I didn't want to risk causing a breakout, but I did get a pimple or two where I used this oil. As far as my hair goes, omg it just made it feel so much softer like it felt touchable, so I was happy with that!! However, I didn't see any difference in manageability, but my hair is wild nothing can tame it.  Also, let me just note that you can also use this on the body in replace of a lotion. I used this on my extremely dry hands and even used this on my boyfriend. I've mentioned before that he has excessive dry patches on his body and this definitely helped him a lot. I applied some to his arms in the morning and it kept him feel moisturized all day.

So my thoughts? I think this is a great product for relieving dryness. This product does have a steep price tag, $100. I know that's a lot but if you have extreme dry patches I would definitely look into this product it really does help a lot. I really can't vouch for the things its suppose to do since I would just do spot treatments or use it as a lotion, However, it really did nothing for my hair except help make it feel soft. If you would like to get more information on this product definitely check it out here.

P.S. Let me just apologize if this review seems kind of jumpy I've been really tired also I've had a death in the family so my mind is just all over the place. Once I'm feeling myself again I will edit this and add more info as I see fit. Thank you for your patience.  Have a wonderful evening.

Royal Elixir Face Serum Review

Hey my loves so first let me state how sorry I am for being m.i.a a lot of things have came up and right now I am without internet. So as you can imagine it is difficult to post stuff but since I am at my boyfriend's, I'm gonna take this opportunity to post a review!! I am going to be reviewing the Royal Elixir Face Serum by Perlier. I was given this wonderful opportunity by iFabbo and definitely jumped on this.

Let me just say one thing that I am a sucker for is packing and Perlier does it right!! Their packaging looks so elegant and just amazing it grabs your attention. When I got this product I didn't want to open the box, but when I did I wasn't disappointed with the product either it looked so pretty!


This Royal Elixir serum works like a lightweight moisturizer that doesn't leave you skin feeling tight, don't you just hate that feeling? You can use this instead of a moisturizer or use with. When I first was testing it out I used it underneath my moisturizer and it felt really refreshing. What I mean by that is my skin felt so soft!! When used on it's own it had my skin feeling the same way, but you definitely got a little bit of a "glow". This product does contain some shimmer but definitely not a lot to where you look like a vampire from Twilight.


This product absorbs quickly into your skin and it just feels so soft. It's not oily at all, which is perfect for anyone with oily skin, myself included. It does have a scent to it but it's very delightful it almost smells a little like honey.

So, overall I am loving this product and it does last a while all you need is one pump. This does cost $99, but let me tell you it's so worth it all you need is a little bit and you are good to go! You can check it out here if you are interested in it.

Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub

Hello my lovely angels, sorry I haven't posted anything in a while I've been super busy with life and hopefully it'll go back to normal soon. Anyways, today I will be reviewing the Perlier Volcanic Thermal Spa Scrub. Of course as always before I tell you my thoughts on it I will be telling you what Perlier has to say about this product.



"More than a scrub, it's a true beauty treatment for the skin! Perlier has extracted from volcanic rocks, micronutrients that are essential and vital to the cells in the skin. With natural minerals with different particle sizes, it delivers dual rejuvenating and smoothing action!
The larger the mineral particles work with the thermal water to stimulate regeneration deep in the epidermis while the finer powders smooth the skin soft and velvety like truly 'new skin'"

This  product itself is a blue gel-like substance that contains both large and small particles and is absolutely Ah-MAZ-ZA-ING!! I love, love, love it!! When I first received it I honestly didn't think I would like it as much as I do. I've tried scrubs that weren't that great compared to this scrub. This is 6 fl oz of awesome!

I have been using it at least twice a week and it makes my skin feels so incredibly soft. I think my favorite part is  applying it. It just make you feel so relaxed, at least it makes me feel that way. My boyfriend has even used this and he loves it as well. He has a condition that causes him to have rough dry patches on his body. He used this once and he felt a super huge difference in his skin, it just felt so soft! So whether you have really dry, rough skin or not this scrub is going to give you the same results, velvety smooth skin, and who doesn't want that?



Overall, I love this scrub it is definitely going to be my must have especially with the winter season approaching soon. Also, Perlier is giving you $5 off your purchase with this code: iFabbo5. If you are looking for a new scrub to try out I definitely recommend this one and if you are interested in purchasing this product or looking more into it check it out here. So that is it for this review and I will talk to you guys soon! :)

 Hello my lovely angels today I am going to be reviewing the Ageless Derma Anti-Aging Intensive Skin Brightener. As a gal with a medium complexion my skin is going to be face hyper-pigmentation. So it is important to include a brightening cream into my skin regime.


 Here's what Ageless Derma has to say about this Face Brightening Cream:

Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex

Hey my beautiful angels, today I am going to be reviewing the Hydroxatone AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex. This is definitely going to be the quickest review ever.

This moisturizer can be used for both morning and night it contains an SPF of 15. You get 30 grams of product. The cream has a yellowish color to it and is thick. I find it difficult to spread onto my face and neck due to the consistency of it. However, once it absorbs into your skin it will feel so soft. This product is super moisturizing and I can’t tell you if it helps reduce wrinkles since I do not have any.

This is not my favorite moisturizer to use simply because it makes my face super oily and I already have very oily skin. However, I do think this product is ideal for someone with dry skin or someone with a little bit of an oily face.


Overall, I give this a 5/10. I would like it if my face didn’t end up unbearably oily. However, if you are interested in checking out this product head to your local ulta or go to here and read more about it yourself. #AntiWrinkleSPF

UV Wristbands

I'm always been a supporter of protecting your skin from harmful uv rays, especially during these hot summer days. Have you ever wondered how strong these rays are? No? Okay so I guess I'm the only one *sad face* but thanks to wristbands.net I no longer have to wonder I can know just by looking at my wristband.

These UV Wristbands are very unique and definitely super cool. They are originally appear clear and turn a blue/fuchsia color when exposed to ultra violet light. The higher the uv intensity the darker the wristbands will become. Did I mention you can customize these wristbands? Well you can!


This is definitely a fun and unique way to remind people how dangerous uv light is. These can help reduce skin cancer by simpling reminding you to apply sunscreen or just by simply staying in the shade. This has turned into my must have I have not left my house with my band and sunscreen in my purse for re-application later in the day.



If you are interested in learning more information check out their website. Let's have a safe summer and spread skin care awareness one band at a time. Also be sure to check out their social media: twitter & facebook

Hydroxatone Anti-Aging BB Cream Review

Recently a lot of makeup companies have been coming out with a BB Cream. These BB creams are suppose to even skin tone, reduce the look of pores, conceal imperfections and many more. You can wear them alone or under a foundation.

The BB Cream that I'm going to review is from Hydroxatone, it's anti-aging and contains spf 40. This product hydrates, conceals, protects, reduce the look of aging and brightens skin. It contains plant extracts to help calm and soaths irritated irritated skin and is packed full of vitamin C.


Here's what Hydroxatone has to say about this product:
BB Cream acts as an all-in-one product with cosmetic beauty and skincare benefits. This perfecting multi-functional cream can act as a foundation, concealer, sunblock, and moisturizer all at once BB cream was initially formulated and used by dermatologists to help patients who received laser surgery protect, soothe and refine their sensitive skin while also providing them with a light coverage for post-laser scars, acne, and other skin imperfections.


The color range of this BB cream ranges from light to Deep Tan. I got this in Medium. However, the Medium seemed a little too light for me so be careful when selecting your shade. The color is beige with a little gray (although it does look a bit yellow in my swatches) and a bit of a patsy finish. The color does seem like it would embrace a more pinker undertone. Once I applied my makeup and completed my look it seemed like the color did tone down some so I wasn't left looking to ghostly.

 





                                                                         Fully blended out

It wasn't overly pasty since it does sheer out considerably once applied. They get the texture down of a BB Cream wonderfully as this is rich and creamy. However, although it appears pigmented, it actually applies very subtly with a sheerer finish that isn't very build-able.

This is quite a nice BB Cream. The texture is beautiful to work with as it blends easily, leaves behind a satiny finish, and hydrates skin delicately without being oily or greasy. It’s lightweight and very breathable coverage as well. It evens out skin tone and brightens skin for a more flawless complexion. However, the sheerness of the product might be a deal breaker for some. I liked it a lot but I’d have liked it even more if the color was better fitted to my skin tone. Sadly, it seemed all the shades run quite light.

I love that this BB cream does do what it says it does. However, it doesn't have full coverage it's more on the light side of coverage, so if you do have a lot of imperfections that you want cover up yup will have to use a concealer. One thing that I do not like is the scent it irritates my eyes. Overall this is a nifty product and if you are looking for a product to incorporate into your summer foundation routine check out this product. You can find it at Ulta

Own Firming Silk Concentrate Review

Hello beauties, today I will be reviewing the firming silk concentrate by Own Skin Health. This is going to be a straight to the point post, but still informative so without further to do let's get to it!


Product Description
Visibly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for more vibrant skin. The naturally derived and patented CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) formula in Own Anti-Aging Firming Silk Concentrate works with your body to treat all three layers of skin through a power-packed serum that’s proven to absorb easily without leaving a residue. Own Firming Silk Concentrate works with your own body’s chemistry to reactivate healthy processes and rebuild the skin’s structures for brighter, taut, and genuinely younger-looking skin.
  • Retinol-free formula                                                                                            
  • Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
  • Dermatologist-tested
  • Fragrance-free
  • Paraben-free
  • Sulfate-free

The first thing i noticed with this product is how runny it is. To me, it's not a typical serum where it feels more like a gel. It's almost like an oil/water mixture, but it is so light on the skin! Seriously, it feels incredibly light and silky but it does provide moisture. I've been using this after I cleanse my face, before moisturizing. It's got a dropper where you dispense the product on your hand and you only need 4 drops for your whole face and neck. It's also not greasy-feeling at all, which is a big plus for me. Once I wake up in the morning, I notice that my skin feels really soft and actually looks really healthy and glow-y  I've also noticed, and it may be just me, but it seems to make my pores look smaller! I'm not sure how it does that but I definitely notice a difference when I've used this the night before. I've only been using this for about a month now, but I can't wait to see what the long term effects are on my skin! I haven't had any issues with breakouts either from using this product, so it's safe to say this is having a positive effect on my skin so far! I don't have wrinkles on my face so I'm not really helpful with that, but this product is amazing.



My face feels softer and just absolutely lovely! If you would like to check out more about this product or if you are interested click here, you can also find these products at ulta. Well that is it for this review if you have tried this product what are your thoughts on it? Well I shall talk to you lovely people in my next post.  #OwnAtUlta

Relogy Acne Treatment


  As I mentioned in a couple of posts ago I ordered 3 items from the Ifabbo shop. The second item I got was the Relogy 2-Step Acne System. I received a Dual action treatment foam, natural skin balancing lotion with coconut milk, targeted spot treatment, a little bag and a guide to clear skin.
 
    I have acne prone skin and when I breakout, I breakout horribly it's like I'm going through puberty all over again! The weekend before I received these products I had broken out. Luckily this was waiting for me and became my life saver! I had used it immediately and within a week my face was slowly clearing up.

   Now let me give you some information on these products. Relogy doesn't use harsh chemicals that irritate your skin or result in side effects. Also these products are cruelty free.


   The innovative dual action treatment foam penetrates deep into your skin's surface to start clearing up acne immediately. It's innovative system of active ingredients fights acne differently than ordinary acne products. This unique blend of botanically based ingredients promotes healing and has a soothing anti-inflammatory effect on your skin. Also you can use this dual action foam as a topical treatment (which doesn't require rinsing) or you can use it as a treatment cleanser (with rinsing).
 

   The natural  skin balancing lotion with coconut milk is made with 100% natural vegan-friendly ingredients. It is the ultimate side-effect preventer, as it keeps your skin soft, hydrated, and nourished. All you need is a pea-sized amount  and massage into your skin. If you have oily skin just use it once a day, I usually use it in the mornings. It's just what you need for healthy glowing skin.
 

   The targeted spot treatment with seaweed extract goes straight to work on blemishes to further boost your results. A cooling roller-ball applicator applies anti-inflammatory treatment directly where you need it.

    I really love these products they are so gentle on your face that people with sensitive skin can use it! I have incorporated these items into my daily skin care routine. If you would like to check out these products click here.


XOXO
Tori :)

Own Skin Health Refining Moisture Night Cream Review

Hello beauties, today I will be reviewing the refining moisture night cream by Own Skin Health. As being a part of iFabbo I get to shop in their exclusive shop. I had bought 3 items but I will be reviewing the other 2 items in the upcoming weeks. Anyway, I had bought this product because I was in need of a night moisturizer and decided to give this a try.



Here's a little bit of information from Own's website about this product:
Hydrate and illuminate your skin nightly with a luxurious formula designed to fight all three causes of aging while you rest. Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream features clinically proven CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) technology, a plant-based ingredient designed to enhance collagen levels, improve moisture retention, and boost metabolism for softer, smoother, and genuinely younger-looking skin. 94% of women who tried Own Anti-Aging Refining Night Cream reported that it absorbs easily and penetrates the skin quickly.

Product Details
● Retinol-free
● Does not cause irritation, redness or flakiness
● Dermatologist-tested
● Paraben-free
● Sulfate-free


I absolutely love this moisturizer. I've been using this moisturizer for about 3 weeks and already I see amazing results. This moisturizer not only moisturizers and firms but also evens skin tone! I have dark spots on both sides of my cheek and in the few weeks I've been using it, I can barely see the spot on one side, the other is still slightly visible but not as much as it was before and also my skin feels super soft, I love it! It does absorb quickly into your skin. The only thing is if you put a lot of the product on your face you will wake up with a super oily face. So with that being said I would recommend using only a little bit. In 8-12 weeks you will see significant results. If you're in your early twenties it's a good time to start incorporating anti-aging products to your nightly routine. Your body will make better use of it and you'll wake up with a bright looking face.

I absolutely recommend this to everyone especially if you have dark spots and wrinkles.. If you would like to see more information or if you're interested click here, you can also find these products at ulta and right now they are having a sale, you buy one you get the other half off. This has become my night time miracle product. If you are interested in seeing an updated post once I reach 12 weeks, let me know in the comment section or if you've tried this product let me know your thoughts. #OwnAtUlta
