Lindi Skin Beauty Review

As you may already know, I have super sensitive skin so I'm always looking for products that are gentle and cater to my skin-type. I was recently given the opportunity to try a few products from Lindi Skin. They specialize in products that are gentle and made especially for women who are allergy-prone, have skin rashes, are sensitive. They're also recommended for those who need special care for medical reasons or who have had medical treatments.

I was given the opportunity to try some of their popular products. Here's what I have been using:

The Face Serum in Lavender- one of my favorite calming scents, this serum feels amazing on my skin. I use this nightly after the face wash to help keep my skin feel its best- as it is packed with antioxidants and vitamins.

The Eye Hydrator- this eye gel is great for reducing my puffiness. Its cooling and moisturizing properties are great to keep the sensitive skin around your eyes feeling hydrated. 

The Lip Balm- I personally prefer my lip balms as a stick instead of a jar to avoid using my fingers, but I found this lip balm to be incredibly moisturizing. It reminds me of a texture of Vaseline because it coats my lips well. It has packed with Vitamin E and can also be used on your nail cuticles. 

Last but not least, their Face Wash! Everyone uses a face wash daily (or at least they should be!) so this is one of the most important beauty staples in my book. This wash does exactly what it says on the label- Clarify & Hydrate! My skin looks clearer and feels more supple after use. No tightness at all which I feel with my other washes sometimes.

Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive review

My hair is extremely thankful for iFabbo for introducing me to the Monat Global Rejuveniqe™ Oil Intensive hair product that I have been using the past couple of weeks.

This incredibly sleek packaged hair oil has hydrated and kept my hair looking shiny and feeling fabulous. My hair is already naturally "oily" so naturally I wouldn't be inclined to use a hair oil. However, there are hydrating benefits to using Rejuvenique, whose key ingredient is Abyssinian Oil, esp. during the winter when my ends get a bit drier than usual. My scalp also reaps the benefits, as it helps control sebum production (aka more oilies). 

Bonus? You can also use this on your cuticles, elbows or any other dry patches on your body!! This is definitely my go-to product for this winter and you can too! Check out www.monatglobal.com to learn more!

Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster Review

Since April, I've been giving my skin a boost with the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Booster - amazing serum to make your skin feel its very best. Out here in the west coast, the weather is warm and very dry. I'm constantly using lotion to hydrate my skin but I've found a few drops of the booster lasts much longer. I don't have to reapply and I'm feeling the benefits of this!! Perk? It fits in your purse so you can take this for travel.

For Beauty & All That readers: Until the end of May, you can get one too at 15% off with coupon code: BOOST at Dermalogica.com (valid until 5/31/14).

Thank you iFabbo for letting me try this!! Can't wait to see what other Dermalogica goodies have!

Sante Cosmetics Updated Review

I am so psyched to be sharing some of my new favorite beauty products from Sante Cosmetics. This brand was discontinued for a bit in the US but it's now back and I'm so glad! Now I can stock up on their amazing eyeshadow trio and eyeshadow sticks! 

I also got to try their newest shampoo - jojoba shampoo. So far, my hair has felt vibrant and amazingly moisturized. The scent is something that you have to get used to though- it reminds me of a previous Sante skincare product that I used a few years back.

My two new beauty staples include the Sante lipstick #21 and their blush/cheek powder in #2. The lipstick is a beautiful pop of coral/pink that complements my light skintone well. It's also bright so lifts my mood whenever I wear it. The #2 cheek color is warm and gives you an extremely natural color. This is perfect for everyday and for a professional office-wear look.

Exfoliate with Beautisol's Exscrub Me?

As part of the #iFabbo blogger network, I got to try out an amazing new product from Beautisol- the Excrub Me? citrus facial exfoliant. Sloughing away dead skin cells is essential to get your skin looking and feeling healthy. It's also the first step in achieving a nice, glowing tan (natural or with some help!) For me, any product's scent is important because I want to make sure they smell great. Any fruity scent is already a fave so I was glad to see that it included Tangerine, Lemon and Orange oils. My skin felt fresh and revived after using this and now that my dead skins are sloughed away, it's perfect for any treatment after.

Rock Your Hair! (seriously!)

Want spunky hair? Or just plenty of volume? Try the Rock Your Hair Shampoo and Conditioner to help your hair get some oomph! I've been growing out my hair and although I've had my my locks trimmed, I still feel like my hair needs more volume. Upon using the Big Hair Rocks shampoo and conditioner duo, I've noticed an immediate lift in my roots  and couldn't be happier! I've used it several times already and noticed my hair is more moisturized & rocked out. I'm loving the results!

 Bonus: It's formulated without Sulfate and Parabens, so none of that yucky stuff!

BECCA's the One Perfecting Brush review

If you only could carry one brush, it would have to be BECCA's the One Perfecting Brush. Special thanks to iFabbo for letting me review this amazing product. Available at Sephora, this brush can be used for your foundation, highlighter, contouring powder, and blush. It's dense (and wide enough) to replace all your current brushes. Its goat hairs is also soft to the touch and gentle on your face. Like most brushes, it can be used for powders and liquid products. If you use a full makeup routine, I would recommend starting with foundation, then highlighter above the cheeks and on the bridge of your nose, contouring using the narrow part of the brush, under the cheeks, side of nose and around temple and lastly, blush using the corner of the Perfecting Brush.

Own Refining Moisture Night Cream Review

Through the iFabbo Shop, I was able to try out another amazing Own product-  Own Refining Moisture Night Cream! This is a cream I have reserved to use in the Fall, as it is a bit more thicker than I would normally use for my summer routine. Now that it's getting a bit cooler, my skin has been reaping the moisturizing effects this has. I wake up with younger looking skin, aka more hydrated and sometimes a bit more oilier than I would like, but nonetheless, this night cream is a great deal.

 Available at Ulta stores and online at http://bit.ly/VXs0FI , the night cream is perfect if you're looking for hydrated skin. Its formula is easily absorbed into your skin so you can use about a quarter-sized amount nightly to get your refined, moisturized skin!

Weleda Pomegranate skincare products

I've been a fan of Weleda since I discovered their Skin Food lotion ages ago. It was a miracle lotion that healed my dry skin and since then I have been hooked! I came to try more of their products through subscription boxes and blogger events. After looking through my stash, I found two more hidden gems! I obviously kept them for safe keeping and they were my backups- of course! 

The Firming Serum is a nice to use after-a-faux-facial-at-home treatment to keep your skin even more tightened and at its best. The Firming Eye Cream is also great for those fine lines and helps protect your sensitive skin around your eyes. Now that these are out of hiding, can't wait to keep using this! It's a discovery kind of Sunday! 

What will you discover in your beauty closet today?

Vaseline's Total Moisture lotions

Yes!! Summer has arrived and while you're wearing your tank and short shorts, make sure you stay moisturized with Vaseline's Total Moisture lotions. Available in three scents and formulas, these lotions all have the Stratys 3-a multi layer moisture system to make your skin absorb the moisture quickly.

Which one is your best fit?

Use Cocoa Radiant - if your skin needs more moisture than normal. Made with cocoa butter, this lotion is perfect for rough knees, bottoms of your feet, elbows and wherever else you may need it. I recommend using this once a week for healthy, glowing skin.

Use Total Moisture with Pure Oat Extract - for the original Total Moisture lotion in a clean, simple scent. It instantly absorbs into your skin and feels great w/ no sticky residue.

Use Aloe Fresh- if you want your skin to feel light and refreshed! Made with pure aloe, this is my favorite everyday lotion for this summer. It keeps my skin cool and moisturized every time I use this.

New Sally Hansen products including Rock of Ages

On a recent trip to a drugstore, I spotted these new Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips from the limited-edition Avril Lavigne Collection. From what I see these designs are rocker-chic, so they're perfect to wear at your summer concerts. Get 'em while you can! And I also saw these NEW Pedicure Salon Effects which are also a great idea.. I mean, why should your hands have all the fun? Your toes need some love too! It would be fantastic if the prints were matching the prints on my nails too. I loved the floral pedicure prints below.

 

And for a special collaboration with the new movie, Rock of Ages, coming out in theaters June 15, a special collection with more rocker-patterns are coming your way! My favorite would have to be the zippers (third one from the left) since they're subtle yet still contain great detailing. Haven't seen these out yet, but I'll be sure to look for these on my next trip. 

Atopalm Skincare for Sensitive Skin

My skin is pretty sensitive so it's important that I use products that don't contain harsh chemicals such as SPF active ingredients!  I recently learned about Atopalm and got to try their Moisturizing Cleansing Wipes and Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream.

I've been loving the cleansing wipes in general as a quick and easy way to clean my face & neck after a sweaty workout. But I have been using these during the day when my face is feeling a bit oily, instead of just using oil blotters. My face of course feels completely clean after using an Atopolam Moisturizing Cleansing towelette and my skin feels incredibly soft afterwards.

If you're looking for a lightweight, moisturizing cream to help calm your skin, you should try this from Atopalm. It's lighter than a cream and a little more heavier than a serum. It leaves a nice matte finish and feels refreshing on my skin. I use this before I put any concealer or powder and makes it last a lot longer! So far, I'm very impressed with both products and will be checking out their site: www.atopalm.com for more products to try!

Clear's Scalp & Hair Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner

It's important to have a strong foundation in many things, and especially for my hair, I make sure my scalp is nourished, conditioned, and massaged daily. A new brand to the US called Clear has a line of shampoo and conditioners whose philosophy is to feed your scalp- literally. Its Nutrium 10 technology blends 10 vitamins and nutrients that help "restore scalp's natural moisture balance." There are 6 different types of hair issues that that Clear has addressed in their products- Moisturizing Dry Scalp, Strong Lengths, Complete Care, Damage & Color Repair, Volumizing Root Boost, and Total Care (which I tried). After using the shampoo and conditioner, my scalp doesn't get as flaky or itchy, which occurs sometimes when it feels dry. My strands feel cleaner, stronger and I love how it feels now. My scalp definitely feels better conditioned now, thanks to Clean!!

Suave Scalp Solutions Shampoo & Conditioner review

I was recently sent the NEW Suave Scalp Solutions set to try, which consists of the Anti-dandruff shampoo and conditioner. As you can see the coconut image on the bottle, the products contain the goodness of coconut oil as well as shea butter for moisturizing. When my hair/scalp gets really dry (over washing, probably) it tends to flake. This unpleasant dandruff which is noticeable due to my haircolor, can be quite, well, unpleasant to look at. So, after using this for the past week and a half, I've noticed no mo' flakes! My scalp's been looking nice and clean, and my hair smells terrific. Tip: When washing your hair everyday, don't shampoo all your tresses, just focus on the scalp and condition the rest!

Glow by Dr. Brandt Review

Want skin that glows and illuminates? If you're tired of a dull complexion, then first I recommend you to exfoliate & put on your favorite mask right away! It's time to clean up those dead skin cells. Then I would recommend the new Glow by Dr.Brandt kit that I have been recently using. It's a 2 part system with an Overnight Resurfacing Serum (for night) and a Ruby Crystal Retinol Hydracreme (moisturizer for day). Both products are made for all skin types, but if you have extremely sensitive skin, try a patch test first. I've been using these products for the past few weeks and have found my skin more radiant and who doesn't want that in the dull winter days?

The Overnight Resurfacing Serum is made for your nighttime routine. It can be a bit tingly at first so after continued usage, you can start to use this every night. For now, I use this every other night. During the day, I use the flesh-toned moisturizer that brings radiance to my skin. I like how it smooths my skin and makes it look so dewy and glowy. Since incorporating Glow by Dr. Brandt into my daily skincare routine, I have found my skin more healthy-looking, smooth, and radiant! Hallelujah! No more winter dullness!

Jergens® Ultra Healing® Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer Review

Some days it feels like winter, and some days it feels like Spring.. This yo-yo pattern is making it difficult to figure out what to wear and whether I should put away my winter clothes yet. I do know that my skin is still in need of moisture as my hands get really dry and sometimes red. This past few weeks, I've been testing out the Jergens Ultra Healing Extra Dry Skin Moisturizer. I've been using Jergens since I can remember, always had a bottle of it in my bathroom, so I wasn't too surprised when my skin felt at ease with this lotion. My scaly patches were healed and no more felt an itchiness on my dry skin! I use this right before I go to sleep or right after the shower (which is recommended). Either way your skin should feel instant relief, as mine did, from the first time I applied the Ultra Healing lotion. I'll be leaving this in the bathroom as usual for everyone to use.. :)

NYC New York Color

For my Influenster Holiday Voxbox last month, I received the NYC New York Color Liquid Lip Shine in Nude York City. This nude color is one that you can wear everyday..it's super glossy but not that sticky. I like that it lasts long and gives you a beautiful sheen on your lips. They're also really affordable at your local stores, including Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, for just $2.49. If you're looking to try different colors on a low budget, look no further!

Sneak Preview: Schick Hydro Silk™ razor for 2012

Not yet in stores until the end of January 2012, the NEW Schick Hydro Silk™ razor will give you the most closest shave ever! It has 5 blades- yes if they put any more, I wonder how large the razors will have to be, but these are patented curve sensing blades made for our skin! This razor, beautiful in design and less bulky than their Intuition razors, has a water-activated moisturizing serum so your skin also gets smooth and soft during the shaving process. This took about 2 years for Schick to develop and cannot wait to try this!!

Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care® Razor Review

I'm a huge fan of the Schick® Intuition® razors so I was excited to try the Naturals Sensitive Care® Razor. Packaged in a brown 55% post consumer recyclable cardboard box with floral designs, the look and feel of it is au naturelle. The limited edition razor handle is still plastic though but has a beautiful design. It's easy to hold on to in the shower stall, and it has a rubbery grip so it won't slip! Like the other Intuition products, the 4-blade razor for a remarkably close shave is surrounded with a moisturizing solid so there is no need to use additional shaving cream. The sold contains 100% aloe with vitamin E so you'll have a moisturized shaving experience, perfect for the dry winter condition.

Each Package Contains: · Schick® Intuition® Naturals Sensitive Care® razor handle · Two refill cartridges in Natural Aloe with soothing Vitamin E · A shower hanger and convenient travel cap
