for Mad Hippie’s Vitamin C Serum. I’ve written about this brand before. I’m happy to report the Vitamin C Serum lives up to the hype. It is often on the list of “best of’s” for vitamin C. This serum uses Ferullic Acid like another popular, but much more expensive product. The Vitamin C in it is Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. So get Mad with Vitamin C, and get happy with the results….

If you are new to the toning game, this one is an easy choice. So tone up with No 7, and leave the old school drying toners in the past…
with Kopari Beauty’s Coconut Deodorant. This is the best natural deodorant I’ve tried so far. I have the original scent, but there is a variety to choose from. It is Aluminium and banking soda free. I like that is a stick deodorant vs a lot of the popular brands are more of a liquid or paste. This organic products is a mix of coconut water, coconut oil, and sage oil. It uses plant based enzymes to help provide odor protection and break down odor causing bacteria. So go natural with Kopari, and get used to feeling fresh….
advanced skincare technology with the Nira Skincare Laser. It takes just 2 minutes a day to get the effect. It is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. There’s videos on the site and an app to help you track your progress. The way it works is by stimulating natural collagen production to plump skin and smooth wrinkles. This device is FDA cleared and safe for all skin tones. It is very to use, and if your holding it wrong it lets you know. “NIRA uses patented P3 Technology to deliver professional wrinkle reduction without the pain or redness. P3 stands for Precision Protein Promotion. This technology works by gently heating up the cells in your dermis using laser light which causes the cells some limited stress whereby they release proteins which signal the body to rejuvenate and renew the dermal area. This cellular signaling happens when the dermis is heated to greater than 39° Celsius.” I’ve only been using this tool for 30 days but I’m very happy so far. So get results with Nira, and get it at home…..
for Moon Juice’s Acid Potion. This resurfacing exfoliator is strong and effective. I found it because I was looking for a less expensive more natural substitute for my P50 addiction. Many people have said it’s comparable if not better. I had to see for myself. The owner created the company becuase she had an auto immune disorder that she was driven to put in remission. “Moon Juice bridges the world of alchemy and biology for functional benefits.” The Acid Potion is designed to be used like a toner. It actively resurfaces skin with 5 acids and many botanicals. It is 25% AHA+BHA. It also has Niacinamide, Tocotrienols, Lactic Acid,Salicylic Acid, and adaptogenic Reishi. I definitely noticed smaller pores and fresher skin. So get with Moon Juice, and get over ineffective products…
quickly with Completely Bare’s ctrl+hair+del Facial Hair Removal Cream. I was sent this product to test, and I didn’t have facial hair to test it on. I realized the targeted applicator was the perfect design for touch ups. I am horrible at shaving and always miss spots. This product removed unwanted hair quickly and easily. It is infused with Argan Oil, Aloe, and Cocoa Butter to help moisturize and condition skin. It does have a pungent hair remover smell though. So take it off with Completely Bare, and leave it off….
but when you’re in a rush and want salon looking nails, use Static Nails. They have the coolest press on nails I’ve seen. I have not tried them yet, but I will be getting the black ones with red underneath for Winter. For the Summer, I have been using their nail Liquid Glass Laquer in Coconut. It is designed to look shiny and strong like gel, and said to last 10+day. They last a solid 6 on me. Most polishes last 3. It is made with Antioxidants, Rosehips, Marula Oil, Balm Mint, and is non toxic (8 free). Coconut is the perfect sheer pink with a hint of white. So fake a salon visit with Static, you know you’re faking other things….
when it comes to face masks. I love mixing them myself, and you don’t have to worry about them expiring and drying out. This week I started using Terra Beauty’s Matcha Sea Clay Dry Mask. Terra Beauty is a 100% natural, peta approved, vegan, clean cosmetics line. It is owned by 3 sisters that are first generation Brazilian Americans. They grew up on the farms of Brazil and Italy and took that knowledge into their beauty products.The mask uses microfined matcha, green tea, sea clay, white kaolin clay, and vitamin e. So mask up with Terra Beauty, and help renew your skin before you have to put that other kind of face mask on…
The Body Shop’s Tea Tree 3 in 1 Wash Scrub Mask is a great multitasker for your skincare shelf. You can use it as a face wash/scrub, or a mask. It is designed to help with blemishes and excess oil. I used it as a mask and was surprised by how fresh my skin felt. It felt like I had a deep cleaning in 5 minutes. My pores were clean and my skin had a toned glow. Their organic tea tree oil is Community Trade from Kukoka Ardhini. So clean and mask your skin with this Body Shop treat, and check out the rest of their tea tree line.
Everyone loves Glow Recipe, because the brand is high quality, and fun! At Glow Recipe they believe “what’s not in the formula is just as important as what is.” The entire line is clean, cruelty free, free of parabens, sulfates, and phthalates. I have been using their Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask. It uses encapsulated retinol, coffeeberry, and niacinamide to moisturize, brighten, de-puff and fight fine lines. The use of encapsulated retinol allows less irritation for the delicate eye area. It releases slowly so the benefits work longer. You can use it during the day, but you must layer sunscreen over it. I notice an instant brightening when I apply it. This rich creamy lotion feels luxurious, not heavy. So put on some Avocado Melt, and get more out of your bedtime ;)….
