Argan Wear, Touch Of Gold by Physicians Formula

The Midas Touch. Physicians Formula Argan Wear in Touch Of Gold I gently turn the bottle so the oxides blend evenly as everything tends to settle. Unscrew the cap and drip 4 drops onto your finger tips and apply to the area you are looking to luminize in a patting motion, not a rubbing one. and yes, there will be a lot of glitter on your fingers, but it comes off easily with soap and water.

Rejuveniqe by Monat, from the iFabbo Shop.

Face and hair? I admit, I had my fears that this was going to be based with dimethicone like *most* hair oils and I am happy to report that it is NOT! It is formulated with Abyssinian Oil , Rejuveniqe 's exclusive ingredient, which is shown to improve the skin's complexion and hair's luster through Omega 6 fatty acids and antioxidants. Completing this non-GMO and 100% natural formulation are Meadowfoam, Carrot Seed, Camellia, Buriti, Baobab, Sunflower Seed, Tomato Seed, Moringa, Pequi and Monoli oils. This intensive oil protects, replenishes and balances which is great news for us oily skin types! Designed for daily use, I release 3 drops of oil into my finger tips, pat my left and right hands together and pat the oil on to my face in an upward motion.  Rejuveniqe absorbs quickly, is organic and features zero chemical additives, colors or synthetics. Best part, it is cruelty free!  Lightweight, Rejuveniqe features a smooth citrus scent which does not linger. My ...

Tatcha Luminous Eye Mask Review

I was introduced to Tatcha through  +Beautylish  and have been adoring this Brand ever since. When I was asked if I were interested in reviewing 2 of their products, I jumped at the chance; Tatcha and my skin are a match made in Heaven! I adore eye masks. It's an area most of us tend to neglect, probably as much as our neck. This mask is simple, easy to travel with and easy to apply. Created by  + Tatcha   and f ormulated without parabens, synthetic fragrances, mineral oil, sulfate detergents, phthalates, urea, DEA or TEA,  Deep Hydration Revitalizing Eye Mask  is  non-irritating and has been dermatologist-tested.

A Lush-ious Haul; Toothy Tabs and Toner.

After the third Chou Chou I Love You Toothy Tab , I was hooked. I am demonstrating this by the haul I made at +Westfield Valley Fair   +LUSH Cosmetics North America  where I added Atomic , Sparkle and Breath of God in addition to Tea Tree Water spray toner. If you know me, you know I adore facial mists and this is one is already becoming my new fave. First up, Sparkle . Sweet vanilla flavor with a hint of Sicilian lemon and grapefruit. While Sparkle is this location's #1 seller, I find the black pepper aftertaste too overpowering and a turn off. I won't repurchase this flavour. $4.95. Vegan

Santa's Scrub; From Naughty to Nice

Santa's Lip Scrub by +LUSH Cosmetics   is the most amazing lip scrub I have EVER used. It's a blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and jojoba oil with the most delicious flavour of cola, ever! And I don't even like soda!! I unscrewed the lid from the round glass jar, which was part of the Christmas Kisses gift set, and discovered there were little red hearts sprinkled on top! Check out my Instagram page for a picture, it's worth the look!

S.M.A.R.T. Skincare with Grand Central Beauty

I am lucky enough to say, this is my second use of this product. My first, a BeautyARMY employee gratis, was applied to my décolleté since I was fearful of a peel-off style mask but now that I know how gentle it is, I can't wait to apply this to my face so I can experience the full benefits. You can read about my first experience and r esults, here . This time around I used it on my face and the instantly noticeable results pretty much blew me away.

Platinum Lineless Eye Mask.... Eye Mask?

This is not the first time that I have used a cloth mask but t his is the first time I have used one from Envie de Neuf . I received a sample of their mask in one of my subscription boxes a few months back and am just getting around to testing it out. I have since cancelled all of my beauty subscriptions except BeautyARMY. The mask is pictured on the right of the packette ; Platinum Lineless Eye Mask . The best way that I can describe it is, it looks like a butterfly.  

Stopping wrinkles at the red light.

Skinvel LED Facial Mask I have been testing this mask for a several weeks and I love it. It forces me to stop and shut my eyes and have 15 minutes of ' me time ' every day. For that alone, I love this product! haha!! The SKINVEL Red LED Facial Mask is an easy and effective way to use red light technology to stimulate collagen production and achieve long-term radiant skin texture. With daily use you will see results as quickly as 14 days! With continued you you will also experience:

An anti-stress Freeman facial.

I was introduced to Freeman Beauty by Lindsey Guest, BeautyARMY's Co-Founder and CEO. She explained that Freeman was a household name in Canada, premier skincare under the guise of a drugstore umbrella. The formulas are gentle, effective and offer a high value for your money. Dead Sea Minerals and salts replenish and balance moisture while purging clogged pores. Lavender and Bergamot help achieve an aroma-therapeutic bliss to rinse away stress for smooth and radiant skin. Perfect for all skin types. This is an easy to apply, quick to wear, fast to remove product. I squeeze some of the Anti-Stress mask onto my finger tips, rub my right and left hands together to warm and distribute the product and apply using small circular motions. One thing I like about this mask, it does not dry rock hard leaving you feeling like you're getting a cement facial. Your skin stays comfortable the whole time.

How fabulous! A rubberizing mask that is pure bliss.

I LOVE bliss skincare. The at-home spa treatments are top notch in my book so imagine how excited I was to find the fabulous skin-reviving rubberizing mask at TJ Maxx for only $14.99!! This 6 treatment box retails for $38.00 and is the most requested facial upgrade in the bliss spas and I can feel and see why. Boost your skincare regimen with this straight-from-our-spa facial treatment, a weekly must for all skin types. The unique rubberizing mask is designed to envelop skin’s surface, allowing its key ingredients to be optimally absorbed by the skin. The brightening, skin-renewing formula is packed with powerful antioxidants and nourishing, detoxifying seaweed. So if you’re looking for a bright and healthy complexion , ‘mask’ and you shall receiv e.

Treat and Renew with Karuna.

I adore eye masks. And I think there are 2 reasons for this: one is, I feel guilty for not using eye cream until I was in my early 30's. Two, they simply feel good! But the funny thing is, my adoration is a newly acquired taste in skincare treatments. I used my first eye mask because I was able to sample one with Beauty Army. Ever since then I have been testing and treating that delicate eye skin that was so long neglected.

Josie Maran : Blemishes R Gone Argan Acne Clearing Pads

Back in June 2012 I made a haul which included Blemishes R Gone Argan Acne Clearing Pads by Josie Maran. I didn't use them ri g ht away, which is why this review is coming 7 months later. As an adult acne su fferer I am looking for a new product to add to my arsenal because my current acne fighting favourite is no longer sold.  

Dermalogica : Daily Microfoliant Review

This was not my first experience with Dermalogica, it is a brand I was introduced to about 8 years ago and I have used it on and off. More off than on d u e to the price. I received a travel size of Daily Microfoliant , a fine powder faci al exfoliater . I love how this perfume-free formula brightens my skin and gently exfoliates with out irritation to my acne. " Gentle, Rice-based exfoliating powder activates upon contact with water, releasing Papain, Salicylic Acid and Rice Enzymes that micro-exfoliate dead cells, instantly leaving skin smoother and brighter. Formulated without artificial fragrances and colors."

Shea Terra Organics : Moroccan Rose Water

"Leave your skin silky soft as you tone and hydrate with true rose water. 100% Natural. Moroccan rose water is great for tired eyes, moisturizing skin, cooling inflamed skin and much more." Toner, the often oh-so-forgotten step of our skincare regime is an import part of our arsenal and should not be cast aside so quickly. Toners balance the skin and remove debris left behind after using masks and soaps . Toners also prepare skin for the next steps: serums and moisturizers. Antioxidant rich Rose W ater is a byproduct of steam distillation, the process that's used to isolate the plant's essential oil.  One of the main benefits of rose water is that it acts as an anti-inflammatory, soothing irritated skin.

Enspri : Ultra Collagen Facial Treatment Review

From my November Beauty A rmy Kit, this is Ultra Collagen , a 2 part mask by Enspri. I was not sure if I wanted to use this facial treatment because I was afraid it would deposit to o m uch hydration, as it is designed as an anti-aging product, and i rritate my acne . As you can see from the pictures below, my face is broken out. I am grateful that I decided to mix and apply this amazing product , t he results were so outstanding, it looked like I had a 90 minute facial. I started by shaking the entire packette like  sugar pack. This ensured that the powder didn't spill when I tore the top off. From the photo above you can see I did not rip the entire top off of the packette, since you mix the 2 parts, only separated by a perforated edge, I tore side 1 open to the center edge to retrieve the powder and then tore side 2 open i n the opposite direction to access the gel. Since I could not shakes the gel down, I used my thumb and pointer finger to move all the gel to the bott...

Cor : The Silver Soap. A Skincare Review

You know when you find a product that you just have to tell every body about? This is that product. Meet The Silver Soap from Cor. This is truly unlike any skincare product that I have used. Don't think of it as another facial soap - T hink of it as a former tube of creamy foaming cleanser which has been dehydrated . Trial Size

Delizioso : Mangosteen and Acai Facial Cream Review

I discovered Delizioso Skincare throug h Beauty Army, having been able to select a sample of Mangosteen & Acai Super Anti-Aging Facial Cream . Since moving all of my skincare to all natural products, I was super excited when this popped up in my selection window . Looking for added sun screen , this medium weight facial cream provides SPF 30 protectio n.  

Murad : Clarifying Cleanser Review

From the Acne Complex collection, Clarifying Cleanser is your first step in fighting blemishes. With a medicated scent, Salicylic Acid and Menthol are first to welcome you to the party. I've been using natural and vegan skincare products for several months so I find the addition of these acne fighters harsh. While I am grateful it is clearing up a terrible bought of acne that I have been suffering for almost 2 months, it is also making all of my facial skin tight. I admit this used to be a welcomed feeling especially during the Summers months but for the most part, I've had my sebum output under control with my new skincare regime. None the less, I put Murad's Clarifying Cleanser to the test. A transparent gel formula, I wet my face, apply a little Cleaner to my wet Clarisonic and follow the beeps. It rinses cleanly, removes my makeup completely I did not use this on my eyes and fought my acne. I felt caught in a cycle: My eyes are stinging and my face is cold from the M...

SkynICELAND: Hydro Cooling Eye Gels

In just ten minutes, this cooling transdermal gel patch infuses the eye area with concentrated doses of soothing ingredients to firm, tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides and botanicals improve blood flow and reduce puffiness while advanced antioxidants help prevent future damage. The patch, a cutting-edge delivery system, is easy to both apply and remove and is non-irritating . The very first thing I feel is the coolness coming through the back of the eye gels. Like a sticker, you peel the back off and apply to your orbital area. The backing is a little tricky to start removing, as if it is too sticky but once you get the paper started it's easy to remove. I apply the gel under my eye with the thin part winging out along my temple. I repeat with the other side and immediately notice that they feel heavy ; Not as in weight but in presence. I know that they are there. My skin feels like I have 2 pieces of cotton-topped scotch tape under my ey...
