My Pearl Of The Day

My Pearl Of The Day is the lovely Better Botanicals products.

         BETTER BOTANICALS APRICOT EYE THERAPY
  I’ll start off by saying this: BETTER BOTANICALS IS JUST SUPER! I’ve been “experimenting” with many of their different body and face products and I’ve been happy with every one of them.

  First, there’s the Apricot Eye Therapy which is a rich cream that you gently pat under/around eyes for an uplifting, eye popping look. It brightened my entire eye area. I love this stuff. It has a light fragrance to it, but it’s really not noticeable. It smooths out the fine lines and wrinkles. I’m telling you, this is perfect for any eyes. It kind of lifts and firms slightly too. It doesn’t leave the skin looking or feeling greasy or sticky and most eye creams do. I can’t stand that. The Apricot Eye Therapy is PH balanced.

                                             ROSE TULSI MIST
   Then there’s the Rose Tulsi Hydrating Mist to soothe and replenish your skin. Also, you can dab a little on mid-day and give your skin a brighter, more alive look. The Rose Tulsi Mist also detoxifies your skin. It is highly hydrating and leaves your skin smooth with no left behind greasy-ness.

One thing I really love about Better Botanicals Is that none of their products EVER leave your skin looking or feeling greasy and leaves no residue. I am so grateful for that! It does give your face a nice fresh glow.



                        AYURVEDIC HYDRATING BODY OIL
   The Ayurvedic Hydrating oil smells and feels so nice! The pack says to massage the oil on your body using upward stroking motions and circular motions around your joints. I’m not too sure why, but it works well! It has a really pretty scent. It smells a bit on the exotic side. Coconut tanning oil is what it reminds me of. It sounds like it would feel like sun tan oil on your skin too, but surprisingly it doesn’t. It leaves a shiny look to your skin, but is not greasy in any way. Most oils cause lint and hair to stick to your body because it’s oil. The Ayurvedic Oil really rubs in well and doesn’t cause yucky residue. It is very hydrating and leaves your skin silky. I thought it worked well after shaving. It smooths your skin and it kind of seemed to enhance the look of my tan and much better than a lotion does!

  It contains carrot, sesame, sunflower and sweet almond. I like the unique ingredients in Better Botanicals products. They seem to all be highly effective.


                          CHAMOMILE HYDRATING CLEANSER

   The Chamomile Hydrating Cleanser is a thick, rich and creamy cleasner with a light scent of lemon. It very refreshing and feels wonderful after massaging all over then rinsing with warm water. My face looked so clean and soft. I had peeling all over from tanning & the Chamomile Hydrating Cleanser worked wonders for that. It takes off even the thickest make-up.

  When I first used the cleanser I wondered how well it would do with my crazy purple glitter all over my eye lids. I could not believe that it wiped every last speck of glitter and mascara right away. I lightly used a wash cloth and the cleanser to get the make-up and glitter off and it only took one swipe across the eyes (a little extra on the thick mascara) and a quick rinse. Thank God for this cleanser! I have the hardest time getting my glitter to come off at the end of the day. Usually, I end up scrubbing my face & still have flecks of glitter all over my cheeks 3 days later. I then end up sticking tape to my face over and over to try and remove the glitter. I didn't have any problems like that after using the cleanser! Now that my lovies, is a good cleanser! If you can take all of my glitter, powder and mascara off then you'll be a long term friend of mine.

  Well done Better Botanicals! I would definitely rate this a 10. It deserves it!

                                      JOJOBA CLARIFYING SCRUB
  Now, this one is pretty much my #1 fav! The Jojoba Clarifying Scrub
  This Jojoba Clarifying Scrub is a never-fail. It's so super! I love that even when my skin looks it's absolute worst (and believe me, IT DOES!) I can slap some of this scrub on, massage or even just let it sit while I wash my hair and rinse it with warm water and have a clean, flawless face. This has to be my new favorite facial scrub.

  It even looks neat. It's a dark green like color with all kinds of good botanical-y chunks to pamper your face. Although you may look monster-ish while it's on your face, you can be sure you'll look your best when it's rinsed!

  It clears al make-up and yucky clogged pores. No face scrub has ever gotten so deep down and dirty like this one when it comes to cleaning out the pores. They looked so small and my face was soft and even immediately after the first use.

  This is one heck of a scrub and you can be sure I'll be raving about it for the rest of my life. I have to admit, it's the only effective scrub I've used that didn't leave my face terribly dry and tight. I hate when products leave my skin tight and dry. The main reason I use scrubs is to help the dryness & all from tanning and just normally dry skin and nothing is worse than trying to fix it only to have it turn out worse.

  You can also use the Jojoba Clarifying Scrub on your body & I'm sure it'd make a nice foot scrub too. My face was so plump and scrubbed clean from make-up and clogged pores, and sweat. It just looked great for days.

  Incase you are wondering about the good chunky stuff in the scrub, it contains papaya, fenugreek, Jojoba beads,  and hawthorn berry. This too is Ph balanced. I think the scrub deserves a 10. A real pearl and a must-have for every skin type! I will most definitely recommend it to anyone.

 

A Miessence PeArL

My Pearl of the day…

                              Miessence Lip Crème in Plum shade.       

I have the lip creme on here! Pretty color huh?

I loved this simple little lip tint. It’s so beautiful! I normally don’t wear much lip color, but I’m a fan of Miessence’s Plum Lip Crème. It has a beautiful, but subtle tint of plum. It’s not the regular tinted chapstick, this stuff reminded me of powdered sugar when I swiped my finger across the Lip Crème.

When I put it on my lips it felt great & doesn’t smudge at all. It just gives your lips a healthy, subtle color & I honestly didn’t realize how dull mine were until I put the Lip Creme on!

In the photo, you can kind of see how the texture is on my finger. I loved that! It’s certainly unique. Unlike any lip colors, creams, or tints I’ve ever used. I’m really crazy about this stuff. I actually am wearing it now!

It doesn’t have a strong scent like lipsticks do and it didn’t leave my lips feeling dry. It also doesn’t seem to have a taste which is good because I tend to stay away from strong tasting lip stuff. This precious little pearl stays on well without the need to constantly re-apply. It leaves a really nice color lingering on your lips for quite a while.

Absolutely perfect! I love it. Couldn’t find a single con.

VOTRE VU REVIEWS

 I have ordered several thing from the Votre Vu line of skincare products. I was really unsure about paying the prices because to me, they were pretty high (some of em') and the brand isn't a popular one, or at least I hadn't ever heard of it but, I had the 3rd person ask me to do a review on a few of their products so, I forked over the cash and ordered:
the Votre Vu attentive cream for sensitive skin which is a moisturizer. It was ok. That's about all I can say. It didn't do anything special. I have really dry skin so I have to use moisturizer but this stuff didn't seem to do anything that the $3 moiturizers don't do. I wouldn't ever purchase it again.

 I also ordered the Votre Vu Tarte D'amande, rich souffle lotion type thing. It's almond pie scented and smells great but, didn't work any better than wal mart's lotion. Actually the Jergen's overnight repair and pretty much their entire line is 10x better than this Votre Vu.

 Then, I tried the eye gelee. It's for eye bags and dark circles. I hated that it didn't do a damn thing for mine and the sad part is that my eye circles and bags aren't too bad at all and it still didn't work well. I noticed no difference.

 As for the Votre Vu attentive allergic reaction serum, I have yet  to need it but, my hopes are not up.

 Then there's the Votre Vu Fleur Blanc tonic for all skin. It's a tiny spray/mist thingy and I am not exactly sure what the results were supposed to be but, once again I saw no results. The little spritz thingy though, it's kinda nice to spray on but, thats it.

 I also tried the same spritz type tube that was for hands and feet, not sure what it done either!

 Then the face mask, it was so greasy! I couldn't seem to get it off. The next day, my entire face broke out which I was sure came from this mask. I havent ever had breakouts like this and never in the areas where they came about. Needless to say, I will not buy this crap ever again! Also, I have yet to get my skin to clear up from that dang mask!

 I do not recommend. Have you used it and got better results? Please let me know :)

I love hearing from yall!

My PeArL of the day... Sunday

 My PeArL of the day today is....

           I tried the new jergens overnight repair lotion and IT'S AMAZING! I've never in my life, used a lotion that worked so well. As soon as I rubbed a small amount on my arms and legs, they looked like brand new! It made my hands so soft and it seemed to reduce the appearance of my smile lines on my face. Yes, I even used it on my face! It's for your body but, I had to try it on my face and it worked better than any facial moisturizer I've used. I think I'll continue to use it on my face. It doesn't cause breakouts and I woke up with a really nice glow.

Also, for my hands, they were still super silky even after I slept then washed them. It doesn't leave your skin greasy or sticky and it's very light. I am a big fan of bath and body works lotion, but only because of the scents. I actually hate the sticky-ness they leave behind. But, this jergens lotion doesn't do that. I also like victoria's secret's Halo body lotion and it's wonderful but, far too expensive. I would even go as far as to say that the Jergen's worked equally well, maybe even better.

And, another huge plus, it smells very good! It's not as good as some of bath and body work's scents but hay, I'd choose silky skin over scented any day. That's what perfumes for right?

You can get any of the Jergen's skincare line at most stores like Wal Mart for a good price. I have also use all of the other jergen's lotions and love them as well.
