My PeArL of the day - A lovely sunflower body wash

                   ~SUNFLOWER BODY WASH~

 As you may have read in my previous post, I've been reviewing & loving the Miessence bath and body product. Today, my PeArL of the day is the Sunflower Body Wash.

 With the first sniff, I thought it smelled just like lemon meringue, I took another sniff & it smelled like lime, and another sniff I kind of got a light vanilla smell. It smelled so good! As I got to reading the back label on the body wash, I saw that there is lemon and lime peels in the ingredients. I guess that's why I was smelling the lemon and lime. I loved the scent.

                                               TEXTURE

 The Sunflower Body Wash is a kind of thick texture, very creamy. Like most of their wonderful items, I can stick my finger in the liquid and pull it right out without anything dripping off. Just a few small drops is enough to clean your whole body so I can see it lasting a good while. I like the light silky texture of it. I like even more that it's very good for your skin, mine soaks everything up and I can see a difference in how my skin looks.

DOWN TO THE BASICS:

PROS:

- The Sunflower Body Wash smells great.
- It gets you clean.
- Vegan product.
- Safe for babies/children.
- Contains no chemical ingredients.
- It has a pretty silk texture when rubbing on skin.
- Leaves skin so soft and healthy.
- The Sunflower Body Wash (as well as the other products combined) has rejuvenated and livened my skin up in a way that I didn't know was possible.
- Brings out a beautiful glow all over body.
- I thought the body wash was extremely hydrating! I really love how hydrating their products are. I'm like a new person, with new skin and all!
- All of my dry, irritated, blotchy, red, inflamed area have totally been relieved and I show no signs of them at all!


TIPS:
After using the Sunflower Body wash, I used the Body Milk (you can read about it in my previous Miessence posts) With the Body Milk applied immediately after my shower and after using the Body Wash, my skin felt like velvet! It also made my hands feel wonderful!

  Overall, I totally love it. No cons. Nothing at all negative about the product. I would absolutely recommend it to anybody with any skin type, including children. These are all my own opinions and I believe that the products are made with some of the most amazing ingredients.

White Chocolate for your face!

MONTAGNE JEUNESEE WHITE CHOCOLATE FACIAL MASK -                                                                                                               
Photobucket
Since I'll be doing a lot of reviews on the different Montagne Jeunesse facial masks, I thought I'd give you a little bit of info about what they have to offer.

- Men and women's facial products
- Natural ingredients and healing ingredients
-Great prices!
- Fabric facial masks
- The masks come with different ingredients to meet your specific needs. These include: Blemish prone skin, combination skin, dry skin, oily skin, mature, normal and sensitive skin.
- You can click on your specific skin type on their site to bring up the products for your need.
- You can find body and feet care, hair care and hair masks, etc.
- Montagne Juenesse also has under eye patches for tired eyes, anti-wrinkle and anti-puffy.
- Lip care
- Some of the different masks include self heating masks, tonics, peel offs, exfolliating properties, etc.

Now that's a pretty long list of really fantastic things. I must say, I'm highly impressed with these products, not to mention for such awesome prices!


The White Chocolate Mask is really nice. At first I didn't expect it to smell like white chocolate, but it definitely does! These masks are NOT edible. Keep that in mind.

The White Chocolate Mask is very rich, super creamy texture that does feel similar to melted white chocolate. It goes on beautifully on the face and feels wonderful. I felt a slight cooling sensation and my skin was incredibly smooth and squishy-like after using. I applied generously with a very thick layer and still had enough left over for a second use. I applied it before taking a shower and when it dried, I showered and rinsed. It's great for unclogging pores. I could even see this being really amazing on other parts of the body. Something about the creamy texture makes me want to rub it all over! I just may try that this week!

My pores were so tiny and barely noticeable after using and I didn't need any lotion or moisturizer as this baby really left everything perfectly soft, smooth and non greasy.

This product is gluten free and contains no parabens. Kudos for that! It's also dairy free.

The 'active ingredients' in this mask are:


Almond, Cocoa Butter, Cream, Jojoba and Shea Butter. No wonder everything's so soft and smooth!
A few notes:
The cocoa seed used are both Organic and Fair Trade certified.
Shea Butter contains Vitamin E which restores skin elasticity and moisurizes.
The White Chocolate Mask is suitable for Normal, combination and dry skin and I definitely recommend it for dry skin. Mine's super dry and this stuff was like a miracle for mine. I think this would be fine to use on the body as well and I'm really getting antsy about trying that. I bet my legs would love it!
Apply the mask to the face avoiding eyes and mouth. Be sure to check the ingredients if you are aware of any skin allergies. This goes for every skin care product! You cannot eat the lovely, delicious smelling face mask!
You can also get the delicious chocolate masks as well and keep in mind they also have masks for the hair too. I'm dying to try those!
