Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Serum Review!!

Tonight I'm bringing you my review of Azure Naturals Vitamin C Serum. Recently I reviewed their Retinol serum, which I really enjoyed and was happy to review this serum for them as well!!


As with their Retinol Serum, their Vitamin C serum is a high quality product. I've been using it for over a month now and have seen significant improvement in my skintone as far as evenness goes. I usually have redness in my cheeks and I think since I've been using this with their Retinol serum my skin is doing much better than it previously was. Once it dries, you can feel your skin become tighter, but you have to make sure and moisturize right away or it will get a little dried out.
The only issue I had with this product, is that when I first started using it, it burned a little when I first applied it. This could have been because of some of the other treatments I'd used prior though, so you'd have to try it out for yourself to see if it does the same thing. This is different from alot of the C serums I've tried because it has Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E in it and in my opinion you can really tell a difference!

AND surprise! I have a FLASH giveaway of this product for you guys that will only be running until tomorrow night! This is open to U.S. only at this time. Good luck!

Australian Tea Tree Oil Review!

Recently I got a chance to try out some 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree oil, and oh my god is it AMAZING. Until this, I'd only tried out products that had tea tree oil in them, and this seriously changed my life. You can use tea tree oil on basically EVERYTHING, and I chose to use it on acne, bug bites, and to clear up some dry spots on my scalp.
Here's a picture for your reference!

To start, there are like a million ways you can use tea tree oil. You can use it from everything to healing cuts, for a cold, to kill head lice, to a household cleaner. This Pure tea tree oil that I received from Apothecary Extracts is POTENT. Seriously, you only need a drop or two to get the job done. The bottle itself is pretty HUGE and will probably last me over a year since you need so little. According to what I've looked up, it's also packaged in the correct way, which is in a darkened bottle, since it has to be in a dark bottle to stay fresh!
I have big plans for this tea tree oil too. I'm planning on mixing it with my conditioner to make one for dandruff, since my favorite conditioner is Paul Mitchell's tea tree conditioner and shampoo. I LOVE the way Tea Tree smells, so this will be great for me.

When I used it on my mosquito bites, it instantly made them stop itching, and it seemed to get rid of them faster. On my acne it dried them up within a day, which is awesome since I've tried a million and a half ways to curb my acne lately. This is probably what I'm going to use for it forever, and I wish I'd known about it before!! As for my scalp, I'm a notorious skin picker, and this cleared up all the imperfections which is what bothers me the most.

Overall I give this tea tree oil a million thumbs up and I will definitely be purchasing it again whenever I run out. I plan on making some household cleaners too, to see what all the fuss is about!

GRATiaE Cosmetics Review PLUS Giveaway!!

Tonight I'm bringing you a review of some amazing products I got a chance to try courtesy of GRATiAE Cosmetics, which, I believe is owned by Primer Dead Sea, who I reviewed some things from in the past and LOVE. Via Tomoson, I was sent their Renewing Moisutizer Cream, Passion Fruit and Lime Body Butter, and Salt Scrub. I'm really excited I got the chance to test them out because they are absolutely AMAZING!!

First, I want to review their Renewing Moisturizing Cream! This is seriously probably the best moisturizer I've ever, EVER used. It goes on incredibly smooth and leaves your face feeling literally like silk. Here's a picture for your reference.
This product comes in a pretty large container, and is packaged really nicely. The package I received from the company contained all KINDS of information about the products too, which is definitely a nice touch. It even had a bag with it and everything. Just like I had purchased it from the store. I give them and A++++ on their packaging. Top notch for sure. 
Back to this amazing moisturizer though. It kind of has the same scent as the body butter and salt scrub that I received, but much much lighter. If you're sensitive to products with scents in them, then this may not be the best moisturizer for you. I, however, am not and LOVE LOVE LOVE this. I use it morning and night along with an eye cream vitamin C serum, and my face has never felt more smooth. I would DEFINITELY repurchase this item.

Next, I want to talk about their body butter. First of all this Passion Fruit and Lime scent is amazing. It's fresh, but not too fruity and fake smelling, which I really really like. It's a great compliment to the salt scrub, and I usually use it right after the shower after I've exfoliated with the scrub. Here's a photo of the duo!
On the left is the salt scrub and on the right is the body butter. They come in the cutest little gold round containers, and the salt scrub even comes with a little spoon so you can scoop it out without getting it all wet and ruining it. These also were packed amazingly well, and I'm all for a company that provides not only a great product, but great packaging. 
The body butter leaves you skin smelling AMAZING, and feeling super smooth and not dry at all, even though I've just exfoliated with the scrub.
The Salt Scrub is just as amazing as the other two products. It seriously removes like every bit of dry skin on my body, and left it feeling more exfoliated than any other product I've ever tried. It has the same Passion Fruit and Lime scent as the Body Butter, which again, isn't too heavy or artificial. I LOVE this Body Scrub!! 

You can purchase the moisturizer HERE on their website for $129.99.
The Salt Scrub and Body Butter DUO HERE for $54.99.

These are a little on the expensive side, but definitely WELL, WELL worth the price tag, as they are basically the most amazing things I've ever used. I'd definitely be interested in trying more of their products, and they have TONS! :)

NOW on to the GIVEAWAY!! 
**NOTE This is only open to the U.S. at this time, and will only be open for ONE DAY, as I'm pretty late getting this review done and need to get the results back to the company ASAP!**

Good luck!
