Instanatural Moroccan Rose Water Review!

NEXT UP: Instanatural's Moroccan Rose Water.
I specifically requested to review this because I'd never used or heard of anything like it! I LOVE IT! I've seriously even got my husband using it.

This product is a GREAT toner. I like it better than your traditional toner with all the chemicals in it because it doesn't burn my skin or leave it all red. It also has a nice, fresh rosey scent to it. It gets all the dirt and crud out of your face without leaving behind anything harsh which is great for someone like me who regularly has to try out new products. 

This, like all of Instanatural's products is free of any chemicals, dyes, or artificial fragrances. It's suitable for all skin types too! I use it by applying it to my face with a cotton ball and essentially getting all the gunk off. :)

This is probably my favorite out of everything I've reviewed for them so far.

Instanatural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil Review!

Tonight I bring you a review of my new favorite oil cleanser!! It's from Instanatural and it is seriously amazing!! :) I know I probably say that about everything I review from them.. but they're a really really great brand! I actually have a few reviews from Instanatural to bring to you this evening, but I'm going to separate them this time for the sake of organization.

This oil is super gentle and removes every single bit of makeup. It leaves your skin feeling super soft and refreshed without feeling overly oily. One thing I did notice is that at first it kind of broke me out a little bit, but once I got past that, it left me completely acne and blackhead free.
I'm really glad they added this to their line too, because I already use them for pretty much everything. The bottle is pretty big too which is another bonus.
For those of you who haven't tried oil cleansing yet, it's pretty easy. The way I do it, is I use about four pumps into my dry hands and rub it into my face in circular motions. Then once I feel like its nice and in there and all my eyeliner is gone, I wash it off. BOOM done. I usually follow with some soft of serum and moisturizer too.
One MAJOR benefit of an oil cleanse vs. regular soaps is that they don't disturb the pH balance of your face. Leaving everything as it's supposed to be naturally.
This Cleansing oil has a TON of different oils in it too such as:
+ Jojoba Oil
+ Olive Oil
+ Lavendar Essential Oil
+ Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
+ Tamanu Oil
+ Hemp Oil
+ Sea Buckthorn Oil
+ Geranium Essential Oil

Eco At Heart Stainless Steel Drinking Straws Review AND GIVEAWAY!!

So the other day I got approved to test and review something that I have been wanting to try for basically EVER. I am SO SO SO excited to bring you this review because they are AMAZING!!!!!!

Today I want to tell you about these BRAND new Stainless Steel Straws from Eco at Heart. I, personally, am a straw junkie. Ever since I was a little kid I have hoarded straws. I love them. I use them in all of my drinks, so basically this was the perfect campaign for me to be a part of!!
Here's some pictures provided by the company for your viewing pleasure! :)

I seriously love these things. It is such a better and GREENER option than using regular hoarded plastic straws. PLUS you can even FREEZE them to keep your drink cold!! How awesome is that?!?! They are quite large, which makes them PERFECT for smoothies and milkshakes and other thick drinks. I use them in everything though. AND my favorite part is, and this may sound silly, but they even come with a brush to clean them with. WE ALL KNOW how hard it is to clean out straws... lol :D These are amazing, EPIC, GENIUS! And if the package I received wasn't going to last me FOREVER, I'd purchase a zillion more. I love them! AND to top it off they come with a free Ebook full of awesome recipes!!! :D What more can a smoothie/energy drink/frappuccino lover want?

I love them so much I made my own special picture in photoshop!

 LOL

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette 2 Review and Swatches!

Tonight I am going to catch up on some posts that I've been meaning to do OUTSIDE of my Tomoson posts! :) Last week I finally decided to go ahead and use up some of my Birchbox points and one of the things I bought was the Coastal  Scents Revealed 2 Palette! I received a sample of four of the colors awhile back and absolutely fell in love. There's a color in there that reminds me of my favorite Urban Decay shadow ever, so I was pretty much instantly sold!!

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about or what Birchbox is, it's a monthly subscription program where you receive higher end samples to try out and review for points. Every 10 points equals a dollar, and they add up! They also have the best customer service  out of anyone program I've ever contacted, and if they screw up, they pay you in points. It's rare, but it happens. If you're interested in learning more about Birchbox, you can look through my site for my review of my monthly boxes or visit their website HERE! You can also sign up there by using my referral link, which would be awfully sweet of you.

Anyway, on to what I purchased! Here's some pictures I took for reference!

Overall, I am THRILLED with this palette and will definitely be getting the original Revealed palette ASAP. This one has a mix of matte and shimmers, with little to no fall out. In my experience, they go on smooth and buttery, not chalky at all. They're also highly highly pigmented and blend beautifully. On to swatches!

Here's the top row, from left to right. I love all of them. They're all perfect for every season and nice and neutral, but I like that version 2 has more pink tones. I'm really into the whole cut crease thing right now so these are basically great for that, and your regular highlight colors.

Here's the bottom row from left to right. I'm really into the shimmery brown ones, since when I'm not doing a cut crease that's basically all I use. I also like the matte mauvey colors alot, and the black is great because a little goes a looong way!

Let's not forget the brushes!! If you're going to get either Coastal Scents Revealed Palette, definitely get the one with the brushes because they are AMAZING. I'm probably going to get a set of their brushes now just because they're so affordable and literally work as well as my MAC brushes. LOVE THEM!

AND last but not least here is the makeup look I spent entirely too long making for this post. I used a bunch of colors from the palette & don't really remember which ones though... my bad! :)

I never wear brown eyeliner or a nude lip, but I felt it was appropriate. If you have any questions about any of the other products I used, feel free to ask! Or maybe if my nails hold up for the post I'll just tell you. :)

One notable fact, I have a ton of acne lately, and thanks to Tomoson I found a brand new AMAZING concealer that is going to be reviewed very, very soon on here.

I used Elf's Studio Primer & Sealer as my eyeshadow base which is my new LOVE.

It makes the shadow stay on forever and perfectly matches my skintone! I love it!

This isn't the greatest photo because I look all grumpy, but It shows all the makeup. I don't normally wear all this makeup, but mostly it's alot of bronzer (Hoola & Too Faced) and blush. :) I think the eyeshadow look is a perfect transition into fall makeup, which is my favorite.

Final thoughts, I will be buying every single one of these Revealed Palettes that ever exist. I love this one and as soon as I get 200 more Birchbox points it will be mine mine mine. So again, if you want to help CLICK HERE for a referral then you can earn points to get awesome stuff like the revealed 2 palette for free too!

BUT that's not all I got with my 500 points. More on that later :)

Paradise Coconut Oil Review!

Hi everyone!! Tonight I'm bringing you a review of my NEW FAVORITE thing in the world!!! Coconut oil!! This stuff can literally be used for everything you can imagine, and I was lucky enough via Tomoson, and Theravita Paradise Coconut Oil to get a chance to try their out to review for you guys!!!

Here's a photo for your reference:

As you can probably tell from the packaging, this is a HUGE jar of coconut oil!! It's also top of the line, premium grade, 100% PURE coconut oil that can be used for everything from your skin, nails, hair, eating, and even smoothies!!! I chose to test this out on my cuticles, skin, and hair, because I feel weird about already having dipped my hands into to the product and then putting it in my mouth,

When you first scoop out some of the oil, it firm to the touch, but it instantly melts in your fingers like butter. When I used it as a cuticle oil, I simply applied it to my cuticles and it instantly left them feeling moisturized and refreshed!! 

On my skin, I actually mixed it together with my raw shea butter and tea tree oil and made my own moisturizer for my dry spots on my hands, feet, elbows, and knees. Again, it left them feeling amazing!! This stuff work GREAT as a moisturizer!!

On my hair, I used it as a deep conditioner that I basically slathered all over my hair and scalp, then left it on overnight. After I washed it out my hair felt SO ridiculously soft and wonderful. I will definitely be using this as a regular hair treatment. 

Again, there are SO many ways you can use Pure coconut oil, and I'm looking forward to trying out even more things I can do with it!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?? If so, post it in the comments!!

If you'd like to find out more about this amazing product from Theravita, CLICK HERE to visit them on Amazon.com. You can purchase it for only $19.95 right now and if you have Amazon prime you get free shipping!

Hope to hear some tips from you soon!!
