Instanatural Double Review!

Hi everyone!!! Sorry it's been a bit since I've posted anything, but I was pretty sick for about a week!! Today I'm bringing you another review of some Instanatural products that I got a chance to try recently.
As you may already know, Instanatural is definitely one of my favorite all natural skincare lines, so I always jump at the chance to try out their new products!

Recently, they introduced a bunch of things as well as a new label, which I really like. I have more stuff to review aside from these two actually, but that's for later.

Up first is their Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) Moisturizer Cream.
I've been using this for a few weeks now, and really like it so far. While I haven't seen any pigmentation changes in my face, it has definitely decreased my acne, while leaving my skin nice and moisturized. This cream is supposed to tighten, lighten, plump, and moisturize the skin, while decreasing acne. You only need a little bit of it for it to do the job, otherwise you'll get too much on your face and it will be really sticky and gross. This bottle will last me forever! It's a great product for sure. One of the best serums I've tried so far, and I've tried a TON!

If you'd like to find out more about it or purchase, please visit Instanatural on Amazon HERE.

Next, is probably the most amazing Instanatural product I've tried yet! I've tried almost their entire line, but this one really takes the cake!
Meet their Argan Oil hair mask!
And Ingredients!
Like I said, this one is AMAZING. If you read my blog regularly, you already know that my hair is super fried. My uncle recently dyed it actually, and said it was the most damaged hair he'd ever seen. lol So I'm obviously all for anything that will give my hair some life again.
I have tried other argan oil hair masks in the past and had no luck. I had to leave them on forever, they smelled wretched, and did nothing except make my hair feel dry and grosser than it already does. 
This one, however is definitely different. First of all, it smells AMAZING. Like this is probably the most amazing smelling conditioner I've ever used. It reminds me of this body butter that I used to have from Bath & Body Works like years ago that they don't make anymore. A really sweet, cocoa buttery, smooth and nice smell that lingers on my hair after a shower. LOVE it. 
It leaves my hair feeling super soft and actually having moisture to it. It contains not only argan oil, but an amino acid complex, coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin B5, green tea, and jojoba oil. TONS of AWESOME all natural stuff for your hair to soak in! 

If you'd like to find out more or purchase this one, which I HIGHLY recommend, CLICK HERE!

Later!

UNi 100% Argan Oil Review


This evening I have a quick, but unfortunately really late, review of a product called UNi Argan Oil. I thought I'd published it, but apparently not.


I've tried a few different argan oils lately through Tomoson, and this one definitely works really well. This product is excellent for deep treatments as well as a cuticle oil! And we all know my cuticles always need help. A little bit definitely goes a long way though,  the first time I used it my hair was super greasy. Lol live and learn! It's a super rich and moisturizing product, that's for sure!

The packaging is pleasant. It comes in a smaller sized brown bottle with simple, yet classy writing on it. The dropper works well, since the bottle is smaller you can usually gauge how much you need but just one squeeze of the dropper.

The only problem I really have with UNi argan oil is that it kind of smells horrible. At first it I thought it was just me, but I asked my husband and he was like oh my god what is that. It does still perform really well though, so I'd suggest using it as a cuticle oil with lotion after to hide the scent, or as a deep treatment that you can wash out of your hair so it doesn't smell weird the rest of the day.

That begin said, do take into account that some 100% Argan oils can have a weird smell to them. Most I've tried are nutty smelling though. But you can try this one for yourself and see what you think!
I'd definitely repurchase, and if you like to learn more or purchase CLICK HERE!!!

My apologies for the late review!!!  I had written this up over two weeks ago.  :( More to come this evening!

Pure & Essential Minerals Organic Morocco Argan Oil Hair Treatment Review

My next review is of yet another product I received via Tomoson to try. This one is from Pure & Essential Minerals, which I got to try another product from not too long ago. The Dead Sea Mud mask I got to try was amazing. Unfortunately, however, this product was a serious miss for me.
*Photo courtesy of Pure & Essential Minerals*

I had a couple issues with this product, and I really did want to love it. It may be that my hair is so fried from being bleached so many times that it just didn't work for me. 
First of all the instructions say to leave it on as a conditioner or 5-15 minutes which is like a crazy long time for me. After not seeing any results from the 5 minute treatment, I tried for 20, and still nothing....
My other issue is that its kind of difficult to use while in the shower. You have to scoop it out of the container, and I think it would be much better if you could like... squeeze it out.. that way you don't get water all up in the container like I did. 
I had to use an insane amount of product to cover my entire hair, so this is probably the first thing I've reviewed that I've actually used all of only a month or so after receiving it.
Lastly, it has kind of a weird smell to it... It's really plain, and I like for my hair to smell amazing after a shower, not plain, so this just wasn't for me.

That being said, however, the other product I tried from this company was AMAZING, so this might work for you, just not me. If you'd like to find out more info on this or to purchase, CLICK HERE.

Until later,

HSI Professional Argan Oil Leave in Review

Okay one more post for tonight and I'm posting like two tomorrow!
I've been SUPER excited about this product for like almost a month now, and am THRILLED to be reviewing it. Through Tomoson, I got the chance to try out HSI Professional's Leave in Treatment with Argan oil! I THINK Ipsy sent out samples of this awhile back and I was bummed I didn't get to try it. If you're unfamiliar with it, its like an Argan oil, except it is for your hair and smells amazing. Here's what it looks like.
This stuff is seriously magic in a bottle. It keeps my dry, bleached, damaged hair frizz free in the Tennessee humidity ALL day long, plus like I said it smells amazing. It's an excellent heat protector for your hair too if you frequently straighten it like I do. I honestly don't think there's anything I DON'T like about it except that you have to pour it into your hand. I wish it had a pump or a dropper. Other than that though, this stuff is a miracle. It makes my hair so so soft and finally manageable, and if you have dry, frizzy, or damaged hair, I HIGHLY recommend it. 

The ingredients are as followed:
"Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Oil, Fragrance, D&C Red # 17, D&C Yellow #11, Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate, Amyl Cinnamal, Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal."

This product is designed to protect your hair from heat, while leaving it soft and shiny, and it does exactly this. It is SERIOUSLY amazing, and if you'd like to pick some up for yourself I have some coupon codes or you!

Visit HSI Professional's site BY CLICKING HERE, or click the corresponding coupon code link above!

Seriously this stuff is great and these coupons are KILLER! It's a must have, and I see myself using it for years!

Argan Alchemy Argan Oil Review!

So today I bring to you a review of an awesome argan oil that I've been testing out or awhile now. It's from Argan Alchemy and it is EXCELLENT! Last night I did a deep treatment on my hair and it feels amazing.
The best part about this argan oil, is that is it 100% pure, cold pressed and imported from Morocco! It's also 100% ORGANIC and you can tell! It has a kind of... nutty smell to it, but it isn't unpleasant. A little also goes a LONG way. Up until last night, I'd only used it to add shine to my hair, but after the deep treatment I did, my hair feels AMAZING. I basically soaked my hair in it, and left it on all night, then washed it out. My hair is so so so soft now, and usually when it's wet it feels like stringy, stretchy, and awful. It finally feels like hair again and not a fried out mess. I'd recommend this product to ANYONE with damaged hair. It is excellent. 
For those of you who don't know all that much about argan oil, you can use it for all sorts of things from a hair moisturizer, to hand and nail care, to a face moisturizer. You can also use it on stretch marks and it's supposed to help reduce those as well. Argan oil is great for inflammation, and can be used on acne, eczema, and even psoriasis to calm the skin. This product is definitely a good example of a product that is well made, as it has no additives what so ever, just pure 100% argan oil. 
Best Part: Argan Alchemy comes with a 100% money back guarantee. If you aren't satisfied after 30 days, you can return the product.
If you'd like to find out more information about this product or purchase, you can CLICK HERE
AND I have a coupon code for you so you can receive $5 off your purchase at Amazon!
The code is GLFV45YX  Just enter it at checkout! 

Until next time, Xx Ashley C.

Instanatural Multi-Product Review!!!

Recently I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to review a BUNCH of items from a brand called Instanatural. This is QUICKLY becoming pretty much my FAVORITE brand of skincare products, and I have decided to consolidate all my reviews into one big one so they're easier to find.

First, here's a little bit of a rundown of who Instanatural is and what they do.
Instanatural is a company that started off in Florida as a super small business providing all natural skincare products. They use ALL natural ingredients in everything they make, and everything I've tried thus far is EXCELLENT. Everything is high quality and they have GREAT customer service, as well as a 90 day 100% money back guarantee on everything they make. They're also CRUELTY FREE!
So far, I've gotten to try emu oil, hyaluronic acid serum, moisturizer, argan oil + coconut and jojoba oil, and eye cream, and I love every single one of them!

First up is their Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Until I received this from Instanatural, I hadn't even heard of this product. I guess I must be behind the times on my skincare regime. I'm glad I got the chance to review it though! It's great! Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure.
This product, in my opinion is amazing! It is super moisturizing, and leaves my skin feeling super refreshed. The added green tea that is in it is my favorite part. It makes my dark circles basically disappear, and I love it! I love that it's all natural and I don't have to worry about it having any weird ingredients in it that will break out my face. ALSO, the bottle itself is HUGE and a little bit goes a long way, so this is going to last me basically forever. You can pick it up from Instanatural HERE, it's on sale for only $15.95 and also find out more information. 

The next product I want to tell you about is their moisturizer. I've been using it for about two weeks now, and even after a vacation to the beach and getting sun burnt, I'm not peeling at all. I prefer to use it in the morning versus at night, because I feel like something in it wakes me up. It is scented, but it smells kind of reminiscent of like.... cucumbers or something. It is for all skin types from oily, to normal, to dry and has tons of extra ingredients for anti-aging. Like I've said before, I may be only 25, but I will make SURE that I have as little wrinkles as possible before I turn 30, and this moisturizer is going to be my new go to FOR SURE. It is non oily on the skin, and sinks in super fast, which is great or someone like me who uses it under makeup. 
Here's a picture!
Another great thing about this moisturizer is that the bottle is 3.4oz and HUGE! It duals as a hand cream and eye cream as well, and I love multi-use products! To purchase and find out more, CLICK HERE! It's on sale for $21.95 right now and you can get a percentage off if you purchase multiples of their products!

SPEAKING of eye creams, Instanatural ALSO has given me the opportunity to test out theirs! I love it EVEN more than I love the moisturizer. It gets rid of ALL puffiness and dark circles and works excellent underneath makeup. I let a friend of mine test it as well, and he has seen GREAT results. Within two weeks he has zero puffiness and diminished fine lines. Here's a picture of it!
I've tried tons of eyecreams lately, and this is by far the best one I've used. It makes you feel awake in the morning and super refreshed!! If you would like to purchase or find out more CLICK HERE! It's on sale for only $25.95 and is worth every penny!

Last, but certainly not least is their Argan oil. Not only is it argan oil, however, it also has jojoba oil, AND coconut oil, along with tons of other awesome ingredients. I've been using it regularly on my hair as a deep conditioner, and have already seen results. My hair, by the way is bleached like white, and after four bleachings total, this is exactly what it needed. It's great as a heat protector when I straighten my hair, and I am probably going to be testing this bad boy out as a moisturizer and on my stretch marks to see if it helps my skin! It also makes my hair SUPER shiny without looking oily at all. It's an EXCELLENT elixer, and I probably will never go back to using regular argan oil! Here's a picture of this wonderful product!

Finally, if you'd like to find out more or purchase CLICK HERE. It's on sale for $15.95! 

SO, that is my massive instanatural review. I sincerely love every single product of theirs that I've tried, and have had so much fun working with them! I hope to bring you more of their products very soon!

And for my readers, I have TONS of reviews coming your way this week, and at least one more giveaway, so be on the lookout!!

Later!
