Snowberry Skin care

When I read about SnowBerry Skin care I knew I wanted to try it. It is skin care from New Zealand that was born of necessity. The founder and cosmetician Soraya Hendeis said she was simply unable to find skin care she felt she could trust.  I was so excited when I got a chance to review a few products for y'all.

Since she was unable to find the skin care she wanted for herself she set out to create something entirely new. She waned skin care that would make no compromises - not in functionality or safety, nor in the inclusion of optimum quantities of the finest bio active ingredients obtainable anywhere in the world. She was determined to create an uncomplicated system of natural beauty care that worked.

Based the website's recommendations for my oily/combination skin the chose the Nourishing Exfoliator, Instant Deep Cleanser, and Gentle Remineralising Toner. All of them have no lauryl sulphates, petrachemicals, propylene or butylene Glycals, valatile alcohols silicones, DEA or MEA ingredients. They are dermatologist tested and NOT tested on animals.

The Gentle Remineraliing toner is different from any toner I have used before. This one is a gel that lathers into a foam then you wash it off.  It lathers nicely and leave my face feeling clean with no sticky residue. I used it after my cleanser and just applied my moisturizer over it. It is a medium consistency with a light scent. I really like it and since it is a combination product that tones and cleanses at the same time.  Unless you have a heavy amount of make this product is all you need to cleanse your face so it's also a time saver!

The Instant Deep Cleanser, is you guessed it, a liquid facial soap.  It's a thin consistency and also has a light smell. It doesn't lather very much which is a little off putting to me. I associate lather with cleaning so in my mind my face is not getting clean. That is probably not true at all but that is my opinion. That being said, after use my face feel soft without any stickiness. It is recommended to use the Instant Deep Cleanser in the evening because it excels at removing makeup and the Remineralising toner in the morning.

The Nourishing Exfoliator is a very gentle exfoliating cream.   Of course being an exfoliator it has beads, the beads are very effect because you can feel them scrubbing yet they are gentle.  It works into a slight lather and the beds slowly dissolve the entire time it feels like it is moisturizing while exfoliating. It has a very pleasant light smell. I love this exfoliator it my favorite of the three.

There are lots of amazing products available on their site so go check them out. Like them on FaceBook for tips and new releases. Who knows maybe even a giveaway or two?

I received this products complimentary in exchange for an honest uncompensated review but the opinion is all mine. I only recommend products that I feel are good for my readers. 

SUPREME Brightening And Pore Clarifying Cleansing Foam Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I started using foam soap for my hands when I realized how soft it made my skin. I didn't know there was  foam cleanser for my face until I was chosen to review Supreme Brightening and Pore Clarifying Cleansing Foam from Premier Dead Sea.

The cleansing foam is made to brighten your complexion and is enriched with fruit acids and Dead Sea minerals. It gently removes impurities and excess dead skin cells to tight pores, clarify, and enhance the skin. It is recommended for all skin types.

The dispenser is easy to use and all it take is two pumps to give you enough of the foam to wash your face and neck.   The cleanser comes out as a light weight white foam and when you wash your face with it. It lathers nicely and feels silky and smooth.

It leaves my face clean but soft with no tightness. I have used it twice a day for a week or so now and I call it silk in a bottle. I haven't experienced many things that feel so good while using it and still leave your skin feeling great after use. I love the idea that it is a foam and for some reason my skin reacts better to foam soaps.

I love the extremely light but very pleasant smell . I have noticed my skin is smoother and brighter without the oiliness that I have experienced with other skin care products.  Of course I used it in combination with a moisturizer. But my skin does not get oily throughout the day nor does it get tight and dry feeling.

I like it so much I would purchase this cleansing foam in the future. If you want to check Premier Dead Sea out they have lots of other products that look amazing.

Nutra-Lift® Glycolic NonSoap Cleanser

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was recently chosen to review a Glycolic Non-Soap Cleanser and if you are like me you are wondering what that is. Well it is a gel that has amazing natural ingredients like rose hips, lemon and grapefruit seeds, and chamomile. It also has anti-aging agents and anti-oxidants which have all kind of benefits.

It is formulated to remove all traces of makeup, gently and effectively exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, and pore blockage for a smoother healthier, more radiant skin. It is recommended for mature, oily, or problematic skin. It can be used on normal skin bi-biweekly as a refreshing cleanse and exfoliation.  So anyone can treat themselves and rescue their skin from ravages of daily life that prematurely deprive it from a youthful vibrant glow.

It has a light smell that is neither pleasant or unpleasant if that makes sense. It's a clear gel with a pretty thick consistency. It doesn't lather a lot but just enough to make me feel like I'm cleaning my face. My face feel clean after use and it's not a drying cleanser so my face doesn't feel tight or dry.

To be perfectly honest there is nothing about this Non-soap cleanser that stands out for me. I like it but I'm not sure if I would purchase it again.

Bella Pulse review and GIVEAWAY

I have always wanted to try a facial cleaning system but I hate to spend that kind of money and not know if I'm going to like it.  So when I got to review a Bella Pulse from SkinPro I cut  few back flips. The kit comes with the system, 2 brushes one cleansing one exfoliating, a sponge, a massage head, Rose Hip Seed Cleanser, AHA Exfoliating Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer. So it includes everything that I needed to get started. The heads are easily changed they just snap on and off.

That evening I ripped it open and grabbed a brush.  I had a hard time deciding which brush was the cleaner and which brush was the exfoliating brush but I really didn't matter. I used the exfoliating cleanser first, the directions say use a dime size amount but I'm a rebel so I used more of a nickle size.  I turned the brush on and put it against may face. It was so invigorating with the pulsing it made the cleanser lather wonderfully. My face felt amazing clean with absolutely no irritation.

Then I put a small amount of moisturizer on the sponge dabbed it on my face then turned the Bella Pulse on. I could feel it working the moisturizer into my skin. It also made my face feel so refreshed. The moisturizer is a thick white constancy and is slightly heavy but it's not overwhelming or uncomfortable. I can wear it under my make up with no pealing, flaking or annoyance.

When I tried the Rose Hip Seed Cleanser I was intoxicated by the smell. I'm sure you can guess it smelled just like roses. I have this fascination with roses and love the smell so I immediately feel in love. I used a small amount and cleaned my face this cleanser lather amazingly as well and made my face feel unbelievable.

The Rose Hip is for morning use and the Exfoliating Cleanser is for evening use. The instructions say remove eye makeup but I have always removed all of my make up before using the system.  I have one bad habit I get so caught up with the system I forget to use my toner but I never missed it.

I have never had a facial but I can imagine this is how it would feel. So I have the pleasure of getting a facial every day twice a day in  my own home. Boy does my face thank me!

Bioque Cleanser and ReFinisher Review and giveaway

Skin care is the most important beauty regimen you can do because without the proper skin care no amount or brand of makeup will be effective. It has been said by experts time and time again skin care products are one thing you should splurge on. That really makes sense to me, you can't get more skin. There are procedures to correct damage but if you can prevent needing them why wouldn't you? Bioque recently sent a gentle Skin Purifying Cleanser and Skin Refinisher for my review.

The Skin Purifying Cleanser is a paraben/sulfate-free facial wash. The site says it is the "ultimate cleanser for all skin types. " As with all cleansers I used this twice a day. It smells is amazing with the soft scent of oranges. The consistency is perfect because when you squeeze out a dime size amount (that is the recommended amount) it doesn't run out of your hand, but it's not extremely thick. It lathers wonderfully which makes it super easy to rub onto your face. It didn't dry my face out after using either. I have had facial cleanser that literally had me running for the moisturizer.

The Skin Refinisher is a facial scrub the site says it "provides smoothing exfoliation of discarded skin cells to help achieve a more youthful appearance." This is one of the most gentle facial scrubs I have ever used. The scrubbing beads are big enough to be effective but small enough not to irritate the skin. This product also had the amazing soft scent of oranges while using it. The exfoliator I used before so so thick, almost chunky and that made it hard to spread.  This one was not like that it was a great consistency and very easy to spread. Just like with an exfoliator you massage into your skin for a few minutes then was clean. Bioque recommends using the Skin Re-finisher at LEAST once a week.  I have used it more often without irritation.

I have been using the two for about a week now and my skin feels great. All I do is use the cleanser twice a day and the refinisher every other day, then follow with my usual toner and moisturizer.

The Cleanser sells for $18.00 and the Refinisher sells for $22.00 so if you want to order either (or both) of these products here is a link to the site. Bioque also has lots of other amazing skin care products. Those prices are not exactly splurge prices, I have paid a lot more for my skin care. You also get free samples of other products with your order and they offer a 60 day money back guarantee, so what have you got to lose?

Now for the giveaway rules!! One winner will be chosen at random through the RaffelCopter. This giveaway is open to US residence only, sorry!! alwaysblabbing is not responsible for sending prizes to the winner and someone from Bioque will contact you for your mailing information. Good luck!
