As I mentioned previously, you’ll be seeing a few reviews and my thoughts on different StriVectin products I’ve been using over the last few months.  The StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles has been a product I have had in my possession for about 4 months now, maybe longer.  And, after using it this long – I’m finally able to share my thoughts with you on this particular product.

The StriVectin Intensive Eye Concentrate for Wrinkles (30mL / 1 fl.oz.) retails for $69.00.  The claim of the brand is that you will see visible results in just one week and will notice the reduction of fine lines, crows feet, dark circles and puffiness.  I have been using this product over the last four months (or more) in combination with some of my favorite skin care products and have included it in my skincare regimen.  Let me start by saying that I’ve been so happy with how long this tube of product has lasted me.  Since I concentrate the product on the outer corner of my eyes (crows feet area) and on and around the orbital bone area, I have noticed that a little of the product goes a long way and my tube has lasted me a long time.  Used in the morning and evening as part of my skin care routine, I gently pat the product using my ring finger around the eye area.

The cream is light weight and cream-like in texture.  When applied I noticed instantly that the area around my eye seemed much more hydrated and bright.  While I don’t really have much wrinkles, I do have fine lines and I notice that they are not as prominent as they had been.  I don’t suffer from under-eye circles or puffiness, so I didn’t notice much of a difference there, but I do notice that my eye area looks much more bright then before and my eyes look awake.

I use a lot of different skin care products in combination with those that I test out and those that I purchase and love.  I have been enjoying this product because I love how awake and how moisturized my eye area looks and feels.  Since I have naturally dry skin, many times an eye cream doesn’t provide the hydration I need from it, but I did notice that this definitely provided great moisture to my eye area.  It doesn’t provide immediate tightening of the skin near my eyes so I don’t use it specifically for that reason… but do use it to hydrate the eye area since it works so well in doing so.  Not only does it provide intense hydration for my eyes, but it doesn’t leave my eye area greasy which is a huge plus.  Using makeup after applying this product is not a challenge as others have been for me in the past.

THE SCIENCE (as stated from StriVectin)

This lightweight moisturizing formula is proven to visibly reduce the look of all types of lines around the eyes, including crow’s feet, squint lines and deep-set wrinkles – starting in just one week. Next generation ocular skin technology powerfully addresses the appearance of under-eye dark circles and puffiness to illuminate and awaken. Patented NIA-114™ technology helps strengthen delicate eye area skin and diminish dehydration.
Optical diffusers reflect light to immediately brighten dark shadows and help alleviate visible signs of screen fatigue.

This eye concentrate is a bit on the pricey side, but I think it really is a good price considered how long it has lasted me with daily use.  Of course, with anything I use – it may be a different situation with anyone else, so I may be using a lot less than someone else and therefore it may only last 30 days for someone who uses more.  Overall – it’s a product I do enjoy and have been using daily for the last several months.  Whether or not I’ll continue to purchase it like the StriVectin Multi-Action Restorative Cream, I’m not sure, but so far I’ve enjoyed this product and like what it has done for my eyes.

What about you?  Is this something you would be interested in trying and if so, what would you like this product to help reduce on your end?

Oh Em Gee!  I have absolutely been swooning over the FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil and I just had to share my thoughts on it with all of you.  Today I’m gonna share with you a little info on this product I’ve been using over the last couple of weeks.  I’ve been loving the products I’ve tried from FarmHouse Fresh so far and this body oil is no exception… so let’s share, shall we?

FarmHouse Fresh, FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil, body oil, cilantro body oil, oil, moisturizer, moisture, nourishment, body, skin care,

The FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil (4 fl. oz / 118 mL) retails for $18.00 and is 96% natural, vegan and gluten free.  I’ll be honest, I didn’t think I would enjoy this fragrance because I’m not a fan of the “cut-grass” scent, but I was completely amazed by how much I have been enjoying this body oil.  Just a note – I can’t wait to try out a few other scents in this body oil form.  The body oil has a refreshing scent and reminds me of an earthy fragrance like fresh cut herbs.  This is the perfect after-shower delight, and leaves my skin feeling soft, silky and soothing.  It’s antioxidant rich with Olive fruit and Grapeseed oils with a combination of orange peel, Jojoba, Sunflower Seed and Apricot Kernel oils that will help nourish and calm the most sensitive of skin types.

FarmHouse Fresh, FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Body Oil, body oil, cilantro body oil, oil, moisturizer, moisture, nourishment, body, skin care,

The FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Oil can be used in your bath water or you can apply it directly to your skin as a light but deeply hydrating body oil.  I prefer to apply it directly to my skin because I have dry skin and find that I can concentrate it best in the areas that need it most.  The Citrus Cilantro oil imparts wonderful benefits to the skin and help to diminish the damaging effects of sun, enhance the synthesis of healthy collagen and elastin and improve the skin’s texture.  The scent is quite intoxicating and I love that it is can be unisex so my husband can use it as well.

My favorite way to use this body oil is to apply to the dry areas on my body like my hands, feet, arms and legs or any other rough or dry spots.  It leaves my skin feeling wonderful after applied and I especially love how my skin glistens.  Since the summer months mean a lot of sun and a little bit of skin, I love the shine this oil gives my skin… it’s wonderful.

Now, if you don’t use oils on your skin (what are you waiting for???), this product may seem a bit odd to you.  But once you try oils, it will be hard to use anything else.  I love that this oil soaks into my skin and leaves it feeling so soft and hydrated.  I have naturally dry skin that’s Eczema prone and I use oils for cleansing and moisturizing on a daily.  But, I love an oil that does all of that and leaves you smelling so fragrant and looking fab.  This product includes some of my favorite oils to keep my skin looking and feeling it’s best.

I love sweet scents and it’s kind of become my signature scent over the years, but I was pleasantly amazed at how much this scent won me over.  One of my favorite fragrances to use is Malin + Goetz Dark Rum EDT and I absolutely love how the Citrus Cilantro Body Oil pairs and layers with that particular scent.  It’s wonderful.

FarmHouse Fresh has won my heart over once again with a scent and product that has captured all the things I enjoy in a body oil or in a skin care product.  I can’t wait to pick up the other products I have on my list and try out more of their body oils soon.  If you are looking for something luxurious that will offer your body some extra pampering why heightening your senses whether it be for the summer months or year round, I definitely suggest checking this product out.  When I use the FarmHouse Fresh Citrus Cilantro Oil I feel like I’m at my own personal spa and I love it!

Summer and Winter are the seasons that tend to take a beating on my lips each year.  The Summer months leave my lips chapped and dry because of the heat and humidity and the Winter months leave my lips chapped and dry and sometimes cracked because the cold tends to really dry my lips out.  Because of this I tend to really gravitate towards lip balms that I know will rescue my pout and leave it looking and feeling it’s best.  Recently I was introduced to some lip balms from Palmer’s Cocoa Butter called the FlipBalm.  Now, I’m a huge fan of Palmer’s Cocoa Butter brand and products so I was very excited and ecstatic to give these products whirl.  I have been using them now for about 3 weeks and I’m finally ready to share my thoughts of them with you.  Without further adieu, let’s learn more about the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter FlipBalm shall we?

Retailing for about $3.50 to $3.99 – the Palmer’s FlipBalm is a fun and colorful way to moisturize and hydrate those lips of ours.  Available in three delectable flavors, vibrant packaging and ingredients – you can easily find one that will work for you and help protect your pout this season or always.  The FlipBalms are available in Juicy Watermelon, Creamy Coconut and Ripe Mango.  I have the Juicy Watermelon on my desk and the Creamy Coconut in my purse, my son uses the Ripe Mango.  These cute little balms offer your lips much needed ingredients to help moisturize and protect them and they are so affordable, you could pick up each flavor if you wanted.  Let’s chit chat a little about each one, shall we?

Juicy Watermelon includes incredients like:  Natural Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E and watermelon extract to help instantly hydrate your lips and provide ultra lip moisture.  It has a sweet scent and feels really nice on the lips when applied.  With natural watermelon extract that is rich in Vitamin C to help promote cell renewal, this lip balm has been a go-to for me to use in the morning to prep my lips for other lip products like lipstick.

Creamy Coconut is probably my favorite.  With ingredients like natural cocoa butter, vitamin E and coconut oil – this makes this one a must have for me.  As many know, coconut oil is something I use in my daily skin and hair regimen and it’s my secret weapon so a product that has it makes it a must-have.  The flavor of this lip balm has a coconut sweetness and scent but it is light and I love it.  The pure coconut oil it is formulated with is packed with proteins and fatty acids to soothe dryness.  I use this lip balm particularly at night to help rejuvenate my lips from the day and also purchase one for my purse to use while on the go.

The Ripe Mango is a favorite of my eldest son.  It has a sweet tropical mango scent and flavor.  With natural mango extract that’s bursting with moisture to help prevent dryness and restore elasticity, natural cocoa butter and vitamin E, my son has been enjoying this product.  He naturally has dry lips due to his allergies and finds that this immediately soothes his lips and provides them with the much needed moisture to keep from cracking.

The Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula FlipBalms feature a revolutionalry “flip to open” packaging design for easy application with one hand.  They are so fun and genius that they even won the “Best Product Award” for the most innovative packaging at ECRM in February 2016.  This patented, award winning and one-of-a-kind flip top applicator make applying this product easy and quick so it’s perfect for on the go.

Each lip product is made with pure Cocoa Butter, raw Shea Butter and Vitamin E as well as their additional ingredients stated above.  They are clinically proven to moisturize your lips for over 8 hours and I find that I usually apply them to my lips 2-3 times a day.  Once in the morning when prepping my lips for a lip product, once in the afternoon after eating lunch (if I remember) and once before bed to protect my lips.

The FlipBalms contain ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients and are free of Parabens, Phthalates, Petrolatum and Gluten.  These little colorful pocket-sized treats will help protect and heal dry lips and come from a brand loved by consumers like myself as well as celebrities.  You get all the great benefits in a lip balm that you love, but in a tiny little package ready to take with you.

These juicy goods are available at stores like Target, Kmart. Five Below and Palmers.com – so if you spot them, I definitely suggest checking out at least one of them if not all.  If you love lip balm as much as I do – I think you’ll enjoy these as much as I have been.  I enjoyed these so much that I’ve already picked up a few for my “Give Bags” that I donate to the local shelters so that others can enjoy the benefits of this yummy tasting lip balm.

If you’ve been a reader of Honeygirl’s World a while or follow me on YouTube, then you know that for a long time I have been a fan of lip balm spheres from other brands.  The difference I’ve noticed of this particular lip balm from Palmer’s is that it is much softer on my lips when applying and it really leaves my lips instantly moisturized.  I also LOVE the flip top which makes it easier to use – I’ve had to throw out a lip balm or two because I’ve dropped my cover on the ground while trying to apply on the go.  Everything you need for this lip balm is attached so it makes applying with one hand quite easy.

Have you seen these lip balms hit your local stores yet?  If so, have you tried them or have been interested in trying them.  They are colorless so they work perfectly to use over or under any other lip product and I think you’ll surely enjoy them.

A few days ago I shared a review on my YouTube channel on the Bdellium Tools Auto Lip Crayons and I figured, why neglect the blog – I should post a review here too.  I was sent the Bdellium Tools Auto Lip Crayons as a part of Octoly – a site that I’ve been a part of but never really purchased or got products from over the years.  This was the first product I got from my Free Store and I’m glad I was able to try it – since I don’t often use much from Bdellium Tools and I didn’t know they even had makeup or cosmetics as a part of their line.

I received two colors – Pink Cadillac (a gorgeous rose hued bright fuchsia pink) and Kadooment Orange (an orange with red undertones – almost coral in shade).  Each lip crayon retails for $10.00 and Bdellium Tools offers a total of 7 shades on their website.  I would love to try the nude shades they have available because these are so great for travel or sticking in the purse for on the go.

Each lip color is soft and creamy and glide on very easily on the lips.  They are very pigmented and you get – One swipe and done, high pigment and color.  They have a matte like texture but do not leave my lips dry which is awesome and my lips feel very moisturized while wearing the lip colors.  These are not kiss proof, but they do last for quite a while if you are not eating, drinking or kissing.  I love that each lip crayon is retractable, making it really easy to use.

Each lip color is paraben and perfume free.  The lip crayons do not contain beeswax or carmine and include ingredients like shea butter to help hydrate the lips.  Each pencil has a net weight of 0.05 oz / 1.5g so you get a lot of product for a reasonable price point.  I did notice that the colors I got can settle into the lines of my lips – even if they are not drying.  I think a lot of it has to do with the color and creamy feel of the product.  While it does last on the lips, it will kiss off, rub off and will not set like a traditional matte lipstick – but they are very comfortable to wear.

Check out my video on YouTube for details and a live review.  Click here!
With the cost of drugstore makeup increasing now a days, it’s nice to see a company like Bdellium Tools offer their lip products at reasonable costs.  Let’s face it, $10.00 now a days for a lip crayon is not that bad considering there are so many on the market that are priced way more.  I’m actually impressed with the product, though I do wish it had a little more staying power on my lips – especially since I drink water consistently during the day.  I would love to try out their nude lippies and see how they match up to these that I have tried already.  I’ll definitely be checking these out.  I would love to see what other colors Bdellium Tools releases in the future.
Have you tried these lippies before or anything from Bdellium Tools?  If so, comment below and let me know.  Don’t forget to stop by my video review and show it some love!

Easy & Affordable Way to Treat Your Skin This Summer With 7th Heaven Cucumber Peel Off Mask

Have you ever tried a Peel Off Mask before?  I remember as a kid, my mom and dad used to use these masks for their weekly facials and both parents used to enjoy them.  Now a days, you can find a plethora of masks for all kinds of treatment, and I was ecstatic to try this one from 7th Heaven because it reminded me so much of my childhood.   Summer can do a double take on my skin sometimes, leaving my face especially dull and lack luster.  Because of this, I tend to use masks a lot in the summer to help hydrate, soothe and brighten my skin.  Recently I was given the opportunity to try the 7th Heaven Cucumber Peel Off Mask and today I’m sharing my thoughts with you.  This is an affordable way to treat your skin this summer so I highly suggest checking it out.

Now, I know what you’re saying… with so many masks on the market, how can you tell if one is really worth the try?  Well, I whole-heartily think that trying a fun mask packet that you can find at your local store for just about two bucks is a steal.  I love passing the end caps of my local stores like Walmart and Target to find these little packet of treasures.  I haven’t tried anything from 7th Heaven, so something that is affordable and that you can use one or two times (depending on how much you use) is a steal for me.  All 7th Heaven products are all-natural and the company is a member of BUAV/Leaping Bunny and PETA which make it ideal for anyone to use.

The Cucumber Peel Off Masks are fun, even if it was a little messy to use.  The mask is available in different types, but I tried the Cucumber one.  Application is as easy… simply take the gel like product that is in the packet and apply to your face evenly.  You want to make sure you get an even coat and layer so that it is easy to peel off once it dries.

A little note – stay away from applying it to your hair.  A few times using the mask, I had placed it over my baby hairs while in a rush and… let’s just say, OUCH!  It does pull, so I learned to take a little cool water and use that to remove the residue from my hair instead of continuing to pull it off.

Immediately after applying the mask – you will feel a bright cooling sensation.  If you have ever had a sunburn and applied fresh aloe vera to your skin – it will have a cooling feel… this is what this mask reminded me of once it was applied.  Since it has been so warm and hot this summer in Hawaii, these masks feel really good on the skin and offer a great treatment for those warm summer nights.  My skin immediately felt refreshed as the mask started to do its work.  While having the mask on, if I do talk or move my facial muscles a lot, I do notice that some parts of the mask may begin to peel, but it didn’t affect me at all.

As the mask starts to dry, you can feel a tightening of the face.  It is not an uncomfortable feeling, but you can definitely notice it.  The mask will sit on your face for 15-25 minutes and what I love the most is while it’s drying and tightening and doing its magic, I can still walk around and carry on with my business without worrying about the mask dripping or falling on me.  Since I put this on prior to bed, it allows me to clean up around the house and tidy up before hitting the sheets and I love that.

Key Ingredients Include:  Cucumber, Lime Oil and Pressed Flowers

Removing the mask is super easy and quick.  It’s also painless if you do not get it near your hair – see my warning above!  But I simply started by grabbing a corner or edge of the mask and lightly pulled to lift from my face.  Since I apply it evenly coated, it was easy to remove and there were no parts left on my skin.  Immediately after the mask is removed, I’m left with what looks like a snake skin shed from my face, it’s fun – the boys found it hilarious as I pulled it off my face and after and my skin felt great.  After removing the mask, my skin felt so fresh and clean like it was literally cleansed of all dirt and debris.  But, what I love the most is that my skin did not feel dry and stripped of it’s natural oils.  My face felt so soft and looked so much brighter than before.  Not to mention, it felt rejuvenated and fresh like I had just had a facial but without the harshness that facials can sometimes give me.

With sensitive skin, I’m always worried that certain masks will dry out my skin so much that it will cause my Eczema to flare up… or cause me to break out in some form or another.  But, this mask, while effective, really did a great job of cleansing my skin without any issues.  I’ve been able to use it once a week – once a week!  I normally can only use a mask once every two weeks before it starts to cause me any irritations so I noticed immediately how much this mask was a joy to use.

After the Cucumber Peel Off Mask was removed

I absolutely love how my face feels after using this mask.  Clean – refreshed!  It’s fun to use (fun to freak out the boys with… lol) and I love that it is so affordable.  The fact that they come in the little packets make it easy to take when traveling and I love that it is easy to use each time.  It’s a tad bit messy when applying, so I need to find a way that I can work around that.  Maybe, if I stick one of my mask brushes inside, that will help some.  But, it dries quickly – so I need to move fast.  I have my eyes on the Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask next and a few others I want to buy.  Ranging from $2.99 – $6.00 for each mask – it’s an absolute steal.

While there are so many other types of masks on the market, I can’t believe that I never tried this one before.  I’m enjoying it a lot and I’m glad I was able to share it with all of you.  Affordable, natural and cruelty-free, this mask is a good one to check out.  I know it’s available at places like Ulta, Walmart, Target and even Claire’s.
Have you tried anything from 7th Heaven before?  If so – which ones have you tried and what are your thoughts on them?  I would love to check out some of your suggestions.  These masks are perfect – especially the cucumber one, for summer!
