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.
“After using the cream for about 3 months, I have noticed my crows feet are not as prominent and my eyes look more hydrated and supple.” – Honey
Visibly reduces the look of all types of lines in the eye area
Alleviates the appearance of under-eye circles and puffiness
Brightens and diminishes 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?

I’ve been told time and time again that I have beautiful long hair and while my hair grows quickly and my hair is long, it sheds A LOT. After having my twins almost 7 years ago, I found that my hair really took a beating from the rough pregnancy I experienced. Over the years I have shed a lot of hair and while my hair grows well and grows quickly, it needed something that would really just give it a little extra love and sprinkle some magical fairy dust to get it back to what it used to be. I take all kinds of supplements and over the years I have taken specific ones for hair strengthening that included Biotin. I have enjoyed them all – but this one I’ll be talking about today, well – I can honestly say… it’s definitely my favorite tasting. Today I introduce you to the NeoCell Biotin Bursts, a gourmet biotin soft chew that the perfect dietary supplement for those who are looking for a different way to get their daily Biotin.
Now, let’s be honest here for a minute… I was immediately drawn to this product because of its packaging… hello – it’s purple. But, honestly after having tried other products from NeoCell, I knew that I would enjoy these. You can read about other reviews I posted on products from NeoCell here and here. These Biotin Bursts are the perfect soft chew for a daily supplement of Biotin which is perfect for hair, skin and nail health and they taste absolutely delicious.
I am all about taking care of your skin and hair so it’s really nice to find a product that can help with both. The NeoCell Biotin Bursts deliver high absorption beauty nutrients in delicious chews. Since Biotin is an important B Vitamin that promotes healthy hair, skin and nails as well as energy support – you’ll get great benefit with this product. The high potency formula supports the metabolism of proteins in the body creating natural energy, luxurious hair, resilient nails and vibrant skin. The fact that this product has Acai Berry added for antioxidant support and protection from free radical damage is a huge plus.
The Biotin Bursts are soy, wheat, lactose, palm oil, yeast and artificial flavor free. It is Gluten Free! You basically take one chew daily and let the product do the work. I take so many different types of medicines due to different health ailments and I certainly am not a fan of taking an additional pill to help with the strength of my hair, so I love that I can have a chew that taste great. I did mention that before, right? It really does taste great. My husband has been taking these with me and we have really enjoyed it.
Each Biotin Burst is individually wrapped and like I mentioned before, you need only take one chew daily. They taste like a berry chew and don’t have any chalky or weird after taste at all. If you are a fan of Acai berry or strawberry and blueberry mix, I think you’ll enjoy the flavors of these because it reminds me of a combination of those flavors. With 10,000 MCG of Biotin you get enough of that hair and nail supplement for daily intake. I just love that it’s so easy to take without any funky flavor, pills to swallow or yuck!
** Other ingredients: dried cane syrup, rice syrup, maltodextrin, natural flavors, sunflower lecithin, sunflower oil, malic acid, citric acid, glycerin, fruit and vegetable juice for color, stevia.
Over the last couple of months of taking this supplement, I have noticed that my hair is stronger and tangles a lot less. There is less breakage and shedding which is something I notice immediately because my hair naturally sheds a lot. In combination with some of my favorite hair products, I have noticed that my hair has really improved and over the last couple of months. Summer takes a beating on my hair and leaves it dry and brittle and I noticed with the use of the Biotin Bursts along with my other hair care faves, my hair seems to handle the Hawaii heat nicely.
NeoCell’s Biotin Bursts can be found at a variety of retailers like Vitamin World, Whole Foods & GNC. I love the convenience of shopping online, but I love that I can find products I enjoy in a store near me so I don’t have to worry about running out and waiting on a shipment. So it’s convenient to pick up at my local stores like Whole Foods. The retail for about $13 for a 30 day supply which is an awesome price! You can learn more about the product or find a location and retailer near you on their website here: http://www.neocell.com

I have been craving to try anything from Farmhouse Fresh so when they sent me their Sweet Tea Body Polish, I was so excited to give this product a try. I’m all about a great body scrub and I love one that smells divine, so when I received the box with the body polish inside, I could immediately smell the sweet fragrance that pulled me right in. Did I mention that I’m all about those sweet scents and this one, well – it definitely is a fragrance I am in love with. Today I share with you my thoughts on the FarmHouse Fresh Sweet Tea Body Polish… it’s definitely been a skin quencher this summer.
FarmHouse Fresh offers tea lovers (but not just for tea lovers) a delicious body scrub that is refreshing, nourishing and smells divine. The Sweet Tea Body Polish temps the senses with essences of ginger, peach and white tea and exfoliates the rough spots and hydrates your skin with vitamin-enriched Shea Butter. It literally reminds me of those lazy summer afternoons on the front porch, sipping sweetened ice tea. It’s a great treat for hands, feet, legs and elbows and provide the perfect pampering for your body.
The Sweet Tea Body Polish contains Shea butter, sugar, peach stone powder, Vitamin E, Beeswax and coconut water. It is available in a 12 oz jar and retailas for $34.00. The Shea Butter is fortified with natural vitamins that soothe and calm irritated skin; the micro sugar crystals and peach stone powders help remove dead skin from the surface and prep skin for the penetration of other products. The Vitamin E and coconut water allow for greater elasticity and moisture retention. The scrub’s formula is 90% natural and free of parabens, sulfates and gluten.
using the FarmHouse Fresh Sweet Tea Body Polish as part of my manicure regimen
My favorite way to use this scrub is while I’m giving myself a manicure or when my hands need a little TLC. This polish rubs nicely over my sensitive hands and sloths away all the dry skin – leaving my hands feeling wonderfully soft and moisturized.

It’s perfect on days when I need to push back my cuticles or just need a little love if I’ve been washing dishes and my hands are dry. I love that it instantly works to leave my hands feeling soft and smelling great.
I mentioned that I loved the scent of this body polish. It’s fragrance is definitely addicting. It reminds me of a sugary, vanilla scent with a hint of coconut. It reminds me of a sweet tea fragrance with a dash of coconut water. I love it and love the way my body smells after using this body polish. My skin feels soft and smooth and it’s moisturized all day without any sticky residue, weird oily feeling or anything of the sort. Once you wash off the body polish – you are left with great skin.
Since this is the first product I have tried from FarmHouse Fresh, it has me absolutely excited to get my hands on more from the line. I can’t wait to try out their other luxurious products and have a full list of them I’ve added to my shopping cart – caramel coffee, coconut beach, body milks, shea butter balms (ooh la la) and so much more. FarmHouse Fresh is an award-winning line of professional bath, body and facial care products that are repeatedly voted by spa professionals as one of the tops all natural lines in the U.S. You can purchase these products and others from FarmHouse Fresh at select spas, resorts and more or by visiting: www.farmhousefreshgoods.com.

With the summer months in full swing, my dry skin can take a huge beating and require extra moisture. No matter the season, it seems like my skin needs the extra benefits of hydration and I love turning to products that can do so for me without compromising my skin care or my makeup that I may have spent some time to put together. When I need a little extra boost of moisture, I turn to a facial spray. I have used all kinds and different brands and I’m always impressed with each in their own right, but lately I’ve been really loving the Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist and Setting Spray.
The Farmacy Skin Dew Hydrating Essence Mist & Setting Spray ($44.00 USD – 3.3 fl.oz / 97 mL) immediate caught my eye after having tried several different products from Farmacy in the past – and loving each one. The Skin Dew is formulated with Farmacy’s proprietary GreenEnvy Echinacea which you can immediately tell once you spritz or spray the product. This spray is made to hydrate the skin by toning and restoring the radiance of your skin as well as refreshing your makeup.
When it comes to hydrating mists or setting sprays, sometimes I notice that my skin looks overly dewy or greasy but I love the way my skin feels when I spray this essence on. My skin immediately feels moisturized and hydrated while eliminating the “powdery” look and feel that some of my makeup can leave my face feeling. This spray literally helps to moisturize and sooth my skin on contact and I love it.
Since I don’t use foundation or concealer daily – this works as a great refresher (especially in the morning) to really wake up and invigorate my skin without adding harsh chemicals or products that can really draw out my natural moisture. However, I found that with using this product prior to applying any BB Cream or tinted moisturizer can really help the product apply evenly and give my face a more luminous look. As a makeup setting spray – it leaves my skin looking glowy and leaves my skin looking fresh. Like I stated before, any powder products that I use on my skin looks airbrushed and doesn’t leave a powdery finish behind. While I have used many products for setting my makeup – I especially enjoy the Skin Dew because it feels wonderful on my skin, leaves my face feeling refreshed and cool and it’s not sticky – which is the biggest plus… I hate the feeling of sticky or heavy products on my skin.
So let’s chit chat about the benefits and all that important info provide by the company:
“A versatile hydrating essence mist that tones the skin, restores radiance and sets makeup.”
Powered by Echinacea GreenEnvy – A unique patent-protected variant of Echinacea Purpurea. GreenEnvy contains the highest known concentration of phytochemical Cichoric Acid which is a potent natural antioxidant which helps protect and firm the skin by inhibiting the enzymes that break down collagen. Cichoric Acid also normalizes the skin pigmentation process to promote a more evenly toned complexion. Farmacy Skin Dew is farmer cultivated and scientist activated. The distilled essence of the plant is the foundation of all Farmacy products.
The product as well as anything made and created by Farmacy includes naturally derived ingredients. The products are free of Parabens, free of Formaldehyde and free of Artificial Coloring. What I love the most is that Farmacy products are not tested on animals.
Over the last year, I have tried a handful of Farmacy products and I have really enjoyed each one, but I think the Skin Dew Setting Spray may be my favorite. It has a refreshing scent that really helps to awaken the senses, it kind of reminds me of an herbal or earthy fragrance with peppermint and rosemary. The color of the product in the bottle – that green hue, kind of freaked me out at first… but it also gave me the first impression that this product is all natural. I love the size of the bottle because it makes it easy to carry with me on the go, but still offers a lot of product since one to two spritz will cover my whole face. While the spray comes with a higher price tag than most, it really lives up to the cost in my opinion and I know it will be one that I’ll continue to repurchase when I run out.
Using the product is simple – simply hold the nozzle about eight inches from your skin and spray gently across the face. You want to start at the forehead and work down to the chin. Like I mentioned previously, use this mist to give you a vitalizing and energizing mist that helps to add the extra benefit of moisture or to refresh your makeup and use to seal in your the fresh look of your makeup when you’re done applying. This is a great spray for summer because it really feels great on the skin and smells awesome.
What about you, do you use a facial spray whether for setting your makeup or just refreshing your skin? If you do, which one do you use? Have you tried anything from Farmacy or the Farmacy Skin Dew before?
