Review: KISS InstaWave

I love the look of my hair when it's curled, but I hate the time it takes to curl it. Normally it takes me well over an hour to curl and style my hair, but with the KISS InstaWave it takes me less than a half hour. I got the chance to try out and review the KISS InstaWave, and it's made my life so much easier!

The KISS InstaWave is a fully automatic tangle free curler that instantly creates perfect beachy waves or spiral ringlets with the touch of a button. This curler is amazing, because it's easy for anyone to use with any hand and from any angle. 

The KISS InstaWave features two heat levels low and high, the high setting reaches 420 degrees! I appreciate the fact that this curler gets so hot because I have very hard to curl hair. This curler will also automatically shut off after 90 minutes which is great because I know at one point or another we've all forgotten to turn off our curling irons. The KISS InstaWave also features a curl dial, simply press the button left or right and it will automatically curl your hair in that direction. *Hint* if you alternate the curl direction it will give you more natural looking voluminous curls.

This picture shows what my hair looked like before using the KISS InstaWave. It was very frizzy, straight, and boring.

How to use the KISS InstaWave:

• Hold the KISS InstaWave vertically. Take a 1 inch section of hair and brush it out. Place it on the InstaWave curling rod.

• Touch the curl dial and press either left or right, the InstaWave will automatically catch your hair in the rods and it will wrap your hair perfectly around the iron for you.
• Hold your hair there for 5-10 seconds depending on the type of curls you wish to achieve. Hold 5 seconds for more loose beachy waves, and up to 10 seconds for tighter ringlets.
• Pull the KISS InstaWave straight down, it will release your hair and you will have a perfect curl!
• *another tip* For curls that last all day and night: put your hair in pin curls until it cools. 

This is my hair up in pin curls

This is my hair immediately after letting it down from the pin curls. The KISS InstaWave gave me perfect spiral ringlets.

My hair was super shiny and bouncy after using the KISS InstaWave.

This is what my hair looked like after running my fingers through the curls. I like my hair to be curled, but not too spiraled. 

This is what my hair looked like after brushing through the cooled curls. I absolute love how the KISS InstaWave worked with my hair. It took me under 30 minutes to completely curl and style my hair, and I was left with shiny, bouncy curls. My hair never got caught or jammed in the KISS InstaWave, and best of all it does all the work for you!

Review: Beauty Oils.Co Rosehip Oil

I suffer from extremely dry skin, especially in the colder months, so I am always looking for the best product to hydrate my skin. Lately, the product I've been reaching for the most is BeautyOils.Co 100% pure Rosehip oil. Rosehip Oil has many great benefits for the skin, and I find it hydrates my skin perfectly without leaving any kind of oily feeling.

What are the benefits of Rosehip Oil for my skin?

•  Rosehip Oil contains Vitamin A, which is a great natural exfoliant for the skin. It will exfoliate your skin from the inside out reducing the appearance of dark spots, wrinkles, acne, and acne scars. It will also help brighten and improve the overall texture of your skin.
• It also contains Vitamin C which is a great antioxidant so it will fight free radical damage, reducing the signs of aging.
• Rosehip oil will sink into your pores and hydrate leaving it soft and supple without leaving any oily residue. I also notice that my skin looks more radiant after using this oil.

As another bonus, try using the BeautyOils.Co Rosehip oil on your cuticles to moisturize your nails, or in your hair to smooth flyaways!

The BeautyOils.co Rosehip oil comes in a dark container which protects it from the light, and it has a cap so you don't overuse the product. I also don't notice much scent to this product at all, it has a light scent but nothing overpowering.

I absolutely love the BeautyOils.Co 100% pure Rosehip oil. This has been a wonderful step in my skincare routine. I recently had a Micropeel done on my skin, and it left it scabbed and extra dry, using this oil as a final step in my routine has made my skin heal nicely, and it isn't dry feeling at all anymore. I recommend using this oil if you have very dry, dry, or even combination skin. If you have oily skin, it may not be so great for you, but you should still use it on your hair and nails!

Review: Body Merry Stretch Mark and Scars Defense Cream

As an Esthetician, I'm always trying out new products to see how they work with my skin. I'm very proactive in my skincare routine because my skin does scar very easily, so when I got the chance to try the Body Merry Stretch mark and Scars Defense Cream I was very happy.

The Body Merry Stretch Mark and Scars Defense Cream helps heal and diminish the look of old and new Stretch Marks and Scars. It is made of natural ingredients and contains no harsh chemicals which I love! The cream itself is a body butter consistency, and works extremely well at hydrating the skin, I actually use this all over my body for added moisture. 

The Body Merry Stretch Mark and Scars Defense Cream contains Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter to hydrate your skin, Vitamin E to heal and moisturize, Vitamin C to brighten and tone and to build collagen in your skin. I absolutely love how this cream feels on my skin, it's super emollient but it sinks in without leaving any residue. It's best to use the defense cream twice a day, morning and night so I use it immediately after showering in the morning, and at night right before bed.

The Body Merry Stretch Mark and Scars Defense cream has really helped lighten my scars. I had exploratory abdominal surgery about 11 years ago, and it left me with a HUGE scar all the way down my stomach and this cream has drastically helped lighten my scar. It works wonders on old scars, and I imagine it would do even more for fresh scars. With this cream a little goes a long way, I only use about a pea sized amount each application, this tub is going to last me forever! I also love the scent, it smells a little like chocolate, probably from the Cocoa butter! Give this a try if you have any new or old scars or stretch marks, it will work wonders for you!

Review: Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit & Remineralization Gel

I am a huge teeth whitening kit junkie, I've tried everything from the gel systems to the strips and even the stuff you get directly from the dentist, and I've never really been happy with the results, so when I got the opportunity to try the Dr Song Teeth Whitening Kit & Remineralization Gel I was a little skeptical.

I have been using this system every day for a little over a week and I can honestly say it works! This teeth whitening kit uses 44% Carbamide Peroxide, so it's the highest amount allowed! 

I like the fact that the Dr. Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit comes with everything you need to easily and effectively whiten your teeth from the comfort of your own home.

This kit includes:

• 8 XL Syringes with the whitening gel inside (good for over 50 applications!)
• A little brush that you use to apply the gel directly to your teeth so you don't get any gel on your gums
• 3 easily mold-able mouth trays, just put them in hot water for a few minutes and put them in your mouth, suction the tray to your teeth and then it's a completely customized try specifically for your mouth!
• A very powerful blue light to help intensify the whitening agent. Use this light at the first 15 minutes of every whitening session. 

This system is the easiest one I've found to use. I like the fact that you can mold the teeth trays so that they stay in easier and they don't move around. The gel is a thick enough consistency that once applied to your teeth it doesn't slip and slide all over the place. Be careful though and if you happen to get any gel on your gums, immediately wipe it off otherwise it HURTS and you may temporarily whiten your gums. 

The Remineralization Kit:

You may experience some tooth sensitivity with at home teeth whitening, so I definitely recommend having the Dr Song Remineralization Gel on hand. This system has Fluoride and Potassium Nitrate to strengthen teeth and protect your enamel after whitening. It will greatly reduce tooth sensitivity. I noticed after using my teeth whitening kit my teeth were a little sensitive to hot foods, so I used the Remineralization kit for about an hour and my teeth were no longer sensitive at all! I will always use this immediately following my whitening sessions. 

The Remineralization Kit Includes:

• 8 Syringes of the Remineralization Gel (good for over 50 applications!)

I am a huge fan of the Dr. Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit and Remineralization Gel. I have been using this kit for over a week and my teeth have never looked better, I can't wait to see what they look like after using this for a whole month. The only negative I can say about it is that it does hurt if it accidentally gets on your gums, so be very proactive about wiping off the excess from around your teeth and you will be fine!

Review: Foxbrim Ultra Lift Treatment

Everyone is concerned with keeping their skin young and fresh looking these days, but a lot of people don't know what they should be using to achieve their goal. Foxbrim's Ultra Lift Treatment is a great anti-aging tool for your skincare routine. I have been using this Ultra Lift Treatment on my skin for some time and the softness of my skin is unparalleled. This is a facial moisturizer used to target aging signs in your skin, it will firm, lift, and promote new collagen production. The Foxbrim Ultra Lift Treatment is worth every penny, it sinks into your skin immediately without leaving any residue on your skin whatsoever.

What are the ingredients and what will they do for my skin?

• Hyaluronic Acid: A great skin moisture binder, Hyaluronic acid binds 1,000 times it's own weight in water. This will help drive moisture deep down into the layers of your skin and make the moisture last a lot longer. Hyaluronic Acid will also help improve your skin's elasticity, and despite it's name Hyaluronic Acid does not burn your skin, it's actually extremely soothing.
• CoQ10: This is an antioxidant so it neutralizes free radical damage drastically slowing down the signs of aging. CoQ10 will also promote Collagen and Elastin making skin look supple and firm.
• Panthenol: A great ingredient for skin hydration, it soothes, moisturizes, and hydrates skin. Panthenol also has excellent healing properties. 

The Foxbrim Ultra Lift Treatment will help restore skin's Collagen and Elastin making you look youthful. It will also heal your skin with the added ingredient of Panthenol. This is a perfect moisturizer for anyone looking for younger looking skin, or someone that has very dry skin.

The only negative I can even say about this product is that it has absolutely no scent. Some people love that, but I like having a little scent to my moisturizer it just makes me feel like I'm doing something super luxurious.

Review: InstaNatural Vitamin B3 Moisturizer

I have been using InstaNatural's products for months now, they are always great for my skin, and they've done it again! In the colder months of the year everyone's skin tends to dry out, and that is when I reach for my InstaMatural Vitamin B3 Niacinamide moisturizer. 

Why should you try the Vitamin B3 Moisturizer? 

-if you have

• Dry or flaky skin
• Blemishes or acne scarring
• Loss of elasticity
• Dull looking skin
• Hyperpigmentation (age spots or sunspots)
• Broken Capillaries or excessive redness

What will the InstaNatural Vitamin B3 Moisturizer do, and what are the Ingredients?

The Vitamin B3 moisturizer is great at deeply hydrating the skin. It has pure Rosehip oil which will reduce any redness and soothe broken capillaries. This moisturizer contains 5% Niacinamide to reduce inflammation from irritated skin or acne breakouts. Vitamin C is also added for it's anti-aging benefits, it will brighten the skin and fight free radical damage.

I use this moisturizer at night when I'm looking for a little added hydration, but I find it works best for me right after a chemical peel. My skin gets a little sensitized and red after a peel, and once I apply this moisturizer it calms right down and feels soft and smooth. 

The InstaNatural Vitamin B3 moisturizer is a thick consistency night cream perfect for the colder months of the year to deeply hydrate the skin when we need it the most. It comes in a pump so that you can easily administer the correct amount of product on to your fingertips without wasting any, and without having to put your fingers in a jar contaminating it! I would recommend the InstNatural Vitamin B3 moisturizer to anyone that has fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, acne or acne scarring, broken capillaries or excessive redness. InstaNatural also has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Review: Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Hyaluronic Acid is a very little known skincare ingredient, but it's one that is key to diminishing the signs of aging. I got the chance to review the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and it worked wonders on my skin. 

I love the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Hyaluronic Acid Serum because it has a very short list of ingredients, which means it is a highly powerful skincare treatment.

Ingredients:

• Neroli: Improves skin's elasticity and stimulates cell turnover. Neroli can also help with diminishing scars.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Binds 1,000 times it's own weight in water. This is a great natural skin moisturizer and helps drive moisture deep into the different layers of skin.
• Ferulic Acid: Treats aging skin and sun spots. It is also used in combination with Vitamin E and C to boost their anti-oxidant benefits.
• Vitamin C: Neutralizes free radical damage so it helps treat aging skin. Vitamin C also helps brighten the skin making it look bright and youthful.

I suffer from extremely dry skin, so the Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum has been a great treatment for me. I cleanse my skin as I normally do, then I apply toner and then I apply this serum, after that I add my moisturizer and then I'm done! This serum has dramatically changed the suppleness of my skin, I no longer have dry flaky areas on my face. The Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum would be great for any skin type, dry, combination, oily, sensitive, or acneic. 

I love that this serum comes in a pump bottle, that way you can administer the correct amount to your fingertips and you don't find yourself wasting product. This is a thick consistency so it doesn't drip all over the place, and I find that this serum sinks into the skin very quickly.

Petunia's Skincare Anti-Aging Serum is 100% cruelty free and they offer a 100% money back guarantee! The only negative I have to say about this serum is the fact that is smells very strongly of Neroli, and personally I'm not a fan of that scent, but once you get past the scent it's a great product!
