Review: Certified Organic Jojoba Oil by Deluxe Botanicals




















Buy here
4oz bottle: $12.97 w/Prime


Review:
Love this jojoba oil. The main attraction for me is that it's organic and cruelty free but the product rocks too. I use this on my feet at night under a pair of socks to soften up those gnarly calluses on the bottoms of  my feet from wearing flip flops all the time. My hubby does not appreciate my feet being rough and scratching up his legs so he looks like he was attacked by a mountain lion. Yes, they have been that bad before. I didn't notice a bad smell from this oil or any kind of reaction. I like the dropper because it makes it easier to portion out how much product that I need.

Review: FRAMESI COLOR LOVER PRIMER 11


 
















Company Website


Review:
I regularly color my hair every 4 weeks and recently I got the bright idea to use Henna hair dye which worked well. It's such a hassle to sit with it on my hair for 2 hours or more so I used regular hair dye from Sally's beauty supply and that wasn't the best idea so I got this Color Lover Primer at a great time.

My hair was getting crunchy like it does when you color it too much or it's been bleached but after using this, it's on the way to feeling much better. My hair is softer and much more manageable.  A good hair cut and continued use of this leave in conditioner will do wonders for my hair. I like the scent of the product which is a definite win in my book because I have major issues with scents in hair products.

Review: Cloud9 Blemish Control Moisturizer


 
















$20.99 w/Prime

Review:
This is a moisturizer that is intended to treat acne or breakouts and it works!! I was honestly surprised that it helped to dry up the horrendous hormonal breakouts that I have had the past couple weeks. I applied before makeup in the morning and after washing my face at night. This soaks in quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky. It does have an odd smell, almost like eucalyptus which isn't my favorite scent in the world but for the results I've had, I have dealt with the scent. This is a smallish bottle at 1oz. but even when covering my entire face, I only have to use one pump. I have not experienced any dryness or irritation which makes me very happy.

Review: Gaia Organics Baby Shampoo



















Buy here
8oz bottle--$10.49 w/Prime


Review:
Gaia Organics Baby Shampoo is great for lots of things including shampoo and body wash for babies but it's also good for colored hair. I have been using this for myself rather than on my children. I have hair that has been highlighted and colored repeatedly so I am always looking for a gently shampoo that will not damage my hair anymore. This shampoo has worked really well for me. My hair is soft and full of body. Another thing that I really like is the scent even though I'm not a huge fan of lavender usually. I have to hand it to Gaia Organics for blending it enough that the scent isn't overpowering. This shampoo reminds me of another mainstream brand of Sleepytime baby wash that I used when my kids were tiny. I would recommend anyone looking for a new shampoo/wash for their baby to try this one out.

Review: I've Been Carded Black Soap Facial Wash


 
















Buy here

$15.90 + 4.90 Shipping-Amazon


Company Website: This has tons of info if you need more. :)

My face has cleared up soooooo much since using this soap. :)
Review:
Black soap rocks! This is a very exfoliating and deep cleaning facial soap. My only complaint is that the container is not larger. I have just recently found out about African black soap and I'm in love. I'm an oil slick during the summer so I'm always looking for something that will keep my complexion in control that won't damage or dry my skin out. This is my Holy Grail of facial products right now. This works amazingly well and my face has never been this clear. I only use it about once or twice a week because it is pretty gritty. My face always feels squeaky clean after using the soap and my face has NOT rebelled and produced double to the oil to compensate. It's got to have magic in it because I have found nothing else that works like this.

With that being said, I hate the shipping price but I will suck it up and purchase again for the amazing results I've had so far. 



Company info:
Rewind the clock with this youth-renewing black soap facial treatment. Made with powerful African ingredients, this natural treatment deeply nourishes each pore, leaving you soft, toned, and fresh. African black soap is bursting with antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage. It helps to even out and fade age spots and discoloration. Rich in Vitamins A and E, and pure African shea butter, all working together to soften and smooth your skin. Also includes African coffee which exfoliates your skin while the antioxidants in coffee help to cleanse and nourish.
