Yalmeh Glory Eye Bright Gel Brightening Eyes Cream Review and Giveaway

As a night owl and all around busy mom and blogger/vlogger. I'm always up late and get little sleep. After a while it has been catching up to me and I see it in my eyes. So I was happy to try out Yalmeh's brightening eye cream.

The product it's self comes in a nice squeeze tube to control what you want to use. It dries quickly so you can move on with your morning or night routine.

I wanted to review this product for a while so I could see if there were results or not. After about a week or two I did see a difference in the slight puffiness I get and the appearance of fine lines was a bit better. At about 3 week use I'm still waiting on any adding in the dark circle department. My dark circles aren't bad, it just looks like I have a tiny bit of mascara run off.

Over  all I do like the results I am getting and will continue using it. And as far as price, it is fair. You don't use a ton of it and it is cheaper than some other eye creams. If you would like a chance to try it out enter below!

Azara Organics Seaweed Powder Review

Since I'm going down a road of lets find out out what will really work on my skin phase. (Blog to come) I definitely wanted to try out a new mask. So far the more natural for my skin, the better it has been. Azara organics has made a seaweed powder directly from the Ataltinc ocean. 100% organic!

Here are pictures of the product just the way it comes.

ingredients

Directions

You have quite a few options when it comes to making your mask. But the basics are add warm water to the powder and mix. The mask does have a "ocean" odor, so you can add essential oils to dull it down. I went for it and wore the mask as is. It wasn't awful smelling, but you can smell it. The website also gives you other ideas on how to mix it.

Mix to the consistency you want.

I think I left the mask on too long, because I was checking emails, youttube ect.. When the redness went down my skin was smooth and my makeup applied nicely! The other thing I do appreciate about this mask is that you get a lot of product for the price. Definitely worth it! This splurge will last you a long time!

After about a week I saw a difference in my skin. It was a little brighter and my fine lines were a little less noticeable. I also noticed that when I did get any pimples they healed very quickly.

                                    

The serum it's self is a bit watery and looks like you squeezed and orange into a bottle. The smell is a light citrus smell! It goes on smooth and dries pretty much instantly, so you can start your everyday face routine.

Crave Naturals Brow and Lash Kit Review

I received this product for review from crave naturals to review. All opinions are my own.

                                 

This kit has the cutest package! You can definitely keep the kit in the packaging. These two tools are a necessity for any beauty routine. I'll show you how I used them.

                      

I groomed my eyebrows in an upward direction with the spoolie, which can be used also for your lashes. And then I used brow powder on the eyebrow brush. The eyebrow brush is soft, I normally prefer a stiffer brush, but this one does work well.

                                

Excuse the no makeup pics! I used the lash comb to unclump some lashes. The lash comb went right thru the lashes and separated them. 

                                 

And for the final brush, you can use this for your brows also. It's up to you!

Overall I did like this product, but what sold me was the packaging. So I know your thinking, I can get these anywhere for really cheap. Yes, I agree. But, with crave naturals you are getting a higher quality kit. I have had these come with brush kits and they literally fall apart from the first use. These are made sturdy and would recommend getting these to add to your makeup brushes.

You can get a kit for your self just follow the directions below!

1. Go to amazon.com and search eyelash comb.
2. Find the brow and lash kit and add it to your cart.
3. Before finalizing the order, use promo code: QQMSRCOC to receive 25% OFF your order.
4. Reviews are appreciated.

Make those  brows work!

Pure Sol Konjac Facial sponge review

              

                               

I loved the bamboo charcoal version of this sponge so much, that I wanted to try out the original Konjac facial sponge. Once again I'm excited to try an Eco friendly sponge that is 100% natural and biodegradable.

The following pictures are close up of the packaging, so you can read more details about the sponge.

                               

                              

The sponge itself comes dry and compact, just run it in water and it plumps up full and soft.

                         

                              

                              

This sponge can be used with or without a facial cleanser, but I chose to use one. You only have to put a small amount because it suds up a lot. The sponge gently exfoliates, it's not rough at all. While I do like this sponge, I like its bamboo charcoal sister better. It works better for my skin. I think the original might be better for people that don't have pimples or oily skin.

You can pick one up at amazon.

Have you tried a pure sol Konjac facial sponge yet?
