Get Gorgeous With Natural Brands OZNaturals, Derma E and The Organic Skin Co!

Hi all! How’s your November going so far? Can you believe the holidays are almost here? I’ll be dong my gift guides really soon (like maybe my next post)!

To get ready for the cooler weather, I’ve been trying some amazing natural skincare. The following was sent to me for my honest review.

OZNaturals Vitamin C + Sea Hydration Mask ($19.99) Packed with Vitamin C, Giant Sea Kelp Extract, and ocean minerals, this deeply hydrating formula reduces redness, fine lines, and flaky skin, delivering radiant, youthful skin and a dewy, healthy glow. Formulated using a unique technique called Cold Processing, OZNaturals products are made without the use of heat or petrochemicals at room temperature, which allows the active ingredients to remain fresh and highly potent as intended. Full of antioxidants and fatty acids, this effective, yet natural formula soothes even the most distressed skin and will reduce puffiness and inflammation.

This mask works well for my sensitive skin. It gently exfoliates but doesn’t irritate my skin. You can use this after cleansing and exfoliating, apply generously and leave on skin for 15-30 minutes. Moisten and gently rinse to remove. Pat skin dry. Follow with serums, and lastly moisturizer. This is so nice, and I love that it’s all natural!

Project Pan October-December 2018: First Update

Hi all! I’m back with my first update on my last Project Pan of 2018. You can see my first post here.

I’m attempting to use up 5 skincare and 5 makeup items. And it’s going pretty well. I haven’t used up anything yet, but I am getting close!

I just have a little bit left of my Pixi products. I should use them up in a couple of weeks. Same with the Talika Eye Dream. This is almost gone. The Derma E cleanser is still going strong. I’ve been using this for a while and it is really lasting! The Yes to Cotton mask is the only thing that’s taking me a while to use. I keep forgetting about it! But I did use it 4 times last month. I want to try applying it twice a week from now on. We’ll see how it goes!

I do really like all of these products. They all help my skin look smoother and clearer. I’ll let you know if ‘m going to repurchase when I use them up.

My makeup pan is going okay. I think the Flower Beauty concealer is almost used up. It’s taking a few dips in to get enough concealer to apply. I’ve been concentrating on the concealer, but have used the Colourpop one a few times.

I’ve been wearing one or a combo of the lip glosses every day in October. I don’t know if you can see from the photo, but it looks like the lightest one is separating on the bottom. I might have to stop using that one. If I don’t use them all up by the end of the year, I’m going to toss them. They are over a year old and it’s either use them up or throw them away!

I think I should get through most of these products. I think the interesting thing I’ve learned so far this year is that I have way more makeup than I will use up! I’ll talk more about that at my end of year round up.

Have you done a Project Pan this year? What are you learning from it?

October 2018 Beauty Favorites

Hi all! It’s November! This year has gone by so fast! Soon it will be Christmas.

I have a few items I’ve been using almost every day in October. Here are the items and links to my first review or post about it:

IT Cosmetics Secret Sauce ($68 USD) — My skin has gotten so dry lately. This moisturizer is thick and hydrating, perfect for colder weather! The skin-loving, powerfully potent secret lies in the Secret Sauce™ Fermented Complex: 7 clinically advanced, penetration-enhancing fermented ingredients that help to increase absorbency and maximize the ultra-hydrating, anti-aging benefits of Secret Sauce™. Also featuring anti-aging peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and licorice root, Secret Sauce™ is perfect for all skin types and reduces the look of discoloration, lines and wrinkles. I used this at night and in the morning my skin is soft and glowy!

BECCA Under Eye Brightening Corrector is a full-coverage creme that color-corrects the appearance of under-eye darkness. It is infused with ultra-fine, light-reflecting illuminators. I like this a lot. It’s just the right shade to go under my eye, it’s a little bit lighter than my skin tone. It helps cover my dark circles and give us a bit of a glow. This was a favorite earlier in the year, but I’ve been using it again and love to apply it every day under my concealer.

Wunder2 Wunderkiss Gloss Lip Liner ($11.95 USD) — This liner is created to be used with lip gloss! The liner is very smooth and easy to use. The claim is that it can be used to create a beautiful, long-lasting lip contour that keeps your lip gloss in place. I find that it does just that. My gloss looks fresh for longer. Available in 3 shades — Nude, Rose and Berry. I love the Nude. I have been trying to use up three Lorac glosses in my current Project Pan, and this lip liner helps them stay on longer and my lips look more polished.

Urban Decay Elements Eyeshadow Palette ($52 USD) — Inspired by the elements – Air, Earth, Fire and Water – a constellation of unique colors orbit around Luna, an ultra-iridescent transformer shade. The 19 new multidimensional pigments include bright mattes, holographic shimmers and molten metallics. This is gorgeous and I’ve been testing out these shadows. It’s perfect for fall and holiday looks.

Morphe High Impact Highlighter in Extra ($14 USD) — At first I wasn’t the biggest fan of this, but I really like it now. The color is gorgeous, it’s a lustrous peachy gold. Just a little goes a long way with this. It’s very intense!

Physicians Formula The Healthy Foundation SPF 20 (LC1) — This is full coverage, but it looks natural on. I don’t have the correct shade, I purchased it online and I guessed on the shade. They all looked pretty dark on the Ulta website so I bought the lightest shade. It’s just a bit light for me. I will purchase this again in a darker shade.

Have you tried any of these products? What are your faves from the month?

Beauty Mask Review — Dr.Jart+ Dermask Ultra Jet Peeling Solution Mask

Dr.Jart+_s Dermask Ultrajet Peeling Solution Mask

I tried an new face mask, which is so exciting. It made me think, maybe I should start a new series where I review face masks. I think it could be fun!

This is the newest addition to Dr.Jart+’s famed Dermask Collection, the Ultrajet Peeling Solution Mask ($9 USD). Here is the info on it:

This 2-step sheet mask is formulated with a rich bubbling formula, composed of carbonic acid powder infused with carbon dioxide, to help deeply penetrate and clear out pores. It also uses a blend of sugar scrub and fruit acids, including papaya enzymes help to gently resurface skin and even out the complexion, leaving it soft and balanced. The perfect repair mask after a summer of sun!

This was interesting and I’m still trying to figure it out. I applied the scrub first. My face was dry, but I am wondering if it should have been damp. I rubbed it in a bit and applied the sheet mask. I left it on for 5 minutes (the instruction say 3-5 minutes). It didn’t bubble up at all. After 5 minutes, I removed the mask and rinsed off the scrub. My skin looked good afterwards. The mask didn’t irritate my sensitive skin and my skin looked pretty smooth. My pores did look a little less noticeable, too.

This was a quick and easy mask. It did smooth out my skin. I’d like to try more Dr. Jart+ masks.

Have you tried this or any Dr. Jart+ masks?

Available now at Sephora and Sephora.com.
