H2O+ – Forty, Flirty & Fabulous

Trying New Skincare From Yes To and H2O+ Beauty!

Hi all! It is almost fall, how’s your skin doing? My skin always needs a detox from summer. Great exfoliation and masks help clear up sun damage and clogged pore and get skin ready for cooler weather and more glam makeup for the fall and holidays!.

The masks are left to right Yes to Tomatoes Acne Fighting Bubbling Mask, Yes to Tomatoes Anti-Pollution Detoxifying Charcoal Bubbling Paper Mask, Yes to Coconut Energizing Coffee 3-in-1 Mask, Scrub and Cleanser, Yes to Cucumers Soothing 3-in-1 Mask, Scrub and Cleanser. Plus for the scalp and hair, the Yes to Superblueberries Smoothing Hair Clay Mask and the Yes to Tea Tree Soothing Hair Clay Mask.

My skin is combination and aging, so the acne mask isn’t for me, but the anti-pollution one is really nice. I do have large pores, so this helped. I love both of the 3-in-1 masks. I love a good scrub. I leave these on my skin for a few minutes, then add a bit of water, massage it in my skin and rinse. My skin is so soft!

The hair clay masks are really cool, too! They are a creamy clay. You can apply them before or after shampooing in the shower. You comb them through your hair then leave them on for 5 minutes. They both worked well for me. The soothing one did make my scalp feel better and the smoothing one helped with frizz!

The other three products in the photo above are the Yes to Tomatoes Anti-Pollution Detoxifying Charcoal Bubbling Wipes, Yes to Coconut Energizing Coffee 2-in-1 Scrub & Cleanser Stick, Yes to Grapefruit Vitamin C Glow Boosting SnapMask Stick.

I love the wipes! They do bubble up once you start using them. They clean so well, too! The Yes to Coconut coffee stick scrub is very gentle (and smells amazing)! It is hydrating as well as exfoliating. The grapefruit stick is a mask, just rub it on, let is set and rinse off! It really brightens the skin and leaves it glowing!

I also received these H2O+ Beauty products:

H2O+ Beauty Teak Rose On the Move Intensive Hand Cream, H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Shimmering Body Moisturizer, H2O+ Beauty Sea Greens Body Scrub, H2O+ Beauty Rapids Soothing Probiotic Bubble Mask.

H20+ Beauty products always smell amazing! The Teak Rose hand cream is so hydrating! The scent is a soft floral. The shimmering body moisturizer is very fresh and citrusy and gives the skin a soft glow.

I love the fresh Sea Greens scent. The scrub is great for exfoliating the body. It’s not too abrasive. I have tried the soothing probiotic bubble mask before. It’s really eassy to used. Just apply a thick layer on the skin and it will bubble up! Once the bubbles dissipate, I rinse it off and my skin is calm and smooth. There’s at least two applications in the pouch, too!

What new skincare have you been loving?

H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Body Collection

Hi all! I was excited to receive a bunch of new H2O+ Beauty products! The products I am reviewing today are an amazing smelling bath and body collection. The H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Body Care Collection features Verbena Extract, Coconut Milk, Coconut Water, and Vitamin E to nourish and soften skin.

Here are the products I received for my honest review:

H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Foaming Body Exfoliator ($10 for 6 oz) – A foaming scrub that transforms skin from dry and rough into silky and luxuriously soft just as the gel transforms into a foam as you lather. Coconut Oil and Verbena extract combine with Coconut shells to gently exfoliate, buffing away dull skin and leaving you with an all over glow. This gives a pretty vigorous scrub. I love that it foams. It leaves my skin so soft and smooth. Perfect before self-tanning.

H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Body Wash ($18 for 12.2 Fl oz) — These Coconut Water enriched suds feature Coconut Water, Vitamin E and Verbena extract, cleansing and refreshing skin. I love the scent of this whole collection, it’s so fresh and bright! This is a really bubbly body wash and works well as a bubble bath!

H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Body Butter ($22 for 8 Fl oz) — This features Coconut Milk and Verbena extract, to nourish and soften skin. It’s very hydrating and is softly scented. It’s really nice to use after the bath. I love layering my fragrance!

H2O+ Beauty Coconut Verbena Shimmering Body Moisturizer ($18 for 5 Fl oz) — And speaking of layering scents, this fun moisturizer transforms from a foam texture into an oil as it melts into the skin. It’s infused with Coconut Oil and Verbena extract. I like that it’s not greasy. It does leave a shimmer, which I don’t usually wear, but I know one of my daughters will love this!

Over all, I really love this collection. The scent is perfect for the summer and the products are really hydrating.

Have you tried H2O+ Beauty? What products do you like from them?

H2O+ Beauty’s New Rapids and Coconut Verbena Collections

H2O+ Beauty has some amazing new skincare and bath and body care just released this spring. I love this brand because the products contain natural ingredients and innovative formulas.

One of the new collections I’m reviewing products from are the Rapids Collection that features champagne and yuzu extracts, a balancing and enhancing probiotic skin care collection that makes your skin look and feel immediately healthier:

H2O+ Rapids Soothing Probiotic Bubble Mask ($6 for one pouch, $25 for 5 pouches) – This bubble mask foams up before your eyes and helps calm and soothe skin, promoting a more even looking complexion. Perfect for combination skin.

What I think: Once you massage this mask in, it bubbles up thickly. At first it tickled my nose and I didn’t know if I could keep it one, but the bubbles pop and leave a film on the skin. I rinsed it off after 10 minutes and my skin was smooth. It wasn’t calm though at first, it was a bit red. But it did calm down and I really liked how soft my skin was. One pouch contains about three uses.

H2O+ Rapids Gel to Powder Probiotic Mattifier ($22 USD) — This unique mattifier balances combination skin and blurs imperfections as the gel transforms to a light powdery texture before your eyes. Featuring Probiotics and Champagne and Yuzu extracts, it absorbs excess oil and shine and leaves skin with a visibly flawless, even skin tone. Dermatologist tested. Non-acnegenic. Non-comedogenic. Clinically proven to not clog pores and to reduce the number of blackheads after 2 weeks.**when used as a regimen.

What I think: This is really nice under makeup or on its own to keep oil at bay. I usually only have oily skin in the summer, so for me it will be perfect when it gets hot. I think this will be nice for those who have oily skin all year long.

H2O+ Rapids Probiotic Champagne Illuminator ($22 USD) — A pearlescent highlighter that enhances your best features while also helping skin better retain moisture. Featuring Probiotics, and Champagne and Yuzu extracts, its water-based jelly texture gives you a subtle glow in all the right places. Dermatologist tested. Non-acnegenic. Non-comedogenic. Clinically proven to not clog pores and to reduce the number of blackheads after 2 weeks. **when used as a regimen.

What I think: This is such an interesting highlighter. It’s a peachy-golden glow that applies like skincare. It really feels nice on the skin. It goes on a little wet but dries down. It’s a more natural glow, but looks amazing in the sunlight. The only negative is there is very little product in the container.But a little does go a long way.

The second collection I have been testing is the Coconut Verbena Bath and Body Collection:

Coconut Verbena Body Wash ($18 USD 12.2 Fl oz) — These Coconut Water enriched suds feature Coconut Water, Vitamin E and Verbena extract, cleansing and refreshing skin. So lather up those bubbles and breathe in the crisp, citrusy verbena scent. Cleanses and refreshes with coconut and verbena.

What I think: This is a really refreshing, light scented body wash. It also bubbles up nicely in the bath (I love baths)! It also hydrates the skin and leaves it soft after use. So lovely for warmer weather!

H2O+ Coconut Verbena Body Butter ($22 USD 8 Fl oz) This deeply hydrating body butter features Coconut Milk and Verbena extract, nourishing and softening skin while treating your senses to the crisp and citrusy scent of verbena. Deeply hydrates and softens with coconut and verbena.

What I think: This smells just as pretty as the body wash. It hydrates the skin and leaves it so soft!

Up Your Skincare Game This Fall With Meaningful Beauty, H2O+ and CeraVe

It snowed a little yesterday (Halloween) in Kansas City! I think that’s the first time in the 11 years I’ve been here. A couple of weeks ago, it was in the 80’s. But that’s KC weather for you…unpredictable!

So now that it’s colder (for a few days at least) my skin is showing it. I have some dry patches and unevenness, so it’s time to really take care of my skin.

These are the products I have been using lately. The H2O+ products are new and really cool, the Meaningful Beauty one are great for anti-aging and the CeraVe are great hydrators:

H2O+ Oasis Hydrating Gel Eye Mask 8 Pack ($26 for 8 or $4 for 1) — These single-use, hydrating gel eye masks cool and refresh on contact, pampering under eye circles to help reduce puffiness so eyes appear more awake. These and the face masks are cotton on the outside and gel on the side that touches skin, which I love. The texture for both is very dry though, no serum, just a gel that doesn’t make your face wet. Strange, but it worked well. My under eye are was smooth and firm after use.

H2O+ Infinity + Wrinkle Reducing Booster ($38 USD) — When you combine, the customizable Wrinkle Reducing Booster with your favorite H2O+ serum or moisturizer, the results are swift and powerful.

H2O+ Waterbright Brightening Gel Mask 8 Pack ($36 for 8, $5 for 1) — These single-use, brightening gel facial masks will leave your complexion radiant and glowing while feeling smooth to the touch. This left my skin so bright and firm. It was not wet at all, so no excess serum to rub in, but it was dry and smooth. Very nice and makeup can be applied right afterwards.

Calm Your Skin with New Anti-Acne Skincare from H2O Plus

I love H2O+’s sea-derived skincare. The scents are fantastic. The main fragrance is a spa-like, oceany scent that is so addictive! I have never tried their anti-acne line, but I do break out occasionally, especially when the weather gets warmer (like now).

H2O+ products control oil production naturally with their gently astringent seaweed extracts that break down bacteria.

Sea Clear Refining Facial ($22.00) — is a great scrub that is enriched with five sea minerals (Zinc, Copper, Iron, Silicon and Magnesium) and oil-absorbing marine botanicals (Gigartina, Neptune Kelp and Dulse). You apply and massage in the facial, and it will flake away along with dull, pore-clogging surface cells to reveal naturally renewed, shine-free skin. I love how fresh my skin looks after this treatment, and my pores appear smaller after use.

Anti-Acne Calming Corrector ($24.00 USD) — is a serum that can be used as a spot treatment or can be applied all over the face to keep oil at bay. It also contains the oil-absorbing marine botanicals plus salicylic and glycollic acids to prevent, treat and fade blemishes without irritation or drying.

I have used it as both a spot treatment and all over on oily days. It works well to calm the skin and treats the breakouts!

Visit www.h2oplus.com to purchase these and many more fantastic products. Enjoy!
