Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review

Posted on 01 Mar 2010

“Skin MD Natural is a shielding lotion, a very special type of lotion helping the skin restore its integrity, enhance its protective functions so that the skin is able to heal naturally and regain its youthful appearance. Skin MD Natural works by bonding with cells of the skin’s outermost layer to form what works as an invisible shield. This layer of protection prevents environmental irritants and pollutants from penetrating the skin, while sealing in the skin’s own natural oils and moisture, helping resolve the dry skin condition.

Skin MD Natural uses only the finest natural ingredients, and is focused on urging the skin to be active, and to use its own moisture to effectively heal itself. It is not oily or sticky, doesn’t sit on top of your skin leaving a greasy residue on everything you touch, it doesn’t rub or wash off easily, is hypoallergenic, fragrance, colorant and paraben free and dermatology tested.

Skin MD Natural is over 93% “natural” which is well within the highest echelon of actual percentage of natural ingredients of all products that have the word “natural” on their label. The ingredients in Skin MD Natural that are not “natural” are of food or medical grade and on FDA’s most safe list.

Ingredients:

Deionized water (Aqua), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (Aloe Vera), Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Methyl Gluceth-20, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Arnica Montana Flower Extract (Arnica), Symphytum Officinale Leaf Extract (Comfrey), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Extract (Chamomile), Achillea Millefolium Extract (Yarrow), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, 1,2 Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Butylene Glycol, Aminomethyl Propanol, Phenoxyethanol

Doliva Face Cream and Cleansing Milk Review

Posted on 17 Feb 2010

I absolutely loved the Doliva Hand Cream and Lip Balm (you can read my review here)  so I really wanted to try some of their  products for face. I have a very dry and sensitive skin so this is what I’ve picked for myself:

Doliva Intensive Cream for very dry and sensitive skin, $12

Doliva olive face cream contains not only extra virgin olive oil, but also other precious oils – avocado, corn and almond; this effective combination is enriched with a fresh lemon scent. The cream is suitable for dry and sensitive skin, it greases it gently and thoroughly and provides it with natural moisture. It absorbs easily and does not leave a greasy film. Use: gently spread on the skin of your face, neck and décolletage morning and evening after washing. Suitable also as a base for make-up.

Doliva Cleansing Milk, $13

Doliva Cleansing Milk Provides pore-deep cleansing and gentle skin care. This gentle cleansing removes make-up mildly.

Use: Gently rub this cleanser into the skin twice a day and rinse with water.

Lush Products for Bath:Review and Photos

Posted on 15 Jan 2010

Although I made several posts about Lush already I never really shared my opinion. I also never shared my opinion about any MAC products because there are already TOO MANY reviews about these brands. But I guess it’s time to brake the rules and bring you some reviews about Lush and MAC Cosmetics (in the future).

Do you want to know what I got?

This time I’ve got only 5 products because I want to visit Lush again very soon. I’ve already made the list of what to get ;)

I got :

1. Mmm Melting Marshmallow Moment £3.50

Slow melting musky marshmallow marvel. MMM melts into a pink, fluffy waterbed of marshmallow and moisturizing cocoa butter. Each Melting Marshmallow Moment is made with marshmallow herb, which produces a sweet, skin-soothing mucilage that was used to make sugar candies for hundreds of years, and marigold, which is equally calming for your skin. Take your time, savour each moment and have as many marshmallows as you like.

2.Sex Bomb,£2.95

Jasmine, clary sage and ylang ylang to make you feel like a love goddess. The power of these aphrodisiac oils lies in their ability to relax you at the same time as warming your heart and other body parts. The ancient perfumers of the Mediterranean knew a thing or two about lurve and we’re using the methods they used thousands of years ago for the same results. Whether you want to be calm for a big night out or a quiet night in, prepare to detonate a Sex Bomb.

3.Dreamtime Bath Melt, £2.90

Skin softening, soothing and sleep-inducing melt. Guess when you should drop this luxuriously creamy block into the water? Bedtime! It may look small, but its secret strengths lie in its scent. The Dreamtime causes your worries to fade away with jasmine, lavender calms your head and sandalwood relaxes your limbs, so use it whenever you need a good night’s sleep, soft skin and sweet dreams.

4. Wee Harry, £2.95 with one eye, lol

Elf and safety warming! A warm, spicy bubble bath inspired by warm, spicy Scandinavian drinks. (And elves.) When you visit a Luh shop, you’ll notice that Wee Harry has a diffrent name, but don’t worry: he’s still the same Christmas elf. We realised that every culture has its yuletide elf named different.

5. Sea Vegetable,£2.75

A refreshing splash in the ocean. Sea Vegetable is made with seaweed, one of our favourite ingredients, with a crust of stimulating sea salt to give your body a good scrub down. It smells of lime, lavender and seaweed, a bit like sitting at the beach next to someone applying suntan lotion. This is a great soap for sharing amongst the whole household. The scent is perfectly balanced for boys and girls everywhere.

Watsons Olive Cream Bath Review

Posted on 30 Oct 2009

makeup-watson-olive-cream-a

You probably already know that I am the biggest fan of  “everything olive” starting from olives themselves, olive oil and all skin and hair products with olives. So I just had to try this Cream Bath with olives from Watsons. I already tried their Papaya and Mango products (  hand cream and body oil , body scrub reviews).

So what about this product? I loved everything about this Olive Cream  Bath. The fragrance, design and of course the way my skin feels after it. So soft and smooth. Plus it seems that this products is really more like a cream than a gel. I  am sure that now I will try other products from this line.

The only minus is that Watsons company is not available in every country.

Elseve Nutri-Gloss Light Conditioning Shine Spray. Review

Posted on 26 Oct 2009

Last Tuesday I was invited to a wedding. This is how my mani and lips looked like. But what about my hair? I just wanted it to be straight and shiny. My hair is staright and shiny  but I wanted it to look better than usual. So I thought that it’s time to get some shine spray.

I’ ve tried several “shiny” products for hair but what was the result?  My hair became greasy and oily very soon and I had to wash it on the next day. But I still wanted to try something out so I went shopping and found this !I really like Nutri-Gloss Light Shampoo (read review here) so I wanted to give a try to this spray. Plus it is not expensive.

loreal shine spray

This is what is written about this spray. Information is from L’Oreal’s website.

So light, can be used as a conditioning boost: On damp hair after washing with shampoo & conditioner, or instead of regular conditioner depending on hair condition. On dry hair, with a light spray to tame hair between washes or on the go! No need to rinse. Can be used every day for daily gloss.
