My Review:

First off, I do want to apologize for not posting any pictures of my face. Unfortunately with the bad lighting of my bathroom plus the million freckles on my face, you can't really see a difference. I can, but I know my face and can feel it as well. 

If you are afraid of needles, this product may not be for you. However, it's not like they're going deep into your skin like getting a shot, so if you can get past the needle thing, this could be a great product for you. 

The derma roller itself comes in a nice box and has a good, sturdy plastic case to keep it in. If you don't already have 90% rubbing alcohol, go buy some. You will need it to sanitize this product after using it. You don't want to pass those germs around. If you do, it's your own fault for not cleaning it. 

Don't be afraid to put a little pressure on the derma roller so that it actually penetrates a little. I'm not saying press it until it sticks in and you can leave it hanging from your face. You'll know when you have applied enough pressure because your face will start getting a sunburnt feeling. Not an extreme 2nd degree sunburn, just a light sunburn that was enough for you to feel and notice. 

It's going to take you a little time to get this done correctly since you have to go multiple different directions to complete the whole process. Once you get used to doing it, you'll get faster at it. You just have to learn how much pressure you need to apply for your skin. You can use this on your body in more places than just your face. If you have a wrinkle, scar, or stretch mark that you want to reduce, use it there. 

After using the derma roller, I apply 1 coat of hyaluronic acid serum and 1 coat of vitamin c serum. Then of course any additional moisturizers and makeup as you wish. 

My face has definitely shown signs of change. My face feels tighter (not in an uncomfortable way), my pores are starting to get a little smaller and more cleared out. I haven't experimented on my stretch marks yet because that is sensitive skin, but that is my next mission now that I've loved the results on my face. I would definitely recommend this product. And you don't have to spend 100's of dollars like other products of this kind. Go check them out now and get yours!

Invita Skin Beauty Review

Product Description:

• collagen in it's native form, identical to that naturally occurring in the body.
• a pure preparation of native collagen proteins that are "non hydrolyzed"
• provides your skin with everything what it needs - 'live' collagen.
• collagen obtained from fish skin "free of pathogens" with the native structure of the triple helix
• natural collagen conditions your skin from within making it smooth, elastic and soft.

My Review:

I thought this product was pretty decent.  I have evil skin so I don't know that there was any difference made with my skin, however, it did do pretty good on my joint pain. I've been having issues lately with my knees. Funny how you lose weight, you start having more pains than you did before. Wish my body would be nicer now that I'm 60lbs lighter lol. I will say it's been pretty helpful there. I don't know that I would continue to take it because as a single mom, these kinds of things are a luxury, not a necessity. But if you can afford it, by all means, try it out! I'm glad I got a chance to try it out.

KEY INGREDIENTS

Vitamin C: With a 20% concentration does more than boost the body’s immune system; it also provides many benefits to keep the skin tight, smooth and looking ageless. Vitamin C has been scientifically proven to reduces the effects of sun exposure on the skin, including sunburn, sun spots, redness and wrinkles.

In addition to helping reduce the signs of aging, Vitamin C is essential for everyday maintenance to strengthen and smooth out the skin, as well as neutralizing free radicals before they can damage the skin. 

***Our additional Key Ingredients below were all selected for their ability to enhance and support Vitamin C's effect on the skin. 

Organic Rosehip Seed Oil & Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil - These oils promote skin hydration and lock in moisture to protect your skin from signs of aging and improve its beauty and youthfulness. Rosehip Oil specifically has been used in medical communities around the world for those with serious skin ailments and only recently has North America learned to embrace natural solutions from our ancestors. These two organic oils are full of antioxidants and therefore act as the perfect supporting cast for our best friend - Vitamin C

Resistem (Plant Stem Cells) - This provides the perfect mix of protection from stress-related aging and promotes skin detoxification. Resistem will help your skin regenerate faster while protecting it from environmental stressors.

Hyaluronic Acid (Botanical) - Holding up to 1000 times its weight in water and drawing moisture out of the environment and onto the surface of your skin ,there is not a more effective moisturizing agent on the market today. Penetrates deeply, and actives collagen production for a fresher, younger, firmer, and brighter complexion

Green Tea Extact- The catechins in green tea are a potent antioxidant which also contribute to the overall anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant benefits of this ancient health and beauty secret.

My Review:

I finally got what I expected in a bottle...ORANGE! The last Vitamin C type serum I tried smelled like witch hazel and didn't do much good. This even glow serum, on the other hand, was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! It comes in a nice, neat little box and the bottle is labeled simple with just the information a consumer needs. When I got the bottle out of the box my first instinct was to smell it, so I did. It actually smelled like oranges. I wasn't expecting that at all! The even bigger shocker was when I went to put some on my fingertips to apply to my face and it didn't run right off them! This serum is actually thick enough to last on your fingers instead of running right off them like other thin "serums" do. Definitely pay attention to the amount you start out with. A little goes a looooong way! Which is awesome because it gives you more than you expected for your money. It didn't leave my skin sticky feeling at all, which I was a little worried about. It does take a minute or two for the serum to dry on your face. If you're that impatient, use the cool setting on your hairdryer or fan your face until it dries. You can put lotion or makeup right on top of it with no issues. Within the first couple of days I noticed a difference. My skin seemed much more smooth that it did. I have combination skin BAD! This actually helped calm down the dry parts of my face and the shiny areas as well. It was almost like having normal skin again! I can't speak for any skin type but my own. It does say that it is good for all skin types. I can attest that it works for my combination skin, so you may want to look into this stuff. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone to at least try out. You may be very pleasantly surprised like I was. I would show a picture of before and after but you really can't tell a difference. I am a redhead, which means pasty white skin with freckles. No matter how many different ways I tried taking a picture, there was no way to tell anything.

My Review:

The product comes in a nice glass bottle with a nice label. It doesn't have a lot of extra "junk" on it to advertise like some companies do. It gives the obvious, which would be the company name, product, and fl oz amount. It also includes a full list of ingredients (showing percentage of naturally derived ingredients and organic ingredients). And last but not least, a description of the product and directions. The dropper is made of glass, so definitely be careful. I love that it has a dropper, however, I wish it wasn't flat at the bottom of it. The serum was a bit thinner than I had expected so it will slowly start dripping from the end. Definitely make sure you are ready to apply before you pull the dropper out. I've never used this type of product before so I really wasn't sure what to expect for a scent. My naivety told me to expect oranges in a bottle. Of course, I was wrong. The serum is a milky clear color. I smelled it before using it and it was a very familiar scent and definitely not what I was expecting. I got a strong whiff of witch hazel. Anyone who knows what witch hazel smells like, knows it's not a great smell. There are other ingredients that kind of mask the smell, but it's a very strong scent to try and overpower. When applying the serum, do not put too much on your hand before applying it to your face/neck. The warmth from your hand will thin it out a little more and you'll moisturizing your hands instead of your face. It goes on smooth and dries fairly quick. I won't say I didn't fan my face a little, but I'm sooooo impatient. I'm working on that, but for patient people, it dries pretty quick. Once it's dry, you can apply your daily moisturizer and anything else you use on your face. I used this product for a couple of weeks and didn't really see a huge difference. I'm not saying it doesn't work, because there's plenty of people on amazon that would disagree with me. I am a redhead with weird sensitive combination skin. I think people with more normal skin would have a better result. I would recommend this product to people with normal skin. Maybe even oily skin since the serum has witch hazel, which is an astringent.

Attempting to show what it looks like on my skin. I'm a little pasty so it's hard to tell. 

Side Note:

I would like to apologize to Mystelic for my tardy review. I would love to work with you again and hope that you can forgive me for this unprofessional moment I had.

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Review

My skin needs help for real. I won't lie. Totally not in denial. I give most products a try as long as they don't cost an arm and a leg. I started using this product on my face and within a week I noticed a huge change! I have combination skin. T-zone oily, forehead dry. It sucks! But this has made my skin more moisturized, and started looking a lot better. I'm super excited. I will definitely be buying more of this!
I got to try this product thanks to influenster in exchange for my review.
