Review: Sun Labs Self Tanning Set, Body Polisher, and Bath and Body Set

Hey girls! After a week of my break (I went to Florida with my cousin), I come back to you again with a review. Don’t any of you want that perfect tan without the sun or sun beds because I know I do! After seeing the perfect tans the chicks have in Florida, I decided to come up with a post that reviews products to use for achieving the perfect tan. My one must have product for the summer is the Sun Labs Self tanner set. It comes with an exfoliator, the self tanner, and the maintaining lotion. I especially like using the body polisher with it. It gently exfoliates for an even coating of the self tanner. Keep reading to see my review of all of these products and for additional prices, please take a look at their site!

My review (by product):


-Sun Labs Exfoliant Body Gel: This gel can be purchased individually or in the trio set at different prices. The 8oz. pump bottle retails for $10. It’s green in color and has small exfoliating beads. It’s good to use before applying the self tanning lotion. It smells like mint and isn’t really strong so it won’t bother people with sensitive noses. You just need a small amount and it will exfoliate your entire leg/arm. I really think this product by itself is really worth purchasing. It’s also paraben free and cruelty free. I like it a lot!

-Sun Labs Self Tanning Lotion (Dark): This lotion can be purchased in the trio or alone for $28.50 for 8oz. (I think it’s cheaper in the trio). The tanner comes in different colors to fit people of different skin tones. It comes in medium, dark, and ultra dark. Medium is for super pale people who don’t want to looks too tan, dark is for people who are medium skin toned, and ultra dark is for people who already have a tanned body but want to enhance their tan. I like this a lot because it stays on for a week on me (with proper maintaining) and its paraben and cruelty free. It smells like Dr Pepper just for the reference. It’s also tinted which helps you realize where you’re applying the lotion. The good thing is that it has a pump so you can control how much you’re taking out of the bottle. With a clear one, you might miss a spot. I really think it’s a must have for all pale chicks in the summer since it lasts a really long time!!


-Sun Labs Tan Moisturizer/Maintainer: This product also comes only in the trio set ($39.95) which contains 8oz. of product. It’s a white maintainer moisturizer which helps your tan stay on longer. It helps to keep the moisture in as well as the tan. It smells like aloe and works really great. I think you’ll all enjoy this product since it’s also cruelty and paraben free.


-Sun Labs Body Polisher set: This seems like the dupe to the infamous Clarasonic. It comes with a face buffer (it helped me in the absorption of my facial moisturizers), a body buffer (in conjunction with the exfoliant it prepped my skin for the tanner by exfoliating), the face buffer (helps exfoliate my skin and works with any cleanser), and a pumice stone (helps get rid of dead skin cells in my knees, elbows and heels). All of these products work great with the Sun Labs exfoliant. This body polisher set with the beach bag (which I have). I love the pumice stone the most. It’s the best product I’ve probably ever used before. I think it’s a great dupe for the Clarasonic and at just $59.95 (you also get the Juniper body set) you cannot pass up an offer like that.








-Juniper Bath and Body Set: It comes with 8oz. of juniper berry scented lotion, cleansing gel, and exfoliant. It also works very well in conjunction with the body polisher set. The lotion moisturizes well, the exfoliator works really well even on its own, and the cleansing gel cleanses my body really well. It retails for $25 by itself, but if you want it with the beach bag and polisher set, its $59.95. I think that it’s amazing and you should really think about investing in it!

Review: Karma Organic Exfoliating Scrub

Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing the Karma Organic Exfoliating Scrub. It retails for $16 off of their website (link in the side bar). This scrub is a sugar based scrub which is concocted of organic sugar and moisturizing oils. When you actually open it (as seen in the picture below), it looks like tons of sugar in a huge pool of oil. I forgot to mix it up so in my first couple of uses, I got tons of oil content. Afterwards though, it was the perfect consistency to use normally. Keep reading to see my full review on this scrub!

Pro(s):
-It exfoliates really nicely and leaves your skin non-greasy and very soft.
-It comes in 3 different scents (geranium, lavender, rosemary).
-They are organic made of coconut oil, almond oil, and rice brand oil.

Con(s):
-Some people might be bothered by digging their hands in a pool of oil and sugar.
-If you cannot afford it, sugar and baby oil will work.

Overall review: I really liked this scrub. I used it before waxing and after waxing and I haven’t gotten any ingrown hairs. All you have to do is rinse it off with soap and water or else your skin will feel too oily. It’s good for dry skin and it’s not abrasive at all. This is best for your body as in legs and arms since it will feel too oily on your face. If you cannot be set back $16 then I suggest opting out for baby oil and sugar. I hope all of you enjoyed this review. Enjoy!

Rating: 9/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yes, but if you can’t afford to be set back $16 then sugar and baby oil will work just fine.

Review: Motives Cosmetics Lip Pumice

Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing an amazing lip exfoliator. It’s called the Motives Cosmetics Lip Pumice. The reason it’s called this is because it acts like a pumice stone for your lips without being overly abrasive. It comes in a lipstick like tube and smells like mint. It’s white looking and has black exfoliating kernels of some sort. It retails for $14.95 on their site (link in the side). MAC had a limited edition product like this that came out with the Volcanic Ash Collection. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-Gently exfoliates while the white balm conditions.
-Isn’t too harsh so you can use every day.
-Helps my lipstick and gloss apply smoothly.

Con(s):
-If you can survive with sugar and baby oil, don’t buy this.

Overall review: I really like the overall concept of this product. I didn’t purchase the MAC one, but rumor has it that MAC and Motives Cosmetics have the same manufacturer. Nonetheless, I believe that if you cannot afford a $15 exfoliator, you will be able to do the same with baby oil and sugar. I personally would buy it again since its so travel friendly, easy to use, and just an amazing and creative concept. The packaging is in a twist up tube so it’s easy for on-the-go too. Thanks for reading and have a nice day!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Yup, I will definitely be buying a backup of this!

Review: Marie Veronique Organics Exfoliating Cleanser

Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Veronique Organics exfoliating cleanser which is part of step one of their skincare (cleanse). It retails for $35 from mvorganics.com. It smells very organic and it brown with small black exfoliating beads. It comes packaged in a glass bottle without a pump. Keep reading to see my

Pro(s):
-It doesn’t dry out my skin, but at the same time I exfoliated very nicely.
-It doesn’t Clog my pores and make me break out.
-It smells amazing because it’s a very organic scent.

Con(s):
-No pump in the bottle.

Overall review: I really love this cleanser. The cool thing is that you can use this everyday without frying out your skin. It’s gentle on the skin without stripping your skin of its natural oils. This is universal for all skin types which makes it even better since more than one person can use it. The small beads do not irritate my skin at least, but it might work differently for you. The consistency is runny which isn’t that bad, but sometimes you might pour out more than you need so I suggest buying a separate pump or putting an old pump on it. I hope all of you enjoyed this review!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes, I highly suggest getting this product!

Review: Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel

 

Hey girls! Today I’m reviewing the Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel. It retails for $45. You can get it from juicbeauty.com. It smells a lot like rotten apple, but a bit better. It’s not a sweet smell or anything. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!

Pro(s):
-It balanced out my skin.
-Its reasonable priced.
-It leaves my skin nice a dewy.

Con(s):
-It’s a bit hard to take off.

Overall review: I really like this peel. It’s easier to use than any other peel I’ve ever used. Since I use it once a week, my skin looks like it went down a shade because of all the dead skin build up that was exfoliated by the peel. When I said that it balanced out my skin it got rid of the oily patches of skin and the dry patches of skin. Everything is even now. The size is very portable and when I recently went on a cruise, it helped me to exfoliate my skin prior to tanning. I really liked it. Thanks to Rebecca for requesting it. I hope you enjoy sweetie!

Rating: 9.5/10

Is it VICKY approved? : Yup, I hope to get another one in the near future!

Review: Marie Louise Restoration Clear Gel

Hi girls, today I’ll be reviewing the Marie Louise Restoration Clear Gel. It’s basically an exfoliating gel that you should use one a week to remove dirt, makeup, and dead skin cells so the production of skin cells keeps on happening and doesn’t build up and age skin. It retails from marielouisecosmetics.com for $51. Keep reading to know more.

Pros:
-Nicely exfoliates without an abrasive feel.
-No particular disturbing scent!
-Colorless!
-Daily use isn’t necessary!

Con(s):
-A bit on the pricey side.

Overall review: I really like it although it’s a bit on the pricey side and you need a lot of pumps of product to be able to properly exfoliate. I normally take about 3 pumps (the minimum) and rub it into different areas f my skin gently (because it can cause damage if you rub too hard) and I feel grains on my hands and its actually my dead skin coming off in little balls, They aren’t very big, but just big enough to be able to see it with your naked eye (don’t worry, it’s not that small). You can actually see the dead skin cells in the little grains that rub off from the gel and they are very dark and dirty looking. I like the way it exfoliates without the little beads which kid of irritate my skin so this product will be on my Holy Grail list. I will probably ask for a backup on my B-Day! I hope you enjoyed my review!

Would I purchase it again? : Yes, but very pricey.

Rating: 10/10

Packaging: 10/10 conveniently in a bottle with a pump that delivers just the right amount of product.

Is it VICKY approved? : Yes; best for exfoliation!
