Hey girls! Long time no blog. Well at least it felt like that. Today I will be reviewing an affordable and exfoliating soap. It’s called the Seed Grape Seed Enriched Moisturizing Body Soap. It retails for $4.49 at their online store and at Whole Food stores. They have two different scents available; unscented and invigorating citrus thyme. They have strawberry, apricot, and pomegranate seeds in it to exfoliate. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Not abrasive at all and very affordable.
-Moisturizing and doesn’t leave any scum.
-I wasn’t allergic to it and I have really sensitive skin.
Con(s):
-The organic scent may annoy sensitive noses.
Overall review: I really like this soap since it’s really moisturizing and naturally exfoliating. I looked at the soap and thought that it was going to hurt, but then I used it for up to a month and a half at it actually felt massaging in some way. It’s also organic and very affordable. When I got it, I thought it was probably very expensive since it does a really good job. It just smells very organic which people might not like and that’s why they made an unscented version. It has grape seed oil in it which is the moisturizing agent. I really like this and would recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin or anyone else who wants a good exfoliating soap. Thanks to Rina for requesting this review and I hope everyone enjoyed!

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!

Review: Karma Organic Spa Nail Polish
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Karma Organic Spa Nail Polishes. The shades I have them are in 2 Deep Red and 87 Café Au Lait. 2 Deep Red is a true red. This stuff is even in about two-three coats and it’s a crème. 87 Café Au Lait is shimmery beige/champagne color with shimmer. I think this is a frost shade. This retails for $9.99 from karmaorganicspa.com. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-Very pigmented since it’s even in two-three coats.
-It doesn’t have a very thick consistency or too runny consistency.
-It formulated without the three “bad ingredients” which are DBP, formaldehyde, and toluene.
Con(s):
-Doesn’t dry very fast.
Overall review: I love these polishes. They aren’t the most expensive polishes, but they aren’t the cheapest either. Their consistency is perfect in my opinion. It doesn’t streak at all. It goes on evenly without leaving bald spots on the nail beds. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t dry super fast because of its consistency. I hope all of you enjoyed this review and more will be coming soon!

Review: Seed Grape Seed Enriched Body Lotion
Hey girls! Today I’ll be reviewing the Seed Power Body Lotion. These come in three different scents. One is unscented, the next one is restful lavender sage, and the final one is invigorating citrus thyme. Their retail price is $7.99 . You can purchase them off of seedpowerbodycare.com. They also have a “Where to Buy” section so you might want to check in that area and you can definitely get them at Whole Foods stores.. Keep reading to see my thoughts on this product!
Pro(s):
-It’s very moisturizing because it has shea butter as a main ingredient.
-Its 100% natural and organic.
-The packaging is convenient in a pump styled plastic bottle.
Con(s):
-Some people might be disturbed by the super organic scent of all of them. It’s just an ingredient.
Overall review: I honestly think that this stuff has everything a woman would ever want in her moisturizer however the smell is unbearable. It just smells too organic and I don’t like that smell. Well at least whenever I smell it I know that its organic and not harming the environment. The scent fades in a couple of minutes so it’s not that bad. You will survive unless you have a very sensitive nose. Thanks to Maria B. for requesting this review and I hope you like 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!
