Product Review: 

Let’s be honest, I enjoyed too much comfort (and fast) food during the summer months.  After facing this harsh reality, I had to actively start my weight loss program.  Number one, I take pride in being healthy and monitoring my diet.  Number two, I’m petite and must be mindful of those “few extra pounds.”  Number three, it’s the holiday season and my wardrobe requires fitted a dress.

I received the assortment of Hyleys Slim Tea in the mail and honestly, didn’t know what to expect.  I am proud to share (with the use of moderate exercise) I have seen results from drinking the Slim Tea.  Yes, I lost a few pounds!

I would suggest reading the directions on the box which indicates the best time frame to drink the tea along with consumption.  This tea not only helps you lose weight but it also has a nice flavor.  I could taste the fruit infusion in each bag.

Remember, the tea also serves as a mild laxative but if you’re eating “clean” you should not have severe stomach cramps.  I am pleased with the results of the tea and encourage everyone to try it.  This is a great option if you’re seeking to lose weight without extreme measures.  Hyleys Slim Tea is affordable and can also be purchased online.  If you decide to try the tea and see results, please share in the comments box below!

JoJoba Rosehip Skin Care Oil – Product Review

The beautiful, brand new 100% Natural Jojoba and Rosehip Skin Care Oil is fresh out of Australia. What makes this product so unique is that it combines the carrying benefits of 100% Natural Jojoba with Rosehip Oil to deliver nutrients to the deeper layers of skin where Rosehip Oil is unable to go by itself.  Essentially, it makes Rosehip Oil work even better!  Here’s more information:

Rosehip Oil, like The Jojoba Company’s 100% Natural Australian Jojoba, is commonly used as a natural moisturizer and on skin conditions such as wrinkles and scarring. However, Rosehip Oil is a plant oil, a triglyceride which is only able to penetrate into the upper layers of skin. Therefore, it is not easily absorbed deep into the skin. As a result, this can clog skin pores leading to breakouts and blackheads.  On the other hand, Jojoba is the only plant in the world known to produce a liquid wax like that found in healthy, young human skin. Hence, when Jojoba is applied to skin it is instantly recognised as its own. Skin opens its pores and the Jojoba penetrates to the deeper layers of the skin carrying whatever is added to it with it:

Intense hydration

Naturally rich in antioxidants

Naturally rich in vitamins A, D & E

Naturally rich in omega fatty acids 3, 6 & 9

Suitable for all skin types

Ideal for scarring and stretch marks

Longer shelf life than Rosehip Oil

Suitable for all skin types

Product Review:

This amazing product showed up on my front door step in a beautiful lavender bottle.  I’m a sucker for details so that alone made me excited to try the product.

Like every woman (beyond a certain age) I was seeking a great multi-tasking skin care oil.  Personally, multi-tasking products make my life easier because they serve more than one function.  The significance of JoJoba + Rosehip Skin Care Oil is that it penetrates to deeper layers of the skin.  That’s a big factor for me because I suffer from dry skin; while most products only hydrate the surface area.  It’s also all natural, loaded with tons of healthy vitamins (read above.)

You can apply the JoJoba + Rosehip Skin Care Oil both morning and night.  I used the product on my face and around my tummy area (baby stretch marks) and legs.  I also applied it during the day when I noticed the appearance of dry spots.  This is a scent-less product and there’s no concern for smelling floral (or citrus) during the day.

Luster Premium White – Product Review

Lately, I have been an advocate for teeth whitening products because it’s an area that’s overlooked.  Having a beautiful smile is just as important as getting a spa manicure.

It goes beyond the ordinary whitening system and expands to owning a flouride and stain removing toothpaste. Luster Premium White has re-launched their Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride Toothpaste, a two-in-one daily fluoride + peroxide whitening toothpaste, with a completely new flavor and formula which is free of sulfates.

There’s only word to describe this toothpaste: AMAZING! After professionally whitening my teeth I wanted to maintain the results with Luster Premium White.  I used my normal dental regimen but incorporated this toothpaste for brushing. It worked wonders on my teeth and the flavor was nice as well.  Remember, this particular toothpaste has fluoride + peroxide which makes it a two in one formula.

unnamed

More about the product:

Power White Deep Stain Eraser® Fluoride Toothpaste – SULFATE FREE ($ 6.99)

Covergirl Super Sizer Mascara and Intensify Me Liquid Eyeliner

I have always been a fan of Covergirl cosmetics.  Their brand embodies the stylish, care-free beauty guru. She’s the girl next door wearing a bold nail color and likes to purchase an eyeshadow quad for a reasonable price!

FullSizeRender (76)

The latest product to join the Covergirl Collection is the Super Sizer by LashBlast® Mascara and Intensify Me! Liquid Eyeliner by LashBlast.  I received both products from the company and could not wait to start using them.

If you’re a consistent reader of this site and follow my Instagram account, you’re aware of my battle to intensify the eye area.  I am constantly seeking quality products to enhance my eyelashes and top lid.

Style + Life + Fashion Review –

Number one, the Super Sizer by LashBlast Mascara has an amazing small wand that enables the mascara to grasp every lash.  This gives volume and it’s a waterproof product.  We’re traveling to the beach or hanging out by the pool and that doesn’t mean we can’t look fabulous!

covergirl_super_sizer_mascara

Number two, the Liquid Eyeliner by LashBlast has a really cool tip…it’s actually flat.  That’s important because beauty girls can draw an accurate line on their top lid.  The liner is also sensitive to the eyes which is very important this time of the year.

If you don’t believe me, purchase and try for yourself.  I guarantee that you will be pleased with both products.  Share your experience with me in the comments section or email kim@stylelifefashion.com

Product Review: JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray

Hydrating, Antioxidant, Sensitive to Skin, Dermatologist Formulated…all of the words that describe JoJoba Mist and CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray.  I received both sprays in the mail for a product review.

My skin care regimen includes using a quality cleanser and moisturizer before bedtime.  I decided to replace my normal face lotion with the JoJoba Antioxidant Hydrating Mist.  Honestly, I can’t live without this product!  It’s a light face mist with an all natural scent.  My skin had a radiant glow with the appearance of leaving a spa appointment.

The CapriClear Coconut Oil Spray (just like the name) is 100% all natural ingredient.  I like to use this product on areas that need restoration such as the scar on my leg or the stretchmark on my thigh.  I’m still actively using this product for results and it’s the perfect after shower spray.

It can also be used daily (as many times as you like) fragrance free and hypoallergenic.  Both products fit in your handbag or cosmetic pouf to ensure you’re ready for hydration or skin moisturizing.  Visit JoJobaCompany.com or CapriClear.com

Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System – Product Review and Holiday Deals

For the last three years I have made an attempt to purchase a Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System.  This professional face and body polisher was a priority because I’ve seen wonderful results in magazines and blogs.  To my surprise (and excitement) I was able to test this product for the first time last night!

image003

I opened the package and received a total of 5 attachments that connects to the waterproof device.  As previously stated, yes…this product is waterproof and can be used in the shower, bath, or sink.  The Spa Sonic Pro Skin Care System was a major plus (and not just because this is a product review) for various reasons.  Number one, the speed of the skin care system was appropriate for use on your face, legs, or feet.  Number two, its battery operated which means there’s no need to charge the device prior to use.  Number three, the size of the Spa Sonic Skin Care System is suitable and not heavy in weight.

I decided to use my Spa Sonic Skin Care System with Pevonia Skin Care Products and received great results.  My face felt smooth and hydrated with the appearance of leaving a day spa.  Overall, I suggest this product to anyone that’s incorporating a new skin care regimen and looking for a product that’s affordable and easy to use.

Spa Sonic is hosting the following deals through the holiday season:

Pevonia Stem Cells Phyto – Elite Product Line and Skincare Review

Pevonia is a skincare line created with natural ingredients that can be found at your local spa.  I’m a skincare fanatic and had the opportunity to review Pevonia Stem Cells Phyto – Elite Foaming Cleanser, Intensive Serum, and Intensive Cream.

Pevonia

To start, the actual product container arrived in a beautiful gold/black bottle which looks very pretty and gives the appearance of luxury.  When using this product line, the company suggests starting with:

1.  Multi – Active Foaming Cleanser:  one – step formula to cleanse and tone

2.  Intensive Serum:  protecting and energizing skin cells

3.  Intensive Cream:  smoothes lines and wrinkles; hydrates the skin

This skincare collection left my face feeling hydrated with a radiate glow.  I also loved the smell of the foaming cleanser (during application) and made me eager to see my skin for results.  To be honest, the intensive cream is one the best face creams that I’ve ever used with my daily routine.

Stem Cells Phyto-Elite(TM) Collection (PRNewsFoto/Pevonia)

I suggest when having skincare problems to start a new regimen but most importantly use quality products that will meet your individual needs. Pevonia is the perfect product line because the company allows you to address your skincare concerns and customers can make their selections according to the product type, product list, and starter kits.  Visit their website or local day spa for Pevonia products.

Fox 45 News Segment – Beverages to Help Us Trim Calories for Beach Season

With the summer season around the corner, we are all looking to shed a few pounds. Not to the point that we are unhealthy, but in a fashion that will allow us to feel comfortable in our favorite maxi dress.

Last week I was asked to host a segment at Fox 45 News discussing “how to easily trim calories to kick – start a healthy and fit beach season.” This was the perfect opportunity for me because I am actively working (or trying…smile) to be fit and trim for the summer season. But most importantly, we don’t realize the number of calories we consume daily through beverages such as iced coffee, carbonated sodas, and energy drinks.

Colbalt Blue Blouse: Bebe | White Capri Jeans: New York & Co.

The healthy alternative products shared were Real Beanz, Sparkling Ice, and Celsuis. All of the beverages are infused with vitamins which are great when we need an extra boost of energy. Personally, I enjoyed testing all of the products but my favorite was the flavored Sparkling Ice.

The segment was very informative and made us aware of small areas that we can cut a few calories. It also helped to motivate viewers while on their weight loss journey.

Beauty Box 5 March Subscription Box – Tree Hunt Shea Body Butter Favorite

Beauty Box 5 sent this fabulous set of products in the mail. This month’s box included Jane’s Pick (handmade) Soap, Tree Hunt Shea Body Butter, Swisscom Dual-sided Facial Pad, Bellapierre Makeup Base, and Design Essentials Natural Curl Enhancing Mousse.

In every subscription box I have a product that’s my favorite and this month was no exception. My favorite item that I received was the Tree Hunt Shea Body Butter with a Coconut Lime scent.

I’ve tested Tree Hunt products before but when I opened this cream I feel in love! The smell is very “delicious” and the cream glides on nicely. I am completely sold on this product and now searching for the scrub (in the same scent.)

Overall, I am still in the process of using my Bellapierre Makeup Base but will probably test it out this weekend for my next lifestyle segment.

I am always eager to receive my Beauty Box 5 subscription in the mail because there’s a new theme every month and that’s pretty exciting for a beauty junkie!

Beauty Box 5 February Subscription and Fun Products

My monthly subscription from Beauty Box 5 arrived and I was pleased to receive all of the goodies in this month’s box.

The company sent over Every Beauty Makeup Remover Pads, Rockstar Nail Polish, Elizabeth Mott Mascara, H20 Plus Spa Hand & Nail Cream, and John Frieda Shampoo/Conditioner.

I was super excited to use the Elizabeth Mott Mascara because I actually needed to purchase a new tube, so my subscription box came right on time. And the product lived up to my expectation: no clumps, goes on smooth, and wears well through out the day.

The Rockstar Nail Polish was actually one of the first items that caught my attention due to my love of the color pink…the nail sprinkles and I am excited to have my “caviar” nails done!

And of course, I welcome receiving any new hand cream because there’s so much dry air this season. To sum it up, I am enjoying my subscription and will post an updated photo of the nail polish once I have my weekly manicure.
