Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum

Looking for radiant, beautiful skin? Then you need to give Valentia's Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum a try! Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum is formulated to bring out your best self. It is infused with a unique blend of botanicals, essential oils, & vitamins. This serum supports circulation & reoxygenation. 




I'll now tell you about what this serum is supposed to do & the key ingredients that make up this wonderful serum. 

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum was made to:

  • Renew texture & tone
  • Deeply moisturize
  • Minimize fine lines
  • Increase elasticity
  • Brighten & Plump fine lines
  • Even hyperpigmentation






The ingredients include:


  • Wakame Bioferment (Seaweed): Increases skin oxygen consumption to detoxify & boost antioxidant defenses. 
  • Gotu Kola: Lessens the appearance of scaring from acne & hyperpigmentation, & increases skin firmness. 
  • Lactic Acid: A natural Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that increases skin cell turnover, for healthier renewed skin. 
  • Licorice: Lightens unwanted pigmentation & corrects skin discoloration. 
  • Argan Oil: Naturally rich in Vitamin E, this oil reduces water loss & protects skin resiliency & elasticity. 
The directions are simple: 
  1.  Cleanse face
  2.  Apply 1-2 pumps of serum to face & neck (each night)
  3.  After absorption follow with moisturizer & eye product of choice

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum comes in a nice glass bottle with an easy to use plastic pump.




Since I have been using Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum I have honestly noticed a difference in my face, it feels smoother, firmer, & I have noticed a more even skin tone. I have been using this serum every night right after I cleanse my face, I then follow with the moisturizer of choice. It only takes me two pushes of the pump to apply this serum to my entire face & neck area, a little goes a long way as it is pretty easy to spread. The texture of Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum is really lightweight & it dries pretty fast after it is evenly applied to the face & neck. The smell of this serum is a citrus smell & to me it smells amazing! My husband said the smell of this serum reminds him of orange creamsicle. I have really enjoyed using this serum every night just because of the smell itself (& of course because of the benefits I have received from using it)! 

Now to tell you a little about Valentia itself! Valentia is a company that is cruelty free (thank you Valentia!), uses sustainable energy, vegan friendly, made in the USA, it's products include organic ingredients, & 98% natural ingredients!

EVERYDAY ENERGY SHOTS

  Ready to have hours of energy & metal focus? Lucky for you, you no longer have to look! I have found the product for you!



Everyday Energy Shots are really neat, they are actually the first energy shot available in powder form that have a healthy, proprietary powder blend that includes essential vitamins & herbs that provide energy & mental focus! These energy shots come in a super convenient 100% recyclable paper packet, so they literally can be taken anywhere & are environmentally friendly! I received a box that included ten packets of the Everyday Energy Shot powder. 

The directions are very simple:
  • Empty 1 stick packet into your water bottle, favorite sports drink, Orange Juice, or make a smoothie with it.
  • Shake bottle or stir (of course if you made a smoothie, a blender was probably used so this step is not necessary).  
  • Drink & ENJOY! 
These energy shots contain 0 grams of sugar & are only 4 calories, & contain 75 mg of caffeine per packet! The ingredients used in the Everyday Energy Shots are either found naturally or are organic & generally recognized as safe. This product is manufactured in a FDA inspected, cGMP-compliant facility.

Each energy shot packet is 2.0 grams (or 0.07 oz) & is a lemon-lime flavor. 

After trying Everyday Energy Shots I have found them to be quite helpful! Whenever I first added the shot packet to my water, I kind of figured that they would have a bit of a harsh taste to them. I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I was wrong & the energy powder actually made my water taste like lemonade! The overall taste of Everyday Energy Shots is really good! I think that these shots did a wonderful job at giving me energy & helping me focus. I made sure to give these shots a try whenever I was pretty groggy, but needed to get my day going. Everyday Energy Shots gave me the energy & mental focus that I desperately needed to accomplish my day. I have two toddlers so I can use all the extra energy that I can get! 

Interested in purchasing Everyday Energy Shots to get your day going? You can purchase them at the link provided below!

I received a box of Everyday Energy Shot powder packets for free for my honest opinion & thoughts of this product. 

MAKE Beauty

Searching for some wonderful make up products? Look no further, I have found the best lipstick & eyeshadow & I am ready to tell you all about it!

I recently received a sample of lipstick & eyeshadow from MAKE beauty to use & review! 



The sample of silk cream lipstick that I received is a bit small, however that is alright because it doesn't take much & I can easily use this a few times to get an idea of if I like it or not. I received the shade Taffy. I really love the color of this lipstick, it's calm & not overpowering giving it the perfect color for everyday wear! I have noticed that it stays on for quite a while & it also has a nice smooth feel on the lips.


This silk cream lipstick has a vivid, saturated color that doubles as a protective moisturizing treatment with anti-oxidant vitamins, rosehip, soybean, & safflower oils. Aloe & chamomile extracts further condition the lips. 


I love that I can give my lips the perfect color with this silk cream lipstick in the color Taffy & help condition them at the same time. It's a two for one lipstick, who can complain with that?! 

The sample of eyeshadow that I received from MAKE is matte finish Alabaster. It's a nice light color & I think it would be perfect to use right under the eyebrow area as I like to use lighter colors in that area to highlight. However, I did use it as an all over eye color & it looks marvelous! 

This matte finish eyeshadow is crease-resistant & oil-free so it stays fresh looking for hours! It's made with Vitamins C & E to provide anti-oxidant protection to the delicate eye areas. You can apply this eyeshadow dry or wet for a more intense finish. 












MAKE Beauty is always paraben-free & NEVER tested on animals!! Part of MAKE's sales are donated to their non-profit partner, We See Beauty Foundation, which supports women-led, worker-owned cooperative businesses across the Americas!

I definitely recommend giving both these products a try, they are beautiful! I know I will be purchasing more of the wonderful silk cream lipstick in Taffy for sure!

You can get these wonderful silk cream lipsticks, matte finish eyeshadow, & much more through the link below & best of all since you are one of my blog readers you get to enjoy 20% off from now till 5/31/16, by using code MAKEYOURSELF at checkout!

Country Crock Original

Thanks to Influenster (a wonderful product testing site & app) & Country Crock, I recently received a coupon for a full tub of Country Crock to try & review for free for my unbiased review. 


I must say that I am really impressed with my experience with Country Crock Original! I have used it to bake cookies, which turned out wonderfully delicious! I have also been using it to cook hot dogs (whenever I fry them in a skillet) & whenever making grilled cheese! My family & I have also been using it in our baked potatoes & other foods that call for some butter! 

I love the overall taste of Country Crock Original & I know that whenever I purchase it I can never go wrong! Country Crock Original is very spreadable making it easy to go on everything! I really like how Country Crock has changed the shape of the tub, because it now fits easily into my fridge, without taking up a bunch of space. 

I definitely recommend that everyone at least gives Country Crock Original a try, you'll love that you did!

OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer

Let me tell you about this awesome retinol moisturizer by OZ Naturals! This specific moisturizer is an all natural product that is free of alcohol, parabens, PABAS or sulfates! 




OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer was made with a powerful cocktail of antioxidants & Vitamin A to diminish fine lines, wrinkles, & premature aging due to sun exposure! 

The key ingredients in this product include:

  • Vitamin A: which works to naturally exfoliate dead skin cells, aiding the skin's cell turnover rate. Regular use of Vitamin A can lighten hyperpigmentation, minimize fine lines & wrinkles, combat aggravated, ruddy skin tones & improve overall tone & clarity. 
  • Hyaluronic Acid: with the ability to hold 1,000 it's weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid pulls moisture deep into the skin & holds it there. Regular use of Hyaluronic Acid aids in plumping the skin to appear more youthful & smooths skin for a softer, silkier feel. 
  • Vitamin E: is a powerful antioxidant that works to neutralize free radicals & prevent cellular damage, Vitamin E protects, repairs, soothes, & moisturizes skin. 
  • Green Tea: has well-documented antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce skin damage by quenching free radicals & reducing inflammation
  • Panthenol (Vitamin B): a natural humectant, which penetrates the lower layers of the skin to help retain moisture & provide a soft, smooth appearance. Its exfoliating properties also fight free radicals & promote new, healthy skin cells. 
  • Jojoba Oil: loaded with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, Vitamin E, & sterols (lipid-like compounds that reduce inflammation & improve skin metabolism). Because it is rapidly absorbed by the skin, it makes a highly effective moisturizer & can improve the appearance of dry, flaky skin, as well as oily, acneic skin.

OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer is a clinical strength anti-wrinkle, anti-aging cream that will truly diminish the signs of aging while nourishing your skin with the most natural & potent ingredients available. Best of all this moisturizer is safe for all skin types so anyone can use it! 

The directions are very simple:

  • After cleansing, exfoliating, toning, & application of serums, apply over the entire face, neck, & decolleté.
  • Can be used morning & night.
  • Can be used under makeup.
  • If this moisturizer causes dryness to the skin, alternate days with a facial moisturizer without retinol.


The texture of this moisturizer is kind of thick & it doesn't take a lot of it, because it spreads out pretty evenly. I could actually smell the shea butter in it, which makes it a nice subtle smelling moisturizer compared to some other moisturizers that I have used in the past that were pretty strongly scented. I found that whenever I used OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer that it made my skin feel super soft & I did notice some of the lines on my face starting to disappear! I have been using this moisturizer at night since it has retinol in it & retinol isn't something that should be worn in the sun. I do cleanse my face in the morning to remove the moisturizer before I go out & I apply a SPF daily before leaving the house as well. My husband was the one who actually informed me that retinol is not to be worn in the sun & after I did some research I found that he was right! If you were to have retinol product on & be exposed to the sun it can actually age the skin faster! I don't think that a lot of people know this, so I felt like I should address this in my post. On the box it states that this moisturizer may cause dryness, however I haven't noticed any dryness on my face since I have used this moisturizer.  


I have really enjoyed using OZ Naturals Super Youth Retinol Moisturizer & think that it is a wonderful product! I definitely recommend everyone give this moisturizer a try! 

I love that OZ Naturals is a company that is cruelty free & I can't thank them enough for being cruelty free! They also are made in the USA & 97.9% natural!
