Derma E

Let me tell you, this blogging is addictive!  Hopefully I'm actually doing this correctly, and someone out there in the world will see what I'm saying!

OK, product number three from the fabulous Naturals Vox Box I received from influenster.com was Derma E Facial Cleanser.  Now, I'm going to be honest - I usually use those cute little make-up remover/face wipes -yes, I'm lazy - but when I received this product, I sucked it up and said "I'm gonna give this a try!" and boy, am I glad I did!  I've been using the cleaner every morning in the shower - it has a great, invigorating tea tre oil scent.  My skin has been smooth, clear and blemish free since I started using it!

Here is some information about the product line in general:

Help clear up blemishes, prevent future breakouts and encourage healthy skin naturally with derma e®’s five interactive Very Clear® formulas. With a special blend of herbs including Tea Tree, Willow Bark, Rosewood, Lavender and Chamomile shown to be as effective as over-the-counter products but with fewer side effects, this advanced skincare system promotes a clearer, healthier complexion.

And the cleanser specifically:

• Helps fight bacteria to clear and prevent blemishes.
• Removes built-up dirt, oil and other debris.
• Utilizes a special blend of herbs including Tea Tree, Willow Bark, Rosewood, Lavender and Chamomile that has been shown to be as effective as over-the-counter products on blemish-prone skin but with fewer side effects. 
• Leaves skin clean and more balanced.
• Effective on both oily and dry skin, this formula will not leave a residue or irritate the skin.

Juice Beauty Review

OK, here we go - I think I published my first blog entry (Wen Cleansing Conditioner) correctly, so I'm gonna get crazy & start number 2!

Another product I received in my August Naturals Vox Box from influenster.com was Juice Beauty's Conditioning Lip Color.  The one I received was Fig - a nice, deep, purple (not TOO dark though!)

And the product itself:

This Conditioning Lip Color is a kiss of nature for your lips. The combination of antioxidant-rich berries, minerals and sweet orange is packed with the perfect amount of pucker-up color.

I am not usually a lip stick kind of girl - it's too dry, too matte and too much of a pain in the rear....so I was apprehensive.  But I was pleasantly surprised - the color was gorgeous, and my lips felt healthy and moisturized - not dry and icky.This product was another winner!

WEN by Chaz Dean

Ya'll will have to bear with me, because this is my first attempt at blogging!  I wanted to let everyone know about the fabulous progam I've been taking part of- I signed up with influenster.com, and was recently selected to receive their August Naturals Vox Box.  It was filled with all sorts of fabulous natural products for me to try - now that I've had a chance to play around with them, I wanted to share my thoughts and feedback with the world!

The first product I'm going to review is the Wen Cleansing Conditioner (Almond Mint)- here is some information about it from the Influenster website:

WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is a revolutionary new concept in hair care. A 5-in-1 formula, this one product takes the place of your shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, detangler and leave-in conditioner. It cleanses hair thoroughly but without lathering and all the harsh ingredients that may be found in ordinary shampoos—it is designed so it won't strip your hair and scalp of their natural oils. Your hair is left with sheen, moisture, manageability and better color retention.
Unlike many ordinary shampoos, WEN®cleansers are made with natural ingredients and contain no sodium laurel sulfate or other damaging detergents. They don't lather; instead, they create smooth foam when mixed with water for shinier, healthier-looking, more manageable results.

WEN® Cleansing Conditioner is sold as a complete Healthy Haircare System of 3 products (Cleansing Conditioner, Styling Creme, Re Moist Intensive Hair Repair Mask) plus 2 bonus items (Texture Balm and Wide Tooth Shower Comb).  Learn more at www.notshampoo.com.

I've been using it for about 2 weeks, and so far, so good!  It was a little hard to get used to the idea that it doesn't lather - and sometimes, I wasn't quite sure if I'd rised all the product out.  I don't think I'll be using it everyday(it might make my straight/fine hair a little greasy) but every other day should be fine.

I give this product 2 thumbs up, and encourage everyone to check it out!
