Color Me So Crazy

**Press Samples** Today, I am showcasing a new brand, to me, that has been helping me work on my crazy skin! During this transition time between winter and spring, my skin freaks out. So, this is the perfect time to try out a new skin are routine to kickstart some new actions with my pores.  Calysta Labs  was introduced to me by a local firm. I read a little bit about their mission and I decided that I would love to try out some of their products. Meticulously combining products to provide an outcome of smoother, younger, healthier looking skin. I got to try three different products all picked to help smooth out my skin and fight that nasty acne flares that I have popping out.  Restorative Foaming Cleanser  This is a gentle cleanser that helps brighten and softer the skin. It has a mild scent and an even milder feel. I have super sensitive skin that like to have a break out party whenever I change cleansers or deviate from my skincare routine. Also,...

**Press Samples** DERMA-E  has been making my skin sing with love for quite some time now. Every time I have had a new a problem pop up, Derma-e has come to the rescue. This time, I got to share with family members. My husband and my daughter got to benefit from these two wonders!  Psorzema Cream My daughter has periods of eczema that is very stressful and uncomfortable for her. She's six years old and has super sensitive skin to begin with. When this product came across my doorstep, I was so excited to be able to try it on her. She, at the time, happened to be having a flare up so it was perfect timing. I do have prescription products to use on her, but they are so expensive and have side effects. I would much rather use something that is under $20 and made with vitamins and herbal extracts.  The Psorzema Cream is made with ingredients such as Neem, Burdock, Bearberry, and Vitamins A and E. They all help soften and soothe dry, irritated skin. The way I ...

**Product Review** I am so excited to share this new skincare routine with you! Derma MD Skincare approached me about trying out a couple products from their skincare line to see how they would help me with my self- identified skin issues. After a brief consultation, they set me up with a daytime and nighttime routine that would help me get rid of acne breakouts and uneven skin tone. I'm going to walk you through my routines that I have been using for the last 30 days and the products used and then I want to talk a little about Derma MD and what they have to offer.   My morning routine starts off with the Wasabi Cleaner . This cleanser is designed to remove surface oil, bacteria and anything else that is on your face from the night before without taking away your natural oils. It includes ingredients such as Wasabia Japonica Root Extract which has anti-baterial properties and Lactic Acid with helps with your cell reproduction.  Next is the Wasabi Refining Ton...

**Sponsored by BrandBacker** I was given the LumaPro-C Skin Brightening Pigment Corrector a little over 30 days ago to add to my regular skincare routine. I use it as the step right before my moisturizer and after my prescriptions. The directions said to use 1 full pump, but I actually ended up needing a little less. I wanted to use this to help brighten up some of my dark spots from acne scarring and to help get a more even skin tone. Formulated with Vitamin C and Resveratrol, LumaPro-C retails for $148. Now that you have all the facts, this is how I feel about my experience. LumaPro-C comes in a pump top package; which I love! It keeps all those germs out. It smells fantastic and not medicinal at all. It's smooth and creamy and not greasy. It also mixed very well with my current routine. I have seen a slight difference in my overall pigment. I actually have not this comfortable wearing zero face makeup than I have since I started using LumaPro-C . I do like using thi...

**Sponsored by BrandBacker** I always get so excited every time I get to try a new Exuviance product from  www.exuviance.com . They always come out with something I happen to need in my life and I am lucky enough to use it. The Evening Restorative Complex is a fantastic little product. It is only $48, which I think is worth it for what it does to my skin.  The Evening Restorative Complex is worn at night every day for the best results. It is a rich, creamy mint green in color and it smells fantastic. I have been using this as my second to last step right before my moisturizer. I could almost use it as a moisturizer if it wasn't winter time and my skin wasn't so thirsty. Exuviance's blend of Powerful Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) Gluconolactone helps to improve overall texture through targeting wrinkles, fine lines and skin tone.  I have been using this for 4 weeks. I have noticed a smoother feeling and looking skin. I can visibly seen a different with my over...

**Press Sample**Sponsored Giveaway** Vitamin C has become my new best friend in the fight against uneven complexion and scarring. Reviva Labs offers a **New** product called Ultra-Potency Vitamin C+ Antioxidant Serum with Emblica. I was so excited to test this product out and I am even more excited to offer a bottle for one of my lucky US readers!! Emblica is also known as Indian Gooseberry which is a sour fruit. It's sour in taste and most people use it by steeping it in salt water and chili powder to take away the sour taste. This is the hottest, new naturally occurring product to use in beauty. This not only protects your skin from daily radicals, but also against Nitrogen. Something that other serums leave out. The Reviva Labs Ultra Potency Vitamin C+ Serum is meant to be worn during the day since that's when most of the damage occurs. It can also be used during a nighttime routine but the preferred time under a day cream. There are sooooo many benefits:...

**Powered by BrandBacker** This is "ALLURE MAGAZINE'S Best In Beauty Eye Gel and it's considered to be the most effective anti aging, eye cream treatment available". OZ Naturals is one of my favorite natural beauty product brads. I have several in my circle and this one is just great. It is fairly priced and it just works. There are no frills, this is just plain "skin science".  The Super Youth Eye Gel is cruelty free, safe for all skin types, paraben free, sulfate free, alcohol free, 100% natural, and 75% organic. This is packed with plant stem cells, Matrixyl 3000, peptide complex, hyaluronic acid and vitamin E which all comes together to make this SUPER Youth Eye Gel. It activates to reduce dark circles, wrinkles, sagging skin, reduce puffiness and dryness. I know this says 'eye gel' BUT honestly, I use this on other areas of my face. I use this on my target areas. This tightens my pores, my nasolabial areas, my budding crow...

**Powered by BrandBacker** I am back with two awesomely, great products from Valentia! I just love this brand. Their products are ultra luxury and for some reason, they don't aggravate my skin. Today, I am bringing you something that plumps and something that glows! Super special!! Valentia True Glow Eye Cream I would say this is a Creum or a Seram (a combo of a cream and serum). Yes, I did that... I married those words. Anyways, This is an intensive corrective eye treatment that reduces wrinkles, tightens the eye area, brightens dark circles, restores radiance and nourishes. The main ingredients are Astanxanthin, Resistem, Vitamin C, Organic Rosehip Oil and Amica.  It is meant to be applied morning and night and by applied I mean just tap (lightly) around the eye area. This has a slight citrus scent to and it is heavenly. I have tried their True Glow Eye Serum before and this has soooo much of a better application and absorption. My skin doesn't feel too tight af...

I have been using both of these every other day for the past 3 weeks and I just love the results. I have oily, problem skin (all of you know this because I complain all the time about it) and I have been searching for what is going to help me rid or at least help reduce my breakouts.    Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub This product smells amazzzzzing! It's made with Green and White tea but it has a citrus smell to it. I really, really like this product. With continued use, it has really helped calm the redness on my face, control breakouts and eliminate any blackheads. This has been a miracle product for me- truly! Important Ingredients: Aloe Vera:  This nutrient rich botanical moisturizes the skin and fights aging by improving skin firmness . In addition, this also helps with the redness...

**Powered by BrandBacker** Today, I have a product that claims to be able to instantly create a radiant complexion, stimulate fresh new skin cells and bring to life & strengthen stressed skin. I have been testing this for a couple weeks now and I think I am able to give you an answer as to if this product can deliver.  Exuviance is a company that works under NeoStrata Inc. I have worked with a couple NeoStrata products before so I am super glad to be able to show you an actual Exuviance product because they are amaaaazzzing! Exuviance has been giving me the love of Glycolic Acid in so many different ways over the last couple of years. I have tried a couple different products from them so when I saw this one, I was thrilled to try it. Their products ( www.exuviance.com ) always seem to yield great results and still smell fantastic. This one isn't any different. This is a tiny jar of magic or as they call it "Bionic Tonic". Like hello, how cool is that. It sou...

**Product Review** I am so excited to have this type of product back in my life! I have taken Hylauonic Acid out of my routine just because I ran out and have not been able to find a quality brand that I wanted to use again. When I had to opportunity from OZ Naturals, I hopped right on it! I have tried so many products from this company that I was super happy to give this one a try.  HA has to stay in my rotation and I will tell you why. This product really just acts as a cushion and a plumper for our skin. This is super important because between all the elements we face each day and for what torturous things we do to our skin we need a barrier to help keep our skin plump, soft and supple. Since HA is naturally occurring, we already have it in our body BUT the production decreases with age. That is what contributes to those nasty wrinkles, fine lines and sagging. HA even may stimulate collagen product--- YAAASS please! Another reason, that I use HA, is that i...
