Vitacost + Reviva Labs

 Hi!

Hope all is well! :)

I wanted to share a little review on Reviva Labs 10% Glycolic Acid Cream and my experience shopping at Vitacost. Right off the bat I'm going to say I'm 100% happy with both! :) I took these photos early this morning so the lighting is bla. 

Anyhow I bought this cream because I was looking for a good glycolic acid night treatment that would help gently exfoliate my skin (I have normal skin that gets dryer in the winter and my t-zone oilier in the summer, reddness and hyperpigmentation) AND I don't want any nasty ingredients. 

I have been using this for over a month and I have to say I'm very happy with it. I have noticed that my skin feel smoother and less congested. As for my hyperpigmentation...I think more time is need but I do see improvement. This does sting when first put on...but I had no negative reaction and if I feel my skin needs a little extra moisture I will apply my argan oil on top.

For more info on this cream (ingredients, direction) click here.

I really recommend Vitacost especially for people living in Croatia because there's such a huge selection, there's always great sales going on (they ship worldwide). We have a few green shops here in Zagreb that don't compare in selection of budget friendly prices. I just got my second order (Andalou Naturals, I'll update on this product once I get a chance to test it out) yesterday...it takes about a week.

Logona Double Lip Pencil

 Hi!

If you're just interested in who won my little giveaway then click here! :)

Last week or so I discovered a new 'green' shop called Green. LOL. I stopped in to take a look and of coarse couldn't leave without buying some kale chips. Might I just add that the women working in the shop were super friendly and full of info...and I got some samples to try out.

I've always been green...I mean I do my best. And I've been switching my cosmetics to natural, green ones so when I saw the Logona cosmetics section in the shop I had to give something a try.

And that something is the Double Lip Pencil in shade 01 Bronze. To be honest the only negative thing I have to say about this product is the name...Bronze...really there's nothing bronze about it in my opinion. I find it to be a mauve colour which is perfect for everyday...your lips but better.

Here's a little info I found...click here for the ingredients.

'This excellent lip pencil is made with the finest natural ingredients in order to care for and pamper the sensitive skin of your lips. It is rich in botanical oils such as castor oil, shea butter and waxes such as beeswax, carnauba and candelilla. These natural oils help to moisturize your lips and keep them soft, supple and healthy so that they will look youthful and beautiful. Our Logona Double Lip Pencil also contains anti-aging organic botanical ingredients including brown algae, apple seed extracts and cranberry seed oil.'

As you can see from the swatches on my arm it's pretty close to Revlon's Mauve It Over (which is one of my favourite lipsticks and have been on the search for a 'green' dupe) especially the lighter shade of the Double Lip pencil.

So one side of the pencil is a shade lighter than the other. It goes on smooth, no drying on my lips and lasts long (as you would expect from a pencil). I would say both shades are satin/matte which I prefer....do not give me lip gloss...I can't stand the feeling of lip gloss on my lips!

I tried to photograph myself wearing it and I just don't know how to take a selfie...the angle is always unflattering...like looking up my nose or something so the arm swatch it is. :)

I love this product and will be checking out the other shades available.

Now....if you need a little crafty inspiration pop on over to the JD blog and check out an adorable card I blog spotted using my Hello Friend stamp set.
