Valentia True Glow Eye Cream Review

I received a bottle of Valentia True Glow Eye Cream at a discounted price in exchange for an honest product review. All opinions are my own. This post includes affiliate links and I may receive a small commission if you decide to purchase this product.

My friends and family have teased me since I was in my late teens because I am off and on obsessed about skin care [and in my late teens/early 20’s scared to death of getting wrinkles]. I have since calmed down with the obsession but I do feel having a skin care routine is important. If you take care of your skin, you will be so happy with the results for years (and even decades if we are being honest) to come.

I have to be honest, I haven’t been taking great care of my skin lately and for 2016 I plan on really stepping up my game. I want to have smooth, soft skin for as long as I can – great skin care will help with that.

For me, one issue I have had is dark circles and tiny wrinkles under my eyes from late nights (in the past it was insomnia, now it is blogging and working on business ideas.) [Side note: I am trying to do better on the sleeping thing as well.]

Well I recently came across Valentia True Glow Eye Cream and I think that this may be one of my favorite products at the moment. I really noticed a different in the firmness of the skin under my eyes and I do see a slight change in the pigment under them as well.

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream is specially formulated for your the skin under your eyes, however you can also use it on other parts of your face. I have not used it on other parts of my face, however, I think if it may work on your neck as far as skin tightening goes.

I really liked that just one pump gave enough product for both eyes. I always use my pinky finger to apply anything under my eyes. Just put a little product on the tip of your finger, make a few dots and dab until it is absorbed in.

My first time using it I could instantly feel it working on firming up they under eye area. Even though it comes out as almost a mustard color it absorbed into my skin and didn’t leave any strange color.

Valentia True Glow Eye Cream

As I mentioned above – I noticed a slight lightening of the dark circles under my eyes and I think if I am consistent it will be even better in a month or so. This really makes me happy because it is one of the reasons I don’t like to take pictures – you can see the shadows!

So far I am really enjoying Valentia True Glow Eye Cream and I would recommend it to anyone that has issues with the skin under their eyes. I will make sure to let y’all know the final results once I finish up this bottle.

Do you have any issues or concerns about the skin under your eyes? Have you tried Valentia True Glow Eye Cream? What are your thoughts on this product?

Explore Your Senses With Scentbird Perfume Subscription

This post is sponsored by Scentbird perfume subscription and I received a commission in exchange for collaborating with them. All opinions expressed are my own. If you would like more information please refer to my disclosure policy.

If you are like me – you have a collection of perfumes and scented body sprays. I tend to always purchase the same scents over and over, however, I also want to be able to try other fragrances as well. Sometimes I want to step out of my comfort zone and try a new fragrance but do not want to commit to purchasing a full bottle of it. When I heard about Scentbird, I just had to try it out.

Scentbird perfume

Scentbird is a monthly subscription for perfume lovers. Scentbird perfume subscription gives you access to 400 designer brands that you can try every month for just $14.95. For the monthly subscription price you receive a 30-day supply of the perfume you choose.

If you’re not sure about picking a perfume, Scentbird makes that easy for you. They use a Truscent™ perfume algorithm that will reveal the scents that are perfect for you. When you first sign up it asks about scents you currently enjoy and goes through a huge database of what they call “scent profiles” to find suggestions for you. From the suggestions, you can pick the one that you would like to receive for the month and they will ship it to you.

These are the fragrance suggestions that Scentbird gave me based on my preferences. I decided to try the first one listed Givenchy Very Irresistible Sensual which is described as “A seductive blend of a bouquet of various roses, star anise, patchouli, and vanilla. The creamy scent is housed in a beautiful purple bottle.”

Scentbird Perfume Suggestions

You can choose one of the suggestions or you can also pick something else that you think you would enjoy. If you know for sure which ones you are interested in you can build your queue (which can also be re-arranged if you change your mind about which fragrance you want to receive.) They also offer gift sets and subscriptions for men as well.

If you’re worried about not liking a particular fragrance – don’t you worry your pretty little self – Scentbirds allows you to try new fragrances every month without committing to a full bottle. Or if you’re like me, sometimes you are in a certain “scent mood” for awhile and it changes – with a different scent every month you get to try out different scents without having to splurge on a full size bottle. A girl has got to have options!

Thousands of women love Scentbird because it gives access to the best fragrances without breaking the bank. $14.95 a month is such a great deal for the opportunity to try out a new fragrance. They also offer you the opportunity to get a month for free by purchasing a month for a friend. Isn’t that great?

I hope that you found the Scentbird perfume subscription as exciting as I did. I am so excited to go and fill up my queue of new fragrances. I know some friends and family members that are going to love hearing about this as well.

Added bonus: They are currently running a great offer. If you give a free month to your friend, you get a free month when they subscribe. Click here for more information.

20% OFF AVON Coupon Code

Some of you may or may not know that I am an Independent Sales Representative for AVON. I have sold AVON in the past and stopped doing it for a long time because I got really busy and life happened. In 2015 I started selling AVON again because I love the products and the business opportunity.

Back when I first sold AVON they did not have the ability for representatives to have an online store. Now that they do it makes my life a lot easier as well as makes it easier for my customers that no longer live nearby to buy AVON. I think this is one of AVON‘s greatest ideas ever.

If you are interested in purchasing AVON products, feel free to shop my online store. The great thing about it is that you can shop at your convenience, day or night. Also, there are so many additional deals and discounts that are strictly for online customers.

If you want to save on your first online purchase you can use the below AVON Coupon Code to save 20% OFF. This special is only good for new eCustomers so make sure you buy all your favorites. Most of my customers will buy some gifts for people with their AVON coupon code and stock up on some of their favorites.

At my AVON store you can shop 24/7 and have your items shipped directly to your door. If you sign up as a new eCustomer and spend a minimum of $50 you will get 20% off of your purchase by entering the AVON coupon code WELCOME at checkout.

Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo Review

Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo

I love to share about products that I use and I was recently given a bottle of
Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo as a gift and since I loved it so much I thought I would share my experience by writing a product review about my experience with it.

At the moment my hair is in a transitioning stage – half natural and half chemically straightened – so it is important that I take care of it to prevent breakage. Even though I am a recovering product junkie, I only have a handful of products that I actually use in rotation. But since I got this as a gift and it seemed like something I might like, I decided to go ahead and try it out.

Side note: I normally do not use shampoo often – I do the no-poo method when I wash my hair and only use shampoo a couple of times a month. The reason I do the no-poo method is because my hair flourished once I stopped using shampoo as frequently. Most shampoos would dry out my hair and I believe they were part of the reason my hair was dry and brittle.

According to the bottle, Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo is derived from a unique blend of exotic Argan and Monoi Oils to gently cleanse and strengthen dry damaged hair, enahancing shine and smoothness. I have never used any products with Argan Oil in it but I hear that has recently became extremely popular in the beauty world. I liked the description of what it does so I was really excited to try it.

I normally like to wash my hair in the day time because I like to give it the full day to dry. This also gives me time to see how my hair is reacting to a product before I lay down to sleep. So on the day I initially tried
Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo I did my normal shower routine and whipped out the bottle to test it out.

What I really liked about the bottle – besides the pretty colors and exotic look – was that it is a pump. I just feel like having a pump makes things so much easier because you can control how much product you are using. I have a lot of hair so I use a lot of product but if I am using the product to mix with something else having a pump is usually easier to manage than regular bottles that you pour out.

Since I have a lot of hair I ended up using about 4 pumps to get enough product to saturate my roots. I usually wash my roots and as I am rinsing I stop and let the suds slide down the rest of my hair and wash the ends. Your roots are usually what needs the most cleansing because of built up oils and any other particles.
Mystic Divine Nourishing Shampoo
didn’t suds up like some shampoo’s do, but I actually prefer that. It created a little bit of suds and it didn’t feel like it was drying out my hair at all. Also, the scent was lovely – sweet but not overpowering. It has that exotic nut oil scent to it.

As I rinsed the product out my hair was feeling smooth and soft – something I look for when I do use a shampoo. Some people like that “squeaky clean” feeling – I don’t – when it feels like that I feel like my hair lost all of its natural oils and moisture. It instantly feels dry to me. I liked that my hair felt clean but still soft and healthy.

Throughout the day I kept sniffing my hair. The scent was really nice and soft, not overpowering at all. I also kept touching my hair because as it dried it remained soft, manageable and smooth to the touch. I have heard that some products that contain oils leave a residue. With this product my hair wasn’t dry or brittle and it also did not have any oily residue.

Overall I really liked this shampoo and would definitely recommend it to others. As far as it strengthening my hair, my hair does not feel weak or brittle after using it several times. I would definitely say that it at does help to keep my hair safe from breakage. In the meantime, I still have about half a bottle left and will be using all of it up. I have added this to my favorite shampoo list and will purchase it for myself in the future.

P.S. I also received one other product from this line but I have not used it yet. Once I do I will let y’all what my experience with it is.

What products do you use with Argan Oil in them?
Have you tried this brand before?
What is your favorite shampoo?

Spring Wish List 2015

spring wish listI love going shopping online because I can discover things I may not normally see in stores. Usually I just create wishlists and they sit there until the holidays or my birthday comes around. Then I share them with friends and family that ask what I want. I usually can’t think of anything off the top of my head so wishlists come in handy. Here are the items that I recently added to my wish list.
