OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum for a Brighter, Glowing Skin

     I'm always stocking up on my vitamin C's... Either my tablets or serums. I personally believe in the power of vitamin C. My priority is my health as I am not getting any younger. I'm actually turning 33 this year (contrary to people's assumption that I am 18 or 20 years old). Anyway, one of the things that attracted me to purchasing OZ Naturals VC Serum is its packaging. Vitamin C can easily be degraded and thereby, lessening its powerful effect. The amber bottle packaging is very important in preventing or at least slows down the process of oxidation. Therefore, you can use it longer and still achieve the desired effect.



     OZ Naturals Vitamin C contains clinical strength 20% vitamin C. It also comes with a dropper to help you get the amount you need. I only need 5-6 drops for my whole face and neck area. Before application, make sure the face is clean and use a toner if necessary. Wait for the toner to dry then apply. I always test products on my hand first just in case any irritation will occur. After a few minutes, no irritation so it was safe for me to use it on my face and neck. I often apply a moisturizer afterwards.





     OZ Naturals VC Serum appears as light yellow, odorless liquid that is easy to apply. It should be applied daily to achieve a brighter, glowing skin. Product should not be used on the eye area. There are other products out there made specifically for the skin around the eyes (as others may cause eye irritation). As always, read the product packaging before using it.

     Other ingredients that help keep your skin wrinkle-free and youthful: 

  • astaxanthin
  • hyaluronic acid
  • vitamin E
  • rose hips
  • green tea
     

This is me touching my soft, beautiful brown skin after using OZ Naturals Vitamin C serum. Looking forward to a brighter, glowing skin. Will update this blog in a few weeks or so for optimum results. I just started using it in a few days but I'm already feeling the radiance!

     Please note that I received this product for free to test so I can give my honest review.

Grow Your Brows with Perfect Brows Balm

     When I was younger I had thick brows. I still remember the first time I had it tweezed... it was a day before Junior & Senior's Prom. My friend did her best to thin it. After that, I just had to follow the contours she made. That was 16 years ago... This day, I have retained the shape I wanted. And through the years, my brows got tired of growing. If only my armpit hairs would do the same. Anyway, they did stop growing and I would just take out one or two misplaced hair.

     So I'm really excited to get my hand on this brow growth balm. Perfect Brows Balm comes with a little brush for easy application. It can be used everyday with my usual make up. I'm not aiming to bring back the old days of unibrow-ish kinda thing but I'm hoping to grow my brows so I can try to shape them in another contour.




     It also ha s scent that I can't quite pinpoint... like it's medicated or something. Either way, I like it. It has a very elegant packaging and easy to carry around. Mine will have to stay at home since it is the first step to my make up procedure. 

     Some important reminders to optimize the benefits of this product:

  • Leave on for at least 10 minutes
  • Use everyday for best results
     
     Other information about the product:
  • 100% botanical
  • contains Vitamin A, E and B5

     Looking forward to a thicker brows... probably in a month or so. Will have to post an update to this blog about it.

     Please note that I received this product for free for my honest, unbiased review. All insights are mine.

     I always keep a cold bottle of water at work (as it involves a lot of talking)... I know the benefits of water for me so I have always been "hydrophylic" (water-loving), like, literally! Since last year I have been seeing posts on Facebook and Pinterest about fruit-infused water. I usually cut pieces of fruit, mostly oranges, and put them in a pitcher and let them stay there for a few hours or when the water gets cold and ready to drink. The "Sharpro Fruit Infuser Water Bottle" is a genius invention! Now I can take my fruit-infused water with me anywhere! It looks elegant and refreshing as I try to put different kinds of fruit in it. This product is to be hand washed only and my hand fits perfect in the opening so it's easy to clean. It has four pieces: the water bottle and its lid, the fruit infuser with a lid as well. One advise I can give to future buyers of this product is to not fill the bottle up to the rim. Just fill it up about 3/4 full because the infuser will displace the water so you have to give it some room. 
     Here is a photo of my fruit-infused drink. So far, I've used oranges and strawberries for these are a few of my favorite fruits! I also have stocked up on lime and I love it!


Before putting it into the fridge...

Right after I took it out of the fridge...

Lime love!

Ahhhh... Ready to drink!

Kleem Organics Vitamin C + Hyaluronic Acid Serum

     Goodbye summer. Hello fall! My skin can finally rest from too much sun exposure (or maybe not, I live in Southern California and it's almost always sunny) but then again, here we go - DRY skin. I have been looking for products with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which is a moisturizer. I also love products with vitamin C, an antioxidant. And what is better than an organic serum, right? So I went ahead and searched on Amazon and used the words: "organic" "vitamin C" 'hyaluronic acid" "serum" and viola! Lots of serum products to choose from. This certain silver-packaged product caught my eye... "Kleem Organics" Intensive Rejuvenating Vitamin C Serum. What I love most about this product is that it's natural and organic.

Its ingredients and benefits:



  • 20% Pure Vitamin C + Hyaluronic acid for face rejuvenation
  • for skin tightening, dark spot removal, anti-wrinkle, and anti-blemish
  • antioxidant, anti-aging (stimulates collagen for skin renewal)

     Knowing the correct way of application helps a lot in maximizing the effect of a product. Purchase of this product comes with an e-book. Take time to read and understand it and you'll love your skin more for sure! The owners and founders, Joseph and Matteo, sent me an email giving details on its application. This is my new, nightly beauty routine... (I'm lucky if I can do this in the morning as well).
  1. Prepare the skin by washing your face with warm water and your preferred facial cleanser.
  2. Apply a small amount of Kleem Organics serum and gently rub across your face using small circular motions.
  3. For best results use twice daily, in the morning and at night before going to bed.
  4. If you feel any dryness, use a moisturizer.





     The serum is easy to apply, non-greasy, and has a sweet, citrus-ish smell (which I just love). I use 3-4 pumps for my whole face and neck area. It comes in a 1-fluid ounce packaging so I'm assuming this will last me a month or so. Will have to post an update to this blog if I am wrong. And lastly, since this is a Vitamin C product, you might want to store it away from the sun to prevent oxidation of the product.
