Skin Hydration from Within

May 31, 2016 by Emilee Evans

I have had the opportunity to review NeoCell Beauty Supplements in the past, and I really love the concept of “beauty from within.” In fact, I still use Beauty Bursts regularly! I think it’s very important to recognize how effective it is to support collagen health on a systemic level.
NeoCell
Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my NeoCell Matrix review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
When I learned about NeoCell’s new PlatinumMatrix Collection, I was definitely excited to check it out! The PlatinumMatrix Collection is a premium line of nutraceuticals scientifically crafted to support collagen health on a systematic level, targeting specific wellness concerns for total body vitality.
For my review I received the Derma Matrix and Glow Matrix as well as a great cup.
NeoCell Matrix Review

NeoCell Matrix Review – Derma Matrix

The Derma Matrix is a fine powder that can be easily mixed into water or juice. I, though, often make a shake for breakfast or brunch, so it’s simple to just add it to my shake as well. I mostly use it solely in water, and it does mix up fairly well and barely has any flavor at all. I found it dissolves/mixes best if you actually add it to the water rather than starting with the powder on the bottom of the cup and adding water. It does make the water look cloudy, but there are no clumps.
I really love the convenience of the Derma Matrix. Because I am already in the routine of having both a drink of water as well as a shake each day, it fit seamlessly into my day. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach if possible, which is why I try to take it with my first glass of water, but if I do forget I just add it to my shake!
Learn more about Derma Matrix and how it works:

I am not only impressed by the quality, but I always love that NeoCell always offers so many nutrients and benefits, and the Derma Matrix is no exception. Not only does it offer their unique Collagen Type 1&3, but it also has Hyaluronic Acid and even 100% Daily Value of Vitamin C in addition to amino acids.

NeoCell Matrix Review – Glow Matrix

The Glow Matrix Advanced Skin Hydrator are average size capsules. The suggested use is to take three capsules daily, and I take them all at the same time – usually along with the Derma Matrix. They are easy to swallow vegetable capsules, so I can take all three together. This is actually significant because I have challenges taking pills and capsules.
The Glow Matrix provides quality ingredients designed to hydrate the skin. Plus, like the other NeoCell products, it is standardized to be both bioavailable and bioactive for maximum absorption and efficacy.
Learn more about Glow Matrix and how it works:

Once again, I am very impressed by the ingredients. It has a powerhouse of key ingredients, but again, it doesn’t stop there! It offers a wide variety of necessary vitamins and minerals like Vitamins A, C, D3, E, K2, B2 and B6. I don’t know about you, but when it comes to supplements, I don’t like to have to take so many at once, so when a supplement adds additional things I need, it definitely makes me happy!

NeoCell Matrix Review

Overall, I am once again pleased with the NeoCell products. I love that they commit to quality and don’t use any artificial flavors. Plus, the Derma Matrix is also Gluten Free and Non-GMO! They’re easy to add to my daily routine, though, unfortunately, my daily routine has been a little uprooted lately.
As someone who constantly has dry skin, though, I can already see improvement. My skin is starting to feel smoother, and I cannot wait to see how it continues to progress!

Beautiful Skin with ERASA XEP-30 {Holiday Gift Guide 2015}

December 14, 2015 by Emilee Evans

Skin care is something I have started to embrace more as I get older. Of course, it’s important to start caring for your skin properly before you start seeing signs of aging, but it’s never too late to start either! Choosing a high quality skin care is important! Plus, it makes a great gift!
ERASA XEP-30
Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to facilitate my ERASA review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
ERASA XEP-30 is a new, luxury skin care product that introduces the power of the patented neuropeptide XEP-30 for the very first time to the cosmetics market. XEP-30 is a biomimetic, synthetic neuropeptide that helps relax the surface of the skin to help erase the appearance of wrinkles. This also includes deep frown and expression lines.
ERASA not only offers the XEP-30 but also combines it with two other strong neuropeptides, creating the ultimate tri-peptide complex. It also includes anti-inflammatories and collagen boosters. ERASA will help to correct and repair loss of elasticity and dullness. ERASA can help improve skin tone and texture for beautiful skin.
For my review I received a bottle of ERASA XEP-30.
ERASA Review XEP 30
I have been using ERASA twice a day as recommended. It has a slightly thicker consistency and doesn’t leave a greasy feeling on my face after use. Plus I can still use my regular moisturizer after use. It recommends 2-3 pumps but I found because of the thicker consistency I needed a little more. I, personally, use 4 pumps. Despite the consistency, though, it does spread easily on the skin and takes little time to absorb.
Although I haven’t yet shown signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines, I have noticed improved texture on my face as well as the dark circles under my eyes. It feels soft and looks brighter. It has a nice pleasant scent, and I’ve enjoyed adding it to my skin care regiment. I’m hoping with regular use, it means I can avoid showing those fine lines and wrinkles! I highly believe in taking care of your skin now.
ERASA Review Texture
It has this pretty cream and pink almost shimmery look, which is beautiful but had me concerned. As an eco-friendly consumer, I do have some concerns about some of the ingredients, though I was glad to see it didn’t contain any of my “banned ingredients.”
Overall, I’ve been enjoying the results with ERASA XEP-30. My skin looks nicer and it’s easy to incorporate into my daily skin care routine!

NAAT Garlic Magic Review

August 27, 2015 by Emilee Evans

nuNAAT
I have the kind of hair most people don’t want to have. I have thick, wavy hair that damages so easily. So, when I first reviewed nuNAAT’s NAAT Silicone Healthy Restoration I was so impressed with the results. I was excited to hear they released new products and the opportunity to review one of the newer sets.
NAAT Garlic Magic
Disclosure: I received a variety of products to facilitate my review. Regardless, all opinions are my own.
NuNAAT offers a variety of great hair care products. For my review I received the NAAT Garlic Magic Line including:

  • NAAT Garlic Magic Shampoo
  • NAAT Garlic Magic Hair Mask
  • NAAT Garlic Magic Conditioner
  • NAAT Garlic Magic Leave-in

The NAAT Garlic Magic line is noted to offer a variety of benefits including:

  • Restoring hair to a strong, healthy and natural state
  • Formulated with garlic extract
  • Fresh, clean scent. No garlic smell!
  • Fights dandruff, excessive oiliness and hair loss
  • Suitable for all hair types.
  • Ideal for slow-to-grow and fragile hair

Although you don’t need to use it every day, it is safe for every day use and won’t damage the hair.
One of the benefits that appealed to me most is that it fights dandruff, excessive oiliness and hair loss – which are all a problem for me. I have never understood how my scalp can be so dry and flaky but my hair is oily! So to find a product that notes all three of those benefits was definitely appealing!
NAAT Garlic Magic does, indeed, have a nice scent. Unfortunately, though, it is a very strong fragrance. I always worry about and caution others about artificial fragrance just because it’s not heavily regulated and can contain just about anything! I was definitely concerned about the heavy fragrance and found I couldn’t even use the products regularly because it was too strong and hurt my eyes even while it was just on my hair away from my eyes. So I quickly discovered this particular product isn’t a good fit for me.
I think for those without fragrance sensitivities that may also not be as cautious as I am when it comes to ingredients would likely really enjoy the scent and hopefully experience the numerous benefits. I, unfortunately, can’t attest to the benefits as I couldn’t use the product regularly, and I really feel that with a hair care system you have to use it regularly for a period of time to determine if it’s the right system for you.
It’s important to keep in mind nuNAAT products are meant to be used as a system, and they have different products for different hair types, so it is best to research which product would be best for you! You may find one isn’t but another one is perfect for you. I feel like the Silicone line is definitely the best line for me but think many people could benefit from the Garlic Magic line as well!
If you would like to purchase nuNAAT products you can find your local retailers by visiting the nuNAAT Website and entering your zip code in the store locator. nuNAAT products can also be purchased online. When you are on the website you can also select your hair type to find out what product line is recommended for you!

Beautiful Skin Care Review

December 10, 2013 by Emilee Evans

Disclosure: I received the products mentioned to facilitate my review. Regardless, I only recommend products I feel would be good for my readers. All opinions are my own.
Beautiful Review
Chemical free skin care can definitely be tricky to find. Even those that are “better” than most may still have a couple of ingredients that I still am slightly cautious about, and then there is always the ever so tricky “fragrance,” which can mean a whole load of chemicals all in that little word, or it could actually be completely innocent like an essential oil! Do you dare take chances or just avoid it altogether? I’d like to choose the latter when the option presents itself! In this case, it definitely has!
Beautiful is a new skin care supplement made from live fruit, nut and plant extracts. It is made with 100% pure and natural botanical oils. It has NO parabens, preservatives, GMOs, synthetic chemicals or any kind of additives! See how simple the ingredients are:
A. M. Ingredients: 100% Pure Botanical oils of almond, orange, lemon, avocado and olive.
P. M. Ingredients: 100% Pure Botanical oils of almond, orange, lemon, evening primrose and apricot.
There is nothing hiding here! Just simple, pure ingredients! Awesome, right! Now I know you might be thinking – an oil on your face? Really?
Yes, really!
At first, it did seems a little strange putting Beautiful on my face because I definitely haven’t used an oil on my face before. After reading more about how Beautiful works and how it contains ingredients our skin not only needs but actually the nutrients it craves, it definitely made sense to me, though! When your skin does need something like that, it will take it in. Your skin actually recognizes it as food. You simply place 2 to 3 drops on each cheek 1-2 times per day and gently spread it over your entire face using a circular motion. You are not to rub it in, though. If there is excess after 3 minutes, you can blot it with a tissue or damp cloth. I have been using Beautiful now for about 6 weeks, and I have never had any excess, though. My skin really does take it all in.
For my review I received both the A.M. Moisturizer and the P.M. Revitalizer. I used the A.M. Moisturizer shortly after waking up, and the P.M. Revitalizer shortly before going to bed. I also made a couple of other changes in my skin care routine per their suggestions. I no longer use any type of cleanser or soap on my face. I wasn’t sure how I felt about this at first, but it is a change I am really glad I have made!
Again, what I have learned really makes sense to me! Our face produces oils to naturally cleanse itself, but we have most likely been shocking our skin for so long with chemically laden products as we are told to use this type of wash, this type of moisturizer, this type of makeup remover, and so-on. I used to have a ridiculously full drawer of products, and those products were ridiculously full of nasty ingredients! Now I can minimize even more, which is always a benefit!
If you have been using products with chemicals in the past or even have any sort of toxin build up in your skin, Beautiful will start to remove those toxins when you begin to use it, which may cause a temporary breakout. We had just moved from a house with really bad water. You could smell the water. It was bad, and my skin was really suffering because of it. Now that we are in a new house and have different water, it was the perfect time to start a routine to detox my skin as well! “Breaking out” at first is actually a good sign that your body is ridding the toxins! I got email reminders to not get discouraged during this period of time. Luckily, I was actually excited to know it was detoxifying my skin!
So what if you could make your skin care routine easier? Beautiful is a 100% Pure “All-in-One” Skincare: replace your moisturizer, cleanser, toner, firming gel, protectant, repair cream, blemish controller, and age-defying serum. I put some of this to the test when I started using it as my makeup remover. It worked better than any of the chemical make-up removers I had used in the past! Plus, I didn’t have to sit over the sink washing my face before going to bed that night. I simply add 2-3 drops to a tissue, and it takes all my makeup off!
Beautiful skin care
Beautiful has a wonderful citrus scent, and although the A.M. and P.M. have slightly different ingredients and slightly different scents, they both have a hint of citrus that is really enjoyable for me. I love that the bottles are so small and take up very little space. Having my name on them is a really neat touch! I love that it is so easy to apply.
My skin has been softer, my pores look smaller, and I don’t know how to describe it, but my face does have just an overall healthier look to it. It is recommended to continue to use Beautiful every day consistently for a few months to see the full benefits. I did have a blemish problem prior to starting Beautiful that had started improving, and it did have the detoxification break out initially. As I mentioned, I knew this was a good thing, but even my “usual” blemishes have started to improve even more. I am glad I was introduced to such a pure, versatile skin care product!
