NuElle contains top 20+ well known botanical cellulite fighting ingredients. It does have diuretic efect so it shouldn't be used while pregnant. The idea is that NuElle will improve circulation, reduce water retention, and reduce the appearance of cellulite overtime,

The cream has a light texture. It is easy to apply, feels nice going on, and absorbs quickly. The scent is strong at first, but fades quickly. It says it creates a sauna effect, meaning you may produce more sweat in the area it's applied to, I did not experience this personally.

I'm not in love. I want to be...because check out this ingredient list..

...but I'm not. My skin is softer after use, but it's not visibly tight and smooth. Which is what I was hoping for. It seems that some people have fantastic results, though, so maybe it has more to do with me than the product? Who knows.

Paradise Coconut Oil #Review

<div>

Product: Paradise Organic Coconut Oil

Company/Creator: Thera Vita


Where to Buy: Amazon


Recommend?: Yes!











I intended to do so many things with this. Hair conditioner, body butter, cooking, diaper cream, soap....  Because coconut oil is amazing and can do all those things and more. What it really came down to though...I used the majority of this to cook eggs and chicken. and they were delicious every time. A bit of it did make it to a couple of the other ventures. Alas, it is now gone. So sad.

I hate coconut. I really, thoroughly do. So believe when I say cooking with coconut oil will not leave your food tasting of coconut. It's fantastically neutral in flavor and very versatile. Use it in place of butter or oil in virtually anything. Don't get me wrong I love butter and it has its own benefits for sure! However, having a little that's sensitive to dairy, I have to really watch how much we use.

Paradise coconut oil is GMO free, which is a big deal in my household, chemical free, and certified organic, They offer a 100% money back guarantee if you don't love your results.

IndicationsFor those looking to eat healthier, burn fat naturally, maximize immune and digestive system, improve blood pressure and healthy cholesterol levels, manage weight, increase energy, reverse damaged hair, moisturize skin, and more WITHOUT the expensive procedures or use of dangerous artificial supplements...Our Coconut Oil is made for you.

Apothecary Extracts Australian Tea Tree Oil #Review

Recommend?: Yes




I first heard about tea tree oil in some post-apocalypse book. I can't recall what it was exactly...but it wasn't a zombie one. Anyway, back to the point. Ever since, I've wondered about this miracle oil. The scent of the product reminded me of a product I used in the past, and per another reviewer I figured out what that scent was-- a Burt's Bees acne solution!

Apothecary Extracts was founded in 2013 because, as consumers, we were tired of not knowing what was in our essential oils. There are so many vendors that dilute their essential oils, or use unsafe extraction processes which contaminate the final product. The only way to be sure what is in your essential oils is to test them. But the tests are expensive so most brands don’t want to pay for this. Or they don’t want you to know the results!We will only carry essential oils that we are 100% confident represent the best quality and potency available. And we’ll show you the test results to back it up. 

Many essential oils are diluted to cut costs. Apothecary Extracts has test to prove their products purity and potency.

Apothecary Extracts sends a free 100 page guide to the email address associated with your order. This little ebook is full of great ideas, such as acne treatments, hair conditioning, ointment, toothpaste, air freshener, dryer sheets, and so much more. One of the most versatile essential oils. Naturally fight Acne, Toenail Fungus, Lice, Yeast Infections, Skin Tags, Cold Sores, Dandruff, Ringworm, Fleas, Warts, Psoriasis, and More.



I am using it with honey and a carrier oil (coconut here) for my face and I plan on making a shampoo and deodorant from the recipe guide soon as well.
I love that I can use it to make my home smell great (in air fresheners and cleaning supplies) without harsh chemicals! I'm slowly but surely moving towards using (mostly) natural products.

Beauty By Shea Raw Shae Butter #Review & #Giveaway

Product: Raw Shea Butter

Recommend?: Yes (unless you have nut allergies)








Beauty By Shea 100% Ivory Organic Raw, Unrefined Shea Butter is imported directly from Ghana, and is 100% pure and natural, nothing else added!
Naturally rich in essential vitamins for beautiful skin, Beauty By Shea Organic Shea Butter will nourish your skin with Vitamins A, E, F & K. Use this Beauty By Shea Organic Raw Shea Butter daily and often for beautiful, moisturized, luminous skin.
Raw Organic Unrefined Shea Butter is perfect for topical use on skin and hair, and the perfect essential ingredient for homemade lotions, soaps, conditioners and more!

Beauty By Shea Organic Shea Butter is double filtered, first in Ghana, and then at our US Lab where it is manufactured into our 1lb bricks, packaged into our heat sealed bags, and sent straight to Amazon thereby preserving the natural richness, and purity of the shea butter for our customers.

I was so thrilled to receive this Shea Butter. It came in a cute lined paper bag with a ziploc bag inside holding the brick of Shea. I've been looking to make my own hair and skin care products and this was perfect. With a whole pound, I should be able to make it last a while because it doesn't take a lot. It feels very soft, easy to pull off a small amount and warm it in your hand to apply to your skin. I love the scent of Shea butter and it makes skin so smooth. I have had very dry, cracked feet for ages and I'm positive that will soon be a thing of the past.

I know a lot of products in stores declare they have Shea in them and are therefor fantastic, right? Well, I've read that raw is the only way to go with Shea because the processing kills all of the benefits listed above. It's unlikely to be the case with mass merchandiser products.

Barefaced Dead Sea Mud Mask #Review

Product: Dead Sea Mud Mask

Company/Creator: Bearfaced Skincare

Where to Buy: Amazon

Connect: Website, Facebook

Recommend?: Yes (unless you have sensitive skin or do not like earthy scents)

Bearfaced Skincare wants you to be able to show of your natural beauty and banish bad skin days. They believe in Mother Nature's remedies and using natural products to reach this goal. Their ingredients are all natural and organic and it's gluten free!

Dead Sea mud is full of natural minerals, salts and nutrients, proven to have repairing and healing properties for our skin. Filtered down from the surrounding mountains, layer upon layer of fine salt, sand and clay deposits have developed over centuries to form the black mud of the Dead Sea. Our Barefaced mud has been harvested straight from its bed.

It's a good thing I like earthy scents because this mask certainly has one. And it lingers....and lingers.... It had a different feel than the mud mask I tried previously, little jelly-like and not freezing cold (probably due to less aloe on both accounts). It sets a bit tighter as well. None of those things were a down side for me. I loved how my skin felt afterward.

Directions
Always handle with clean, dry hands. Apply the mask to a cleansed face and massage gently, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on for 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry. For best results use no more than twice a week.

Ingredients
Dead Sea Mud, Organic Lavender Essential Oil, Organic Eucalyptus Essential Oil, Hickory Bark Extract, Non GMO Xanthan Gum, Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Water, Kaolin Clay, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Calendula Oil

One of my favorite aspects of Bearfaced Mud mask is that it contains no parabens, alcohols, lanolin or artificial fragrance or color. It doesn't take much to cover your face, a 6oz jar should last 30-40 applications, at once a week that's a fair amount of time. They recommend using it within 6 months of opening and within a year of purchase.

REVIEW: Adovia Dead Sea Salt Soap

Adovia is a unique skin care line, combining natural ingredients with modern science to formulate an effective blend of minerals and the finest herbal ingredients nature has to offer. The vital nutrients, anti-oxidants and minerals present in Adovia products are responsibly gathered at the place closest to the soul of Mother Earth - The Dead Sea.

This Dead Sea Salt Soap is my third Adovia product. I really do enjoy them and this soap has a better ingredient list than the shampoo and conditioner. There are no parabens or harsh chemicals. The scent is made up of "natural extracts", which I would prefer to be more specific.

 Item description:

- Infused with 100% Pure Dead Sea Salts from the Dead Sea
- Dead Sea Salt Contains over 21 Minerals Key to Skin Health and Beauty
- Deeply Moisturizing and Hydrating Soap great for Dry and Normal to Dry Skin
- Dead Sea Minerals Essential to Skin Function Contained in the Soap Include Magnesium, Potassium, Sodium, Zinc and More.
- Great Value and Benefits for A Daily Moisturizing Facial Cleanser

The soap smells like you would expect a soap to smell and isn't overly strong. It's not my favorite scent, but it's not unpleasant. Because of the lack of chemicals, there's not a lot of lather. If you use more natural soaps that's something you'd be used to. It leaves skin feeling smooth and clean. No grittiness from the salt, though it seems to do its job. Great exfoliation for dry skin.


It's a little bit pricey for a bar of soap, running at $18 on Amazon for 4.4oz, but if you have eczema or dry skin and haven't been able to find something to work for you, it may be a good option.
It is also available at Adovia's website for $11.

REVIEW: pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge w Bamboo Charcoal

Konjac is a plant native to Asia.  In Japan, Konjac has been used as a food source for hundreds of years as well as to wash newborn babies. Konjac is a moisture rich plant fibre which is by nature alkaline, and thus balances the acidity of the skin's impurities and oils. The unique net like structure of the sponge gently massages the skin, breaks down dirt, stimulates blood flow and new growth of skin cells. Leaving the skin extremely clean and refreshed!

pureSOL Konjac Sponge is unbelievably soft and excellent for all skin types! It is made of 100% pure vegetable fiber and processed without any coloring or additives, great for hypersensitive skin!  pureSOL Konjac Sponge is completely natural, eco-friendly and free of parabens, sulphates & chemicals.

I have had blackheads on my nose for as long as I can remember. Bad. Recently, I have found the blackheads are all but gone. This in is large part thanks to the pureSOL Konjac Sponge. I have been using it in combination with my Bamboo Charcoal soap from Healing Tree, so it's like a double dose of Bamboo Charcoal! You can use this sponge with just water, if you want, as well. Along with the charcoal, it gently exfoliates and stimulates the skin, drawing out toxins and impurities without irritation.

The sponge should be replaced every 2-3 months and is completely natural, so it can be composted (or thrown into your flower bed) when you're finished with it! The packaging is also 90% compostable -- I love that not only is the product eco friendly, the packing is as well.

It comes with a suction hook so that you can keep it well ventilated. I personally hang it on the mirror rather than the shower so it doesn't spend as much time in the water. If you live in a hot & humid climate, they recommend keeping it in refrigerator. The sponge can also be sterilized every couple of weeks by boiling it in water or popping it in the microwave for a couple minutes!

You can purchase the tiny, but powerful pureSOL Konjac Sponge on Amazon currently for $10.99 !

REVIEW: Pure & Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask

Pure & Essential Minerals believe that the most powerful and effective ingredients for the care of your skin come directly from nature. They only use the purest ingredients. I was so pleased with what is in this product.
Ingredients include: Pure Dead Sea Mud, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Organic Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Jojoba Oil, Hickory Bark Extract, Organic Calendula Oil, Eucalyptus Oil, Filtered Water, Xanthan Gum

Deep cleansing Dead Sea mud draws out impurities, toxins and excess oils leaving your skin fresh and clean.
Fine grains act as an exfoliate, removing dead skin cells for a rejuvenating glow.
Tightens the pores for an anti-aging effect.
Moisturizes and hydrates your skin, helping to reduce wrinkles.
Improves blood circulation and initiates natural skin regeneration, adding an all-day radiance to your skin.
Effective relief for skin disorders, including acne, eczema and psoriasis.

What you won't find:

Our Skin care range is free from the myriad harsh chemicals used in many products
on the market today: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES),
synthetic fragrances, animal derivatives, harsh detergents, propylene glycol,
artificial colours, triethanolamine, mineral oils, EDTA, or parabens.
Our products are vegan and cruelty-free - never tested on Animals.

I did this mask when taking a shower because, well, it is mud, which can be messy. When first applying the mask, I found the eucalyptus scent is very strong, but not unpleasant, although it does sting the eyes if you get it too close.  The next thing I noticed was how cold it was, and then it started to make my skin tingle. Again, it wasn't unpleasant, more like it gave me the sense it was actually doing something.
I don't think it helped to clear up acne, but it definitely otherwise cleanses the skin and would help prevent future breakouts.
You don't need to use very much of the mud, and since it's a 6oz tub (much easier to get the right amount than a tube), it should last a while at once per week. It lasts for approximately 30 uses.
You can purchase it yourself on Amazon for $29.44!
