Tried & Tested: AveSeena Skincare Line

AveSeena Skincare Line 

"Dr. Ebru Karpuzoglu, MSc, Ph.D., and for over 20 years I’ve researched the effects of estrogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals* on the immune system. These beautifully packaged creams, lotions and serums almost all contain synthetic chemicals and preservatives like parabens with estrogenic properties — which, to make a story short, can make you not a happy camper. AveSeena brings together 100% naturally-derived ingredients with something most natural products leave out: Science. I’ve researched key ingredients such as botanical extracts, advanced cell communicating actives, and powerful antioxidants, greatly recognized for their powerful ability to reverse the aging free radical damage. AveSeena firmly believes in ingredient transparency. We are proud to list every ingredient used in our products on your product box and AveSeena.com. On AveSeena.com you will also find detailed information about key ingredients and their main features. AveSeena is certified as 100% Cruelty-free and our products are animal-friendly. "

Lately, I've been trying to switch to nontoxic products that are cruelty-free, and ingredients that are pure and clean. So when AveSeena reached out to me, I was more than happy to try out the line. Today I will be reviewing the following:

The texture of this mask is incredibly thick the rich texture absorbs all impurities, while honey and rest of the botanicals provide healing energies. The texture of this mask makes the application a bit difficult, but Dr. Ebru has instructed to take a dollop of this mask and warm it between the fingers. As it warms it gets softer and I followed her instruction, and it made it the application a little easier than before. There are no artificial dyes in this mask and it smells delicious to the point where I'm tempted to taste it haha!

Givenchy Point D'Encrage & Gypsophila Les Saisons Spring & Summer 2017 Collection

Givenchy Point D'Encrage & Gypsophila Les Saisons Spring & Summer 2017 Collection

Givenchy recently launched their Point d'Encrage spring & Gypsophila Les Saisons summer beauty collections. I received a few products from their Spring & Summer 2017 makeup collection keep scrolling to read the review and view the swatches of the stunning Givenchy beauty 2017 collections. First up is the Point d'Encrage Spring Collection:

Givenchy Point d'Encrage Spring Makeup Collection

"Inspired by the pigmentation, intensity, and versatility of ink, the GIVENCHY Point d’Encrage spring makeup collection for 2017 is an ode to the beauty of artistry.

From extreme depths to a light transparency, ink has the ability to reinvent colours. Point d’Encrage explores a spectrum of hues from the sheerest pinks to the deepest blue-blacks, playing with texture along the way to create a showstopping effect on the skin.

This spring, explore your artistic side with the GIVENCHY Spring look, and embellish your features with dazzling radiance and tempting colour."

• Memoire de Forme Highlighter 01 Pink Ink
• Prisme Libre Travel 01 Mousseline Pastel 

Givenchy Memoire de Forme Highlighter 

Givenchy Mémoire de Forme Highlighter 01 Pink Ink ($45.00 for 1.05 oz) Is housed in a sturdy, beautiful, sleek plastic jar with a twist top. This soft and airy highlighter has a hint of floral scent that's not too overpowering. A face & body gel highlighter with a fresh and bouncy texture for a radiant, healthy glow. With its unique feel, the gel consistency of Mémoire de Forme Highlighter contains 72% water. Since it's 72% water its very light weight and sheer in pigmentation. It's highlighting pink shade almost runs pastel lilac on me, and the gel blends in quickly leaving behind a wash of shimmer. Nicolas Degennes, Givenchy's makeup artist director, recommends applying this to the bridge of the nose, the apple of your cheeks, and the outer corners of the eyelids to illuminate the complexion. I personally like to apply to this on the apple of my cheeks and finish it with a powder highlighter since that's where the natural light catches. You can also use this on your collarbone, shoulders and your legs for a dewy, glowy look. I won't suggest mixing this highlighter with your foundation due to the micro shimmers cause the shimmers aren't subtle so it will leave you with noticeable glitters and shimmers. I think this highlighter will flatter on those with light to medium skin tones. This seems to be the most popular item from the entire collection, and it's now available at Neiman Marcus.

Aqua(Water), Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Butylene Glycol, Nylon-6/12, Pentylene Glycol, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Caprylic/Capric Tri-Glyceride, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Lecithin, PEG-240/HDI Copolymer BIS-Decyltetradeceth-20 Ether, Sodium Acrylates Copolymer, Caprylyl Glycol, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Phospholipids, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, Xanthan Gum, Parfum(Fragrance), BHT, Geraniol, Tin Oxide, Tocopheryl Acetate, Potassium Laurate, Tocopherol, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 75470 (Carmine), CI 15850 (Red 7 Lake).

Givenchy Prisme Libre Mousseline Pastel 

Givenchy Prisme Libre Mousseline Pastel Travel Size ($40.00 for .3oz) Givenchy's iconic and best selling loose powder comes in a sturdy little jar with a twist cap and a powder puff it's perfect for on-the-go touchups. The iconic loose powder Prisme Libre in a travel size combines the 4 shades of our most popular colour correcting shade Mousseline Pastel. A universal finishing powder for a perfectly matte yet radiant and translucent complexion. This finely milled lilac-hued brightening powder has a matte finish, and it will be ideal for yellow and sallow complexions. I have yellow undertone, and I like to lightly dust it all over my face to set my foundation it doesn't leave a white cast it gives a flawlessly smooth finish. This powder is long lasting I have very oily t-zone, and it helped keep the oil at bay. I did have to blot midday cause I have yet to find a powder that can maintain the greasiness away for the whole day. I've always wanted to try Givenchy's infamous loose pastel powders, and I must admit I'm quite impressed by it a total winner in my book. I wanted to point out the difference between the travel size, and the full size of this powder which contains .42 oz products priced at $55.00 is not much so If I were to replenish I would most likely go for the full size.

Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons Summer 2017 Collection

Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons 

"A tribute to the strength and serenity of gypsophila blossoms, the Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons Makeup Look is a crisp and beautiful collection for the face, eyes and lips that take its cues from Givenchy fashion.

The Gypsophila Les Saisons is an ideal companion for the summer, transforming the complexion with a sun-kissed glow, while lighting up the eyes in shades of blue and the lips with juicy pinks.

A striking meeting of Givenchy fashion and beauty, the look showcases a wealth of limited edition collector’s pieces for one season only."

I love the Givenchy Bronzers last year I purchased and reviewed the Les Saisons Healthy Glow Bronzer which I loved, and I even featured on my Best of Beauty 2016 post. What I love about Givenchy bronzers is the shade it has the most luminous finish ever, and it provides a natural, healthy sunkissed glow.  And the texture is just as good as the shades which is why I can't wait to get my hands on the Healthy Glow & Body Bronzing Powder ($65.00 for 0.56 oz). This collection was inspired by the Gypsophila flower, and if you have noticed from my photos, I love Gypsophila flowers I always have a fresh bunch in my house. 

Today I will be reviewing two products from the latest Givenchy summer collection:

• Les Saisons Le Rouge Coral Gypsophila
• Les Saisons Le Rouge-A-Porter- Red Gypsophila

Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons Le Rouge Lipsticks

Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons Le Rouge lipsticks are packaged in luxurious minty green leather case. The unique minty blue leather packaging alone will catch anyone's eyes, and I'm sure these will sell out in no time. 

Givenchy Le Rouge Coral Gypsophila  

Givenchy Le Rouge Coral Gypsophila ($37.00 for 0.12 oz) is a limited edition lipstick that has the most beautiful packaging ever! The texture of this lipstick is light weight, smooth and non-sticky it just glides on your lips like butter. I love the bright coral shade it screams summer, and this shade goes perfectly with my complexion. The lipstick bullet is crisp enough for a precise application, but I like to pair it with a lipliner to avoid any bleeding. It's very comfortable on the lips, and it lasted for 3-4 hours before it started to fade.

Ingredients:

Polyglyceryl-2 Thriisostearate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Synthetic Wax, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Ozokerite, Cera Alba (Beeswax), C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Silica, Parfum(Fragrance), Trihydroxystearin, BHT, Butylene Glycol, Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Propyl Gallate, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Benzyl Benzoate, Hexylene Glycol, Hydroxycitronellal, Tocopherol, CI77891(Titanium Dioxide), CI 15850(Red 6), CI 15985(Yellow 6 Lake), CI 45410 (Red 28 Lake), CI 42090 (Blue 1 Lake).

Givenchy Le Rouge-A-Porter Red Gypsophila

Givenchy Le Rouge -A-Porte- Red Gypsophila ($37.00 for .07 oz) A sheer finish lipstick in a limited-edition red shade with a summery, aquatic blue genuine leather-clad case. Although it's a sheer lipstick, it does not lack in pigmentation. This creamy whipped lipstick is formulated with hyaluronic acid, its balmy, ultra-sensorial and hydrating texture protects your lips while imparting subtle color with a shiny finish. This glossy red shade will suit all skin even though I'm not a big fan of red lipsticks I can see myself reaching for this lipstick. This lasted 2-3 hours on me before it started to fade it's not very long lasting mostly cause it's more of a tinted lip balm. I love how cute and compact this lipstick is I can just throw it in my purse or makeup bag for a quick touch-up. 

Ingredients:

Polyglyceryl-2 Triisostearate, Diisostearyl Malate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Synthetic Wax, Cera Microcristallina (Microcrystalline Wax), Hydrogenated Polydecene, Cera Alba (Beeswax), C10-30 Cholesterol/Lanosterol Esters, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Trimethylolpropane Triisostearate, Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, Parfum(Fragrance), Trihydroxystearin, BHT, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Propyl Gallate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Benzyl Benzoate, Hexylene Glycol, Hydroxycitronellal, Tocopherol, CI 15850 (Red6- Red 7 Lake), CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 19140 (Yellow 5 Lake), CI 42090 (Blue 1 Lake).

Givenchy Gypsophila Les Saisons Le Rouge Lipsticks

Overall

I enjoyed trying out products from both collection my favourites and must haves are the lipsticks and the pastel powder. From the luxurious feminine packaging to the quality of the products I'm really impressed, and I can't wait to try more from Givenchy beauty.

I recently had the pleasure of testing out This Works Stress Check range which contains a Face Oil, Hair Elixir, Breath In and a Face Mask. These products are meant to de-stress our mental and physical stress in check. Stress can take a toll on our skin and hair lack of sleep, late night snacks which is usually junk food it's all bad for our overall health. When I'm stressing out my skin, produce more oil, and it looks very dull. I also noticed my hair sheds more than usual. I have, to be honest, my days are filled with many chores, emails, editing photos and so many other things that really puts the pressure on me on a daily basis. So these Stress Check products really peaked my interest, and I immediately put them to the test! 

This Works Stress Check Face Oil

This oil is housed in a thick white glass bottle with a dropper applicator. My skin can get irritated easily, and I find this oil very soothing, and it calms the redness on my cheeks. It's very lightweight and fast absorbing and not to mention how amazing it smells. This is meant to be used in the morning, but since I have combination oily skin, I use it during my night time routine. This oil didn't clog my pores or break me out which some oil tends to do, and I only use a drop of this cause a little goes a long way.

This Works Stress Check Hair Elixir

This Works Stress Check Hair Elixir is a super blend of encapsulated Neroli, Vetivert fragrance, Mongogo and Tamanu Oils to calm, condition, and protect hair throughout the day. I've never actually ventured into hair elixir before this so I didn't know if this would be a yay or nay for me. I immediately fell in love with this product it smells amazing, and every time I use it, I can't help but take a quick whiff of my hair throughout the day. Before applying this elixir be sure to shake the bottle. This elixir can be used on wet or dry hair no rinsing needed, and you can also reapply as required. It doesn't weigh my hair down since it's very lightweight and it does boost hair shine. I'm truly obsessed with this product it's definitely a must have for me.

This Works Stress Check Breathe In

This Works Stress Check Breathe In helps keep stress in check from dawn to dusk. 100% natural blend of pure essential oils to help relieve mental and physical tension and stress. I love anything that smells like lavender, and this has notes of Lavender, Coconut, Neroli, and Eucalyptus it's an instant mood changer. And even my husband loves how it smells. I apply this on my wrist I try not to over do it cause it can be a bit overpowering so one or two rolls would do it. Since it's small and compact, it's easy to carry in my purse. This is also one of their best selling product that is now in their new Stress Check range.

Ingredients:

Cocos nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Oil, Eucalyptus globule (Eucalyptus) Leaf Oil, Ravensara aromatica, (Ravensara) Oil, Boswellia carterii (Frankincense) Oil, Lavandula hybrida (Lavandin) Flower Oil, Melaleuca leucadendron (Cajuput) Oil, Melaleuca viridiflora (Niaouli) Leaf Oil, Geraniol*, Eugenol*, Limonene, Linalool.

This Works Stress Check Face Mask is instantly cooling and calming and it contains This Works signature Bio-Boost botanical oil blend as well as Peppermint Extract. Antioxidant-rich Turmeric Oil and extract of Giant Hyssop and Rose Root help to protect skin from internal and external stressors. I really love the packaging of this mask it comes in a sleek tube and an on and off twist top. This is a morning mask, but again due to my oily skin, I prefer using it during my night time routine. I apply this mask whenever my skin is irritated it really helps soothe the redness on my cheeks. You can use this mask and leave it on for 10 minutes or leave it on as an overnight treatment which is what I do. I feel my skin benefits from using it as an overnight treatment as opposed to leaving it on for only 10 min. It's easy to apply, this lightweight mask leaves skin revived, hydrated, smooth and radiant. Also, its unique aromatherapeutic blend of Neroli, Patchouli, Lavender, Vetivert, and Camomile, helps to relieve mental and physical tension and stress.

This Works Stress Check Face Mask

Overall

I really enjoyed the Stress Check range all the products are free of Phthalates, Sulphates, Synthetic Colors and Fragrance, Parabens, GMOS, Mineral Oils, Petrolatum, and Propylene Glycol. Stress can cause damage to our skin and health, so anything to help with de-stressing sounds riveting. By no means, these products will eliminate your stress completely however it can reduce it by providing a soothing and calming atmosphere. 

Whenever I'm stressed, I like to take a break and just read a book or clean up my vanity. Please leave a comment below and share how do you like to de-stress. I would love to hear all about it!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's Day is right around the corner, and as I'm getting ready to pick out gifts for my mom and mother in law, I thought I would share my picks, and I hope it will give you some ideas. My favorite part of mother's day is waking up to fresh flowers and breakfast in bed, but these are some great add-ons to the flower and delicious breakfast in bed. Which I'm sure our moms will enjoy! 

• Peter Thomas Roth Mask-A-Holic 6 Piece Kit $75- My mom and I love masking! This set comes with five amazing masks from PTR my favorite one is the 24K Gold Mask it's a firming mask and it will make your skin feel brand new!

However, I think these vials are a great way to introduce someone to the brand and their scents. The sizes (12ml each)  are big enough, and you can get a sufficient amount of uses out of each vial. 
• Laura Mercier Body Souffle Body Creme $60- This luxurious ultra whipped body creme will definitely put a smile on your mom's face. I received a set of Laura Mercier's Body Souffle last year, and I've been obsessed ever since. Each and every souffle's smells amazing, and it's very hydrating as well. 
• BP Scalloped Faux Leather Tote $49- Both my mom and mom in law loves tote bags, and this is a great affordable one. This tote bag comes in four colors, and since it's faux leather, it's not very high maintenance perfect for everyday use. Also, I love the scalloped topline it's such a cute trendy bag. 
• A few other options I wanted to include which I think will make a perfect gift for any moms Slip Silk Pillowcase $79,  Fresh In The Buff Bundle and Chloe Drew Square Zip-Around Wallet.  

These are my top picks for this year's Mother's Day Gift Guide hope you'll find this helpful. And I Hope you all have an amazing Mother's Day with your moms and your grandmothers.
