I love the idea that these products are sold by women socially. It gives you a great opportunity to try products and learn from others as well as provides ladies with a way to make some extra money. The Mía Mariú products that I able to test out were the RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Refinisher Cream, RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Thermal Activator, Hydrating Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30+, Mineral Loose Powder Foundation (Marfil), and No.22 Brush.

I have to say, I thought the RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Refinisher Cream and RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Thermal Activator were really neat. The Refinisher Cream is off white in color and contains tiny granules and the Thermal Activator is clear. When you mix the two together they make a white foamy substance that create heats, which was really neat. The heat only lasts for a short while and as you rub the solution on your face it rubs in clear and looks a little greasy. Once it was scrubbed all over my face, I washed it off and my face was silky smooth. It had taken off all the dead skin and smoothed it out nicely.

I decided to rub on the Hydrating Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30+ after finishing with the ResturaCel-C Microdermabrasion. I have sensitive skin and a lot of lotions seem to burn when I apply them. The Hydrating Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30+ did burn a little but it wasn't intense and I imagine it had to do with the fact that I just scrubbed off the top layer of skin on my face. Either way, the slight burning only lasted a moment and then I was fine. The Hydrating Anti-Aging Moisturizer with SPF 30+ is white in color and thick, not watery at all. It did make my face look a little greasy after it was rubbed in, so I moved on to my next product to test out!

I used the No.22 Brush for the Mineral Loose Powder Foundation in Marfil, a foundation for really light colored skin. This color will probably work well for me in the winter months when I am not out in the sun, however, I could probably could probably use their Savanna color foundation year around. I am not a professional at using make up, but the foundation seemed to chump in the brush. I spread it on my face and tried to rub it in the best I could. It kind of caked then spread. I think I had more success spreading it with my hands than I did the brush. I also had to blot it with a barely moist towel to escape the caked look, which again may be user error. The foundation did help take away the redness in my face and from afar it made my complexion look smooth. Up close, however, I could see every pore on my face, its like it made them look even more obvious. So, needless to say I wasn't a huge fan of the No.22 Brush and Mineral Loose Powder Foundation but they did work just fine.

 In the photo above you can see how much redness the powder foundation covered. The left photo is natural skin, no make up. The right photo is after applying the Mineral Loose Powder Foundation.

Overall, I was thrilled with the RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Refinisher Cream and RestauraCel-C Microdermabrasion Thermal Activator, the rest of the products I tested were good, I just didn't find them any different that most beauty products out there.

Have a wonderful day dear followers!

I'm not sure how many of you have heard of Dermagist Skin Care Products (previously called Dermajuv), but I surely hadn't, until recently. I was introduced to this skin care line through their Hydrating Spa System. This System includes 3 of Dermagist most popular products, the Hydropeutic Body Lotion, Hydro-Renewal Hand Cream, and the Foot & Heel Revitalizing Cream. 

I have to admit at first I was a little skeptical because when I squirted out a little of each product on my hands they had a hint of a "chemical" smell to them, but after being rubbed in the "chemical" smell dissipated.

Here is a bit of information from the Dermagist website about each product as well as my complete review/reaction of each:


Dermagist Description: "Finally a deep-hydrating body lotion that relaxes the skin with soothing teas, moisturizes and targets wrinkles with wrinkle fighting ingredients, and smooths rough and dry skin with beneficial moisture adding ingredients."

My Review/Reaction: The Hydropeutic Body lotion is thin but does not have the consistency of water. It is light and has a clean fragrance . I have very sensitive skin and I was able to use this lotion right after I had gotten a burn on my back and arms. It didn't make the burn feel worse and it actually seemed to prevent the skin from peeling, which was awesome. I only peeled on my shoulder where I forgot to put the lotion. I also LOVED this product on my legs, I have very dry skin on my legs and it helped them soften and sooth out a lot much nicer that anything I've used in the past!


Dermagist Description: "An anti aging inspired cream for the hands that ALSO deeply nourishes dry, rough skin. Whether your hands have spots and wrinkles or dryness and cracks, this cream is ideal for you."

My Review/Reaction: The Hydro-Renewal Hand Cream has a very light citrus fragrance that isn't overwhelming. The consistency is heavier and a bit thicker than the Body Lotion but makes your hands feel silky smooth after being rubbed in. I am a stay at home mom and I work around our farm, and unfortunately I don't really take that good care of my hand. Well, this Hand Cream has done wonders for me. It helped my calluses and softened my hands.


Dermagist Description:  "A serious cream for dry, cracked heels that can also be enjoyed by those looking for a comforting, soothing foot cream. The best of both worlds combined in this 7-key-ingredient foot cream."

My Review/Reaction: The Foot & Heel Revitalizing Cream is by far my favorite of the three products! It has a nice Peppermint fragrance similar to Vicks Vapor Rub but much lighter and less intense. I found this product so refreshing on my feet. It gives a very light tingly sensation which is amazing, many times I actually found myself rubbing it  around my ankles and all the way up my shins, because I loved the light sensation on my tired legs after a long day. I also have VERY dry feet that crack, it helped with cracking and softened the calluses.

 Overall, I was VERY impressed with the Dermagist Hydrating Spa System. I would recommend these products to anyone, whether you have dry skin or not. Dermagist just makes great products to help keep your skin feeling and looking young.

Also, the GREAT thing about Dermagist is that they have a 30 Day Guarantee:

Disclaimer: I was given a Hydrating Spa System from Dermagist at no cost in order to formulate my review. I was not compensated in any way monetarily for my review. All opinions are 100% mine and are based on my personal experience with the product. I make no guarantees about this product.

I'm not sure why, but after having my girls I've been increasingly aware of my age and appearance. I never really took good care of my skin and I'm starting to realize now that that was probably not the best idea ever. I had many reasons for not taking care of myself, the big one being that my skin, especially on my face is SUPER sensitive. If I get a sunburn, I can't even use the aloe gels because they burn. I've tried Vitamin E gel capsules, sometimes they work and sometimes not. I have DRY skin but if I use lotions I am all oily and gross, which leads to pimples.

All of the products I had tried in the past had one thing in common, they were main stream "popular" products that usually contained at least one ingredient that I couldn't pronounce. It was time I tried something new. I was searching online when I came across The Holistic Mama's Anti-Aging Facial Serum by Roxanne on Etsy. I decided I would give it a try and see how my skin reacted to this natural, chemical free product.

Here is a the product information as stated on The Holistic Mama's store on Etsy:

My challenge was to use the product for 30 days and photograph my results! So here you have it, my photos, minus make up, so be gentle dear followers!

After 30 days of using The Holistic Mama's Anti-Aging Facial Serum I was impressed. My skin was soft and firm yet supple. The dryness seemed to decrease a lot and I didn't get super oily throughout the day like normal (if I tried to use lotions and what not). I liked to use it at night before bed because it seemed relaxing and the scent was calming. My skin did not burn at all when I used it, but instead made it feel refreshed.

The photos show a slight firming as well as my pores decreasing slightly, but what I enjoyed the most about the serum was not something that you can not see in the photos. I love how soft my skin is now, I don't remember the last time my face was this soft. It seems to retain the moisture and not get dry as easily as it used to, which I LOVE as well!

Overall, I was impressed with the Anti- Aging Facial Serum. I saw some great changes within a short period of time, I can't even imagine all the wonderful improvements that could take place with my skin long term!


I hope you all enjoyed my review and have a great night dear followers!
