My Bella Aura Skincare Review: https://youtu.be/vGThNoLFiWA
Hi Darlings! I hope you guys are having a wonderful time leading up to the special holidays. Did you manage to get all of your shopping done? Baking done? I have one more gift to get and I am finished. I am leaving soon to head to Indiana to see my mom's side of the family. My father, son, and boyfriend will be accompanying me. I can't wait to spend a few days with everyone!
I am here to talk about a very exciting skincare line! It is called Bella Aura. My skin is glowing and hasn't looked better. I'm going to
share with you guys how to achieve youthful looking, healthy, radiant skin. The Bella Aura skincare products I have to share with you today are designed to
reverse aging, increase antioxidants, erase fine wrinkles, and deep cleanse
your skin without disturbing your skin's natural moisture levels or dry it out.
Post moisturization glow! Not edited. Bella Aura Skincare Review - BeautyMindSpirit.com
Most of you who have been following me for a while know that I believe in using natural skincare and body products. They are important
to me. Our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. So the first thing I want to touch it is a natural product that won't harm my body. With that being said, I am always looking for the best performing natural skincare and body care products out there. When I come across a line that works super well, I have to rave about it and let you guys know. This is one of those times!
I was contacted by Yasmine, the founder, a couple months ago and we both resonated with each other. We share very similar morals and values. She shared with me her story behind the creation of Bella Aura, and I absolutely loved it. She
was inspired by the Berber tribes of Morocco. Their ancient skincare philosophy
has been proven by science. She combines nature with science to create her
products and I'm a total geek for that. She is a philanthropist and helps sustain women in Morrocco who source her the ingredients she uses for her skincare. She has a spiritual tone to what she does. She can see chakras and is very intuitively sensitive and empathic
like myself. The design and colors of her logo represent her spiritual nature
and that is amazing to me.
My experience using this skincare was great! I have combination/oily skin. I think this product line would work great for
ALL skin types. It didn't disturb or create more oil on my oily t-zone. I saw a glow, instantly... and that
glow increased after three days. My skin feels soft and supple. My texture
didn't improve very much (I have stubborn texture), but my skin tone did. Texture is usually something that I need to use microdermabrasion for or another form of exfoliant anyway, so that didn't surprise me or disappoint me.
Bella Aura uses a fusion of 4 ancient oils they call the Kamilah Blend. These oils are: Argan, Fig de Barbary, Neroli, Nigella. This is why her skincare line is different and stands out. Let's dig a little deeper into what these oils do. I'm going to insert some of the information I read on the website.
"Kamilah Oil Complexes - Precious natural treasures
from the heart of Morocco ancient culture. The benefits of these potent oils
have been cultivated and used by Moroccan Berbers for centuries. Each oil has
tremendous benefits on it’s own, but this blended 4 oil concentrate gives
mind-blowing visible results
The Argan Tree - The Argan tree is known as the iron
tree because of its ability to survive in an extremely harsh climate. The
oil from its fruit is known for its superior nutritional value to the skin. The
Berbers believed that it has magical powers for a person’s spirit.
The Fig de Barbary - The oil from the seed of
the Fig de Barbary (Moroccan cactus fruit) has the highest concentration
of Vitamin E of any botanical based oils. It’s believed to create a
barrier against negative energy.
Neroli - Neroli, which comes from the flower of the
bitter orange tree, is known as a confidence booster. It has incredible
benefits to the skin and is said to calm the emotional being by protecting
against negative elements that surrounds us.
Nigella - Nigella oil comes from black cumin seeds.
It’s believed to be a miracle oil that has healing powers for the skin
and protect against negative energy.
Our Kamilah blend is an exclusive, natural solution to fight
the signs of aging and boost your natural beauty and confidence.
Bella Aura is elevated by science. Bella
Aura has created a line of natural skin care products that combines natural
ingredients formulated with advanced natural active
extracts.
Bella Aura's formulation chemist has overcome
the difficult task of creating emulsion formulas resulting in products that
reflect the best qualities of serums and creams. The goal was to create a line
of natural skin care products that delivers positive results.
Their emulsion formulas are
loaded with:
High levels of hyaluronic acid to exfoliate the old
cells and replenish new cells
Collagen to improve and retain elasticity and a firmer
skin texture
Elastin boosters that minimize signs of aging and
maximize a youthful appearance
They combined these essential
nutrients with advances science technology and active ingredients that contain:
Powerful botanical extracts for their highly effective
improvements to skin hydration
High performance peptides that penetrate the skin
deeply and more effectively
Antioxidants to help stop the free radicals that cause
oxidative stress on the skin
Vitamins to nourish the skin for a more youthful glow
Minerals to boost the skin's performance
Here's my video talking about the products on my YouTube channel:

I got my hands on Kylie Cosmetics Kyshadow Burgundy Palette a little over a month ago, and finally had the chance to play with it! I created this makeup look using the warm shadows of this palette. I wanted to create a very easy, natural warm eyeshadow look. I think the shadows are nice and pigmented! They blend well for me. I think it's a great palette to try out :)

It has been a long time, beautiful people. I'm sorry for the delay of posts. I have been going through a lot of life changes and some ups as well as downs. If you'd like to hear all about it, I'll either post a video or create a post about it for you. Alas, I am here to share a review of this deliciously smelling essential oil blend kit that I received from doTERRA.
Many of us have heard of doTERRA by now... and essential oils have become a stable in a lot of our lives. I grew up with a unique dynamic of Amish/Mennonite and Native American relatives. Because of this, I have been using tinctures, herbs, and salves for my medicine needs all of my life. It was only natural that I would fall in love with essential oils several years ago when I was first introduced to them. I like all kinds of brands.. Young Living, Aura Cacia, Mountain Rose Herbs, etc. I also love supporting local essential oil vendors and distillers when I can.
Once my friend Sabrina showed me this essential oil kit that had all of these amazingly smelling emotional blends.. I had to get my hands on my own, because the blends were having an affect on my moods. I could feel them working! I decided to sign up and take advantage of the discount associated with becoming a wellness advocate.
Here's the pricing: Non-Member Price: $212.00 Preferred Member Price: $159.00
The doTERRA Emotional Aromatherapy System is based on chemistry.
Beginning with a specific chemical profile, the blends were put together
based on the known properties of their chemical constituents as opposed
to simply providing a pleasant aroma. While responses can be highly
individual, the blending of these specific essential oils has created a
synergistic composition ideal to promoting healthy emotional responses.
doTERRA Motivate™ Encouraging Blend is a wonderful combination of several
citrus and mint essential oils, including Yuzu, Clementine, and
Peppermint. This blend marks dōTERRA’s first use of Yuzu, the
limonene-rich essential oil expressed from the peel of the mandarin-like
Japanese fruit. The resulting chemical profile is high in monoterpenes
and monoterpene alcohols, which are known for their uplifting and toning
properties. Motivate is the perfect aromatic compliment to help promote
feelings of confidence when working on an important school project.
doTERRA Cheer™ Uplifting Blend is an invigorating mixture of citrus and spice
essential oils. Featuring Wild Orange, Cinnamon Bark, and Star Anise
essential oils, the resulting chemical profile is rich in monoterpene
and aldehydes, renowned for their uplifting and warming properties.
Comprised almost entirely of the phenylpropene anethole, Star Anise
essential oil brings potent energizing characteristics to the new blend.
Apply one drop of doTERRA Cheer to your hands, rub together, and inhale
deeply to help incite feelings of optimism.
doTERRA Passion™ Inspiring Blend balances spice and herbal essential oils.
Included in the blend is Damiana, a very rare essential oil rich in
1,8-cineole and alpha pinene, which is renowned for its renewing
properties. Combining Cinnamon Bark, Ginger, Cardamom, Clove, and
Damiana creates a chemical profile with high concentrations of phenols
and ethers to provide warming and renewing benefits. Diffuse doTERRA
Passion at your work desk to help spark creativity.
doTERRA Forgive™ Renewing Blend mixes familiar tree and herb essential oils to
create a diverse chemical profile with high concentrations of
monoterpene esters, alcohols, and sesquiterpenes. Most interesting is
the introduction of Nootka Tree Wood, an essential oil with a very
diverse chemistry composed primarily of soothing and grounding
sesquiterpenes. Nootka Tree Oil is known largely for balancing emotions
in stressful situations. Pure Thyme essential oil balances out the blend
with potent renewing and toning properties. No meditation session is
complete without diffusing doTERRA Forgive to help encourage patience
and contentment.
doTERRA Console™ Comforting Blend
combines floral and tree essential oils. The combination of Rose
absolute, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, Sandalwood, and several other
highly valued tree and flower essential oils creates a blend rich in
both monoterpenes and sesquiterpene alcohols. Labdanum absolute provides
a number of interesting characteristics to the blend. High in
alpha-pinene, Labdanum is highly renewing and its distinctive aroma is
prized for its ability to balance competing scents. The final product
mirrors its chemical structure and aromatic profile, being highly
grounding and renewing. A drop or two of doTERRA Console on your shirt
collar can be that little extra you need to help counteract feelings of
grief and sadness.
doTERRA Peace™ Reassuring blend is a
fusion of floral and mint essential oils. The union of popular essential
oils such as Lavender and Spearmint, along with the essence of some
lesser-known plants such as Labdanum, creates a chemical profile rich in
monoterpene esters and alcohols for a renewing and toning experience.
The resulting aromatic profile is calming and promotes feelings of peace
and reassurance. Diffuse doTERRA Peace at night to help promote the
calming and restful sleep environment that you need to embrace the next
day.
There are a few ways you can use these oils. Use aromatically in an essential oil diffuser. Apply 1 or 2 drops in your palms, rub hands together, cup in front of your nose, and inhale deeply (do not touch eyes). Dilute and apply topically to aromatherapy touch points such as the back of the neck, on the wrists, and over the heart.
Possible
skin sensitivity. Keep out of reach of children. If you are pregnant,
nursing, or under a doctor’s care, consult your physician. Avoid contact
with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.
What do you think? Do you think this would be a great addition to your meditative or self-care routine? Are there other oils you use to help your emotions and mind-states? Leave a comment and let me know!
Erno Laszlo Skincare First Impression - BeautyMindSpirit
Hey Beauties!
Today I'm going to introduce some of you to Erno Laszlo's infamous skincare brand! I was sent some products to review from Erno Laszlo & Preen.me. Once I started to dig into who Erno Laszlo was, I became so fascinated about him and his story!
Turns out, Erno was infamous to the classic celebrities in the 50s like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, Greta Garbo, and Jackie O. He also treated a few people from royal families overseas. His skincare was popular and sought after. More than that, his private consultations! He was a devoted dermatologist who has a strong background in medical training as well. Upon looking at his ingredients, this man combined nature's healing and powerful ingredients along with some modern twists. This skincare brand is not 100% natural, but it is loaded with a good portion of them.
“I owe 50% of my beauty to my mother and the other 50% to Erno Laszlo,” - Audrey Hepburn
I was sent 5 products to try. Check out my video below to hear my thoughts and see if this skincare brand is something you should get your hands on! Stay tuned for an update on my blog to find out what I think as I continue to use these products.
Say goodbye to horrible, cheap razors that leave you with the ugliest razor bumps from hell...and say hello to a luxurious feeling, affordable razor by the company, DORCO!
I'm in love with their Shai Smooth Touch razor they sent me for review... and here's why!
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, Advanced Eye Treatment, and Superfood Facial Oil First Impression - BeautyMindSpirit.com
Hi Beautifuls! I hope you are having wonderful days or evenings! In today's blog post I am going to talk to you about Elemis Skincare.
I was sent a few items to try from Elemis through Preen.Me and I have to tell you - I'm in love.
I'm not in love with the price, though! This is a luxury skincare company, and the cost is high.
The upside? Results. So many people rave about their skincare products. The reviews on their website are impressive. I can see why. I haven't felt a skincare line like this one before. My skin soaked it up! The products feel incredible on my skin.
Elemis Skincare First Impression
These products aim to be hydrating and anti-aging. There's a lot of collagen in the Marine Cream and delicious ingredients in all of them! Check out my video to learn more about these products.

If you're seeing this before August 22nd 2016, you will have a chance to save 63% and purchase all three of these items for under $100! Normally, all three would cost $268. This is a STEAL.
For one day only, QVC is having a sale on these products. Mark it on your calendars, set reminders, and visit this link to purchase them on August 22nd, 2016:http://qvc.co/tsvELEMIS
I am so humbled and honored to review some products from one of the very first cosmetic companies I was introduced to as a young girl. It really means a lot to me, so thank you Preen.Me and Avon for this wonderful opportunity! And thank YOU, my darlings... for being a part of this experience with me, supporting me...it means the world to me. More than you possibly can know.
Avon released three new skincare products in their ANEW skincare line. They call this the trio of Anew Game Changers. These products are focused on making skin look radiant, smooth, moisturized, youthful, and even-toned by reducing the appearance of acne scars and sun spots.
The ANEW Clinical Extra Strength Retexturizing Peel is the most advanced peel available thanks to the complex of five of the most potent acids. The peel treats both photodamage and acne marks revealing a fresher, smoother and more radiant look.
When I tried this I noticed I felt it working on my skin in a good way. I tend to have sensitive skin to products that you can feel tingle or work on my skin and this didn't irritate it at all. I have a pretty noticeable sun spot on my nose (great spot to have one, let me tell you..), and I can't wait to see if this helps it diminish as I continue to use it.
Avon ANEW Vitamin C Serum - BeautyMindSpirit.com
The next product I received was their ANEW Vitamin C Serum. This is a patented, first-to-market formula that includes a high concentration of 10% pure Vitamin C. It protects the skin from sun, pollution, and other aggressors. They say that in 2 weeks your skin will look brighter, smoother, clearer, and more even-toned.
The feeling of this serum is definitely unique. It feels very moisturizing and silky. The high concentration of the vitamin C did not irritate my skin. I don't think I would wear this under makeup, though. I feel it may be too heavy for those of us with combination/oily skin types.
The last item I received is their ANEW AHA Refining Cream. This cream utilizes an exclusive blend of antioxidants and soothing agents so your skin looks smoother and years younger.
This cream is definitely moisturizing. I felt it plump up my skin and I liked how that felt. When I woke up the next morning, my skin still felt more plump and very hydrated. I would also not recommend using this during the day for combination/oily skin types. Use this at night and sleep with it. I think this will be a great cream to implement into my skincare, because I do need something very hydrating at night time.
I will keep you guys posted on these products as I continue to use them. So make sure you subscribe to me and keep in touch! Thanks again for checking out his post and my videos on YouTube. Love you guys. <3
I'm so happy to announce that I have been working on a secret collaboration with a company called Fragrance By Me. Through this company, you will be able to make your own customizable perfumes or purchase the one I created with them! YES! I got to create my own signature perfume with them and I have DIED about it ever since. I'm so excited about it.
I cannot begin to tell you how incredible it has been to interact with the founders, Outi & Uros. They are most genuine and beautiful and it makes it even more meaningful to me to support what they've created. They believe in something that I also believe in - which is that all of us are unique, amazing, and so very special. They celebrate self-love and expression. To them, creating your own perfume is symbolic of this value.
So now let me introduce you to my signature perfume:
She Is
This perfume smells sweet with a lot of vanilla notes...and is met with oriental and sensual notes. It smells sweet, powdery, and fades away delicately over time. It has a presence to it. The name came to me during a time in my life where I am starting over and finding myself again. I am declaring things for myself as I grow strength in this process. I want to empower myself as I take on the hard moments ahead of me. I wanted to capture this empowering moment and bottle it up for you... so that you can begin to declare things for yourself just as I have been.
She is fierce She is beautiful She is a force to be reckoned with She is confident She is self aware...
