Nourish, Organic Food for Healthy Skin, Review

I got some goodies from Nourish to try out and share my honest thought with you guys and the company. Nourish is an organic beauty company. They offer “100 percent USDA certified organic, high-performance and high- quality formulations offered in distinctive scents made of exclusive blends of 100 percent USDA certified organic essential oils and extracts.” I could not have explained the company better. They carry many different bath and body products in four different scents.

  The first thing I got to try is their organic hand wash in lavender mint. It is the first time I have come across organic hand wash and was very excited to try it. The bottle has a lovely picture on it and I am proud to show it in my bathroom. I took the big bottle and split it. I work with food and wash my hands at least 30 times a day at work, so I wanted to see how it worked when using it that much. The smell is heavenly. I love lavender and mint and when they are together it this soap they are perfect. The next thing I learned is a little goes a long way. When using it you only need about half a pump and you are good. If you use too much it takes a little longer to get off your hands. So just keep that in mind while you are using it. Now as for using it over and over it is great. When you use the right amount it lathers easily and rinses away quickly. Your hands feel squeaky clean when you dry them. It has helped my hands feel smoother and softer instead of drying them out. I have found I do not have to use as much lotion because my hands stay soft and moisturized. I give this soap 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to everyone one.

  The next product I tried is their organic body wash. This product I am on the fence still about, I think. I am still using it and trying to decide which way to go with it. First thing is the scent. It is almond vanilla, and it is amazing. I look forward to it every morning. It fills the bathroom with this great scent. When you rinse it off it leaves a weird scent on your body. It is not a bad scent, just weird. I was expecting to smell like the almond vanilla after the shower. I have also found with this product you have to use more than normal to get a nice lather. This is not the worst thing I was just thinking it would be like the hand soap where less is more. Once you get those out of the way it is a god body wash. It is a creamy type of texture which lathers and goes on to your body great once you get the amount right. It rinses off and does not leave that nasty residue on your skin like many other body washes do. You fell squeaky clean, yet moisturized. I would give this product 4 out of 5 stars. This is mainly just because of the scent not lasting after the soap is off. I really love the scent and wish I could smell it all day. If you were to layer it with their lotion maybe you could solve that problem. I do recommend it thought because it makes you feel so clean and fresh without the heavy nasty feeling some soaps leave on your body.

Eylure false lashes

Hey everyone, I am back to talk to you about Eylure false lashes. They were nice enough to send me two pairs to review and give my honest thoughts about them. This is another first for me; I have never used or even really thought about false lashes before. The two they sent me were number 020, natural volume, and number 100, super full. My favorite is the 020. They looked natural and made my eyes pop. The other ones also looked natural. I think I like the other ones more just because I am not use to looking at myself with false lashes yet.

   Each set of lashes comes with the glue and directions. I found the directions very easy to follow and I was very happy they were in there. I also worried about using the glue because my eyes are so sensitive. I can only use three brands of make-up on my eyes without swelling up. This glue did not bug me at all. Not one bit of watering, redness, and thing. I was honestly shocked and happy at the same time. I did not have to cut them down to fit. They had no pointy or weird edges on them, and are very soft to the touch. I have worn them both a few times. I even wore them to the crazy grand opening at my job and never had to fix them or add extra glue to them. From what I have seen online and learned from playing with these, they are great. They are light weight, easy to put on, and the glue holds great. I give them 5 out of 5 and would recommend them to anyone. I have added their website so you can take a look at them. If you are a false lasheslover, or are new to them I would pick on some of these to try.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

The company Batiste was nice enough to send me a can of their dry shampoo in exchange for my honest thoughts about it. This was a cool review to do because I had never used a day shampoo before. So I do not have much to compare it too, but I can tell you what I thought of it.

   It is in the fresh scent, which is a very pleasant scent. It is not to strong or overbearing. It is a scent that I think a man or a woman could get away with using. I very much enjoyed the scent of it. Everyone else in my house and that I came in contact with also liked it. I have very greasy hair and cannot miss a wash without it looking very bad. That is one reason I never tired dry shampoo, I did not think it would help at all. It did, my hair did not look as fresh as just getting out of the shower, but it still looked good. It also gave my very fine hair huge volume. I had no clue that would be an effect of the shampoo, but it got me hooked right there. My hair never has volume and it looked great. I have been using it just, when I wanted a little extra for my hair. I have not had any problems with it leaving my hair white or flaking out at all. I hold it about 8 inches from my hair, hold up my roots and spray it all over. I work it in and then brush it out. It is simple and works. I really like this product and it has turned me into a dry shampoo fan. It gets 5 out of 5 stars in my book.

EO, organic pet product review

     The company EO was nice enough to send me a package of goodies to review for you guys. First of all EO is a family owned and run certified organic manufacture.  They have everything from hand soap, body lotion, to pet stuff. Everything is natural, gentle, effective and no animal testing. I really enjoyed looking around their site and reading about them and their products. I will leave their link at the bottom so you can take a look.

     So, on to what I got to test. This was so fun because what I got was for my puppies and not me. They sent their shampoo and conditioner in lavender aloe, and their natural dog groomer in citrus n mint. Both products smell amazing. I will start with the shampoo and conditioner. They are both gentle and biodegradable. The dog I will talk about most is my sister’s hippo, ha-ha. He is a 120lb plus, longer coated, red mutt. This poor dog has had the worst skin, dry, flaky, itchy. The only shampoo we found that he could handle was baby shampoo. Well we said what the heck let’s try this new stuff on him. Well it worked great on him. A little went a long way. It had great lather and smelled so good. The condition went on easy and spread nicely. Both rinsed out of his fun with no problems at all. One of the best parts is that none of the dogs have a wet dog smell after being washed. They hold onto the smell of lavender and I love it.  My dog is a broken coat Jack Russell and this shampoo and condition worked great on her. It made both of their coats very, very soft, fluffy and shiny. The only thing I noticed was that my dog, Jazzmin, has lots of white and the baby shampoo makes it look a little brighter. I will trade that any day though for her soft fluffy coat EO’s products gave her.

      The next product is the Natural Dog Groomer in citrus-n- mint.  This is a great refreshing spray to use in between baths. It helps to soothe dryness and itching and condition the dog’s skin. This product also smells great. The smells of all three products last for a while too. This helped keep the pups coats smelling great and very soft. On our oldest dog we only used the spray because it is too much on him to get a full bath, and the spray made his coat so nice and smell great. Now using all of these products on my sister’s dog has helped nicely with his skin problems. These products are great. I have nothing to say bad about them. On their site you can buy them alone or order the whole set. These products have 5 out of 5 in my book.
