Acure Organics review

In case you haven't heard of the brand Acure Organics before, they offer natural and organic skincare and haircare products to help you feel your very best- natural!

They recently sent me a few samples to try their line and I am psyched about everything I have used already. 

First, items for the shower routine: 

Mint and Echinacea Stem Cell Shampoo & Conditioner for fine, limp hair- loved how invigorating my hair felt during the wash and loved how it looked and felt afterward. Wasn't oily and felt good and conditioned afterward. 

Argan cell stimulating Body Wash- a moisturizing body wash left my skin feeling smooth after the shower

Advanced triple moisture system Body Lotion- already loving how my skin felt after the shower with the body wash, the lotion reinforced it. I particularly used this for my legs that get dry easily.

Items for your skincare routine:

Oil control facial moisturizer- I adore this light-weight moisturizer especially for the summer. It provided me enough moisture on my face so it didn't feel too dry in the Cali heat as well as enough oil control for my oily/combo skin. Winner!!

radical resurfacing treatment- this serum was a nice nighttime "treatment" for my skin. Have not been using too many skincare products in the evening lately so this felt comfortable to use. My skin felt smooth and nourished after use.

Argan Oil- a staple oil that I believe everyone should have in their beauty closet- this was very similar to other Argan oils I have tried before. Perfect to use in lieu of or additional to a moisturize.

Thanks to Acure Organics for letting me sample these goodies! Looking forward to trying more of your other products to incorporate into my skin and body care routine! 

RBX Active Capri Leggings Review + Coupon

This summer is all about being active and getting fit! To help with some of my personal goals, I've been looking at adding new workout pieces to my wardrobe. Capris are my favorite kind of bottoms because they can be worn pretty much all year long! (Savings!)

Here's a pair of the Digital Cameo leggings from RBX Active's Power Collection:

What I love about this pair besides the fit, is the awesome abstract pattern! This bright neon and grey coloring is sure to get the attention of other fitness fashionistas while making you feel confident while working out. 

The material is incredibly soft and absorbs sweat to keep you feeling dry. It's also stretchy for comfort and looks incredibly smooth so you can look your very best!!

May Birchbox and Ipsy Reveals

For the month of May, I got the following in my Birchbox and Ipsy subscriptions.

Birchbox: Chosen sample was the Naobay moisturizing lotions

Ipsy bag: Jetsetter themed 

Each subscription is $10/month and includes free shipping. Each box/bag will vary in products depending on the style profile/quiz provided to them. I'm pleased with both subscriptions this month as I enjoy the variety. (I don't mind double moisturizers either since I love using them.)

Stay tuned for my June reveals!
