Product Review: Organic beauty products are the latest celebrity trend that you have to try out.
Tropical Smoothie Skin Polish, $26.50
This sugar scrub is like being on vacation! They come in three other amazing scents and make your skin feel like butter. You can use it in a bath or shower and as you scrub, you removed dead skin cells and leave your skin smooth. The fact that it’s made with all-natural ingredients make it even more appealing.
Golden Ocean Marine Extract Collagen Eye Gels, $5.25
These eye gels are infused with marine extracts and do wonders to revive your eyes. What we love most about them is that they make you look awake and relaxed. They also do wonders at brightening your complexion. Their cool and soothing sensation on your skin makes it feel like you’re having a spa day at home at a fraction of the cost!
Blemish Blaster Starter Kit, $29.50
Acne is something that many of us have dealt with at one point or another and this kit includes four products that can be used when your skin just isn’t behaving:
2 oz. Bamboo, Mud, and Bentonite Clay: Bentonite clay is one of the most powerful healing clays and when it comes in contact with toxins, it absorbs them. We used this at night before bed and it left us with such a refreshing feeling. You can feel how clean it makes your skin and it doesn’t leave any residue behind.
4 oz. Blemish Blaster Scrub: This is one of our favorite products because it makes our skin feel so soft after using it and it’s multifaceted. This scrub is made with sugar and acne-fighting essential oils, which smell heavenly. We like to keep this in our gym bag to use after a workout because that’s when we tend to have to most sweat and oils on our face, but this can be used in the shower, as well.
1 oz. Blemish Blaster Makeup Cleansing Oil: This oil is made with the same essential oils that are in the Blemish Blaster Scrub so not only do these products go hand in hand, you can use this oil to remove makeup while fighting your acne. We love using this oil because it’s much gentler than your typical makeup wipes and you don’t have to use much, either.
Full-size Conceal it by Beauty Kitchen: Though we fight to get rid of acne, we may not be able to do much about the scars and that’s where this concealer comes in handy. Like the other products in this kit, it contains essential oils that not only smell amazing but help to support troubled skin. A little goes a long way and this concealer has lasted a long time for us.
Pink Diamond Flake Collagen Eye Gels from The Diamond Collection Face & Eye Gel Set, $21.50
These collagen- and antioxidant-infused eye pads feel amazing on your skin. What’s great about them is that you can use them to prep your face before makeup or as a revitalizer after a long day out. We like to use them to de-stress and tone ours under eyes.
ACV Buildup Removing Hair Rise, $14
This rinse is so clarifying and makes your scalp feel clean after use. What makes it even better is that it is infused with the smell of orange so there isn’t a strong vinegar scent. We found that it’s best to use this type of product once every 1-2 weeks, that way you don’t make your hair too dry.
Hollywood’s Obsession with DIY beauty
By Heather Marianna, owner of Beauty Kitchen
Hollywood’s hottest stars are obsessed with DIY beauty, and it’s easy to see why! Celebrities love being able to pamper themselves on their own time and the proof is on their social media accounts. Tons of popular stars like Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba have all flocked to Instagram to post fun selfies showing them engaging in a variety of at-home skincare treatments (helllloooo epic selfie!) Forget breaking the bank on expensive spa treatments, these at home gems work wonders for a huge fraction of the price. Just ask your favorite celebrity.
Collagen eye gels
Celebrity fans include: Kylie Jenner, Diddy
Whether it’s due to the weather, allergies, too little sleep, a stressful day at work or a wild night of partying – eye gel pads are your go to for tired puffy eyes! There are a huge variety of infused eye gel options out there to help you really tailor your treatment to your exact needs. On my BeautyKitchen.net website, our variety includes selections like green tea collagen, nano gold and ocean marine extract (each under $6) and I can barely keep them in stock. Eye gel pads hydrate the most delicate area of skin on your body in just 20 minutes and aid in the prevention of puffiness, lines and dark circles to leave you with bright-eyed, refreshed eyes!
Lip Masks
Celebrity fans include: Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian
Everybody hates a dreaded dry, chapped lip! It is especially imperative to prep your lips with a mask before applying makeup to ensure a flawless finish. This quick 10-15 minute investment is guaranteed to change your lipstick game! Made with hydrogel, vitamins and nourishing oils, a good lip mask will keep your lips soft, hydrated and looking mega plumped!
Face Masks
Celebrity fans include: Lady Gaga, Chrissy Teigen, Khloe Kardashian
Regardless what your skin type is, there’s a face mask for you! Here’s some insight into the variety of options available for you: Cream Masks – best for normal to dry skin: rich in oils and moisturizers that penetrate skin and re-hydrate dry cells:
Clay Masks – best for normal to oily skin: firming, detoxifying, hydrating and tightening as they close off skin to air, causing the brain to send down natural skin plumpers
Gel Masks – best for dry to sensitive skin: soothing, cooling and extremely hydrating with an emphasis on recovering parched skin
Sheet Masks – best for most skincare types: benefits depend on formula but recommended to use a serum prior to applying mask which will aid in ultra-absorption
Exfoliating Masks – best for most skincare types. Sensitive skin should look for gentle options: sloughs away dead skin and cleanses away dirt from pores.
