Bonvivant Botanical Mask Pack Madecassoside + Mugwort

Bonvivant is MemeBox's inhouse brand before they started only making beauty products. I used to love shopping on their page to get curated boxes at great prices. I wish they went back to their old sales model of also selling other brands too.

I bought this mask during one of their many promotions for $2. Since it's an affordable mask, I use it quite often in my everyday mask rotation. The mask is enriched with madecassoside, mulberry, fig, pomegranate, ginkgo nut, mugwort extracts to enrich, soothe, and revitalize stressed skin. The mask fit my face well and was comfortable to wear. My skin was left hydrated and soothe the blemishes I had on my cheek.

KocoStar 5 Finger Nail Pack Nail Therapy Multivitamin Nail Treatment

I tend to do my nails at home and I try to take the best care of them as possible. However, somehow or the other my nails end up raggedly. I have used Julep’s nail treatment  before so I was excited to give these a try. The nail treatments are enriched with botanicals and vitamins to protect and prevent against splitting and peeling. Each pack has ten little nail mask to slip over each finger. The recommended wait time is 30 minutes to one hour. The mask was easy to apply but I had trouble with keeping them on though. After, removing each mask there was leftover treatment on my nails. After massaging them in, my skin was soft and my nails were slightly shiny. However, the benefits didn’t keep and next week I found myself having to redo the treatment. This treatment is perfect for maintenance instead of the solve all solution.

I LOVE THIS CREAM! This cream is packed with 36 botanical extracts and vitamin A. This cream combined ancient botanical formulas with advance technology to create a cream that combines the tried and true with cutting edge technology. The emollient cream left my skin feeling rich, nourished, smooth and looking absolutely radiant. I love this cream but I am really sad that this cream is so expensive and my makeup addiction is leaving me so poor.  :(

Julep Sea Salt Texturizing Spray for Hair

Who doesn’t love what the salty air does to hair? It gives hair an amazing bounce, texture, volume, soften and glow. The paraben and sulfate free sea salt water infused with marine botanicals to provide moisture and nourishment to hair. The spray promises to protect hair from sun damage while touting tousled waves. You can use the spray on either damp or dry hair and follow up with heat for more body. If you want more volume, use the spray on wet hair. And on dry hair it gives hair a piecey texture. I have long hair so I usually have to completely saturate my hair with the product and I really don’t notice much of a difference from my normal wavy hair.  I have mostly used the spray on dry hair, as when my hair is wet I usually like using a  nourishing oil on the ends. The only I noticed that my hair is usually very shiny after applying the spray not greasy looking.

This intense serum is like a skin care multivitamin for your skin. It is packed with fruit, botanical extracts and Niacinamide. The potent cocktail promises to reverse fine line, wrinkles, improve skin tone, smooth, soften and improve firmness, elasticity and texture. The creamy formula went on smoothly and left my face feeling soft and firm. I must say, when they say intensive hydration, they really do mean intensive. I used a little bit of the serum on my face and face look like my face was drenched with water. It did take a bit of work to work in all of the serum into my face.The only parts I didn’t like is that my hands were sticky from the lotion and my face did get a bit dry towards the evening. Overall, it was too pricey to buy again and I found other products that work a lot better for less money.

I have tried tons of hair straighteners, anti-frizz serums, detanglers and countless mask applications. Nothing work as great as this did for me! It left my hair so soft, silky, less fizzy and shiny, that I just can't stop playing with my hair! This balm is applied to wet hair and make sure to comb out your hair to ensure that the product is  on evenly otherwise, it leaves little white patches of product in your hair. You can also continue with style as normal. This all natural balm is packed with plant mucilage, ferula, horseradish, sage and chamomile that moisturizes, smooths, straighten, and softens your hair.
