Last week I went down to my local Ulta in search of a new moisturizer. To say the least I was overwhelmed by the selection of products to choose from.Thankfully an extremely helpful employee helped me with what I was looking for. She happened to be one of the brand specialists for Juice Beauty...
"high efficacy yet authentically organic beauty
solutions masterminded by a California team passionate about healthy
lifestyles and whose organic products are backed by powerful science." Since I wasn't sure if I wanted to just throw down a bunch of money on something that may not work for me she gave me a bunch of samples! So I thought I would do a review on them and share with all of you guys!
It had my attention as soon as I saw 'organic'. I've found that with my skincare products, the less chemicals, the better results. As I have
extremely sensitive, dry skin. The thing that I found the most interesting about this brand is that they use a JUICE base, instead of water like most products. How cool is that!? I mean, think about all the good antioxidants in this stuff! Even their labs are solar powered! I'll start with these:
Blemish Clearing Cleanser: Prevent blemishes, deeply cleanse and remove impurities with this
clarifying cleanser of certified organic lemon, cherry and aloe juices.
Deeply cleanses, heals while hydrating.
Blemish Clearing Serum: Reduce breakouts, unclog pores, and even skin tone with this powerful
serum packed with organic fruit acids and salicylic acid from willow
bark; while organic aloe, CoQ10 and fat-soluble Vitamin C renew the skin
for a healthy, clear complexion. Heals while hydrates.
Oil-Free Moisturizer: Hydrate, quench and restore your skin's natural moisture balance with
this lightweight oil-free moisturizer that contains a blend of certified
organic grape and pomegranate, soothing aloe vera, vitamin antioxidants
and nutrient-rich sea algae to restore the skin's natural balance.
All in all, I would say that I really like all of these together. I notice after using it my redness evens up a bit and it leaves my skin baby soft! It has a pretty strong "organic" smell to it though. I know a lot of people can find that unappealing, but personally I love that natural smell. So it's good in my book there. The only complaint I have is that it is a bit thick and leaves a sort of sticky feeling after, but it's really not that bad. Because once it all dries it leaves your skin really smooth.
Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream (Natural Glow)
It says it has 12 benefits in 1. Repairs damage, evens skin tone & texture, firms & improves elasticity, reduces fine lines & wrinkles, creates a radiant glowing complexion, balances skin tone, rich in antioxidants, protects with chemical free SPF 30, mineral tinted coverage, ultimate moisturizer, skin perfecting color, and great for all skin types.
You guys have all heard about the BB Cream craze, this is basically the same! I really enjoy this product in specific. Since it doubles as a moisturizer (which I DESPERATELY need!) and a makeup product it's very convenient. I have noticed it does a good job with making my skin appear more even, and it does fill in my fine lines under my eyes pretty nicely. However it doesn't give much coverage in my opinion. I'm used to wearing full coverage foundation just because of my redness and I need a bit more. BUT, if I feel like putting on a full coverage foundation I found that this works really well as a base/primer, as makes my foundation look 1000x better! Its always good to know that you're putting a good clean product on your bare skin before anything for optimum protection. It also only comes in 2 shades, natural glow, and warm glow. But that doesn't really pose a problem since it is a very sheer coverage. Once again, it has a strong organic smell, and is a bit thick. But once you warm it up and blend it in it smooths out nicely.
I can't wait to keep using these products! I plan on purchasing a full size bottle soon! You can check out the brands website here: http://www.juicebeauty.com/
