Junetics: Pure Energy Skincare Review



Junetics beauty and skincare company recently launched a new product line, the Junetics Pure Energy System. This skincare system is an array of products designed to work together to help you achieve more radiant, moisturized, firmer, more youthful looking skin. Created with a proprietary E24 Complex that you can read all about here .


Pure Energy Nourishing Cleanser is a lotion like cleanser that moisturizes as it cleans. It is ideal for all skin types but works especially well on dry skin. Right before I received this cleanser for review I was going through some major skin issues. I had recently washed my face with a bar soap I had never tried before and ended up having the worst allergic reaction to it. Something in the soap caused my face to puff up, turn red, itch like crazy, but even worse it actually dried my skin up so bad it started to flake off. It felt like sand paper! It looked like I had gone through some sort of chemical peel gone wrong. It was terrible! My skin had been dry and miserable for days, I was afraid to wash it with anything but water. When I received some Pure Energy products in the mail I was still fearful to try them. My skin was extra sensitive and I didn't want to further irritate it. Still I was in need of some major moisturizing and when I read that this Nourishing Cleanser was great for even the most sensitive skin and provided lots of moisture I decided to give it a shot. This cleanser is great! It immediately started healing my dry skin and felt softer and more nourished after just a couple of uses. 


Pure Energy Brightening Day Cream with SPF 50 is a day cream that not only offers moisture but it also protects your skin from the dangers of UV rays. I have been using this day cream on a daily basis underneath my makeup, especially around my eyes. I love that it is lightweight and non greasy and helps my makeup go on smoother. This cream can also be reapplied throughout the day if you are planning to be out in the sun and need extra protection. 


Pure Energy Night Cream is a lightweight moisturizer that works while you snooze. You apply it to your face and neck after cleansing and wake up with nourished skin. 

Their are several other products in the Junetics Pure Energy skin line to try. None of these products contain mineral oils, petroleum, pthalates, triclosan, nitrosamine and sulfates. They are not formulated with parabens or harmful ingredients and they are never tested on our furry friends. Purchase Junetics beauty and skincare products online

Green Goo Review


Green Goo is a family owned and operated company that provides all natural and environmentally friendly personal care products. They offer everything from first aid products, skin care products, sun protection products and even products for the fur babies in your home. All their products are made in the USA and made with 100% all natural herbs and oils. I was sent one of their Travel Packs for review, the Outdoor Travel Pack
The Outdoor Travel pack is the perfect size to throw in a backpack for your next hiking adventure or toss in your camping bag for your next wilderness sleepover. It includes two nourishing and soothing lip balms, Sweet Honey and Citrus Zest, one for yourself and one to share. I would recommend keeping the Sweet Honey for yourself, it was my favorite. It also contains two 1 oz. tins, First Aid and Pain Relief.  First Aid is perfect for dry and cracked hands and feet, insect bites, scrapes, cuts and even poison ivy. It is made with a variety of herbs and oils that create temporary relief from minor skin irritations. Pain Relief is a salve that contains Arnica to help relieve pain, inflammation and swelling. This is perfect to relieve muscles after a long day of trekking through the woods. Finally this travel pack contains a 1 oz. bottle of Bug Be Gone. This is my favorite product in this particular kit, because nobody wants to be bit by pesky little bugs and, because it absolutely works at keeping the pests away. Just spray it on and enjoy a  bug free day. It also smells really good unlike some bug sprays and it is totally safe for children and pets! I have been using this on my daughter anytime I know she will be out doors for a length of time. I am also planning to get this in the larger 4.5 oz. bottle for my husband who works in Alaska where mosquitoes are everywhere. This Outdoor Travel pack sells for $24.95. you can also find other travel packs online and check out some more of their products. Their Animal First Aid  is perfect for dry cracked doggy pads and calloused dog elbows.

Go Roll-On!


When I was a teenager living at home I used spray deodorant, mostly because it was what my mom bought, and all I knew. It wasn't until I moved away from home, when I was eighteen, that I purchased my first roll-on deodorant, and it's all I buy to this day.  My mom still uses the same spray deodorant and I know it sounds silly, but I cringe when I think about that cold, wet spray hitting my underarms and that overwhelming smell of baby powder, not to mention the white stains. Ugh, sorry mom. 

Ban-Roll-On Deodorant glides on smoothly, it is invisible so you don't have to worry about having white underarms or leaving white marks on your tops. It eliminates odor and wetness for up to 24 hours so you feel fresh and clean. Ban comes in several scents including:

-          Regular for a light and clean floral fragrance

-          Powder Fresh for a classic powder scent

-          Satin Breeze for a feminine touch with green and citrus notes

-          Fresh Cotton for a refreshing floral heart with a hint of fruit

-          Simply Clean for fresh and powdery amber notes with hint of peach nectar

-          Unscented for sensitive skin

My favorite of the bunch is Simply Clean. It is lightly floral with a hint of sweetness and not the least bit overwhelming. I am seriously thinking of purchasing several bottles for my mom in hopes that she puts down the spray can! You can purchase Ban Roll-On Deodorant at drug and mass retailers nationwide including CVS, Target and Safeway to name a few.

Dancing with the Stars by Norvell Sunless Collection Review


Norvell, the industry leader of self-tanning products, recently teamed up with the ABC hit Dancing with the Stars to bring fans some fabulous sun-less tanning products. These products are top of the line, easy to use and will have your skin looking amazing in no time.  

This new line includes 5 products to help you achieve a natural, flawless tan. Look like one of your favorite DWTS cast members without the help of a professional! 


PRECISION Disposable Self Tanning Mitt is my favorite product in this lineup. You slip on the mitt and rub across your skin for a streak free long lasting color. The mitt includes a blend of bronzers and  moisturizers, to nourish and firm your skin, all while leaving it with a sun-kissed glow. The mitt is very easy for even a beginner like me to use. 


PERFECTION Self Tanning Mousse is a lightweight, airy mousse that you smooth across your  body. This products is much easier to apply then a lotion because it is not thick and greasy but rather glides on effortlessly leaving your skin feeling soft to the touch. I would suggest wearing gloves when applying this as it does stain the palms of your hands. I would also add that you try to blend into your skin in long motions covering up as much as you can each time, as it can show uneven or streaky if you do not. This stuff may take a little practice to get the hang of it but once you do you will have a deep tan that lasts for days. 


ENDURANCE Color Boosting Skin Perfector is a multipurpose body balm. Use it after you apply your tan to brighten and moisturize. It also helps to even out your skin tone and extend your color and will help even out any streaking or imperfections in your self -tan. It does provide some color as well but it is more subtle. This was my second favorite product of the bunch. 


PERFORMANCE Self- tanning Airbrush Spray makes you feel like a professional tanner with a sweep of your arm. The fine mist is easy to spray on, and then use your gloves to blend in if needed, This gives you a deep tan, I would suggest using sparingly if you are fair skinned. 


DAZZLE Shimmering Mist adds some glitz and glamour to your tan, just like your favorite dancer! This stuff is great to add a little bronze and sparkle to your body before heading out for the evening. You can also use it to glam up your hairstyle with just a few spritzes 

All of these products in the Dancing with the Stars product line have a pleasant smell and do not leave you looking orange. They are a great alternative to those unsafe tanning beds and will help you save money at home without hitting the tanning salon. You can purchase the entire product line online

Now go throw on your dancing shoes and show of some gorgeous color!

Arbonne Review


Are you looking for products that will help you achieve that perfect bold brow and dewy flushed cheeks? Then I have some great products to share with you from Arbonne

Arbonne skincare products are made with pure, safe and beneficial ingredients. Ingredients that are natural, non toxic, safe for the environment. Their products are formulated without: 

talc | tallow | carbon black | animal products or by-products | parabens | formaldehyde-donating preservatives | phthalates | formaldehyde | alkylphenols | benzene | monoethanolamine | triclosan | synthetic dyes | hydroquinone | artificial sweeteners | artificial flavors | cholesterol | trans fats | mineral oil.

So you never have to worry about the quality of Arbonne products. 


For bold brushed brows I received Arbonne's Shape It Up Brow Pencil and Shape It Up Tinted Brow Cream for review. I love this brow pencil! It comes in different shades to match your brows. One side of this pencil is a brush to help you tame your unruly brows and the other side is a pencil that blends into your existing eyebrows to fill in any areas. I love how natural and feathery the pencil looks when you lightly color in your brows. If you want a more bold look just press a little harder and use a little more of the pencil. This brow pencil makes it so easy to get the look you want. This is by far my favorite brow pencil I have ever used. The Brow Cream is also another good product but this one delivers a little more of a dramatic look. It looks like a tube of mascara for your eyebrows and tends to show up a little darker then the pencil. It does a great job of shaping your brows while filling them in. Both of these products are water-resistant and smudge proof and they contain a larch and green tea complex that help make your eyebrows appear fuller.

For cheeks that pop with shine and color I received Arbonne's Blush in Ballet and Sheer Glow Highlighter. The blush gives you a pop of subtle color without looking over done and is long lasting. Add a touch of highlighter on top and you have cheeks that look rosy and sun-kissed. Arbonne has several other blush shades to choose from. The Sheer Glow Highlighter is perfect for all skin tones and can be dabbed anywhere on your face and body that needs a little glow. 

These products and more can be purchased online .
