Review: LeeAnni Eco 3 in 1 RevoLotion

Ipsy gives you amazing opportunities to try new, never seen products either in full size, deluxe size or sample size and you get 4-5 of those products for just $10 USD. In January's Ipsy bag I got some new products and one of them was the LeeAnni Eco 3 in 1 RevoLotion Toner, Serum and Moisturizer in one. The website says that "This Revolutionary Lotion will save you time during busy morning rush and moisturize your face all day long!" Now I have read a couple reviews and honestly they were not so positive and I said to myself that I must try this product to see what all this negativity buzz is about because I know Ipsy isn't going to have you use some "fly-by-night" product to mess up your skin or face. However the only place I saw positive comments about this moisturizer was on their website, so I really needed to check this out. So here is my review:

THE PACKAGING

This was a sample size so the packaging wasn't too exorbitant. It was in this little plastic container, no writings on it and just a little brown sticker to the top of the cover with the name of the product and the website. In my opinion I think the packaging for this could have been a bit more informative, like letting persons know what the product contains than have you actually go to their website to try to find it and read up about it, I mean in all truth LeeAnni did say that this is to be used "during busy morning rush". So it should have said a bit more on the packaging.

THE PRODUCT

Now the product looked like, could I be honest here for a second?? It looked a bit like semen in a container, I do apologize but that is what came to my mind when I uncovered it. However I proceeded straight to the website to read up on this product.  The website said:

"Properties of ingredients: Help tighten skin, reduce breakouts, relieve dark circles under Eyes, moisturize, fight aging, treat sun damages, and calm irritated skin" It also said "Gluten-Free * Natural"

On reading this I was immediately willing to try this, as lately I have been getting dark circles under my eyes, I sometimes need something to moisturize my face when it's dry and I have been gravitating towards a lot of products that fights aging. So this product seemed right up my alley. Just the look of it was a bit disturbing to me personally, my opinion. In regards to scent, to me it didn't really have much of a scent to it which is another positive for me, I don't really like moisturizers with a scent.

THE APPLICATION

The application is simple like any other face products, I usually dab a dot on my forehead, a dot on each cheek, a dot on my nose and a dot on my chin and proceed to rub in a circular motion upwards into the skin. I try my utmost best to not rub downwards as your skin can start sagging early in your growing years, so to speak, so try massaging upwards.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

So here is the part I have been awaiting to discuss. I actually love this product for the very short time I have been using it as it was only a sample size I got. I used it every night, before I went to bed. I woke up with my face feeling really moisturized and soft to the touch.  I actually saw less dark circles under my eyes, of course I guess I would have to purchase the full size to see better results and my skin seemed a bit tighter and usually I breakout with a pimple or two before my period and to be honest this month of February there was no pimple breakout, which I didn't even know until writing this review that it was thanks to this 3 in 1 RevoLotion product. I actually loved it, too bad it was sample, so mine is done. My only negative of the product is that on the sample it had no proper explanation of the ingredients and what this product can do for your skin, which will make anybody skeptical to try it. But I loved it and I give this product

4/5

Ipsy Glam Bag January 2014 - 19 Reasons

Ipsy has become one of the things I look forward to every month. And for those who haven't caught "Ipsy fever" as yet, here is what you will be getting yourself into - You get to sample amazing products tailored to you before you subscribe for membership. To become a member (which is free) you get to fill out a quiz so that they can personalize your items when they send off the glam bag.  It costs $10 USD and shipping is free to anywhere in the US.  I, however live in the Caribbean - Trinidad & Tobago to be exact and I have obtained a skybox in Miami as Ipsy does not ship international as yet. So I will pay the $10 plus my Shipping and Handling charges from my skybox company in Trinidad and it is still affordable because of all the items I get to try. The subscription promises 4-5 full size or deluxe samples each month. So to my Caribbean readers, yes you can subscribe to Ipsy but you must have a skybox in the US for them to ship the bag to.

Now onto the bag and the wonderful goodies I got this month:

Review - Big Sexy Hair Spray&Play Hairspray

I got this hairspray in my January Ipsy Bag, and when I saw it I was like "Damn, something I don't think I'm gonna use" and let me tell you - I WAS SOO WRONG!!!!! For the month of April, I have used this more than ever, so much that it's DONE, KAPUT...I mean it was a travel size 50ml bottle.

Now I had no idea that Big Sexy Hair's Spray&Play Hairspray is the brand's most famous product, until I used it. I never even heard about this brand until I got it in my Ipsy bag, because I was never into hairsprays, like ever, but Big Sexy Hair has convinced me that I NEED hairspray, not just any hairspray, but theirs lol. So the following is my review on this hairspray.

THE PACKAGING

The packaging is great.  It comes in a metallic red metal can, with a black plastic cap.  The Big Sexy Hair logo is written down the side of the can in black and silver and the product name is at the front. Taking off the cap reveals the spray mechanism to which I must say distributes the product evenly.

THE PRODUCT

The smell of this hairspray isn't overpowering which I lovvvee.  It sprays out evenly when I use it.  It mists all over, wherever you want it to go, it doesn't stray, so to speak.

THE APPLICATION


Just spray it over your styled hair and walla!!! It lasts very long.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE

Now my hair is naturally very curly, lately I have been pressing my hair out, which makes it straight and trust me, Big Sexy's Spray&Play makes my hair last for DAYS, did you just read that - for DAYS.  Even though my hair lasts for days, it still stays soft, but the hold is for long and it gives my hair volume, my hair looks 10 times thicker than it really is, total OMG moment. It isn't affected by heat, humidity, grease or sweat and it washes out easily. It keeps my hair in place without making it heavy or rock hard. I totally recommend this hairspray for at home and even the hair salons.  I give this

4.5/5
