Products That Didn't Work (for me)

Photo by @naturalbeautymermaid
Please note: these products may not work for me but could work for you.


I'm starting from left to right.
Drunk Elephant Umbre Tinte Physical Daily Defense Protection - I was hesitant to get this product in the first because the tint could be a little bit too dark.  For one I didn't care for the sun protection smell, I guess I'm getting used to the natural protection smell. Yes, the tint didn't work so well for my very pale skin.  


Josh Rosebrook Nutrient Day Cream with Broad Spectrum SPF 30 - Okay, This one smells better than the tinted one I tried so it was bad.  Sorry, I know a lot of natural beauty bloggers or natural beauties like this product but I'm not a fan. Essential oil/ Botanicals are not my friends at times. It definitely showed with this product. My skin was hot, flushed, and irritated. Next day my skin was drier, itchy, and irritated. Nothing against the product but my skin was not feeling it. 


100% Pure Brows green tea fibers - To be nice, not enough product, goes bad fast, and price. 


Leeannie Co 3 in 1 Revolution Light - It's a toner, serum, and moisturizer in one. My skin broke out from this product. I used it a lot to make sure it was that product. Unscented. Organic.

Please note I tried these products when my skin was clear of breakouts or irritation. I tried no new products when trying these products. I like to pinpoint what product caused an issue.    

Note: Natural Sun Protection I prefer is Suntegrity & Kypris.

Thank for Check My Post Out! Have a wonderful weekend!!

Empties Plus Products That Didn't Work* (for me)

    πŸ“· These photos by @naturalbeautymermaid

Please note: These are my thoughts and opinions and these products may work for others.


  • *L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Deep-Acting Moisturizer - I say that I was very hesitant to try this product due to a history of L'Oreal Paris Skincare products bother my skin, but for Influenster. I received this product complementary to try. Oh, the smell of this product just gags me. Well, my skin reacted very badly. My skin itched, was red, irritated, and dried out my skin.  The ingredients in this product have irritants & not cruelty-free. So, I say toss it in the trash. Not be purchasing. πŸ‘Ž
  • Little Moon Essentials Aromatherapeutic Floral Mineral Bath in "Relax" - Yes, let just relax and breathe in the aroma. This product is highly with essential oil and soothing bath soak minerals. This product is super soothing that my mind really drifted off. In fact, the jar still smells like lavender. I would repurchase πŸ‘
  • Nourish Citrus Splash Liquid Soap with olive oil + coconut oil - I love citrus scents plus in a hand soap it makes me feel my hands are all clean without dryness. I would repurchaseπŸ‘
  • EVOLVh Shampoo & Conditioner (UltraShine Moisture) - I have to say after finishing this product I think this product works nicely with my hair at this moment. Its light weight moisture doesn't weigh my fine hair. The smell isn't too strong at all it's a clean scent I feel. I like the bottle is that squeezy plastic so you can squeeze the product all out or cut it. The conditioner is nice but could be a little more of something. I would purchaseπŸ‘
  • Fitglow Beauty Good Lash Mascara - I will say this mascara is a good mascara for being natural. The brush is a natural bristle brush with a basic brush. I can do activities outside and this mascara wouldn't mess or smudge. This mascara is for more of a natural lash look. I've noticed it flaked on me out of nowhere but it was passed it expired time then it started to smell different. It still had a lot of product left in the tube even though I used it just about every day.  I would repurchaseπŸ‘
  • Brow Food Tinted Brow Enhancing Gelfix in Brunette - I got this sample size from Sephora with my purchases. You get quite a bit. This product was a little dark for me but I still tried it. It did have little brow extension things in the tube. I didn't notice any help with the growth of my brows but my brows did stay in place. Maybe repurchase in a different color.πŸ‘Œ
  • Korres Wild Rose Advanced Brightening Sleeping Facial - This is the first Korres product I have tried and it was a Sephora sample. I wouldn't recommend this product at all. My face was so so super dry after using it plus the fragrance was so strong that you about choked on it. At first, it smells really rosy but after awhile it smells like someone went crazy with baby powder. I didn't work for me at all plus it's for all skin types. It's supposed to intensely hydrate the skin, really there is so much alcohol in this product, how in the world would it hydrate at all, Korres. I will not be purchasing.πŸ‘Ž
  • Mullein & Sparrow Balancing Face Mist -  This is just a face mist not a toner to me. I didn't really care for the smell of the product. The mister was good on the bottle. Not purchase.πŸ‘Ž
  • Sunday Riley C.E.O. C+E antiOxidant Protect+Repair Moisturizer - Another first of Sunday Riley for me, I have to say not impressed. My skin didn't take a liking to it at all. Talk about a red-faced redhead, lol. but really I was! Something really aggravated my skin with this product. Really dry, red skin, pimples, etc. I would not purchase!πŸ‘Ž
  • Rahua Freestyle Texturizer Sample - Let's say I want to smell like engine oil in my hair or at least that's what my husband said to me. One the smell, not a fan. It thickened my hair but that smell, no! I had a hard time brushing my hair with this in it. I would not purchase it. πŸ‘Ž
  • Tata Harper Clarifying Mask - I wasn't anything special to me or maybe they don't give you enough for a thick layer in the sample. It was different but I didn't notice a difference in my skin. Really smells like chlorella. I would try it again maybe with more samples to try it with. πŸ‘Œ 
  • Little Moon Essentials Aromatherapeutic Mineral Bath in Beach All You Want - I have to say it didn't really smell beachy at all to me. There was aroma but more of a citrus with a little coconut. I don't know if I would repurchase this aroma but I would with othersπŸ‘Œ
  • Hubble Contacts - Yes! they work. I have some irritation to some contacts. Thank you that these work without irritation. Still using!πŸ‘‹πŸ‘


The World's Finest Dead Sea Bath Salts - YES! These have definitely helped me with sore muscles and aches. Not drying at all but more moisturizing and increase circulation. This tub is a great deal. Highly recommend. πŸ‘πŸ’—

Tanorici Product & Review*

πŸ“·Photos by @naturalbeautymermaid
*This product was sent to me to try and review. It was very nice of Tanorici to send this product to me wanting to know my thoughts and opinions on their product.




   I have to say, I did do some research on this brand Tanorici and the benefits of the ingredients. How Tanorici got their name involves the fascination they had for Ricinoleic acid. How they came up with their name "Tanorici" pronounced "Ta-na-ree-see", they used the first four letters from Ricinoleic acid and put it at the end of “Tano” and they came up with “Tanorici”. I didn't know what Ricinoleic acid was so I had to look it up. Ricinoleic acid is an omega-9 fatty acid and hydroxy acid which is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects which activates the EP3 prostanoid receptor for prostaglandin E2. That's science for you. (Remember there are synthetic types of Ricinoleic acids)

   A unique substance in Castor Oil is Ricinoleic Acid which has great skin benefits: anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and hydrating which is great for sensitive skin (For detailed scientific facts please visit www.tanoriciskincare.com). Tanorici added 100% organic avocado Oil as a moisturizer.  What was important here is that Tanorici came up with a ratio of the two oils (of course they did not reveal this ratio) (Note: Ratio pertaining to consistency/thickness to maintain the right proportion for the intended results.) I was totally on board for a product that would reduce or avoid inflammation because of my sensitive skin.




 

    My thoughts and opinion of this product are I love it! I'm so thankful for πŸ’™Tanorici reaching out to me. I wouldn't know about this product until later down the road.
More about this product, Okay as you know this product is an anti-inflammatory so I use this after I use a product that could cause acne or could irritate my skin like an AHA / BHA.  I tried this product after I used a strong acid like product on my face to challenge Tanorici to see if I will be irritated or have dry skin and here are the results>>>>. I used the acid like product and then Tanorici and what do you know, my skin wasn't red or irritated but instead soft and smooth.  I also like to use this as a base or primer before my makeup.  When you use it at first you feel the thickness of it then it gets absorbed in the skin very nicely. ( if you used castor oil before, you know this)
I have no irritation since using this product. The product presentation is simple but classic with glass blue bottle with dropper.

                 50mL/1.69fl.oz. for  $50.00

*Please note that I got some of my information/research from the Tanorici website & naked chemist website.
