3 Reviva Labs Product Reviews

I love cosmetics just as much as the next girl, but I always seem to gravitate towards natural and organic skincare products. Maybe this is why I am raving about three fabulous products from Reviva Labs!

My first review for Reviva, was actually a very brief blog post I did nearly a year ago for Shop In Chic. I was talking about why I used Reviva Labs Under-Eye Dark Circle Serum.

1- Reviva Labs Organic Cleansing Milk Natural is the best choice but organic is almost always better. The Reviva Labs Organic Cleansing Milk is good for your skin as it was enriched with Steam Distilled Water; Certified Organic Floral Waters of Lavender and Red Raspberry;Certified Organic Herbs including Angelica, Chamomille, Ginger, Hibiscus, and Thyme; and Certified Organic Aloe Vera. This cleanser is true to its name as it has a milky texture. Its also got a vague but nice floral scent. This cleanser is great as it goes deep for a thorough cleanse. $9.50 at Ulta

2- Reviva Labs Non-Chemical Light Skin Peel Not all exfoliant scrubs are harsh, this one certainly isn’t. Reviva Labs Non-Chemical Light Skin Peel looks, smells, and feels just like any other all natural scrub with its somewhat grainy texture. Whats great about this facial scrub is that a little bit goes a long way. Just apply this scrub to your face and leave it on for five minutes. You will know when it’s ready because it feels slightly tight on your skin. Remove with water to reveal radiant looking skin. According to the label you can apply this once a week.

3- Reviva Labs Makeup Primer Makeup and cosmetics last longer with a quality primer and this one certainly loves up to expectations. The bottle looks similar to the one for Dark Eye Circle Serum but its indeed a different skincare product. You can use this to prep your skin before a makeup application or you can wear it alone. I personally like the way this gives my normally parched skin a dewy glow, so its no wonder that I like to wear this without makeup.

What I really love about Reviva Labs skincare products are naturally good and they never test their products on animals. You can buy all the products feature features at the Reviva Labs online store.

B is for Beading

There is no way to underestimate the power of beautiful baubles, especially those pieces with exquisite beads. All it takes is a simple beaded necklace or bracelet to turn an outfit from boring to wow. Here are some of my favorite beaded jewelry pieces.

Getting Fresh With Marc Jacobs

One of my most favorite designer fragrances is Marc Jacobs Daisy. What can I say? I am a sucker for equisitely femme fragrances with notes of violet, strawberry, gardenia, ruby red grapefruit, musk, jasmine, white woods, and of course daisy! But his latest fragrance for her, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, takes those simple floral notes and intensifies it. This fragrance is like a symphony of raspberry, violet, wild rose, plum, cedarwood, grapefruit, pear, and apple blossom. Even the bottle was given a fresh makeover with a slimmer bottle and a cap that was cover with colorful daisies.

This fragrance is perfect for: lazy summer weekends and romantic nights frolicking about the town.

You can purchase Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh at Sephora for $70.00 and Marc Jacobs Daisy for $60.00

A is for Abstract

Why choose just one color when you could have a multitude of shades to create something beautiful? Abstract prints have really caught on this season since they blend the uniqueness of modern art with a bit of youth rebellion. Who’s mother or grandmother would ever wear such funky designs? Didn’t think so!
