I just wanted to send a brief Happy Valentine’s Day message to all my readers! I was originally going to post a really cool e-card on this blog but I couldn’t find one that I could just copy and paste, but this cute clip-art letter works great instead.

Don’t forget to check out my new website Crazy Amazing Deal Blog for fantastic sales, freebies, cool buys, and more.

It’s now February 2012 and a lot has happened since I first started my Shop In Chic blog back in February 2008. The whole reason I started this blog was because I wanted to make a webzine/magazine about fashion and I thought that a blog would be close enough to that dream. Today, I’ve sorta abandoned my blog and that really makes me a little sad. In the last two years I’ve had so much going on in my life, mostly personal stuff I don’t really want to talk about, that it was kind of easy to forget about my dreams. I would also remind myself over and over again that I would eventually get back to my regular blogging habits but as soon as I would get the energy to start the revival process, something would happen to disrupt my success.

This time, I’m really going to make an effort to change all that. I love blogging, it gives me real energy and a lot of joy. I’d also like to make some money with it, but that is not the whole reason I blog.

Starting today, I’m going to put more of my energy and time into my blog. I’m going to use Shop In Chic to write about fashion, beauty, celebrity style, shopping, and fitness. I’m also going to use this blog to share my progress as a blogger in hopes that this will motivate me more.

So, please keep reading Shop In Chic and enjoy! If you have any questions or you’d just like to connect, look below.

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.
