Product Review: Angel Minaro with Angela George

I had the wonderful opportunity to do a product review with Angela George who is an Angel Minaro Consultant. 

I had never heard of it until she came along! I'm sure glad I met her! 

Within just a matter of days, Angela sent me a neat little set to review! All wrapped up was Ultra Nourishing & Firming Body Lotion in Romance, Argan & tomato seed hair repair & scalp serum and Acai & Honey microdermabrasion creme.

I couldn't wait to give these unique products a try!

The first one I tried out was the lotion.

First of all, I Love that it has a pump! When I'm in a hurry and just need some on the go, its super quick to access! I also Love the scent!

This lotion is rich in skin loving ingredients like the ultra nourishing argan oil, shea butter, silk proteins, and exotic fruit extracts which condition and leave your skin moisturized, hydrated and firm, yet supple!

The next thing I tried out was the Argan & Tomato Seed Hair Repair & Scalp Serum.

This hair serum is a blend of highly moisturizing Moroccan argan, brazil nut and tomato seed oils rich in vitamins A, B, C and E, antioxidants, amino acids and iron which are needed for healthy hair and scalp! 

When I tried out this amazing product, my hair was SO shiny and silky soft! 

Lastly I tried the Acai & Honey Microdermabrasion Creme

I was really super excited to get a chance to try out a Microdermabrasion Creme! I've been hearing so much about them and I've been dying to try one out!

First of all, it smells amazing! 

It has tiny microdermabrasion crystals that exfoliates your skin and leaves it super soft!

Angel Minaro has tons of amazing products that I'd love to try!

Want to know more about their products or contact the consultant?

Arbonne Product Review

Several weeks ago I was sent some wonderful products to review by Christa, Arbonne Independent Consultant. To be honest with you, I'd never heard of Arbonne till she came along! 

When she asked me to do a product review for her I was SO excited! I received my samples in the mail just days later! I was excited to find that she had sent me samples of the RE9 Advanced Facial Care!

If its one thing I struggle with, its keeping my face clear! I have such a hard time with oily skin! Its hard to find products that will work!

This skin care system has 5 steps:

1. Smoothing Facial Cleanser

provides effective smoothing and renewing of skin surface for soft, supply skin

2. Regenerating Toner

antioxidant rich, ph balanced mist with vitamins A, C and E regenerates skin tone and firmness to deliver younger looking skin

3. Intensive Renewal Serum

a powerful blend of clinically proven, collagen supporting ingredients that firms and lifts skin while diminishing the appearance of fine lines

4. Corrective Eye Cream

exclusive blend supports collagen, reducing puffiness and diminishing dark circles

5. (day) Restorative Day Creme SPF 20

high concentrations of advanced moisture enhancing ingredients support collagen and protect and restore skin's youthful appearance

5. (night) Night Repair Creme

ultra-hydrating blend of botanicals and concentrated vitamin C supports collagen and helps repair skin to restore a youthful appearance

I was very excited to give this system a try! 

After just the first day I could feel a difference! Just the facial cleanser and toner's themselves left my skin feeling SO soft and smooth! I could tell such a big difference in the feel of my skin!
