CANADA Refresh Skin Therapy Products Review




I absolutely love all of the Refresh skin therapy line!

The Fruit Acid 15% Gel Peel is a professional-grade exfoliator made from of Glycolic, Lactic, Kojic, and Pyruvic Acid.  It erases fine lines, dark spots and improves skin’s texture and tone while revealing noticeably smoother, healthier skin.  After using this product, skin is noticeable brighter and complexion is more even-toned after first application.  It also shrinks pores and balances oil production across combination skin.

The Lactic Acid 10% Gel Peel is more aimed for people that have sensitive skin.  
Our gentlest exfoliator removes dead and damaged skin cells without irritation. Lactic acid speeds skin cell renewal and improves skin’s ability to retain moisture.  I found this product to be great for my skin.  It was very gentle on my skin and made my skin feel awesome after.  It seemed softer and brighter!

I absolutely LOVE the Salicylic Acid peel.  I have large pores and am always fighting with ways to shrink them and improve the look of my skin texture!  I was hoping to see results with this product!  I anxiously awaited this product!

Salicylic Acid 2% Daily Peel was a great choice for me!  It claims to fights acne and signs of ageing: shrinks pores, decreases excess oil production, improves skin’s texture and tone, decreases fine lines, and repairs photo-damaged skin. The main ingredient, Salicylic acid, kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness and irritation, speeds new skin turnover and collagen production for a brighter, more luminous, and clearer complexion. 


I used the product the first night it arrived and I felt and saw a difference right away!  It definitely helped with my large pores and excess dirt/oil caused by this.  I definitely needed a good moisterizer after using it, but it did not cause me any problems (and I have slightly sensitive skin and sometimes have had reactions to harsh products!)  I used it regularly a few times a week.  I did not want to use it every night for fear of drying out my skin too much (being winter doesn't help!)  I found that my pores seemed smaller, less oily skin, and better skin texture and tone.  I also have not had any breakouts since using it (I usually only get a few pimples here and there!)


I have also tried the Hyaluronic Pure Moisturizing Cream (Post-peel Repair and Restore) Enhanced with Squalane and Botanical Extracts.  This is a very thick cream that goes a LONG way.  It instantly moisturizes and lasts all day long! I felt that it worked awesome after using any harsh treatments!


Overall, I definitely recommend these products.  The brand seems to be a very high quality product which delivers what it promises.

All Natural Soap Review

Soap.club


     I was so excited to try out this soap.  The scents sounded wonderful! This stuff sounds amazing and high quality! The soap boasts that it is a premium quality soap which is aged up to 6 weeks and made fresh with only pure ingredients. The secret to this soap is their old-fashioned cold process soap making. Every product is made by hand, starting from stirring the recipe, cutting the bars and even packaging each individual item!  Wow!  That is awesome!  I immediately tried my bar of soap and was hooked.  It was very moisturizing (which bar soap usually isn't) and left my skin feeling amazing (none of that weird leftover residue!)  The scent was mild but lasting!

     The cold process method of making soap helps enhance the fragrance. Many of the essential oils and fragrances provide the same properties used in aromatherapy and wellness programs. 

     The soaps are very gentle and moisturizing; they also help provide nutrients to aged skin and is suitable for all skin types.  Olive oil is also used in every bar of soap which helps reduce brown spots & scars, minimize wrinkles and penetrates deep into your skin leaving it healthier and firmer. These soap does not contain harsh chemicals, preservatives, artificial color or detergent.

     Besides being an awesome bar of soap, The Soap.Club offers our customers the ability to purchase our amazing soap online or join our monthly membership service.

They have many amazing scents to choose from such as:
-Fresh Aloe Vera - Cool & refreshing, Aloe Vera is captured perfectly in this gently-fragranced, creamy soap. Bursting with vitamins and healing properties, Aloe Vera hydrates and rejuvenates all skin types, also aiding a multitude of skin disorders.
-Lavender Lull - The enchanting aroma and potent herbal notes of lavender have made this soothing oil famous worldwide. Capturing the relaxing, replenishing elements of natural lavender, is an undisputed favorite.
-Plumeria Island Escape - Invoking exotic imagery with its tropical fruit notes, Island Escape is fragranced with natural Frangipani. Let the heady scent of Plumeria transport you to a faraway oasis.
-Sea Breeze - Like the gentle freshness of ocean spray, Sea Breeze natural soap is invigorating & renewing, sloughing away dead skin cells to reveal brighter, healthier skin beneath. Infused with fresh water scents & exfoliating sea salt for true sensory stimulation.
-Spearmint Basil - Heady & uplifting, our Spearmint Spice soap has a fantastic fragrance that combines the freshness of spearmint with the spicy warmth of basil. Uniquely unisex, Spearmint Spice is naturally exfoliating & deeply moisturizing for clean, replenished skin.

Each serving contains an industry leading 1,500 total mg of omega-3 fatty acids with 800 mg of EPA and 600 mg of DHA. Taking a daily fish oil supplement dramatically improves health in a variety of ways including improving immunity, cardiovascular health, circulation and brain function and lowering bad cholesterol levels.

This brand purports the following amazing claims:

-No aftertaste
-Specially designed to be easy to swallow

      I was looking forward to trying this formula!  I have taken many fish oil supplements in the past and always like the soft gel tabs the best and the no fishy aftertaste!  I was hoping this one would pass my tests!

     The soft gels were the perfect size for easy swallowing!  Only two were needed for a serving (I have seen some brands being 3-5 at a time! No THANKS!)  And they definitely had NO aftertaste whatsoever!  I always find I notice a difference in my hair and skin when I am getting enough healthy fats and I noticed within a week of taking this supplement regularly that my hair felt so much healthier!  Definitely recommend this brand!

180 Cosmetics Breast Firming Solution

180 Cosmetics Breast Firming Solution Review




 I was excited to receive this product and see if it could live up to it's claims. As a mother of two and in my 30s, I definitely could use some firming ANYWHERE :)

This revolutionary breast cream claims that it is clinically proven to:
- increase volume
-firm
-reconstruct
-boost elasticity
-tone the skin
I was excited to see which of these I would see!

 The product is said to be "Bursting with natural oils, plant extracts, and vitamins, it also promotes hydration, stimulates cellular regeneration, and contains powerful antioxidants that protect your skin from free radicals and keep it toxin-free." 180 Cosmetics believes in creating solutions that help maintain and restore your youth, beauty, and femininity, so you can feel confident all over, every day. All of their advanced formulas contain the highest-quality nourishing oils and natural extracts, and are never tested on animals.

 The directions for this product were very simple: Apply twice daily, massaging over entire breasts in circular motions until fully absorbed. For optimal results, use for a minimum of 60 days.

 The product is formulated WITHOUT any of the following: Formalin, Formaldehyde, Parabens, Phthalates, Petro-chemicals, GMO, Hormones, Triclosan, colors or dyes.

 I used it for about a month usually twice a day. I noticed a definite difference in the tone of my skin. It is hard to tell if the skin is any firmer yet but it definitely felt better! It was easy to apply and had a good scent. I always hate when products smell strongly of very chemically I definitely would continue to use it to try and see any more benefits!

Ice Ball Maker & Sphere Ice Mold by Bar Brat




     In addition to their first two wine products (wine chiller and wine aerator) (WHICH I LOVED!!), Bar Brat has done it again with their third product, the Ice Ball Maker.  Their ice ball maker is a super easy silicone mold that creates spherical 4.5 cm ice ball. Each mold creates 4 ice balls.  It is as simple as filling with water and placing in the freezer! 

     I absolutely loved how easy this was to use!   It worked perfect every time!  The instructions are very easy to follow, and it is even dishwasher safe!  The ice balls are the perfect size and look fabulous in a glass!  

     This is the perfect gift for anyone who loves a good cocktail.  On top of that, it is reasonable priced!  Purchase it on amazon.com or amazon.ca
