Dermadeli Pumpkin Seed Serum + Special Holiday Giveaway!

  

Looking to hydrate, clear, and soothe your skin this dry winter season? Dermadeli Pumpkin Seed Serum does all that and more; it’s the signature product that started it all for the brand, of course featuring certified organic Pumpkin seed oil, along with Zinc and Pomegranate seed oil. This incredible main ingredient has a ton of great benefits, including immediate hydration, acne treatment & prevention, firming, anti-aging, calming of inflammation, reducing redness, and combating oiliness. Better yet, it absorbs fast with zero oil residue; just plump, soft, and soothed skin!

Right away, you can sense the pumpkin seed oil in the natural light orange-brown hue and nutty, earthy scent in the serum. The serum has an oily consistency, but testing a few drops showed how it settles into skin nicely, leaving no greasy or tacky feel.

My skin is immediately super soft to the touch, like a baby’s skin, and it feels amazing! I frequently fight acne flare ups, especially around my cheeks, so this great first impression had me excitedly looking forward to seeing what it could do for me over time.

One Month Later

This serum has now been a part of my daily skincare routine for over a month, and the results have been fantastic! I absolutely love how soft and plump it makes my skin feel on a daily basis, but over time it’s also been really successful at preventing pesky acne breakouts, keeping my skin a lot calmer and clearer.

The Pumpkin Seed Serum is highly versatile, too! While it’s obviously great for the face, I’ve also been trying out putting a drop or two on my lips each day, then watching and feeling them transform from painful and cracked to smooth, hydrated and soothed. 

Another thing I've found is that it works great around the nails as well, especially now that it's the dry season when I get the worst hangnails. These are just a few of the many different ways to use this product, so I highly recommend giving it a shot and finding out how it can work for your skin!

Dermadeli Invigorating Vitamin C Serum


Superfoods aren’t just good for your body, they’re great for your skin, too! I am happy to share my full experience with Dermadeli’s Invigorating Vitamin C Serum after a little over a month of use. Dermadeli kindly gifted me this excellent product that’s packed with natural antioxidants to repair damage and reverse the effects of aging.


A potent 20% concentration of ingredients like Pomegranate Seed Oil, Orange and Lemon Juice Extracts can help reduce sun damage, boost elasticity, and help improve wrinkles! I thought this would be the perfect addition to my summer skincare routine and counteract all of the extra sun exposure. Per the recommended 3-4x weekly usage, I began by implementing this serum into my routine every other day and was looking forward to the results, especially how much it can reduce my fine lines, such as the ones on my forehead and smile lines.


It’s best kept refrigerated, not only for the incredible cooling sensation but for extending the shelf life and boosting the antioxidant power as well. Right out of my mini-fridge, I always give the bottle a couple of shakes to properly mix it, then apply it after cleansing and toning. I really enjoy the glass bottle and hygienic dropper to control the exact amount according to what I need.


The pale yellow, watery-textured formula soaks right in as soon as it’s dispensed and smells tasty with a soft citrusy scent. While I can feel a little bit of tackiness right after, it vanishes as I move forward with the rest of my routine. Right away, I loved the lightweight feel, smoother, tighter skin and luminous glow it gives me, plus I’ve had no irritation or reactions and actually have had a reduction in redness! After just a few days, I was already thrilled with the results and couldn’t wait to see what more it had in store.


I find myself reaching for this serum at least every other day, and sometimes even more frequently if I feel my skin needs it. The texture of this serum has a very light, watery feel and my skin just drinks it up straight away. As I mentioned last time, it has just the tiniest bit tackiness, but that vanishes once you move on with the rest of your skincare routine.


Now, after a whole month of use, I’ve seen an improvement on the little sun spots around my face, now brighter and not as noticeable. Another small improvement has been smaller indentation of my smile lines, and most importantly the horrendous forehead line is less prominent. Plus, I’m happy to see a reduction in pore size as my skin is tauter and feels overall more firm. In skincare terms, a month isn’t really that long, but I’m already seeing great results! I really can’t recommend this serum enough, so be sure to check it out!

Rituals... The Ritual of Karma! A mindful Spa experience!

 

Enrich your home and life with Rituals, a luxurious lifestyle brand with a focus on ancient eastern traditions. As stated on the product labels, “According to ancient Hindu belief, living with good intent attracts good karma. Do good, and good will come your way.” The brand started in 2000 in the Netherlands, and has since expanded to a line of over 400 home and body products with hundreds of stores worldwide.

As of September 15th, they’ve also launched on Sephora.com, increasing their footprint in the United States. Rituals also prides itself on using clean, safe ingredients, reducing waste in packaging designs, and giving back to communities in need through their Tiny Miracles, Goodie Bag, and Soul School programs (read more here).

The Karma collection helps immerse your home and your soul in positive energy and mindful intention that can transform everyday routines. Included in the Ritual of Karma set are the Cleanse Your Mind & Body scrub, Spread the Kindness body cream, and Full of Kindness shower foam. The two key ingredients shared among this entire collection are holy lotus and white tea, the former of which provides restoration, soothes inflammation, combats aging, and is an antioxidant. White tea, grown throughout southeast Asia, contributes a fresh scent that can enhance the senses.

First and foremost, the foaming shower gel is a simple yet extremely refreshing and enjoyable part of the collection. The most notable thing about this gel is that with exposure to water, it transforms instantly into a thick, nourishing foam. After a wash, it had my skin feeling clean, incredibly soft, and faintly smelling of the signature flowery white tea.

The scent is in no way overwhelming, and even provides a sort of aromatherapy quality while using it in the shower for a luxurious, mindful experience. The gel is very dense and lathers up generously, so it doesn’t take much to get a complete wash. The pressurized bottle dispenses it super quickly, so be careful not to get more than you need!

The body scrub not only smells amazing, but leaves my skin noticeably softer even after one use as well! The scrub has noticeably large sugar granules that work to gently exfoliate your skin. I love to use this prior to shaving my legs to remove any dirt and dead skin cells which in turn helps me achieve a closer shave!

It spreads easily with a gritty texture, but the skin is also soothed by the accompanying nourishing liquid from some amazing ingredients like natural oils, holy lotus and jojoba. 

It’s easy to rinse off and doesn’t cling to your skin or leave any remnants behind. The scent is neither overpowering nor underwhelming, but instead just the right amount to leave your skin freshly scented after use, I would describe it as a sweet, floral scent. I love this scrub and see this being a perfect addition to my routine for the dry winter months and rough skin that are ahead.

Finally, the Spread the Kindness body cream comes as a perfect companion to the scrub and shower gel by providing additional moisture, nourishment, and faint white tea scent to your skin on a daily basis. I’ve found that it spreads very easily and absorbs quickly, without leaving any oiliness or residue behind, and my skin feels silky smooth right away after application. 

However, my favorite part of all about this body cream might be the smart, innovative packaging! Inside the gorgeous jar, there is an insert holding the cream that allows for refills to reduce packaging waste. This really speaks to Rituals’ sustainability efforts, and I’d be thrilled to see them expand their refillable offerings even further. Hopefully it becomes an industry trend!

Overall, I think the Ritual of Karma collection is an excellent addition to my daily routine, and the great packaging, feeling, and scent of the products all combine to really embody a calming, luxurious, at-home spa day experience. I’m excited to try out some of their other offerings, especially their home products and fragrances. Even my boyfriend is interested in their men’s line now, too! I’m really impressed by the affordability as well, as I would’ve expected everything to be much more expensive considering both the luxe appearance and high quality. 

Beyond the excellent products themselves, I also can’t say enough about how great it is to see a brand so committed to environmentally friendly practices and giving back to the communities from which they take their inspiration. I highly recommend browsing their website and Sephora’s to check out everything I’ve reviewed here and more.

StriVectin Full Screen SPF 30 100% Mineral Vanishing Tint


Fight back against time with StriVectin’s targeted approach to skincare for aging and changing skin. They have created their very own game-changing molecule named NIA-114™ that was thoroughly tested and has been scientifically verified to build up the skin barrier and enhance other ingredients for healthier, more youthful skin. It’s also important to note that this molecule is exclusively found in StriVectin products.


I have very fair skin and I burn easily, so to protect myself I apply SPF everyday. In fact, you should always apply sunscreen no matter the rain, sun, or snow, since any incidental sun exposure causes premature aging, pigmentation and other things we want to avoid.


I was happy to introduce StriVectin Full Screen SPF 30 100% Mineral Vanishing Tint to my routine whether it was a full makeup day, or with nothing else at all. Not is the formula a daily defense against UVA/UVB, blue light and pollution, but furthermore it provides nourishing Vitamins A, B, C and Pro-Vitamin D to keep your skin healthy. More ingredients included are Argan Oil and Licorice Root Extract to brighten and hydrate your skin.


Immediately out of the tube the formula looks a bit like cappuccino color, but just like the name implies, it vanishes by blending easily into the skin with no pesky white cast. The texture dries matte and made for a great base to continue on with my makeup routine. It’s not scent free, but has a slightly spicy, sweet and earthy scent which I think must be from the Licorice Root, Althaea and Argan Oil, all of which are undetectable after applied to the face.


As far as price point goes, I think at $39.00 it’s highly reasonable, considering my other favorite face SPF brand is Coola. When comparing it to Coola’s Mineral Face Organic Matte Tint SPF 30, the price is only about $5 per ounce more. However, I think the higher quality ingredients are worth the extra five bucks.


Just like with any sunscreen, it is recommended to reapply about every two hours and immediately if you’re excessively sweating or after swimming. Remember if you only do one thing for your skin, always apply a SPF even if you’re not going to be outside for long periods of time, and StriVectin Full Screen SPF 30 100% Mineral Vanishing Tint is a great product to fulfill that crucial part of your routine.
