Irsan Natural Creams Review

Irsan Natural Creams Review

I recently got the opportunity to try out some of the products from Irsan. This is a company specializing in natural creams made from Italian ingredients. The products available range greatly so I was able to try out a little bit of everything. In this post I will be including my favorites and may end up doing another post in the future on the Traumyl Line after I get some more use out of the products so look for that!

Relaxing Massage Oil for Calm and Relaxation, 5.07 oz.


The first products I tried were the massaging oils. These oils are available in three different formulas; relaxing, energizing and stress relief. I really like the relaxing formula but all of the formulas have an amazing scent to them. The consistency of these products is very nice and the product absorbs nicely. I recommend giving these a try if you are looking for a massage oil that is comparable to one that they use in a spa for at home use!
RIDUCEL BELLY AND BUTTOCKS TREATMENT
Next up is the Riducel Belly and Buttock cream which is said to be great for skin elasticity. I think every woman would love a cream that could firm up their upper thigh area so I knew I needed to give this a try. I put this product on for the first time while doing my normal body skin care routine and I really liked the formula and consistency of it. Once again the scent of the product was very nice and light which I really look for in skin care products. After application there was a light tingle but the cream absorbed very quickly and there was no thick or sticky feeling. I plan to continue to use this product and I am hoping to see results very soon! 

Riducel Natural Body Scrub with Pineapple, Lemon, Cinnamon & Rosemary, 200 mL

I also really enjoyed the body scrub from the Riducel line. I love trying new body scrubs as I really try to exfoliate my body on a weekly basis. I am always looking for a nice texture that isn't too abrasive but at the same time actually gets the job done. This product was a winner in my book! The formula seemed to be the perfect texture and the scent was amazing! This is a pineapple, lemon, cinnamon and rosemary scrub which I LOVED! Once again the scent was light but definitely enjoyable. I would recommend this to anyone who uses a body scrub regularly!

RIDUCEL  CREAM, Best Firming Cream, Skin Tightening Cream, Natural Skin Tightening Treatment
Finally, my favorite product so far from Irsan is the Riducel Cream. This is a firming, tightening cream that can be applied all over to fight against imperfections. I personally applied this cream as my all over moisturizer after showering and my skin felt amazing! I tend to have extremely dry hands from washing my hands so many times at work so a rich hand cream is essential for me. While applying this to my body and using the remainder on my hands I got great results! The formula is a great consistency and once again has a nice light scent. This one is a must try!

Ogx Kukui Oil Review

Ogx Kukui Oil Review

This is an anti-frizz hydrating oil made from a blend of kukui nut oil. The packaging says kukui nut oil is an ancient Hawaiian secret used for it's humidity resistant abilities, creating a shimmering gloss to smooth texture and repel humidity. This product follows through on everything the packaging promises. I simply love this product! 

I use this product everyday on both wet and dry hair. I normally spray it on my wet hair before brushing through it along with my detangler and Argan Magic products. It has an amazing, light scent to it that lasts for hours. I find it really helps add shine to my hair and reduce frizz. I also spritz the product on my hair in the morning once it has dried just to add even more shine. Recently I have also been spraying the product onto my hands and smoothing down baby hairs around my part. It is really an all around awesome product. 

I am always looking for a new anti-frizz product as I feel like it is essential for my thick, wavy hair. So I figured I should give this a try as I really love my other Ogx products. I purchased this at Target on sale for less than five dollars. The product is available at Ulta for $7.99.

This product would work well for anyone looking to reduce frizz and add shine to their hair! It would be great for any hair type and really just adds to any hair care routine.

Argan Magic Review

Argan Magic Review 

Before we get into the review for today I just want to give you guys a little more background on my hair. I have always had very thick hair. I generally keep it quite long but recently cut it to below my shoulder. My hair is naturally quite wavy and I always use this to my advantage. I never heat style my hair which keeps it in great condition with very rare breakage or split ends. By never I mean I have heat styled my hair once in the past year! I love the ease of just putting some product in and just letting my hair air dry. After I shower I always put some type of product in my hair, usually a curl/wave enhancer. Depending on my mood I will braid my hair and let it dry over night for a more defined wave. Okay now that we got that out of the way; into the review!


I got these product around Christmas time and have used them quite often since! I sometimes use them in conjunction to one another or on their own depending on the look I'm going for. When I am styling my hair with the intention of wearing my hair down I will use the Defining Curl Cream to give my hair the wave I am looking for. It does not make my hair feel greasy or crunchy in any way. The product is supposed to enhance waves & curls while adding definition and condition, detangle & reduce frizz. This product does all of those things! I will put this in before I even brush my hair just to make it a little easier. 

I use the Split Endz Repair Cream anytime I am styling my hair with the intention of simply putting it up for work the next day. The product is supposed to seal and repair split ends and control frizz and static. Once again this product does all those things! The does not feel thick or greasy once applied. I have noticed an even softer texture after using this product for several months now. It feels like it does its job which I love! 

I purchased mine at Marshalls! I got the Defining Curl Cream for $9.99 and the Split Endz Repair Cream for $7.99. I was not able to find a website that specifically sells Argan Magic products but they are available on Amazon!

I recommend these products to anyone looking to test out a new hair care line! These a great products available at affordable prices. The repair cream would be great for any hair type while the curl cream would most likely work best for hair with a wave already.

Garnier Skin Renew Eye Rollers

Garnier Skin Renew Eye Rollers Review


I have both the Anti-Dark Circle eye roller and the Ultra-Lift Anti Wrinkle eye roller Garnier eye rollers. I have had the Anti-Dark Circle roller for over a year and repurchased it. It is great to put on under concealer during your makeup routine. The color is extremely sheer but skin toned and blend-able. The Ultra-Lift Anti Wrinkle I have been consistently using for about four months. The super light and dries really well. I did not purchase it specifically for the Anti Wrinkle properties but simply the moisturizing effects it has. This one I apply before bed and in the morning when I apply moisturizer and lip balm. 

I purchased both of the Anti-Dark Circle rollers at Target for under $13.00. The Anti-Wrinkle roller I actually got for $9.99 at Marshall's. These are really great products that last for a long time. I use these on an everyday basis and have only had to repurchase the Anti-Dark Circle roller once! For the price I definitely believe you get a great product payout. The Ultra-Lift Anti-Wrinkle roller actually contains pro-retinal which is really great for wrinkle prevention.

I would highly recommend these products to anyone looking for an under eye product that is not too heavy. I love that I can just roll these on and they dry within minutes versus a gel or cream. These rollers have definitely changed my everyday skincare/makeup routine for good.


My Favorite Hair Ties!

The Only Hair Ties I Use Review

About six years ago I used the scunci no slip grip hair ties for the first time. After giving these a try for the first time I have not purchased other hair ties again! I have extremely thick, wavy hair so keeping it up requires a strong hair tie! These hair ties are a stretchy, elastic material that is described as a "no slip grip" and gentle on hair. Those descriptors are spot on! 

I can use one of these hair ties to keep my hair up for hours versus the two I have to use with other hair ties. They last forever and rarely snap like other hair ties. They are gentle in that they do not pull hair out when you remove them.

I have always purchased these at Walmart or Target. They are available for here for less than five dollar. 

Give these a try ladies! I highly recommend these to everyone and especially girls with thick hair! 

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes Review

Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes Review

I am always looking to try new products to figure out what works best for me. This is especially true for skin care products! I have semi-sensitive skin and some things work for me and others don't. I always like to have makeup remover wipes on hand to help me really get off all my makeup.

I recently picked these wipes up at Target as I was running low on the wipes that I had at the time. They are available anywhere drugstore products are sold. I purchased the thirty pack for $5.99.

The product is hypoallergenic with a light cucumber scent (which I love)! These wipes do their job by easily removing makeup without having to really rub and irritate your skin. They even easily remove eye makeup which is plus for me.

Overall, I would recommend these wipes as they do their job well and have a lovely scent! The price is not amazing for the quantity but the quality exceeds that of comparable products. Target's Up&up brand has a comparable product that I also would recommend!
