A Trio of Body Merry Products

Have you heard of Body Merry skincare products before? They offer natural skincare products that are affordable for any budget. None of Body Merry's products are tested on animals and are made in the USA. I recently had the pleasure to sample a trio of Body Merry products: Stretch Marks & Scars, Celullite Defense and Eye Gel.

I'm in my 50's and have to admit that I do have some spots of cellulite and a few dimples on my thigh areas. I guess it happens even though we ladies hate to admit it sometimes. The Body Merry Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream is just what it says. It's a gel/cream substance which is very lightweight and to me smells like a combination of menthol, green tea and lime, with some spicy cayenne.

Below is a full list of ingredients for the Body Merry Cellulite Defense Gel/Cream:

Organic Herbal Infusion,  Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Sodium Stearate, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Cocos Nucifera (Coconut Oil), Caffeine, Cetyl Alcohol, Menthol, Algae Extract, Camellia Oleifera (Japanese Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Green Tea Lime Fragrance, Organic Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond Oil), Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Retinol, Macrocystis Pyrifera (Kelp), Palmaria Palmata (Dulse), Wildcrafted Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail), Organic Capsicum Annuum var Aannuum (Cayenne), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot Kernel Oil), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexyl Glycerin.

To use I apply a thin layer on my thighs and on some of the lumpy areas. By the way, the scent doesn't last but dissipates after it absorbs into your skin. After I smoothed it on my skin I started to feel a warming and tingling sensation. It's makes you feel like the cream is working on your skin. Since I've been using it I already have noticed a slight firmness in my thigh skin area where I've been using it. I'm not expecting miracles but would have to say so far so good!

Do you have any scars or stretch marks?  As we all know, the years go by and your body changes. Whether it's from giving birth, weight gain or loss, or scars from whatever. I have a few small scars from small wounds over the years, but thankfully do not have any stretch marks (that I can see anyways). It's nice to find a product to help out with these problems, such as the Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Cream.

When I opened the jar of cream,  I naturally smelled it to see what it was like. It has a nice fragrance and I could really detect the organic cocoa butter which is very appealing to me.

 Here is a full list of the ingredients for the Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scar Cream:

Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe Barbadensis (Organic Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice, Glyceryl Stearate (Plant Derived), Cetearyl Alcohol (Plant Derived), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil, Organic Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa Butter), Organic Ricinus Communis (Castor Seed Oil), Stearic Acid (Plant Derived), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil,  Globularia Cordifolia Callus Culture Extract (Plant Stem Cells), Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin,  Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Rubus Ideaus (Raspberry Seed Oil), Persea Gratissima (Avocado Oil), Vitis Vinifera (Grapeseed Oil), Organic Cannabis Sativus (Hempseed Oil), Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Wildcrafted Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), Algae Extract, Camellia Oleifera (Japanese Green Tea) Leaf Extract, Isopropyl Palmitate (Palm Oil), Decyl Glucoside (Plant Derived),  Glyceryl Caprylate (Natural Preservative), Sodium Carbomer, Sodium Hydroxide (pH Modifier), Tocopherol (Antioxidant), Citrus Grandis (Grapefruit Seed Extract), Ethylhexylglycerin (Preservative), Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Extract (Natural Preservative).

I use Body Merry Stretch Marks & Scars Cream as an all over body cream and love how it makes my skin feel moisturized and smooth after using it. I've been using it at nighttime for a few nights now before I go to bed. I can tell my skin isn't as dry as it was before which is a big plus. I've been using it on a small scar that I have but it's kind of early to see any results as yet, since it's only been a couple of days. With continued use I'm looking for more results.

As I've gotten older, my eyes tend to have dark circles under them from whatever reason. I think allergies play a big part in it.  I'm always using makeup to cover up the dark areas. I also want to try to keep my skin from getting those pesky fine lines. Body Merry's Eye Gel comes in a nice size pump container which is easy to dispense and get the right size amount to apply. This product is great in that it contains so many effective ingredients such as Vitamin C, Matrixyl 3000, Hyaluronic Acid, MSM, Peptides, Plant Stem Cells, Silk Proteins, and Vitamin E. These are known to help diminish dark circles, fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and bags.

Below is the full list of ingredients for the Body Merry Eye Gel:

Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber Hydrosol), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Triepeptide-3, GlobulariaCordifolia Callus Culture Extract (Plant Stem Cells), Silk Protein Amino Acid Blend (Sodium L-Pyrrolidone Carboxylate, Sodium Lactate, L’Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Pyrrolidonecarboxylic Acid, Glycine, L-Alanine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Proline, L-threonine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Phenylalanine), d-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, (2s)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic Acid, Wildcrafted Vinca Major (Periwinkle), Organic Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice), Wildcrafted Euphrasia Officinalis (Eyebright), Organic Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose Oil), Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry Seed Oil), Organic Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola), Wildcrafted Equisetum Arvense (Horsetail), Wildcrafted Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion), Wildcrafted Geranium Maculatum (Wild Geranium), Butylene Glycol, Carbomer,  Polysorbate 20, Ethylhexyl Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol.

I've been using the eye gel for a few days in the morning at at night after cleansing my skin. I gently pat it under my eye skin area with my ring finger, making sure to avoid my eye area. It has a nice fresh scent and dries without leaving a sticky feeling. It has a cooling effect on my skin and is nice and soothing. My skin already looks a bit brighter and feels more hydrated. So far I'm liking the eye gel and look forward to more great results.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the skincare products I received from Body Merry. They have great customer service and if you're not satisfied with their products they offer a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Le Beauty Naturals Brightening Eye Complex #Review

Sometimes I don't get enough sleep and my eyes tend to get tired looking. Also I have some light circles under them occasionally. I'm always looking for a great product that can help my eyes look brighter and better. I recently had the pleasure to try the Le Beauty Naturals Brightening Eye Complex.

When I received the product it came packaged securely. This eye gel comes in a luxurious looking container with a silver cap and pump dispenser. It comes shrink-wrapped and includes 1.5 ml of the product. It's nice that you can see the amount of gel you have left because it has a clear middle on the bottle.

This gel includes Vitamin C , Peptides and Plant Stem Cells. Another great ingredient that I like is the Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract. I guess we've all heard that cucumbers are soothing and good for puffiness so this sounded good to me. Other ingredients I like in this product are Aloe, Green Tea Extract and Licorice Root Extract. Below is a full list of the ingredients:

Ingredients:

Deionized Water, Butylene Glycol, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Echinacea Angustifolia Meristem Cell Culture, Xanthan Gum, Ethoxydiglycol, Hesperidin Methylchalcone, Steareth 20-Dipeptide-2, Palmitoyl Tetapeptide-7, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Carbomer, Sodium PCA, Eyebright Extract, Green Tea Extract, Licorice Root Extract, Triethanolamine, Glycosaminoglycans, Panthenol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Allantoin

The skin around your eyes is very delicate so you want a product that doesn't cause irritation but goes on smoothly and is gentle. There is almost no scent to it and it's not overpowering to the senses.

To use I apply a tiny amount onto my finger and lightly smooth it on my skin, under the eye area. I found the gel to be very refreshing, with no burning or redness. There was no greasy feeling afterwards and it absorbed very quickly into my skin.

I've used the Le Beauty Naturals Brightening Eye Complex for only about a week, in the morning before I apply my moisturizer and makeup. It doesn't cause caking in my makeup but works well with it. The skin under my eyes already looks more rejuvenated and not as tired looking as they were before. This is a product that I am happy with and will continue to use.

Le Beauty Naturals Brightening Eye Complex is made in the USA and you may find it at Amazon.

Oz Naturals -- Super Youth Eye Gel - Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer - Vitamin C Cleanser ~ Reviews

Disclosure: I received sample products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Oz Naturals - Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer - Vitamin C Cleanser - Super Youth Eye Gel ~ Reviews

 Since I'm not a spring chick any more I've noticed some fine lines pop up over the years. When you age your skin starts to lose it's elasticity and isn't as firm as it used to be. Your skin gets sun damage and you may get dark spots here and there. I've been taking better care of my skin the last couple of years and want to keep it up.

 I'm always up to trying beauty products and had not heard of Oz Naturals before so was happy to try three of their products for my review.

Oz Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel

First of all I'll start with the Super Youth Eye Gel. This is a lightweight gel and not a cream. 

It comes in a .5 fluid ounce container with a pump which includes 100% natural ingredients. I'm all for putting organic products on my skin and not some nasty chemicals. Some of the key ingredients include Matrixyl 3000, Peptide Complex, Natural Plant Stem Cells, Cucumber Hydrosol, Jojoba Oil, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid, Wildcrafted Periwinkle, Organic Licorice, Wild Crafted Eye Bright, Wild Crafted Reishi, Organic Gotu Kola, and Vitamin E. 

The eye gel is great for all skin types and goes on smoothly. It leaves a nice cooling and refreshed feeling on my skin. I've only used it a few days at night time but like the firming effect so far. You only need a small amount and it can also be used on your forehead and cheek area. With continued use I'm anxious to see some of the dark circles under my eye fade.

Oz Naturals Sea Infused Herbal Moisturizer

The Oz Naturals Sea Infused Moisturizer is an organic product that contains some potent and beneficial ingredients such as Vitamin C and Algae Keratin Extract. I love using Vitamin C on my skin and use it daily so this moisturizer is another great way to help my skin looking as youthful as possible. 

I don't think I've ever used a product that included seaweed before so this was a new experience for me. I've learned that seaweed proteins are beneficial in helping to produce collagen and raw cold pressed plant lipids help to restore moisture and hydrate your skin. Organic sulfur is another key ingredient which is a healing solvent and helps to remove toxins from your skin.

This moisturizer comes in a 4 fluid ounce with a dark black color on the front on the tube. It has a light scent and is a nice creamy texture. My face doesn't feel like an oil slick after using it but my skin really deeply absorbs the product. It makes my skin feeling more lovely and smooth. I like that it doesn't contain any parabens or sulfates in it either and is safe for all skin types.

OZ Naturals Vitamin C Cleanser

Like the other two the I tried out, the Vitamin C Cleanser is another great product from Oz Naturals. The bright orange color of the tube is nice to identify the product. It comes in a 4 fluid ounce tube as the Herbal Moisturizer does. I'm a regular user of cleansers on my face every night to remove my makeup so couldn't wait to try this out. 

This Vitamin C Cleanser is good for treating acne, psoriasis, eczema and helps with inflammation of the skin. It has has anti-fungal and anti-septic properties.

The fragrance is light and fresh and is gentle on my skin. It thoroughly but gently cleanses my face and isn't harsh at all. I like that all the dirt, grime and impurities are gone and my pores feel so clean and renewed. It includes soothing aloe so it doesn't dry my skin but leaves it feeling hydrated and fresh.

As are the other two products, the Oz Naturals Vitamin C Cleanser is great for all skin types. Another big plus is that all Oz Naturals products are made in an FDA registered facility in the USA.

Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused ULTIMATE PEPTIDE Eye Brightening Gel ~ Review

Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused ULTIMATE PEPTIDE Eye Brightening Gel ~  Review

Azure Naturals has high quality products for facial skincare and anti-aging that I have tried in the past. I have always been very satisfied with their high standards and their Cucumber Infused ULTIMATE PEPTIDE Eye Brightening Gel is no exception. I would have to say this is one of the tops in the eye serums I've used.

Did you know that as you age your cellular renewal slows down? This product helps to restore the natural youthfulness to your skin. As I've gotten older I've noticed more dark circles and fine lines. Also the skin around my eye area is not as firm. I want to fight the signs of aging and this is a great way to help me looking my best.

This eye gel comes in a beautiful pump container with a bright green label and a silver cap. It is a lightweight gel-like substance which has a nice light scent of cucumbers. I like how it just glides on my eye area skin and doesn't leave any irritation afterwards. My skin feels so refreshed and the skin under my eyes feels more firm since I've been using it. I'm really happy with this product!

You will also be happy to know that the Azure Naturals Cucumber Infused ULTIMATE PEPTIDE Eye Brightening Gel is made in the USA. It is 97% natural and 72% organic. Also it does not contain alcohol, parabens or GMO's. It is plant based, cruelty free and never tested on animals. They also have a one year money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
