Review: Kat Burki

The Kat Burki essence is one of elegance, grace and style with a twist of tuberose. The Kat Burki lifestyle collection specializes in home furnishing and body and bath collections. Its products are prestigious by virtue of materials, workmanship, style and reputation. The Kat Burki line is recognizable by its signature medallion, Doré pattern and Tuberose scent.

Kat Burki Home is known for its dedication to philanthropic causes. Kat Burki Home has contributed to and participated in Super Saturday in the Hamptons which benefits the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, L’Oreal Legends Gala in NYC, which also benefits the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, The Carousel of Hope, Barbara Davis’ annual Hollywood event to help support her Center for Childhood Diabetes, Kids in Crisis in Greenwich Connecticut, that provides support and shelter for children in need of help, and Peace Over Violence in L.A.

I love the Signature Tuberose Candle ($52) that I received! If you like floral scents, this one will not disappoint. This candle has a nice perfumey smell that is intoxicating, but not overpowering. This clean cut white floral is simple, yet luxurious. Not only does this candle smell lovely, but I noticed that it burns clean and will last a long time! No home should be without a Kat Burki candle. You can also order a candle in Freesia & Pink Grapefruit or Lavender Lightly.

Review: Morganna's Alchemy

Morganna's Alchemy began in Europe as the brainchild of Maya Hyppolite, a cosmetic chemist with over fifteen years experience creating some of the most popular personal care products on the market. Applying her expertise to the world of cosmeceuticals, Maya quickly invented a line of skin care products.

Today, Morganna's Alchemy is based in the beautiful gulf coast of Florida and serves an international clientele united by a single goal - to remain as young and beautiful as nature, science and wisdom will allow.

Morganna's Enchantment ($39.99) is a powerful cream that is blended with natural oils, extracts and other ingredients that inhibits production of the hormones that are a leading cause of acne. This cream delivers anti-oxidants, collagen stimulators and other nutrients to treat existing outbreaks and prevent acne-related scars. This product has done wonders for my blemish outbreaks. Therefore, I highly recommend this product if you have problems with acne. It might be a tad pricey, but it is well worth it!

Review: CeleBritAy

Established in 1998, CeleBritAy offers natural health and beauty goods for men and women in an environmentally friendly fashion. This is a Victorian tradition that, sadly, has been ignored by most modern beauty product companies as they aim to reach the mass market and have chosen to replace natural products with man-made chemicals.



I absolutely love the Organic Olive Gift Set ($43) that I received from CeleBritAy. This set includes the Organic Olive Body Cream, Organic Olive Body Scrub, Organic Olive Lip Balm and Organic Olive Body Soap.

The body cream absorbs in my skin quickly, locks in moisture and leaves it unbelievably soft. I have been using this for a short period of time, and I love how it rejuvenates my sensitive skin without irritating it. I like how it is ideal for all skin types.

The lip balms (Organic Olive and Cherry Avocado) that I received look and feel like I'm wearing lip gloss. They are very moisturizing. When I went to Illinois to visit my dad, he was complaining about his lips being chapped. Much as I almost hated to, I gave him the Olive Oil lip balm and he seems to be quite impressed with it since it nipped the problem.

I've tried many scrubs, and quickly fell in love with theirs! The smell of their scrub is divine, and the results are amazing! It makes my skin super smooth and soft. It is pure luxury without the hefty price tag. It's not good as a body scrub, but you can add a scoop or two in your bath.

I also really liked the soap. Unlike most soaps, this one didn't make my skin feel dry afterward.

Needless to say, the Organic Olive Gift Set would make a wonderful gift!

Review: Miessence Travel Size Tropicana Body Milk

Organic and Natural Enterprise Group (or ONEgroup) is an Australian based company who creates and manufactures the world's first Certified Organic cosmetic products, haircare, health care, personal care and skincare. ONEgroup's range of products stand in a class of their own by being independently certified to international food grade standards by some of the world's most respected organic certifying organizations, namely, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), IFOAM (Europe) and Australian Certified Organic (ACO).



The Miessence Travel Size Tropicana Body Milk ($6.50) is lightweight and moisture rich. The best thing is that it is 100% natural free of synthetic chemicals and it's organic - BIG PLUS +++. It is infused with organic raw coconut oil that acts as a protective barrier against moisture loss. The organic aloe vera inner leaf gel will hydrate and nourish dry skin. It has an aroma of coconut and frangipani. The smell is delightful, yet light! Like most products, the smell doesn't linger on. However, the moisture will last throughout the day.

Want more? Sure, you do. It's also available in a bigger size for $23.50.

Review: The Lumene TIME FREEZE Instant Cooling Eye Stick ($21.99) is formulated with natural arctic heather along with plant sterols that are extracted from arctic white peat that will provide long-term wrinkle reducing benefits, and protect skin against future signs of aging. I was a bit taken back by the small size when I first received this product. However, I love the cooling effect that it provides. This product is a must have when you're out and about in the sun. It goes on easily, and most importantly, it doesn't irritate my eyes. It provides enough moisture that sinks into the skin quickly. Lumene TIME FREEZE Instant Cooling Eye Stick is recommended for all skin types and is the ideal product for puffiness and dark circles. I highly recommend using this product sparingly, due to the size, since a little bit goes a long way!

You can buy this product at your local CVS or at CVS.com.

Review: CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara

Review: So far I'm favoring the CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara ($7.65). I've tried many mascaras - from budget friendly to luxe. This is a new favorite of mine, and I have very few favorites when it comes to mascara. Even though this mascara isn't waterproof, it doesn't smudge or clump. The brush makes it easy to apply. It brings my lashes to life by adding length and volume, and it will actually last throughout the day! It removes easily without irritating my eyes like most mascaras. No need to hit the beauty counter when you can find this gem at the nearest drugstore! Do I have any complaints about this mascara? None whatsoever!
