If you follow me on Instagram, you probably know by now that I love to run. I’ve put together some of the everyday essentials for my workouts.

1. A headband. Not any headband though. I love these LuLulemon headbands. I probably should own stock by now because these are the best ones I’ve found. Athleta also has some good ones too! They stay on and don’t fall back. They also keep the flyaways and excess sweat out of my eyes. Highly recommend.
2. Deodorant. OF COURSE! I’ve been on the natural deodorant train for a couple of years now and the Lavanilla Labs one is the best one at keeping me smelling fresh all workout long! I like the Vanilla and Lavender scents!
3. Sunscreen! Runs in the heat of Summer can really take a toll on ya, but you have to protect your skin with the essential sunscreen. This one by Dermalogica is a great staple. It doesn’t run with sweat and it protects so well. I also like that it doesn’t leave a white cast.
4. Headphones. Sudio reached out and asked if I wanted to give their headphones a try. I was excited to try the Sudio Tolv White out for the first time the other day and these are very nice. They hold a good charge, fit nicely, and are super sleek in design. The one thing I noticed is that they are super light and comfortable to wear. The music and volume seemed good when running and I didn’t hear a lot of external noises. I had a hard time figuring out the fit initially (like I do all earphones), but I was able to run well without problems. I want to try these particular headphones out more to give a more thorough review.

Sudio provided a 15% off discount for me to share with you all if you are interested.

I am excited to provide a review of a couple of Erno Laszlo products today! They kindly gifted* these for my honest review.

Pore Refining Detox Double Cleanse* $55 – I’ve been trying this out for a while now and I keep reaching and reaching for it!  It takes off makeup, including eye makeup, using black charcoal, a fruit enzyme complex, and a kale protein blend.  I use it in the mornings and night – very nice well-rounded cleanser.  It wasn’t drying at all, which I am always afraid of when trying new cleansers.  I’m definitely going to purchase this after I am out!

White Marble Dual Phase Vitamin C Peel* $100 – I really enjoy this brightening scrub/peel…  it definitely polishes without being too harsh.  I love a good physical exfoliator.  It makes my skin so smooth and it smells incredible.  This has Vitamin C, Carrot Seed Oil (diminishes spots!!!), and Lactic acid (exfoliates).  The only thing I don’t really like about this is that it is in a tub, but it is so thick, that it really needs to be in the tub.

Antioxidant Complex for Eyes – Brightening Eye Gel – $80 – This has Vitamin C – (my favorite!!!), Mulberry Extract (lightens), and Aloe Vera (plumps)… WOW.  I really love how this hydrates underneath my eyes.  It’s so cooling.  I wear this mostly at night and it has been such a soothing gel. A little goes a long ways.

My favorite? The cleanser.  It’s really nice, easy to use, and I continue to reach for it without even thinking about it!

A big thank you to Erno Laszlo for providing these products for review.  I am so grateful!

Lots of love!

Pestle and Mortar does it AGAIN, y’all! Their Balance spritz* is an amazing hydrating mist to clarify and calm the skin!

Made with deep sea Irish magnesium, this mist helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors. It also balances sebum production!

How do I use this?

After cleansing, I spray with my eyes and mouth closed about 8-10 inches away from my face. It’s so refreshing. I let it dry down before going in with my serums and moisturizer.

I’ve also used this over makeup as well as a pick-me-up. It really is nice and hydrating during a hot, Summer day!

About

Pestle and Mortar products are 100% cruelty-free and vegan. They have also banned over 3,000 harmful ingredients from their products.

This product is 80mL and $44 at Pestle and Mortar’s website.

Happy Thursday friends! I hope you have had an amazing week! Today, I am excited to bring you a review of the Silk Therapeutics C Advance Anti-Aging Intensive Serum and The Eye Revive Brightening and Firming Eye Cream!

Let’s first start by saying that I was gifted these products in exchange for my honest review.

The product I was most excited to try was the Vitamin C serum. I am a BIG fan of Vitamin C, so this just popped out to me as something I would like to try. It is innovative in the fact that it uses Activated Silk, 10% Vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Sounds like a dream!

A little more info about Activated Silk (from website):

“Made from pure silk protein and water, Activated Silk is a scientific breakthrough born from nature, and it can only be found in our skincare.

Activated Silk:

• Partners with your skin’s collagen to promote a firm, smooth appearance
• Replaces entire classes of chemicals commonly found in skincare products
• Enables clinical-grade performance with just 12 ingredients or fewer”
• Activated Silk Website

Silk Therapeutics doesn’t use parabens, phthalates, or sulfates. They are cruelty and fragrance free. Their founder battled a rare form of Ovarian cancer at 27 and had a difficult time finding products to use for her sensitive skin that were free from harsh chemicals. Thus, Silk Therapeutics was born.

On initial application, this felt so nice. I really felt it tightening the skin, but it didn’t feel like it sunk in. I had trouble with this feeling every time I used it. I was disappointed that it provided a film like feeling. I know it is supposed to tightening, but I also really hoped it would feel like it was in my skin and not on top.

I was reading reviewsabout this just now and many love this! One lady said she was putting it under her eyes, and I thought that was a great idea! I may try that as it has some great ingredients that I would love to see work. I just can’t get past the filmy feeling. Please remember my skin type is on the dry side, so that may have something to do with it as well.

The eye revive brightening and firming cream is soooo interesting. At first I didn’t know what to think, because I opened the jar and it almost reminded me of this gritty texture, but it wasn’t gritty, it was so whipped that it looked that way. It becomes super hydrating once you rub it underneath the eye. I LOVE the way this cream feels. I don’t have terrible undereye problems, but this is perfect for someone who wants to plump and hydrate.

Overall, if I were to recommend one to try, I would try the eye cream. I’ve made a pretty big dent in it, so I am pleased that I have been able to give it an appropriate wear test.

Have y’all tried Silk Therapeutics? I think their ingredients are pretty innovative.

Wishing you all the bright fireflies,

Jnnifer

OK, can it be love at first spritz? Um, for me, yes. This is crazy good.

I received this Bliss Rose Gold Rescue Soothing Toner Mist in the mail yesterday from Bliss (PR), and I immediately was drawn to the mist. I mean, I love a good mist! I’m very picky though. The spritzer has to be JUST right. And let me tell ya, this one is JUST right!

About:

This mist is formulated with rose flower water an colloidal gold. For those like me, asking – what is that… this is really all I could find…

From what I can find from various sources, colloidal gold is supposed to help heal and regenerate. Unfortunately, I can’t find studies to support this theory, but many do say that it works!

Regardless, the rose water is also great for sensitive skin. The product itself gives a healthy glow and provides a great pick me up! I am super impressed!

You can totally use this over makeup too!!! It’s super fine, and it doesn’t mess up your makeup at all!

At $9.99, this is a steal. I saw it is available at Target, so I may pick up another one while I am out and about sometime.

Have you seen this around? What are your thoughts?

Wishing you all the bright fireflies,

Jennifer

I am excited to bring you a review of this neck sculpting cream with GUA SHA technique by Dr. Brandt*.

What is this supposed to do?

This is “an innovative, cutting edge formula with a proven massage technique that shrinks the appearance of fat below the chin to define the neck and jawline for a more sculpted look.” Dr. Brandt PR Insert

What’s in it?

The cream has some great ingredients including pea extract to tighten, sodium hyaluronate for hydration, and CAFFEINE!  YES!

It includes a rose quartz tool that is nicely designed to massage the skin and muscles of the neck.

What do I think?

This is a pretty innovative product – very forward thinking by Dr. Brandt.  I was so excited to receive this, but I was super skeptical… my first impressions were that it was kind of gimmicky, TOTAL honesty here.

I gave it a try though.  I am so glad that I did.  I really enjoy the GUA SHA technique!  It is actually so relaxing.  I carry a lot of stress in my neck (I get migraines frequently) and I feel that this actually helps to alleviate some of that stress. 

The cream is very nice and hydrating.  One draw back is that it feels very sticky after applied.  I would prefer that it sink in and feel tacky.

Results?

As for results, for me, it is difficult to tell.  I don’t have terrible neck skin, so I can’t say one way or another if it is helping my skin.  My skin does feel more hydrated and it does remind me to take care of my neck, as it is neglected most of the time in my skincare routine.

Overall, very cool idea, nice product, and it feels incredible.  It $95 for the set, which isn’t cheap.  Let me know what you think or if you have tried this out.

Wishing you all of the bright fireflies,
Jennifer
