Hello Friends!

If you have been a reader of my blog for any length of time then you know that I love It Cosmetics. Their CC Cream is my one true foundation love. When I saw that QVC was launching a kit with a new foundation product I ordered it asap. I’ve been using it for several months now and I’m ready to share my thoughts with all of you! SPOILER ALERT: So Disappointed!

Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum Review

Item sent for review

Hello Friends!

Today I have another item that Valentia was kind enough to send to me. You can read my previous Valentia reviews here and here.

I have been using the Royal Rose Hydrating Serum for almost a month now. This serum is cruelty free and vegan friendly.

Here are the claims from the product listing:

A lightweight serum that boosts moisture and resilience while soothing and calming the skin.

This Hydrating & Nourishing Serum Will:
– Deeply moisturize skin
– Provide antioxidant protection
– Soothe & nourish dry skin
– Smooth skin tone & texture
– Boost skin radiance

My Thoughts:

Of the Valentia products I’ve tried this is my favorite (even more than the eye cream I reviewed previously). This serum was really put to the test since I was pretty sick when I was testing it. I absolutely agree with the claims that it is deeply moisturizing and that it soothes dry skin (which I had plenty of while sick). I didn’t really notice a boost in radiance.

In my previous review of the Valentia Hydrating Mask, I said that if you were on a budget I would go for the eye cream over the mask. Now I’m going to recommend the Royal Rose Serum over both of the previous products I reviewed because the serum is so hydrating you can absolutely use it as an eye cream.

Skin Care is something I have become passionate about and I love trying things from smaller brands that make quality products. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know and use some of the great cruelty free skin care items from Valentia.

Nothing to Disclose

Hello Friends!

The thing about being born with curly hair is that you are destined to be a product junkie. People with curly hair will try just about anything that promises some way to make your hair do what you want. Curly hair has a mind of it’s own! You can use the same products, in the same order and use the same techniques every day and you never know what your hair will decide to do.  I am not any kind of hair expert (seriously, my hair does what it wants and I am just along for the ride), but this year I’m going to start reviewing some cruelty free curly hair brands and products.
