WHAT IT DOES NOT CONTAIN

The Keeva creed insists on natural, helpful ingredients that won’t damage the skin. There are No harmful chemicals, parabens, or sulfates.

Keeva insists on natural, healthy ingredients that won’t damage the skin

It feels cool and refreshing and dries down soft and smooth

MY EXPERIENCE

It is a cool, refreshing gel that I put on my main breakout areas: nose blackheads, cheeks, jawline, and chin.

Just a small amount is enough

A thin layer quells acne and maintains clear skin. It dries down smooth, not sticky. There is no residue. There is no medicine smell like some acne treatments. I apply once a day. If I feel a cystic acne pimple coming on, I dab on some extra on that spot.

Tea Tree Oil kills bacteria quickly. It also balances oil production to keep pores consistently free. It took a couple of weeks to see unclogged, clear skin on me. But in the meantime, pimples look less angry even after one use and are smaller in size over a few days. The lifespan of cystic acne pimples seems shorter. They do not linger as long or look as full-blown irritated. Meanwhile, my skin stays flake-free and soft.

Daily apply a thin layer of Keeva Organics Acne Treatment Cream to start seeing results within 48 hours.

Apply a thin layer daily and start seeing results within 48 hours.

After a few weeks of daily use, cystic acne flareups are dramatically reduced. Keeva’s approach is preventing acne by eliminating pimple ingredients (bacteria, dead skin cells). Sensitive skin can tolerate this approach because of the soothing and buffering ingredients.

Keeva Organics Acne Treatment Cream is an excellent product to break the acne cycle. It is filled with natural, effective ingredients that get the job done.

At one ounce, it should last several months even with daily use.

Cool and refreshing gel texture dries down without sticky residue

Gifts for Makeup Addicts: Eddie Funkhouser LuxLight Shadow Palette + Eye Brush Essentials Set

May 9, 2019 · 16 Comments

Eddie Funkhouser has deals on gift ideas for Mom in their Mother’s Day Shop. One is the LuxLight Eyeshadow Palette with Bonus Essential Eye Brush Set.

Eddie Funkhouser LuxLight Eyeshadow Palette

Eddie Funkhouser LuxLight Professional Eyeshadow Palette contains blendable mattes and shimmers

About the Eddie Funkhouser LuxLight Professional Shadow Palette

This palette has ten shadow pans of nude and neutral matte, shimmer and full metallic shimmer shades.
It is a creamy formula and highly pigmented.
Vegan and non-GMO. Paraben free.
The palette lid has an integrated mirror for touch-ups.

THE Essential Eye Brush Set

There are five brushes in the Essential Eye Brush Set. The brushes are well made; full and soft with shaped bristles. The bristles do not fall out with use or washing. The handles have a nice grip. I find the array of brushes useful for the initial base application, blending and precise product placement along the crease. The set includes some useful basics including a small tapered brush for the crease and undereye shadow application or pressing powder into the eyeliner line. There is also a tapered blending brush and a crease brush.

LuxLight Palette and Essential Brush Set. Brush is loaded with Brushlight, a shimmering copper shade

My EXPERIENCE

There is a significant color payoff with these shades, very pigmented. They blend well.

Highly pigmented and creamy smooth formula shadows

There is fallout during application, especially with the coppery and plum shimmers, but I didn’t have a fallout problem once the shades were blended well. A layer of loose powder on your undereye area or shadow shields are helpful if you are doing a smokey metallic look.

Eddie Funkhouser Eyeshadow Application tip:

“To give your eye makeup a high fashion edge, contour the crease of the eye with a dark shade using an Eye Contour Brush. Apply a second application of the same shade to the crease of the eye using a Crease Brush.”

May 9, 2019 · 8 Comments

A few gift idea deals in the Eddie Funkenhouser Drama for Mama Mother’s Day Shop this week. The first is the Eddie Funkhouser Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette + All Eye Need Set.

About The Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette

The Eddie Funkhouser Sexy Mama Bedroom Eyes Palette features:

Shimmering white, not gray enough to be quite silver.
Lavender rose
Smokey purple
Matte smokey taupe

Close up of the shadow pans

This quad is highly versatile. The colors work for basic day makeup and transition to nighttime and weekend looks.

High pigment and smooth formulation. There is some fallout during application. But once the shadow is on, it stays put, even after several hours. The shimmer shades blend well over the matte taupe. Layering doesn’t look cakey, even when combining matte and shimmer shades.

EddieFunkhouser.com gives product application tips. A suggestion for this palette: “contour the crease of the eye with a dark shade using an Eye Contour Brush. Apply a second application of the same shade to the crease of the eye using a Crease Brush.”

Eddie Funkhouser BONUS

In the Eddie Funkhouser Mother’s Day Shop Buy the palette and get a bonus All Eye Need Eye Set.

The All Eye Need Eye Set contains:

Quatro Variable Lash Mascara has four incremented of dots on the cap. This is the FX Dial with 4 levels from natural (1) to extreme (4). “Click” it to the desired intensity. I really like the wand brush shape as the bristles are highly defined for even application. Long-wearing and BLACK BLACK BLACK lashes. Doesn’t make my eyes itchy and doesn’t flake. Conditioning formula.

Unique bristles define and separate while coating and combing every lash

Creamy Graffiti Creme Eye Pencil has a built-in smudger and sharpener. It is a VIVID JET BLACK. Create a softer line with a light hand and using the smudger tip. The black tones of the two liners match. This is ideal for filling in bare spots on your basic line or for touchups. Still perfecting your eyeliner game or are out of practice? This pencil is basically goof-proof. It is long-lasting for such a creamy formula. Built-in sharpener keeps the line crisp.
The Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus is truly excellent for drawing an even, precise liquid line. There is no skipping or tugging. The flow is even and continuous. The brush tip is thin but can deliver a thick line when angled. Once it is dry, it stays put.

One of my biggest liquid liner pet peeves is an uneven flow. I find it results in some thicker line sections that require the rest of the eye to be re-lined in to even out the line.

I was able to draw a very thin and even line with the Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus using the tip straight on. It is just the right amount of liner for the office to look awake and alert. Using the Ultra Definition Eye Lining Stylus on an angle does a thicker cat-eye top line. Ideal for filling in between lashes with tiny dots for a lusher looking lash line.

It wears well without major touchups. I am not gifted at the art of eyelining and value a product that makes it easy to get it right the first time. I particularly like the precision of this liner. I can get my line as thin (or thick) as I want without lots of fuss.

Hair Oiling: Provence Beauty Damage Repair Hair Treatment Oil

April 27, 2019 · 6 Comments

We love a good hair oiling treatment. There is such a variety of oils that can moisturize, strengthen, and soften hair. Some oils even help promote hair growth. We love mixing DIY hair oil concoctions. But some pre-mixed hair oils are hard to beat. One of these oils is Provence Beauty Damage Repair Hair Treatment Oil. It is a combination of numerous oils that moisturize while strengthening damaged and brittle hair. It also makes a great scalp massage oil for hair growth as it contains three oils proven to enhance regrowth by promoting better blood flow to the follicles and removing DHT.

Provence Beauty Damage Repair Hair Oil

About Provence Beauty Damage Repair Hair Treatment Oil

Provence Beauty Damage Repair Hair Treatment Oil intended to strengthen the length while promoting scalp health & hair growth. Some of the oils include Sunflower, Jojoba, Grapeseed, Ylang-Ylang, Black Cumin Oil and Rosemary Oil. This combination moisturizes while it strengthens.

Many of these oils individually can be pricey. This four-ounce bottle is a great deal.

THE SCENT

Black Cumin is the most detectable to me. The rosemary is just enough but not so much as to be pungent. The overall scent is predominantly a warm oregano smell. It is only really noticeable if using the oil for a scalp oil massage or full oiling treatment. A few drops rubbed between your hands and smoothed over the ends is not that detectable. I would not wear it to the office, however, as it is effectively scented.

THE CONSISTENCY

The consistency is of a thinner oil, but not too runny. it is lightweight if you want to use it to smooth the ends. I am impressed that the oil has such heavy oil ingredients but has such a light feel, more like apricot oil. It washes out of hair easily without a residue, which is impressive.

THE INDIVIDUAL OILS

This is a fantastic combination of both strengthening and moisturizing. The result is stronger feeling hair that is also smoother.

Sunflower is deeply hydrating and nourishing and an excellent carrier oil base.
Black Cumin Oil is used for dry hair, treating eczema and psoriasis and for hair growth. Since it is anti-inflammatory Black seed oil is great when diluted with a carrier oil to soothe scalp conditions that cause flakiness, and sensitivity. It also kills fungal infections. Like the companions citrus and rosemary essential oils, Black Cumin Oil is an adjuvant, meaning it works well with other ingredients to provide therapeutic effects.
Grapeseed is excellent for scalp health and treating brittle hair. Your hair may not have always been brittle, but gray hairs are often wirey even after they are colored. The loss of color sometimes changes hair texture, resulting in brittle hairs. Some medications can make hair brittle. Chemical processes and hot tools also dry the hair. These issues require super hydration to combat brittle hair. Grapeseed can do this. Grapeseed Oil also can remove follicle-shrinking DHT. DHT is a hormone that accumulates on the scalp and can cause hair loss. Once it is removed, hair often grows again.
Jojoba hydrates and nourishes while cleansing the scalp of impurities. It removes excess sebum, dandruff, and flakes blocking follicles. It is also an excellent moisturizer for dry hair.
Rosemary Oil combats dandruff
Jojoba and Rosemary Oil together is a clinically proven combo for encouraging hair growth. It takes about six months to see results.

Rosemary Oil combined with Jojoba is clinically proven to as effective as Minoxidil in regrowing hair when used for six months

RESULT

My hair felt especially strong and soft after one use. It was not as difficult to wash out as when I use any of these oils individually. It was light and didn’t take much oil to condition my hair. I left it on a few hours. It also made an excellent, relaxing scalp massage.

This is very helpful on crunchy ends. Before I used it, about the last 4-5 inches of my hair felt dry and rough. After one use, only the last inch feels crunchy, the rest feels amazingly strong and smooth.

It is a very versatile oil, good for a daily scalp massage, leave-in conditioner, hair treatment oil, or a few drops applied as a finishing hair smoother. I like to add this oil to a basic conditioner to make my own hair masque.

The Good Chemist LET’S BE CLEAR DUO: Skin Care For Adult Acne with Wrinkles

April 4, 2019 · 3 Comments

We recently discovered The Good Chemist. This beauty brand focuses on using only targeted, effective, clinically proven ingredients. This post takes a look at The Good Chemist’s answer to adult acne. Adult acne is a big problem. I thought by the time I got fine lines that I’d long be over acne. Instead, I have wrinkles and acne. We call it Wracne. And wracne is complicated.

The Good Chemist Let’s Be Clear Duo

TEEN ACNE VS ADULT ACNE
As a teen, I took the “scorched earth” approach to blemishes. I slathering my face with drying topicals to soak up the excess oil and dry the blemish to smithereens. And I scrubbed with acne washes. But this is too harsh on adult skin and makes wrinkles look so much more pronounced. What is even worse, is some of the moisturizers we use for wrinkles actually exasperate acne.

ADULT ACNE IS A JERK
Adult acne also tends to be cystic acne, and cystic acne pimples are little jerks. Cystic acne forms deep in the skin. Red, large, and painful, cystic acne is hard to conceal and can last for weeks. They are difficult not to poke and prod, and deceptively deep. Cystic acne can leave dark mark that lasts for months, even if you didn’t squeeze, pick or irritate it.

The Good Chemist is an adult approach to acne. It uses only ingredients that treat both wrinkles and acne.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST

The Good Chemist was founded by a skin care obsessed female chemist. The brand uses only independently tested, clinically proven ingredients in all their formulations.

The Good Chemist keeps skin care simple. Using many products can cause product interaction that irritates the skin. The Good Chemist uses only a few well-designed products that perform exceptionally.

While you do good for your skin, you also help girls dreaming of becoming scientists. Every The Good Chemist bottle you purchase contributes $1 to STEM education programs.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST LET’S BE CLEAR REGIMEN

This duo is for treating adult acne without sacrificing proper anti-aging skin care.

CLARITY

The Good Chemist Clarifying Duo addresses the hard to tackle adult acne with Clarity.

Clarity combines two acids that purge debris and oil from pores. Salicylic works deep in the pore and glycolic acid clear the surface.

Together, they eradicate pimple-causing “ingredients”. This eliminates the ability for a pimple to form, even deep cystic acne. Kaolin mattifies, dries out excess oil and existing blemishes without drying facial skin. Cucumber, seaweed, and aloe soothe skin so acne doesn’t appear dry and flaky, which makes it easier to conceal. Meanwhile, Vitamin C and peptides reduce post-breakout inflammation.

I find that Clarity is surprisingly tolerable even with daily use. Glycolic also works as an effective anti-aging peel ingredient. Salicylic acid also promotes collagen production. So if you have to get adult acne, this ingredient combo makes the most out of it.

RADIANCE REPAIR

Radiance Repair is the second product in this duo. It is a Vitamin C serum for adult acne with signs of aging. Does Vitamin C Serum leave your skin irritated and itchy? You aren’t alone. Radiance Repair Serum has two forms of Vitamin C, both are non-L-Ascorbic based. L-Ascorbic Vitamin C is the effective, cheaper yet irritating kind. Radiance Repair contains the other kind of Vitamin C, a stable, non-irritating variant.

Radiance Repair reduces acne inflammation and fades acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. A very grown-up sounding peptide Oligopeptide 68 balances melanin production. This supports the ability to fade discoloration.

Radiance Repair also contains soothing Aloe Vera.
