REVIEW: Merlot Natural Grape Seed Skin Care

I've been on a crusade lately to get my family and friends who believe whole heartedly that "Black don't crack" to realize that it does and it will, if you're not caring for it with the right products. Everyone needs to understand that while there are some expensive skincare products there are inexpensively priced ones that don't skimp on the goodness. I've come across some really great skincare that not only cleanse, and moisturize but also provides treatment such as skin tone repair, anti wrinkle, and some protection from the sun.

  Merlot Natural Grape Seed Skin Care was first introduced to me at the HBA Expo 2 weeks ago and I was very impressed. Out of their line of seventeen products I've used three that have been proving themselves quite nicely if you ask me. 

 The cleanser which is soap free doesn't leave my skin greasy, gentle enough around my eyes and leaves my skin feeling not dry.

I'm not a huge fan of body scrubs because I hate feeling as if I just lathered on body oil in the shower. But after  using Merlot's Microdermabrasion Body Scrub I didn't have to take another shower with my normal shower gel because my skin felt clean and soft. 

In this hot blazing summer that we've been having thus far my desire to put on makeup has certainly took a downturn mostly because I produce more oil in the summer and have to slather on SPF more than any other season. What's awesome about this moisturizer is that one it contains SPF, two it is moisturizing and three it delivers on its promise as being non-oily. No joke I'm impressed and amazed that I can have a facial moisturizer be moisturizing and non-oily at the same time. This right here is a MUST HAVE! 

PROS:

Moisturizer

• ANTI-AGING 
• SPF 15 
• FRAGRANCE FREE
• NON-OILY

Cleanser

• SOAP FREE
• REMOVES IMPURITIES

Body Scrub

• HELPS FADE SCARRING
• MINIMIZES AGE SPOTS
• EVENS OUT SKIN TONE
• SMOOTHER & FIRMER SKIN

(with continued and consistent use of course) 

Ladies and gentleman alike I'm so very much in love with what I've tried so far that I'm giving Merlot Natural Grape Seed Skin Care a stamp of GO GET IT RIGHT NOW Miss Merli approval. I would recommend this for All Skin Types.  The face cleanser retails for 15.00, the moisturizer 15.00 and the body scrub 15.00... but guess what? Unbeknownst to me the entire site is on sale so you can get all of their products HALF OFF! So I'm going to get my eye cream and exfoliating scrub to round out my facial routine. HURRY! The sales ends July 4th and its online only!

Baby It's Cold Outside: How You Moisturizing and Cleansing?

Hello Beautiful People,

       Would you believe that October 29th brought us our first snowstorm  of the season... Did the fall autumn leaves even fall yet? Crazy right? Well I thought to myself I have to now go through the process of pulling sweaters, coats, boots and everything warm and "sniff sniff" put the summer clothes away. Even some of my facial routine changes but two things that don't change for me is my Amande Pomme Compote Exfoliante Sweet Peel (FacialScrub) and Pure Shea Butter by L' Occitane, which just happens to be from my favorite place in the world France! I first discovered both items while studying abroad and made my stop in Paris. I walked into L'Occitane En Provence after being diagnosed with Eczema which is triggered by the sun and had to fully revaluate my beauty routine. I told the sales person what I needed and without hesitation she pulled the Shea Butter, which was amazing! Not only would it be good for my skin but it began targeting the rough spots on my body like my elbows, feet, and knees. She also said that I could use it on my face where I had been burned (Hyères sun wreaked havoc on me). She also show me the facial scrub and I was in love with the smell, the texture as well as how it made my face feel after using it. I hated so many other scrubs because either they were too harsh, or two creamy and left my skin feeling dirty and greasy still. With the Sweet Peel I get so many great benefits, from anti-aging skincare, tightened pores and the smell is simply yummy. (I love great smelling things What!). So now as we change seasons I reminisce on the wonderful Provencal Summer of 2008 and my silky skin thanks to these two amazing pieces in my beauty regime. Trust me if you have any skin ailments like I do or have sensitive skin this is what you need in your life.
