Earth Week Focus & Giveaway: Day One!

If you're a regular reader of my blog, you know that Reviva Labs is my everyday skin care line. While I continue to test skin care products to review on my blog, I personally have not found another line that works as consistently and effectively as Reviva. Their range of products seems endless, but because everyone has different skin care needs at different times in their lives, I think they are able to offer a product for just about anything your skin might require.
Their commitment to utilizing natural ingredients rather than chemical ingedients in all of their products has been recognized by their peers, and they have received numerous industry awards. Their products contain no animal ingredients, nor do they practice any form of animal testing. Their products can be purchased on their web site, and also in many natural product stores such as Whole Foods. If you're interested in natural skin care, Reviva's web site contains a wealth of information on the subject.
The prize package contains five products to get you started on a basic but thorough skin care routine. I selected four items that I use regularly, and the kind folks at Reviva suggested that we also include an exfoliant of some sort to complete the facial care process. One winner will receive this five piece skin care set which includes:
-Organic Cleansing Milk

I've reviewed a couple of these products in the past (check my Reviva label to view), and today I'd like to share my thoughts with you on the Makeup Primer. After recently starting the transition from a powder foundation to a liquid foundation, I felt the need to start using a makeup primer on a more regular basis. I've tried numerous ones, but to be honest, I saw no real difference in the final look. That's not to say that some of them didn't work at all, because they did to some degree. However, my main issue was that the foundation seemed to settle into the pores on and around my nose, making them more obvious. I saw very little visible difference in that problem area, until I started using the Reviva product.
The things that I prefer about Reviva's Makeup Primer are first, it's a clear gel formula so I don't get any chalkiness or discoloration from the primer. Also, it applies like silk and I experience an even application without flakiness. Some of the other products I've used seem to "ball up", for lack of a better term, and that is not a pretty sight when mixed in with foundation! I'm still mastering the application of a liquid foundation after having used a powder one all of my life--I just felt that I needed something with a little more coverage, and having finally found the right foundation seems to be the answer. Reviva's Makeup Primer definitely helps me to gain a near-flawless finish when using a liquid foundation. I apply it after my Day Cream, and one quick pump is all you need. It also helps to control oil, so that will be appreciated if it ever warms up around here! You can click the link above to view more information, including the ingredients.

ReplyDeleteI would love to try out these products. You don't find a lot of companies these days that are consistent on being earth friendly because it might be too expensive or a time waster. I would love to win some of these but if I don't, I am still going to think about purchasing some in the future. Thanks for the opportunity :)
