Naturally Fly Body Butters

Press Sample

I want to start this post off by first apologizing too Angela as well as everyone else for how long it's taken my to get this review up. Not only is it very unprofessional the amount of time it's taken, but it's very irresponsible of myself to have taken so long. Especially since I promised it would have been up FIVE days ago. Unfortunately life and sickness got in the way of me doing things that I enjoy (aka my blog), we can save that for another post though.

Without further adieu


Naturally Fly is new to me body care company. I heard about them from Brittany of Clumps of Mascara. All of Naturally Fly's body butters are 100% Nautral.

Up first we have Midnight Mango.
While there is actually nothing mango in this body butter, I must say that at first, it does smell really lovely. Now, for myself personally, it's extremely strong and the scent doesn't fade for quite a while. The last time I used this, my brother thought that I was burning something..like a candle, not actually burning something. The body butter itself is filled with all kinds of good oils that are just lovely for your skin, this is suggested that you wear this at night, so that it can fully soak into your skin.

I would suggest wearing some socks or long pants or something because I found that this can be a bit greasy. It takes a while to soak into the skin, I'm not using the word greasy lightly, because it's very very greasy. Even with it being greasy it is moisturizing, which is nice.
The picture above is not how the product actually looks. There is a warning on the packaging that says to store it in a coolr place...well, you might want to heed that warning. The product turned into that...I would show you a more updated picture, but it's not lovely and ...yeah it's just not. While the product still is useable, I do think that may be why I've found it to be very greasy and others haven't. 

Honey Punch
Honey Punch is in a smaller jar then Midnight Mango. Honney Punch is an all natural moisturizer that says it fights acne while acting as a skin clarifier. I didn't put this on my face, like MM I found this greasy but noticably LESS greasy. I can wear this without having to put on socks or anything else. I'm not sure if this is meant for the face, but I do have oily skin, so I skipped putting this on my face. I've been using it on Chris' back, since he has some serious backne and it seems to be helping.
Scent wise, it kind of smells like that soap that you get from hotels. I'm no knocking the scent because it isn't that over powering. I quite like the scent of this, it kind of reminds me of being in Tennessee. As you can see this one fared better than MM. I'm not sure why this one fared better, but it's lovely! 

I know it sounds that I'm bashing the problems, or hated the products themselves...Indeed I do quite enjoy them. I think I would have enjoyed Midnight Mango more if I had stored that properly, but that was totally user error.

Mehron INtense Pro Pressed Powder Pigment - Mountain Moss

Press Sample

To continue on with the green trend, I thought it would be fun to review a green eye shadow! This review should have been up months ago, but long story short. I'm just getting to it. I got this Mehron shadow in the goodie bag from the Blogger Preview of The Makeup Show. (can I say the any more?!) After first, I was disappointed with this shadow and then I tried it again and was really surprised!

Mountain Moss is a cool toned matte mossy green.
Please excuse the fact that there is already brush marks in it. I photographed it back in September or October, but with my new camera I decided to take new ones. I also decided to swatch the shadow 3 ways, alone, over primer and foiled. Now, we all know how I roll so each swatch is ONE swipe straight down the length of the pan.
With no primer, you can tell that the pigmentation is a bit poor, it also applied a bit unevenly. 
I used Urban Decay Primer Potion because I couldn't find my Milani primer at the time of swatching. As you can tell, the pigmentation is a lot better! To foil the shadow (bottom) I used Graftobians Magic Set Lining Liquid. LOOK at that pigmentation. 

With this shadow you can keep it light by blending it out or build it up dark in the crease. This does make a good shadow for a green smokey eye! 

You can purchase this shadow on Mehron.com it retails for $9.95 for 3g of product.

Relogy Skincare Review





I received this product from iFabbo for Relogy for free. I am not being paid nor am I affiliated with either companies. 

When I first received these products, I decided to keep a very open mind. I didn't want to read reviews or opinions on it, because I wanted to test it without having any expectations.

Relogy is a skincare system for acne prone skin. Holla! I have been suffering with acne since I was young. I've tried every drugstore acne brand there is and nothing really worked for me. I've tried a couple of high end brands as well and while they did work for my skin I hated the price of them. Now I am going to be upfront with you and tell you that this retails for $49.95! Ugh, you should have seen my face when I saw that. Now you do get three things with that $50. You get a rinse--free treatment foam, Skin balancing lotion and you get a spot treatment pen. Three things for $50 isn't that bad, but it still kills me to think about it. While I'm not fond (at all) of the price, I do have to say that I love the products.
