Review: Divina Organics

The Brand:

Monica from Divina Organics was so kind and sent me some of her products all the way from the UK to review. I was originally going to do my review on Pinterest, but that limits me to 500 characters or less. Considering Monica sent me several lovely products, I wanted to give her a more in depth review. All of Divina’s products are cruelty, paraben and silcone free, and certified organic! How great?! Now onto the review….

The Products:

Pro Age Renew Serum:

This product is a skin care treatment for mature skin. Since I’m a teenager, I gave this to my grandmother to try. So, I’m going to be paraphrasing her thoughts 🙂 She said she loved the subtle scent and how moisturizing it was. She said her skin felt refreshed and hydrated after only using this once.

Pure Rose Facial Mist:

This product smells just like a fresh bouquet of roses! Most toners I’ve tried have burned my face. Thankfully, this one did not. I love that it’s in a spray bottle, it makes it cooling to the face and very refreshing. I found myself spraying this on my face to freshen up my skin throughout the day.

Precious Oil:

This is another product my grandmother tried. She used it for areas where she had a wrinkle or some dry skin. She told me it was super hydrating and that a little bit goes a long way. The oil is enriched with argan and macadamia oils, to name a few.  It’s also vegan, yay!!!

Hydra Colour Lipstick & Vitamin E Lip Care

*I don’t believe the hydra colour lipstick is available for sale currently, but will be soon!* The lipstick itself is a lovely fuchsia shade with purple undertones. It’s very smooth and moisturizing. Unfortunately, it’s not very long lasting. I find the wearing time to be about 1-3 hours. The lip care is very moisturizing! I would even use it on my cuticles if they were extremely dry. Vitamin E is one of my favorite moisturizers!

Cucumber Cleansing Milk:

This product I was a little disappointed in. I have oily/combo skin, and I found this to be a little too moisturizing. Although, if you have dry skin this would be great for you. It just doesn’t coincide with my skin type.

French Pink Clay Mask:

This product smells lovely. I put this on my face for about 5-10 minutes then washed it off. My face felt very refreshed, but not oily. Which is great. I love that it doesn’t dry so hard that your face can’t move. I loved this product!!

Liquid Foundation:

*This product isn’t currently available for sale in Monica’s shop.* She sent me this in order to try and give my honest feedback on. I actually really liked the product. I was sent the perfect color, it blended in smoothly, and lasted pretty long (with a foundation primer). I’m hoping Monica adds this to her shop soon!

The Takeaway:

Overall I’d give this company a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Monica was so sweet and my package arrived save and sound all the way from across the pond. The only big drawback for me was that there’s no directions on the products. I had to go onto her Etsy store to see how to properly use the products. These are a little more expensive than your typical drugstore skincare products, however they’re really worth it. These products are all homemade, certified organic, all natural, and Monica really cares about what going into her products. She’s always open for feedback in order to better her company and her products. The products featured in this post are just a few of what Monica has to offer. So, go have a look around by clicking here. She ships worldwide!

 

Thanks for taking the time to read this review, and thank you Monica for the lovely products. Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend. See you soon ❤

Friday Favorites #3

friday faves

“Friday, Friday gotta get down on friday..” Anybody remember that song? I was secretly obsessed with it in middle school. Oh, how I miss middle school. The era of silly bands, webkinz and Hannah Montana. Those were the days! Any-who, you clearly know what day of the week it is and I’m gonna share this weeks favorites with y’all.  

 

S. Pellegrino IMG_6443 A couple months back I discovered S. Pellegrino and love it! It’s pretty much just sparkling water, but this one is really fizzy. I love water, but when I want a little something more, I grab one of these outta the fridge and I’m good to go! Super refreshing.  

 

Covergirl “Oh Sugar!” IMG_6495 I’m a total makeup addict and love trying new products. So when I saw the new vitamin infused lip balm from Covergirl I had to buy one 🙂 This color is called “Soda” and it looks bright red in the tube. Once you put it 0n though it’s a lot more muted down. It’s a lovely berry shade that is pretty similar to my natural lip color. It’s super moisturizing and lightweight.  

 

How I Met Your Mother HIM As I’ve said before, I’m not a huge TV person. But, this show is pretty cute! A few months back I was super sick, it was 3 am and I couldn’t sleep. So, I turned on Netflix knowing I wanted something that would put a smile on my face. I have only watched about 6-ish episodes, but really am enjoying it! It’s cute, funny, not confusing and not an hour long! Which is perfect for someone like me who has a hard time focusing/sitting still for an hour long show.

 

Music I have discovered some amazing songs lately! I want to do posts on songs that I love, make me happy, etc.. soon! 

Youth by Troye Sivan – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYAghEq5Lfw I love this song so much!! It makes me so happy! It has a super catchy beat and it makes me want to go on an adventure to somewhere I’ve never been. 

T-Shirt by Thomas Rhett – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VVtOIzPg9Q I heard this song on the radio the other day and have been obsessed ever since. I’m not a huge country music fan, however my family loves it. So, I hear a lot of it from them. This song had me dancing the first time I heard it. It’s fun and super cute. Totally a spring break jam 🙂

 

THIS I cannot express how much I love this quote/post I saw on Instagram. I loved it so much I screen-shotted it. I rediscovered it on my camera roll the other day and fell back in love with it. It hits home so much. I hope to share more of my story in the future, but to be vague, I haven’t always had the healthiest relationship with food. I’ve come a long way and am still making strides. I just want you to know that food shouldn’t be feared. Guilt and food have ZERO correlation. 

 

 Well kids, that’s all she/I wrote for this week Hopefully you enjoyed reading. See you guys soon ❤  

Question Time:

Have you ever watched How I Met Your Mother?

What’s one song you’ve been loving recently? I love finding new songs!
