My Review:  For decades I have heard about the wonders of jojoba enriched shampoos and conditioners.  Having tried those before, I did note that I liked those shampoos and conditioners with jojoba oil.  I have since liked the ability to purchase my own jojoba oil and add it to whatever product I desire, such as shampoos, conditioners and lotions.  Of course, just using jojoba oil plain and pure without any added ingredients is very beneficial too. I use this as a make-up remover, and apply to face every night and morning.

Today, I decided to try something new.  I'm all out of my go-to lotion and was debating about purchasing some more when I had the opportunity to review Foxbrim's large 4 ounce bottle of golden colored Jojoba oil.


This is the recipe I used:
1/4 c. coconut oil (not fractionated)
1/8 c. cocoa butter
1/8 c. shea butter

Heat until melted in a double boiler.

Add:
1 Tbs. aloe vera gel
1 tsp. Jojoba oil
1 tsp. Rose Hip Seed Oil
1 tsp. Vitamin E Oil

Mix well and refridgerate 1 hour.  Then add 10-15 drops of your favorite essential oil.  Whip or mix with a blender or food processor.  Refrigerate again.  Will be semi-soft when using, but I've never had issues with this being greasy on my body once absorbed, which is quick, like just a couple of minutes.  My skin feels very hydrated and soft.  My husband even said my skin felt much softer and he even thought the lines around my eyes looked smoother. Yes!


I also just dyed my hair over the weekend, and it feels dryer than normal.  I added a small amount on my already dyed, washed, and dried hair.  It now shines, feels soft and no frizzies, and that's after being out in the high humidy (80%) prior to a big rain storm.  I'm going to add some of this wonderful jojoba oil to my husband's shampoo.  He doesn't like to use conditioners and I like his hair soft and silky.

I was very impressed that Foxbrim offered such a large 4 ounce bottle when so many other companies offer half that for the same price or more.  This is a great deal. Even though I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion, I really do like Foxbrim's products, and their Jojoba oil is amazing.

Pros:  Love everything about this oil for my skin and hair.  Great 4 oz. size bottle.

Cons:  None.

My Rating:  A Big Thumbs Up!!!

Vitamin C Serum with Vitamin E & Hyaluronic Acid

Details:  Joyal Beauty Super Brightening Vitamin C Serum is enriched with Vitamin E, Hyaluronic Acid, and a lot of other great ingredients.  Some of those include Aloe, Witch Hazel, Glycerin, and Jojoba Oil.  After washing and toning your face, apply a small amount of serum to your face morning and night.  Follow up with moisturizer.

This Vitamin C Serum is a powerful concentrated delivery system for the highest form of active, stabilized, bio-available Vitamin C boosting collagen production and increasing elasticity and firmness. It is also enriched with vitamin E, ferulic acid, pure vegan hyaluronic acid and many anti-aging formulas to plump skin cells and restore cells. You will see positive results after 4 weeks of continual use.  Your skin will glow, sun spots will fade, wrinkles will be reduced, your skin will be more moisturized.

Review:  I have tried several different types of Vitamin C Serums.  Some with and without the hyaluronic acid.  I must be allergic to that.  Almost every product I use with hyaluronic acid in it, my face breaks out big time.  Despite that, I do know that the other ingredients in Joyal Beauty's serum are great for skin.  This is a newly launched product on Amazon.

This is the first Vitamin C Serum that came with a spray pump, rather than a dropper.  I personally do not like the spray pump.  I can't spray it directly on my face without it going everywhere I don't want it.  I do spray it into my palm and then rub on with my fingers.  I also noticed that this serum is thinner than the other serums I have used, and I just figured it was to get it to go through that pump spray without clogging it up.

Despite those cons, I find I don't like to use this on my face, but applying it to my hands and feet where I have spider veins has been helpful. I have noticed a reduction in the sun spots on my hands. I also don't need to apply lotion as often to my hands.

Pros:  If you prefer a spray pump vs. a dropper this one is for you.  Has other added ingredients that benefit skin.

Cons:  I personally do not like the spray pump.  Don't like how thin the product is, compared to other Vitamin C serums I've tried in the past.

My Rating:  Thumbs Up & Down.  Biggest complaint is the spray pump.

Disclaimer:  I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
