EnvyDerm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper

As I get older I notice the collagen making a prompt exit from my lips leaving them looking lifeless and thin. The best way to combat thinning lips (or if you have thin lips to begin with) is to keep them hydrated and to use a lip plumper. When Read more

No3 Berry Face Oil Review

Can I use face oil if I have combination skin? Of course you can, simply avoid pore-clogging oils and use only the ones intended to moisturize your face. L.A. Christine's No3 Berry Face Oil is comprised of Lingonberry, raspberry and acai berry, yet smells of an herbally sweet concoction. High Read more

Verb Detangle+Defrizz Conditioning Leave-In Mist Review

To be completely up front about things, I hate washing my hair because it's a nightmare to comb afterwards.  It’s much like that of a 6 year old little girl. It tangles like nobody’s business and is a nightmare to comb after washing. It’s so bad that my hairdresser Read more

Review: Darshan Beauty Luna P.M. Creme and Multani Mud Facial Mask

Darshan Beauty was a company I had never heard of before, so I was intrigued when it’s owner, Jodi, contacted me. I quickly read her bio to learn more about the company and products. Her background and what lead her up to create Darshan Beauty products is really quite interesting.

Darshan Beauty products are all natural, and because of this, they are only made in small batches to prevent them from spoiling.

Luna P.M. Creme

This thick night cream is made with aloe leaf oil and extract combined with noncomedogenic sesame oil. I can’t say it is fragrance free, because there is some scent to it. However, it appeared to be the natural scent of the ingredients and not any added fragrance.

While this Creme is meant for all skin types, I was a little worried at first because of how touchy my skin can be; dry in certain parts and very oily in others. The Creme was not greasy, and although it was thick, it glided quite effortlessly across my skin. It was quick to absorb and I was so thrilled to notice just how soft this creme made my skin feel.

Multani Mud Facial Mask

I think the best part of spa time is doing a mask. It is only recommended to use this mask one to two times per week. This mud is made from Bastar mud in India, purified and then saturated with herbal extracts. It is thick and makes your skin feel excellent. My 4 year old enjoyed watching me put this mask on, as he found it quite amusing to watch a 32 year woman play in the mud. I overheard him tell his brothers that mom had mud on her face and when they asked him why, he replied, “Because it is for beauty, don’t you know that?”

It is hard to explain, but there was such a difference in my skin when I rinsed off the mud. My skin just appeared to look fresher and vibrant and dare I saw, glowing? The mask was my favorite part of trying these products. I think it will be one I cannot live without.

Please be sure to check out all of the products Darshan Beauty has to offer, I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed. www.darshanbeauty.com
