OZ Naturals Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Professional Moisturizing Serum Review

So OZ Naturals has nice again given me the opportunity to test one of their products!! This time it was a Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum which is supposed to professionally moisturize skin.
 It has the same applicator as the last bottle of OZ Naturals I got! Tiny turkey basters for everyone!! Ahem.. Anyway bad jokes aside it does allow even distribution of the serum. The serum itself is very very thick this time with the intention of only gently rubbing into skin.

The directions go...
"Apply a thin layer of serum over desired area. Allow the serum to dry and apply your favorite moisturizer."
It's intention is to drive your moisturizer deeper into the skin. I will be blatantly honest I had high expectations since I just absolutely loved the first OZ Naturals product I tried. But I didn't really find this solution to live up to it's cousin.. There wasn't as much of a noticeable difference in my face, in fact things started to deteriorate back to where they were before I used anything on my face.
After looking more into this product and what exactly hyaluronic acid is I dicsovered something rather interesting... Hyaluronic Acid is something we produce naturally, especially in our joints and our eyes. It's use has been approved as medication for joint disorders and in use after certain eye surgeries. It is predominantly ingested or injected into the patient so I'm curious if it is even able to be absorbed through my skin... There are myths that it is this magical serum that will prevent aging... However there is no scientific proof at this time and I am less then convinced.

OZ Naturals has impressed me in the past and I still trust them as a consumer, however this product really wasn't for me (Maybe my skin is just too thick- who knows!) I plan to continue to use the serum until it's gone just in case it takes a few weeks to really notice skin improvement!

If anyone else gets the chance to try this product I really want to know how it works for them!! It can be bought here on Amazon!!

GlamST iOS Review

I was given the opportunity to test out a new app thanks to Brand Backer it's called GlamST for iOS, it's currently only available for Apple products but I think they are planning to expand into the other markets as well.

Link to the app can be found here and the glamST website here.


It starts off fairly basic, I shot a selfie of myself and it allowed me to adjust the settings. It was fairly good at picking facial features, the lips were the only one I had to manually adjust.

They want to know all the details!
 They had tons of styles to choose from!
 I decided to go trendy first for my look- there were so many options to choose from!
 The "before" and "after" option was really neat, just slide the white line found on the left side of the screen over to get your desired division.
 Next up I gave edgy a try... You know what? I don't hate it
 Now time for some glamour in my life. I like the lipstick on this one!

The hipster one came out a bit goth...

















Now the part that makes this app awesome!! The far left option on the bottom of the screen is where you can purchase the makeup that you've tried on!! And it'll give you a total price for your possible order.

The lightbulb button gives you some inspiring faces to look at.

The middle red button allows you to share on social media

The moon/sun button allows you to adjust for night and day

And the final little person on the right is your account options.







This app was a lot of fun and really easy to use! It's a neat way to experiment with new makeup before actually buying it, because no one likes a full makeup cabinet with nothing they like!

Once again the link to the app is here and their website for more info on this neat innovation is here
