I won the L'essential's Rhodiola Toner & Cream and have not not gotten it yet, the deadline is the 29th for the review and I worry I won't have it in time to do the review.

Has this happened to anyone? If so, what happened?

Has anyone not received past giveaway products?

🎁 I was selected to be an early reviwer for Rovectin Lotus Water Calming toner. Thank you Rovectin for giving me the opportunity to try this product in exchange for an honest review.

Let’s begin!

🐰 This product is cruelty free and vegan, which is always a plus, and has no fragrance! BONUS!

📦 Packing: Product comes in a simple clear 6.8 fl oz bottle. The bottle has an easy to peel product sticker which makes the bottle easy to recycle.

🍃 Key ingredients: Lotus flower water, allantoin, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid, citric acid, and butylene glycol.

🌊 Texture: Clear, watery, and light weight. The product absorbs quickly into the skin, and when it dries down isn’t tacky or sticky. 

🤔 My Experience: The toner is very light weight and incredibly gentle. Guys, I DID NOT BREAK OUT nor did this product irritate my skin! Every time I used it my skin was just glowing. ☺️ The product layers quite well and pairs nicely with the products in my morning routine. YAY!

Pro tip: Use this product with a vitamin C serum along with your sunscreen and you will get such a beautiful glow. 🌟

⚠️ Would I recommend this product: Yes, I absolutely would as it is gentle and would work well with most skin types.

The product launches today!

Full disclosures, the Greens Cleansing Balm does contain orange and bergamot oil which can cause irritation.

The consistency in the tub reminds me a lot of gelato or shaved ice. But when it goes onto the skin, it melts on the and then spreads with ease. A little goes a long way and you do not need a lot of product. This balm easily melted my sunscreen. I have used it once since and it dissolves a full face, mascara included as well. When washing the face with water, it washes off with little effort and there is no residue left on the skin.

There is a scent, but it&#39;s very pleasant - like a lime creamsicle, and not it is not an overwhelming scent. Full disclosures, the Greens Cleansing Balm does contain orange and bergamot oil which can cause irritation. I have acne prone skin, and this did not further break out.

As a note, this product is cruelty free.  

I cannot recommend this product enough

Honestly I cannot say enough good things. ;)

I got a little mini of the Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer for my birthday. I got this moisturizer to try because I am on Differin and use peels to try to help treat my acne. I really need something to help soothe my skin on the days where it&#39;s really red and inflamed.

The lips in oats can help to restore your skin&#39;s lipid barrier. Oats also contain antioxidants that can help to scavenge free radicals that damage the skin and then help to restore it! Oats also contain Beta Glucans that can help your skin to hold onto moisture (which is great for me since I live in the desert) Lastly, oats can help balance the Ph of your skin, and if you have acne like me, Ph balance is important. 

The texture is so bouncy, lightweight, spreads onto the skin like butter but dries quickly!

The product is described as &quot;non-comedogenic and fragrance-, paraben- alcohol-, dye- and phthalate-free.&quot; I will be rebuying this when I run out of the mini.

As a note, Aveeno is not vegan but does state they do not test on animals except when required by law.

✨Review time!✨

I was kindly selected in the Picky Giveaway to test out the L&#39;essential Rhodiola set, which includes the L&#39;essential Rhodiola Triple Cream and the First Toner. I Wanted to thank @lessential.global and @go.picky for the opportunity to review these products.

✨L&#39;essential Rhodiola Triple Cream: 

Texture: This product is 💯 Non scented. It&#39;s an airy, but quite rich with a thick consistency. It can easily be used day and night. However, since it&#39;s thick, it may be better to use as a night time moisturizer.

🍃 Key ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, adenosine, centella asiatica extract, and rhodiola extract.

🤔 My experience: I used this product night and day. I love how it&#39;s unscented and It&#39;s easy to spread on my skin, the product is not heavy.  It is a bit thick and tacky, but I  had no issues with this product what-so-ever, so I think it may be safe for most skin types. I will continue to use this until the product is gone and may reorder!

4.5&#47;5: I would recommend this. Size is quite generous 2.7 FL oz for $40. USD

I wanted to share my review for the Pure&#39;am Authentic Barrier Cream Balm. I wanted to thank @go.picky and @pure.am_official for the opportunity to review this product. I also really love the sweet handwritten note, that really made me feel the love!

The Authentic Barrier Cream is certified vegan and cruelty free.

Packaging: Outer packaging is very sleek and made with recyclable material and soy ink, which I appreciate a brand who tries to be environmentally conscious. 

Key Ingrediets: Glycerin, Shea butter,  Caprylic trigrlyceride, Squalane, Jojoba seed oil, Ceramide NP, Sodium Hyulronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Propendiol

Texture: The authentic barrier cream thicker buttery cream, so it is great for a PM  moisturizer. It spreads easily and melts into the skin. Just as a note, there is a chemically scent to the product.

My experience: This cream balm is quite hydrating. While testing this product my skin did not break out, yay! I live in one of the largest cities in the US that has high levels of pollution, and having a cream that is chock full of ingredients that help my skin fight that while also being very hydrating is fantastic. Additionally, the weather is finally transitioning into fall here in the desert, which means dry skin all over my body. I used this balm on my elbows and it helped with my cracked skin heal.

Would I recommend this product, yes! 4.5&#47;5.

2.7 FL OZ goes for $37 on Puream&#39;s website
