Fresh Face with Evian Mineral Water Spray

 Hey Diva's and my fabulous Divo's so I have a great product that you are going to want to hear about. It is Evian Mineral Water spray. I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest review and you know I am going to give you my honest review. I have seen this product in Ulta and Sephora a few time and was very curious about this product. I often wondered was it even worth it. The first day it arrived I had to give it a try. Boy was I surprised as to how cooling it was to my face. It was like a breath of fresh air to my skin.
The spray comes in 3 different sizes. There is the 1.7oz, 5oz and 10.1oz size. The 1.7oz is ideal for travel and fits in with the guidelines of what you can travel with in terms of liquid sizes. When I went to look at price I could not find where they sold the travel size as a single. It was sold as a duo or trio ranging from $15-21.  For a 5oz size it was $12.50 and for the 10.1oz it was $18. I think if I was going to repurchase this product I would purchase either the duo great for every day use while I am outside or the 5oz which is a great bang for the buck for that size. Now you are probably saying why so much for water in a can? Think of all the other hydrating sprays you buy for your face. They are either made with a bunch of items you can not pronounce or they may have things in them that may not agree with you skin. This product is natural spring water. It is great for all skin types and can be used through out the day.
It is very simple to use whether it is before you apply your makeup or after you have been wearing your makeup for a few hours. If you are not a makeup wearer this still would be great. I checked out some of the reviews people left on both Ulta and Sephora.com Many said they like how it gave there face a wake me up. Some even used it to calm their hair down and others just liked that it took the perspiration away. I noticed on a very hot day here in Atlanta it was a nice refreshing feeling that calmed my skin.  It calmed my perspiration down and refreshed my makeup. I wear makeup daily to work so this was nice to refresh my makeup and hydrate my face.
I would start my day with a spray of the Evian Mineral Water spray and let it settle into my skin. From there I would go about my routine. I even used it in place of my fix plus to moisten my skin after I applied my LA girl pro concealer and then go in with my beauty blender to blend out my highlight. It worked great. Be sure to hold it a good distance away from your face. I made the mistake of it being to close and some of my concealer splashed up on my lids lol. Some where in the day I would give my face a spray just to freshen up my face. It always felt so good on my skin.
As you can see from the picture I held it a good distance away from my face and sprayed the water on my face. This is a product I would suggest especially in the hot months. When you are looking for some relief or to cool your skin down this is a great product. You don't just have to use it on your skin. You can use it on your hair also. I noticed what as I sprayed it on my face some of it got on my hair and my hair layed down nicely. If I had been wearing curly hair this would be great to have in my purse to calm down any frizz that I might have. You know that the heat and wind can definitely cause major frizz. You don't walk around with product to calm your hair around but you can walk around with this in your purse and give a quick spray and calm down frizzy hair.
I would recommend this product also for brides, especially summertime brides. You may say but why Diva? Well here is why. Evian mineral water spray is going to be great for calming down any perspiration you may have during the day(great if wedding is outdoors). It is also going to refresh your face so that it does not look dry. You will have a nice dewy look all over again. It is simple enough to use especially if you do not have a makeup artist around to freshen up your face or retouch you. The 1.7oz size is small enough to fit in a brides purse or bridal must have bag of items you are going to need whether before or after the ceremony.
Now I am going to be honest with you because this is my honest opinion is it a must have? do you need to buy? and my honest answer is no it is not a must buy or a must have but I can say after experiencing it and formulating my own thoughts on it I would repurchase it for all of the reasons I listed above. It had multipurpose uses for me. I live in the south where it is very hot during the summer months. I would use this especially if I was outside in the heat and wanted some relief from the heat. I find it safe enough to even use on my daughter to keep her skin cool or ta me her very curly hair. So even though it is not a must have why wouldn't you consider buying it for all the great reasons I told you it would be good for. Compare it to all the other hydrating sprays you may purchase you will find you are spending a lot less and you don't have to worry about it not agreeing with your skin because it is great for all skin types.
Well Diva's and Divo's that is all I have for you. Make sure you check out http://evianspray.com

Valentia Calming Mist Toner

Hey Diva's and Divo's so yes I know two blogs in one week from the same company. But I received this item right after the last one. This is the Valentia Fresh Mist Calming Toner. You get 4oz of product that is suitable for all skin types. It is alcohol free and paraben free. Their products are cruelty free. The toner is a "skin soothing elixir that rehydrates and refreshes, while balancing natural pH and shrinking pores."
The toner should be used after cleaning the face but before applying any serums. It can be used throughout the day to refresh the skin. The product feels absolutely amazing on the skin. It is refreshing to the skin and has a vitamin c smell. Not the fresh orange juice smell but the medicine kind of vitamin c smell. It is not offensive but it is not a scent that would make you think luxurious. 










The ingredients in this toner include:
  • nano structured water
  • witch hazel
  • vitamin c
  • ala + aha
  • tea tree oil
I have been using this product for some time now and I thoroughly enjoy how refreshed my skin feels and how quickly it absorbs into the skin. I like that you get 4oz of product versus 1oz like their serums. The price of this product was just $20 and I got it on amazon. I did receive this product for free in exchange for my honest review and the shipping was free because I have amazon prime.
I would definitely recommend this product. If feels great on the skin and can be use thru out the day to keep a fresh hydrated face. I have not used it while wearing makeup but I do use it thru out the day when I am not wearing makeup especially since it is very hot here in Atlanta.

Get Glowing Skin w/Valentia Pure Glow Moisturizer


Hey Diva's and Divo's so I am bringing you another great product from Valentia and it is their Pure Glow Moisturizer. First as a disclaimer I did receive this product for free in exchange for my hones review and I have been enjoying Valentia products since the first time I tried their detoxifying clay mask and this pure glow moisturizer has not been a disappointment. It feels luxurious on the skin. It does not leave your skin feeling sticky or oily at all. It is very moisturizing and absorbs will into the skin. It will definitely have your skin glowing.
After I follow my normal routine of cleaning my makeup off and cleansing my face I end with this moisturizer before I go to bed. I take one to two pumps of this product and rub all over my face and neck area. In the morning after washing my face I will apply before beginning my makeup routine. My face feels hydrated and healthy after each use.













Lets talk about the specks of this product. Unlike the serums I have shared with  you this product has  4.0 oz of product compared to their serums that only has 1.0oz of product. It is paraben free and suitable for all skin types. The product says it will:
  • lighten dark spots
  • restore radiance
  • even skin tone
  • diminish fine lines
  • provides all day hydration
The product contains Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Kojic Acid, Ginseng, Safflower Oil, and Shea butter. The Botanical Hyaluronic Acid is a plant based substance that helps to secure moisture and support skin elasticity. Kojic Acid is known for skin lightening and naturally controls melanin production and helps to prevent dark spots. Ginseng boost the skins collagen, fight wrinkles and gives the skin a brighter and more energized look. The safflower oil is rich in linoleic acid which is an essential fatty acid that helps to repair the skins natural moisture barrier and last the shea butter that provides moisture and hydrates the skin. All of these ingredients are definitely a reason to use this product.











The smell of the product is not like a flower scent or non scent. To me it smelled like their serums almost a bit citrusy in scent to me. Their products are cruelty free and has a 12 month shelf life. I have to give this product 4 out of 5 only because I wish it had a more luxurious scent to it and the bottle could use a more luxurious look to it to match the feel of this product.
