Petunia Skincare Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit...


Petunia Skincare
Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit
Comes with travel pouch.
Also comes with brush guards which is a really nice bonus.
(can I also say a silly little yay for the damask on the box?  I loveeee the damask print on things.  Would have been awesome on the bag too <3 )

On sale for 37.77 on Amazon currently.


Here is what it says on Amazon:

This is the travel case rolled up.
I will say this smelled unpleasant, it had that new smell to it.  It just needed to air out a bit.  I do think it looks very sleek and lovely though, better than some I've had that's for sure.


Here are what the brushes look like, and this is what is included:

  • Powder brush
  • Blush brush
  • Foundation brush
  • Eyeshadow brush
  • Smudge brush
  • Fan brush
  • Concealer brush
  • Eyebrow blush
  • Eyeliner blush
  • Sponge applicator
  • Lip brush
  • Spoolie brush

I've been using these a lot, I really love the eye brushes the best.   Perfect.  Also the retractable lip brush, that's perfect too, I've been using a lot of lip products that need a brush lately so this is always great to have, specially one that is retractable or with a lid, so that way if you did really need to you can take it with in your purse.

I also love the pink and black of these brushes together.   That pink just pops, and I love it.  They're also super soft, and just lovely.   I did mentioned earlier that these came with brush guards so another nice bonus to be included, I've actually never had them before and I'm glad to try them too.

What do you think of the brushes?  Have you tried this brand?  Or these brushes?  Or do you have any other brush sets to suggest?

Petunia Skincare Derma Roller, Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Revitalize Eye Serum...


Petunia Skincare
Professional Hyaluronic Acid Serum.
Step One.

1 fl oz.
On sale for 24.77 on Amazon.

Here is what Amazon says:
  • HYALURONIC ACID IS WIDELY KNOWN AS THE "FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH"! Petunia Skincare's Professional Hyaluronic Acid Serum, made with the highest quality vegan-free and cruelly-free hyaluronic acid, is the ultimate anti aging and anti wrinkle solution to give you that dewy, elastic, and youthful boost in your skin. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture and water into your skin to help you achieve plump, soft, and tight skin. Fine lines, crows feet and wrinkles are filled in.
  • OUR SERUM WORKS! As we age, the hyaluronic acid content in our body naturally decreases, and as a result we must build more hyaluronic acid back into the body either through orally or topically. Our serum has been tested thoroughly and has been proven to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen.
  • PREMIUM FORMULATION! Hyaluronic acid is the key ingredient in this serum, and we have combined two very important antioxidants: Vitamin C, and Ferulic Acid into our formulation. Hyaluronic acid is responsible for retaining moisture giving you skin's youthful elasticity and plumpness by trapping water in your skin. Vitamin C helps prevent aging of the skin by speeding cell regeneration, repairing free radical damage, and stimulating collagen. Ferulic acid protects the skin by neutralizing free radicals from UVA/UVB rays which would otherwise cause premature aging in the skin.
  • BEST NATURAL AND ORGANIC INGREDIENTS - 100% CRUELTY FREE! We use only vegan, and cruelty-free formulations containing natural/organic active ingredients. No parabens, no sulfates, no gluten, no alcohol, no phthalates, and absolutely no animal testing. Our serum is made in the USA in our advanced FDA registered facility.
  • MANUFACTURER GUARANTEE - Petunia Skincare backs their products with a 90 days 100% Money Back Guaranteee - even if the bottle is empty! Try it RISK-FREE!
Petunia Skincare
Derma Roller

540 Needles 1.00MM
On sale for 18.77 on Amazon.

Here is what Amazon says:
  • GET TIGHTER, AND FIRMER SKIN! Recommended by The Doctors, the derma roller is the best and convenient alternative to popular cosmetic surgical procedures. The dermaroller has proven to stimulate collagen production, accelerate skin regeneration, build up pitted acne scars, reduce wrinkles, fade stretch marks, and cellulite! By derma rolling, you are essentially stimulating collagen in an area where there may not be any collagen productivity. This is great for acne scar removal.
  • GUARANTEED RESULTS OR YOUR MONEY BACK! Manufacturer's Guarantee: All Petunia Skincare products are backed up with a 90 Day, No Questions Asked, Money-Back Guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, simply contact us and we will give you a full refund. Our #1 priority is your satisfaction. We are a premium skincare line dedicated to providing customers with products that yield results with no hype included. Visit petuniaskincare.com for more info!
  • HIGHEST QUALITY MEDICAL GRADE STAINLESS STEEL! Petunia Skincare 540 Derma Roller is made with the highest quality surgical stainless steel available. Our stainless steel needles are medical grade, the same kind that doctors, surgeons, tattooists, and acupuncturists use! Don't waste money on cheap quality derma rollers made with titanium on the market. Stainless steel offers the least reactions to the skin. Think about it, would a surgeon ever use a titanium scalpel blade, or would a tattooist use a titanium needle? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
  • THE ULTIMATE ANTI-AGING DEVICE FOR ALL YOUR SKINCARE PRODUCTS! Our micro needle roller is the best compliment for all your skincare products such as serums, creams, and gels. Microneedling allows ingredients to be absorbed faster because pores are opened from the epidermis to the dermis layer. This tool is great to use with our Hyaluronic Acid Serum, and Vitamin C Serum. It is also compatible to use with cellulite and stretch mark creams, scar gels and hair regrowth treatments. Our microneedle roller can be used alone or with products.
  • DERMA ROLLING WORKS! The skin naturally regenerates itself approx. every 28 days. With derma rolling you can encourage skin regeneration, meaning you are building new skin. This is great with lightening acne scars, dark spots and age spots as it can speed up the pace in which new skin is made to help blend to its surrounding skin. This tool will help build up dimply cellulite and stretch marks on the skin through collagen and elasticity production. Hair regrowth relies on genes that promote the growth of hair cells. The most important chemical needed in the body to promote new hair cells is human growth factor. Scientists suggest derma rolling can stimulate human growth factor. As the needles create holes along the hair line, it inflicts minor injury. Now the body must work to produce new skin the area that injured and release human growth factor and other chemicals that aid in the regrowth of thinning hair.
Petunia Skincare
Revitalize Eye Serum
Step Three.

0.51 fl oz.

I must say I am new to the world of Derma rollers.   And admittedly they scared me to start with, needles in my face?  Well that doesn't sound like a good time.   But once I did it, I realized it didn't hurt, feels a little pin pricky but not painful at all.  So yay for that <3
I will say that I also didn't realize derma rollers were useful in getting rid of scarring?  News to me.  Also cellulite?   I do have some cellulite cream I recently got I may use this in conjunction with that also.   
And of course getting tighter firmer skin, yes please.
It comes in a clear plastic case too, which I appreciate very much.

The Hyaluronic acid serum feels really nice to put on, and it doesn't have any kind of a offensive order.  I can't quite place what it smells like, my brain wants to say ginger and floral which is an odd combination so idk if I'm going to trust my nose entirely on that one lol

The revitalizing eye serum was a color I wasn't expecting, almost a hue lighter than orange juice.   Not that it matters what color it is, just one of those surprising tidbits I wasn't expecting, and no offensive odor here either, I honestly can't seem to smell anything with it.

These are all products I fully intend to keep using and I think I'll be working the derma roller in with other products as well (like the cellulite cream).   They do sell another size derma roller as well, which now I am also curious about.   And in case anyone was wondering what Step Two is (the two products ion the box say Step One and Step Two) it's a Vitamin C Serum which I do not have, or I'd have photographed it and mentioned it too.

So has anyone else ever tried a derma roller?  Thoughts?  What did you think of it?  Anything else you use it with?

Sorry this shot is just with my phone but I wanted to show the actual product.  
It's a interesting product, started hard and stiff and you need to soak it to make it softer and usable.

I really like using this on my face.  Like I said in one of my previous posts I'm for anything that can help exfoliate specially in the winter.  I think I prefer using this on my face as oppose to the other one, a bit more user friendly.  This is currently hanging in my shower.  I like that it came with the little suction hook, makes it even more user friendly, since no one wants to get out of the shower to get this if they forgot to grab it before hand lol

Exfolimate Face And Body Exfoliation...


Exfolimate
Face And Body Exfoliation

2 Piece Exfoliator Tool Set.

This comes with two of the tools.  One is for face (the smaller one), and the larger one is for body.

They do have long cords that loop thru the hole on the bottom tip, and that way you can hang them in your bathroom and/or in the shower.  That's where mine have been living hanging in the bathroom.

I think they're a little tricky to learn to use at first, kind of have to get it at the right angle, and be careful not to be too hard with it, since it could hurt if you weren't careful.  Wouldn't like draw blood (even though they look like they could lol) but just like sore.

Also there are how to videos on the website, which I linked at the top of the post, that's helpful too.

In the winter I am all for more things that can exfoliate, I get such dry dry skin.  So I'm glad to have these to use, specially on my legs.  Thumbs up.

Another nice warranty on these.  I see now that they have gray ones with pink detailing, I wish I'd gotten those, they look so adorable. 

These work really well, I've been using them with my phone.

Sorry this action shot (if you will) wasn't actually outside in the snow but I didn't want to take my good camera outside the other day. 

I really like these, they're very warm, which is a necessity in Minnesota (as you can see from some of those temperatures.).

But I can't say enough good things about them, they're great.  And if you live somewhere you're going to need gloves, well you can never have too many pairs of gloves.  I know I have a tendency to leave them in different jackets and hoodies, so I have quite a few pairs myself.
