(Review) Reviva Labs Makeup Primer, Pomegranate/Lactic Acid Exfoliant & Vitamin E Stick

 
 I have not been feeling well these days so you will see my lack of posts lately. My body always feel tired somewhat these days, maybe because of constipation I am currently experiencing. I found my HG for constipation. I will be sharing it with you on later post this week or next. 

Now back to the review.

Reviva Labs has over 38 years experience in making all natural skin care products that help us achieve healthy and younger-looking skin. Natural skin care products are always better than the ones that contain chemical. We always have to use products that won't hurt our precious skin!

Want to know the different products I tried?

 My Thoughts
I love that this primer goes on my face smoothly. You just need a little bit to cover the entire face.This does a great job on filling away fine line before applying any makeup so your makeup won't look so cakey at all! The consistency is gel-like but a bit thicker. A little of this primer will go a long way. This is better than my ELF Mineral Primer because it didn't cause me to breakout! My BB cream stay on for almost 8 hours with this primer!

I think it is a great product for any skin type, even oily skin because it can control the excess oil that you have on your face. The price might be a bit high but it consists of natural ingredients and you just need a dot for each area you need to cover! This primer can really last me over six months before buying a new one! I definitely recommend this primer!

Before & After
My Thoughts
The lighting of the before and after pictures are different so it's hard to see the differences. I will try to tell you in words what I felt after applying the exfoliants. With the lactic acid and botanical extracts in the product, it effectively remove the dead skin on the skin make skin looking brighter and smoother. The product didn't irritate or cause any discomfort to my skin when using it. 

I love that it has pomegranate which can help fight with future skin damage! That's really considerate of Reviva Labs that they produce product for our future skin issue! It's better to prevent those skin damage now rather than starting late when you can see the real skin issue happening, right?

Don't worry, this product is paraben free and consist of no animal ingredients/no animal testing so it's definitely safe to use in any way! This product smells like plants and pomegranate! It's definitely a pleasant and fresh smell to me!

Even though the direction said it can be use 3-4 times weekly but I just stick with my routine of using it 1-2 times weekly. If you try it, you will definitely be amaze by the result this exfoliant can do! It's definitely in my recommendation of exfoliant products!

My Thoughts
This Vitamin E Oil Stick is definitely one of the lip balm I love. I have been in love with this product ever since receiving it to try! The fragrance is of course the smell of vitamin E! It smells exactly like the Vitamin E oil I bought from Trader Joe. The thing I love about this oil stick is it consist of SPF 15! A lot of lip balm product doesn't consist of that high SPF! It is also safe to use under the eye for extra miniaturization! If I am not in for my makeup that day, I would definitely use this under my eye for sun protection! 

Since this have beeswax, the moisture in the lip will lasts much longer than other lip balm. The oil stick does a great job as a lip balm and under eye protection! I would definitely recommend it to everyone since it is sold at a very affordable price!
