Youth Express Eye Serum Review

Recently I've been blessed by BrandBacker and InstaNatural  to test a variety of InstaNatural products. 




Being that I'm entering my early 40's
 (shhh don't tell anyone, they all think I'm 29) 
I'm very interested in products that can help keep my eyes wrinkle free and looking good. I loved how smooth, and radiant this serum made my eyes look. Even though there is a slight citrus smell and orange tint neither lasts very long, nor is bothersome. 

InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Serum is made in the USA, not tested on animals, and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee! It retails for $21.95 on the InstaNatural website! 
As with the other products I've tested a little bit goes a long way so the bottle should last you awhile. 
I did notice brightening under my eyes, and less puffiness. My use of it varied from twice a day, to one a day, sometimes morning, other times night. It worked well with all other products, and I did not have any adverse reactions which I sometimes do with my very sensitive skin. 

Below is a wealth of information on this wonderful product! 

(click above to be taken to products page) 
  • Powerhouse Formula – With a combination of Vitamin C, Plant Stem Cells, Astanxanthin, Kojic Acid, Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acid and more, our Eye Serum is uniquely formulated with innovative key ingredients to help you achieve results.
  • Lightweight Yet Effective – Our serum is lightweight so it absorbs easily into the skin to quickly deliver antioxidant benefits, and it can be used under makeup as well. Each bottle is made in our FDA registered facility and contains no harmful parabens, sulfates or alcohol.
  • Diminishes Dark Circles & Puffiness – Some people grab a cup of coffee in the mornings to keep them alert and active. Now you can apply a dosage of caffeine around your eyes to help wake them up too! Caffeine provides a stimulating constricting effect that helps to reduce puffy, tired-looking eyes. Meanwhile, Niacinamide and Kojic Acid work to prevent pigmentation from forming to lighten and fade away those stubborn dark circles.
  • Reduces Wrinkles & Fine Lines – Other ingredients in our blend – such as Vitamin C, Plant Stem Cells, and Astaxanthin – serve to strengthen skin and reverse existing damage, while Hyaluronic Acid locks in moisture to help plump up skin and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Our Eye Serum contains a supercharged blend of antioxidants and other nourishing ingredients that help restore health & youth to the eye area:
  • Vitamin C / Plant Stem Cells / Astaxanthin: Prevents premature aging of the fragile skin surrounding the eyes
  • Caffeine: Absorbs excess water and provides constricting effect
  • Niacinamide / Kojic Acid: Inhibits hyperpigmentation from forming
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Deeply moisturizes the skin to reduce skin problems that occur due to age
Our serum absorbs in seconds to quickly deliver these nutrients that help give you dramatic results:
  • Reduces appearance of dark circles, puffiness & saggy eyes
  • Diminishes the appearance of wrinkles & fine lines
  • Increases elasticity, firms and plumps the skin around eyes
  • Provides improved tone and texture of skin
  • Hydrates the delicate eye area to prevent premature aging
  • Helps you achieve a more radiant, brighter complexion
With InstaNatural, rest assured you will receive the best customer care and highest-quality Eye Serum around.

Product Review: INSTANATURAL VITAMIN C MOITUTURIZER




Thanks to BRANDBACKER and INSTANATURAL I've been given the opportunity to test and review Youth Express Vitamin C Moisturizer. 

I love the idea of natural skin products, at an affordable price.
 INSTANATURAL products were developed by focusing on using premium organic and natural ingredients. They are paraben, sulfate and alcohol free, and are made in the USA!  InstaNatural offers a range of beauty products focused on using natural and organic ingredients. 



I've been using this moisturizer now for a couple of weeks in conjunction with a few other INSTANATURAL products that I will be reviewing very soon. Due to the fact that I have very sensitive skin I was anxious, yet excited to try it. One of the first things I noticed was how soft and moisturized it left my face looking rite after I put it on. It wasn't oily, or greasy, and didn't have a heavy smell to it. This time of year with the cold Minnesota air, and the dry indoor heat my skin is very dry and tends to get flaky. I've notices  that I haven't had that problem at all the past couple weeks. I've also notices since using this and other products in this line that my skin appears brighter and the frown line on my forehead seems less noticeable 


Some key info on this wonderful product .... 


  • Strong 20% Vitamin C Protection - Our moisturizer contains a robust 20% concentration of Vitamin C to help deliver the best results to your skin. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant agent that protects your skin from the damaging effects of sun exposure, all while restoring healthier skin. Daily application will help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and more.
  • Brightens Complexion - If you're concerned about age spots, sun spots, or splotchy skin, then our Vitamin C Moisturizer might be the perfect fit for you. Our formula includes Niacinamide, Plant Stem Cells, Peptide Complex and MSM, which all work together to deliver deep nourishment to strengthen skin over time and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation, thereby creating a more even skin tone.
  • Can Be Used On Body and For Eye Area - This lotion is not just for the face. Feel free to apply this soothing cream to any place that needs extra nourishment, including hands, shoulders and décolleté. Can also be applied gently around the eye area to tackle dark spots and help you achieve brighter eyes.
  • Suitable for All Skin Types - Both men and women will benefit from using this day and night moisturizing lotion jam packed with anti-aging ingredients. Our moisturizer has been formulated to be suitable for all skin types as well. Those with oily, dry, combination or normal skin can enjoy this lightweight cream.
  • Manufacturer Guarantee - InstaNatural is proud to back their products with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee Policy, no matter where you buy our products. If you are not completely happy with your purchase, simply contact us and get a full refund.

    While I did receive a complimentary bottle to try and review the thoughts and opinions in this post are my own. 

    Overall, I am happy with the product, and like the fact that it offers a money back guarantee for anyone who is not. Retail price is $19.95 which is a GREAT deal since you need so little.I use a pea size amount which usually covers my entire face.And a bit more if I am wanting to do my neck and de'collete' area.

Lily's Road To Recovery ~ Please Help

Let's call today Friendly Friday shall we! 
(any of the purple words in this post will take you directly  to Lily's GoFundMe page)  

Today I'm writing to you about my friend Nicole and her daughter Lily

Last June Lily was severely injured in a horse riding accident.  Some of the injuries included a ruptured spleen, tear in her liver, broken rip, concussion and much more! Now, seven months later Lily has found out that a break in her femur completely severed her Peroneal nerve. She's been unable to walk, uses a wheelchair for long distances, and rely's on crutches for short. She also hops and crawls as a way to get where she needs to go. 

Prior to her accident Lily was a very happy, active and energetic young lady. She played sports, was in competitive dance and was also a cheer leader. 

Lily ~ Competitive Dance

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Lily ~ Cheer Leading♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

As you can imagine this has taken it's toll on Lily. The young girl who was so bubbly, full of self esteem and out going is now depressed. She is in constant pain, can't think past her injuries and feels her dreams of going on to College to become a Doctor are now unattainable. Her Mom is one of her biggest cheer leaders, and has fought to get her seen at the Mayo Clinic. The great news there is that Mayo has decided to take on Lily's case  and do a very complicated nerve graft surgery in hopes that Lily will be able to walk again. 

This much needed surgery brings hope to Lily and her family, but will also bring many uncovered expenses. Gas, lodging, lost wages, food while traveling, etc. 

Lets all band together and do what we can to support Nicole in her fight to get Lily the care she needs, and Lily in her fight to walk again and regain hope that her dreams can and will come true! 

No amount is too small. It all adds up, and every penny helps. If you can't help monetarily, please share Lily's story either via her GOFUNDME page, or this blog post. I know this family will appreciate every and anything you can do for them. 


****If you are one of my readers, you donate at least $5 to Lily's cause please come back and leave me a comment to let me know. 
In two weeks I will add the names to a giveaway for a pair of my fingerless gloves in your choice of black, white, or grey.
