I am a follower of a few nieche beauty brands on twitter, and couldnt pass up the opportunity when offered by Mira's Hand to try their product.
I was given Mira's Hand 100% pure Argan oil.
To be honest, i had tried other brands of moroccan type argan oil, and was fairly pleased with the results, so was happily surprised with the difference that is Mira's Hand Argan oil.
For starters, Mira's Hand is 100% argan oil, no silicons, no dimethicones, no added fragrance etc, no added extra anything.
It comes in a dark glass bottle with dropper, unlike the other brands which have pumps, so you only use very little product each time, basically, you only need about 3 drops if that.
I tried it in a number of different ways:
First, as a skin moisturizer, 2 drops after my cleanser and spray toner, and patted it into my skin. My skin felt moisturized, but not oily, and I didnt experience any breakouts with it either.
You can also mix it into moisturizer, or use it as a serum before moisturizer.
I used it as a hair serum, just smoothing it over fly aways.
You can also add it to hair treatments., or just use it straight onto the scalp (mine gets irritated and red quite a bit) and it wont make your hair look dank and oily.
I mixed it with lip balm to soothe cracked lips.
I also used it neat on my lips without any problems on the cracked skin.
Mixed well with cuticle cream for dry nails and hands.
Tried on some rough patches of skin on my arm, and it felt a lot smoother afterwards.
I added a couple of drops into my foundation, so the foundation looked a bit more dewey.
I mixed it with mineral foundation to turn it into a concealer for the eye area...YES, in the eye area, the most sensitive area of my face, and no problems at all.
I mixed it with powder blush to make a cream blush.
Also mixed it with lipstick to make a treatment lippie.
I also used it to make cream eye shadow. Again, no eye irritation.
I tried it on a few cuts on my skin to soothe, again...all good.
This is a great all rounder product, all natural, without added nasties.
Would I buy it...YES I WOULD!!!

Collagen Crystal Eyelid patch review


These came as a freebie, when i purchased Bare Minerals foundation a few weeks ago from Amazon.
You apply them directly under the eye, and leave for about 30minutes.
They contain a number of moisturizing and soothing ingredients such as allantoin, vitamin E, grape seed oil, aloe extract, camomile, cucumber extract, rose and lavender essential oils. The main idea of t is to have the ingredients absorb really quickly into the skin thru the eye patch contact.
The de-wrinkling ingredients are glycerin, and soy protein.
If you had really sensitive eyes, you might find the eye patch is a bit too much.
After about 10 minutes, my eyes started to feel a little "warm" but it didnt irritate my eyes.
