Camellias! (my ALL-TIME favourite flower :3)

Camellias are native to eastern and southern Asia, and the Himalayas east to Japan!!

They were named by Linnaeus, from the Latinised form of the surname of the botanist Georg Joseph Kamel!

They have a meaning of longing for someone, and this meaning comes from the 1848 Alexandre Duman novel, La dame aux camélias, which is a tragic love story following Armand Duval – a young bourgeois – and Marguerite Gautier (a prostitute). They fall in love, but their relationship is undermined by Armand’s father, who fears scandal. He convinces Marguerite to leave Armand, who believes she left him for another man. Meanwhile, she falls ill with consumption, and she dies alone, pining for Armand and what could have been.

To grow camellias, make sure to plant them in autumn or spring – they do best in an acid. They shrive in part shade (but camellia sasanqua will thrive in full sun once the roots have established), and can grow well in containers! You might find creamy-coloured swellings (galls) develop during summer in the place of leaves, but these cause little or no long-term damage to the plant. Make sure to remove and destroy the galls as soon as you spot them, especially before the bloom of spores develop on them (best to enclose the gall in a plastic bag before removing it).

By pressing the seeds of Camellia Oleifera and Camellia Japonica (and a few other species), you can make tea oil (a sweet seasoning and cooking oil). It’s used often in southern China! Camellia oil is also often used to clean/protect the blades of cutting instruments. Camellia oil from C. japonica (also called Tsubaki oil or Tsubaki-abura) is traditionally used in Japan for the sake of hair-care. As well, it can be used for anti-inflammatory medicines.

In witchcraft, this is one of the best money flowers! It brings riches and opens your heart to the abundance of the universe. Keeping a shrub in your garden should ensure riches (either material or spiritual) come your way and you’ll never be short of money. Its properties involve abundance/prosperity, and it’s under the Water element!

They can be paired with daffodils to show longing for an unrequited love, carnations to tell your mother you miss her, and zinnia as a gift for someone who is moving away.

To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.

This product contains 100 ml (3.38 oz) and has a light floral scent.

The spray comes in a sturdy, plastic spray bottle with a very fine mister.

The spray serum is extremely lightweight and very watery.

Once absorbed, it helps to plump and hydrate the skin.

Recommended use is immediately after cleansing your face, shake the product up and down 3-5 times to thoroughly mix the ingredients and then close your eyes. Hold the bottle 30 cm (about 12 inches) from the face and gently spray 4-5 times over the face and then gently pat skin to help absorption. After using, I really like the format of the serum, that there is mister and it feels more hygienic to me. This serum spray does have a fragrance, but it's very slight and I didn't notice any irritation from it. I noticed that it left my skin brighter and healthy. The ingredients are all very nourishing and I feel with long-term use they'll make a huge difference. The mist is very fine, I do personally prefer a much less fine mist, but it's very refreshing and great if that's your preference. This spray is also a multi-use product that can be used as a toner, serum, mist, setting spray, hair mist, and body mist. I'd recommend this to people with red and irritated skin as well as to most skin types.

What I like: the product is really lovely and it has a nice light floral scent. I enjoyed how healthy and dewy it made my skin look. It does a good job of brightening and hydrating. It's super refreshing as well and I really like the ingredients. It's great that can be used in multiple ways because it's a spray. What I don't like: nothing really, but avoid it if you have skin sensitivity to fragrance.

Pros:

Hydrating

Refreshing

Nourishing

Adds a healthy dewy glow

Soothing

Nice ingredients

Comes in mist format

High quality

Lovely light fragrance

Hygienic

Cons:

Fragrance

Would I buy again?

Yes

Price: $30

Claims: This primer creates the perfect canvas to allow powders, bronzers and foundations to airbrush onto the skin seamlessly and perfectly blended. Skin appears brighter, fresher and younger. Color stays true and in place all day.

DETAILS:

Virtually erases pores and imperfections

Creates a smooth, airbrushed canvas

Locks down makeup for fresher, longer, and more flawless wear

Helps smooth skin texture and minimize the appearance of fine lines over time

Ingredients:

Cyclopentasiloxane: Lightweight silicone with a silky, slippery feel that functions as a skin/hair conditioning agent.

Dimethicone Crosspolymer: Silicone derivative used as a stabilizing and suspending agent or as a thickener.

Dimethiconol: A silicone. This ingredient functions as a skin/hair conditioner, anti-foaming agent and emollient. Has a unique fluidity that makes it easily spreadable. When applied to the skin, its known for creating a subtle gloss that feels smooth and silky to touch. It also acts a mild water repellent by forming a protective barrier on the skin, and can fill in fine lines/wrinkles on the face, giving it a temporary “plump” look. Has ability to impart a non-greasy emollience that makes the skin/hair look smooth and silky. It's known to provide a less greasy feel than standard silicones without sacrificing any of its lubrication properties.

HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer: Anticaking Agent

Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer: Texture Enhancer and Silicone

Mica: Earth mineral included in products to give them sparkle and shine. The level and look of the shine mica provides depends on the color and how finely it’s milled. Mica's sheer, translucent and skin-hugging properties make it a popular ingredient in mineral powders. Mica powder reflects light from the face because of its glittering or shimmering properties, and can create the illusion of a smoother, softer and more radiant skin tone.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: Derived from coconut oil and glycerin, it’s considered an excellent emollient and skin-replenishing ingredient. It’s included in cosmetics due to its mix of fatty acids that skin can use to replenish its surface and resist moisture loss. Also function as a thickener, but its chief job is to moisturize and replenish skin. This ingredient’s value for skin is made greater by the fact that it’s considered gentle.

Phenoxyethanol: A glycol ether and bactericide (that functions as a disinfectant, antiseptic or antibiotic) that is primarily used as a preservative. It is also seen as a fragrance additive.

Ethylhexylglycerin: A synthetic skin-softening agent also used as a preservative, a carrier, or suspending agent for other preservatives such as phenoxyethanol.

PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil: Emollient ingredient that is a mixture of synthetic polyethylene glycol (PEG) with natural castor oil.The weight and size of this ingredient is too large to penetrate beyond skin’s surface, this type of emollient is needed on the surface to stop moisture loss and keep skin feeling soft.

Tocopheryl Acetate: Its substantiated benefits include enhancing the efficacy of active sunscreen ingredients, reducing the formation of free radicals from exposure to UV rays, promoting the healing process, strengthening the skin's barrier function, protecting the skin barrier's lipid balance, and reducing transepidermal water loss. Attributed with antioxidant, anti-aging, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and enhanced SPF properties, tocopherol acetate is valued both as a dietary supplement and skincare active. 

Retinyl Palmitate: A form of vitamin A that is used to promote natural cell turnover, elasticity, and suppleness and minimize the appearance of fine lines.

Polysorbate 80: A surfactant and emulsifier because of its ability to help other ingredients dissolve in a solvent in which they normally would not be able to dissolve. It can also help to reduce surface tension of substances that need to be emulsified.

PPG-26-Buteth-26: An alcohol-based conditioning agent and surfactant. Ability to restore the appearance of dry, damaged skin and hair by reducing flaking and improving suppleness. It is primarily considered an emulsifying agent with conditioning properties, but is also used as a fragrance ingredient and surfactant.

Allantoin: Highly regarded for its skin soothing, healing and keratolytic (ability to remove excess skin) properties. It helps shed the outer layer of the epidermis and promotes healthy tissue formation. It also softens the skin and enables it to absorb more moisture. 

Bioflavonoids: Diverse range of substances that are components of many fruits and vegetables. Many have been shown to have potent antioxidant activity.

Ascorbyl Palmitate: Stable and nonacidic form of vitamin C that is effective as an antioxidant. Particularly effective at reducing environmental damage.

Cyclohexasiloxane: A silicone. Primarily works as a skin conditioning agent and emollient. Like all other silicones, this ingredient has a unique fluidity that makes it easily spreadable. When applied to the skin, it gives a silky & slippery feeling to the touch and acts a mild water repellent by forming a protective barrier on the skin. It can also fill in fine lines/wrinkles, giving the face a temporary “plump” look.

Water: Primarily used as a solvent in cosmetics and personal care products in which it dissolves many of the ingredients that impart skin benefits, such as conditioning agents and cleansing agents. Water also forms emulsions in which the oil and water components of the product are combined to form creams and lotions.

Retinol: A form of vitamin A that is used to promote natural cell turnover, elasticity, and suppleness and minimize the appearance of fine lines.

BHT: A fat soluble synthetic compound, in the form of a white/yellow crystalline solid. Primarily acts as an antioxidant food additive because of its ability to preserve fats. It's also used as a preservative. As an antioxidant, it helps fight against the deterioration of cosmetic products caused by chemical reactions with oxygen. It's also known to work synergistically with other antioxidants. 

Titanium Dioxide: An earth mineral used in sunscreens that is capable of blocking both UVA and UVB rays; also used as a pigment.

Chromium Oxide Greens: Coloring Agents/Pigments

Bismuth Oxychloride: A synthetically prepared white, crystalline powder. A derivative of the metal Bismuth. Functions as a colorant, adding a white pigment to cosmetic products. It's frequently contained in makeup because it provides good slip, a silky feel and an excellent dermal adhesion that enables makeup to stay on the skin for long periods of time. It's especially popular with mineral powder makeup because can give either a white shimmer or pearlescent matte finish to the face. This glow serves several aesthetic purposes because, by reflecting light away from the skin, it helps camouflage wrinkles and age spots. This ingredient also functions as a bulking agent for liquid formulations.

Iron Oxides: Natural oxides of iron (iron combined with oxygen); pigments are used to enhance colors in cosmetics.

Camellia Oleifera Seed Extract: Tea plant native to Asia that helps fight free radicals; known for its antioxidant and anti-irritant properties.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A stable form of vitamin C that is considered an analogue of L-ascorbic acid. A greater affinity for skin because its fatty acid component helps aid penetration. It pairs well with other forms of vitamin C and retinol for enhanced effectiveness.

Cyclodextrin: A naturally occurring polysaccharide that is produced from starch. Sometimes referred to as cycloamylose. Used for its odor absorption capabilities. In addition to stabilizing fragrances, it also works to reduce the foam in a solution an enhance the solubility and delivery of other ingredients in a product. As a stabilizer that keeps other ingredients from evaporating and losing efficacy, it's often used in conjunction with vitamin A derivatives (aka retinoids) because they are very sensitive to temperature and light. For this reason, you may find this cyclodextrin in a variety of anti-aging products that contain potent, yet unstable, antioxidant ingredients.

Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract/Hedera Helix Extract: Plant extract that can be sensitizing due to its astringent properties. Despite this, there’s no research demonstrating that tiny amounts of ivy extract applied via skincare products are harmful; however, there also is no reliable information on ivy’s benefits when applied to skin.

Cycloheptasiloxane: Skin-Conditioning Agent 

Diacetyl Boldine: Extracted from the bark of the Chilean Boldo tree. Sometimes referred to as DAB or by its trademark name Lumiskin. This ingredient works as a skin lightening agent in skin care products. Its molecular structure resembles that of stress receptors, which leads many to believe that it has the ability to simultaneously block stress receptors and inhibit the body's melanin production (skin pigmentation). For this reason, it's often used to combat hyper-pigmentation, age spots and melasma.

BHA: An acronym for beta hydroxy acid, which is more commonly known as salicylic acid, an ingredient that has multiple benefits for numerous skin types and concerns.

Cyclotetrasiloxane: A silicone. The unique fluid properties of silicone give it a great deal of slip, and in its various forms it can feel like silk on skin, impart emollience, and be a water-binding agent that holds up well, even when skin becomes wet. The research about silicones have proven them to be superior scar-healing ingredients, soothing agents, non-irritating, and uniquely effective delivery and suspending agents for a wide range of cosmetic ingredients.

Cyclotrisiloxane: Hair Conditioning Agent and Skin-Conditioning Agent

Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract: Bearberry extract (Latin name Arctostaphylos uva ursi) has antioxidant properties, and there is a small amount of research showing it can have skin-brightening properties.

Morus Alba Leaf Extract: Non-fragrant plant extract (Latin name is Morus alba) whose various parts such as the leaf and root, have shown potential to brighten and improve the look of uneven skin tone. Concentration protocols have not been firmly established, so it’s best to look for mulberry extract in combination with other proven skin-brightening ingredients. Mulberry also works as an antioxidant and appears to be non-irritating.

My Thoughts: Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer comes in an adorable baby pink squeeze tube with gold and black lettering. The gold lettering does fade over time however the black lettering does not. 

The primer is nude in color but once applied it turns colorless. Since its colorless it can be worn with or without makeup on any skintone. I use about a dime size amount for my whole face and neck. The texture is creamy so it makes it easily spreadable on the skin. I only apply the primer gently with my fingertips. I immediately felt my skin become softer and creates a smoother canvas for my makeup application. It does really reduce the size of my pores however it does not minimize the appearance of my fine lines not even overtime. Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer does keep my makeup application looking fresh throughout the day.

Would I purchase Too Faced Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer again? No because I need something that can fill my fine lines which this did not meet. I honestly wish it did, especially at that expensive price point.

Pros:

Baby pink squeeze tube

Black lettering doesn’t come off

Nude in color turns colorless

Worn with or without makeup

Can be used on any skintone

Texture is creamy

Easily spreadable 

Skin becomes soft

Smoother canvas for makeup

Reduces pores

Keeps makeup fresh

Cons:

Gold lettering eventually comes off

Does nothing for fine lines

Expensive

Now here’s what I got in my Valentines ❤️ Glam Kit: 💙 The Champ Conditioning Dry Shampoo (Travel size 1.8 fl. oz), the Thermal Protect Styling Shield (Travel size 2.5 oz), the Refinish Control Hairspray (Travel size 1.8 fl. oz), and a Super Cute Selfie Light! It has its own USB charger, and can be lit up to 3 levels of light when you want a perfect selfie! It clips on conveniently to your cell phone. 🤳🏻. My hair hasn’t been styled or washed since just before my surgery, two days ago, so the photo I took this evening is just “plain ol’ me”, no makeup either. I haven’t even washed my face yet, but maybe I’ll feel up to it tomorrow. Now I just want to discuss what some of the ingredients are in these naturally based haircare items. 🌀 Refinish Control Hairspray; Clover Flower Extract, Pea Extract, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Camellia Oleifera Seed Lil, Citrus Lemon 🍋 Peel Oil, Citrus Lime Oil, Tomato & Carrot Seed Oil, Bergamot Fruit Oil, Gardenia Flower Extract, and Sunflower Seed Oil. 🌀 Tousled Texturizing Mist; Panthenol, Wheat Amino Acids, Clover Flower Extract, and Arginine. 🌀 Restyle Instant Sculpting Taffy; Shea Butter, & wheat amino acids. The other products have similar ingredients, and this is a partial list. I love that these all have No DEA, PEG’s, MEA Sulfates, Phthalates, Parabens, harmful colors or fragrances, or harsh salt systems. I also love that they Are 100% Vegan & Cruelty-free! 💙 I can’t wait to use these, and will share the results soon. 💙 #monathaircare #naturallybasedhaircare #noparabens #vegan #crueltyfree https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpsIPfB8WJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5cr4xi0fwo3k

🌹 Dehesia Champú Sólido BIO Dermo-Calmante con Caléndula y Avena Dehesia Champú Sólido BIO Dermo-Calmante con Caléndula y Avena Este Champú sólido está elaborado con ingredientes seborreguladores y emolientes para calmar el picor y tratar la descamación seca en el cuero cabelludo. Sus beneficios se basan en la capacidad nutritiva de los aceites y mantecas vegetales y el aporte de pro-vitamina b5 que regula el pH del folículo piloso. Esto ayuda a que el cabello se mantenga más sano e hidratado y te ayude a lucir una melena más brillante sin picores ni irritaciones. Entre sus activos principales encontramos el aceite de caléndula, un gran antiséptico regenerador, y el extracto de avena que con su ligero efecto exfoliante nos ayudará a estimular la recuperación de la piel. Contiene jugo de aloe vera que ayudará a hidratar con su gran cantidad de minerales y vitaminas. No sólo eso, porque esta fórmula está repleta de aceites como los de almendras dulces, camelia y coco que ayudan a reparar el cabello para que luzca con más brillo y suavidad. El color se lo debemos al polvo de cúrcuma y su agradable aroma se lo aportan los aceites esenciales de bergamota y lavanda, que también ejercen una gran función calmante a la composición. Recomendado para... Cueros cabelludos sensibles, con picor. Cabellos que sufran descamación seca. Dermatitis atópica e irritaciones. Ideal también para niños (mayores de 2 años)   Modo de Uso Frota suavemente el Champú Sólido humedecido con las dos manos hasta obtener una espuma consistente y aplicar con las manos, o con la pastilla directamente, en el cabello mojado. Masajear el cuero cabelludo con las yemas de los dedos durante unos minutos y dejar actuar. Aclarar con abundante agua. Si además tienes las puntas secas, combina éste champú con este Acondicionador Sólido en cada lavado usándolo de medios a puntas para regenerar el cabello y lucir una melena más hidratada y suave. Truco: para un cabello todavía más sano y brillante, termina de enjuagártelo con agua fría. Esto activará la circulación sanguínea del cuero cabelludo ¡con un resultado espectacular! Con un lavado es suficiente. Te recomendamos que tras su uso lo conserves en esta Jabonera de madera para evitar la acumulación de humedad y aumentar así la durabilidad del champú y llévalo siempre contigo con la Caja de Corcho. Cada pastilla de champú equivale a 2 o más botellas de champú habitual (aproximadamente 35 lavados). El champú sólido cunde mucho más de lo que te imaginas.   Composición Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cocos Nucifera Oil*, Aloe barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter*, Mangifera Indica Seed Butter, Prunus amygdalus Dulcis Oil*, Avena Sativa Kernel Flour, Calendula officinalis Flower Oil*, Camellia oleifera Seed Oil*, Panthenol, Curcuma longa Root Extract, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract*, Maltodextrin, Citrus aurantium bergamia Peel Oil, Glycerin, Aqua, Citrus reticulata Peel Oil, Glyceryl Caprylate, Lavandula officinalis Flower Oil*, Coco- Caprylate/Caprate, Glyceryl Undecylenate, Citric Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Limonene**, Linalool**. *ingrediente procedente de agricultura ecológica / **procedente de aceites esenciales naturales 99,39% Ingredientes de origen natural / 23,72% Ingredientes ecológicos SIN PARABENOS, NI COLORANTES, NI DERIVADOS DEL PETRÓLEO, SIN SILICONAS NI PERFUMES SINTÉTICOS NI ACEITE DE PALMA. 🍃 iunatural 👉 https://tinyurl.com/26rvsqoo #iunatural #cosmetica #pielseca #belleza #cosmeticanatural #cosmeticaorganica #cremas #antiedad #rubor #pestañas #piel #pielsaludable #trucosdebelleza #rostro #tipsdebelleza #bellezanatural #mujer #cuidadodelapiel #cuidadofacial #cuidadopersonal #limpiezafacial #saludybelleza #cuidatupeil #bellezaysalud #tratamientosfaciales #antienvejecimiento #maquillajenatural #pielradiente #pielperfecta #facial
