Mommy's Favorite Things: By Nieves Review & Giveaway

By Nieves Review & Giveaway



I love good quality skin care. I have a lot of skin issues. Eczema, Rosacea, acne and bad skin on my face in general. Lots of things and it's hard to find a product that will treat them all and not irritate them. My skin is the same way. I have eczema and it's very sensitive.

I was sent The Balm and some samples to try from By Nieves.
"C" perfect skin is a liquid. It rubs on your skin. It prevents against aging, sun damage and dark spots and scarring! Sounds perfect right? It smells really good too. 

I also got a sample of the Face Fix is a scrub and mask, smells good as well with rosehips and vitamin C in it!! YUM. 

The Balm is fantastic. It makes my skin feel really smooth, a little goes a VERY long way, it's great and is edible!!! It's great for shining hair, soothing skin and more. 
It's also safe for sex, but isn't latex friendly. We haven't tried it for this yet, but I'm sure it would work great.

You know it must be good and natural if you can use it...there.

It's edible and essential oils and although it doesn't taste the best, it's not horrible and perfumey like some others. 

It's very soothing and I like it as a moisturizer. 

Price: The Balm 2oz is $14 and the 8oz is $40. A little pricey, but it would last a while. 

Overall: ***** I loved the samples she included.


 *Disclaimer* I received these products directly from the Company for Review. I was not paid to try out these products*

I learned that:

Essential oils work very effectively on airborne pathogens. The essential oil molecules are very small. They stay suspended in the air a long time, providing you with a shield from airborne bacteria and viruses. For this reason people who worked in perfumeries in the dark ages made it through the plague unscathed.

Here's what I learned about face fix: ace Fix

Powdered herb and clay formula.

Contains NO emulsifiers, surfactants or preservatives

A soothing exfoliant ~and~ regenerative mask

Leaves your skin smooth and refined.



Because this powerful herbal formula is in powder form it does not require any emulsifiers, surfactants or preservatives. Face fix was designed with sensitive skin in mind, it contains many soothing, calming ingredients at the same time it is very effective for "problem skin" and most skin concerns!



The list of herbs in here is incredible, there's White Willow powder that has naturally occurring salicilic acid, Rosehips have naturally occurring vitamin C and antioxidants, Horsetail powder has silica, Licorice is proving to be effective for calming eczema.
