I have a really unique crew review to share with you today.  It is for  skin care products, which you know is one of my favorite things on earth!  I just love make up and skin care!   Kora Naturals sent me to amazing products to share with you.  I'm excited to share my thoughts and how I used them.

What I received:

Emu Oil

and

Pure Lanolin Lip Balms


What they are and how  I used them:

I'm going to start with the Emu Oil. It comes in a little amber bottle with push up top.   Prior to this review I had never heard of Emu Oil so I was very intrigued.  The 'oil' itself is milky white and feels more like a serum than a true oil.  I would say it does have a bit of a oily slip as you rub in but then drys to more of a lotion type feel on the skin or dry oil.

I used the product in three ways.  First I did a deep treatment on my hair.  Applying it before washing and leaving it sit for about 10 minutes.  Then washing as usual.  It left my hair soft and with a nice restored feeling.  (Dry winter heat plays havoc on my hair this time of year.)  I also used this as a style product/leave in conditioner by applying a few drops to towel dried hair and styling as usually.  My hair looked nice but I didn't really notice any benefit to this method like I did with the deep treatment.

Next I started doing a little research.  Apparently Emu Oil is great for aches and pains.  I've had this weird crick in my neck since I had my youngest who is now 4!  I thought ~ why not try it, what could it hurt?  So I applied a few drops to my neck and I have to say it really helped!  I felt like my neck was less stiff overall.  This was my favorite use of the product and one I continue to do daily.  It only takes a few drops on my neck (or other achy areas) and I feel relief.  **Of course I am no medical doctor, I'm just sharing how I used it and the benefit I saw personally.**

Next let me tell you about the Lip Balms.  I SUFFER from chapped lips.  I tend to pick at them when I'm bored or nervous so I always have chapped lips going on.  This is a pain because I love wearing matte lipsticks and you need perfect, smooth lips to pull that type of product off.  I had a variety of lip products bedside to treat the problem overnight but nothing was really cutting it until I tried the lip balms.

 This product came in a little white tube.  It is unscented and a very thick product.  Once applied you will feel it there but Ooooh how soothing it feels.  I noticed a difference immediately.  I apply at night and in the morning my lips feel new.  Smooth and healthy.  I've even been using it on my 4 year old because his lips chap and crack and it has helped him too.  I would say this is a treatment type product.  You don't need horrible lips but because of the thickness you might not want to use this one like a regular chapped lip stick.  I could see this as being AMAZING for days you are going to be out in the wintery cold weather.  It would offer awesome protection. 

So to sum it up I loved both of these products.  My only complaint was the closure on the Emu Oil.  It had a circle type plastic piece with a hole in it on the bottle, then on the screw top, there was push/flip cap.  I found that this caused a bit of leakage after the initial use.  Not sure how they can perfect that system but it was a bit messy at times.
