This is a review and giveaway by new guest blogger Leslie Quigley. Thanks Leslie for the great offer and for telling us about these awesome skin care products.
*Attention- Giveaway at the end of this post!!!**
Recently, I had the opportunity to review Miessence products through Erin Ely.
Miessence Certified Organic products are certified with the highest international food standards!! All of their products are certified organic and do not include GMO’s.
What is a GMO? Otherwise known as a genetically modified organism (GMO) it’s a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered (subtracted from, or added to either the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have naturally.
Knowing these products are not genetically altered is such a great relief especially when you’re dealing with skin- which is the largest organ of the human body! When these products arrived at my door I was thrilled. Each of these goods are very unique.
For starters, I used the Skin Care Pack- which included the Balancing Cleanser, Balancing Skin Conditioner and Balancing Moisturizer. The Balancing Cleanser works very well in removing the dirt and makeup. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed. I’ve used a lot of skin cleanser’s and what I really like about it was the aromatherapy (orange peel oil, ylang ylang, calendula & marshmallow) that went straight into my senses after using it. My face really felt clean and I felt like a new gal!
Next up, was the Balancing Skin Conditioner which is so gratifying because it feels so smooth up against your face, throat or decollete’ (chest). With 200 applications @ 3 pumps per application you won’t be disatisfied. I think out of the three this one I enjoyed most. I like to think of all the great organic vitamins and plant extracts that are nourishing my skin.
After you’re face is glowing and you feel like a new woman, there’s just one last step! Us woman love facial products and we want to know our skin is going to look as good as it did at 30 when we’re 50. So, in order to do so you have to have the right moisturizer that will prevent free radicals and moisture loss (which BTW causes wrinkling!!!).
Upon application, this soft and smooth moisturizer, feels like everything is complete! I tend to have oily skin and a few breakouts and I felt that this Skin Care Pack really packed a great non-toxic punch and kept my breakouts at bay. Plus, I noticed my skin wasn’t as oily as it would be.
Using products that do not contain chemicals makes you feel good about yourself. Not only that; you know you’re health isn’t being jeopardized. There are so many over the counter products that contain ugly chemicals that can alter our systems and yet the FDA still continues to allow them. With Miessence products you don’t have that worry.
I also tried their shampoo and conditioner. Both of which worked well. The shampoo, does take a little more than the standard shampoo’s, to lather up. Once my hair lathered up, it worked fine. Their Mint Toothpaste works really well leaving your mouth feeling fresh and clean. I must admit, that during my initial brushing…I was thrown off by a bit by the sea salt granules but it was nothing major! The salt and soda combination cleaned up the pearly whites nicely and not to mention freshens your breath.
My two absolute favorites were the Jaffa Lip Balm and the Tahitian Breeze Roll-On Deodorant!! I’ve always been into chapstick- it goes way back when I was in Jr. High…I’d always have a Bonnie Bell, Dr. Pepper or Grape flavored tube in my backpocket. It was an addiction. I was always rubbing the stuff across my lips.
As I grew up and learned more about natural products, I realized that it was full of toxic crud and I threw them all away and started using natural versions. I have a new collection of natural chapsticks because I still LOVE to keep my lips feeling soft. There’s also something about being able to roll your lips back and forth without getting stuck and being dry. I think you all can agree on this one! Just feels right.
When I first put the Jaffa Lip Balm on my lips it was PURE HEAVEN. The smell, the taste (yes, I did lick my lips and so did my son…LOL!) and the feel was absolutely what I look for in a lip balm. I mean c’mon, with ingredients like cocoa butter, avocado oils, sweet orange essential oil, and vanilla… it’s lip bliss!! I’m so sad too- because I LOST my tube…it was a tragic day. I’m hoping it’ll show up at some point. In any case, if you’re like me and love soft, silky lips then you should order some fast.
Okay, so here’s a personal secret…shhh!!! I have the sweaty pits syndrome…there I said it! I’ve heard you can get botox to fix the issue but are you kidding me? HECK NO!!! I don’t find that to be a suitable solution, AT ALL.
I’ve dealt with the problem for a long time and before I was into the natural way I was prescribed a medicine for it. All along I never liked the idea of putting a pure solution of ALUMINUM CHLORIDE under my arms. I finally stopped using it one day and vowed I would cope with natural products-Including putting tissue under my arms to capture the release.
I’ve tried it all- but Miessence deodorant comes out on top. It works!!! If it works for this “Sweaty Betty” then it will work nicely for those without my problem! It smells great and on my bad days I’ve had to roll-on twice. No big deal.
It’s strong scented upon application with citrus and bergamont notes but calms and keeps you dry once it’s been applied. Best of all, it’s ORGANIC- and most of the natural deodorants I’ve tried are not organic just chemical free. Huge plus, that’s for sure!!! I’ve had it a couple months now and it’s still half-full! Wow.
Last but certainly not least, I received a sample packet of their moisturizing lotion- great stuff too! Goes along way and provides just the right amount of moisture.
Overall, Miessence is QUALITY at it’s finest and I would definitely recommend these products. I mean, really…with ingredients so pure you can eat them- what are you waiting for?
** Now for the fun part!! Your chance to WIN the Jaffa Lip Balm & Tahitian Breeze Roll-On Deodorant!!! Simply, leave me comment telling me what Miessence product you’d like to try (other than the ones mentioned).
Pls. leave a valid email address with your comment.

Rejuvenessence Facial Serum for tired, stressed, aging skin sounds like the product for me. I’m constantly searching out the perfect moisturizer – and it has to be SERIOUS moisturizer (even if my skin is not currently tired, stressed, or aging). By the way – and I hope I don’t get eliminated from the giveaway for this – there is a typo on this product’s description (ageing instead of aging). I’m such a stickler and I know not everyone is but I wouldn’t want potential buyers to be turned off. There! I said it.

Soothing Couperose Gel (broken capillaries/redness), from the description it sounds like it would be heaven for my rosecea. Rosecea is embarassing and sometimes very painful when you are in full breakout (like I am right now!). I think I need to do a little more self research on this product because at this point in my life I am ready and willing to try ANYTHING that will help me. The prescription chemicals are not helping and I know they are not good for me, I am impressed so far with first of all the product I mentioned being organic.

Rice moisturizer is one natural moisturizers it helps protect the skin from being damaged by UVA and UVB which are the cause of melasma, freckle, and skin cancer. Because it has plentiful minerals, unsaturated fatty acid and vitamins especially the natural vitamin E which is in high quantity as Tocols (Tocopherol & Tocotrienol), Gamma-Qryzanol and Ceramide.
To tell the truth I am crazy about organic skin care products .
