Karelen: A Beauty Review

Super excited to tell you guys all about karelen today on SS.  I can't get over how AMAZING their new line is.  They offer hair and skin care products that enhance one's natural beauty.  Their items are formulated with only the purest ingredients: no glycols, parabens, mineral oils, or petrolatum.  They also NEVER test items on animals.  Trust me when I say you'll adore this line.  I seriously love EVERY product I got from them.  Make sure to keep reading 'cause I'm sharing a BAMF discount code at the end of this post!
1.  Aloe There Hand and Body Creme ($5.99) - This lotion smells like heaven and absorbs crazy fast, improving your skin's natural firmness while keeping it soft and hydrated.  It contains all of aloe's potent natural antioxidants from beta carotene to vitamins C & E.
2.  Vivacious Vitamin E Dry Oil ($5.99) - Amazing oil for sure.  Use it on your hair or your body.  I like layering it on lotion post-shower to seal moisture in, but it's also great for your tips!  Make sure you don't overdo it though - you don't want your hair to get all greasy!
3.  Shea Your Way Body Butter ($5.99) - I can't recommend this body butter enough.  The consistency is lotion-y (not rich and creamy like most), but trust me when I say it works like magic.  I used it ONCE and woke up with silky smooth skin.  You seriously can't go wrong with this!

 4.  Tea Tree Treat Hair Masque ($6.99) - A fabulous hair masque!  Use it once a week to hydrate and condition your mane.

            

5.  Mango Crazy Leave-in Detangler ($6.99) - My fave hair detangler.  I've tried a slew of different ones, and this is by far the best!  I brush my hair before showering and spritz this on after I step out.  No more tugging *thumbs up*
6.  Luscious Coconut Bath & Shower Gel ($5.99) - A luxurious shower gel that smells AMAZING and leaves your skin soft and irresistible.  The coconut was such a good call! I recommend trying this scent out yourself.

So basically, here's my conclusion:

- Karelen products are mad affordable (the items I reviewed are $6-7) but work like high-end salon products.
- They're available in 13 different fragrances.
- You guys need to try them out STAT, and use code SENSIBLESTYLISTA to get an extra 10% off your purchase.  Also, for a limited time, y'all get free shipping with a $25+ purchase.

Sponsor Spotlight: Nature's Time

I'm SUPER excited to tell you guys all about Nature's Time today on Sensible Stylista.  Nature's Time was created in the heart of SF by founder and active registered nurse, Christian Panaligan.  After hearing story after story of suicides and shootings linked to bullying, he decided to step up and take a stand.  As a victim himself, he found solace in the strength and beauty of nature so he incorporated it into his vision: a chic fashion accessory - made of natural materials - that would spread compassion and awareness.
"Through nature, each and every one of us is connected and it's our TIME to start making real impact for each other.  We don't know what tomorrow will bring, so why not make the best of today for the good of society?" - CP
Support NT and help #endbullying by purchasing a sustainable eco-friendly, toxic free watch that'll make a serious fashion statement.  Each watch purchase helps 6 bullying victims, and NT has partnered up with Free2Luv to fight bullying through community outreach, awareness campaigns, and events.  Make sure you guys help them out on their Indiegogo campaign HERE.  
The men's and women's limited edition prototype is available only for the first 100 sales.  After that, no more will be made!  The men's designs start at $89 each.  Once they reach $100,000 in fudning, the women's line will be released.  They use natural wood and 316L steel to handcraft all their pieces, and they're water resistant.  FYI: the watches have pins and holes in every link of the band so the re-sizing is hella easy.
