Guest Beauty Blogger Wednesdays - The Muse Talks Moisturizers
Today, our Guest Beauty Blogger is The Muse from Musings of a Muse -- an addictive beauty blog that centers around product reviews, with an honest opinion, real product photos and a unique and original spin on makeup. Here, The Muse reviews SteamCream - a multitasking moisturizer for face and body.
The Muse thinks that the secret and solution to life, the universe, and everything is actually SteamCream.
You're curious now, right? A few months ago the Muse discovered a little product called SteamCream. SteamCream happens to be a multipurpose cream that can be used on your face or your body (unlike all these on Total Beauty's worst moisturizers list). I know, I know you're screaming in agonizing pain at the idea of using one cream for your face AND your body. How horrifying right? How can one single product be used on the delicate skin of your face plus the rough parts of your body like elbows and knees? Rest assured the Muse promises it's a miracle in a cute little tin.
SteamCream is a unique formula that uses pure steam to create a moisturizing treatment that absorbs easily and without any effort, leaving behind soft, silky skin that's instantly soothed and healed. This is currently my staple facial moisturizer as it's made my face smooth, soft, and flake free.
I've NEVER in all my years of using skincare came across a moisturizer that absorbs this easily into skin. It literally melts into your skin and absorbs in a snap. Strangely enough the formula is quite thick for something that absorbs so easily. The texture is that of a gel, almost, with a slightly cool feeling that makes my skin say "ahhhhh" in appreciation once I apply. It's quite like pouring a cup of cool water onto my skin. I'm absolutely in love with it for my face but it also happens to do an amazing job of soothing my dry, rough elbows and knees, and my legs simply love how easily it smooths on and goes to work instantly smoothing and moisturizing. Absolutely zero effort goes into getting this applied as almost on contact with my skin it absorbs. Quite like a magnet really as the skin literally sucks it up.
The scent of the cream reminds me of Lush Dream Cream as it carries an herbal smell that's quite pleasant. The formula includes good-for-you ingredients such as soothing oatmeal, orange flower water and healing lavender oil.
Around this time of the year, normally, the skin on my face has a few problem areas. My cheeks begin to have a patchy, dry feeling and the space between my eyebrows normally has gross flaky dry skin. After using SteamCream a single time I noticed an improvement on both areas instantly. My dry patchy cheeks were smooth and soft and the flakes between my eyebrows were gone.
SteamCream has a lot going for it in terms of being a moisturizing miracle, but it also happens to make the Muse happy with it's über-cute packaging. It comes in cute little tins that feature various designs. The tins are fun collectible pieces! I actually keep one tin of SteamCream for my body and one for my face as I prefer a pot to be solely for different areas, and it's especially important for me to keep my facial moisturizer away from my body parts ... kinda weird to use a body cream and proceed to slather on my face. The cute designs make it easy for me to tell which tin is my body tin and which is for my face. At the price you can honestly afford two! SteamCream introduces new tins every few months, which is particularly fun for a fan of the product. The cream is absolutely a deal at £9.95 per a tin. A little goes a long way so the pot should last you quite a long while. SteamCream's website kindly ships worldwide and shipping is very reasonable .
Like Lush, SteamCream has a shelf life of a little over a year so one tin should get you through an entire year for your face and I'd say a tin for your body should last about 5-6 months.
One of SteamCream's team players, Allison, was kind enough to answer a few questions for me and I thought I'd past them on here as much of what she said was quite interesting. So sit back, grab your cuppa, and read what Allison and the Muse discussed! Do visit MusingsofaMuse.com to view the complete interview!
All in all SteamCream definitely holds the key to this Muse's heart! Fabulous cream and a must have!

I'm a huge products-user and normally use Mac (cosmetics) and Chanel. I'm very picky and particular about what I use on my face. It has to be outstanding, or I just won't use it. I have tubs of unused cosmetics and creams all which I have not liked for one reason or another.
I received this "Made from Earth" VITAMIN ENHANCED MOISTURIZER as a gift. I was expecting another product that I would be adding to my 'don't like' pile. Boy was I wrong! From the second I opened the jar with the beautiful lid -- it made that wonderful 'swisshhhing' sound when it opened.
When I put the cream on my face I was expecting it to be greasy and it wasn't at all! There is an amazing skin-tightening and smoothing effect this cream has. As soon as I put it on, it sank in my skin, and my skin felt dewy and like a babies skin. I think the combination of anti-oxidants & skin firming really are a miracle in a bottle.
My husband told me the next day my skin looked incredible. When I looked at my reflection in the mirror close-up, it has a look now of smooth-glass. My big pores are diminished and it looks almost airbrushed.
I LOVE THIS CREAM! I will buy the Made from Earth Vitamin Enhanced Moisturizer forever! I'm 34 and plan on using this to keep the wrinkles and lines at bay.
