Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft Matte Foundation

I love this foundation! It is one of my few favorites. The Maybelline Dream Velvet Soft Matte Foundation goes on smooth and velvety in appearance. I was nervous at first, because the color seemed way off compared to my skin tone. However, after blending in you could hardly tell I was wearing foundation it blended in so evenly! The photo below speaks for itself. I can't say that it concealed everything as I would have like it to, but match it with a good concealer and you have a very pretty foundation. This foundation is also great, because you can purchase the blender that goes with it separately if you'd like as well, which I highly recommend myself. I definitely recommend giving this foundation a try! You can purchase this at many drugstores as well as Walmart for about $9, the Maybelline Dream Blender Foundation Blending Sponge also runs around $5 at Walmart and other stores as well.

Physicians Formula Eye Booster™Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit

To my surprise I recently won this new lash product I received in the mail. I was very excited to try it out as I am always on the lookout for the best mascara for my fine blonde lashes. I love to have a more dramatic look to my lashes. I was a little bit shocked to find out that the "extensions" tube really includes extenions! The bottle is filled with tiny fiber lashes that you apply as after applying the mascara. Then you apply another coat of mascara after applying the extensions to seal them in place. The first run at this was a little painful, given my surprise by the lash extension fibers, I got them all over and in my eye! They can be quite messy if you are not prepared. Unfortunately I did not see any difference in the length or volume of my lashes compared to my usual mascaras. Maybe it is due to my natural oils around my eyelids, but I recommend giving it a try for yourself. Eye Booster™Instant Doll Lash Extension Kit is available at most drugstores and www.physiciansformula.com for around $15.

Total Tea #1 Doctor Recommended Gentle Detox Tea

This tea is great! I am more of a fan of sweet tea, but I did not want to add any sweetener to this so that I didn't ruin the effects. I was very skeptical. I didn't think it would do anything. Surprisingly it works very well! It doesn't leave you running for the bathroom, but it does make it easy to go a few short hours after drinking it. It has a nice subtle taste of cinnamon, I got a hint of orange as well. It isn't strong at all even after sitting for 8-10 minutes. The taste is good for not being sweetened. You must drink it daily to get its full detox effect. It would also be good for relieving constipation. I definitely recommend trying it out for yourself! This tea can be purchased on Amazon! #totaltea I received this product mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. All opinions are my own.

Kiss Brush-On Gel Nail Kit

I am not one for using fake nails all that often, mainly due to the "fake" feeling. I hate feeling like there is something on my fingers whenever I use acrylic nails. They have always just felt so heavy and get in the way. They would never last long either. They would always break almost immediately. And the glue, the glue is the worst. It is so messy and hard to work with. Then came Kiss Brush-On Gel Nail Kit! I am so happy that this was brought to my attention. I am in love with this little kit. It is so easy! It is basically a 3 step system and is super easy to use and not messy at all! My favorite part is that I forget that I have them on. At first I had them too long and unfortunately a couple were pried up and broke off. But once I trimmed them to a length that worked for me, it is like they are not even there. Did I mention they use gel? These are not your typical acrylic nails, they use gel instead and it seems so much stronger and goes on really smooth. I do recommend a couple coats though. These nails dry in less than 5 minutes and does not use a light! I definitely recommend them if you are interested in fake nails, but have always hated the ones that do not last. These seem so strong and have already lasted me much longer than the usual! This kit is available around $10.99 at CVS. Check out Kiss at your local drugstore!

Nuphorin™ Anxiety Relief - Stress Relief | Mood Support

I have been struggling with anxiety for years, probably since my early teens, and at 24 years old have only recently discovered that was what I was suffering with. I have been on the lookout for a natural way to relieve my anxiety. I didn't want something that would completely mess with my motor skills like alcohol or make it so I couldn't function right, I just needed something to relieve the pounding in my chest. Whenever I am anxious I get heart palpitations that make me feel as if I am going to have a heart attack or something. I wanted something to relieve that, but still allow me to take control of the uncomfortable situation myself, so that I can fix it and not have to rely on a pill for the rest of my life. Nuphorin does just what I need. It works extremely fast, in just minutes it calms my racing heart and has absolutely no side effects on me. I love that it is natural. Unfortunately it is a bit pricey, but if it helps, why not? For more details and to order this great supplement check it out on Amazon. #nuphorin I received this product mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Life & Food Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 80% HCA

I have been hearing a lot about Garcinia Cambogia the last couple of years. I never thought about trying it, because I thought it would speed up my heart rate like a lot of weight loss supplements, and I already have a problem with heart palpitations. Then I came across this particular brand "Life & Food Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 80% HCA" on Tomoson. It says "NO SOY, NO ADDITIVES, NO STIMULANTS"! So I decided I'd apply. So far I have had absolutely no bad side effects from this at all, not even a rapid heart rate! I wasn't sure if it was helping with my weight loss, but then I noticed that I was able to eat a little more than usual and still lose weight. Usually I have to be extra cautious about how much I eat, because it is so easy for me to gain weight. It doesn't have a really bad smell or taste either, just a powdery scent. The pills are a little large though. I will continue using this for my weight loss journey and am excited to see the final results. Check out Life and Food's Garcinia Cambogia Supreme for more details! Or order here on Amazon! I received this product mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Kit

Malibu C was gracious enough to allow me to try out their amazing Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Kit! Living in the country, especially with blonde hair, washing my hair is not always great. Having hard water makes your hair dry, heavy, dull, and even brassy for us blondes. Hard Water Wellness is great, because it removes those hard water minerals that get left behind everytime you wash your hair. The benefits of Malibu C's Hard Water are: Allantoin: Protects scalp and prevents irritation and inflammation. Ascorbic Acid: Nature-identical vitamin C; freshly activated for topical use; removes damaging water deposits and purifies hair and scalp. Betaine: Improves hair’s texture and softness with superior, penetrating moisture retention Flax Protein: A new and superior plant protein that conditions while leaving a remarkable smooth, silky feel. Provides moisture binding properties and creates a barrier that protects against external pollutants while retaining natural oils and moisture. Malibu C® Exclusive Wellness Shampoo Complex: 100% vegan. Derived from Coconut; no animal-derivatives. Pure and clear formula contains no colorants or harsh ingredients. Sulfate-free cleansing agents originate from a multi-functional mild surfactant technology that offers foam-boosting properties and is much gentler than traditional sodium laurel sulfate-based shampoo formulas to help prevent dryness and scalp irritation. Pro Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Helps protect against the damaging effects of the environment including air, UV rays and water. Also penetrates hair’s cortex to increase moisture retention. Rice Protein: Unique and hypo-allergenic, this vegetable protein enhances the manageability and body of hair. Smoothes hair cuticle; improves gloss and texture while providing a protective barrier on damaged, oxidized hair. I love that It not only comes with 4 treatments but also a bottle of shampoo and conditioner. You use the shampoo and conditioner daily and the treatments are to be used weekly or as desired. I did not find much difference in the color of my hair after 2 treatments, however, my hair felt so much lighter and smoother. It was so shiny! I definitely recommend giving this product a try! You can find it at fine salons, spas, beauty supply stores and MalibuC.com! Thank you, Malibu C!

Colon Cleanse by Purists Choice | 100% Natural Detox Formula

I recently had the opportunity to try out Colon Cleanse by Purists Choice. I was looking for something to help me feel 'clean' on the inside. I suffer from frequent constipation so I was so glad to find this to be made of natural ingredients. I loved the licorice scent. According to their Amazon page, this is what the product does for you: -High in powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and the B-vitamin group. -Loaded with insoluble fiber to and cleanse the lower intestine of toxic buildup. -Ginger and licorice root detoxify the liver and kidneys, fight free radicals and reduce inflammation. -Works gently but thoroughly to boost immunity and restore digestive health. -Fights toxic buildup of pesticides, herbicides, toxic metals and many other unhealthy substances ingested with our food and water. -Restores immune system to optimum function by removing toxic buildup and enabling the absorption of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in the lower intestine. The bottle says "helps to liquify waste", DO NOT be afraid of this! I was a bit worried at first, but after the first dose, it did absolutely nothing. I even upped the dose even though it says not to. It still did nothing. I cannot say I recommend the product, because I really thought it should have done something. I can say that I had NO side effects, good or bad. If you are willing to try it, go ahead. It may work differently for different people. Check them out on Amazon!

Fogless Shower Mirror

The Fogless Shower Mirror is so easy to use! It is very lightweight so you do not need to worry about it being to heavy to hang. The material is also shatter proof! It comes with a hook for the mirror as well as a razor hook to hang up your razor! Just apply the adhesive provided and hang, that simple! Using nanotechnology the mirror is fogless, just don't use cleaners on it or you will ruin that coating. I love having a mirror in my shower. This is very recommended! I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Riiviva Cellulite

This is a great product! I was very surprised when Riiviva asked me to try this out. I love the simplicity of it and how easy it is to clean. These can be used with the cord or battery powered. Unfortunately mine has a bad battery. I charged it before using it as the instructions stated, but then I didn't actually use it for a week or so after charging it. When I went to use it, it was like the battery was never charged. I love the design, it fits comfortable in your hand and the tips are so easy to remove and change. I was really nervous and thought it might irritate my sensitive skin, but it is actually really comfortable and the redness didn't last very long. The only con about this is the battery. I definitely recommend Riiviva! https://www.facebook.com/riiviva http://instagram.com/riivivamicroderm https://twitter.com/Riiviva http://www.pinterest.com/riiviva/boards/

Garden of Life Raw Meal

This post may be a little shorter than I had hoped, only because I could not get this stuff down! I was hoping that I would like this since trying to lose weight and looking for a meal replacement with the most nutrients. I am grateful to Garden of Life for the free samples. This meal replacement is packed full of your daily nutrients that you need and comes in a variety of flavors. I didn't mind the Marley Coffee, and that is saying something since I hate coffee. But these all have a distinct taste of probably one ingredient, not sure what it is, but I think if they were able to remake it without this particular ingredient it would taste really good. I didn't mind the vanilla flavors either. The Chocolate Cacao did not taste chocolatey at all! If it wasn't for the taste I would use this. It is a decent price for something with so many nutrients, but is definitely an acquired taste. I recommend at least trying Garden of Life.

Mark 5 Pro Beauty Black Floral Brow Tweezers (In Tube)

I love these tweezers! I have been needing a sharper pair and these are perfect. They are sharp and have a great grip. The floral on black design is so pretty! These are great to get those unsightly fine hard to grip hairs or splinters. They are made of metal, pretty heavy for a tweezer, but in a good way. They also come in a hard clear plastic tube for storing in your purse! I definitely recommend Mark 5. I got these $20 tweezers for just over $3 on Amazon.

KISS Lashes, Looks So Natural in Shy

I have never tried false lashes before so I was pretty excited to find out that Influenster was sending me a pair of the KISS Lashes Looks So Natural in my J'Adore VoxBox! I love the KISS brand for all their nail products as well! These lashes are so pretty and come with an adhesive glue so it is so simple to apply them. These will be great to wear on a special night out! I definitely recommend KISS products!

J'Adore VoxBox from Influenster!

This was my 6th voxbox received from Influenster, I should have posted more about my other boxes, but sadly I did not save all the photos I took of them! I love Influenster so much that I decided I should start sharing some pictures of my boxes on my page. Products include: Kiss Looks So Natural Lashes, HERSHEY KISSES Milk Chocolate, Boots Botanics Shine Away Ionic Clay Mask, John Frieda Frizz Ease 3-Day Straight Flat Iron Spray, and Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas . Complimentary of Influenster.

Calorease™ (weight managment supplement)

Recently, I had the chance to try out a new product called Calorease. As a person who struggles with her weight constantly, I was pretty excited to test this out. The product is supposed to help with weight loss by binding to dietary fats in the stomach (reducing calories from fatty foods you eat). It is basically a form of fiber called FBCx aka Alpha-cyclodextrin . While reading the ingredients, this was the only ingredient listed on the box: 1000mg FBCx Alpha-cyclodextrin (2000mg per serving). The instructions say to take up to 6 tablets a day and it is supposed to reduce the calories in the fatty foods you eat by 500 calories. Calorease says it is a stimulant free, naturally sourced, heart healthy, and clinically researched supplement. It is allowed by the FDA. During my experience with this product, unfortunately, I did not see any weight loss results. One result though(this may be TMI,but we are dealing with fiber here), it did make me quite regular. There are not supposed to be any side effects, however, I did notice my bowel movements had a burning smell which lasted for a few days even after the product was gone. Other than that, it did not seem harmful in any way. Unfortunately I have to say I wouldn't recommend this product as a weight loss aid, but if you are looking for a good fiber supplement this may be for you. You can find more information about Calorease here.
