Review: Foxbrim Natural Refresh Toner

What is Foxbrim Toner?

This is a 100% natural and alcohol free toner. This toner includes MSM to help smooth and brighten skin, Witch Hazel to reduce inflammation and tighten pores, and Aloe to help moisturize. No parabens or additives are included in this toner, so you get the most from the included ingredients. This toner is made for all skin types, best for acne prone or irritated skin. 

How is it Used?

You simply spritz a spray or 2 onto your face after any serums, but before your moisturizer. I don't like spray bottles on my face because it is a bit hard to cover your whole face without wasting a bunch of product, so I spray a few sprays onto a cosmetic sponge and rub it on my face. 

First Impression

I was not super impressed that it was a spray bottle, but using the cosmetic sponge works just as well for me. This product did help in getting rid of any hyper-pigmentation/post acne marks I have on my skin. I find myself reaching for my concealer less and less after using this product. I have less redness in my skin and I think this is going to make a great addition to my skin care routine. I love that this is an all natural product, so I don't have to worry about my skin becoming irritated or my pores being blocked after use.

Review: Dr Song Professional Teeth Whitening Kit

What is it?

This product is a professional teeth whitening kit you can use at home. This is a maximum strength kit, the same dentists use in their office. This kit alone is not recommended for sensitive teeth, you can purchase a separate remineralizing gel kit to desensitize your teeth during treatment. 

The kit includes:

• 8 large syringes of whitening gel - good for 50 applications
• gel applicator brush - for easy application of whitening gel
• LED blue light accelerator - for acceleration of whitening process
• 3 moldable teeth trays

How do I use it?

Tips:

• Keep gel away from gums, as it can cause irritation or temporary bleaching of gums
• Keep the kit in a cool dark place, away from sunlight
• The light is optional, but it speeds up the whitening process
• Use shorter and more frequent treatments to achieve longer lasting results
• When it comes to gel, less is more
• Do not do long treatments if you are not sure how sensitive your teeth are
• The shelf life of the gel is 12 months

Prepare the trays:

1. Place the tray on your upper teeth. Practice with your tongue on the roof of your mouth and touching the inside of the tray. Suck the air from the tray. This helps to contour the tray to your teeth. Repeat with lower tray
2. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Pour water into a cup and let it sit for 1 min. Starting with 1 tray at a time, dip the tray in the water for 5 seconds. If the tray folds into itself(happens when dipped too long), reshape the tray to it's original form and allow to cool before dipping again.
3. Lift the tray out of the water from the tab and carefully, but quickly, place the tray around your teeth and immediately perform step 1.
4. The tray can be reformed multiple times, so don't worry if you are not satisfied with the first fit.
5. Once you are satisfied with your fit, trim the front tab off the tray. You can trim the tray itself if you find the tray is too large.

Whitening:

1. Brush and floss
2.  If you are using desensitizing gel, apply this now. Dispense .5ml of gel into a small bowl and use the applicator brush to apply a thin layer of gel to the front of your teeth. Do the same with the whitening gel. You only need to apply the gel to the front of your teeth because nobody will see the back.
3. Insert the trays and immediately wipe off any excess gel from your gums.
• Optional: You can use the LED light by placing it over your trays and use it for 15 mins at the beginning of your session
4. Wear the trays for 15 mins but no more than 4 hours, depending on how strong you desire treatment. If sensitivity or irritation occur, wait 24 hours before using the treatment again and use less gel. You can repeat daily until you reach your desired shade. You may also wear the trays longer if you do not experience sensitivity.
5. Gently remove any excess gel that remains on your teeth and gums to prevent any possible irritation.

First Impressions

While this kit does not work as fast as my prior whitening kit I used, this kit did make my teeth a few shades whiter after 3 15 min sessions. I have not tried the kit for longer periods of time, but with the holidays coming up, I may try a few longer sessions around Christmas time to boost the whitening of my teeth. I am also using a whitening toothpaste and rinse which adds an extra boost of whitening power to my teeth. 

Where can I purchase?

Review: Kiss InstaWave Automatic Curler

What is the Kiss InstaWave?

The Kiss InstaWave is a clipless curling iron/wand that has a 1" rotating barrel that creates tangle-free, beautiful, long-lasting curls with ease! It is easy to use with either hand and has a curl dial that can make left/right curling directions. The wand also has 2 heat settings that reach a max temperature of 420 degrees. The wand also has an automatic timer that turns the wand off after 90 mins, so no need to stress after you leave. "Did I forget to turn off my curling wand?" If you want tighter curls, turn the heat setting to high and hold the hair on the wand for 10 seconds. For looser, more beachy waves, use the low setting and hold for 5 seconds.

How do I use it?

Make sure your hair is 100% dry and tangle free before beginning. Start by settling your heat to your desired temperature. The wand has an indicator light that turns red when the device is on, but turns blue when it reaches the right temperature, the wand heats up in under 2 mins. 

Start by grabbing a 1-2" section of hair and placing the hair in the dial at the bottom of the wand. Make sure you hold the wand vertical and close to your roots for a more natural curl. 

Push the the curl dial button left or right and the InstaWave will instantly and automatically catch your hair and wrap it around the wand to curl it. Release the button when all of the hair is wrapped on the barrel. **Pro Tip: Switch between curling your hair left and right for a more natural look. When you reach the front of your face, curl the hair away from your face.

Make sure the wand is vertical and hold for 5-10 seconds(depending on your desired look)

Pull the wand straight down to release your hair and admire your wonderful curls!

First Impressions

It took me about 3 tries to get the hang of the curling wand, and I still was not super impressed with it. Though the barrel is 1", my hair is a few inches past my shoulders and the wand did not do a great job curling my hair, I think this product is best for longer hair. The curls weren't a complete fail, they did look pretty nice in some parts, maybe I just need a bit more practice with it. (I will insert pictures)

As you can tell by my face, I was not completely impressed with it. Maybe if I tried a few more times and tried on somebody with longer hair it would look great. I've seen fantastic results from this wand and it is still growing on me. Maybe my next time will be a huge success and I can post a great update!(Stay tuned!)

Where can I purchase it?

The Kiss InstaWave retails for about $59.99. You can purchase from their official site here, on Amazon or if you need it today! Visit your local Target or Ulta

Review: Morea Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum

What is Morea Natural Acid Age Delay Serum?

Much like my previous serums I have reviewed, this is pretty much like the others. This is a vitamin C serum, but it also has green tea extracts to add a boost of antioxidants to your skin. The hyaluronic acid aids in plumping up any wrinkles or fine lines you may have on your skin. This product is also 72% organic, which is nice because you are not putting harmful chemicals on your skin. 

How do I use it?

This is used much like any other serum. 

1. Wash and dry your face

2. Pump 1-2 squirts of serum on your hands 

3. Rub completely into your face and neck until absorbed

First Impressions

When I first received this product I thought mine was defective. It honestly took about 30-40 pumps before any amount of product begin to pump out. Once the product did come out, I was happy that it was thicker than other serums I've used. I honestly am not a fan of the liquid serums from a dropper, I feel like I am racing against the product before it pools out of my hands. The smell of this product is a bit off putting, but it is not enough to stop me from using it. The smell does go away after a moment. 

While I have no fine lines to comment about, this product does seem to help keep my skin tone even and fresh. I have had discoloration in the past and it's nice to not have to worry about my skin anymore. 

Thank you to Morea Naturals for giving me a chance to review their Age Delay serum. I have enjoyed using this product.

Review: Thirty Scary Tales

While I would not call these stories scary, they did however keep me on my toes and keep my attention. Though I am not much of a short story reader, I did get through all 30 tales within 2 nights. Not sure if I would go back and reread it over and over, but there are a few stories I might go back to and read every now and than.
At the end of each short story, the author gives information of how she came to write the story, and where it came from. It was a nice addition to the tales, instead of just random short tales mushed together in one book.
This book is available from Amazon on your Kindle supported device. The book is currently priced at .99, which a great deal for the amount of story you receive! Follow this link to get started on a creepy journey!

Review: Terry Treetop Finds New Friends

When I got the chance to download this book onto my Kindle supported device, I was pretty excited to read it with my daughter. My daughter is 15 months and she does not have much attention span for even a short story at the moment. I figured I would bring my device to work and read it with my students(age 3). They seemed to enjoy this story much more than my daughter.
This story teaches patience, persistence, and even motivation. Terry's father builds him a new tree house, but he is feeling a bit lonely, so he journeys out to find a new friend to keep him company. He encounters a few friends on his adventures, but they are all too busy to join Terry Treetop. Does Terry ever find a new friend? You can purchase this story on Amazon for your Kindle supported device(currently .99) and find out with your little one!

Review: pureSOL Konjac Facial Sponge with Bamboo Charcoal

What is Konjac Facial Sponge?

This product is a facial sponge that has bamboo charcoal in it to help improve your skin texture by removing any toxins without added chemicals. This sponge is 100% natural and eco-friendly. This sponge can be used for 2 months then after you finish with it, you can add it to your compost pile. This sponge is 90% biodegradable! 

First Impressions

I've been using this sponge with my Adovia sulfur bar and it has been working great! I have not seen any new breakouts with this routine. I have washed my face with these 2 products once a day, in the morning. These products are going to be a part of my routine for good!

Review: Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap Bar

What is Adovia Natural Soap Bar?

This is a bar designed specifically for those with acne and oily skin(can be used on your face or body). The bar has ingredients such as olive oil, dead sea minerals, sulfur, and aloe vera extract, just to name a few. 

Sulfur has great antiseptic, anti-fungal, and antibacterial properties, but can be a bit drying to most skin. Adovia recommends that you start off slow when using this bar, don't go using it twice a day every day. Try using the bar once every other day or even every 2 days. Slowly work your way up to where you want to be. If you notice your skin drying too much, try to skip a day or cut down on how many times a day you use it. 

How do I use it?

This is pretty much used like any normal bar of soap.

1. Wet skin where applying and hands(or whatever you are using to apply). I personally use my Konjac Charcoal Sponge to apply the soap bar.

2. Rub soap on hands or item being used. I rub my wet sponge across the soap bar about 3-4 times and that is plenty for my face! 

3. Apply to skin and rinse.

First Impressions

I've never been one for sulfur based acne products and I personally was a bit hesitant to try this. I took one for the team and used it, boy am I glad I did! This product is great. The bar does not have a scent to it, so I don't need to worry about having different fragrances on my face is a choose to apply my vitamin C serums, which always seem to have a scent to them. I have been using this product for about a month and it has done a great job keeping my acne at bay. I may get an occasional pimple here and there, which is perfectly fine with me, I will then apply a spot treatment and go on my way. Using the sponge with the soap has made me use less product than I normally would, so I see lots of use coming from this soap bar! It looks like I barely made a dent in the soap and i've been using it once a day for a month. I may up my use to twice a day when the summer comes back around because I always tend to break out in the summer months due to my skin producing more sweat and oils. I hope they keep this soap bar around for the long run, because I will be repurchasing this bar for sure! Thank you Adovia for sending me this product for testing purposes.

Review: BakeitFun Baking Mat

What is BakeitFun Baking Mat? / First Impressions

The BakeitFun baking mat is a non-stick silicone mat that you can place on your baking sheets to give your baking sheet extra protection while you are cooking. I use silicone mats for cookies and my cookies always turn out great. This mat also has printed circles on it which helps aid proper placement if you happen to be baking cookies. No more worrying about the cookies baking together! 

This mat is also great if you are making any type of pastry on your counter top and just want that extra protection on your prepping surface. Say you are making sugar cookies. You can place the dough right on the mat to roll it out, cut your cookies, remove excess dough, then transfer the mat right onto your baking sheet to go into the oven. 

I also love that it has the measurements on the edges. I have made soft pretzels on this baking mat and it was very easy to get uniform sizes to ensure they would all bake evenly. Silicone mats are great because you don't need to worry about the extra fat or grease from using a butter/shortening stick or spray to keep your baked goods from sticking. Though if you are baking sugar cookies, what is a few extra calories from a non-stick spray(I won't tell!). 

Baking mats are also great for easy clean up! If you are anything like me, and hate the clean up after baking/cooking, then look no farther. I am usually one to use parchment paper while I bake anything, because I HATE to scrub pans. I like that the baking mats are reusable, so I don't have to worry about running out of parchment paper while I am baking. I just take the baking mat from the baking sheet, give it a quick rinse with soap and water, dry, and you're good to go for the next round. Most of the time the baking sheet won't need more than a quick wipe down with a damp cloth.

Review and coupon code: Whip Lash Eyelash Curler

What is it and what do you get?

This is pretty much your run of the mill eyelash curler. You get the curler, 10 extra pads, and a funky looking box that looks pretty cool, in my opinion! Whip Lash also gives you a lifetime guarantee, if you are not 100% satisfied, you can get a full refund or your money back. People have also been stating that their replacement pads are not fitting right, I have not had the issue, but just a simple email to Whip Lash and they will replace them at no charge. 

How do I use it?

If you have never used an eyelash curler before, it's really simple. Don't let it look intimidating! It's as simple as placing the curler close to your lash line and squeezing the handles. I like to add the extra step of heating it under the hair dryer for about 10 seconds to warm it up, this helps the curl hold better. After curling, you can leave your lashes alone or apply your favorite mascara.

First Impressions

I had an old eyelash that I rarely used because I was so intimidated by it. I broke out my old curler one day and fell in love! I have not really used one because the pad on my old curler was getting a bit old and dingy. I was looking for a new one, when I got the email to try out Whip Lash, I do not regret it at all. I didn't have much luck with eyelash curlers when I first started to use them because I was too scared to place them close enough to curl my lashes the right way. Eyelash curling is like when you use eyeliner for the first time to line your waterline, it really takes confidence and just going for it. 

Whip Lash was kind enough to give my readers and followers a 25% off coupon code! Just follow these instructions at the time of purchase. 

1. Go to amazon.com and search pink eyelash curler

2. Find Whip Lash and add it to your cart

3. Before finalizing the order, use the promo code: 6W64Z25Z to receive 25% off your order

4. Reviews after trying will be appreciated by Whip Lash

Review: InstaNatural deep cleansing facial oil and rosehip seed oil

What is InstaNatural deep cleaning facial oil?

Don't shy away from this just because you may have acne prone or oily skin and this product says oil right on the label! This product works better as a makeup remover for me, but it is also a one step cleanser if you would like it to be (Keep reading for my opinion). This cleanser has some great active ingredients such as jojoba oil, olive oil, lavender essential oil, tamanu oil, hemp oil, sea buckthorn oil, and geranium essential oil.
This product can be used as a makeup remover, face cleanser, after shaving to prevent irritation, or as an aftercare for sunburn.

How do I use it?

This product is pretty simple to use. It's as simple as this!
1. Apply product to washcloth or cotton pad
2. Apply on face where desired
3. Rinse with warm water
I added the extra step of using a different face wash after because I did not like the feeling this product gave my face after using.

First Impression

I was very uneasy seeing the word oil in the product name when I first went to try this out. I give it a few tries by itself, but I wasn't impressed with how it made my skin feel after washing. It felt like it wouldn't come off and left my skin very oily, I even had a small breakout after using it, which I had not had a breakout in about 3 months. I added the extra step of using my everyday cleanser after using this to remove my makeup, it even removes mascara with ease, and this product finally got 2 thumbs up from me! I was very upset that I may have had to put this product in the dud pile, but it is honestly a great product for me. Even though I need the extra step in there because my skin is sensitive, I do not mind. :) 

What is InstaNatural Rosehip Seed Oil?

This is simply what it says right on the bottle, rosehip oil. There are no other fillers or any other ingredients in this bottle. This product is great for fine lines, scars and stretch marks, sun spots, age spots, and also great for your nails and hair! This seems like an all in 1 product! They flat out warned about a slight fishy smell when I was waiting to receive my product, but I personally thought it smelled more like fresh brewed tea(maybe i'm the odd one out. lol) After opening, this product is suggested to be stored in the fridge, so ensure the freshness lasts while you are using this product.

How do I use it?

Since this can be used in a few ways, I will post a few ways to apply this product.

Face and body:

1. Wash area before application

2. Apply 2 -5 drops(depending on how big the area is) of product to your fingers and rub onto desired area. Allow product to absorb before applying any other products to skin.

Nails:

1. Simply apply like a normal cuticle oil

Hair:
You can use this 2 different ways in your hair.
1. Add to a few drops to your shampoo

2. After washing and drying hair, apply to scalp

 First Impressions

I personally do not mind the smell as much, because it does go away after some time. I do occasionally get a hint of it here and there through the day, but it's really not that bad. I have not used it in my hair, but I have applied it to my face and nails. I have seen slight improvement with my post acne marks, but I honestly don't have any at the moment, so I feel like I couldn't be a strong tester for that. It did leave my skin feeling very soft and smooth after just 1 week of everyday use. I also am terrible at remembering cuticle oil, but maybe now that the weather is getting cooler I will remember more and I can post an honest review of what it does for my nails.

Review: Valentia Even Glow Serum

What is Valentia Even Glow Serum?

Like my previous post about the Mystelic Beauty's Vitamin C serum, this product is pretty much the same. It is best used for premature aging, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, elasticity loss, loss of firmness, and just for skin that needs a revitalizing boost!
Valentia does have some different ingredients compared to the Mystelic Beauty serum. Just to name a few ingredients in this serum, it has organic rosehip oil, organic sea buckthorn oil, and green tea extract.(Full ingredient list is posted on their amazon listing.)

How do I use it?

Step 1: Wash your face and pat dry

Step 2: Gently swirl the bottle to mix ingredients that may have settled. Use the dropper to apply 2-3 drops on your fingertips. Rub your finger tips to get product on both hands then gently apply product on your face and neck.(Apply product 1-2 times daily)

Step 3: Give the product time to fully absorb before you apply your moisturizer or any other products to your face.

First Impressions

When I first opened the bottle I noticed that it smells just like oranges. Yum! The smell is a huge plus for me, because as you might know, I hate smelly face care products. Compared to the past vitamin C serum I've used, this product is very thick, which is a positive and a negative for me. The thick product is great because it applies easy and you don't have to worry about rushing it from your hands to your face in fear of spilling it everywhere. The negative, the serum feels very heavy on my face and takes a bit longer to fully absorb into my skin, which isn't a terrible thing, but I don't enjoy the heavy feeling that much. I kind of enjoy this product more than the Mystelic Beauty serum, but I honestly saw more of a difference in my skin when I used the Mystelic Beauty serum vs. Valentia. I again, used this product the same amount of time as past serums, I just didn't get the huge wow factor like I had in the past. I will keep this one in my travel kit and use it while I'm away from home. Big thank you to Valentia for giving me this product to review!

Review: Mystelic Beauty Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum

What is Nature's Best vitamin C Serum?

Vitamin C serum's are used for premature aging, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, elasticity loss, loss of firmness, and just for skin that need a revitalizing boost! This particular one is an all natural product great for all skin types. They also states that it helps to reduce acne, as well as post acne marks(which is what made me want to try this product).

How do I use it?

Step 1: Wash your face and pat dry
Step 2: Gently swirl bottle to mix ingredients that may have settled at the bottom. Use the dropper to apply a few drops to your fingertips then gently rub product onto your face and neck(You may apply 1-2 times a day)
Step 3: Give the product time to absorb before you apply any moisturizer or makeup products.

First impressions

I have used this product for about a month, twice a day. Being 22, I don't have any fine lines or wrinkles to take care of, but I do have some discoloration due to post acne marks. This product has made my skin softer and my skin is by far more even toned.
Smell, this product is pretty much odorless. I have used my fair share of SMELLY skin care products in my time, so this being odorless just raises the bar a lot more in my book!
The consistency is the only thing that was not great for me. The product is super runny and hard to keep on my fingertips for application. The product did absorb fairly quickly though so I guess the runny product can be okay in that aspect. 

Overall, this product was great and I enjoyed using it to review for everyone. I am highly considering adding a vitamin C serum to my everyday skin care routine. Anything that applies quick and easy is great for me. I hate having to apply too many products on my skin because I am so prone to breakouts. Huge thanks to Mystelic Beauty for sending me their Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum to try out and review.

Review: Cassani Fogless Shower Mirror

What is it?

Ever get out of the shower and realize that you are crunched for time. You need to get ready, NOW! You take a look at the mirror and see that it's completely fogged up. What do you do now? Open the door, grab a towel and wipe down the mirror, take out the hair dryer to clear the fog and pray the mirror clears so you still have time to actually look like a functioning human being. (Guilty of all of the above) I don't have to do that anymore thanks to my Cassani Fogless Mirror.

First Impressions

This product is also comes with handy hanging mounts for you to hang your mirror in the shower, as well as a mount to hang your razor. I unfortunately rent my townhouse, so I do not want to ruin my shower walls with the adhesive backing used to hang the mirror. I usually use mine out of the shower anyway while I apply my vitamin C serum, acne spot treatment, and facial moisturizer.
The product is also a huge hit with my soon to be 1 year old! She holds it and looks at herself whenever she gets the chance. One con I would put on it, the mirror is not smudge proof. I am always finding myself cleaning the smudges off of my mirror before I use it. Not a huge deal for me because that's what I get for letting my daughter play with it. This mirror gets an A+ in my book.

Where can I purchase?

This mirror can be purchased on Amazon by searching "Fogless shower mirror" or by using   our amazon product page using the term: "Fogless shower mirror" or using this link.

Review: Coffee dates from where?!

If you like humor books and have a kindle or a smart device where you can download the amazon/kindle app. I recommend you read the book Coffee Dates from Hell by Jim Tilberry.
The book is a very easy reader, I finished it in one night before I settled down for bed. It goes into the history of a few humorous shops, such as a rainforest theme with live monkeys in the shop. You can also read what it is like to go on a coffee date with King Henry VIII, Albert Einstein, or even Abe Lincoln.
The story wasn't a huge gut busting book, but I did have a small chuckle here and there. The book gets an A in my grade book. I may even consider purchasing other stories by Jim Tilberry in the future if I need another quick reader while I have some down time.

Venus Snap Voxbox

What is in the box?

I received a Venus snap razor and a $4 off of a Venus blade refill coupon.

First Impressions

I think it will be a great product for traveling. I personally don't mind taking a regular disposable razor with me when traveling, but I think this will be a welcomed addition to my toiletry bag.
I also LOVE that it has 5 blades. The razors with less blades do not shave as close for me. My leg hair grows a bit fast. I sometimes need to shave my legs daily in the summer and having more blades makes the shave quicker, which is great when I have a 9 month old to tend to.

My only down fall is that I am not very graceful with a regular razor, so I get very nervous about my hand slipping because the handle is so small.
