Liquid Skin Nourishment


Hyaluronic Acid Serum -2 FL OZ- BEST VEGAN Hyaluronic Acid + Vitamin C Serum + Vitamin E + Green Tea - This Anti-Aging Serum for Face Will Reduce Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Discoloration So You Can Obtain Youthful, Radiant, Plump, and Vibrant Skin That You Have Always Desired -TWICE the SIZE- 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed (Misc.)

I received this product for free or trial and review from Insta Natural. The Hyaluronic Acid Serum came in a pretty blue glass bottle with a blue-green label. It was larger than I expected. The serum came in dropper format and the liquid was thick and slightly cloudy. I was not impressed with the scent as it had an unfamiliar scent. It was not unpleasant, but did nothing to appeal to my senses. The serum did spread on smoothly, but seemed to take longer to dry. I was not disappointed with the results, but I like the positives that lead to the results, such as scent, ease of application etc... Some of the ingredients include: Vitamin C, Green Tea, Jojoba oil and other antioxidants. The main ingredient is the Hyaluronic Acid which eliminates fine lines and wrinkles and makes your skin achieve overall health. I like the product, but Insta Natural makes a Vitamin C serum, I liked slightly better. This is worth a try, however. #InstaNatural

Fresh Roses

This review is from: Rose Water Face Toner - 100% Pure & Natural Moroccan Rose Water Facial Toner For Face, Skin & Hair -4OZ- Tones, Cleanses and Hydrates Your Skin Naturally - Guaranteed Results (Misc.)

Wow! I received this product free for trial and review, and I will say it again- Wow! I have heard of rose water. Actually, I have read about it in books in literature. It makes me think of the Victorian era or a time period earlier than today when so many chemical based cosmetics were not in existence. I was not sure what to expect, but I can say the product was so much more than I did expect. As soon as I opened the bottle, the lovely scent of roses wafted through the air. It amazes me how such a strong and dominant scent of roses can be bottled. I tried the rose water in a couple ways. The first way was just as a normal toner after washing my face. It was refreshing and very calming, especially after a long day at work. It almost reminded me of the effect that lavender gives when wanting to be soothed. I believe that this would be a nice remedy for a headache. I also rinsed a little in my hair which I do get colored. I can only describe the effect as squeaky clean. The scent does linger whether it be on your skin or hair. This is a product, I will be purchasing again in the near future. I will also be sharing it with my sisters.#Instanatural

Fresh Orange serum defines skin

I received the Insta Natural Vitamin C Serum for free for use and review. It came in a pretty blue glass bottle with an orange-reddish label. The liquid was a cloudy light orange color, thickish as opposed to watery. What was so tantalizing about it was the fragrant scent of oranges. I do not mean artificial candy orange, but pure orange like juice from a fresh squeezed orange. Tasting it was tempting, not obviously not an option! It was a pleasant surprise and made application more pleasing to the senses. The scent did not longer, so you did not smell like a vitamin C tablet all day. The liquid came out in a dropper format and it came out slowly enough so you could control the amount. It went on very smoothly and spread across the skin very nicely. It left a softness and did not have a sticky feeling. The nice part of this serum is that it is made of natural ingredients. including 20% Vitamin C which may account for the pleasant scent. Vitamin C is an antioxidant used to help repair the skin and to help avoid future damage. Other ingredients include: Hyaluronic Acid (moisturizes skin), Tea Tree Oil (a skin soother), and Retinol (a pore de-clogger). It does not matter what type of skin you have (dry, oily, or combo) as this products is "one size fits all." There was a noticeable difference in the diminishing of fine lines especially around my mouth and eyes. I felt as if my skin was more youthful. Everything you would want in a skin serum can be found in one bottle. I would highly recommend this product. #Instanatural

This review is from: Bitpsy Professional Jumbo Lemon Squeezer with Commercial Grade - Premium Quality Stainless Steel Citrus Juicer (304 Steel)

The BTIPSY Professional lemon squeezer was sent to me free from BTIPSY for use and review. I received the package and could not wait to open it. I was very impressed with the box itself. It had colorful graphics and would have definitely caught my eye in the store. Even before opening the box, I was able to see pictures of the high quality kitchen product and it being used. It is made of high quality stainless steel. It is very sturdy and will last for a long time. It does state on the box it will not break. I cut a lemon and a lime. I rolled each on the counter to get the "juices flowing." I must day, it took little effort on my part to squeeze the juice from either. I did read and then realized that I could squeeze oranges as well. That is going to be my next endeavor. Also., it i that time of year when skin starts to dry out and every little nick burns. This handy tool prevents you from touching the fruit as much as you normally would. And, as far as cleaning, can you say super easy?? I ran it under hot water with some dish soap and it came out looking new. I cannot imagine that it would rust. The best part is that when I am in a hurry, I can throw it in the dishwasher, as it is dishwasher safe. It comes with a 3 year warranty and the company promises total satisfaction. In a 5 star rating, they are not satisfied with any number of stars under a 4! They seem to be genuinely interested in the consumer. Overall, the main reason I was excited to try it was that I am able to squeeze my fruits with ease and little waste. My daughter even stated, "Mom, they use those lemon squeezers on those cooking shows." I will most likely be cooking with and enjoying more lemons and limes whether it be in a recipe, as a topping or in a beverage. Citrus an important part of a healthy diet and the TIPSY lemon squeezer will make consumption rates increase as it will not be a chore to squeeze the juice. Thank you BTIPSY for the awesome product! #BtipsyLemonSqueezer

Body Merry Helps Again

Body Merry Pro-A Retinol Serum

The most recent product I have had he privilege of receiving complementary for trial and review from Body Merry is the Pro-A Retinol Serum.  Like all the other products made by Body Merry, this one is made of all natural ingredients and did not disappoint.  The bottle was a glass brown bottle, not as pretty as the blue bottle, yet the glass I think makes it look classy and of good taste.  The serum is extremely thick and has to be really spread on.  It has a cloudy appearance to it, as it is not clear.  The scent is slightly medicinal and as soon as I spread it on my skin, I could feel the strength of the product at work.  I was not sure at first as it was a feeling of it really cooling and spreading into my skin.  It is obvious something was happening.  Looking at the ingredients again, I saw that it contained maximum strength retinol A.  I am surmising that this, in fact, was the sensation of almost a burning I as feeling on my skin.  It rally sloughs off the dead skin and leaves you with  definite shine.  Natural ingredients include:  herbal water, aloe, Hyaluronic acid, witch hazel, retinol, jojoba oil just to name a few.  Many of the ingredients are standard for the company.  It must be the amount and concentration that I different per product.  I do have to say this was a strong product and I could only use a little bit at a time.  Overall, the product did work.

Protection under makeup

I received the Body Merry Brand Hyaluronic Dew Serum complementary for trial and review.  The first thing that struck me was the pretty bottle that the serum came in.  It is a blue glass bottle with a dropper.  It is very attractive looking and does not look junky on my bathroom counter.  The first thing I did was read the directions.  I decided it was best to try it in the mornings.  I followed the directions step by step.  First I washed and dried my face and neck.  I then applied my regular moisturizer.  Then, came my foundation and make-up.  What I really liked was the fact that it is natural and safe to use on the face area.  I also like that you can use it on our neck which tends to age.    The serum is very thick and clear.  I used about 2 drops each application.  It did not make my skin feel oily, but rather, very soft and smooth.  After a couple week, my skin appeared lighter and some of my fine lines were not as noticeable.  Natural ingredients include: Vitamins C and E, green tea, jojoba oil and polysaccharides.  There is a slight floral scent, but very subtle, that dissipates after application.  This is a very good product and I feel good using it as it does not have artificial ingredients.

Body Merry AgeDefense Eye Cream

Another winner!  I have had the privilege of trying and reviewing The Body Merry Brand of Age Defense Eye Cream complementary by the company.  I have been wearing contact lenses for the last 30 years.  Every time I put my contact lenses in or out, on a daily basis, I pull the delicate tissue around my eyes.  This has caused fine lines.  Also, being a full time working mom, I know I do not get the amount of sleep my body needs.  One day this past month, a colleague asked if I was feeling well.  I know she was kindly saying there are dark circles around my eyes.  Age and environment re no kind to the delicate eye area.  When I opened my Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream I was pleasantly surprised of the way it is dispensed.  It comes in a little pump that gives off jus enough, and is so easy to attain.  The cream is smooth and the scent is unique in a good way- pleasant smelling.  It is so easy to apply and is made of all natural ingredients, so I was not afraid to rub it around my eyes.  I found the best time to use it was at night after taking my contact lenses out.  After only a few days, I noticed a difference.  The skin around my eyes seemed smoother and more supple. Ingredients include:   Vitamins (C, E B5),  Retinol, Peptides, Antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, minerals and pure plant oil.  The cucumber, witch hazel and rose hip oil leave a nice cooling effect on the skin.  I would highly recommend this product.  It has been the type of eye cream I wish I had had 30 years ago.  It is not a disappointment.

Fast Acting Advil

I received samples to try and share of Film Coated Fast Acting Advil.complement of Crowd Tap.  I was very pleased as the little packs as they are easy to carry around.  The Advil was extremely easy to swallow and worked rather quickly to relieve a nasty headache I had from work.  Being a teacher, I cannot afford to get a headache in school  Every little noise is magnified, and with 29 7th graders, I need fast relief.  The results were satisfying.

I then decided to out some samples an coupons out for my colleagues.  Well, who does not like a freebie??  Everyone loves a freebie, but who loves them the most- Teachers!!  those packets and coupons were snatched up faster than lightening.  My job for report was easy. the Advil "sold" itself!

Garcinia Cambogia Supreme

     This is a review on Garcinia Cambogia Supreme, by Life and Food. You may ask, what?  Well, that is what I said when I first saw the name on the website that I choose to review products from.  Honestly, I thought is was some sort of cream, and did not realize it was a capsule.  What does it do, you ask?  Well, it claims to be a formula that suppresses appetite, inhibits fat, and improves energy and serotonin levels.  Basically, it is a dietary supplement that is supposed to make you feel full and speed up your metabolism.  It also contains serotonin which is found in anti-depressants.  I read somewhere that people will eat less if they are happier, thus the reason for the happy pill level included. 
    Now, that I explained it, I will tell you that serotonin has not, does not, nor will agree with my digestive system.  I believe that if you eat a balanced and sensible diet and exercise on a regular basis, your body will naturally speed up its metabolism.  We all look for a quick fix and miracle pill.  I am not saying this pill will not work, as it may for some people.  However,  serotonin is an ingredient that is not kind to all.

Hyaluronic Acid Age- Defying Serum

     I recently have had the opportunity to try and review the product, Hyaluronic Acid Age- Defying Serum with Power Antioxidants, Vitamin C and Green Tea by Morea Naturals. It claims to hydrate, brighten and restore.  The directions say wash and dry face, and then apply a small amount of the serum to face and neck.  The serum is clear and fragrance free.  It seems to have the consistency of water, so it is very light.  You do only need a small amount because a little goes a long way.  It is 72% organic, and goes on very smoothly.  It leaves the skin feeling soft and supple.  I was pleased with this product as it is not greasy and feels very natural.  There is not a feeling of residue on your skin and you can use it at night before bed, or in the morning before applying your makeup.  This product is well worth trying.

Cheese and Fruit Snack

     Complements of Bzz Agent brought to my plate a delicious snack of Arlo Dofino Cheese.  I chose to try out the Edam variety as I had never had it and wanted to be daring and try something new.  The cheese had a very bold and nutty flavor.  It goes perfectly with Granny Smith apples.  The crisp tartness of the apples pared perfectly with the sharp and creamy cheese.  Grapes go well with the flavor variety as well.  The snack is healthy and delicious and can be eaten at any time of the day.  It can be used a snack for kids after school or sports practice.  It can be dressed up as an elegant dessert when company comes.  There are so many combinations with all the varieties of cheese. 

5 Hour Energy

Faculty meetings, teacher in-services, report card time, parent teacher conferences---  How to stay awake an energetic through it all?  I shared the 5 hour energy "secret" with my teacher colleagues.  What made this particular mission so touching is that one of my colleagues is a breast cancer survivor.  I told them I was introduced to 5 Hour energy complements of Smiley 360.  I had seen it in check out aisles, but never was motivated to try it.  Now I will look for different varieties, but I will be sure to stick with the pink lemonade edition where proceeds go toward breast cancer research.

#Yumi Beautiful- an organic rose hip seed oil.  This oil is a hydrating serum that is for all skin types.  I looked at the box when it arrived and it was very eye appealing.  It comes in a white box with pink and rose tones on the top.  I also really like the name.  I have to admit, this whole oil serum thing was anew experience for me.  It comes in a bottle with a dropper and you have to be careful as it flows freely.  It is definitely a brown, oily color and I was not impressed with the scent.  It almost reminded me of a doctor's office or ear drops- I know gross- right!!  Anyway, I had to try it and I have to admit it went on very smoothly and did make my skin feel soft and supple.  Who knows?  Maybe after using it for a while, it will grow on me!

FoxBrim Toner

     Did you ever get home from work or from being outside and feel the need to clean your face?  I remember when I was a teenager using an astringent that made my face tingle, feel refreshed and best of all, clean.  I had the opportunity of reviewing a new and natural toner called #foxbrim.  It contains ingredients that are not "bad" for you.  These include: witch hazel (seems old fashioned to me), aloe (Ahh- always a good ingredient) and vitamin C (interesting).  The bottle is made like a bottle of saline solution would be.  You pop the top and then squirt the astringent on a cotton ball.  There was a slight odor of plastic, which leads me to believe it is supposed to be unscented, and was I was smelling was literally the container.  It was a watery texture and I felt I had to soak the cotton ball.  It did feel natural going on, yet, I did not feel that refreshing/stinging feeling.  I did feel as if I had cleaned my face though.  I would not disregard this product as I am sure it is perfect for those with sensitive skin.  Another bonus is that it is all naural.

Adovia intensive anti-wrinkle cream


style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

We are all aging- scary!!  I have discovered, thanks to Tomoson website, the Adovia intensive anti-wrinkle cream.  It is mineral skin care at its finest.  The packaging is very clean and impressive, and the product itself comes in an eye appealing glass container with a silver lid, frosty body, and blue writing- all very calming.  Upon opening the container, the lid underneath had a pull up tab so it was extremely easy to open.  The scent is one of the first things I noticed as it is very clean and pleasant.  The application of the product is very appealing.  It is rich and creamy, a beautiful clean white, and spreads smoothly and evenly on the skin.  It definitely is an affordable, yet high end product.  #antiwrinkle

Tazo Chai Tea

As a Smiley 360 member, I was sent free samples of Tazo Chai tea along with coupons for free boxes at the store.  I was given a sample of classic, chocolate and vanilla caramel.  I must say, I was not disappointed.  The tea quickly flavored the hot water, and was smooth, creamy and delicious.  Tazo Chai Tea is perfect for Fall weather with chilly mornings and cool evenings.  It is warm, filling and satisfying.  It will also transition as a nice beverage into the winter months.  I highly recommend trying a box of Tazo Chai tea.  It has notes of sweet and spice- who could ask for more?  It is the best of both worlds!
