I have been using both the Face Wash & Facial Cleanser For Women & Men – Exfoliating Face Wash Helps With Blemishes & Blackheads – Natural Face Wash with Jojoba Beads – Gentle For Sensitive Skin – Acne Face Wash for Women & Men and Anti Aging Face Cream & Wrinkle Cream – Perfect Facial Moisturizer For Day & Night Cream – Proprietary Formula with Hyaluronic Acid & Tri-Peptides To Support Skin Tightening, Brightening, Anti Wrinkle.

I use the Face Wash first, which is really gentle, and is a scrub as well.  It has Jojoba beads, which are natural, and help to promote healthy, clean, skin.  It is a thick liquid, and has a light, pleasant smell.  It should be used twice a day for maximum benefit.

The Anti Aging Cream comes after I have used a toner on my face.  It has the clear plastic pull off top, and then you make a hole in the middle of the white plastic, and push it down, for the cream to come through the hole.

What I love about this one is that once it doesn’t work with this method, you can unscrew that top, and get the remainder of the cream to use.  I had a similar product, and once the cream didn’t come up, I couldn’t get the rest out.  I ended up cutting the top off, only to find one third of the cream, that would have been thrown away.

This cream is thick, off white, and has a light floral fragrance.  It goes into the skin almost immediate, with no greasy feeling.

A little from the Amazon webpage:

‘Can It Be True???
Finally, a cream that will get your friends talking about you and how young your skin is looking. A cream that will get you the double looks you used to get when you were younger. A cream that will bring out that amazing smile you have. A cream that doesn’t have to be greasy to hydrate and moisturize. A cream that is mild enough to not cause breakouts but strong enough to penetrate deep wrinkles of desired outcomes. These are the things we wanted to target when formulating a face lotion and making a wrinkle cream that really works.
High Quality Ingredients
Our proprietary formulation has been made for people like you and us! We all want to see results from using a cream that is long lasting without side effects like other products. This is why we only use ingredients of the highest quality that have shown in cases of protecting and repairing skin while decreasing wrinkles caused by aging and sun damage. That’s why we included ingredients like Plant Stem Cells, Tri-Peptides, and hyaluronic acid; they’re what sets us apart from everyone else. We of course use ingredients to add smoothness like shea butter, sunflower oil, vitamin E, and aloe vera.’

I am loving both products, and they really work well together.  The prices are very reasonable, although I was lucky enough to receive mine for free.

Earlier this week I received 3 products from Amazon, they were: Body Merry Day and Night Eye Gel, Lebboulder Workout Gloves, and  PB Fitness Knee Support Elastic Compression Sleeve.

The Body Merry Eye Gel contains Vitamin C, silk proteins, natural Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C.  This helps with dark circles, fine lines, and puffiness.  I haven’t used it long enough to tell you how well it is working.

The Workout Gloves are really great.  The front of the knuckles, right to the wrist have protection.  They have gaps on the back of the hand for less sweating,  The gloves have a long wrist wrap, which is great for my right wrist, that has a titanium plate, steel rod, and 7 screws in it.  They are comfortable to wear, and protect the areas needed when lifting weights, and flipping tires.

The PB Fitness Knee Support Elastic Compression Sleeve is a must for my right knee.  I tore the meniscus about 18 months ago, and now I can’t twist the knee.  It keeps it in place, so that I can go back and forward, also side to side.

All in all, I am happy with these products.

 

Set Of 8 100% Pure Essential Oils Set Made in USA 10ml-Aromatherapy and Therapeutic Grade-Complete Kit, by VYTALLIA.

Posted in Beauty products, Essential Oils, gifts, toiletriesTagged , , , , , , Leave a comment

I am using the Vytallia Essential Oil Collection Aromatherapy gift set.

It comes in a black box, and there are 8 essential oils. The fragrances: Lavender, Lemongrass, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Orange, Rosemary, Frankincense, and Eucalyptus.

They are 10 ml bottles with a dropper in the top of the bottle, and are 100% pure. The quality is therapeutic grade.

I opened the Frankincense, as that has to be one of my favorites, and it is super strong. I use Shea butter, a carrier oil, and added a few drops of this essential oil, to make my own Shea butter. I also added a small amount to my Essential Oil Diffuser. My body, and my home smells amazing.

I tend to use Lavender in the bedroom, and peppermint when I want a refreshing smell.

This gift set offers the best quality, and a great selection. I would be happy to get this as a gift anytime.  It is nicely presented, and an ideal present for that lady in your life.

Eyeshadow, Makeup Palette, Glitter, Matte Eyeshadows, 35 Colors Highly Pigmented by ETEREAUTY

Posted in Beauty productsTagged , , , , , 10 Comments

When it comes to eye-shadow colors, I tend to go for nude, beige/brown, and similar colors.  I blend them in together so that they look subtle.

That is why I bought the Etereauty Eyeshadow Palette.  You can see the colors in my photos, and they come in

matte, and shimmer colors.

I start off putting the lightest color over my eyelid, and then adding darker colors, blending them in.  This creates a flattering look, that doesn’t make me feel like a ‘painted doll’, if you get my drift.

This palette of 35 colors, are a good size, and certainly worth the $7.89 price.  I did get mine for a couple of dollars cheaper, on a group site.  We are not asked for a review, and none is expected.  However, I thought these to be good quality, and excellent value, so personally wanted to share this product with you.

Posted in Beauty products, Essential Oils, skin careTagged , , , , , , 4 Comments

The Naturopathy pure Lavender Essential Oil, is a perfect size for when I am traveling. It is 100% full strength, excellent quality, and is great to use with a carrier oil, and shea butter, to create your own body butter.  You can use any of the Naturopathy range of essential oils to create a rich healthy body butter.

I also use mine in an essential oil diffuser. Lavender helps me relax, as well as sleep.  It has to be one of my favorite fragrances.

It comes in a brown bottle to protect the content, and has it’s own dropper, so that none gets wasted, or you use too much.

Bluetooth Body Fat Scale,VICOODA Bathroom Scale with IOS and Android App Smart Wireless Digital Scale for Body Weight, Body Fat, Body Water, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, BMI, BMR and Visceral Fat.

Posted in Bathroom, Beauty products, health, Home products, technologyTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I have had my bathroom weighing scales for around 8 years now, and they are still working fine, but I couldn’t link my numbers to the phone for a record of them.

The VICOODIA Bluetooth Body Fat Scale has all the extras I was looking for.  

I read the Instruction Manual first, which comes in several languages.  I then put the batteries, that come with the smart scales, into the back of the product.  I placed it on the flat surface of my bathroom floor.

I then got my android phone, and you can do it with OIS phones too, and went to the ‘Play Store’.  I downloaded the iWellness 3.0. app, and then paired it to my phone.  It took a couple of minutes.

When I opened the app, it gave me prompts to add my information, and my target weight.  I then got on the weighing scales with bare feet.  The scales showed ___ 3 times, and then I clicked Yes on my phone, and all the information went into my smartphone.

I have taken a photo from my husband’s phone, so you can see the layout on mine.  The next day, just stand on the scales, and the lines will come up again, and press yes, and you have the details.  You can then go back, and check your progress.

One thing I have to tell you is that these will be my scales.  In the Safety Precautions it states:  Not recommended for any person using a pacemaker or other internal device.  My husband has a pacemaker/defibrillator, so will keep the other scales for him.

I love the thin, white, elegant scales, with silver rounded lines on it.  This makes a nice change from my black ones.

I have tested it for several days now, and am extremely pleased with it’s performance, and the accuracy of them.  The weight is identical with both sets of scales.

I did receive mine for free, and feel that I can give an honest review, after testing them.

Improving my looks with YouTurn products.

Posted in Beauty products, skin careTagged , , , , , , , Leave a comment

I received the Lash Growth Serum for Fuller & Thicker Lashes & Brows, as well as the Eye Cream for Dark Circles, Puffiness , and Under Eye Bags recently.

First off I wanted to give it a little time to see what I think about the products. It is probably more difficult for me to know how well it does, because I have been using lash growth serums for years, and also use anti-wrinkle cream for the eye area.

 

I started both at the same time, and love the fine brush for the lash serum. I am able to apply it to the lash area, where it joins my eyelids. I only apply to the top lashes. I have thick brows, so certainly don’t need it. My lashes are so much better than years ago, before I used any serum, so know that this will keep them the same, or may give me a little more length, and thickness.

The eye cream comes out in a thin ribbon, that allows you to use a smaller amount, which in turn will last you much longer. It is really creamy, and goes into my skin well. It can be applied a.m. and p.m. using upward gently strokes. Wait until it has gone into your skin completely before applying makeup. There is no fragrance to it.

I have to say how pleased I am with both products, and at $10 each, they are very reasonably priced. I did receive mine for free, and have tested them, and will continue to do so.

Love the smell of Jasmine, and when I can’t get it from the garden anymore, I use my Majestic Pure Essential Oil.

Posted in Beauty products, Essential Oils, health, Mother's day, Valentine's DayTagged , , , , , , , 2 Comments

I am really into Essential Oils, and use them on a daily basis.  Right now I have Jasmine, in a vase, as it runs along my back fence.  The smell is wonderful, but next month I will be using my Majestic Pure Lavender Oil, Natural, Therapeutic Grade, Premium Quality Blend of Lavender Essential Oil.

 

 

It comes in a 4 ounce bottle with a dropper, so that you can use as many, or as few drops as you require.  I use mine in my diffuser, and also with Shea butter, a carrier oil, to make my own body butter.

The smell of lavender takes me back to my childhood, when my mother, and I would make lavender bags.  We would put them under the pillow, and in clothing drawers, to make everything smell floral.  It also helped us to sleep, or that is what I was told.

I had almost finished my other bottle, so a perfect time to get this free product.  Because I love the lavender essential oil, my review is totally unbiased.

Enjoying my Skymore Essential Oils.

Posted in Beauty products, Essential OilsTagged , , , , , , , , , , , , 7 Comments

I get through so many essential oils as I have Essential Oil Diffusers in every room of my home.  I also use them with a carrier oil, and Shea butter to make my own body butter/moisturizer.

There are 6 in the box, and comprise off Tea Tree, Lemon Grass, Eucalyptus, Sweet Orange, Mint, and Lavender.  I tend to use the lavender for my body butter, but love the mint and citrus smells in my diffusers.

They are 100% pure and natural, so are healthy and safe, also non-toxic.  These bottles are small 10 ml. size, which are perfect to sit in my bathrooms.  I use the bigger bottles in my larger rooms.  They drop well, which allows you to count the amount you use.

The essential oils are very strong, which is great

as you can use less, and they will last longer.

I am really pleased with these, and did receive them at a reduced price.

Jovan Musk For Men. Aftershave Cologne 8 Ounces

Posted in Beauty products, gifts, Men's accessoriesTagged , , , , 3 Comments

It’s funny how my lack of writing reviews has come to a standstill, since all the problems with Amazon.

My husband has been wearing Jovan Musk since I bought it for him, and it could now be 30 years or more.  You know how a fragrance is just you, well that’s how it is with him.  I have actually been using my same perfume for 49 years.

Other years before places like K-Mart closed down, I would buy up all their boxes of Jovan Musk after Christmas, when they were half price.  Now I have to pay full retail, so checked around, and found that the cheapest price was on Amazon.  I got this big 8 ounce bottle for $15.12.  It was at least $20 everywhere else I checked.

It is a real manly smell, and many lady friends of ours tell him how good it smells, on him.

There are smaller bottles, as well as spray bottles, but this one works out cheapest per fluid ounce.

I bought this on March 26th, and only just got the enthusiasm to write about it.
