Belle Peau Beauty - Dark Spot Corrector



Hyaluronan makes up the majority of your skin tissue, that is related to tissue repair. When a persons skin gets overly present to UVB rays, which generally results in a sunburn, the cells located in the dermis ultimately stop producing the proper amount needed of hyaluronan acids which would then increase the deterioration of the skin. When deterioration in the skin begins it starts to form little dark spots on the skin.

Kojic acid is used in cosmetics to lighten skin. It can also treat skin diseases like melasma, which are tan or dark skin discolorations which normally appear on pregnant women or those taking oral or patch contraceptives. Kojic acid appears to have protective effects against damage that are radiation induced.

When using this product I really liked the smell and the cool feeling I felt when I applied the product. Once the product dried it didn't feel sticky at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who may have any sun or dark spots. I will also do a follow up post with pictures of before and after to see if there truly is a difference. :)

SLIMQUICK Pure Extra Strength Drink Mix



Slimquick pure extra strength drink mix is meant to help women lose 3 times the weight. It addresses the six problem areas as to why many have trouble losing weight; it increases your metabolism, reduces your appetite, provides more energy, reduces any excess water your body can be holding on to, supports hormones, and helps reduce stress. There are natural ingredients in each packet like, calcium, antioxidants, vitamin D and exclusive BioPure green tea. All of which are great to promote your weight loss. Green tea plays a large role in weight lose due to speeding up the metabolism, which helps lose weight quicker than just dieting alone.

The way you take this product is that on day 1 you have one serving in the morning and one in the afternoon, for day 2 you have two servings in the morning and one in the afternoon, on day 3 you take two servings in the morning and two at night, and continue on with doing two servings in the morning and two in the afternoon starting on day 4. You do not want to have this drink within 5 hours of bedtime due to there being caffeine in the mix. Be sure to drink this with food.

When I first got this product I wasn't really sure as to how it would taste, so when I had my first drink I was surprised as to how good it tasted. I love the taste of the berries. It switches things around when you only drink water. I don't think that I can get tired of drinking this mix. It's crazy to think that something that tastes so good has 0 calories. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is trying to lose weight. :) I will post an update once I have finished all of my samples and let you all know how it goes!

Secret Outlast Deoderant - Clear Gel in Completely Clean



I was excited to receive my sample from Secret for their Outlast clear gel deodorant. I could not wait to try out my sample. The scent that I received is called completely clean, and I love it. I love the scent, how it feels after I put it on. I definitely love how I never need to worry about getting white marks from using the traditional stick. Before when I use to use the traditional stick I'd still feel my armpits sweating and often felt I should reapply during the day. With the clear gel I don't have to worry about that, because I can trust that it will keep me dry. I totally recommend this product to people searching for a new deodorant to try or are simply tired of white marks.

You can purchase this on Amazon or at your nearest Wal-mart, Target, and/or drug store.

Doctor's Choice Probiotic



Probiotics are designed to help the body reintroduce healthy bacteria back into the body. Benefits include positive results in treating diarrhea and gastroenteritis, encourages brain function, lowers bad cholesterol and blood pressure, helps treat irritable bowel syndrome, protects against bacterial infection.

The Doctor's Choice Probiotic is ideal as a daily supplement, mainly because of the "12 super-strain" formula. Each strain of probiotic has a unique affect on your body, having 12 is beneficial to your body in more ways rather than focusing on one particular issue. Each capsule contains 15 billion CFU, which are colony-forming units, a unit used to estimate the number of viable bacteria or fungal cells in a sample at the date of manufacture. The idea of the CFUs is, the more there are the better chance of the bacteria reproducing in your body and at a faster rate.

There are many brands of probiotics on the market, and I was able to test and review the Doctor's Choice brand. With them you need to take tablet once a day, either before or during a meal. They are not too big to take and are easy to swallow. These capsules are non-dairy, non-GMO, gluten free, soy free, preservatives free, and vegan. In each bottle you will receive 60 of the veggie capsules.

There are a couple issues I came across though. First of all, there were two poorly sealed capsules in my bottle of sixty. It looks like when the two halves of the capsule were being closed together that one half was bent and forced over the other half, creating a tear/ripple. After doing a little research I've read that it is important that most probiotics need to stay sealed from heat and moisture, and other sites even mention to keep them from light to keep the live bacteria from dying.

Also there is no expiration date on the bottle I received. The website and Amazon.com page both describe a long shelf life, but how long is "long"? Probiotics contain living bacteria meant to grow and replenish bacteria lost inside you, but if they all die before you get them in to your body then they wont be able to do anything at all, except waste your money.

Glow Stick Bracelets - 100 Bracelets



I don't think that I have ever met anyone that doesn't enjoy glow sticks. They're great to have for any occasion or events. You can never go wrong with them! I used these to hand out at our July 4th cookout and they loved it. It comes with 100 glow sticks in a pack along with 100 connectors to make either bracelets or necklaces. Very easy to use, just bend thee sticks and give them a small shake. They all seemed to work great except for mini dead spots where there are air pockets, but that's to be expected with glow sticks. I would definitely recommend these to family and friends for parties!

Fusion4K HDMI cable - 3ft Professional Series



The most important thing about 4K and Ultra HD is understanding the differences. The most important feature on this cable is the new HDMI 2.0 standard. I'm not going to explain the differences in detail between this version of HDMI and the old version but there are important things you should know. First of all, if you don't have a 4K or Ultra HD TV you probably don't need this cable. If you do own a new higher resolution TV then this cable is going to bring you higher frame rates, more colors, and better sound quality. With the old HDMI standard (1.4) your limited to 24 frames per second for 4K and Ultra HD, 16.7 million colors versus 68.7 billion, and 8 channels of audio versus 32 channels. This sounds impressive, and it is, but for a casual TV watcher these changes will be subtle, especially if you don't have a larger TV. Not to mention, as of right now, the content for this level of quality is very limited. BUT, if these things are important to you, and you have, or are getting, the equipment to match definitely take a look at this cable. (Note that the things I have listed here is not an exhaustive list of features implemented by HDMI 2.0. I recommend doing research on your own and figuring out whats best for you.)

As far as the cable itself goes, I like the fact that the cord itself is not plain PVC like other cheaper cables are, but rather protected with some nylon mesh netting. This will work perfectly with any HDMI setup and I currently use mine to project my laptop to my TV. Someday when I get the money to upgrade my TV, this cable is going to maximize my picture quality for sure. For a high end home entertainment setup, this is a must have!

11 in 1 Credit Card Wallet Knife



When camping or biking or even just hiking, having a little survival tool kit is always something you want to have around. I love how compact this wallet knife is, you can tell from the name it definitely fits in your wallet, which of course is great! Along with the wallet knife there is a little slip cover to protect the product and yourself as it has some sharp edges. A cool bonus that it comes with is a little card that tells you what each use is and where it is located by a numbered system. As I mentioned before I do think this is a great item to have even if you aren't going outdoors like camping. If you do decide to purchase this product (link below), please make sure the little ones don't play with it, since it does have sharp edges. I think I'm going to be keeping mine in the car for emergencies or for when I don't have any real tools with me.

Ebook - Oranit: Crossed Lines



When reading books, I like to give them a chance because I think all books deserve that. With being provided this book for free for an honest review, that is what I am going to do. This book must have not been for me even though I love to read murder mysteries. To me it felt like it was too slow and my personal interest is in faster paced books. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who may like a slower pace that is a murder mystery.

Justified Laboraties Professional Strength Teeth Whitening Kit



Right off the bat when I popped the cover for the syringe I was surprised to find out that it has a mint scent and of course when I popped it into my mouth it tasted minty. I've done other whitening strips and they where awful tasting. This product is very easy to apply and use. I received 5 syringes, a whitening tray, and blue light to activate the hydrogen peroxide in the treatment. Each syringe provides you with 5 uses which I thought was great because you don't have to use much. When I received the kit I saw that there was an issue with my tray. I contacted the seller and they were great with sending me a replacement. But don't let that stop you from trying this great product.

100% PURE & NATURAL LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OIL - 4oz



Out of all essential oils available, lavender oil is the most versatile. It's very easy to bring lavender oil into your life without spending time to figure that out. You can use it as a perfume, mood booster, or even part of a first aid kit. If you're ever feeling stressed you just need to drop a few drops of oil in your hands, then breathe in the aroma. Follow that by placing some oil on your temples or even feet and just relax! Speaking of relaxing you can also use the lavender oil as a sleeping aid by putting a drop on your hands and smoothing it out on your pillow case. As I had mentioned you can have lavender oil in your first aid kit; used for bee stings or bites, minor burns, and even cuts. By placing a couple drops on a cut it helps to stop bleeding, clean the wound, and kill bacteria. Ever have dry skin or chapped lips? The oil can help you with that too. As you can see it's a great product. I love the smell of it and I will definitely be using this oil more now that I know more about the benefits of using lavender oil.

To get your own bottle of lavender oil you can purchase it on Amazon

NOUVEAU/ORGANICA 100% USDA Organic Ultra Hydrating Face Moisturizer



I just want to say how much I love this product. With it being 100% USDA Certified Organic, every ingredient is sourced without having exposure to antibiotic, pesticides, growth hormones, or synthetic fertilizers. The moisturizer is 100% vegan which means that there are no animal ingredients or bi-products. I also love the fact that they don't test on animals. The ingredients in the product are all unrefined and unprocessed vegan plant based which are used to get the best vitamin content. Not is this product organic and vegan, it is also Gluten-Free, Soy-Free, and Dairy-Free, which is great for individuals with certain allergies. When I used this product on my face I loved how it felt, making it feel very smooth. You don't even need much to put on, just like it says in it's instructions. You just use about a pea-sized amount, or a little more if you have really dry skin. There are multiple different uses for this moisturizer like for; dry cuticles, cracked heals, dry/rough elbow and knee, that's just to name a few. The possibilities are pretty much endless.

OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel



I've tried this product a few times since I received it. For me there hasn't been much of a change in terms of what it looked like, but I definitely felt more firm around my eyes. It does smell nice, a scent of cucumbers, so it is almost as if you have cucumbers covering your eyes! You can use this product as an all over face treatment or just around the eyes. It is safe to use morning and night, and works well under makeup. This would be a great product for anyone that wants to reduce any puffiness, wrinkles, dark circles and more.

"Terminal Life" by Richard Torregrossa



I always enjoy a good suspense/thriller novel, where it takes you on this adventure and you don't know where you will end up next. That is how I felt when I read "Terminal Life", it makes you want to just keep reading to find out what happens at the end of every chapter. Follow a young man's transformation from honest citizen to a "suited hero" as he seeks revenge for his murdered wife and missing son. This gripping tale will pull at your heart in hopes for a happy ending to the very end.

Lazy Lidz Sleep Mask



Your internal clock responds to light conditions, that is why your body needs darkness to rest. When I held this product I loved how the inside was soft and that the strap is adjustable by velcro, although, while the Lazy Lids functions fine as a basic sleep mask, it lacks a feature I would prefer. When I put it on it felt very tight against my eyes without making the mask too loose; it would be better if instead of laying flat if they were curved to put a gap between your eyes and the mask. What was cool though is that the mask came with memory foam earplugs to minimize any noise around you that can be stored on the strap of the mask. For me the mask did not work as I would have hoped, but they do offer a 30 day satisfaction guarantee.

J.I's Mouse Deodorizer



I was never fond of mouse traps that snap or the ones that have the glue, but when I saw this one that just deters them away I was glad. This product is safe to have around children and pets since it doesn't have any poison, so you can trust that nothing will happen if you use this product inside the house, but also works great in garages and sheds. There would be no reason to have to clean up any dead mice since they don't eat or touch it. They just simply do not like the smell of it, that is why I prefer to have this product over others that would have poisons etc. It also smells really good. =P The odor[scent] removes the existing scent of other mice that may have been in the area that the pouch is placed in. I recommend this product to parents and pet owners.

25oz Infuser Water Bottle



Refillable bottles like these are always great to have around, especially since you save money since your not buying bottled water, not to mention you're helping the environment too. This infuser comes as a 25 ounce bottle that is BPA and lead free. You have the freedom to use this as a normal water bottle or enhance your drink with fruit using the removable infuser. The cover of the bottle is a push button flip top and a twist lock to ensure it does not pop open. The bottle should fit most car cup holders but don't leave it in your car during the day if it's too hot because it may melt, also it is not dishwasher safe which is an important feature.

AlphaShades Car Windshield Sunshade

I hate when summer comes and you have to get into this crazy hot car and try to drive when the steering wheel is scorching. With the AlphaShades Car Windshield Sunshade I don't have to worry about burning my fingerprints off. The steering wheel isn't hot and the belt buckles aren't ready to burn you. Of course the shade will not keep all the heat out but I think that it does quite well. It's very easy to put in place as well as remove. It comes with a pouch for out of sight storage.
