Red Apple Lipstick

Red Apple Lipstick was generous enough to send me two of their amazing lip gloss.

The first lip gloss I received was Berried Treasure.  This lip gloss is light and creamy.  I love the color, it is subtle and perfect for everyday.  This product is from their Mint 2 Be Formula collection.  It has a hint of mint to it which smells great and feels cool and refreshing on.  I noticed immediately that it only take one application to cover my lips and give me the hint of color I want.  This gloss is not sticky at all and the color seems to last for a good amount of time.  The best thing however is that even after the color is gone I still feel like my lips are softer and more nourished. 

The other lip gloss I received is Dancing Princess.  This lip gloss has small specks of glitter in it.  I have a weird thing about texture so I would have to say I'm not a huge fan of the specks when I rub my lips together.  With that being said, I absolutely love the color and the sparkle of this lip gloss.  I love that it can be worn alone or dressed up by pairing it with another color.  Even with the specks of glitter, this lip gloss is soft and feels like it is nourishing my lips.

Enof

If you haven't heard of this product yet, prepare to be blown away! So what is Enof, you ask?  Enof is concentrated organic vegetables.  Yep, I said it concentrated veggies.  Ok so now let me tell you why I love this product.

First this product is packaged in a bright tin that is similar to a salt container.  You simply sprinkle, pour or spoon Enof onto just about anything.  According to their website, "Just 1/20th of a teaspoon is the nutritional equivalent of 2 1/2 servings of vegetables."  That is pretty amazing!

Second, Enof is made from organic spinach, broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, beets and shiitake mushrooms.  Here are some other nutritional facts that are simply amazing. 

One serving of Enof contains:
Vitamin A - 50% of the recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin C - 60% of your recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin D - 60% of your recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin E - 50% of your recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin K - 35% of your recommended daily allowance.
Vitamin B6 - 60% of your recommended daily allowance.
Thiamin - 45% of your recommended daily allowance.
Folate - 15% of your recommended daily allowance.

Enof is gluten free, calorie free, gelatin free, GMO free, has no artificial colors or high fructose corn syrup. 
 
Now that I have stated all the facts, let me get down to the nitty gritty.  Does this product work?  The answer is yes!  I have two kids who are very picky eaters when it comes to veggies.  I sprinkled a little on top of each of their burgers and waited to see if they noticed.  They both ate their burgers and never said anything.  I couldn't believe it!  It worked!  I have decided that everyone in our family probably could use a little extra nutrition and have been using this on a variety of foods.  If you are like me and have kids who are picky non vegetable eaters or even if you need extra vitamins yourself, you should try this product. 

The Enof website has all the nutritional facts and the process they use if you want to read more about this product.  Enof offers a monthly subscription for $29.95 a month, a single month supply for $38.95, or a 2 day trial for only $1.00.  Best of all they also offer a 30 day money back guarantee.

Kroma

Kroma

Botanical Lip Gloss -
Tube $27.00/Pot $20.00

I have to admit I am obsessed with all things lip.  Lip gloss, lip stick, lip stain etc.  I have tried them all and use one type or another every day! With that being said, I absolutely love the pot this lip gloss comes in.  It is attractive and makes for easy application. 

When I first tried this lip gloss on, I was amazed at how soft it feels when being applied.  It covers better than I expected for being so soft.  This lip gloss adds moisture and seems to continue to moisturize all day. 

The color is both beautiful and subtle, the perfect combination.  The name Kroma means color in greek which is very fitting because this botanical lip gloss is available in 13 colors. 

This lip gloss is all natural with "an organic base, shea butter, aloe extract, green tea, vitamin E and sunscreen.". I am so excited to able to use this product and recommend it to anyone looking for a great botanical lip gloss.

Acure

Acure

Shampoo - Moroccan argan stem cell + argan oil
First things first, I love the packaging.  It is simple yet eye catching.  I opened this shampoo and immediately noticed the smell.  It smells like almond heaven.  If you like almond products you will love this!  I used about a quarter size amount of the clear shampoo for my long hair.  It lathers well, and rinses clean.  I love that this shampoo is gentle yet cleans well. 

Conditioner - Moroccan argan stem cell + argan oil
Again the smell is fantastic.  This conditioner is creamy yet isn't thick like some conditioners.  I typically use two applications of conditioner no matter what because my hair tangles easily.  I applied this conditioner to my hair the first time and let it set for a few minutes.  After rinsing this conditioner out my hair felt smooth and tangle free.  I did use a second application of this conditioner however I used a lot less the second time around than I typically feel the need to with other conditioners.  I have noticed that it helps to control my natural frizz and I love that it leaves my hair soft and shiny.

Body Wash - Sea buckthorn and CoQ10
The smell is the same as the shampoo and conditioner.  This body wash is clear yet creamy.  A little bit does go a long ways.  It lathers well and leaves my skin feeling clean and moisturized.  This body was is also all natural.  It has been great for my sensitive skin.  I have also used this body wash for my daughter who has slight eczema.  It has not upset her eczema, has made her skin soft and moisturized.  I also noticed that it doesn't seem to hurt if she gets it in her face.  I love this body wash and will be looking to try it in other scents as well.

Argan Oil
If you don't already know argan oil seems to be the new thing.  After doing some research I know why.  Argan oil is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants and is used for a wide variety of cosmetic benefits.  Argan oil also helps to minimize breakouts because of its anti-inflammatory properties.  I have used this product before bed and have noticed a difference in my trouble spots.  I love that it absorbs quickly.  My skin feels moisturized and not irritated.  I also have always had trouble with my cuticles being dry and always have hang nails.  After using this argan oil for a short period of time, my cuticles are less dry and overall feel healthier.  I would most definitely recommend Acure argan oil. 

Acure products are amazing.  So far I have loved everything I have tried.  Most of all I love that their products are color safe, vegan, gluten free, paraben free, phthalate free, cruelty free and 100% biodegradable.  I am excited to try other products from Acure.

Limerance

Limerance

Body Oil
4 oz./$18.00 

When I first received this product, I sprayed it on my legs after showering and noticed that it felt and looked like water.  I realized right away that it needed to be mixed up.  I shook it up really well and tried it again on a different spot on my leg.  This time I noticed a light and fresh scent.  I also noticed a shiny look and feel to my skin.  After using it several times I could feel a difference in the texture of my skin.  It makes my skin soft and radiant.  I love the ease of the spray application.  It covers easily and I like that it absorbs quickly.  I love this body oil.  It is light and not oily at all.  Best of all it really hydrates my skin.  It is made with pressed peach kernel oil and food grade Beech Tree extract.

Beautiful Face Cream 
1 oz./$30.00

My first thought after opening this product was that it was very thick and creamy.  This product has no smell which is great.  I applied it to my face and was impressed with how well it covers.  For being so thick, it isn't greasy at all.  It is light and nourishing.  This face cream has not upset my somewhat sensitive skin like many products do.  It is made of 79 minerals, gold, peptides, and pressed peach kernels which strengthen, moisturize, and help keep skin looking youthful.  It also contains MSM, and carotenoids which are antioxidants.   

After using this face cream my face looks tighter, and feels smooth.  It is well worth the money!

Exquisite Lip Balm
$2.50 

When I first saw this lip balm I was not excited to try it.  I'm a sucker for packaging, I admit.  The packaging for this lip balm is pretty plain.  After opening the lip balm I had a change of heart.  I was immediately impressed with the smell.  It smells really good.  I applied the lip balm to my lips and it feels amazing.  The product itself definitely makes up for the packaging.  This lip balm soothes chapped dry lips.  It also last a long time, and does not require multiple applications to keep working.  It is made with sweet almond oil, beeswax, organic berry and natural honey flavors and vitamin E oil.  Limerance recommends using this before sleeping but I have used it both before bed and during the day.  I love this all natural lip balm!


Wrinkle/Acne Face Drops 

Again this product has to be shaken well before using.  I love the dropper application.  It makes it easy to apply only a small amount.  A little bit goes a long ways.  These drops are rich and feel good on my skin.  I applied these drops to some problem spots on my chin before bed.  The next morning I noticed that these drops had dried up some of my small acne spots overnight.  It does leave my face shiny so I use it before bed instead of in the morning.  It is made with pine oil and extract, silica, sweet orange, and potassium iodide.
I really like this product and will continue to use it to treat trouble spots.

Laline

Laline

Make Offs
$8.95
The package is cute and the cover slides for easy access and to help keep make offs moist.  These make up wipes smell great but are not too strong.   Unlike most make up wipes out there, these do not contain alcohol.  These make up wipes are gentle on my sensitive skin.  They work really well and I love that you can clean your entire face with only one wipe.  Laline make offs contain B5 which hydrates, aloe which soothes, and Vitamin E which protects. All in all I love these make offs and would recommend them to anyone wanting a gentle natural make up remover wipe.

Coconut Milk Roller Ball
$9.95
The packaging is adorable and the perfect size to take with you.  This product smells great but it is very strong in the bottle.  I do have to say the scent changed and isn't nearly as strong after being applied to my wrist as it was in the bottle.  It only takes a tiny bit when applying, you really don't need to roll it on more like just dab it on so it doesn't become overpowering. The scent lasts all day even with just a dap first thing in the morning.  The scent is "a combination of amber and musk, with a hint of peach and a twist of grapefruit and lemon."  I like this product and will be looking to try this in other scents also.

Coconut Verbena Body Scrub
$24.95
Again, the packaging is perfect! I put a dime sized amount in my hand and scrubbed my hands together really well.  This body scrub smells so good I didn't want to rinse it off.  After scrubbing, I reluctantly rinsed my hands with warm water.  Right away I noticed that the water began to bead up on my hands.  I dried my hands off and was amazed at how incredibly soft and smooth my hands felt.  Also after rinsing I noticed the smell remained but was a little softer.  This product exfoliates and makes skin feel like new.  My skin felt soft and moisturized. It is the perfect combination of ingredients including dead sea minerals, grape seed oil, avocado oil, and Vitamin E. I can easily say this is my new favorite product!

Lip Gloss
$11.95
I received this lip gloss in the color called bellini.  I love the color in the bottle.  When I applied it however I didn't notice any color to this gloss just a shiny glossy look.  I really like the gloss and it would be great either alone or over a different color.  It smells good, is nourishing and feels good on.  I also love that though this lip gloss is a slightly sticky it seems to last for a good period of time.  I don't mind and normally would reapply throughout the day anyways.  I will be looking to try this gloss in other colors as well.

Brand Backer

Pure Raspberry Ketones

Pure Raspberry Ketones from Summit Nutritions
12O capsules

I took this product and did notice a slight raspberry taste.  The directions say to take 15-20 minutes before breakfast and lunch.  I tend to skip lunch so I have been taking it about 30 minutes before breakfast and 30 minutes before dinner.  I can definitely say it has helped to control my appetite. 

I have also added exercise.  With taking pure raspberry ketones and exercising, I have seen an improvement in my energy levels.  I don't get the jitters with this product like other similar products.  I also have seen a slight drop in weight.  I don't exercise as much as I should but I can tell you I am confident that the weight would fall off much faster with more exercise and the use of this product. 

I love that it is 100% pure.  This product has "no additives, no binders, no fillers and no artificial ingredients."

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking to add a natural weight loss supplement to their regular exercise routine.

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.

Maple Holistics

Vitamin C Anti Aging Serum
1 fl. oz./$24.99

The first thing I noticed about this product was that a little bit goes a long ways.  I wasn't sure about the dropper at first but it really works.  It makes it very easy to apply especially when you don't need more that a drop or two.

I really like that there is no odor to this product. After applying this serum to the area around my eyes, I immediately noticed that it feels light and has a slight cool or refreshing feeling.  It does not feel greasy but I did notice that it becomes slightly sticky for a brief moment on my skin. It doesn't feel sticky in a bad way but more so like its tightening. 

I love that it has Aloe Vera in it also.  Aloe is known to be good for moisturizing, treating acne, and fighting signs of aging among many other benefits.  Other ingredients include Vitamin E and Hyaluronic Acid both which has amazing benefits for skin.

I have always looked for homeopathic solutions for health care and now have realized the benefits of using homeopathic products for my beauty routine as well.  With that being said, Maple Holistics website states "We have one vision in mind - to provide a natural, holistic panel of premium homeopathic products."
Not only do they offer great natural products but they also offer 100% money back guarantee. How great is that?

I really like this serum.  It has helped to brighten my skin tone and leaves my face feeling refreshed.  I have a few sun spots and after using this product I have noticed a change in the appearance of those spots.  I am so glad I found this product and this company.

Savannah Bee

Savannah Bee
Royal Jelly Body Butter Sensitive
1.65 oz/$12.90

First off, I love the packaging! I mean how could you not? The box is adorable, and the bottle is shaped perfectly. 

Next, let me just say that I take after my mom in the sensitive skin area.  I have always had somewhat sensitive skin and even a sensitivity to strong smells. With that being said, I was overjoyed to see that this product comes in both original and sensitive.  The fragrance is really spot on.  By that I mean that it smells good without being too overpowering. 

The body butter is very soft and creamy. It is light and absorbs quickly which is great.  I like that I don't have to spend a bunch of time rubbing it in or waiting for it to dry. 

The best thing about this product, however, is its natural ability to heal and moisturize skin.  I started using this product on this annoying spot I have on front part of my ankle.  For whatever reason, this darn spot has been stubborn and hard to get rid of.  I have tried various moisturizers and creams with no relief.  I began using Savannah Bee Royal Jelly Body Butter on this spot regularly about a week ago and I am so happy to say that this rough spot is now soft and no longer stands out like it did before.  I will continue to use this body butter on trouble spots, especially throughout the winter when I feel my skin needs an extra boost of moisture.

Natural Ingredients Per the Savannah Bee website:

Pairs hive ingredients with shea butter, cocoa butter, pecan oil and orange peel wax for additional skin hydration

Honey is a natural humectant, pulls moisture from air and feeds the skin

Royal Jelly includes lipids, amino acids and proteins which help smooth and brighten the skin and improve elasticity

Beeswax includes a softening agent that creates a protective shield against the elements

Propolis includes vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, Biotin, High Bioflavonoids, promotes smoother skin

With those type of ingredients how can you go wrong?  My skin after using this product feels refreshed, hydrated and soft.  I recommend this product and personally can't wait to try other products from Savannah Bee.

Camille Beckman

Camille Beckman
Glycerin Hand Therapy

This product is changing the look and feel of my hands. I have to admit I have never had very girly hands. I bite my nails, my hands are rough and my cuticles could use some help.  Well, I'm happy to say help has arrived! I have been using Camille Beckmans Glycerin Hand Therapy regularly for about a week and I can definitely see a change. My hands are softer, my cuticles are healthier and my hands just feel great! This product coats your skin instantly without being greasy. I can see why this product is world famous!

The key ingredients: Glycerine which is used to seal in moisture.
Vitamin E which protects skin.
Aloe Vera which also moisturizers and is used to improve skins elasticity.
Almond oil which absorbs easily, is not greasy and protects skin.
This is a winning combination.

If you have not tried Camille Beckmans Glycerin Hand Therapy I encourage you to get some and try it. You won't be let down.

Though there is a large variety of scents available, I have only tried these three.

• Rosewater - A lovely rose scent that is not overpowering.
• Tuscan Honey - A soft relaxing scent of amber and honey.
• Camille - A soft and inviting floral scent.

Harvey Prince

Harvey Prince
Eu Fling
1.7 oz./$55.00

I was overjoyed to have won this product in a giveaway.  When I got it I was so excited but the package was so cute I almost didn't want to open it. After bringing myself to open the box, I sprayed just a little on my wrist and right away was in love with this scent.  It smells sensual but not too strong with notes of jasmine, lavender, black currant, plum, raspberry, apple, nutmeg, cinnamon and musk. 

I have decided this is a new favorite scent of mine and will be trying other scents from Harvey Prince.  I especially love, according to their website http://harveyprince.com
that their perfumes are "Crafted locally in the USA, using the finest essential & natural oils from around the world. 100% Cruelty Free and absolutely no animal testing, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, benzene, GMOs, or triclosan."
