I love the metallic colors!  They are bright and compliment each other very well.  The shimmer eye shadows are soft and blend easily. 

Eye Pencil:
I Want- True matte black

I don't normally wear black, however I do like that this is matte.  It goes on nicely and even though it is black it doesn't look to dark on me. 

Lip Gloss:
Loved You First- Bubble gum pink

Irresistible- Shimmered pearl

Alive- Multi-colored glitter flakes

The nail varnish colors are bright and cheery.  I really love the Alive nail varnish.  It is perfect for adding a little glitter over any color.

Dr. Song

Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C Serum -
4 oz./$19.99

Image from amazon.com

First off, this bottle is huge! 

What is hyaluronic acid?  It is a substance found naturally in the body.  It has many uses including for healing wounds, burns and as a moisturizer.  It has also been known for its benefit in preventing the signs of aging.
Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, powerful antioxidant, and can help reverse sun damage, and help improve the appearance of skin.

This product is not greasy.  It is versatile in that it can be used either day or night.  The great thing about this product is that it can be used as a moisturizer all over the face and neck.  It does not upset my sensitive skin and actually has a calming effect on the red spots on my chin. 

 
I love that the product is light and does not have a strong scent.  I have been using this product for a few weeks now and I can tell it has cleared my complexion and brightened my skin. 

Dr. Song products are made with pharmaceutical grade quality ingredients.  Also Dr. Song offers a 365 Day 100% No Hassle Money Back Guarantee!

Foxbrim

Retinol Cream Moisturizer -
1 fl. oz./$16.99

Image from amazon.com
I love the packaging!  And I also love the little pump application.  The pump makes it easy to get just enough to cover your face.  I only needed one pump to cover nicely. 

I love that it is ok to use under make up.  It is light and goes on smooth.  It absorbs easy and that makes for easy application of foundation over the top of this product.  I use a moisturizer everyday but because I have very fair skin I prefer to use a moisturizer with sunscreen in it.  

I am only 33 so I can't say I have seen any anti-aging benefits.  However, my problem areas are less red and overall my skin has a soft, healthy appearance. 

The ingredients include 1% pure retinol, aloe, and vitamin E.  These natural ingredients offer many benefits including anti-aging, healing, acne treatment, and hydration.  Also this moisturizer is paraben free, and cruelty free.  The company is great and offers a 100% money back guarantee so you can try it with no risks!

Body Merry

Cellulite Cream with Caffeine and Retinol -
4 fl. oz./$19.99


Image from amazon.com
Let me start with some information about this product.  This cream contains natural and organic ingredients including caffeine, retinol, 3 types of seaweed, and organic cayenne. 

The seaweed "helps in firming and toning" and the cayenne "provides a spicy twist and helps in circulation and reducing the storage of fat."
 
I opened this and applied a small amount on my upper thighs.  I noticed that this product was not nearly as creamy as I had expected.  It absorbs easily which makes it easy to get dressed quickly after applying it.  If your anything like me and always in a hurry, this is a big bonus! 

I have been using this product only once a day for about two weeks.  I have to say that as far as the appearance of cellulite, this product so far has not made much of a difference.  I probably need to continue using this product to see those results.  I can however feel my skin is tighter after applying and overall feels softer.  I hope to see more results with continued use of this product.

Retinol Surge Moisturizer -
3.4 fl. oz./$25.99

Image from amazon.com
I like this product because it is pretty versatile.  I had no problem applying this product in the morning and then applying make up over the top.  It is absorbed quickly into my skin so I can even wear it at night. 

The instructions do say only to use at night if you have sensitive skin.  I have a sensitivity to some products but not with this product.  It is gentle enough for me to wear anytime.  I love that it is not heavily scented. 

The ingredients include retinol, aloe, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E.  These are some amazing ingredients that offer various benefits such as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-aging, and even provides minimal UV protection. 

As with all Body Merry products, these are chemical, paraben, sulphate, phthalate and cruelty free.  And Body Merry products are backed by a 90 Day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Sammy And Jack

Hip and Joint Supplements for Dogs with Glucosamine and Chondroitin -
$24.95

Image from amazon.com
Very recently my German Shepherd was diagnosed with arthritis. I can't say I was fully prepared. Yes, she is 13 years old but we had her the doggy doctor just a few months ago for a check  up and everything was great!  It just came on just as fast and harsh as this cold weather hit. One day last week I noticed she was limping. I took her to the vet and bam just like that she has arthritis.

I'm sure you can imagine how excited I was to be given the opportunity to try this product for my dog. She is currently on prescription pain medication but this product is a great supplement to that.
 
I love that this is a liquid. I have seen other glucosamine supplements that are pills. My dog becomes pill savy after a few doses. I'm not sure how, but she will eat everything but the pill no matter what I put the pill in. This product is liquid and all you do is add the per measured amount, depending on the weight of your dog, to dog food. My dog can also be picky. The first time I gave this product to my dog, I added 3 pumps to her food and stood back to see what she would do. To my surprise she ate her food like I had never added anything.

Great, so she likes it! Now what about the benefits?  It is recommended to begin using this product prior to injury however this product helps to naturally relieve pain and inflammation.
Glucosamine is a natural substance found in your pet's body.  As your pet ages, the production of glucosamine slows.  Providing a glucosamine supplement can help to reduce pain, and increase mobility.  Similarly, chondroitin can help prevent stress injuries, and help repair damaged cartilage. 

Not only is the product great but the customer service is great!  I received a few follow up emails from this company. They are kind, compassionate and have reliable service. I will continue purchasing this product.

Lifeguard

Portable Charger -
Image from tomoson.com
$24.97

This portable charger is great!  It is easy to use, just take it out of the box and plug it into your computer to charge.  Once its charged then you can use it to charge your phone in emergencies. 

This power bank is sturdy and reliable.  I have had one other power bank that was very flimsy and cheaply made.  The lifeguard portable charger is small and it works well.  It has a red light to indicate when it is charging and it goes off when it is done charging.  If you have the device plugged into another device the light is blue and goes off when the device is fully charged.

The only thing I would change is the length of the charging cords.  It isn't a deal breaker but a longer cord would be nice.

Overall I am very happy with this portable charger.  I have used it twice now to charge my phone when I had no other options.  It is quick and efficient.

Ocean Mist Cosmetics

Buttermilk Foundation -
$14.95-$16.95

This mineral foundation is light in color and has a slight yellow undertone.  This foundation matches my skin really well.  I have never used a mineral foundation before this.  I can not say enough about how much I love this product! 

This foundation is light but it covers very well.  It goes on even and smooth and really works well to cover my skin.  The only thing I can say that I didn't like about this mineral foundation is that it doesn't last all day.  I think this is most likely normal for a mineral foundation product but it would be nice to have great all day coverage. 

I love the price however.  Overall I am very pleased with this product.  I would recommend giving this mineral foundation a shot!

Sandy Bottom Eyeshadow -
$6.95

I love this color.  It is a matte shadow that gives a great color without having to apply multiple times. It is great either alone or mixed with another color. 

I also love that all products from Ocean Mist are cruelty free, gluten free, talc free, bismuth free, and GMO free.

Hollow & Ridge

First I want to say that I was so excited to receive products from this company.  Hollow & Ridge offers essential oil products that are therapeutic grade.  The owner Issa, uses only the best quality materials available and makes all of her oils in small bathes in a copper still at her home. 

Face + Body Toner - Rose Water 
Image from hollowandridge.com
15 ml./$14.00

I absolutely love the rose colored bottle.  The spray application works great and helps to make this product feel refreshing.  I really like that this product is all natural and good for any skin type.  As soon as I spray this toner on my skin, it feels cool and calming.  It smells good and the scent is not too strong which is a big plus in my book.

This product is 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free, chemical free, paraben free, sulfate free, artificial color and fragrance free, alcohol free, propylene glycol free, cruelty free and GMO free.  How much better can it get?

Rose water has many uses which include calming irritated skin, cleansing, rejuvenating, and even has anti-inflammatory properties. 

I love this product.  I can definitely say this Hollow & Ridge toner will be a must have especially in the summer when I feel my skin needs extra nourishment. 

Balance - Blend No 505 
Image from hollowandridge.com
10 ml./$38.00

Again, I love the bottle.  This product actually comes with a little label over the top of the bottle that lists the batch number as well as the person who blended it.  That is pretty amazing and it instills confidence in me that this product is fresh and of the best quality.

The ingredients include Vetiver, rose otto, patchouli and lavender.  If your like me, you are probably asking yourself what is vetiver?  Vetiver is a tall wild grass.  The roots of this grass are used to extract the oils.  Vetiver is known for its calming, soothing and uplifting properties.  "Vetiver and patchouli work well together to ward off depression." 

With this product all you need to do is dab a small amount on wrist.  It can also be used in the bath to calm and soothe.  The smell is something that might take some getting used to.  I can smell the lavender and the patchouli the most in this blend.  Me personally, I like the scent.  It reminds me of camping, hiking, or just being out in nature. 

If you like essential oils, I encourage you to check out Hollow & Ridge.  You won't be disappointed!

Estro-G 100

Botanical Menopause Relief -
30 capsules/$26.99

Ok so who wants to go through the discomfort of menopause?  Well I don't and I'm glad that I am not there yet.  I do however know someone who experiences symptoms of menopause, my mom.  She has hot flashes and night sweats most often.  I received this product and was so pleased to be able to pass it on to my mom. 

So what is Estro-G 100?  It is "a powerful combination of 3 botanical root extracts that have been used for hundreds of years as edible herbs in Korea and China."  It is designed to relieve the most common symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats, and sleep disturbances.  This product is all natural.

But does it work?  Well from the results my mom has gotten I would say it helps to relieve some symptoms better than others.  My mom has seen a decrease in the amount of hot flashes she has been having.  She, however has not seen any results in relieving any other symptoms.  The good thing is that the cost is reasonable and because the product is all natural there are not any side effects. 

If you are going through menopause, I would recommend trying this product.  Not everyone is going to have the same results but for the price I think if you get any relief at all it is worth it.

Orogold

24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum -
30 ml./$198.00


The box it comes in is pretty amazing.  It has a magnetic flap that flips open to reveal the bottle nestled inside a silky gold material.  The bottle itself is gold in color and most definitely looks like it would cost as much as it does.  Also inside is a 24 Karat Gold Authentication certificate. 


This vitamin c booster serum is unlike many others in that it actually contains 24K gold flakes from Italy.  It also contains Vitamin C, and E.  So I'm sure by now we all have heard about the benefits of vitamin C and E in cosmetics but what about gold?  Gold can "can help to rejuvenate your skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. It also manages to lock the moisture in your skin and help to keep your skin firm."

I love that a little goes a long ways.  One pump will cover my entire face and neck.  This product smells great, not too strong.  I have been using this product at night before bed.  It feels absolutely amazing on.  It is rich and luxurious.  It can be a little greasy if you use too much.  I was able to find a happy medium with the amount I use and that has cut down on the greasy feeling.  It does absorb easily which is nice even if you use a little too much. 

My skin is already reaping the benefits of this wonderful facial serum.  After using this product for just a short time I can see my skin is brighter.  The hydration is above any other product I have tried.  My face feels hydrated even after showering the next morning.  My face is less irritated and looks great. 

I can only imagine how great the results will be with continued use of this product!  This product is expensive but it is so worth it! This booster serum is one of Orogolds best selling products and I can see why!  I recommend trying this product, you will not regret it!

Briogeo

Blossom & Bloom - Volumizing Conditioner
8.5 oz./$23.00

I have fairly fine hair so I was excited to see that this conditioner is especially formulated for fine and limp hair.  My hair is longer than it has been in awhile and being that it is naturally curly, it sometimes looks lifeless.  This conditioner has really hydrated my hair and created soft and bouncy curls.

This conditioner has collagen, B5, biotin, ginseng, argan and sweet almond oil.  It also does not have any silicones, no parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no synthetic fragrance and no artificial colors. 

Curl Charisma - Leave-in defining crème
6 oz./$18.01

I also have naturally curly hair which has been less defined since it has grown out.  I love that it is a finishing crème.  I have always had the best results with a crème styling product.  I used this product and noticed a more defined and weightless look to my hair.  My hair also didn't feel sticky like it does with a gel product.  It smells great which is another big plus for me.

This product contains avocado oil, quinoa, rice amino acids.  Again, this product does not have any silicones, no parabens, no phthalates, no mineral oil, no synthetic fragrance and no artificial colors. 

By Gentle, Be Kind - Cleansing Shampoo
8.5 oz./$19.00

If you have curly hair, you know it is beneficial not to wash your hair everyday.  I often feel like some shampoos are too strong for my hair.  This cleansing shampoo is gentle and good for any type of hair.  I feel I could use this shampoo everyday and it wouldn't strip my hair of moisture. 

It has green tea anti-oxidants, bamboo and palm extracts, aloe, B5 and Vitamin E.  Like the other products it does not contain silicones, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance or artificial colors. 

Be Gentle, Be Kind - Co-Wash
8.5 oz./$20.00

I have never used a crème cleanser for my hair before.  This product cleanses, conditions, detangles, and nourishes.  Again, I love that it is gentle on my hair.  It smells great and leaves my hair clean and manageable. 

This product has shea, avocado oil, quinoa extracts and aloe.  It is all natural and does not contain silicones, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance or artificial colors. 

Thank you Briogeo!  I love your products and can't wait to try more!

Ultra Lift Treatment -
1.7 fl. oz./$22.99

I love the packaging!  And I also love the little pump application.  However, sadly after using the pump once it didn't want to work any longer.  The bottle feels pretty light so I honestly don't know if the pump isn't working because its gone or because its broken. 

With that being said, I got about 4 applications from this bottle before it stopped working completely.  I love that it is fragrance free.  I don't like to put much scented product on my face.  The product is thick and creamy and feels really good on. 

This treatment contains CoQ10, Panthenol, Peptides, and Hyaluronic Acid.  The benefits of these amazing ingredients include healing and repair of the skin, improving the appearance of your skin, stimulating collagen production, fighting free radicals, and hydrating the skin. 

I can apply make up over this product so that is a huge plus.  I used this product as a moisturizer for the few applications that I got out of it.  I noticed that it did make my face feel tighter and smoother. I only wished I had gotten more out of the bottle than I did.  I think this product is worth a second look because of the amazing ingredients and the potential benefits that they provide.  Also the company offers a 100% money back guarantee.

5HTP Anti Depressant and Mood Enhancer -
60 capsules/$11.99

Ok so am I depressed?  No! But being a woman comes with natural mood swings and having 4 kids definitely comes with mood swings.  I decided to order this product to give it a try and see if it would help with the ups and downs. 

This product contains 5HTP which increases the production of serotonin.  Serotonin can affect your sleep, pain sensitivity, anxiety and appetite.  This product is said to improve mood, reduce depression, and help you sleep better.

I have been taking this for about two weeks now, as directed on the bottle.  I have noticed a slight improvement in my mood but no difference yet in my sleep.  I don't have trouble sleeping so this may or may not be as noticeable for me as others.  I have not had any side effects with this.

I am excited to continue this product and to see the continued results with prolonged use of this product. 

I love that this product is natural and the company stands by their product by offering a 100% money back guarantee.  This product is definitely worth a try if you are looking to improve your mood without spending too much!

InstaNatural

Vitamin C serum -
1 fl oz./17.95

So yes another Vitamin C serum review.  Vitamin C serums are new and hot right now.  I have tried more than one but I have to say that Instanatural Vitamin C serum stands out from the rest.  Why do I say this, you ask?  Well the single most important reason for me wanting to use a Vitamin C serum is because I have a few dark sun spots on my face.  This formula unlike others contains 20% vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, ferulic acid and Vitamin E.  If you don't already know, both Vitamin C and Vitamin E are potent ingredients that help to brighten skin tone and fade dark spots. 


I love the way this product makes my skin feel.  It goes on smooth, and you only need a little to cover your face and neck.  After the serum dries on my face, my face feels soft and fresh.  This serum can be used either alone or with a moisturizer and can also be worn under make up. 

I have noticed a change of the color of my sun spots and can't wait to see the long term results!  This product has so many other benefits including reversing wrinkles and fine lines and restoring dry rough skin.  This product is definitely worth the money to try it!  Also, if you try it and don't like it, InstaNatural offers a Lifetime Money Back Guarantee!

Eye Cream -
1.7 fl. oz./$21.90

It goes on nicely and covers great!  This product is gentle and does not irritate my skin.  As I have mentioned before, the area around my eyes looks tired.  This product has already helped to ease the dark tired look around my eyes. 

This product contains plant stem cells, hyaluronic acid, Matrixyl 3000, Peptide Complex, Cucumber, Aloe, and MSM.  Here is a brief description of the above ingredients and what they are used for. 

Plant Stem Cells - Known for the anti-aging effects.
Hyaluronic Acid - Restore your bodies own hyaluronic acid that is gradually lost with aging.
Matrixyl 3000 - Used for anti-aging, collagen stimulation, and for the treatment of wounds and scars. 
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins in the skin.  "Many peptides function as moisture-binding agents and almost all of them have theoretical cell-communicating ability to help skin repair itself." 
Cucumber has many skin benefits including fading dark circles, reducing puffy eyes, and improving complexion.
Aloe is an anti inflammatory used to soothe and treat skin problems, and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles.
MSM is an anti inflammatory, helps to build collagen and is used to detoxify.

So far I love this product! My eyes look much brighter and actually feel less stressed.  The downfall to this product is that it does not go well with make up.  It is rather sticky and does take a bit to absorb.  For that reason, I will use this product before bed.

Night Cream -
3.4 fl. oz./$21.75

This night cream is the perfect moisturizing cream to use right before bed.  It has a thick consistency and has a soothing effect which is great for night time.  It moisturizers well and I wake up with my skin feeling refreshed. 

This product contains pure Rosehip oil, 5% Niacinamide, Vitamin C, and Matrixyl 3000.  I have covered most of these ingredients in the products listed above but what about rosehip oil and 5% Niacinamide?  Rosehip oil is soothing and helps to relieve redness.  5% Niacinamide, or B3, reduces inflammation and helps with acne. 

This product has made a noticeable difference in the redness and acne prone area on my skin and nose.  I love that it is gentle and does not irritate my skin further.  I would say the only down side to this product is the scent.  I am sensitive to scents and this is a little too heavy fragranced for me.  For someone who doesn't have a sensitivity to scents however it may be as strong. 

Overall, I love this product as well as the other products from InstaNatural.  If you would like to try the night cream go to

Limerance Face Cream Giveaway!

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!

NaturaliDerm

Best Organic Facial Moisturizer -
1.7 oz./$27.89

Image from amazon.com
Okay first let me say, the box is umm well less than exciting to me.  For some reason, it just doesn't intrigue me.  After opening the box however, I was pleasantly surprised with a bottle that is stylish and looks expensive.  I love the pump applicator, it makes it easy to get as much or as little as you want.

I'm not a huge fan of the smell.  I can't really even pinpoint what the scent is, but I just don't care for it much.  The good thing is that the scent isn't overpowering and after a few minutes it isn't noticeable. 

Now let's get down to the nitty-gritty!  Moisturizer is a must for me!  I was happy to see that the consistency is thick and creamy like most great moisturizers.  Even though it is a thick consistency, it goes on light and airy.  It absorbs quickly enough and I was able to apply make up soon after applying this moisturizer.  It has made my face feel silky and hydrated even after applying make up. 

The key ingredients include Aloe, Witch Hazel,  Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, and D-Panthenol.  This product is all natural and contains no parabens, artificial fragrance or colors.  These are some amazing ingredients that offer various benefits such as anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-aging, and even provides minimal UV protection.  This facial moisturizer is also great for any skin type. 

I love this product and it will easily become a regular part of my everyday routine! If you would like to check out this product go to http://www.amazon.com/Organic-Facial-Moisturizer-Natural-Anti-Aging/dp/B00LTU134W/ref=sr_1_1?s=beauty&ie=UTF8&qid=1415208964&sr=1-1

Acure

Lip Lush -
.5 oz/$7.99

I received 2 lip lushes in Shmexy and Date Worthy.  Each of these has a slight hint of color. 
Shmexy is a rich purple color in the tube.  When applied it gives a light sheer color that is perfect for day or night.  Date Worthy is gorgeous red that can be dressed up or down. 

The ingredients include Argan oil, Echinacea, and Edelweiss stem cells.  You can't go wrong with these ingredients and let me tell you why!
Argan oil is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants and is used for a wide variety of cosmetic benefits. 
Echinacea is a herbal remedy that I have used before for upper respiratory infections.  I have never used a beauty product that contained Echinacea.  So why Echinacea in a lip product?  Echinacea has a soothing and calming effect on dry chapped lips and also provides protection against further irritation. 
Edelweiss stem cells contain powerful anti-oxidant properties.  They also protect against harmful UV rays, and can help control the loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin.

Acure products are also Paraben free, Gluten free, Synthetic fragrance free, Silicone free, Phthalate free. 

These lippies feel great going on.  They are smooth and the feeling lasts a long time.  I love that these colors both look great alone or over another color.  These lip lushes also come in 3 other shades.   

Dark Chocolate and Mint Lip Balm -

$3.99

Did you say chocolate and mint?  Yes, this combination is as amazing as it sounds!  It smells great and is soft and smooth on.  It helps protect and makes my dry lips feel better.  It isn't thick and waxy like some.  The mint gives a slight tingling feeling but it isn't overpowering.  It actually helps to heal my lips and is a great moisturizer.  This is a must have for me! 

Not only do I love the product but I love the cause.  100% of this lip balm profits are donated to Breast Cancer Research!  That makes it all the more worth giving this product a try!

Mandarin Orange + Moroccan Argan Stem Cell Advanced Triple Moisture Body Lotion
8 oz./$9.99

As I have said before in other posts, I am a sucker for anything orange.  And let me tell you, this product does not disappoint!  The mandarin orange scent is just right, not too strong but cheery and exhilarating. 

I have tried many different lotions from cheap to expensive and it is hard to find one that absorbs quickly and is not greasy.  Acure has achieved both!  This body lotion is specially
formulated to be non-greasy. 

Acure uses a triple moisture system of organic argan oil, organic cocoa butter, and organic olive oil.  This is also a winning combination that provides intense hydration that you can actually feel.

This body lotion also has probiotics, olive leaf, and CoQ10.  As with all Acure products, this lotion is also Vegan, Paraben free, sulfate free, cruelty free, gluten free and contains no synthetic fragrance. 

Day Cream with Gotu kola stem cell + 1% chlorella growth factor -
1.75 oz./$18.99

I was excited to try this product but first I had to figure out what is in it. 

Gotu kola stem cells are plant stem cells help fight free radical damage, and helps to control the loss of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin.  Chlorella growth factor helps to rebuild and protect collagen in the skin.

This is a daily moisturizer for normal to dry skin. This day cream absorbs easily and can be used before apply make up.  A daily face moisturizer is a must for me.  This product is gentle and does not make my face itch like some other products I have tried.  It hydrates well and seems to really last all day. 

This product is vegan, gluten free, sulfate free, paraben free, phthalate free, cruelty free, petroleum free, PEG free, synthetic fragrance free, and silicone free.

So far I love this product and I am excited to see the results after continued and prolonged use of this day cream!

Thank you again Acure for some truly wonderful products that are unlike any other!
