Review: ToiletTree Professional Skin Care System

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

 I have heard lots of wonderful things about products similar to this, and after using this Professional Skin Care system I understand what all the fuss is about.

I absolutely fell in love with this product from the first use. I loved all of the different options. With 4 different heads, you can use this all over your body: rough elbows, callused feet,, and even on your face. I love how unbelievably clean and smooth the skin on my face is after using this. It gently removes dirt and oil without being too abrasive. 

Th larger head can be used on your body, and I really love this for getting rid of dead skin on my legs and arms. 

This Product:
- Stimulates Skin Renewal
- Improves overall skin clarity and appearance
- Removes Dead Skin cells to expose healthier looking skin
- Energizes Skin and leaves it smooth soft and radiant
- Cleans Deep to remove stubborn Makeup
- Enhances absorption of moisturizers

I love using this before bedtime. It removes the daily buildup of stuff on my face, and gets my face ready for my nighttime face cream. 

This is a great gift for both men and women. Anyone that wants a smooth and clean face will absolutely love this product!

Review: Exfolimate

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I am always looking for new and innovative ways to get that soft smooth skin that everyone desires. I was given the opportunity to try a product that I have heard quite a bit about, and I was very excited!

I was very perplexed when I received Exfolimate, I had never seen anything quite like it. Exfolimate came with two different sized items, a larger one for exfoliating larger areas on your body, and a smaller one to exfoliate your face.

The directions state to use these tools after you have taken a shower when your skin is "wet and supple". When your skin is dry, this product does not have any effect.

I tried this a few days ago, and was very pleased with how it worked on my feet and ankle region... It removed quite a bit of dead skin, but used on other places of my body, the effect wasn't as great. I think that if the metal piece on exfolimate was a little sharper, this product would have worked much better on other areas of my body.


I can say I was satisfied with how this worked on my feet, and because of that I will continue to use it. It was also very easy to clean, no scrubbing necessary. You just run the stainless steel edge under running water and wipe it off and it's clean!

Review: Carmex Moisture Plus

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

CARMEX MOISTURE PLUS LIP BALM



Each and every one of us knows the woes of getting horribly chapped lips. thought I tend not to get them very often because I am always wearing lip balm of some sort, I have always sworn by Carmex.

I was given the opportunity to review Carmex Moisture Plus, and immediately thought how perfect these would be to include in stockings for the Holidays.

I have tried these before, and I did love them, but I really fell in love with these ones because of the adorable designs! The Black and White one was my favorite. This stylish packaging lets everyone express themselves!

Review & Coupon Code: Memebox

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.





I was so excited when my Memebox came in the mail! Memebox contains full size Asian beauty products, and I have to say, I was MORE than impressed!

1) Pure Skin Hand Care Pack (Pink Package)
These are a glove type item. They are plastic on the outside and have a fabric and gel on the inside. You put them on and then go upon your business from anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. then you take them off and rinse your hands. I attempted to use these while typing, and though it worked, they were a little bulky, so I would reccomend doing something else in that time. these leave your hands extremely soft and moisturized!

Review: Adovia Natural Sulfur Soap


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

I thought for sure that this soap was going to make my eyes water from being so smelly, after all, it is called sulfur soap. Even still, I was willing to take that chance after years of hearing how wonderful sulfur is for your skin. Dermatologists sometimes will recommend sulfur applied to your skin, to treat:
- Acne
- Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Rosacea
- Eczema
- Dandruff

I suffer from mild breakouts, a few here and there, but nothing too serious, just enough to mess up my day. I used this soap, and was happy to say it didn't smell like sulfur, which I was extremely grateful for. The smell kind of reminds me of a very mild antibacterial soap, so it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. 

I think my favorite thing about this soap is that it was not drying. Though I love to feel that very clean feeling, I know when my skin gets super tight and dry after using harsh soaps, I will pay for it later with a massive over production of oil. With this soap, my skin did not do that. 

I can say that I do think this soap is helping my skin. I am noticing a few less breakouts, and some of my oiliness is going away. I am actually very happy with this product and will continue to use it until the bar is gone.

Review: Foxbrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

Though I am only twenty two, I have already noticed the signs of aging. You are probably thinking, yeah right! I have started to notice lines forming around my eyes, and thinning of the skin around them also. I also am starting to notice lines on my forehead. I am going to be cursed with wrinkles, like many of my family members. I am willing to give any product a try, especially an eye cream. 


I have tried Foxbrim products before, and I was satisfied, so I jumped on the chance to review on eye cream from them. Foxbrim's youthful radiance eye cream can also be used as an all over face moisturizer, so really you are getting two products for the price of one. It contains Vitamins C and E, as well as Aloe and Green Tea. It is also organic and Cruelty Free! 

One thing that I absolutely love about this product is that when you apply it, it is not sticky at all. That probably is one of my biggest pet peeves. I hate putting things on my face that leaves my skin feeling like I just put syrup on it. This applies easily, and goes on smoothly without leaving a sticky residue. When I first applied this, and seen it was a lotion type cream, I thought "Oh no, this is going to leave my face greasy." Surprisingly, it didn't. I put it on and patted it in around my eye region, and within minutes it was soaked in, leaving nothing but smooth, moisturized skin. 
I also love that this product can be worn under make-up, which is very important to me. Though I would let it sit on your skin for a few minutes to make sure it is completely absorbed before applying your foundation. 

There really wasn't anything I didn't like about this eye cream! It hit all of my major needs/wants in a product: Non sticky or greasy, Cruelty Free, and Organic! Plus with all the added vitamins, I feel like I am really helping out my skin, instead of just slathering it with chemicals!

Review: Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

 Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation

Everyone knows that makeup is a huge passion of mine, so I get super excited. I was thrilled to be able to review Ageless Derma Mineral Foundation. I chose the shade "Barely There" because I am very fair skinned.

I had never tried mineral pressed powder before, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I love the packaging on Ageless Derma products, and I love that the compact includes a mirror for those little touch ups. You also receive quite a generous amount, as the pan is quite large.

My first impressions of this product was that it was very silky. I loved the way it applied to my skin, though usually I prefer a more full coverage. This would be great over liquid foundation to set it for all day coverage.

One thing I didn't like, was the applicator that came with it. I usually have this problem with most applicators. I end up throwing them away. I think using the same pouf over and over again can become unsanitary, so I would rather use brushes. I also think you would get a much better application and finish using a face brush.

I love that Ageless Derma products are NOT tested on animals. This is very important to me, and when I can help it, I try not to buy products that are tested on Animals. This product also contains various vitamins and minerals to help out your skin!

I think this is a great product! This would be great for people who want a medium coverage foundation, or who want to set a liquid foundation.

Review: Hyaluronic Acid Serum


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.


I loved this product in particular... I have been using it daily, and I can definitely tell a difference in my skin. I asked my husband, but he couldn't tell, which is to be expected because he never notices anything. I feel that my skin is smoother and has brightened.

The only thing I did not like about the BellaFab skincare products, had nothing to do with the actual product. The labels drive me nuts. They seem sticky to me. Especially if your hands have any sort of moisture on them.

Nevertheless, I still love both of these products that I tried from BellaFab Skincare:

Body Merry Cellulite Cream

I thought that this made my skin tight and very smooth. The texture is a little weird, it's more of a gel, but that is to be expected as one of the first ingredients is Aloe. Another great product from Body Merry!

Mistiq by Protege Beauty Review


I have to say, I was very impressed with the overall effects of this product. It worked almost instantly! You can immediately feel the tightening of your face when you apply this. This is a wonderful product. I can already tell my mother and i are going to be fighting over this one.

Review: Insta Natural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.



I was really worried when I used this product that it would make my face break out horribly. Oh my goodness, I have never been more wrong.

I am usually very wary when something says "oil" on it, for the plain and simple fact that I already have super oily skin. I tried this when I was able to be at home for a few days in case it made my skin break out horribly.

From the first time I used this, I was completely and utterly in LOVE. I am not exaggerating. It is very seldom that I find a skin care product that I actually would continue to use daily. Most of the time it's a few days and then I am on to a new product. I cannot even begin to describe how well this felt on my face. It did not burn, or irritate my skin. It also didn't leave my skin with that super tight feeling like most cleansers do. This made my face wonderfully clean and soft. You would not even believe it. I used my "face washer" (the blue thing in the photo) to try this out. This is also a great product. Everyone should own one of those. It was easy to apply, two pumps was enough product to do my entire face. It cleaned up easily, and left my face so soft and smooth. Also, it did not make me break out, which alone made this completely awesome for me.

I loved this product. I will honestly probably buy more when I am out.

Review: Ageless Derma Natural Camoufleur Concealer



Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.


Before
After
I am a truly picky person when it comes to cosmetics, especially "face products" such as foundation and concealer. It is my personal opinion that those two things are one of the most very important part of your routine. Without a good base, how can you build a great look? You can't. 





When I first opened this concealer I was very surprised by how small the container was. Though the first time I applied it I realized why; A little certainly goes a long way with this particular concealer. I am 100% satisfied with this concealer. I would even go as far as to say that it is one of the best I have ever tried. The coverage is wonderful. It feels great on my skin. It does not look "cakey" at all, as it almost has a mousse like texture. 

I was also very intrigued by the ingredients in this concealer. They all seemed so much better compared to my other concealers that I have in my makeup collection. I was also kind of excited to see horseradish as one of the ingredients. Horseradish has natural antiseptic properties, and can cause a slight inflammation which leads to more supple skin. This did not irritate my skin at all, and it did not smell bad. 

This is a great product!

Review & Giveaway: Honeycat Cosmetics



All you mama's out there know, sometimes, we need some alone time in the bathroom. I always have a bathroom buddy. He wants to get into everything while I go to the bathroom, wants to be in the bath tub while I shower.. Wants to pull everything off shelves and out of the cupboard. So, when it is bed time, this mama wants to take some me time. 


I have found that with Honeycat Cosmetics, I can do that. I get the time to relax in the tub, without all the boats and books from my son. When I get out, I always feel refreshed. 


The way the Honeycat Cosmetics have their products packaged I think is just part of the fun. I know many cat lovers, and this would make puurfect gifts for them. I received three items to try, and I would love to tell you about them. 



The first item I would like to tell you about is, Cat-Bernet Sauvignon Red Wine Shower Gel. I love that the bottle alone looks like a smaller bottle of nice wine, if you are clumsy, don't worry it is plastic. The smell is like a very sweet grape wine smell, but while using it you don't need much. A little goes a very long way. This product lathers so well, which is something I really like in a good soap. This bottle is 14.5 ounces. I loved that the smell was not to overpowering after washing with it, but it was still there. 



Rub My Tummy Body Cream is the greatest. It doesn't leave your body feeling greasy at all, which is one of my biggest pet peeves. This has a light smell of almond, which is very pleasant. I love that it is actually very thick and creamy. So, again a little goes a long way. And the scent, and feeling of having body butter on you last for much longer then the products you can get at your local stores. 



Ok, now to my favorite packaging ever! Chick of the Sea Foaming bath salts. This comes in what looks like a wet cat food can. And smells so good. I didn't use much in my bath. And typically when I use bath salts, I just end up being frustrated that when I go to sit in the tub I can feel the salts all over on my bottom. These dissolved great. And smelled wonderful, chocolate amaretto, and mint lightly came over my bath tub, which just made me feel like I was delicious.

Review & Giveaway: Zipz Shoes

Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

What is the number one reason you go out and buy a new pair of shoes? It's probably not that they are worn out, it's probably because you are sick of wearing the exact same pair of shoes. I know that is how it is for me at least. I came across Zipz Shoes a couple months ago, and my entire outlook on shoes had changed. 


I love shoes. Wearing the right pair can make you feel so good about yourself. So when I found Zipz, I knew I was in the right place. What exactly are Zipz Shoes, you might ask? They are shoes, obviously, but what makes them so special is that you can literally ZIP off the top of the shoe, and replace it with a completely new design or style. Awesome, right? I know, I thought so too. 

If you are anything like I am, I was worried that it would be extremely hard to unzip and re-zip on the tops of the shoes. I was pleasantly surprised that it was, in fact, fairly easy. The zippers are really sturdy. 

I loved the way these shoes looked! They are so stylish, and Zipz offers so many different Designs and Styles! 

Zipz come in sizes Adult 4-13. I received the Slip-On Style, in Dragon Rose.

Review: Cleopatra's Choice 100% Pure African Shea Butter


Disclaimer: I received these items in exchange for an honest review. I was not required to post a positive review. These are my honest opinions. Your experience may differ.

Until recently, I had never tried Shea Butter. I had always heard how great it was at moisturizing, but it seems like I could never find it. Then I was sent Cleopatra's Choice 100% Pure African Shea Butter.


I will never go back to regular lotion to treat my dry and cracked heels and elbows. When I apply this Shea Butter, it's like immediate relief.

One thing I have to say is that when you apply this is absorbs extremely well, and it isn't greasy.

Shea Butter helps with a variety of things as well as moisturizing your skin, including:



  • Minor Burns
  • Eczema
  • Dark Spots
  • Skin Discolorations
  • Stretch Marks
  • Blemishes
  • Preventing Wrinkles
  • Dry lips
As you can see, Shea Butter has tons of uses! I also plan on making body butter and Lotion Bars. I love that this product is so versatile! It should be in every home because it has so many different uses. I even used this on sunburn one day, and the next day, my skin had no trace of a burn. This is a great product that I will keep around for a long time!

You can buy this item HERE! For only $14.99, it's definitely worth the price!

How to: Acrylic Nails


I have dabbled a lot in nail art in the past few years. Just recently I have started doing acrylic nails regularly. My friends know me as the person to come to when they need their nails done, which is perfectly okay for me! Acrylics are one of my favorite things to do. I love they way they look and feel. 




I thought I would share with you guys a few different sets that I have done recently. Everyone likes the French Manicure style, and they are honestly the easiest to accomplish if you are just starting out. If you would like to try nails I would recommend getting these products. 


These are the bare minimum tools and items you would need to start doing acrylics:


  • Acrylic Powder
  • Acrylic Liquid
  • Acrylic Brush
  • Files (Or a Nail Drill)
  • Nail Glue
  • Nail Tips
  • Nail Clippers
  • Cuticle Oil
You can also buy the things above in a kit. The kits are great if you are just starting out and don't really know what to buy. 


Nail Drill and Tips


Practice Fingers






















Here are the steps to how I do my nails:

Prepped Nail
Drillbit 



1. Prep the Nail. Wash your hands and push back your cuticle. Trim up the nails to the same length. Then you either want to use a drill to rough up the nails or use a regular file. Make sure there is no shine left on the nail. 

2. The next step is to glue on the nail tip, and cut it to length. 

3. Now you can start the acrylic process. Apply The acrylic over the entire nail, taking care to not let the acrylic touch the skin or cuticle. This step does not have to be completely perfect. It will be lumpy your first few tries, but it is okay, you can file out your mistakes. 


4. Wait. Make sure the acrylic is completely dry before going on to the next step. 

5. File down the nail completely smooth. You will need to use a few different bits for this and a few different grits of files to get it how you want it. Filing is the hardest, and most important part. 
Cut The Nail to Length



Acrylic is Applied
Nail is cut to Length I want
6. Finish the nail. Buff the nail with cuticle oil until smooth, and then apply your top coat. I chose a frosty top coat for this particular nail. I love the look it gives. 


Getting Ready to Start Acrylic
Finished Nail







Filed Nail

You are done! Don't forget to apply cuticle oil to your cuticles when you are finished. You can get a lot more creative than I did, adding colors to your tips, adding things under the acrylic, adding glitter, etc.
