I like to try different vitamin c serums because they can come in a variety of formulations and all of them are very different from each other. I found this one and decided to give it a try. It contains 20%vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, vitamin e, ferulic acid, organic herbs, aloe, and jojoba oil. It smells like vitamin c capsules and flowers. It is slightly yellow, thick, frosty and transparent. I used about a third of a dropper full all over my face, neck, and chest twice a day and let fully dry before going any further. This product made my skin feel like it was frozen, not cold, but like it resisted movement and less likely to form wrinkles. It was not sticky or left any residue. I liked this product but I wished the scent was less prominent or smelled more floral. I used this everyday and it kept my makeup in place all day long.

I am in love with argan oil. I started using it a few years ago and it is all I have been using. I found HSI Professional Leave-In Treatment with Argan Oil and had to try it. It comes in a 2oz. brown glass bottle. It can be used on all hair types, wet or dry and with blow drying and flat-ironing. It is also specifically designed to be used with HIS professional styling tools, but you can use it the same without. It has a very luxurious and soft floral, clean scent. In my hand, it is a thick, transparent golden-pink oil. I used about a quarter sized amount on my really long, wet hair before blow drying. It soaked in really quick and my hair felt so nourished. It left my blow dried hair so soft and not oily at all. I then used my flat iron to straighten my hair. It took about 10 minutes off my flat iron time! My hair was left with a radiant shine, easy to manage locks and a style that lasted all day. There was also no residue left on my iron, even after a couple days of touch ups. I liked this product because my hair stayed perfectly straight all day with no fly aways or frizziness no matter how much I touched it. There was nothing I disliked about this oil.

I have tried vitamin c serums in the past. Some were excellent, some weren’t all that great. I found this one to give a try. It comes in a 1oz. brown glass bottle with a dropper. It has the highest concentration of active vitamin c which is a suspension of vitamin c in pure vegan hyaluronic acid. The scent of it is almost nauseating with a harsh chemical like smell with vitamin c. It is slightly yellow, thick and frosty but transparent. I used about a quarter of a dropper full and it covered my entire face, neck and chest. The product did not soak into my skin very well. It took a long time to dry, as well. It took a little rubbing to get it into my skin. My skin was not greasy or had any residue when I rubbed it after it dried. It made my skin feel softer, hydrated and protected and not weighed down. I turned out to like this serum because it made my skin feel smoother. So I decided to try it all over my body and the rough patches on my elbows and knees are so soft!

Posted on: February 1, 2016
I have been on a natural product kick lately to find products to help me lose weight and to just be more healthy overall. I found this product on Amazon.com after reading reviews and decided to try it. I take 1 capsule before my pre-workout meal. I found no side effects except that it gave me a gentle boost in energy. In one month, I lost 9 pounds using this product 1 time a day. I still use it until I reach my ideal weight. It contains no GMO, gluten, wheat, soy or sugar. Suggested serving is 2 capsules per day before meals. It contains 1600mg Garcinia Cambogia Extract, 120mg Calcium, and 180mg Potassium.

I am always looking for new ways to get my vitamins in. I found these on Amazon.com and decided to test and review them for you. For years before trying these, I had a vitamin d deficiency but never took any supplements for it. I like this product because it is peach flavored and it melts in your mouth. I took 1 tablet daily in the morning for a month. My vitamin d levels did raise to normal levels and I am still taking this supplement. There are 60 tablets per bottle, a 2 month supply. This product is free from yeast, gluten, soy, milk, dairy, sodium, preservatives, artificial flavoring, artificial coloring and sugar.

I have been diabetic for over 15 years and I have been searching for a supplement that is natural yet effective. I have joint pain, heart palpitations, a weak immune system, and all over inflammation. I spoke with my doctor before using this and he said it was ok for me to try but do not take this supplement without consulting your own doctor. I take 1 capsule 3 times a day and I have been taking this for a month so far. I have noticed slight changes in how easily my body moves, especially my joints. My liver tests have had great results. I’ve noticed that my mood has gotten a lot better. I usually am not so excited and giddy over nothing, but I feel a lot like the old me! Its so much more easier for me to exercise. I really like this supplement because of the many benefits I have experienced and because it is all natural and has no additives. This product does not contain any shellfish, egg, wheat, soy, gluten, corn or peanuts. Here is a link to their Amazon.com, http://www.amazon.com/premium-turmeric-supplement-curcumin-complex%c2%ae/dp/b00hmtk8ou/ie=utf8?m=a1ygrcyzufctu6&keywords=turmeric+supplement
I have never tried a probiotic supplement before I found this one on Amazon.com. Ive had terrible stomach issues most of my life from being a diabetic so I was searching for something that would help with those issues. I took 2 capsules daily with a meal, I took mine with breakfast, for a month. I was very surprised at how regular it made me. I was so used to loose bowel movement. I had bad cramps all the time. The only thing I did not like was that I had some weird smelling gas sometimes but that did not stop me from taking it. It was an all around good product. The bottle contained 60 capsules, a one month supply. 2 capsules consisted of 10.12 billion organisms. This product was manufactured in a facility that may also process milk, soy, wheat, egg, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and crustacean shellfish.

I love natural products, especially natural beauty products. I wanted to find a good facial mask and found this one after reading about 50 excellent reviews on Amazon.com. I tried this mask the first time and fell in love with it. The first thing I noticed was the intense menthol and essential oil scent, even though it contains no menthol. I felt the extreme cooling effect as soon as I applied it. I left it on for about 10 minutes and was so relaxed by it that time flew by so fast. It was very easy to apply and to remove. I could immediately feel improved circulation in my face. My face was also not oily and the mask left no residue at all. This mask contains Dead Sea Mud, Organic Shea Butter, Organic Sunflower Oil, Organic Aloe Vera Juice, Organic Vegetable Glycerin, Organic Jojoba Oil, Hickory Bark Extract, Organic Calendula Oil, Filtered Water, Xanthan Gum and Eucalyptus Oil. Here is the link to the product on Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3daps&field-keywords=facial%20mask&sprefix=facia%2caps&rh=i%3aaps%2ck%3afacial%20mask
I got these samples from Influenster a few weeks ago in my #ItsYourThing VoxBox. My opinions are located below.
Slim Fast Advanced Nutrition Meal Replacement Shake in Vanilla Crème
The flavor shake I tested was Vanilla Crème. I chilled it before drinking. I drank it in the morning for breakfast after my cup of coffee. I loved the smooth vanilla taste. I tried Slim Fast several years ago and they have came a long way in flavor and texture since then. It left no protein grit or bad smelling burps. I was surprised that I really did not have any cravings or hunger pangs for very close to 4 hours after drinking. I will be drinking more Slim Fast to achieve my weight loss goals!
Slim Fast Advanced Nutrition Meal Bar- Dark Chocolate Sea Salt
I liked this meal replacement bar because the flavors were more like a candy bar/granola bar hybrid. It had lots of dark chocolate drizzled on top with a hint of sea salt sprinkled. It did not leave protein grit in my mouth. I am glad because with other protein bars in the past, I was left chewing on protein grit for hours after eating. It kept me full for about 3 hours without cravings or feeling hungry or like I was missing something. I liked this protein bar because it was easy to eat, kept me satisfied and tasted like no other meal replacement bar out there.
Slim Fast Advanced Nutrition Baked Crisps in Sour Cream and Onion
I was expecting these to look like they did on the package but they did not. They were more like mini disc shaped rice cake crisps with the flavoring sprinkled on top. I was also hoping they would taste somewhat like potato chips. The flavoring was great but I did not like the taste of both together at all. I got through less than half the bag before I quit because of the texture and potato-less flavor I was expecting. What I did like about these was that the bag contained about 40 crisps inside, which is a lot and that they only have 100 calories per bag. I did not like these overall but I will try the other flavors they offer based on how these did satisfy my hunger for a little while.
Slim Fast Advanced Nutrition Drizzled Crisps in Cinnamon Bun Swirl
I was so excited to try these because they looked exactly like they did on the package. They were small, brown disc-shaped rice crisps with vanilla swirl drizzled on top. These were very good and satisfied my sweet-tooth. These surprised me more than anything I have ever tried by Slim Fast. I loved how they tasted and satisfied me and they also contained about 40 crisps in the bag. I will be buying more of these for 100 calories a bag!
The Vanilla Crème Shake and the Cinnamon Bun Swirl Drizzled Crisps were my absolute favorites that I tested this week. I wish you could pair them together and eat them like milk and cookies or a decadent cereal. They both were so good!! I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. This did not influence my opinions in any way.
