OZ Naturals' Super Youth Eye Gel Review


Find out more HERE
As I have mentioned before, I have been using a full beauty  regimen for years and years,  er, and years...

Mr Man's results
I have been using this OZ Naturals Super Youth Eye Gel for more than a week.  But I have been getting Mr Man to use this eye gel for the last two weeks.  He now takes great care of his skin with me in the picture.  I wanted to try this eye gel on him twice a day to see what a visible difference it can make.  He works hard every day and a couple hours each day outdoors.  I was hoping this product would work for him.

This eye gel goes on easily and absorbs quickly into the delicate eye skin.  I like that I can wear it under makeup.  Mr Man has been happy with this eye gel as well.  He likes the light scent.  Trust me he will tell me if he doesn't like the scent of a product on himself or me.  I think that the puffiness and dark circles that sometimes creeps into my eyes is helped by this 100% natural OZ naturals eye gel.

OZ Naturals Amino Herbal Hydration Mask Review


I had the opportunity to try this Amino Herbal mask by OZ naturals.  I love to wear face packs and the paper and gel face masks that I picked up in Korea.  I was hoping that this would be just like it with a big dose of moisture and some lasting benefits.  I have been really happy with my first couple of Oz Naturals products I have reviewed so I had high hopes for this hydration mask.

This mask is a thick translucent gel that smoothed on easily.  I noticed right away that it has the hyaluronic or some other ingredient that tingles and burns a bit on my skin.  The directions say that the mask can stay on for 15-30 minutes but after 10 minutes and my face reacting and reddening I decided to wash it off.  The mask washed and wiped off easily but I had the warmed & reacted feeling on my face for about 30 minutes after rinsing it off.  I moisturized as normal after rinsing this mask off and a couple hours later the redness went away but the hydration was still evident

I hope that this product will work for most people.  I am not sure that this product will be used on my face again due to the reaction with my skin.  But I am glad I got to try out this Oz Naturals Hydration mask.


From the Company
  • THIS FACE MASK is considered to be the most effective form of hydration for dry dull skin. If you're looking to hydrate and replenish aging skin, this facial mask has no competitors and is guaranteed to make your skin look healthy and vibrant again

Bloody Mary by Salsa Crazy Review


  • #bloodymary
  So you are looking for something spicy to pair with your brunch or lazy afternoon?  Well look no further than this Salsa Crazy habanero bloody mary mix.  I was so excited to try this bloody mary mix so I made sure to make a premium Salsa Crazy bacon bloody mary for my first one.   Boy, this bloody mary mix packs a punch.  I like that this mix is good and thick so it can mix well with both your vodka and the ice.  I hate when about halfway through your bloody mary is becomes too watery to enjoy.  Because a bloody mary is a meatier drink I tend to drink it slower than normal and along with the pace of a big meal  so having my mix be nice and thick is key.  

I decided to go all out so I made my bloody mary with great vodka and a bacon,lime, and olive garnish.  I thought it was I took my first sip and smiled.  This bloody mary mix was good and thick with a very full flavor.  The initial spiciness is there and then the habanero kind of creeps up and then lingers.  This is great if you enjoy a spicy Bloody Mary.  Of course, if you don't, you should not reach for a fiery bottle that has the word habanero.  I will say that I think this is best as an accompaniment for a meal as it is a bit spicy for my taste alone.  


There was a bit of a mix-up on Amazon.com's ordering page and I at first received the Salsa Crazy salsa.  The customer service with the company quickly rectified the problem and let me keep to try this salsa.  Well lucky for me, because it is delicious as well.  I like that this has a kick and some heat. It does nto overwhelm anything you use it with though.  I recommend both products fully.

OZ Naturals Facial Cleanser Review


#oznaturals purchase HERE

I have been using this OZ Naturals Ocean Mineral Facial Cleanser for several weeks now and have been very happy.  I love how the smell is like walking on the beach in the Outer Banks, NC and sea oats.  You know, before you walk by the dead horseshoe crab of course.  It is soft and clean and minerally.   I find it to be not rough but  it is cleansing for my face and neck.  It smoothes on, does not lather, and rinses off cleanly. I also like that I can wash my face in the beginning of the shower and my face does not feel tight or dry at the end of the shower where I have to rush to put the moisturizer on.  
I have use this cleanser with my hands and also with my konjac sponge.  A few months ago my Clarisonic died so I have been using konjac sponges while I save up for a replacement.  I have been using this with some other OZ naturals products that I will post about soon.  
The only issue that I have with this cleanser is that it is very loose and in an upside down squeeze tube it is too loose and sometimes too much comes out.  I will definitely will order this again but will transfer it into a pump bottle.  

From the Company

Metallic flash Jewelry Tattoos by Kiki Review




Hi I have been able to review a new set of Metallic Flash Tattoos by Kiki.  I like these tattoos because there is so much variety!  You get 5 full sheets of tattoos in such a wide variety of styles.  This enables you to get just the style you are looking for at any time.  I like that the tattoos can really span a wide age range.  There are also a lot of plain bands for rings and bracelets.  This allows you to not worry about saving a band for a special occasion.  You have plenty to use these whenever.  Also there are a lot of little add-on charm tattoos so you can customize your bracelet bands.  the 5 sheet set also had some larger tattoos that you can use to highlight body parts.  
The tattoos go on easily and last about 2 days.  Now let me say that these tattoos do not last as long as some others but you do not have the problem of the clear residue part of the tattoo getting dirty and grey like some others do.  For that reason I like this set of tattoos.  I like them for an event or day, but at my age I do not want them lingering for a while looking grubby.  You can head over to my YouTube page to watch how easily it is to apply.  I have put the video at the bottom of this review as well.  FOr your first try you may want to use a small tattoo on a different part just so you can have a practice run.  
Well thank you for reading and have a great day!   


From the Company
Have all the fun without the commitment. These tattoos will last from 4-6 days depending on where they are placed and how well you take care of them. Avoid soap, sunscreen and oils to prolong the life of your tattoos. Removes easily with baby oil. 
- Your Friends will say, "Were did you get those!" Jewelry inspired metallic flash tattoos are well designed based on todays hottest jewelry designs, fun slogans for the wrist, fingers, neck arm and back. Put on a ring, bracelet, necklace or arm band that is shiny yet elegant.
5 Packs per envelope of super high quality, awesome California Inspired Tattoos

Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon Review

Find it HERE

I found this Tea to be nice and refreshing.  It has a lovely earthy taste to it that I can't quite place.  This maybe the dandelion root flavor.  I had Mr Man try it and he said it was nice... Outdoorsy?  No.  He is sometimes less helpful....  I have been drinking it in the afternoon with a small amount of Stevia to enhance the sweetness.  I think that my favorite part of this tea is that it has a nice flavor and yet is not a strongly colored tea.  I do worry that some teas are so dark that it can stain my teeth, especially hibiscus.  The cinnamon flavor lingers but does not get bitter in the cup.  I like that this tea is a detox tea but it is definitely not a powerful tea GI track-wise .  So basically you don't have to worry about what time of day you drink this tea or do you have to worry about being tethered to a restroom.  I also enjoy that the box has a expiration date so you have over a year to enjoy this organic, non-GMO, vegan(didn't know that was an option) tea.

From the Company
Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon - USDA Organic - Supports Healthy Digestion - Aids in Liver & Kidney Detoxification - 2 HEAPING GRAMS PER TEA BAG

1. SUPPORTS HEALTHY DIGESTION, KIDNEY HEALTH & LIVER FUNCTION Detox the liver and kidneys from toxins that can build up over time. Healthy digestion helps the body to absorb more nutrients and improve physical and cognitive functions.

3. VITAMIN RICH Raw Dandelion root is rich in Vitamins A, C, D and B-complex plus Iron, Potassium and Zinc. A diet rich in these nutrients can help treat mood disorders, liver disorders and boost a weakened immune system.
4. HIBISCUS & CINNAMON While enhancing the earthy flavor, and adding a hint of flowery sweetness to every cup; Hibiscus has been shown to help regulate blood pressure and Cinnamon has been shown to regulate blood sugar and reduce bad cholesterol.

Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask = Deep Cleansing + Radiant Glow Review


I received this mud mask and was excited to try it out.  I remember when I was young using mud masks and the immediate clarifying and smoothing effect they gave.  I that this is a lot different from received this mud mask and after cleaning and drying my face put it on.  The directions say to put a medium amount on your face.  When I put my fingers in the pot  I noticed that this is looser than most mus masks.  The consistency is like thick pudding.  Also once I started to put mud on my face the mud color in the pot changed colors and thickness.  I recommend that you stir it up the first time because some settling seems to occur.  The smell has a strong minty earthy aroma.  There is a little bit of grit in the mud but it is not really rough and abrasive.

Order Here
So halfway through putting the mud mask on myself and Mr Man(he's a trooper) we noticed a tingling bordering on stinging on the face.  It is a strong menthol mineral smell that really does not go away while it is on.

After about 15 minutes we went in to wash the mud off.  It took a while to get the mud off.  We used a washcloth ans warm water to try to get it off.  Mr. Man ended up just dunking his head under the faucet and washing.  The mud does not dry completely so using a washcloth and wiping in a circular motion is pretty much the best way to remove the mask.  We followed with a full moisture regimen as usual.  I have Mr Man trained to use serums, moisturizers, and eye creams.  He now wants to do them all.  Kinda funny if you can visualize a very tall and very strong man with a beauty regimen.

Well afterwards I found that my face is smoother but still a bit warm an hour afterwards.  Poor Mr Man though.  His face was still a bit red and blotchy after a few hours.  He will not be trying another mud mask for a while.

Advanced Hair Repair Shampo & Conditioner Review


I have been using this Arvazallia Hair system for a couple weeks now and am happy with my results.  I received for review a shampoo, conditioner, & hydrating mask.  The set all arrived quickly and each was individually wrapped in plastic.  So smart for mailing liquids.  I wish every company did that.  I unwrapped and smelled the shampoo, not too heavy or perfumy.  It has a nice North African herbal scent to it.  The conditioner was also nice and had a strong smell of Argon oil.  There is also a large jar of deep conditioning mask to be used every few days as part of the hair system. 
The first time I tried the shampoo I realized a couple of things.  Number 1, the shampoo and conditioner is Thick!  Because the bottles are tubes, I simply flipped over the bottles over in the shower.  Problem solved.  Number 2, the shampoo comes out as a clear gel, but the gel is not smooth.  It is kinda odd to have a shampoo that is a bit clumpy.  But it smells fine and makes a medium lather and works so it does not bother me.  I have found that unless my hair is really grimy I can just shampoo it once.  The conditioner is nice as well.  I have long color-treated hair so a good amount on the bottom half of my hair for a minute worked well.  I thought both products rinsed easily out of my hair and I have not had any time that there has been residue after showering on my hair.  The mask is good to use once or twice a week.  It is very thick as I previously said.  I really like the mask.  It easily works through my hair and the silkiness lasts a couple days.  

I can comb out my hair without using any additional products when using this shampoo and conditioner, even when not using the hair mask.  This is so rare  with my hair.  I did find that my hair  dried easily and after a day I did not need to wash it again.  I find my hair to stay soft and untangled.  I only add additional hair products when I am going to curl it later.  I recommend this hair care system and hope that you can get the same results.

Age Defense Neck Cream by Body Merry Review


I am a firm believer in taking care of my skin.  This includes everything that people can see.  face, eyes, arms, legs, hands, and neck.  I remember reading somewhere that you can tell how old a woman is by her hands and neck/chest.  It is fun to see stars and models all dressed up with young youthful faces and old hands and chests.  Okay, I admit it is a bit harsh but hey these ladies are still gorgeous.  
Moving on.  

#BodyMerry Buy it here
So I know that I need to take care of my neck/chest but I never feel that body cream is the right thing for it.  Body cream, so perfect for arms & legs, just seems too heavy and greasy on my chest and neck.  Then you realize that face cream is maybe too light for chests.  Not to mention that face creams and serums can be pretty pricy and usually in too small a container to spread on your neck and chest.  That is about the same surface area as your face.  





Well Body Merry to the rescue!  This neck cream is light yet not too sheer and lightweight.  This cream has a nice light scent that soaks into my upper chest and neck without making it feel slimy or sticky.  I like that I can use this cream day and night.  I find that the cream keeps my neck hydrated and is helping the bit of sag on my jawline that I started to notice in the mirror recently.  I am glad that I had the opportunity to try this out and I will be using it for years to come.  I don't want other people to realize my age by my neck ya know.  

  • Lift, firm and hydrate the delicate skin of your neck and chest with Body Merry's Age Defense Neck Cream - a powerful moisturizer that firms, smoothes, moisturizes and improves the suppleness and elasticity of your décolleté.
  • Provide your skin with its daily staple requirements of vitamins, antioxidants and AHAs. 4% Vitamin C, 5% Glycolic Acid and Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) are supported by powerful natural and organic ingredients such as Plant Derived Hyaluronic Acid, Propolis, Royal Jelly, Cocoa Butter, Jojoba Oil, Green Tea, Avocado Oil, Licorice, Lemongrass and Rosehip Oil, to name just a few.

1.25oz Dot & Dot Travel Bottles Review





Buy them Here
Find the Travel set here
I look for travel bottles every couple of years and I have found some that so a pretty good job.  But this set of travel bottles by Dot & Dot seem to have the whole package.  The bottles are easy to fill due to their wide mouth.  The bottles also have a suction cup so you can set them up while you shower.  A lot of hotel and hostel showers just do not provide very much in the way of toiletry shelving.  So the suction cup is a very thoughtful addition.  I also have purchased travel bottles that have the identifiers on them.  So you know which is shampoo, conditioner, face wash, etc.  Well you may think that you will remember when you are filling them; and you may the first couple times you use them.  but eventually you will forget which thing the green gel is.  The problem with most identifiers is that they will shift around.  So you can't trust what the mark says.  Other bottles can have an area where you can write on them.  the problem again is that they will always eventually rub off.  Well this set of travel bottles has a very sturdy ring that can not be shifted around when traveling.  The ring that helps identify what the liquid is can only be removed and shifted when the cap is off for refilling. 
The bottles hold 1.25 oz each.  You do want to make sure to not overfill bottles when you are flying with them.  This seems like a small amount but really is a good volume for travel for a week or more plus you have room in a bag for more in your travel case.  

I also like that these bottles have a nice little soft travel bag that can be used as your airline carry-on liquids bag.  I have go through so many travel bottles over the years and the normal price is $4-6 for each one.  So $19.97 seems a bit high but in reality having good set of travel bottles is a great price to pay.
  You can find out more about these Dot & Dot Travel Bottles and their other travel items at http://dotdottravel.com/1oz I hope you enjoyed reading my review and have a great day.

+LIFEGUARD MINI 1 PORTABLE CHARGER Review


#pluslifeguard

I have been wanting to try out a portable phone charger for a while.  Ever since I started traveling with my smart phone many years ago I have wanted to be able to spend long layovers in airports without having to be tethered to an outlet on a random wall or seat in the airport.  Ugh,  every time I remember that I need to get a charger so I can charge on the go.  

When I received this charger I was happy by how small this charger is.  It is about the length of a pack of lifesavers and the thickness of a Rolo(I'm hungry) roll.  Maybe 3/4" thick.  This charger comes with a micro USB and an Apple charger.  I tried the cord on my friend's iPhone and the cord does register and it does not say unregistered.  So that was a great first start to this Lifeguard portable charger.  

I was able to easily charge up this charger from my computer.  The little light turned off when it was ready.   It took about 2 hours to charge the charger fully.  I was excited to try it out the first time so I plugged it in and started charging from a 20% battery.  Okay when the light turned off at 65%(that means it is finished charging) I realized my mistake.  I had been using the phone while charging.  So I tried again the next day.  My phone was at 15% and I was able to get the charge up to 85% before the charger finished charging.  Still I tried several more times and I was not able to get a charge higher than 85%.  Now I am very happy to get that much charge.  It keeps me able to travel and not worry about my phone approaching the scary 30% battery.  But I just wish it was able to charge a bit more.
