AuraGlow Professional On-The-Go Teeth Whitening Pen


I got to try the AuraGlow On the Go Teeth Whitening Pen recently. I like this method of teeth whitening especially when I'm in a hurry and I don't have time to do teeth trays. I can just swipe it on  and go.

With consecutive use this teeth whitening pen can get your teeth 2-3 shades whiter.

To see real results you have to use this product continuously.




Product details:

  • Contains 15-20 applications for multiple whitening sessions.
  • Twist pen makes it easy to apply whitening gel in seconds with no mess.
  • Perfect for whitening teeth on-the-go and for touch ups.
  • Get 2-8 shades whiter with consecutive use.
 My teeth were a little brighter just after the first use but like I mentioned to really see results this product would need to be used more than just once in a while.

It's very easy to use. You just twist the end until the product appears on the bristles and then brush it on. You have to keep your mouth open for a few seconds and then you can proceed with your day. You can keep it in your purse or pocket and use it when you need it for touch ups.

The only thing that is a little annoying is having to spit constantly after using it. The gel kind of froths up in your mouth.



The one thing I really appreciate about this method is that I didn't notice any teeth sensitivity like I do with other methods.

Hyaluronic Serum + Vitamin C by CSCS


Here's another great hyaluronic acid/vitamin C serum.

This one is much like the others. It provides moisture to help plump the skin. It contains plant based ingredients that help eliminate fine lines, wrinkles and evens out skin tone.

This is a pretty wonderful serum. It really helps my skin look it's best. One thing that really makes fine lines and wrinkles stand out is lack of moisture to the skin.

The serum helps put that moisture back, plumping the skin and smoothing out the wrinkles. I have started to notice fine lines and as long as I'm keeping hydrated inside and out they are not as noticeable. This serum really helps with that. I like that it contains Vitamin C as well which is also great for the skin and helps restore it.

Overall, I'm really happy with this serum. It provides the moisture I need and is gentle with no harsh chemicals or fragrances. This serum has hardly any scent at all which is a huge plus for me!

If you would like to learn more about this serum or purchase a bottle for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $29.99.

Ladybird Series Pacifier Clip by Kylo Kita


I was absolutely delighted to try out this beautiful pacifier clip by Kylo Kita. It is the first pacifier clip I have found to work with the type of pacifiers that I buy.

I love the design with all the colorful beads. It's easy to use and assemble.

The thread that is uses is very strong and is made of Polypropylene and the clips is made of nickle and lead free steel. 

I have found this pacifier clip so useful. My boy is constantly losing his pacifiers and dropping them when we are out and about. 

This clip has been pretty much a lifesaver. It keeps the pacifier in arms reach so that my little one always has it there to soothe themselves when they need it and you don't have to worry about them dropping it and losing it. 



This clip is just beautiful to look at. I really prefer it over others ones I found that are more simple. I get comments about how cute it is when we are out and about. 

One thing I did notice however, is that over time the clip did seem to lose it's strength a little bit. My son pulls it off all the time. Also, the paint on the beads has worn off a bit. (As you can probably tell in the picture) So although it's not as bright and pretty as it was  but it's still just as effective. A little wear and tear is expected. 


If you would like to learn more about it you can find it on Amazon for $9.98.

Shoe Odor Eliminator by AMARE TERRA


Shoe odors can be very embarrassing and sometimes hard to control.

Unless you wash your shoes everyday it's hard to get rid of the smell but that can cause a lot of wear and tear on your shoes.

My husband has these boots he wears in the winter time. They are insulated so they keep his feet warm and unfortunately a little bit sweaty. After a while them things start getting an odor that seems to linger for days.

I figured the only way to get rid of it is to wash them but that is sometimes hard to do when you need them available.

Fortunately there is a great spray out there that can get rid of your shoe odors. AMARE TERRA'S shoe odor eliminator.

It's all natural and safe for the whole family!

The best part of course is, it works! I spritzed a couple sprays in my husbands boots and let it sit for a minute and the odor was gone. The only thing lingering was the citrus smell of the spray which smells really good and fresh.

I am so happy to have a product like this. It will definitely get a lot of use in my house. I live in a house full of boys so we always got a pair of smelly shoes laying around.

LED CREE Headlamp by bright-light


I received another headlamp to review. This one is by bright-light.

Features include:
  • 168 Lumens
  • SOS Flashing
  • CREE XP-E
  • Red LED
  • IPX6
  • 3xAAA Batteries
  • Adjustable Headstrap



This is a great headlamp. My husband really enjoyed using it. He keeps it by his desk to use when working on projects where he would need a direct light. With the headlamp you can direct light where you need it, hands free. This makes working on projects a breeze!

I can see this headlight being used for a lot of things like working on your car or even camping or hiking!

I really like all the features to this headlamp. It's comfortable to wear and easy to use.

Having to hold a flashlight while simultaneously working on something is a pain in the butt.  That's what makes this product so great because you can direct light exactly where you are looking without using your hands. It's pretty awesome. The light is very bright and lights up a huge area. My husband and I are pretty pleased with it and can't complain about it.

Niacinamide Pure Vitamin B3 Serum 5%


I've been hearing a lot of talk about Niacinamide and how wonderful it is for the skin so I had to give this one a try by Complete Skin Solutions. 

It is a highly concentrated anti-aging formula that will stimulate and boost collagen production while smoothing fine lines & wrinkles. It also helps with hyper-pigmentation and reduces pores.

I so needed a product like this because unfortunately fine lines are starting to show up on my face, especially around my eyes. I'm a huge believer in using natural/organic products for the skin. They are so much more gentle and it gives you peace of mind knowing what your putting on your skin.

Also, the fact that it claims to reduce pores was exciting to me because my large pores are one of my biggest skin concerns at the moment. I know most of my problem is genetic and there's not a whole lot I can do about it but at least there is a product out there that can help reduce their appearance somewhat.



I really enjoy using this product. I apply it every morning and night. It's very gentle, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I love that it has virtually no scent to it. I find those that do very irritating.

The biggest difference I've noticed in my skin while using this product is hydration and plumpness of the skin. This serum really helps smooth out my skin and even out my complexion.

If you are interested in learning more about it or purchasing a bottle for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $19.90.

Kitchen Monster Pizza Cutter


Not all pizza cutters are created equal which is what I found out recently when I tried the Kitchen Monster pizza cutter.

There are several factors to consider in finding the perfect pizza cutter. You have to think about blade size, blade sharpness and the handle.

These factors are important to me because I want a pizza cutter that is going to be big enough and sharp enough to cut through the thickest pizza. I also want one that is going to be comfortable to use.



The Kitchen Monster pizza cutter met all my expectations. I love the ergonomic handle. I have carpel tunnel and my hands really hurt sometimes so I appreciate the comfortable shape of the handle on this pizza cutter. It's very easy to grip. I also love the big blade on it. It makes for cutting thick pizza so much easier and less messy.

I was so happy to upgrade my pizza cutter. My old one had just about had it. It was such a nice change. As you can see in the picture below just how much more superior the Kitchen Monster is.
My family and I eat a lot of pizza so I am happy to have this pizza cutter in my home. I use it all the time and it hasn't failed me yet. It cuts through pizza like no other!

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing one for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $12.37.

XANADU 24K Gold Vitamin C Serum


Isn't this the prettiest facial serum you have ever seen? I was so excited to be able to try it out.

It is a 24K Gold Vitamin C serum. Yes you read that right. 24K Gold! Pretty cool huh?

This serum is formulated with a combination of Botanical Ingredients, High Tech science, and 24K Real Gold. It claims to moisturize, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, even skin tone, repair sun damage, and give you a golden youthful glow.

This is definitely one of my favorite facial serums I've tried out. I love the luxurious look and feel to the overall product.






I love the way this serum feels on my skin. It's light and absorbs very quickly leaving behind beautiful specks of gold which gives you a nice sparkly glow.

This serum has really improved my skin. It moisturizes and plumps my skin which helps smooth out any fine lines that I have. When using it, my skin appears younger, more vibrant and healthy.

This serum can also be used as a primer for the skin. Because of the added moisture and firmness this serum gives to your skin, it helps your foundation go on smoother and look more natural.

I can't say enough good things about this serum. It's pretty great! It feels good and looks so nice on my bathroom sink. I'm always so excited to use it when I get up in the morning. If you like feeling pampered then you have got to try this serum. It's absolutely wonderful!

Blending Sponge by JGOB



I never knew how much I needed a blending sponge until I tried this one by JGOB. I really love this one because it's super soft.

I've tried another brand before this one that was a bit more firmer. I honestly like the softer ones. I feel like they work better and plus they feel better on your skin.

When I use this blending sponge with my liquid foundation I don't get streaks or that cakey look.


This sponge helps me achieve a flawless complexion that looks natural. I think I definitely prefer sponges over brushes. With brushes they can sometimes leave streaks but with the sponge it really helps even everything out.

I really like the tear drop shape of the sponge. The round end is great for larger areas of your face like your cheeks or forehead and the pointed end is better for areas around your nose and under your eyes.

I absolutely love this sponge. I can't do my makeup without it. As far as cleaning the sponge, I always just use a tiny bit of my facial cleanser and run it under some hot water. After washing, I just let it sit out to air dry.

This sponge also comes with a travel case so you can take it on the go.


If your interested in learning more about this sponge or purchasing it for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $14.97

Regenepure Biotin Conditioner


I love trying hair products! I'm always having issues with my hair whether it's dryness, split ends or frizz. I've recently had problems with my hair shedding. I can take a shower and by the end of it the drain is stopped up from all the hair.

My hair is really thick so it could use some shedding. This conditioner however is supposed to help reduce hair loss and add volume to your hair. This conditioner promotes hair growth with tea tree oil, saw palmetto, copper peptides and biotin for hair growth, hair loss conditioner adds volume, body and shine with jojoba oil. 

I usually don't go for products that claim to add volume since my hair is so full and thick but I thought I would try this one anyways. It's got some great ingredients in it. 


 


First of all, it smells wonderful. It has peppermint oil in it so it has the most delightful minty smell to it. I also noticed that the conditioner is very thick in consistency. It reminded me of toothpaste. 

I really enjoy using this conditioner. It makes my hair smell wonderful and look healthy. It contains biotin which is really good for your hair. It helps make it strong which is what I need because my hair breaks so easy resulting in split ends and frizz. It doesn't weigh your hair down making your hair look fuller and thicker. 

I'm pretty pleased with this conditioner. It makes my hair feel nice and smell so good. 

If you are interested in learning more about this product and others by Regenepure you can check out the company website here. They specialize in hair loss products. This particular product is also available on Amazon for $25.00.

YALMEH Aloe Super Youth Eye Cream


For the longest time I've never used an eye cream. I never thought I needed it until I spotted some fine lines forming around my eyes. When your young you think that aging and wrinkles is something you will never have to deal with until you actually do. It's unfortunate but something we all have to deal with.

Thankfully there are some great products out there to help combat and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.





I've really enjoyed using this aloe super youth eye cream by Yalmeh. It's made of all natural ingredients which makes it very gentle on the skin. It's creamy in consistency and it only takes one little dab under each eye. I've actually been using it in conjunction with some rosehip oil. I first apply a small amount of the rosehip oil and then the Yalmeh cream to lock in the oil. I do this every night and it really seems to be helping. As long as I'm using it consistently, my fine lines are significantly reduced and my skin is a lot more plump and soft.

I'm pretty pleased with this eye cream. It's gentle and does not feel heavy or oily on my skin. It absorbs very quickly. It does have a bit of a perfume/floral smell to it. I actually prefer products that don't have scents but I only use this under my eyes and not a lot of it so it doesn't really bother me all that much.


If you are interested in learning more about this product or others by Yalmeh you can check out their website here. If you would like to purchase it and try it out for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $19.25.

Konjac Sponge from WONDERPIEL™


Have I mentioned how much I love konjac sponges? Well, let me remind you. I LOVE konjac sponges!! They are magic to me. I know I have reviewed several different ones already but from a consumer stand point I think it's essential to have several different options to choose from.

There are some differences I've noticed. Some are larger or more firm while others are smaller and softer. There are also sponges for different skin types. For instance, this one is made with activated bamboo charcoal which in my opinion is good for those who have more oily/acne prone skin. It's also works well with normal and sensitive skin as well.

My skin is oily/acne prone and I have found that this particular type sponge helps control my breakouts and blackheads.




This particular sponge by WONDERPIEL™ was a bit on the firmer side. I actually prefer the softer ones to be honest but this was great sponge too. It was effective. It just didn't feel as good on my skin while using it like others I have tried. Everyone has their own unique preference.

It's amazing just how effective these sponges are. You wouldn't think they would be, but every one I've ever used has left my skin feeling so smooth and clean. You don't even have to use a cleanser if you don't want to. Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. I feel like this sponge does a great job at exfoliating my skin. I get rough patches around my nose, chin and forehead and after using this sponge my skin feels so soft and smooth.

It's a great tool for prepping your skin for serums and moisturizers too.

If you are interested and would like to learn more about this product or purchase one for yourself you can find it on Amazon. It currently sells for $10.00.

100% Natural Handmade Artisan Soap


I absolutely love natural bar soaps! I was so excited to try this soap out by SOAP.club. This particular one was Plumeria Island Escape.

These soaps are made of 100% natural and organic ingredients. The soaps are cold processed which helps enhance the scent of the essential oils and fragrances.

This particular scent is fragranced with natural Frangipani or Plumeria.


I was actually surprised at the size of the soap. My husband cut it in half and we used one for the shower and the other for washing our hands. I've tried natural/organic soaps in the past and a lot of them really didn't lather all that well. I like a soap that lathers because it makes me feel like it's more effective. This soap lathered very well and it smelled so good! The scent was not overly powerful. It has just enough fragrance to where it lightly lingers on your skin after your shower.

I love the look of the soaps too. Some of them have the prettiest colorful swirls in them.

This soap is definitely a must try. If you check out the company's website they have up to 75 different fragrances to choose from. I can't wait to try more!

If you would like to learn more about these soaps and check out all the other fragrances available you can check out the company website here. They have membership plans that you can set up to have the soaps delivered to you monthly. The soaps are about 10 dollars each which is a bit pricey for a bar soap but the great thing is, if you look on their main page you can sign up for a free sample. You can try it before you buy. That's pretty sweet!
