Vitamin C+E Serum by Complete Skin Solutions


#VitaminCEFerulicWithHyaluronicAcid
I have reviewed quite a few different Vitamin C serums over the past year or so. Most I've loved, however sometimes you come across one that is just not your favorite. I have to say, this is one of them.

Although this product contains many wonderful ingredients that are so great for your skin, how it sits on the skin is a big deal in my opinion.

This serum was sticky and slightly oily. The sticky feeling lingers on the hands after application as well as on the face.


I thought that after sitting on the skin it would absorb but the sticky feeling was still there. I did not like that at all! I want to be able to apply a serum and go on about my day with no worries. It's kind of hard to do that when your eye lid is sticking and catching when you blink. Not a comfortable feeling at all.

Product Description: 

Vitamin C penetrates deep into damaged skin and stimulates new collagen - a protein which makes skin appear plump and firm. Applying non-prescription Vitamin C to your skin causes up to a 60% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Synergistic combinations of antioxidants provide an unsurpassed amount of photo-aging protection against the suns harmful rays (ultraviolet radiation). This potent treatment contains a high amount of antioxidants to shield the skins surface, creating a protective defense barrier against environmental pollutants, assaults, and aggressors which can lead to oxidative stress and premature skin aging. Repairs and improves the appearance of photo damaged skin, blotchy skin types, and those experiencing uneven skin tones. Treats by lightening age and brown spots, melasma, erythma (redness), hyperpigmentation, as it smoothes and softens fine lines and wrinkles. All Complete Skin Solutions products' are Manufactured in FDA-Registered laboratory facility under strict US FDA guidelines. Made in the USA. No Parabens. No Oils. Cruelty-Free.

It claims to do so much for your skin and I'm sure it would if you could stand to use it consistently. But everyone is different. Even though I did not care for this particular serum due to how it applies to the skin doesn't mean someone else might find it lovely.

If you are interested in trying this product out for yourself you can find it on Amazon for $21.90. It has many great reviews so this product does work for most people it seems. It's worth a try.

Brillante Manual Coffee Grinder


I recently had the opportunity to test out this manual coffee grinder by Brillante. I have to say I am impressed.

My first thought before trying this was that I wasn't going to like it as much as my electric coffee grinder. I thought it would be more difficult and a pain to grind by hand.

I was wrong! I actually enjoyed using this product. It was simple to assemble and easy to grind. It does come with a few detachable parts that you have to clean after use but other than that it's a breeze. My electric coffee grinder is actually harder to clean because it doesn't come apart like this one.



You can adjust the components in this grinder to accommodate brewing needs like for espresso, pour over, french press/plunger, percolator or Turkish. 

The grinder is small and compact which makes it easy to store in a drawer. I like that it has the little clear window at the bottom so you can see how much coffee you have ground. 

All in all, I'm highly impressed and happy with this product. It's perfect for grinding coffee but can also be used for grinding spices.
