Review: Slimvite- Women's Multivitamin & Multimineral

 I received "Slimvite- Women's Multivitamin & Multimineral" for free, in exchange for my honest review.  This usually costs $40.

I gave Slimvite 5 stars.  Check out my review! :)

I have been using Slimvite for a little under two weeks now.  You take two capsules, in the morning, and that's it for the day!  At the recommended amount, one bottle will last for 30 days.  For only two capsules per day, the amount of vitamins and minerals in a single serving is pretty amazing.  One serving (two capsules) of Slimvite has 800% daily value of Vitamin B12!  Note however, that it is the largest %DV compared to the other vitamins and minerals.  For me personally, I am particularly low on Vitamin D, magnesium,and iron. One serving of Slimvite has 1200 IU (300%DV) of Vitamin D, 120% DV of Iron, and 100% DV of Magnesium. There are over 25 Vitamins and minerals in Slimvite!  Overall, I am impressed by the amount of vitamins and minerals that are in Slimvite, and the fact that it is targeted for women, and helps hair, nails, and skin, makes it EVEN better.  The only con about this product is that it does contain food coloring....

Review: Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox

I received "Acai Berry Colon Cleanse & Detox" for free in exchange for my honest review.  This product usually costs $26.

I gave this supplement 5 stars.  Check out my review! :)

The bottle says to use 2 capsules per day, at bedtime.  There are a total of 60 capsules, so one bottle will last for a whole month.  In addition to acai berry, the capsules contain fruit extract, juniper berry, dandelion root, uva ursi, senna leaf, psyllium husk, buchu extract, L-Carnitine, and Vitamin B6.  The only inactive ingredients are gelatin, and magnesium stearate.  I have been using this for less then two weeks, and I look forward to see what this will end up doing in the long run! :)  It definitely aids in digestion, and isn't super harsh, like a lot of detox products.  I don't feel gassy,bloated, or nauseous when using this product.

Review: TURMERIC CURCUMIN BioPerine Capsules

I received TURMERIC CURCUMIN BioPerine Capsules for free, in exchange for my honest review. This usually costs $20.


I gave this 4 stars.  Check out my review!
This bottle contains 180 capsules, so it will last 3 months if you take the suggested two pills per day.  I got this because of the anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric.  I have been making turmeric face masks lately, and it has helped a lot with my face.  However, I didn't want to be making masks all the time, so I decided to give this a try.  It does help, but not quite as well as putting the turmeric directly on my face.  Then again, I have been taking this for less than two weeks, so maybe it hasn't taken full effect yet.  Turmeric has MULTIPLE health benefits (and lots of antioxidants) though, so I sure it is doing great things in my body that I don't even know about yet.  Really though, look up some of turmeric's health benefits for yourself! :)  The only reason this gets 4 stars, instead of 5, is because the pills do have a bit of a turmeric taste; and I wish they didn't.

Review: Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum

I received Valentia Royal Rose Hydrating Serum for free, in exchange for my honest review.  This product usually costs $35.


I gave this serum 5 stars.  Check out my review!

Another great Valentia product!  This serum has more of a lotion-type texture, compared to other serums.  I just use one pump, which absorbs quickly into my skin, and doesn't leave any sort of oily residue. It has a very light rose scent, so don't worry about it being too strong if you are sensitive to smell.  My face tends to get rather itchy, which makes me pick at it, which then makes my acne even worse.  However, I have found that this serum truly SOOTHES my skin, giving it some relief, so I can stop scratching at it.  This is a great serum that smells good, hydrates, and soothes my skin.

Review: Loose Leaf Green Tea Chai

I recently received Loose Leaf Green Tea Chai, in exchange for my honest review. This product is around $11, and I got it for free.  I five this awesome tea 5 stars! :D



I love green tea, and I love chai tea, so I was so happy to get to try the two mixed together! :)  Keep in mind that this is a loose leaf tea, so it does not come in tea bags (you will need a tea strainer).  When I first brewed this tea, I was surprised that in came out with such a light color.  At first I thought it wasn't brewing properly, but then I tasted it, and it tasted just like chai tea!  It is a MUCH lighter color than regular chai tea, since it is made with green tea, instead of black tea.  I was also glad to find that this brand did not put too much black pepper in their tea.  Many brands put too much black pepper in chai tea, which I dislike.  You only need one teaspoon to make one cup of this spiced green tea, and the bag is pretty large, so it will last quite awhile!  I found it really interesting that the date of packaging was right on the bag.  Mine was packaged just last month, it is SO nice to know that I am getting fresh tea!  #masalachaigreen

Review: Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder

The most recent product I have received is Ceremonial Grade Matcha Green Tea Powder by Nature's Blueprint.  This product is typically $35, and I received it completely for free, in exchange for my honest review.

I gave this product  stars.  This is my experience:

This is the best matcha I have tried so far.  Unlike any other matcha I have tried, this one is not at all powdering after mixing it with water.  I HATE powdery drinks, so I was really glad that it came out nice and silky smooth.  Also, you DO NOT have to use hot water, you can use cold water, and just shake it up.  It dissolves just fine in cold water, which is great, because I prefer iced green tea over hot green tea (just make sure to add the ice after shaking it up).  This matcha is a very rich green color, even when only using 1/4 of a teaspoon. This is high quality matcha.

Review: Vitamin C Serum by ArtNaturals

I recently received ArtNaturals Enhanced Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for free in exchange for my honest review.  This product usually costs around $11.  
I gave this serum 3 stars.  This is my review:

There are LOTS of Vitamin C serums out there, and this is one of two that I have tried.  The only advantage of this brand, compared to other brands, is the price.  ArtNaturals Vitamin C serum is much cheaper compared to other serums.  This serum is quite watery, and I felt that a lot of the serum was getting wasted by slipping through my fingers.  It also takes a lot longer to absorb into the skin compared to other brands.  It also has a bit of an alcohol scent.  This isn't the sort of thing to expect "instant" results from.  To get full results, use this for a few weeks. This would be the brand to try if you want to try a Vitamin C serum, at a cheaper cost.

Review: Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub by Valentia

I recently received Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub for free, in exchange for my honest review.  This product typically costs $25.




I gave this scrub 5 stars.  This is my experience:

I LOVE this scrub! I now use it as part of my morning, and evening facial cleansing routine. Exfoliating scrubs often irritate my skin, but this one did not irritate my skin it all. I has a light, fresh, pleasant smelling scent. Although the jar is fairly small, you only need a small dab of the scrub to do the trick, so this will actually last for quite awhile. This scrub leaves my skin feeling soothed and refreshed.

Review: Dead Sea Mud Mask by ArtNaturals

I recently received Art Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask for $1.  This product usually costs around $14.  






I gave this mask 5 stars.  Here is my experience:


I have used this product twice now. Out of any mask I have tried (and I have tried a lot), this FEELS the greatest. It is so smooth and creamy. It also smells amazing, like perfume. The jar recommends leaving on for 15 minutes, but I left it on for longer, because it just smells SO good. After using it, my face feels soft and smooth. At first you may be a bit worried about putting mud of all things on your face, but it is good, really!

Review: Inhalable Sleep Aid

I recently received the world's first "Inhalable Sleep Aid" This product typically costs around $8 for one, and I received it for $0.

I gave this sleep aid 5 stars.  Here is my experience:
Please keep in mind that I have EXTREME insomnia, so most people's experience with this will be even better than mine. I have been using this for nearly two weeks, and it is the FIRST sleep aid that I have actually reordered. I have tried sleep tea, bi-neural beats, hypnotherapy, and THREE different sleep supplements. This is the best thing I have tried so far. It works much quicker than everything else I tried. At first it took me awhile to get the hang of how to use it, but eventually I figured it out. Just make sure that no "smoke" comes out your mouth (or nose), so that you get the full effect. A family member, with not nearly as bad sleep issues as me, slept LIKE A BABY when using this. Also, it actually has a pretty good flavor, so don't worry, it doesn't taste bad.

Review: Even Glow Serum Vitamin C Serum by Valentia

The most recent product I got was Valentia's Even Glow Serum Vitamin C Serum.  It is usually $24, and I got it for FREE!



I gave this serum 5 stars.  Here is my review:

This is so awesome! It smells nice and like citrus (but don't worry, you won't smell like oranges all day), and it lasts forever. Although it can be more pricey than other serums, it is totally worth it! I use this as part of my morning facial routine now. It is very gentle, and absorbs very quickly. I have tried a different serum before, but it was kind of oily and took a long time to absorb.  This DOES NOT do this.  It is very effective. You only need like 2-4 drops. The funny thing is, it says to use a moisturizer afterwards, but I find that it acts like it's own moisturizer. :)

Review: Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub by First Botany

I recently received First Botany's Natural Arabica Coffee Scrub for free, in exchange for an honest review.  This scrub is usually $15.




I give this product 3 stars.  Here is my review:

This product smells REALLY good, probably the best thing about it. When I got the product, I was expecting more of an exfoliating daily cream sort of thing, not a dry, grainy, product to use only in the shower. I don't have sensitive skin, and yet it really irritated my skin, and it burned a lot. If you use this in the shower, I would recommend not using on your face. It is only good for exfoliating the rest of the skin on your body, NOT your face. Also, I was expecting more coffee, but it was actually mostly salt; there was hardly any coffee.

Review: Loop Resistance Bands by Live Infinitely

The most recent product that I have received for free is, "Loop Resistance Bands by Live Infinitely Large Design Set of 5".  This product is typically $17.




I gave this product 4 stars.  Here is my review:

These are the first resistance bands that I have tried. They come in five different "strengths", and are all different colors. It also comes with a bag, which is handy when you want to bring them places. It might not work very well the first time you try to use it, because they need to me "broken in". But once they are broken in, they work pretty well. I do think that the company could do a better job at providing exercises for the bands. Because of this, I had to look for workouts from other brands, only to find that some of them simply were not doable, because these ones are not quite stretchy enough. You cannot have these bands under your feet, and lift it over your head, which is a bit of a con for me since I particularly wanted to workout my triceps. However, there are plenty of good exercises to do with these. I might not be using these in my everyday workout routine, but I definitely plan on bringing them when I am traveling, and need to stay in shape. Bringing my dumbbells might not work very well, so these are my go to!

Review: NeuroEnhance Natural Brain Function Booster Supplement

Recently, I received "NeuroEnhance Natural Brain Function Booster Supplement for Memory, Focus, Mental Clarity & Cognitive Function Enhanced Ginkgo Biloba" for free, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. This product is usually $19.





I give this product 5 stars.  Here is my review:

I have been using this for a few days now. I didn't expect much, but I am glad that I was wrong! This product definitely helps me focus, and I have noticed that I am not as "scatterbrained". They don't advertise the fact that it is a "mood booster" very well, but I was pleasantly surprised to notice that it helps me to be happier! :) I think it might also be giving me energy, but maybe that is just the mood booster having it's effect. It is practically a motivation pill.
The bottle contains 60 capsules, and you only take one a day, so it lasts for a whole two months. I take it in the morning, on an empty stomach, and I don't feel sick at all; unlike many other supplements. The effects last all day. I would definitely recommend this product.

Review: Natural Herbal Sleep Aid Tea By Hint Wellness

I recently received Natural Herbal Sleep Aid Tea By Hint Wellness for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.  This product is typically $17.  





I give this 5 stars.  Here is my review:

Let me start off to say that I have EXTREME sleep issues. It takes me at least an hour to get to sleep, and I wake up all during the night. Because of the severity of my issues, most people will receive much better results then what I did. The first two nights that I used this tea, it worked really well. I went to sleep fairly easily, and didn't wake up during the night. After the first two nights the results were not as good though. So this tea is probably meant for those with occasional sleep issues, and doesn't work as well if you are planning to use it every night. However, even though my sleep experience with this tea is not as good as it was the first two nights, it is still better than what it was before I drank this tea. With continual usage it still takes me about an hour to get to sleep, but I don't wake up as often during the night as I used to.  This gets four stars because this has worked better than anything else I have tried, and I have tried MANY things.
