Foxbrim's Advanced Formula Vitamin C Serum

Foxbrim Vitamin C Amino Complex + Hyaluronic Acid

This packaging that Foxbrim uses is to die for!  I think I am in love with the whole label!  Foxbrim uses all natural and organic ingredients.  I do love this companies mission statement.  It sets this company apart from a lot of other consmetic companies because the statement is sweet, short and to the point.  The statement is: "Simple. Provide the highest quality premium all-natural products and deliver absolute beauty. Nothing less." 

There are some things I love about this serum.  And, one thing I don't really like about this serum.  First, what I love:  I love that it doesn't stink.  The packaging is to die for.  And, it dries quickly.  The only thing I don't like about this product is that it is very thin and runny.  So, when I apply it to my fave spots on my face.. It tries to run DOWN my face at a fast speed.  

After using this for a week, I noticed my face looked much fresher.  Which, I love because I am a mom to a 5 year old daughter and another daughter due in early January.  I'm going to need all the help I can get :)

Body Merry Hyaluronic Acid Serum + 2.5% Retinol Serum Review

Body Merry is a great company!  I got approved for the Hyaluronic Acid Serum + 2.5% Retinol Serum.  And, they threw in 1 other serum, the Hyaluronic Acid Serum and, the Age Defying Eye Cream.  I will review those extras in later blog posts!  As everyone knows.. I love my serums!

This Hyaluronic Acid Serum has 2.5% Retinol in it.  What exactly is retinol?  I have seen and heard many cosmetic products having retinol in them.  But, they never clearly said what retinol is or what it does for your skin that can help it remain youthful.  Retinol is The term that describes vitamin A derivatives that unclog pores, boost collagen to reduce fine lines, and speed cell turnover to even out discoloration and smooth the skin—sometimes in as little as four weeks.  This specific serum is 2.5% retinol serum will let your skin truly sink in all the goodness and power of Vitamin A. It effectively addresses wrinkles, fine lines and spots, while also improving the overall texture and tone of your skin.

I'm in cosmetic heaven!  I have the most ugly, uneven skin tone (according to me.)  When I opened the bottle I was surprised there was no scent.  No scent is better than an icky scent.  And, this specific product is noticeably thicker than others.  I have used this serum for about a week now.  I have seen subtle changes in my face.  My skin is smoother and it does look softer.  I have used a little less foundation on my face.  Which, isn't a lot of a change in my routine.  But, it's something and, I haven't been using this product for 4-6 weeks weeks.  

Would I buy this product again?  Yes! Most definitely!

Rose Hip Oil by Yumi Beautiful

Yumi Beautiful Rose Hip Oil packaging 

What is Rose Hip Oil?  I asked that question when I was approved for this product.  Here is what Yumi Beautiful had to say about their specific product:

"What Makes Yümi Rose Hips Serum So Special?
Organic, cold-pressed rose hip oil is a natural source of antioxidants, Vitamin C, and Trans-Retinoic Acid (a type of vitamin A that retinol converts to).
What you'll love about Rose Hip Oil is how beautifully and easily it absorbs into your skin to help keep your skin hydrated and elastic, minimizing the appearance of flaws.
* Bring vitality to dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin.
* Reduce the appearance of scars, stretch marks and fine lines over time.
* Perfect for environmental stressors that can lead to wrinkles.
* Awesome as a spot treatment for discoloration"

I got excited to see that hit helps reduce the signs of stretch marks over time.  I've had 2 kids and one on the way.  You can say that I have many, many tiger stripes.  It makes sense...Stretch marks are due to the lack of elasticity in that specific spot.  So, keeping that area hydrated helps the elasticity  I know, I know.  You can't completely get rid of stretch marks.  But, you certainly can make them look better and less noticeable!

 When I opened the product, I smell it.  I don't know why.. but, who wants to put a product on themselves that smells horribly?  Not me!  This product doesn't have any type of smell.  I was expecting like a rose smell (obviously!).  So, It was a little bit disappointing that it didn't smell anything like roses.  No smell is better than a bad smell!  I applied the product on the side of my hips where the stretch marks were more noticeable  You don't really need a lot.  A few drops otherwise the oil won't rub in.  It was easy to rub in, and it didn't leave an oily residue on my skin.  So, when I put my shirt down...it didn't feel like my shirt was sticking to my skin.  I apply some in the AM and some in the PM.  It's been a good week since I have started using this product and, I haven't noticed that my stretch marks are getting less visible.  But, then again its only been a week!  I will keep on using it for at least 4-5 more weeks.  But, I have noticed in the area applied that the skin is much smoother.  So, even if it doesn't work making my stretch marks less visible, the area applied is much smoother and softer.

Should you buy this product?  Sure! It is a good product so far.  It does give some type of result within a week of using it.  There are many benefits to using this product.

Magnetic Screen Door by MegaMesh

I was so, SO excited about this product!  When I received it, it was super heavy (which to me meant a good quality screen door.)  I was super excited to try this out.  It fit over our door perfectly.  The measurements fit a standard sized door.  So, If you have one of those big doors.. It probably won't fit.   

You can walk through the door and it will close right back up thanks to those awesome magnets that keep it closed.  My cat naturally wants to go outside.  It's annoying because he bolts for the door every time someone opens it.  He does love his window to sit and veg on.  But, with this he can sit by the door and, he doesn't try to get out.  It also keeps those pesky, annoying bugs out.  Where I live (in the middle of nowhere), I'm surrounded by woods.  Bugs are everywhere.  And, we are constantly having them come in uninvited.  This product helps tremendously!  Get this product if you don't already have it.  You won't be sorry :)

Hyaluronic Acid Serum with Lilac Stem Cells

Another great serum to review!  I get so excited with serums!!!!  When I received this serum I noticed the smell.  Its not a bad smell at all.  It brought me back to a spa or aesthetic office.  A relaxing lilac scent.  Like my Vitamin C review... I was excited to put it on my face because of the smell.

I used about a drop in each section I wanted to put the serum in.  I put the drops on: My forehead, under both my eyes (it did NOT burn YAY!), on both my cheeks and my neck.  I rubbed the serum in.  It dried fast (LOVING the products that dry fast!)  The dropper that gives the serum puts just the right amount of serum on your skin.  There is no need to wonder how light or hard you have to squeeze.

All in all:  I would recommend this product.  It works well.  And, it dries fast without making your skin dry and icky.  It's also made from all natural ingredients.

Please stay tuned for my next blog post.  It is going to address how to incorporate all of these products (lotions, serums ect..) in your daily routine :)

Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum With Vitamin C + Green Tea Review

I am usually always impressed with any product I recieve to review for Tomoson.  I may be 28 (To me I'm "old" but, I get told on the regular that I am far from "old".)  I am a woman that is always searcing for products to help me defy the aging process.  With that said, you can bet your sweet buttered biscuits that I was excited to be approved for a Hyaluronic Acid Serum.  And, I'm an avid lover of anything green tea.

The bottle I recieved was a decent size (1.7 oz).  And, it will last a really long time.  You only use maybe a dime sized amount.  It doesn't give off a vulgar smell (as some products do! Yuck!)  Doesn't burn or make your face feel oily.  When I applied the serum again, I only used a dime sized amount.  You can apply it anywhere on the face.  But, I usually sick to the forehead, under the eye, cheeks and neck.  When rubbed in, it dries up so fast.  I love products that dry fast.  You will probably hear me say that a lot when I'm reviewing creams, gels and serums.  Why?  Because we are all busy people!  My morning routine is far from fast.  It takes me on a speedy day an hour and a half to get ready.  So, products that add time to my already long morning process won't do me any good but get me frustrated.  

I would purchase this product when I run out.  I'm really loving it.

Orblue Garlic Press

First and foremost, I would like to apologize about how horrible the picture quality of my camera is.  I keep trying to figure out how to fix it and, it doesn't work.  So, please bare with me until I can get this issue resolved.

I was immediately impressed with this garlic press.  I was expecting something small and flimsy feeling.  The shipping was fast (then again, I do have Amazon Prime.)  I got the press in 2 days.  The press is stainless steel.  It's quite heavy and very durable.  This thing will last forever I bet.  It came with a little cleaner (the kind guys get with their clippers is the best way I can explain it.)  

I do love to cook.  I'm not all pre-remade, pre-boxed dinner kinda gal.  I do cook pre-made and pre-boxed don't get me wrong.. But, I can cook from scratch or "semi-homemade".  I LOVE garlic.  Any kind of garlic really.  Fresh, minced, powdered. There is something about fresh garlic that makes your food so much better vs the minced jar garlic you pop in your fridge.  But, lets face it.  Fresh garlic is a pain in the butt.  You have to smash it.  Then peel it, then mince it.  Then, your hands smell like a garlic factory for days.  

This press made all of that go away.  You should only put one clove of garlic in the press at a time.  Crushing and peeling is not necessary at all.  Because, when you press the handles together the pressure separates the skin/shell of the garlic.  If you are pressing the garlic to be stored for later use.  Make sure the garlic is in a sealed container.  The smell is very, VERY strong.  Garlic presses are also safe for kids to use.  But, make sure that the adult is supervising.  What does the garlic look like after its been pressed?  Like mushy minced garlic.  If you haven't had the awesome opportunity to use or buy a garlic press.. Please do.  I bet you'll always want to use your garlic presser when cooking :)
