I was sent a set of Silky Touch 22" 200 gram Chocolate Brown extensions to test out and review.<br />
<br />
Instantly, I was impressed with this company on so many levels. Communication between their customer service team and from the time of ordering my extensions to time of delivery, the process was smooth, quick, professional and without incident.<br />
<br />
I live in Canada and it took about 8 business days to receive my extensions. <br />
<br />
The Silk Touch extensions are ideal for the gals who are seeking a comfortable, natural looking hair extension. With over 12 colours to choose from, 3 weight grams and 6 lengths, one can either choose their hair for volume, length or both. <br />
<br />
I have fine hair that is curly and frizzy and right now, I have a mix of colour, black and cherry red. When I ordered my extensions, I had one colour and I picked the Chocolate Brown so that they could be more of an ombre effect with my dark brown/black colour. In the interim, I changed it up, so in my video, you will see that the extension colour doesn't blend so great. This is my choice and not the fault of the company at all. <br />
<br />
I love that each weft is filled with lots of hair and that the hair tapers at the ends for a more natural look. The clips on the extensions are fabulous. I no longer have to tease my hair before placing the extensions in because these clips will grab onto the finest and silkiest of hair! <br />
<br />
The hair on these extensions are made of 100% Remy Human Hair. The best available in the industry. You can see the multi-dimensional colour which again adds to a natural blendable colour. Unless, you are like me and decided to change up your own colour and then they don't blend so well! <br />
<br />
Overall, I am 100% satisfied with the company, the extensions and their customer service levels. I have purchased other extensions from other companies in the past and these are the best set to date! I have no complaints, only complaint that I have is that I want more! It becomes a bit of an addiction!!<br />

I was one of the fortunate people who got accepted to partake in the Influenster Campaign for Laniege. I received this product for free to try out and provide my honest feedback on it's performance. So here we go my friends!<br />

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let me start off in mentioning that my skin, especially now that we are starting into the Fall/Winter cold/dry season is on the drier side. I typically experience dryness on my cheeks, forehead and very rarely am I oily. Something I feel comes with age perhaps! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My preference for a moisturizer is typically a rich cream type of moisturizer and I very rarely enjoy a gel based moisturizer. In my past experiences they have always left a sticky residue on my skin and they didn't really absorb into my skin, leaving makeup application not looking so good. A girl can't have that, can we!</div>

<u><span style="color: red;"><strong>MY EXPERIENCE WITH LANIEGE WATER GEL MOISTURIZER:</strong></span></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I received the Laniege product I was a little disappointed at first, thinking that this would be my experience with this moisturizer as well. After using the product for over a month, I was really impressed. As you can see from the photo below, the cream is a white cream, and although it states is a gel, it also has a creamy texture to it. I was really impressed at it's hydration properties, my skin felt hydrated the entire day, not greasy, but just smooth and hydrated. They claim that this product provides 24 hour hydration, I can certainly attest that this product definitely delivers on it's claims. Another bonus feature for me, the product didn't sit on the top of my skin, it actually absorbed into my skin making makeup application, flawless. </div>

My review below is all my own thoughts and opinions, I'm not getting paid to do say what I'm saying...yes, I did receive this for free, but heck, I'm going to tell you the honest truth about how I feel about this machine!<br />
<br />
I received this huge box, and it was rather a surprise...I had no clue I was getting a coffee maker...I thought perhaps the K-cups to try out, but not a machine! How impressive was that!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOqzjSghYV0QFgivPB6D0n4IbsWVgpwvonqSpMtTl6DDPQ6HTx_HWGeLSlLjOhftg9lasDJ6zZYxS13C9x3GqHlFnGk82D2uiJ3TWyWkCk_1pgsYio_C8yskQWidim7pCd1FIrxrUDkQ/s1600/Keurig.2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBOqzjSghYV0QFgivPB6D0n4IbsWVgpwvonqSpMtTl6DDPQ6HTx_HWGeLSlLjOhftg9lasDJ6zZYxS13C9x3GqHlFnGk82D2uiJ3TWyWkCk_1pgsYio_C8yskQWidim7pCd1FIrxrUDkQ/s1600/Keurig.2.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
First thing is first....anyone who knows me knows that I'M NOT A MORNING PERSON! Having said this, I rarely have the time to make myself a cup of coffee in the morning before heading out to work, and also, don't always have the time to stop at Tim Horton's with those crazy morning lineups....MY LIFE HAS NOW CHANGED!<br />
<br />
The one thing that I absolutely adore about the Keurig 2.0 machine is the ease of using the machine, the quickness in brewing a cup of coffee in my travel mug in the morning, the no mess cleanup and the variety of K-cups that I can chose from to brew a cup of coffee! Whew, that was a whole bunch of pluses!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyz77OxYSRI9RrRc9W7RbqGBtow_5TmueCfLP_gs0SWO348Ir-rgy5YPI2qZIJS679VxDMVUlKKlB4kwEtqeUzWiMWjKtz-oJDmB475T2rO_d9_IfBxEqE0gOOKaLmZkqmYqiLFZliU5Y/s1600/Keurig.7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyz77OxYSRI9RrRc9W7RbqGBtow_5TmueCfLP_gs0SWO348Ir-rgy5YPI2qZIJS679VxDMVUlKKlB4kwEtqeUzWiMWjKtz-oJDmB475T2rO_d9_IfBxEqE0gOOKaLmZkqmYqiLFZliU5Y/s1600/Keurig.7.jpg" height="165" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
What's different about this machine than the original Keurig is that you can now brew a pot of coffee, up to 4 cups with the K-Carafe cup. This is great, especially for me when I'm alone and want more than just one cup of coffee. But, and there is a BIG BUT with this machine and the one thing that I'm not a fan about is the following:<br />
* K-Carafe cups are EXPENSIVE....you can purchase 8 for $16.99 and they only brew 32 cups of coffee in total - yikes!<br />
* K-Carafe cups are HARD TO FIND, except on the Keurig.ca site.<br />
* The Carafe that comes with this machine is not insulated. It is made of plastic and therefore the coffee does not remain warm in this carafe. It would have been more ideal if Keurig had included an insulated thermal carafe with this machine<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For me, I will not get much use of the Carafe unit that comes with this machine. I prefer to brew a pot of coffee in my Delonghi Coffee maker for a pot, but I love the convenience of brewing a single cup at a time. <br />
<br />
Unique Features of this Machine:<br />
* Water reservoir lights up at night<br />
* Touch Screen<br />
* Special program setting for mocha, hot chocolate, lattes<br />
* Strength control for coffee brew<br />
* Brew 4oz, 8oz or 10oz cup of coffee<br />

OVERALL this machine is lovely. I have been enjoying using this machine. For me personally, the pros outweigh the cons with this machine. Would I recommend this machine to my family and friends, my answer is YES!<br />

<br />
Now that I'm in my mid 40's, YIKES, did I actually put that in print!!!! I figured, I should get SERIOUS about Vitamin C.<br />
<br />
Let's face it Anti-Aging products can be overwhelming to the most knowledgeable person, let alone a regular Joe or Gina like myself. So I decided, why not write a Blog Post on the benefits of Vitamin C, both oral and topical.<br />
<br />
Let us not forget, we can look fabulous on the outside, but if we are a pile of poo on the inside, we just aren't doing ourselves any justice.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>LET'S BEGIN!</b></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>A QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT VITAMIN C DOES:</b></span></div>
Vitamin C protects our bodies from infections and maintains healthy bones and teeth. It helps the body's ability to repair wounds and keeps our immune from bacteria, viruses and infection. It also is necessary for collagen, the main protein in our body that keeps our tissue all connected.<br />
<br />
Vitamin C taken orally helps us heal faster and better. <br />
Vitamin C taken topically (as a beauty product) helps the skin from free radical damage from UV rays of the sun.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>VITAMIN C CAN BE FOUND IN VARIOUS FORMS:</b></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Powder, Capsule / Tablet, Chewable, Liquid</div>
<span style="color: red;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>WHAT DOES VITAMIN C DO?</b></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>BEAUTY RELATED BENEFITS:</b></span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">ANTIOXIDANT</span></b> = Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects our body from free radicals. It protects our skin against the ultraviolet rays of the sun and is found is many skin care products. It also helps with environmental pollution and regular smoking.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE</span></b> - Vitamin C aids with the production of collagen in our bodies. This is what helps with the skin firmness and tone.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">DISCOLOURATION OF THE SKIN</span></b> = Vitamin C helps diminish the discolouration of freckles and age spots to help the skin look younger and smoother.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">SKIN TEXTURE</span></b> = Vitamin C aids with the production of collagen, which provides structure for blood vessels. The tiny blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients that keep our skin healthy. The nutrients containing Vitamin C improve the appearance and texture of our skin.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">HAIR BENEFITS</span></b> = Vitamin C plays an important role in improving the health of our hair growth, by reducing free radicals. Free radicals are naturally formed when our bodies turn food into glucose for energy. These free radicals can damage our hair by making it weak, brittle and thin. By incorporating Vitamin C in our diets, it reduces dry hair and split ends.</li>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">FIGHTS DANDRUFF</span></b> = Vitamin C helps fight the bacteria on the scalp. It can ward off dandruff and help to clean the hair follicles and encourage new hair growth.</li>
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>STOPS HAIR LOSS</b> </span>=Vitamin C is used to reverse Adrenal Gland Fatigue. Which helps with hair loss and encourages new hair growth and help maintain proper hormonal balance.</li>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">THICK HAIR</span></b> = Vitamin C helps with blood circulation and this helps strengthen and repair capillaries, which will encourage stronger, thicker hair growth.</li>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">FIGHTS HAIR DISORDERS</span></b> = Vitamin C is an essential nutrient for damaged hair and can treat various hair disorders that damage the hair follicles, such as alopecia and baldness in men and women.</li>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">PREVENTS GREYING OF HAIR</span></b> = Vitamin C helps retain the natural colour by preventing premature ageing of the hair. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>INTERNAL BODY HEALTH BENEFITS OF VITAMIN C:</b></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">IMMUNE</span></b> = Vitamin C helps fight off infections and diseases, such as the common cold, it acts as an effective antihistamine.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">ANTIOXIDANT</span></b> = Vitamin C is an effective antioxidant for the entire body as a whole and protects against free radicals </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>HEART</b> </span>= Vitamin C helps to lower blood pressure, helps reduce hypertension, helps the dilation of blood vessels and helps prevent heart disease</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">STRESS</span></b> = Vitamin C helps the body deal with stress by reducing the levels of cortisol</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">DIABETES</span></b> = Vitamin C helps regulate sugars in the body</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;"><b>ASTHMA</b> </span>= Vitamin C will lessen the body's production of histamine which contributes to inflammation</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">CANCER</span></b> = Vitamin C's antioxidant properties protect cells from DNA damage and mutation and can protect from certain cancers, such as lung, mouth, throat, colon and stomach.</li>
</ul>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>BEAUTY RELATED VITAMIN C</b></span></div>
<div>
When it comes to using Vitamin C as a form of a beauty product to protect our skin from free radicals and reverse or prevent sun damage there are different forms available to us. Some lotions and creams have a certain amount of Vitamin C already included in their formulas. My favourite is to use a high concentrate of Vitamin C either in powder or liquid forms.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>PHILOSOPHY TURBO BOOSTER - VITAMIN C POWDER</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>By far this is my ultimate favourite.</b></span></div>
<div>
I love the finely milled consistency. I use 1/8tsp and mix it in with my face cream day and/or evening and apply directly to my face. To heighten it's effectiveness, you may wish to also encorporate some Vitamin E into the mix. Vitamin E will also aid in the preventive anti-aging benefits and is also an excellent anti-oxident to add to your regime.</div>

Another alternative to the Turbo Booster is from Skinn Cosmetics. This is also a finely milled powder, the ingredients are slightly different, however, it acts in the same fashion. You add a little of the powder to your existing face cream and apply directly to your face. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I liked this powder, however, I didn't "love it". I am finishing it, as I never like to waste product, but this is a more affordable option. The results are very similar to Philosophy's version. It's truly personal preference.</div>

This product was something that I purchased because of Youtube. I have a LOVE HATE relationship with this. Ultimately, my first reaction to this product was WOW, look at all the product I get for such a fantastic price. Then I used it topically! I WAS NOT HAPPY!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me tell you why?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>TOPICAL USE:</b></span></div>
<div>
1. This product is not finely milled. It has the consistency of sugar granules. This is very difficult to melt/blend with your face creams/lotions. </div>
<div>
2. The product left tiny little residual granules on my face and body, which for me personally was annoying as it interfered with the use of my cosmetics.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>ORAL USE:</b></span></div>
<div>
1. Obviously, this was meant for oral intake and not topical for application on the face. As an oral intake for Vitamin C, to be added in a smoothy, or in juice or water to ensure you are receiving all of it's amazing benefits, THIS WOULD BE IDEAL.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

This powder was and is my least favourite to use as a topical formulation. Since I have so much of it, I plan on mixing it in and taking it orally to reap the benefits of Vitamin C for the INSIDE of my body, hence enhancing the OUTSIDE.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>LIQUID VITAMIN C FORMULAS:</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My experience with the liquid form of Vitamin C is limited. I've mainly concentrated on the powder form. The main reason for this is that Vitamin C in liquid form doesn't last long. The maximum shelf life is about 3 months. Hence, it can be very expensive to purchase and the price point varies depending on the company.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Some liquid forms that are available are as follows:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>SKINCEUTICALS</b></span></div>
<div>
One of the more expensive formulas comes from Skinceuticals. They have a variation of Vitamin C formulas to choose from. The link is below. I find that due to the shelf life being only 3 months, the waste is too much to invest in this product. I believe you can achieve similar results from less expensive versions of the liquid Vitamin C. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
COST: $157 USA = 30ml</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>HOME MADE LIQUID VITAMIN C</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So another alternative is to make your own Vitamin C. It can last from 2 weeks to 1 month depending if you use glycerin in your recipe. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>INGREDIENTS:</b></span></div>
<div>
1/2 tsp Vitamin C Powder (I'm using the C-1000 shown above in this blog)</div>
<div>
1 tablespoon distilled water OR 1 teaspoon distilled water to dissolve and 2 tablespoons vegetable glycerin</div>
<div>
A dark coloured container to store the Vitamin C so it does not oxidize quickly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>INSTRUCTIONS:</b></span></div>
<div>
Dissolve the Vitamin C powder in water</div>
<div>
If using only water and Vitamin C, you are done. This will store for up to 2 weeks on longer in the fridge.</div>
<div>
If using glycerin, dissolve the Vitamin C in the smaller amount of water, then stir in glycerin and store. This version will last a month or longer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>WHEN IS THE LIQUID VITAMIN C NO LONGER GOOD TO USE?</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Vitamin C in the liquid formulation should be a clear colour. Once it starts to show any signs of yellowing, it is oxidising. Oxidisation of liquid Vitamin C reduces the effectiveness and benefits that Vitamin C has. It has been documented that it may be also harmful (I'm not 100% sure of this claim, so do your research).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: red;"><b>IN SUMMARY:</b></span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My favourite formula for topical use of Vitamin C is still powder. I enjoy using the Philosophy brand as it is finely milled and I've seen results. I am always looking for the next bes thing, so if anyone has suggestions, please leave your comments below.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I truly hope this was helpful to all of you!</div>

Enjoy fighting those free radicals!</div>

<b><span style="color: red;">I DON'T WANNA GROW UP - Lift, Firm & Soften Fine Lines</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
This mask is ideal for very dry skin, especially during the winter months or shortly after winter right before Spring. Also a fantastic mask for more mature skin types that are starting to experience the signs of aging, this is the mask I would recommend to use.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is an intensive, multi-action mask that helps to prevent and combat the signs of aging while nourishing your skin. It provides deep hydration and delivers a healthy dose of age-defying ingredients including natural Ylang-Ylang Oil, Argan Oil, Vitamin E., Hydrolyzed Collagen and Elastin to help dimish fine lines and bring out your youthful glow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="color: red;">MY EXPERIENCE</span></b>: My skin felt instantly hydrated. I did notice fine lines were softened. This was such a simple mask to apply, no mess and you could just lay back and enjoy the benefits of all the oils and nutrients offered in the mask. I did not experience any lifting what so ever. But still enjoyed the mask.</div>

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>MY THOUGHTS</b></span><br />
I have tried alot of press on nails in my day. Unfortunately, I'm no so "imPRESSed" with this brand.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>PROS: </b></span><br />
Lots of colours and designs to choose from.<br />
Easy to use.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>CONS:</b></span><br />
Did not fit my nailbeds. They were way too short and my nail tips protruded beneath these press-on nails.<br />
When I applied these to my fingers, the area that should be flushed to my cuticle area, did not lay flat, and therefore left a gap..it would get caught on clothing and moisture would get into the area. It just did not look attractive. Lastly, I'm not a fan of the tacky sticker/glue on the back of these nails....I feel that they are tough on your natural nail and when trying to remove them, if you are not careful, you can remove layers of nail from your natural nails.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>WHO ARE THESE FOR:</b></span><br />
I am sure these nails would be ideal for a tween or young teenager. I feel they are at a manageable length and are ideal for those who have a smaller nailbed. My nailbeds are not super long, so I was surprised at how small these nails are.<br />
<br />
I will be giving these nails to my 14 year old niece who I think will enjoy them and at least they will have some fun with them.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>WOULD I PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT:</b></span><br />
I would not purchase this product, nor would I purchase these as a gift. I don't find the quality really there. <br />

We are conditioned by our stylists that you should never colour your hair with a box colour, or you should never use store shampoo and conditioners because they are so bad for us. Sometimes, I feel it's a BIG CONSPIRACY just to get us to invest in a $30 bottle of shampoo, which promises us the world and most often falls extremely short of our expectations.<br />
<br />
Who are these people that make us believe this? Well, I have to tell you, I've been conditioned to believe that I need to over spend on my hair care, and honestly, all these expensive salon shampoos and conditioners have left me short on change, and not just in the monetary sense, but also in the way of NO RESULTS. My hair, in a nice way of putting it..."looked like caca/shit/merde/crapoola" you get the drift.<br />
<br />
I recently have been fortunate enough to be accepted in a BuzzAgent Campaign for Herbal Essence Naked Line Shampoo, Conditioner and Mousse.<br />

<br />
Although I received these products for free from BuzzAgent to review, my experience with the products and my review are completely my own opinion. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>ABOUT THE PRODUCT AND WHAT THEY ADVERTISE</b></span></div>
<br />
Why are they called "Naked"?<br />
They are FREE from silcones, parabens, and dyes. This product does have Grapefruit and Mossa Mint Oils.<br />
The above line does come in the following formulations: SHINE / MOISTURE / VOLUME<br />
The formula does not strip the hair of it's natural moisture and cleanses the hair leaving it at it's natural state<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>MY EXPERIENCE</b></span></div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">SHAMPOO:</span></b> Left my hair manageable, shiny and I had less tangles after cleansing. I do suffer from alot of tangles, so no shampoo that I've tried has ever not left me with some tangles. The scent has a fresh, mint and citrus fragrance, which was pleasant. However, the Shampoo, after further inspection on the ingredients does have sulfates in it....not sure how "naked" this really is. If you are trying to go completely natural, read the label to ensure you are good with these ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">CONDITIONER:</span></b> Surprisingly, this is the true test for me, I need a good conditioner that will detangle my hair and give it a nice conditioning. This conditioner did eliminate some of my tangles, not completely, I did have to use my conditioning spray "It's a 10", but then again, I have to use that with any product that I've used. However, I liked the conditioner and it did compliment the shampoo and did condition my strands. The conditioner does contain "Dimethicone", which is a type of silcone. Again, I question the "Naked" truth about the label.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">SOUFFLEE / MOUSSE:</span></b> It is a medium consistency, not watery, and it indeed added volume to my hair. It is a little difficult to get out of the container, you really have to press down hard onto the tip to get the product out. I am a little concerned that I may experience issues with getting the product out of the nozzle down the road, however, for the time being, all is good.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">OVERALL CONCLUSION:</span></b><br />
My hair was left with incredible volume which actually lasted for about 3 to 4 days in my hair. I don't wash my hair everyday, typically every 3 days, and my hair still has alot of fullness after the 3 days going onto my 4th day. I love the results that these products have provided my hair, however, the "Naked Truth" about these products, is that they are truly NOT COMPLETELY NAKED. So read the label, decide for yourself if you can live with the ingredients. I honestly am happy with the results, and I can live with few ingredients still in these products.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly for a volume shampoo, it did leave my hair soft, shiny and manageable. Typically, volume hair care lines tend to dry out my hair. Thus far, I'm doing great!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">RECOMMENDATION:</span></b><br />
I would recommend trying this line out. It is an inexpensive line and the results that I have experienced are worth a try. Below are a couple of photos after two different times using this line and how my hair turned out....<br />

<br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01175725446932216078noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2713910812712196912.post-38893706656407872842014-03-22T11:18:00.000-04:002014-03-22T11:18:19.155-04:00WET N WILD MEGALAST LIPSTICKS - REVIEW AND SWATCHES<b><span style="color: red;">The Wet N Wild MegaLast Lipsticks are one of my ultimate favourite lipsticks. There are so many reasons why I love these lipsticks.</span></b> First off, I'm so loving the semi-matte finish is right up my alley. I love that even though these lipsticks are semi-matte, I find them still creamy and non-drying on the lips. I know that some people out there are not fans of a matte formula, however, a lipgloss ontop would help those who aren't the biggest fans of this type of finish.<br />
<br />
There are 26 colours in this formula. I am happy to own 14 of them. I still am on the quest to get all of the shades that are available. You can purchase these at most drugstores in the USA, and just recently, I have discovered that the Canadian Superstores carry Wet n Wild cosmetics and these lipsticks are available in some of the stores. I was super happy. They retail for $3.39, at the Canadian Superstore.<br />
<br />
I've attached a link to a site where they can be purchased for any of you that may be interested.<br />
<b style="color: red;">www.drugstore.com</b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">This is how Wet N Wild describes these lipsticks:</span></b><br />
This 4 hour, longwearing lip colour leaves a semi-matte, cream finish in one stroke. Glides on easily with rich, velvety colour that doesn't cake, feather, or bleed. Made with hydrating skin-care ingredients: Hyaluronic Microspheres provide extraordinary adhesion to lips, an exclusive polymer complex offers cushion-like feel and texture, and natural marine plant extracts Coenzyme Q10 and Vitamins A & E help smooth lips.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>CON TO THIS PRODUCT</b></span><br />
These lipsticks do contain parabens and unfortunately, they are made in China.<br />
<br />
So I'm sure you are wanting to see some swatches as how these colours that I own look on the lips. Below are my shades for you to view. Enjoy the swatches!<br />

If any of you are not familiar with BuzzAgent, it is a website where you sign up and complete a series of surveys. From the surveys, they determine if you qualify for certain campaigns. This is my second thus far and I am happy to participate in the LavAzza Coffee campaign.<br />
<br />
The premise of a campaign is that BuzzAgent will forward you the campaign kit filled with it's goodies for free. You have approximately 2 months to complete activities associated with the campaign. These activities basically are meant for you to review the products and share your thoughts about them on social media, such as facebook, twitter, blog posts, youtube, etc.<br />
<br />
In this campaign, LavAzza and BuzzAgent were super generous. We received 2 full size coffees, Gran Aroma and Gran Selezione, these are 2 of the newest blends from LavAzza. They actually have come out with 4 in total. We received a travel mug, a magnet for our fridge, a game of Italian hand gestures and 7 - $4 coupons to share with family and friends so they too can have these delicious coffees in their lives.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="color: red;">There are 4 Brand New coffee blends from LavAzza....above are images of what they are. </span></b></div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">GRAN AROMA</span></b><br />
This is a medium blend roast coffee with a mild flavour that is smooth and doesn't leave any bitter taste. Surprisingly the grinds are fine and do not drip into the coffee when brewed. It almost reminds me of an espresso ground. This coffee when I tasted it on it's own was fabulous, but when I did a blind taste beside the Gran Selezione, this was surprisingly not my favourite. However, my boyfriend did enjoy this blend much more than the Gran Selezione, so it definitely is based on personal preferences.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>GRAN SELEZIONE</b></span><br />
This is a full bodied, dark roast with chocolate flavour. Well first off, there was no taste of chocolate in my opinion. I have reviewed other peoples comments and they seemed to taste a hint of chocolate, I guess their palettes are much more heightened than mine, as I didn't taste any. I definitely enjoyed this blend much more than the Gran Aroma. It was a richer, more aromatic blend with full body and also left a smooth non bitter taste. The grinds are also very finely milled, again like an espresso coffee. Hands down this was the winner for me!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">PARENTAL UNITS TASTE TEST</span></b><br />
So being that this coffee comes from Italy, who better to try it out and do a blind taste test than the parents who are actually from Italy! A wonderful Sunday pasta lunch at mom's wouldn't be complete without a cup of espresso afterwards! However, this Sunday we made an exception, we brewed both LavAzza blends and did a blind taste test side by side. Images below will let you know who was the winner...HANDS DOWN....3 TO 0!<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER:</span> </b><br />
The claim is that the shampoo and conditioner reconstructs strength and helps repair hair. Protects hair from future damage. The formula contains Phyto-Keratin complex, with plant-based proteins and active fruit concentrate, cupuacu butter with natural lipids.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><b>SHAMPOO RESULTS: </b></span><br />
After using the shampoo, my hair felt shiny, bouncy, full of volume and healthy. I honestly can not believe how impressed I am with the results. I have tried many salon brands and they have always fallen short. It's nice to try out a product that really gives me the results that I love, which is shiny hair with lots of bounce and volume. The only con I had with the shampoo is that it did leave my hair somewhat tangly.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">CONDITIONER RESULTS:</span> </b><br />
The conditioner was a nice thick formula that left my hair smooth and soft and tangle free. What I love about this conditioner is that it detangled my hair, and did not weigh it down.<br />

Although, I do not feel that split end serums get rid of damage...only a good pair of scissors can do that, it did lessen the frizz of the hair and smooth my ends, which I did notice after blowdrying my hair.<br />

This is a great hair mask that leaves my hair extra conditioned. I have fine, wavy hair and it was nice to use a product that did not weigh down my hair.<br />

<span style="color: red;"><b>OVERALL: </b></span><br />
I'm really enjoying all the products that were sent to me through Influenster and L'Oreal Canada/Garnier Canada. I always find products that are either for damage repair or volume and I have to compromise one for another. Surprisingly, these products actually provided me with both volume and shine. I'm talking big, bouncy, shiny, healthy looking hair! I really recommend these products to anyone who is dealing with damaged hair due to styling products, age, colouring and blowdrying.<br />
<br />
Another bonus, you will get salon results with drugstore pricing! Imagine that, affordable and helps with damaged hair!<br />
<br />
The scent of these products have a slight banana/mango scent that is light and not overpowering. A note: I have fine, wavy hair and my personal results were amazing. If you have thicker, course hair, your results may be different than mine.<br />
<br />
Disclaimer: The above are my honest opinions and although the products were sent to me for free to review, I have provided my honest experiences and opinions, as always!<br />

For anyone not familiar with Influenster, it is a FREE website in which you complete several surveys, afterwards, they may qualify you for campaigns to participate in based on your surveys. Campaigns vary. If you are chosen to participate they will send you products to try out and review on social media for FREE!<br />
<br />
Being a beauty guru of sorts, I was super excited to have been chosen to participate in their latest campaign. Influenster and L'Oreal Canada partnered up and sent a Mystery VoxBox, which comprised of a shampoo, conditioner and split end remedy treatment. I have used this product for about a week and thus far the results are fabulous! The formula is for distressed, damaged hair! Oh, and yes, that would scream my hair right now! I suffer from damaged hair due to age, colouring, curling, teasing, and so much more!<br />

<br />
<br />
The product that was sent to us is one of L'Oreal Canada's 25 global beauty brands. We are supposed to guess and what the brand could be. <br />
<br />
MY GUESS:<br />
After using these products, I feel that this could be one of L'Oreal's professional line products. The BIG REVEAL will be in about 1 weeks time, when Influenster will send out the second box with the brand and it's full product line! I can't wait..in the meantime, below is my review on each item I received in my Mystery Vox Box.<br />
<br />
SHAMPOO:<br />
The shampoo is lightly fragranced. It is creamy and lathers very nicely. A little product is required. After shampooing my hair, it rinsed off nicely, however, my hair, being fine does have a tendency to get tangled and this shampoo did still leave my hair tangly, but not as bad as other brands I've tried.<br />
<br />
CONDITIONER:<br />
The conditioner smells slightly like bananas. I love the scent. It is creamy and thick and really leaves your hair silky soft. I loved that it did remove the tangles from my hair and rinsed off nicely.<br />
<br />
SPLIT-ENDS SERUM:<br />
Split ends are every girls nightmare. Have you ever gone to the hairdresser and they say, lets just trim of the split ends, only to have an inch chopped off! Sadly, there isn't any miracle cure for the ever so dreaded split end, but this serum did bind my ends together, leaving a nice shiny finish. I still did experience some frizz, but not nearly as bad as I normally experience.<br />
<br />
OVERALL:<br />
My hair after styling was left shiny, soft, but with huge bounce and volume. I'm so excited to see what the BIG BRAND REVEAL will be.<br />

I should do more masks on a regular basis, but if I do a mask twice a year that is a WOW for me. <br />
<br />
I figured that I would try and improve on my mask routine in 2014, and here is my very first mask of the year. <br />
<br />
I used the Montagne Jeunesse mask that I received in my complimentary Maple Vox Box from Influenster. The type of mask that I received was the Dead Sea mask. Typically this mask is for those who have normal to oily skin and for that ultra deep pore cleanser. Well, I am on the dryer side where the skin goes, but I decided to still give my pores that ultra deep cleaning.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">PACKAGING AND PRODUCT REVIEW</span></b><br />
The packaging is very convenient for travel and comes in a pouch packet. You receive 20grams of product or .7oz. Honestly, the amount of product you receive is good for two applications. <br />
<br />
The product itself was a thick cream consistency and it was a lovely Robin's Egg blue colour. The smell was a fresh clean smell, not offensive.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>HOW TO APPLY:</b></span><br />
1. Squeeze the product out and apply with fingers or brush to a clean face. The instructions state not to use a soap on your skin prior to using, so a mild cleanser is what I used.<br />
2. Apply all over face and neck (see attached photo)<br />
3. Let product dry on face for about 10 to 15 minutes. You will know when it's dry as it hardens on your face<br />
4. Wash product off face with warm water and a wash cloth, follow by your normal face routine.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>CLAIMS:</b></span><br />
The product claims that the Dead Sea Mud draws out impurities and opens blocked pores to leave skin feeling cleansed and soft. MY CLAIM: Yes, it does do this.<br />
<br />
The product is Cruelty Free and is Vegan, and has the Vegetarian Standard of approval. Product is made in the UK.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>PRICE:</b></span><br />
Depending on where you purchase this mask, which is available at Walmart in Canada, it varies. I have seen the mask priced at $2.99<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>OVERALL:</b></span><br />
This mask is a fun and affordable option for pampering yourself. From my experience with the Dead Sea Mask you definitely receive instant results. I personally did not experience any irritation to the product. If you are one with sensitive skin, I recommend doing a patch test, prior to applying all over your face. With regards to long lasting results after using the product, I would say, no. The results last for a day or two. However, with any mask, they recommend using once per week. The best part is that they have a variety to choose from to provide you with choices to suit many different skin concerns or if you just want to pamper yourself. I would recommend this mask and would purchase.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed the review. Please feel free to leave comments below. I love to hear your thoughts if you have used this product.<br />

How I treat my condition - Keratosis Pilaris<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Are you one of the unfortunate 50% of the world's population that suffers from the condition Keratosis Pilaris? Otherwise known as "CHICKEN SKIN"? You are NOT alone! </b></span><br />
<b><span style="background-color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: red;">
WHAT IS THIS CONDITION: </span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">Keratosis pilaris (ker-uh-TOE-sis pih-LAIR-is) is a common skin condition that causes rough patches and small, acne-like bumps, usually on the arms, thighs, cheeks and buttocks. Keratosis pilaris bumps are usually white, sometimes red, and generally don't hurt or itch. Keratosis pilaris can be frustrating because it's difficult to treat. However, keratosis pilaris isn't often serious and usually disappears by age 30, but in my case, IT HAS NOT! In the meantime, prescription medications and self-care measures can improve the appearance of keratosis pilaris. </b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b style="background-color: black;">This condition, often causes people to feel embarrassed. I personally, hate the look of it at the back of my thighs. I always feel very self conscious when wearing shorts or a bathing suit.

<span style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Step #1</span></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><b style="background-color: black;">I recommend to make sure to exfoliate the effected area with a scrub that has some Gylcolic Acid everyday before your shower until the effected area has cleared up or subsided. I would not go more than 2 weeks consecutively. Afterwards, maintain this process to once per week. </b></span></span><br />
<b style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">What worked for me is from DERMAdoctor KP Duty. This is a medicated/chemical scrub that you apply once to twice a week on the effected areas to exfoliate the skin. You can pick this product up at Sephora and it runs at about $52 Canadian.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><b style="background-color: black;">After exfoliating your area with the KP duty from DERMAdoctor, you want to make sure to moisturize your skin area with an rich emollient moisturizer. After you have eliminated the condition or it has greatly improved, you should continue to moisturize the area on a daily basis, both in the morning and/or evening. </b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">My favourite is from L'Occitane en Provence, Ultra Rich Body Cream Rich Sea Butter. Although this product is on the expensive side, it is very thick and hydrating and very effective. You can find this product in L'Occitane's stand alone retail stores, highend department stores, Sephora or online at the L'Occitane website. Retails at $48 Canadian.</span></span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: red; line-height: 22px;"><b>Step #3</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: black; line-height: 22px;"><b>I have recently discovered another product which is a one step process which has proven to show me some incredible results and is extremely effective in only a few days. The product is Bump Stopper-2 Double Strength. I recommend using this product, everyday for up to 2 weeks or until area is clear. Afterwards, you can use only once to twice per week. The directions state to use after shaving. In most cases, effected areas are ones that we do not shave, so I used this cream as a treatment cream only and ignored the "shaving" part. Secondly, when I used this cream, I did not apply moisturizer on top as I did not want to diminish the effectiveness of this cream to the effected areas of my skin. </b></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><span style="line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 22px;">This product's primary use is to treat razor bumps from shaving, however, I tried this on my Chicken Skin area and it really improved the area in about 3 days. The results were amazing. The only issue I have with this product is that you only receive 0.5oz which really doesn't last that long. I was able to use the product for about 3 weeks tops. It claims it is a 30 day supply, but I believe that to be only for small effected areas. For larger areas, you will not be able to stretch the product out for that long. The price ranges from $4.99 - $8 depending on where you purchase it. It is available at Sally's Beauty Supply, Walmart USA and of course directly from their website, which I've linked below. Please note they have 2 types of this cream, I recommend the Double Strength if you have severe razor bumps or the Keratosis Pilaris condition. I have not tried the regular strength, therefore, my recommendations are based on my experience with this strength of the product and I can't comment on the others effectiveness.</span></b></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><b style="background-color: black;">This skin condition is one that can reoccur even after treatment, therefore you must be diligent in your treatment and make sure to keep up with maintaining the area with a weekly exfoliation and intense moisturization regime. I personally have seen a big improvement by using the above products and hope that I've helped any of you out there suffering from the same condition.</b></span></span><br />

<br />
Marc Jacob's recently partnered with Sephora and now has an assortment of cosmetics available to us. I jumped on this band wagon and picked up a few from his line.<br />
<br />
His line carries products such as eyeshadows, mascara, brow gel, foundation, lipstick, lipglosses, blush, eyeliner and so much more.<br />
<br />
What I love about his line is the packaging. He is BANG ON when it comes to the packaging of his beauty line. His attention to detail is incredible.<br />

MY REVIEW:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Packaging is superb. I wish the product would follow suit! I purchased Outspoken which is a beautiful pink / liliac colour. I was disappointed as I thought it would be darker and more pigmented. It is a buildable colour, however, it is best suited for very light to light skin tones. I have medium olive skin and I am paler in the winter months, and the pigmentation payoff was minimal A darker colour may be better. I ordered online without swatching...I feel you better swatch them prior to purchase. Expensive for what you recieve. Tarte and Illimasqua are better! The colour is pretty though...just wish it would be more pigmented. Average at best!</span><br />

MY REVIEW:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Great packaging. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">This eyeliner has a beautiful application. It's creamy, glides on smoothly. The blacquer that I purchased which is pure black is a very deep rich black colour. It stays on the eyes all day long. If you are using this for your waterline, it will rub onto your lower eye. I found that the product will goop into my tear duct. I feel this product is average. It is comparable to UD 24/7 liner. I am not a fan of the non-sharpening feature. I like to have a precise tip on my liner. Worth a try, but I found it to be "average" and comparable to other liners on the market...not unique in any way, aside from the stellar packaging!</span><br />

MY REVIEW:<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #4b4b4b; font-family: Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;">Package is fabulous! I give Marc Jacobs a 10 on his packaging of his cosmetic line. The lipgloss is pretty. I enjoy how opaque the colour is. There is a slight menthol taste to the product and a very faint plumping feeling, not as strong as the Buxom line. I purchased Boom Boom, which is a pretty raspberry/fushia colour. Smooth application, glides on the lips beautifully and has no sticky feeling what so ever. The wear time is about 1 to 1.5 hours maximum. For the price and hype in the beauty community, I feel that there are a lot of other products that compare. It's average, not superb. If you are wanting to try it out, I say go for it, but don't expect to be wow'd...at least I was not!</span><br />

Lately I am reflecting on how old I'm getting. As time passes, a new wrinkle appears, a few more grey hairs come in, something on my body starts to sag! What the heck am I thinking of "celebrating"???? Am I crazy???<br />
<br />
Well, let's look at it from a different angle....as with anything, age brings us wisdom? Yes, I've learnt a few things here and there...time and age may bring us grace? Sometimes, I have been known to be gracious! Age brings us experience....well folks....like the saying goes..."If I knew then what I know now!!!"...but without those experiences, you wouldn't be the person you are TODAY!<br />
<br />
I'm glad to have gone through the trials, tribulation's, successes, sorrows, challenges and triumphs throughout the years. I've met fabulous people through my journey in life and as I look back, I feel blessed!<br />
<br />
I hope that I'm lucky enough to be here for another 40+ years and enjoy all that life has to offer.<br />

If you are one of the people who really don't know who they are, then I think you may be living under a rock! They are famous for being famous and not really doing anything really, but have their lives documented by the paparazzi! What a life! Really!<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm jealous.....I'm not famous (nor do I want to be)...and I'm not RICH, but damn do I WISH I would be!<br />
<br />
This blog is not about the Kardashian's personal lives...but it is about their beauty line - <span style="color: magenta;"><b>KHROMA BEAUTY! </b></span><br />
<br />
This is my review on their Joystick Lipsticks. I have the colour in "Shocking Pink". This seriously gives you a <b><span style="color: magenta;">WOW FACTOR</span></b> to your lips. <br />
<br />

<br />
Let's discuss the <span style="color: magenta;"><b>PACKAGING FIRST</b>.</span> It's in a slim twist up pen package, which in my opinion is extremely convenient for placing in your purse, even those small clutches that us gals like toting around on a night out. At the end of the pen it displays the colour of the lipstick, which is great for when you want to see your colour at a quick glance. The tip is dome shape and makes for easy application on the lips. No need for lip liner with this puppy!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><b>FORMULATION</b>:</span> This is a creamy formula that glides on the lips smoothly and effortlessly. The pigmentation is outstanding. You get that <span style="color: magenta;">POP OF COLOUR</span> with only one application. The formula is a satin to matte finish, however, this does not feel drying on the lips. It definitely is not ultra matte at all!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: black;"><b>STAYING POWER</b>:</span> </span>This li<span style="background-color: black;">p</span>stick will stay on your lips for several hours until you need to reapply.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">SCENT</span></b>: Smells like Vanilla Candy!!! Yum....I crave sweets whenever I open this lipstick up...it smells so scrumptious. If you are not into sweet smelling lip products...you will probably not like this!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">COLOURS AVAILABLE</span></b>: 8 colours are available<br />

<b><span style="color: magenta;">CONCLUSION:</span></b><br />
With any good review you must come to a final conclusion as to what this product means to you...in this case for me! Well, I'm totally loving this product. I plan on purchasing a few more colours because they are truly a fabulous lipstick for a reasonable price. I give this product a 9 out of 10...and the reason that it only gets a 9 and not a 10 is that the Kardashian's need to provide us with more beautiful shades and make them more readily available to everyone.<br />

The Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste is a nice formulation. It is very smooth and clear when brushing. It is not gritty and it isn't a thick paste that fills. It leaves your teeth feeling so clean and fresh, just like you visited the dentist. As far as an improvement with whitening, I did not notice any difference, however, it did leave my teeth glistening.<br />

I really enjoyed the Crest Pro-Health Mouth Wash. It is alcohol free and doesn't burn your mouth. It had a fresh taste that you could actually gargle for 30 seconds. It helps with plaque so if you are like me and are not a big fan of flossing, this really helps get the nasty tastes out of your mouth and leaves your breath fresh for hours. I highly recommend!<br />

Oral B Pro-Health Toothbrush has a nice handle to grip. It's a non-slip grip. The bristles really reach the back of your mouth to reach those hard to get places. I noticed a massaging feeling from this brush. The bristles were smooth and effective but not harsh on the gums. You gotta get this one for sure!</div>

<br />
Many of us wonder what kind of damage we are doing by using deodorants. Of course studies show that our traditional deodorants have harmful chemicals and basically we are placing these products under our arms where we have vital lymph nodes. Not so smart!<br />
<br />
So recently, I received a natural deodorant in my Seasons Box. Which is a monthly Well Being Subscription Box, where they send products on a monthly basis, full size to their subscribers that are all natural, environmentally friendly, etc.<br />
<br />
I was very excited to have received the "Crawford Street Lemon Deodorant Cream" in my recent box. I had heard good things about this product and thought that this would be my chance to finally use a "healthier product" as a deodorant.<br />
<br />
CRAWFORD STREET SKIN CARE<br />
<a href="http://www.crawfordskincare.com/">www.crawfordskincare.com</a><br />
<br />
* Located in Toronto, Ontario - this is so exciting that this company is local and Canadian! yeah!<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">Product Description:</span></strong><br />
This citrus scented cream deodorant is completely natural and it works! It includes over ten essential oils that are deodorising, antibacterial and anti fungal. No aluminium, no parabens, no yellow shirt stains! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Retail:</strong></span> $12.00 for 2 fl. oz. or 60ml<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>Ingredients:</strong></span> Cetearyl alcohol, Sodium Cetearyl sulfate, Cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil, Butyrospermum parkii (Shea butter), Theobro ma cacao (Cocoa butter), Sodium bicarbonate, Cornstarch, Citrus limonum (Lemon) oil and other essential oils.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">HOW TO APPLY:</span></strong> With fingers. You only require a dime size amount for each underarm. Apply in circular motion and cover all the underarm area. Apply to clean dry skin.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>THE REVIEW ON THIS PRODUCT:</strong></span><br />
The cream is firm at the beginning, however, it is very pliable and easily rubs into skin. It has a nice consistency and texture. It smells lemon fresh. When placed under the arm it is not greasy or sticky and does not leave any residue on clothing. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>CON:</strong></span> Unfortunately for me, it caused a really bad irritation under my underarms. They became very discoloured. They were not itchy, however, the underarm area did change in colour to a very dark discolouration. At first I thought that this was the toxins from my regular deodorant coming out, but after 5 weeks of using this product and the discolouration not subsiding, I stopped using it.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">RESULTS AFTER NOT USING PRODUCT:</span><span style="color: red;"> </span></strong>My skin went back to it's normal colour after 4 days. I no longer have the discolouration under my underarms.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: red;">RECOMMENDATION:</span></strong> Use at your own discretion. This product has received fabulous reviews from many other Bloggers and unfortunately for me, it was a bust! <br />

Growing up Italian meant that you didn't buy your fruits and vegetables at Commisso's or No Frills in the summer....that would be ONE OF THE GREATEST ITALIAN SINS! Everyone, if you were a TRUE ITALIAN had or has a vegetable garden, and some fruit trees in their backyards. Keep in mind, you need an apple tree, a pear tree, a cherry tree, and yes a plum tree....I failed at this task...no fruit trees for me!<br />
<br />
Growing up, I envied my english friends....they had inground or above ground pools, ornate swing sets, complete with monkey bars and teeter totters, and some had trampolines. But me, I had the vegetable garden. My leverage, I could offer them a fresh tomato or cucumber to entice them to play in my backyard.<br />
<br />
Alas, we warp speed ahead...46 years later...I now am the proud owner of my own vegetable garden. But with said ownership, comes ALOT OF WORK! Mamma and Pappa didn't really share that part with us...they were out there every night, weeding, watering, tending to the fruit of their labours.....INFORMATION THAT I COULD HAVE USED! Because, like an addictive drug, the Italian Garden, lures you in....the idea of fresh tomatoe sauce, cucumber salad, beans that only come from the seeds imported from Italy 50 years ago....oh, my...how could we relinquish this tradition....WE CAN'T. The Italian Garden calls to you like a street walker calls out to the man walking down the street, like candy calls out to the fat lady, like catnip calls out to the kitty cats, like crack cocaine...the Italian Garden is an addiction that is very hard to resist.<br />
<br />
So now, I find myself needing to repair the exterior barrier wall to the inevitable garden of love. This past weekend, old lumber was pulled out, dirt was dug, and engineering was done! Check below to see how our project "THE ITALIAN GARDEN REPAIR" went.<br />
<br />
First you need to buy fresh railroad ties...lengths depend on your dimensions...luckily my garden is <br />
8'x8'. We built our walls 3 tiers on each side, so we purchased 12 posts in total.<br />
<br />
You will also require 2' rebar to anchor the lumber into the ground and secure it so they don't move.<br />

You are going to drill into each piece two holes, one at each end, the same width as the rebar, perhaps a slightly smaller. Remember to make your holes at least 12" inward from each side to make sure to have enough enforcement.</div>

Then you are going to pound the rebar into the ground about 15 inches deep. Once all pieces are in, you slide each tie over the rebar. If you look at the pic below, you will see the rebar sticking up enough to accommodate the width of 3 pieces of lumber</div>

I hope you enjoyed this blog. A special THANK YOU goes out to my boyfriend, Brian Kita for an amazing job. He is not Italian, he does have the genes of a POLISH man....but he rocked this out like any old Italian would! Now he has the lovely task of toiling the soil! Yeah, that will be his on his May "honey do" list...</div>

<br />
Well, this blog is to help you save those poor eyeshadows from a doomed life in the deep dark shallows of the garbage, as well as save you money on repurchasing the same item.<br />
<br />
This technique is so easy and will totally change your life! It did mine! I have demonstrated in my video how to restore a broken eyeshadow, however the same technique will work on broken blushes and bronzers.<br />
<br />
<strong>WHAT YOU WILL NEED:</strong><br />
<br />
All the broken pieces of your eyeshadow/blush<br />
Rubbing Alcohol - the higher the level of alcohol the quicker the drying time will be<br />
A knife or similar to break down your product<br />
A small bowl<br />
<br />
You can watch my video below to view how this is done, or if you just want to read the instructions, here is what you need to do:<br />
<br />
Make sure to sanitize all your tools prior to using on your product for sanitary reasons. You do not want to get dirt or bacteria into your product.<br />
<br />
1. Put all the broken pieces of your product in a small bowl<br />
2. Take your knife, spoon, or stick and chop all the larger products into small pieces so all the product is similar size. You are going to want to finely mill the product for easy mixing and distribution. This technique works best if all pieces are similar size<br />
3. Take some rubbing alcohol and pour into the product, slowly, you want to add small amounts. You can always add more alcohol as needed. You are trying to achieve a thick, muddy consistency that is pliable<br />
4. Make sure to clean all your pot that you are returning your product into.<br />
5. Pour your mixture back into its original pot or container.<br />
6. Tap the container on the table to level the product.<br />
7. Let dry for about an hour<br />
8. Take a clean cloth or you can use a paper towel and wet it with water or some of the rubbing alcohol.<br />
9. Place on top of the product and press down really hard to stamp the product and make sure all the particles are pressed down securely to ensure it is all solid.<br />
10. Let dry - typically I would wait until the next day to use your product<br />
<br />
It's that easy, and VOILA! you have saved your favourite eyeshadow from the depths of the almighty garbage can!<br />
<br />
I hope this helps you out...check out my video below for a full demonstration!<br />
<br />
Thank you for reading my humble blog!<br />
<br />
Ciao for now!<br />

<br />
UPDATE ON SUBSCRIPTION FEES:<br />
<br />
Due to increased international shipping costs the monthly subscription to Starlooks as gone from $15US to $22US per month starting May 1, 2013. <br />
<br />
The products received:<br />
"Flutter" Lipstick (Bold Item) - The gorgeous, full-coverage, frost lipstick. A true orange at first glance but on the lips it translates to a rusty, golden, bronze-red. Retail: $11<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
"Disarray" Eye Shadow - (Neutral Item). Although this is a dark colour for an eye shadow, navy is a classic colour for spring. Pair this eyeshadow with a neutral pink or biege and it looks amazing on the eye. This eyeshadow is highly pigmented, has just a touch of sparkle. You can create a softer look or a deep smoky eye look. Retail $12<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Lengthening Mascara = (Neutral Item).This mascara is not as dramatic as I personnally like, however it has a nice application. It definitely lengthens the eyelashes, separates them and does not clump. The con to this mascara is that it takes a minimum of 3 coats to accomplish some volume to the lashes. If you are one that likes a more natural eyelash, then this mascara is a nice formulation. I personally would have liked to see it add more volume. The con to this mascara is that it has a strong tar smell to the formulation that is not so nice.<br />

<br />
Surprise item! Starlooks "Vanilla" all natural Lip Sugar. This scrub exfoliates chapped lips. You only need a little amount. You scrub against your lips to remove any dry skin. This leaves the lips smooth, soft and envigorated! I really enjoyed this scrub and would purchase from Starlooks. The taste is incredible! Retail for this size $2.00<br />

Overall I am very happy with this months box. I will continue my subscription for now to see how future boxes are. The cost of the box will definitely determine if I will remain with this subscription or not. I currently am very happy so I don't want to give it up yet!</div>
