Insta Natural Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask Review

I had fun trying out a new mask for insta naturals. It comes in a big 16 oz jar. You can use it on your face and body. You only need a thin layer, so a little bit goes a long way. It is also 100% natural, which has been the trick to healing my skin lately.

Pretty isn't it?

This mask can be used for aging signs, dullness and acne.

The mask dries as other masks do. And you can't talk or smile very well.

After using the mask and rinsing it off in the shower in a circular motion. My skin felt softer and looked brighter. There is no real scent and worked wile so I will be using this once a week to help with my skin. Overall, it worked well and is a great value. I'm telling you, this thing is BIG!!

Sano Vitamin C Serum and Vitamin C Eye Cream Review

I have been trying out Sano Vitamin C serum and eye cream for a month. They are both working well. The Vitamin C serum is not sticky, but isn't super runny either. The serum is in a dropper like bottle and dispenses the perfect amount for the face and neck. The serum is clear and dries fast to move on with your beauty routine.

The Sano Vitamin C eye Cream is a jelly like conmstistancy. It smells like carrots, not too strongly though. The order disappears immediately. It also dries quickly. It last kept my eye area moisturized without irritation.


Both have been working nicely for me. And to get bothe for one price is a great value! ~Gina

I did see these in store at target so ladies, run to buy one before there all gone.

The makeup in the tins are the same, but there is a different boy on each one. So you get to have one of the boys faces in your very own makeup collection! The following is in each L.E. tin. Each tin is also a little bit different in design.

These Are the swatches of every color in the Makeup set. There is no over swiping of the product and no primer. While they don't look to impressive, in person they are. The eyeshadows have a top layering of metallic, but still comes thru in the eyeshadow. Markwins, the makers of Wet and Wild are behind One Direction Makeup Line.

Idina Menzel Holiday Wishes Album Review

Now, we all know that Idina Menzel is Elsa. When I saw Frozen in the movie theater, as soon as Elsa started too sing I said, "Is that? No! It is! It's Elphaba!" But to me Idina is so much more to me than that one great wonderful character. Idina has come into my house thru Maureen in Rent and Elphaba from Wicked. Her voice can pierce your very heart. While I've never been able to see Idina personally live, but I have enjoyed her music thru the years. When I was in Target and saw an ad for her Holiday album on their tv screen I was intrigued.

 Her holiday album didn't disappoint by singing all the Holiday Classics. My favorites are; Baby It's Cold Outside with Michale Buble. She reaches in for those magical Elsa powers for Have yourself A Merry Little Christmas. There are a couple of songs that I enjoyed, that I've never heard before. What are you doing Chrismas Eve? December Prayer, and River.

This album would be a great hostess gift to give, so they can use it for the rest of the holiday season! This album can be for anyone, not just a fan of musicals. It is traditional Christmas music.

Mary J. Blige TheLondonSessions Review

I can personally say Mary J Blige is one of my favorite artists. I remember buying What's the 411? and kept playing that CD over and over again. I was in love from the first note. Mary over the years has tried many different styles, but has always had her soul that she carries in each and everyone of her songs.

 I was excited to hear that this album is coming out. She has collaborated with other UK performers. The artist are, Disclosure, Eg White, Emile Sandé, Jimmy Napes, Naughty Boy, SAM ROMANS and Sam Smith. The sound of this album has different types of songs, but in the end is collective. I've played the albums many times already  The album will be released December 2 on Capitol Records.

Some of my favs on this album are  Worth My Time a sad song about making a relationship work. Also, Not Loving You, a song about loving your self first. If you're a Mary J. Bilge fan, you will not be disappointed. And if you haven't heard anything from her recently, this is a great album to try out.

Track Listing
1. Therapy
2. Doubt
3. Not Loving You
4. When You're Gone
5. Right Now
6. My Loving
7.Long Hard Look
8. Whole Damn Year

Old Factory Candle Review and Giveaway

I was excited to try out a new candle brand! Old factory Candle makes a nice variety of candles. I like that they are small so you can try different ones, or use them throughout your house for a blend of scents. You can order them already gift wrapped as shown here.

This is the package when opened.

I love the simple packaging it has, because I feel you can give it to anyone and it would fit anyones home decor.

I chose the winter wonderland collection.

Hot Cocoa reminds me of those old scratch and sniff stickers we had when we were kids ummm. Roasted chestnut smell surprisingly a little pine scented, but not over done, it smells nice. First snow smell, well fresh and a touch of pine.

When you burn the candles it gives off a nice scent to the area it's in. It's not too overwhelming.

They look great with my fall decor!

Old Factory Candle is giving one of my readers a chance to win a set for yourself enter below. There are many scent options to choose from.

New Born Baby
Coffee Shop
Fall Harvest
Fresh & Clean

Number One Nutrition Probiotic Review

I'm not a huge Vitamin or medicine taker, but I do love probiotics. Once a doctor recommend probiotics to my children when they weren't feeling well, I was interested. Once I found the benefits of probiotics I never looked back. I'm glad I have had a chance to try Number One NutritionProbiotic. It worked for my stomach when I wasn't feeling good. I now am trying to take it more regularly,  to improve overall stomach health.

The value for Number One Nutirtion Probiotic is great. You get double for the same price you would get anywhere else. If your into probiotics, I recommend this one. Or if you haven't tried any probiotics, Number One Nutrition Probiotics is  a step in the right direction.

Morea Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Serum With Vitamin C and Green Tea Review

Now that I've gotten into Vitamin C serums, I'm on the hunt down for the absolute perfect one for me. Vitamin C serum has worked really well on my skin. Morea Naturals Vitamin C serum is different than others that I have tried. I'm glad to see that it is in the type of bottle recommended by physicians.
No sunlight or air is getting into the product.

Morea Natural Serum is a clear jell that melts into the skin. Not leaving any typs of residue or stickiness. It works well, and I;ve been using this serum more often than the other 

I have tried. Once again, I have oily to combination skin, and it seems to be happy.

Foxbrim Vitamin C Lotion Review

Since I'm on a Vitamin C kick, I thought I would give this Vitamin C Lotion a try. It is different from a Vitamin C serum. Foxbrims Vitamin C lotion can be used for the face and/or body.

When I read the bottle I was reluctant to try it on my face. So I first tried it on my body. It is a little bit thinner than regular lotion, but not watery. It moisturized my body very well. So I decided to try it out on my face  as night cream for dryness. It was nice night cream, but to heavy for the day for my skin. My skin is Oily to combination. Since the bottle is too small for regular lotion I would use it as hand lotion. I have kept it in the bathroom just for that reason. It is slowly improving the look of my dry hands.
