Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique


I'm sure most of you have heard about the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique, unless of course you have been living under a rock!  Heck, I feel like I may be the last person to try them out!  However, I'm sure that there has got to be someone else out there who hasn't tried them yet so if you are out there this review is for you!
What are Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes?  Basically it's a mascara type product that uses fibers to increase lash volume by up to 400%.  Yes, 400%!  However, it's also formulated to enhance and nourish existing lashes so there's that too so that's just a bonus.
My verdict on the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique?  This is an amazing product!  I was a bit skeptical but it really does give you amazingly long and full lashes that last all day.  Crazy cool!  However, practice makes perfect!  Even though I found this product really easy to use it does take practice.  I found that you really need to follow the directions and using a generous amount of the Transplanting Gel is the answer.  The first couple of times I tried the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique I had the tiny little fibers falling off my lashes all day which was a bit annoying.  However, apparently this is a common problem that is easily fixed by using a more generous amount of the Transplanting Gel.  It's also imperative that you apply the Fibers immediately after applying the Transplanting Gel while it's still wet and reapplying the Transplanting Gel after you apply the Fibers to seal them.  The Transplanting Gel is what holds onto the Fibers and seals them in so it's the key step in the application process.
It does take me a few extra minutes to apply the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique and since I am in a rush most morning I tend save the Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes by Younique look for when I am going out or for other special occasions.  However, since it is easy to apply and remove, if you have extra time to spare in the morning and want to rock gorgeous, long and lush lashes I say go for it!  
Super cool product!  With Christmas just around the corner I think this would make the prefect gift!  Especially, if you have someone in your life that share's your love of long and lush lashes.

Just because summer is over doesn't mean you should let those feet hide under socks and boots and not take care of them all winter long!  Keeping your feet soft and smooth is almost effortless with this affordable and easy to use Micro-Pedi Pro Callus Remover by Emjoi.

Fight Back Pack by LINDI SKIN



I had never heard of Lindi Skin skincare products before I was sent this Fight Back Pack and now it has become a company near and dear to me.  
The Lindi Skin brand was created in 2003 as the first complete skincare line designed specifically for the unique needs of people undergoing cancer treatment.  They manufacture and distribute clinically-proven skin care products that soothe and relieve the effects of radiation, chemotherapy, and day-to-day wear resulting from cancer treatments. Their products are intended to help individuals feel better, both physically and emotionally, and gain a greater degree of control over the side effects they experience.  They also combine state-of-the-art technology and the latest medical information with innovative ingredients to formulate superior products for a very special group of people.

They sound amazing, am I right?  I had someone very near and dear to me pass away from Cancer in September and it was only 4 weeks after the initial diagnosis.  It was very heartbreaking and still is.  So, that's why this company means much more to me than just a any typical skincare company.  They produce amazing products for people going through a traumatic and agonizing time in their life.  However, the products are not just for Cancer patients
I was sent the Fight Back Pack by LINDI SKIN to test out which includes sample sizes of their most popular products including: Body Lotion, Body Wash, Citrus Face Serum, Lavender Face Serum, Face Moisturizer, Soothing Balm and Face Wash and they even include a $5 gift card to use towards the purchase of a full size favorite!
Every product was amazing!  From the packaging to the actual products themselves. They not only smell amazing (they are lightly scented with citrus or lavender) they also FEEL amazing on the skin.  The products are all nourishing leaving skin feeling hydrated, soft and silky!  My favorite product is the Soothing Balm, which is formulated for dry, cracked hands and feet.  It's highly emollient lotion is perfect for any intensely dehydrated areas of the skin.  Even though it's a "balm" it's not greasy at all and it's easily absorbed.  I just the love the way my skin feels after using it! 
These products are lovely and so is the company!  I think I have found a new brand to be obsessed with!



Make sure you check out Lindi Skin for you and your loved ones skincare needs!

Vitamin C Serum by Born In Nature



If you already follow my blog then you already know that I am a HUGE Vitamin C Serum fan, believer, obsessor, addict...whatever you want to call it!  I say it all the time and I will say it again...I just think Vitamin C Serum is one skincare product that should be a part of every skincare routine.  When looking for a Vitamin C Serum you should always look for one that uses natural and Organic ingredients like this Vitamin C Serum by Born In Nature.
This Vitamin C Serum by Born In Nature is the perfect serum.  Made with with 98% Natural and 72% Organic ingredients and 20% Vitamin C it makes skin look refreshed and even toned in no time.

Wild Tea by Wild Foods



I love all things Tea but not all Tea is created equal. I mean I have had some bad Tea in my life. But, trying out different kinds of Tea is one of my favorite things to do. 
 I also love it when I discover a new fabulous brand of Tea and this Wild Tea by Wild Foods is definitely a new fav!  Wild Foods is start up located in Austin, Texas that specializes in real food ingredients where they come from, how they are made and how they fuel us for health and performance and it clearly comes across in their Wild Teas.
I tried out three very distinct flavors, Organic Coconut Chai Rooibos, Organic Green Jasmine and Hibiscus Mint and I cannot pick a favorite because they were ALL delicious and they all provided a variety of different health benefits!  


The Coconut Chai Rooibos has great flavor with a blend of ginger, coconut flakes, cloves, safflower, crushed chilis and other organic flavorings.  Wild Food recommends that you drink the Coconut Chai Rooibos an after dinner tea.  It not only helps curb fatigue after a meal but it will also help settle your stomach and aid in digestion.  Additionally it contains cinnamon which has a insulin-curbing effect and helps to reduce the amount of calories that are stored as fat following your meal.


The Organic Green Jasmine is the perfect antioxidant Tea.  It helps improve blood flow, lowers cholesterol, helps reduce heart-related issues and high blood pressure.  For a skincare addict like myself this might a favorite just because this Organic Green Jasmine also helps prevent wrinkles and signs of aging due to the anti-inflammatory activities of the many compounds included.  It contains vitamins A, D, E, C, B, B5, H, K, Carotene, Folate, Manganese and Potassium.


The Hibiscus Mint is the perfect "anytime" Teas since it's caffeine free and it just smells amazing so naturally it tastes pretty amazing as well.  This Tea is another one that is full of antioxidants and it also has hypocholesterolemic and antihypertensive properties.  The antioxidants can help fight off the damage done by free radicals inside your body.  
I actually enjoy drinking this one cold and on ice, it's super refreshing because of the Mint!


It's pretty safe to say that I am officially a Wild Foods fan and can't wait to try more of their products!  Go to wildfoods.co and check out all their products and try out some of their amazing Tea for yourself.  You can also find their Teas over on Amazon...

Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser by Gurin



Oh how I wish I had this Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser by Gurin when I had my braces!  I have always had issues with my gums but since I have been using this Water Flosser I have noticed a vast improvement.  In fact, my teeth and my gums feel and look healthier!  I floss on a regular basis (maybe not as often as I should) but having this Water Flosser I find that I use it even more often, mostly because I have it sitting on my counter in my bathroom so it's a fairly large visual reminder.  The powerful water jet helps remove debris deep between teeth and reduces the risk of bacteria build-up in crevices and below the gum line and is especially great for getting into those hard to reach places, like behind my permanent retainer.  It's a great way to continue proper teeth and gum health in the comfort of your own home.
The Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser by Gurin is easy to use and comes with high quality rechargeable batteries, an easy to fill water tank, quiet motor, tip release button, and it also includes two color coded and interchangeable tips for multiple users.
It is BPA Free and FDA Approved.

Here is another great serum I have been testing out!  I have been testing out a few different ones lately so I have been mostly using this Timeless Skin by Mac & Mable around my eyes and I have been really happy with how it smooths out my fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes.

Comedone Extractor Kit by Complete Skin Solutions



Obviously, as a skincare addict I am slightly obsessed with taking care of my skin.  When I do have an occasional breakout I try my best to follow the golden rule of "Don't Pick".  However, sometimes it's just necessary.  Instead of using my bare hands I like to use a professional extractor like this Comedone Extractor Kit by Complete Skin Solutions.  It's really important to not only wash you hand before using the tools but it's also important to clean the tools themselves.  I like to use a 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.  I also clean the area I am going to be extracting before and after using the 99% Isopropyl Alcohol.  
These tools are easy to use and perfect to remove deep, superficial blackheads and white heads.  This Comedone Extractor Kit by Complete Skin Solutions contains a double loop extractor, cup and extractor and a needle and extractor which is all you need to help keep your skin clear and blemish free.

Electric Compact Dehumidifier by Gurin



I don't think I had ever heard of a Dehumidifier before I was sent this one to test out.  Since I live in a High Desert area we don't have a lot of humidity so that's not a big issue for us.  However,  I found the perfect use for it!  I like to use it after I shampoo carpets and since we have 2 dogs and 2 cats we shampoo our carpets at least once a month.
The Gurin Electric Compact Dehumidifier uses Peltier Technology which makes it light and quiet and you have to check and make sure it's even on, that's how quiet it is.  It perfectly extracts the moisture from the air and stores it in a spill-proof reservoir that is really easy to empty.  It also features an automatic shut off switch to shut the unit off when the water reservoir is full.  I simply place it in the room where we shampooed the carpet and let it sit overnight and by morning my carpets are dry and the extra dampness is gone!  Genius!
