5HTP Mood Enhancer by Chronos Pharma-Review

*Super Premium 5HTP by Chronos Pharma

I take 5HTP off and on to help me sleep and as usual I was not doing very well in the sleep department so I was pretty happy when Chronos Pharma sent me their Super Premium 5HTP to review for them.  If you are not familiar with 5-HTP it's basically a natural substance that increases the production of Serotonin. Serotonin helps regulate the the sleep/wake cycle and it can also help regulate your mood.  In addition, serotonin controls our anxiety and suppresses our appetite by making us feel serene and satisfied.

I take Super Premium 5HTP about 30-45 min. before bed time and it definitely helps me feel more relaxed and content and I am able to fall and stay asleep a lot easier than I usually do.

 If you are having trouble sleeping, feeling a bit depressed or even want some help with appetite control I would give Super Premium 5HTP by Chronos Pharma a try.  I think it's so much better for your body/mind to take natural supplement than a medication, whether it be a prescription or over-the-counter.  Get more info on Super Premium 5HTP by Chronos Pharma at ChronosPharma.com and purchase at Amazon.com.

Anti Aging Eye Cream by Mimi Fontaine-Review

*Anti Aging Eye Cream by Mimi Fontaine

I love a good eye cream & I have been testing out some really good ones lately and this Anti Aging Eye Cream that Mimi Fontaine sent me to review is definitely one of them.  The Anti Aging Eye Cream by Mimi Fontaine contains hydrolyzed collagen, hydrolyzed elastin, licorice root extract, vitamin A & E all of which help with everything from dark circles & puffiness to fine lines & wrinkles.  The consistency of the eye cream is fairly thick but it's easily absorbed leaving the skin soft & hydrated.  I love how it seems to smooth out & fill in the fine lines!

I also love that the Anti Aging Eye Cream by Mimi Fontaine is also Paraben free and they do not test on animals.

Wouldn't you love to have an Anti Aging Eye Cream that nourishes the delicate eye area while minimizing fine lines?  Go to Amazon.com for more information and to purchase the Anti Aging Eye Cream by Mimi Fontaine.

Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum with Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid and 14 Organic Extracts-Review

*Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum

Yumi Beautiful is another brand that I have come to love.  I did a review on their Rose Hip Oil and I am currently testing out their Asteria Anti-Aging Serum and not only do they make great, quality products I also love their packaging, they look & feel expensive and they look really pretty sitting on my bathroom counter!
Yumi Beautiful sent me their Vitamin C Serum several weeks ago and I have been testing it out on mostly my face in my morning & nightly skincare routines.  The Yumi Beautiful Vitamin C Serum is the prefect blend of Vitamin C, Aloe Vera, Hyaluronic Acid and other natural ingredients.  The serum is clear and slighty thiicker than water, it's also very lightweight and absorbs really quickly.  It leaves your skin feeling moisturized and really soft and because it's so lightweight it's perfect to wear under makeup.

Go to YumiBeautiful.com for more info and to check out their other products and you can also purchase on Amazon.com.

Ultra Lift Treatment by Foxbrim-Review

*Ultra Lift Treatment by Foxbrim

Foxbrim is another skin care company that has become one of my favorites and I love it when I get to try out their new products. (You can read some of my other Foxbrim reviews here.)  I have been using their new Ultra Lift Treatment that they sent me for the last several weeks & I have been really happy with the results.

I have been using the Ultra Lift Treatment on my neck & decollete area and I have noticed that the lines on my neck seem less noticeable and the skin tone on my neck & decollete area is more even.  Unfortunately, I have some Melasma on my neck and decollete and because the Ultra Lift Treatment has Panthenol in it which helps exfoliate dead skin cells and to reveal fresh, new skin & helps diminish the look of my Melasma.  The Panthenol also helps plump, moisturize & heal the skin.  The Ultra Lift Treatment by Foxbrim also contains other quality, natural ingredients like Vitamin A, Peptides and Hyaluronic Acid.  The Ultra Lift Treatment is very lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin and I love that little goes a really long way! 

Go to Foxbrim.com to check out some of their other products and go to Amazon.com to purchase the  Ultra Lift Treatment by Foxbrim for yourself.

It couldn't have been more perfect timing to be able to test these out!  With the Cold & Flu season in full force around the office these bad boys were put to good use.

This cocoa taste just like the one mom used to make from scratch!  So yummy :)

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick

Loved this lipstick!  It's super creamy and left my lips feel soft & moisturized.

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lip Liner

Another great product from Rimmel!  This white lip liner helps keep your lipstick from smudging and bleeding for up to 7 hours.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin Curves

My favorite Rimmel product!  I love this mascara.  It coats every last lash and doesn't clump!

Clairol Hair Food

This product was totally new to me and it will be something that I re-purchase when I run out.  This made my hair feel really soft and more manageable.  Loved it!  Plus, it's Paraben & Mineral Oil free.
