TheMagicLift Wrinkle Filler #themagiclift


Magic lift is a non-invasive cream that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and can even skin tone for a short period of time.
Unlike other creams or serums I have tried, this one is very adherent to patting on the product to the site you want to treat. If you rub it on it can cause flaking of the cream. Allow a few minutes to dry while keeping your face still. If you wear make-up, you are supposed to put your make-up on first, then this. Using to much of this product can cause skin irritation.
When I got this I really thought it was a product that would help skin over time. I did not realize it was a temporary, 8 hour type fix that you wash off at the end of the day. It is light when applying to the skin. I did not like having to wait for this product to dry before moving my face. I did move it once while waiting for it to dry and had to start over. Another thing I did not care for was the product did not last at least 8 hours for me. I do not have the time to stop during the day to reapply and let dry. With that being said, this product works great when I came for some pictures taken of me during a wedding. My face appeared more even and smooth. I am going to give this another try when I go on  our next cruise and have to have a bunch of pictures taken.
My opinion of this product is that it is a good item to use if you need to go somewhere all dressed up to the nines, but not a good idea to wear during your normal daily activities. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0195NXG5S

Limm Exercise Resistance Loop Bands #limmloopbands

In this kit you get 5 resistance bands that are different levels, mesh carrying bag and instructions. The Banda are loop desgined and measure 12" in lenght. Each colored band represents a different resistance level. It goes from yellow being for rehab/senior training, green for beginners, blue for medium average fitness level, red heavy average fitness level to black being for those that fit/active. The instructions show you a few of the more common/basic workouts with the bands. It does provide a link to the website that offers a more complete manual. Here is the thing with the website that I do not care for. I had to register to even get to the additional workouts. I really did not want to register, but I wanted to see what they had to offer.
Once I was signed up and accessed my portal, I was brought right to the resistance loop section. Still not sure how they knew what product I owned since I did not have to do anything else at sign up but my name and email address. The site has 4 sections to choose from. There is a section showing you how to care for the bands. Another sections shows you the exercise while the 3rd section shows you the videos of them. The last section is just the option to print the workout instructions. Within this section they are currently working on a 30 min workout series.
So far my thought on these is that it's a decent item. The bands have held up good and I like that it came with a caring bag. Plus it's been nice on days I do not feel like going to the gym, I can just pull these out and do it at home.

Oops Style Women's Sleeveless Ruffle Neck Chiffon Long Maxi Dress

I received my dress in the in a pink color although it had it listed as red. I personally like the pink color. It is the same color as the dress in the pic. The dress is sleeveless and has a ruffled neck. The dress ties in the back at the neck. The inner dress is made of a stretchy material and comes to just above my knees. The outer part is the chiffon sheer material and comes to just at my ankles. It is a one size fits most. I typically wear a size 10/12 and this fit perfect. The material used for the dress is very lightweight and soft. The dress can be worn with the tie that came with it or without. I personally like it better without the tie. I love how the dress just seems to flow around you. The style is more on the dressy side and I did get it to wear to a wedding. Overall I'm pretty satisfied with it but not sure when I will get to wear it again. http://www.amazon.com/Oops-Style-Sleeveless-Chiffon-Bridesmaid/dp/B019F72G6O?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

BLINK Summer Sarongs style Women's Beach Wear Bikini Cover up


The wrap is made of ice silk. Fits S/M size. It does fit a little snug, but not tight. I ordered this to use on a future cruise but could not wait to try it on. The material is so soft and lightweight which will come in handy with the hot weather. The material is not see through which I like. The sarong stops just above my knees, so the length is perfect. I love the pattern and look. I wish it was a dress you could wear anytime. I did wash it in the washing machine and it came out looking fine. I let mine air dry instead of putting it in the dryer. About 30 minutes of air drying it was dry. I am very happy with this item and cannot wait to wear it on my trip.

MoZArt Cat & Dog Sewing Pattern Kit for kids

With having kids who,love to craft and are currently wanting to learn to sew, I thought this would be a great way to start.
The neat thing about the sewing kit is that it came with everything we needed. It came with the fabrics, thread, two plastic sewing needles and stuffing. Each animal was in its own package in the box so there was no stress about having to find what piece went to what. Once we had the pieces set out, we got into reading the instructions. The instructions are vague. There was just pictures showing what went where and that is it. It was more of a simplistic set of pictures to look at.
The thread that comes with each kit is one long piece, so you have to gage how much you will need for each section you are sewing.
Once the needles were thread, it was time to sew. The material you are given is felt and it had pre-marked spots to show where the sewing needed to occur. That helped the kids out a lot. The needle however is plastic and became very weak after a few stictches. Once they completed the sewing, they stuffed their animals and proudly showed off their work.
Overall it's a decent kit for kids. I feel though the instructions could have been better and a stronger needle. But very easy for kids to do on their own.

Essential Oil Blends for Aromatherapy - Best 6 blend set

I have had nothing but good experiences with RADHA products. I was really excited to get this set of essential oils from them.
The box contains 6 of the best blends. The set includes :

1. Rest and Relax-it is a combination of lavender, marjoram, copaiba basalm, roman chamomile and clary sage. This blend is used to promote relaxation and calmness.

2. Four Thieves-a blend of clove, cinnamon, lemon, rosemary and eucalyptus. It is believed that this blend strengthens and aides the immune system.

3. Breath Easy-blend of eucalyptus, peppermint, tea tree, fir needle, lemon, cardamom and laurel leaf. This blend is great to use to help open congested nasal passages due to colds or allergies.

4. Stress Free-blend of bergamot, patchouli, orange, ylang ylang and grapefruit. Helps reduce stress.

5. Pure Healing-citronella, lemongrass, Rosemary, tea tree and lavender are combined to help create a fragrance that helps against negative energy and purifie the air.

6. Happy Citrus-orange, lemon, mandarin, clementine, tangerine, bergamot and vanilla help promote a positive attitude.
My favorite in these has been the Happy citrus. It has such a summer type scent and is not overwhelming. I just add a few drops to my warmer and enjoy the scent. The breath easy has worked great with congestion our family tends to suffer due to allergies and it to has a pleasent scent to it. It is not overpowering like the scent of Vicks. The other scents are different and I think is going to take some time to get used to. The four thieves to me has a cinnamon scent that compared to other cinnamon scents is not very pleasent smelling. There is something about it that just smells funny. Once again the RADHA company has done a great job with these. Would highly recommend to those that use essential oils.

Armband for iPhone SE 5 5S fits Otterbox Commuter & Defender Case + Armband Extender #iphoneSEarmband

Armband that fits iPhone SE, 5, 5S, 5C that gas an otterbox, lifeproof case and other cases. Firs arms 9-14 inches.
First off this my phone fits great in this case holder. My phone does have an otterbox defender case on it. The clear protective screen on the armband does not affect the interacting with my phone screen. The compartment that holds my phone is designed to zip shut. There is enough room that you can carry cash, debit card or car key in the same compartment as your phone. The armband also came with a Velcro extender that adds 6 more inches which is nice. I can wear the armband with sweatshirts jr jackets. It also allows easy access for my headphones.
This armband has come in handy for me at the gym or when I am doing yard work. The only thing I would change is have an extra slot or compartment to hold cash or cards separate from phone compartment. Great armband to use for those that are active and like to carry their phone with them. I received this item free or at a discounted price in exchange for my honest opinion. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017LBORXQ

HSI Professional Hydrating Hair Mask

HSI Professional smoothing hair mask is designed to work for all hair types. The argan oil helps control frizz and help restore hair and replenish hydration.
I color treat my hair and I am always on the look out for a hair care product to help repair my hair. I have tried several products in the past and may have found 1 or 2 products that work pretty well.
When I got this product to try out, I was not sure what I could expect from it. The instructions say to leave in hair for 5 minutes and then rinse. The first time I used this I left it in for 15 minutes. The mask is not a very thick liquid but not runny either. It's kind of right in the middle for consistency. The fragrance smells like other argan hair treatments I have used and I for one like it smell. After 15 minutes I rinsed it out. While rinsing it out I noticed that my hair did feel smoother. When you rinse this out you do want to make sure your rinse really well. It took about 3-5 minutes of rinsing for me to make sure I did not leave any product behind (if I do my hair looks greasy). I let my hair air dry overnight. The next day my hair looked and felt healthier. My hair did not have as much of a frizz look to it after brushing it. After styling my hair I noticed that my hair was more smooth/slick looking. I have been using this hair mask 2-3 times a week since then. I love how it has restored my hair and how much healthier looking it has become. I would definitely recommend this hair mask to others to try.
