InstaNatural Youth Express Eye Serum Review

I have whined about my horrendous, deep wrinkles under my eyes for years. I promise you I've had them since pre-puberty and I have found that nothing has helped ease my obsession of ridding them.
I recently tried out InstaNatural's Youth Express Eye Serum to see if it would help.

InstaNatural's Youth Express Eye Serum has a light gel consistency. It's clear and absorbs almost immediately. I did notice a light fragrance kinda of like a cucumber body spray which I don't mind as it helps refresh my tired eyes in the morning.

Upon application, this eye serum immediately moisturizes the eye area. I have found that after application, the area under my eyes are less puffy. I've never had that result with any eye cream before so I was definitely surprised. I apply after cleansing my skin and the area feels smooth throughout the day.

After trying this out for a while, I did notice a reduction in puffiness under my eyes as well as dark circles.

This eye serum isn't going to break the bank so if you're looking to try out something that will work for your dark circles and puffiness, I would recommend trying InstaNatural's Youth Express Eye Serum.

Dr Song Hyaluronic Acid Serum review

I was very excited to try out Dr Song's Hyaluronic Acid Serum + Vitamin C and I can happily report I was not disappointed.

I have already fallen in love with all of Dr Song Medical products. Not only because of its simple, straight to the point packaging, but because it's the real deal. It's a medical cosmetic laboratory that used to manufacture products for professionals, doctors, and medical facilities. With this expertise, they now have their own label which is made in the USA and FDA compliant.

On to this particular holy grail. Most hyaluronic acids will come in a standard 1 ounce bottle on an average of $25. For that price, you get 4 ounces of naturally sourced hyaluronic acid from Dr Song. It's huge! Even though hyaluronic acid brings moisture to your skin and you only need a little, a huge bottle is handy for me post-chemical peels. And it's also winter so the big size is handy.

I also like that this had vitamin c in it to gently resurface the skin and help pores look better over time. After trying it out for a consistent time, I gladly declare it continues to work on my stubborn skin. With regular chemical peels at home, I can use this a few days after and know that my skin is being moisturized well. I've also noticed that my skin is less oily throughout the day.

I HIGHLY recommend this product for people with dry skin or those who do chemical peels at home. It's definitely worth checking out.

BRI Nutrition Phytoceramides review

 

I've been wanting to try out phytoceramides for a while and recently had the chance to try out BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides supplement.

I've had issues with early hair loss and just dull looking hair in general from stress. Many of my friends use it and have great results but I was hesitant that something would work for me. Since phytoceramides are meant to help your body from the inside out so that it appears better. With regular use along with other healthy habits, it can help your nails and hair look shinier and be stronger, your hands and feet be smoother and your wrinkles and spots appear softer. All of these benefits are things I would not deny if I could have them. With BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides you can actually achieve that. And although it sounds like a far-fetched idea, BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides contain vitamin a, c, d and e which all help with resurfacing and rebuilding your skin and body.

I like that BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides does not contain any artificial ingredients or fillers and that it is made in a Fda-approved facility in the US. Not to forget that each batch is tested for maximum safety. All of the these put me at ease when I was trying it out knowing that I wouldn't be using anything harmful.

A bottle should last for 30 days. I started using it when my skin was on a down period. After 3 days of use, I could see that my face was clearing up and looking softer. I did not notice any changes with my hair, nails or skin at this point.

After a week, I could see that my nails were stronger and were not peeling. I noticed less hair fall but it still didn't feel super strong. My skin has been uncharacteristically dry these last few weeks probably from the weather so I had realized that it was now smoother and softer.

At the end, BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides worked well for me and I was glad to see that after my supply ran out, the effects didn't just stop, so that I had enough time to re-order another bottle. While I was skeptical before about trying any phytoceramides out, I can say it's not a 'scam' if you find one that contains good ingredients. I personally trust BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides not only for their strict health standards in what they put into it and where it's made but because they're confident enough to guarantee it which most would not. Overall, I would say it's worth trying out BRI Nutrition's Phytoceramides and seeing how it'll work for your skin and body issues.

Tell me how your experience goes!

MOREA Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum With Vitamin C + Green Tea review

The past few months had taken a lot out of me, physically and emotionally. I had developed a severe facial infection that doctors were mis-diagnosing left and right. Because of this, I ended up on medication that made the initial infection worse and led to more facial issues. As if I don't already have enough to deal with trying to heal my acne scars and uneven texture/color.

All of this stressed me out and I threw out all of my skin care thinking that it would aggravate my skin further. I was eventually diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and spent many nights researching the causes, solutions, etc. I learned that hyaluronic acid was often found in a lot of the medications that were prescribed for this condition, with many people claiming it helped ease their dermatitis. I had used hyaluronic acid a few years ago and liked it as it would always instantly make my skin feel hydrated so I decided to try it out again.

While looking for gentle products that would help my skin heal, I thankfully came across the MOREA Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum. It comes in an airless pump bottle which helps the serum maintain its potency for longer. I like that it contains 100% pure hyaluronic acid and is paraben and cruelty free. Its formula is also 72% organic and has passed Whole Foods standards. This serum also contains vitamin c and green tea which is gold for your skin as it protects your skin from UV damage and promotes collagen production because of its antioxidant properties.

MOREA Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum is supposed to:

• instantly plump fine lines while reducing the appearance of wrinkles gradually
• add intense moisture to dry skin
• instant glowing complexion
• improve appearance of dark under eye circles
• be safe for all skin types including sensitive skin

I feel that nothing can give my face an instant glow, including makeup but other than that, I did find that this serum did provide these results for me.

The clear serum has a gel consistency that absorbs instantly. It does not irritate my skin upon application and I can feel its effects right away. My skin feels soft and comforted which is so important when dealing with dermatitis.

I apply this serum once a day after I've cleansed my skin. I then use 100% argan oil as my moisturizer. After following this regime, I've noticed that my skin is rosier and brighter which I've never experienced before! The areas affected by the atopic dermatitis is softer and less irritable. That is the biggest difference for me that I am so happy about.

After trying the MOREA Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum, I am glad to say I had a great experience. Not only did it help keep my skin moisturized, which is so important with dermatitis, it was a gentle exfoliator to get rid of old skin without being harsh (which my skin definitely could not handle at that time).
If you're interested in trying MOREA Naturals Hyaluronic Acid Age Delay Serum, you can get it from Amazon.

Jiva Organics Coriander Seeds Review

I've been told I have an odd sense of taste. I would not think so; I favor myself as a rather simplistic foodie. However, one of my indulgences is a pasta dish with turkey and... whole coriander seeds! I know it's odd but I love the combo and it is interesting. I haven't had it in a long time but I was craving it recently and went to work in the kitchen, only to realize I'm out of coriander seeds! Thankfully, I was able to test out Jiva Organics Coriander Seeds at the right time.

These 100% USDA organic coriander seeds come in a resealable bag and contains 3.5 ounces of seeds. These seeds have a subtle spice to it that I am used to with other coriander seeds. I initially thought 3.5 ounces would not be a lot but compared to price per weight but it is. Not to mention that you only need a small amount of seeds to taste the spice.

I've used this for a few weeks and haven't experienced any issue regarding freshness. I also still have most of the bag leftover and plan to reorder when I eventually run out. I will update on how the package fares for the winter.

As far as my dish, these coriander seeds were a great substitution. I also toast this and grind it up for other dishes since most

If you'd like to try out Jiva Organics Coriander Seeds, it is sold exclusively on Amazon.

Holistic Solutions Raspberry Ketones review

I have been in a weight slump for what seems like forever. Yes I've exercised, watched what I've eaten and done everything else to eliminate what I feel uncomfortable with. I'd heard about raspberry ketones frequently but never had a desire to use any supplement, including multi-vitamins.
Raspberry ketones are believed to be a compound in red raspberries that increases adiponectin, which helps regulate your metabolism. After researching it for a long time, I finally gave in when I realized I was reaching a quarter decade of dealing with this issue and tried Holistic Solutions Raspberry Ketones. Their raspberry ketones are GMP Certified and made in USA.

Holistic Solutions Raspberry Ketones are advertised to burn fat while suppressing your appetite which is the ultimate goal in life really. Whenever I took this, I did not feel like eating. My schedule was usually to take this a bit before lunch time (which is really brunch for me as I skip breakfast). Each time, I would not feel like eating at all and I would force myself to eat something. For the rest of the afternoon, I would not snack as I am used to doing throughout the day. I mean I honestly snack more than I do anything in the day... which is horribly embarrassing [insert bashful emoji]! Now, this could be a placebo effect or an actual effect of the ingredients. I believe the ketones were effective at suppressing my appetite though.

This formula contains 250 mg of raspberry ketones in each capsule as well as an additional 400 mg of African mango extract, acai berry, green tea extract, resveratrol, apple cider vinegar and kelp extract per capsule. These are supposed to help the ketones work better.

African mango extract - has been clinically proven to support weight loss, reduce body fat, and significantly improve cholesterol and blood sugar levels without any undesirable side effects

Acai berry - reduces cholesterol aiding in weight loss

Green tea extract - green tea extract has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation in the body, boost metabolism, and help you feel satiated between meals

Resveratrol - promotes a healthy heart and reduces blood sugar levels

Apple Cider Vinegar - appetite suppressant 

Kelp - alkali to balance pH levels to regulate normal weight.

You can either take 1 or 2 capsules a day with or without food or water. As mentioned, I usually take on in the day and depending on my schedule and what I've eaten, I may take another in the evening. I prefer to take this before I eat since it's supposed to suppress my desire to pig out.

While taking this, I have not experienced any ill effect like shaking, rashes, etc. Reaction to a supplement is dependent on the individual. On the other side, I have not seen a major difference in my weight or more importantly to me, my chubby bits. I may not have worked out as much nor used this as long for these raspberry ketones to work completely for me. However I am happy enough with the suppressant aspect of this as I can eat much less and not feel like a reject in life for stuffing my face constantly.

Holistic Solutions Raspberry Ketones are available on Amazon.

Surpahs Dual-S Body Fat Scale review

 

I've had an old manual scale for a longgg time. Almost as long as it's been around, which looks to be from the 80's. I haven't had any major complains from the numbers I've weighed but I've been wanting to get a new scale for a while. I'm glad I came across Surpahs' Dual-S Body Fat Scale.

It had the accuracy and sleekness I was looking for. And although it's white, which I usually avoid just because it seems "BLAH" to me, I think it looked nice and clean.

The Dual-S Body Fat Scale provides a more accurate measurement of your weight, in kilograms or pounds, by tracking your body fat, total body water, muscle mass, bone mass and how many kilo-calories you need to consume each day to keep your body weight. These 'smart' measurements are enabled by Bio Impedance Analysis (BIA) technology which is a more reliable method of measuring body composition under most conditions. However, since BIA is based on your body water balance, the state of hydration can affect the level of accuracy.

Despite the 23 mm thickness, the scale's high tempered glass platform and 4 G-Sensors can handle up to 330 lbs. Measuring at 11 x 9.6 inches the Dual-S Body Fat Scale is also the perfect fit for my feet and bathroom drawer.

Although it uses 4 AAA batteries, this scale relies on sensors to turn on and off so you don't have to worry about wasting batter power. The interface also has indicators for weight overload and low battery power. It can also store 4 different profiles that track each user's measurements.

I didn't realize at first but it's important to have this scale laying on a completely flat surface for it to work. The second time I used this on a 2 thin carpets overlapping each other, I could not get the sensors to work and turn on. I reinserted the batteries thinking there was an issue and finally moved to a tiled area. Only then did the scale detect my weight.

Overall, I like this scale and it's so sleek to have around. The biggest draw to this for me are the additional measurements it provides. I've been putting off getting a body fat calculator and now with this scale, I can rely on this for all relevant measurements to track my weight.

Halloween look preview - Spooky Eyes lenses

Halloween is one of my favorite occasions of the year, I mean seasonal candy for the day and night and candy on sale after, what more can I ask for!?

This year, I decided that I would do a simple, scary dress up for the neighborhood kids that will be stopping by. I received Spooky Eyes' Cobra Eye Contact Lenses and have been testing out a few looks. They look quite realistic and instantly give a creepy look. And I love that these Cobra Eye Lenses can be used for up to 90 days once opened and are FDA Approved!

For the actual day, I plan on wearing these for a couple of hours. But while I'm testing out a few looks now, I usually wear it for 6 hours and it doesn't bother me. These lenses were really comfortable to wear and I didn't have any problems with vision. For my eyes, these cover my irises and blends perfectly so that there isn't an edge of my iris that shows through. I like these lenses but I'm tempted to try a few other crazy lenses.

You can get these lenses and other Halloween/crazy, natural, etc. lenses at Spooky Eyes which offer a large array of lenses with free shipping, which is a major deal breaker for me in online shopping.

Stay tuned for another preview of how I used these lenses for my Halloween look.
