Azure Naturals Ultimate Retinol Anti Wrinkle Serum Review - #azurenaturals
I have very sensitive skin, but I experienced no negative results from this product.
I have been using this for almost a week now so still too early to do any dramatic transformations in my skin.
It takes very little product so I could see this 1 oz bottle lasting a month.
There is a slight stickiness to the product on my skin until it has dried. I also needed a moisturizer over the top of it.
It has a pump on it and it does not pump across the room like some products I have used with this kind of pump dispenser.
You can check out the product on Amazon here as well as other reviews from users who have been using it longer than I have.
The company has also given me a discount promotional code to share with you guys so that you can save 20% off your bottle. Just use coupon code AZURES20 this will give you 20% off, expires June 1st.
Ingredients
Organic Herbal Infusion, Organic Aloe, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid, Witch Hazel, Pentylene Glycol, Phospholipids, Retinol, Polysorbate 20, Potassium Phosphate, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Carrageenan Gum, Organic Jojoba Oil, Triticum Vulgare, Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), Organic Green Tea, Wildcrafted Resina Propoli, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin
If I see any dramatic changes -- I will write an additional blog on this serum!!
Be sure and watch for my post coming soon that will be a giveaway so you can try this product!!!!

Elleda Vitamin C Serum Review #vitamincserum
Here is a link to the product where you can review others reviews on it as well.
I am going to be right up front, I have not gotten to use this one for very long. It took the shipment longer to get to me so I just got it on Saturday for whatever reason. So, I have not even been using this for a week. I started using it on Sunday.
I was wanting to give this one a little more time, because the consistency of it is very thin and runny
as you can see from the above photo it started running down my hand as soon as I put the drop on it.
I don't even know that this is a bad thing. I have used a lot of C serums and they are always thicker (but maybe that is needless products that made it thicker - not sure). I have never used one this runny before. The bad thing about it being so runny is it is tending to make me use more, because I feel like I am not getting it all where it needs to go without it starting to drip down my finger.
The pro's. It feels really nice on the skin. I had no problems with it and even put it on my eyes with no negative results. It is extremely moisturizing. The smell is different. I thought it had a witchhazel/cinnamon smell. Looked at the ingredients and it has witch hazel and cassia in it - so there you go. I wouldn't say it smells bad -- just different.
This makes my face feel very soft. My guess is the bottle will not last quite a month do to the watery nature of it -- however that may be something I am doing incorrectly in the application process and will continue to work on that.
I am only rushing to do the review because I was sent a bottle from Elleda to try in exchange for my opinion and they have contacted me twice now wanting to know my review. I was contacted last night and told they were closing the test by the end of the week so I needed to get this submitted.
I will continue to use this til it is gone. I am interested in finding out how the consistancy will hold up long term and whether there will be any visible results.
I wish I could tell you more at this time, but I really can't -- I will probably update my review down the road.
Pros -- very moisturizing, makes my skin feel smooth, no negative reactions
Cons -- very runny

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum Review #ADELINE
I have never used Hyaluronic Acid products before so I have nothing to compare to.
I am using 3 different products currently in the Adeline line. I absolutely "love" their moisturizer!! Definitely recommend the moisturizer (check out my previous review)!!
My skin is extremely dry and sensitive. My skin soaks up the moisture of the Hyaluronic acid when I put it on a freshly cleansed face right away.
The formulation is clear in color and very light. The pump bottle automatically dispenses the correct amount (shown above)
I did feel a slight tingly burning sensation at the high cheek area each time I have applied it, but it was very brief and didn't last. It wasn't painful, just made me pause afraid that maybe I was getting a reaction. However it didn't last, and I had no breakouts or redness occur.
That is where my "fine lines" are so I thought maybe it was zapping them!! Ha Ha!!!
Anyhow -- it has only been 7 days so I cannot come on here and say "my lines are gone" (that would make a great music video!!), that would be truly amazing and I am sure they would not be able to make this fast enough if that was the case after only a week!!
I do like the way this leaves my skin feeling hydrated.
The bottle is good size 1.7 oz and it takes very little product so I do plan on continuing with it to see how it goes. My guess is it will probably last at least a month! Will update you if my lines disappear!!!
I was graciously given a bottle from the Adeline Beauty company to try in exchange for my opinion and review of their product. I do recommend this product -- even with the tingly, stinging I felt on the high cheekbones.
My skin is very dry and sensitive and usually I cannot use very many products because of that. Too be honest with the name Acid in the title I actually expected more discomfort! Ha Ha!!

Omega-3 Supreme 1400 mg Fish Oil Concentrate 180ct Review -- NO FISH BURPS!!!! #lifefood
http://www.amazon.com/pharmaceutical-omega-3s-fish-burps-absorption-molecular/dp/b00r56ix6a/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=utf8
75% Omega-3s
High Absorption
No Fish Burps
Pharmaceutical grade
molecularly distilled
healthy heart, brain and joint support
2 softgels supply
- Pure Fish Oil concentrate -- 1400 mg
- Total Omega 3 -- 1050 mg
- Eicpsapentaenoic Acid (EPA) -- 644 mg
- Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) -- 336 mg
- Other Omega 3's -- 70 mg
Ok, I am going to start right off in this review and make it clear that I have no idea what the good percentages are or actually what is even needed or required when it comes to Omega 3's
I do know they are an essential much needed nutrient in the body which most people are found to be deficient in.
Between joint support and brain support I know I am in dire need of this nutrient - LOL!!!
I was sent this supplement to try out by Life & Food and they asked for my honest review in return.
One thing I can say -- you take 2 of these tablets a day. They are very easy to take and one thing I noticed the very first time I took this supplement was "no fish burps"
I know Gross -- right??? However, that is the main reason my fish oil tablets usually go back in the cupboard without getting taken is because
#1 the taste of the tablet usually makes them very difficult to get down
#2 You are reminded all day that "YAY!! I took my fish oil supplements today!!! YUCK!!!
This product does not do that -- so that is a BIG PLUS for me!!!!! I know I shouldn't get grossed out so easily but I do -- so this feature appeals to me!!!
Ingredients consist of:
Pure Concentrated Fish Oil (from MSC-certified sustainable USA Wild caught Alaskan Polluck), IP certified natural mixed tocopherols (Natural Vitamin E). Other ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, food glaze, water, enteric coating.
Here are the BIGGIES --
Does NOT contain:
GMO's, gluten, egg, additives, fillers, binders, artificial ingredients, soy, milk, peanut, shellfish, stearates, sulfates, dioxides, or Laurates.
Adeline Anti Aging Moisturizer ~ Review
I have extremely dry sensitive skin as I am sure you all know by now if you read my blog very often at all. I find it difficult to find moisturizers that don't end up irritating my skin!!
Putting this moisturizer on the first time I immediately felt a slight cooling sensation to my skin. The fragrance has a slight refreshing peppermint scent to it and is not overpowering at all.
I experienced no issues (burning, breakouts, redness or blotchy discoloration to my skin that I sometimes get when I have a reaction to moisturizer). I really like this moisturizer. It is very light feeling on the skin and absorbs quickly. I experienced no greasiness or stickiness with this moisturizer.
While I cannot vouch for whether or not it will help with my wrinkles since I have not been using it that long, I do like it for its moisturizing and non-irritating qualities!! I am sure the way it feels on my skin it will be of some benefit in the long run -- just have not used it long enough to experience any long term or dramatic results.
Adeline Beauty sent me this product to give it a try and asked me for my honest opinion of their product.
They are a small family owned and operated business and seem to genuinely care about their customers which I find reassuring when a company stands behind their products!!
Just check out what others have had to say on Amazon!!
Here is a list of ingredients in the moisturizer
Deionized Water, Witch Hazel Extract, Glycerol Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Shea Butter, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, PEG-8, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate VP Copolymer, Ceterayl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, PPG-12 SMDI/Copolymer, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Xanthum Gum, Peppermint Oil, Green Tea Extract, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate.

I ordered almost $100.00 worth of stuff and shipping only came to $6.39 -- so very reasonable!!
Amazon Add On Items (Minimum $25.00 order) -- Pantene Pro V
These are add on items so you have to have a minimum purchase. I usually like to find add on items that are also subscribe and save so I can save the additional 15%, but this one did not have that option.
Add on items do require a minimum of $25.00 purchase even if you have Amazon prime. That is why I mentioned if you had something else you were needing to order anyway
Thay have the Perfecting Shaping Gel - 3 pack for $6.57 (shipping is free). Clip the $6.00 coupon and you will snag all 3 bottles for just $.57 (just $.19 each). Great little items to throw into a gift bag for someone if you do not need all 3!!

Pantene Pro-V® Curly Hair Style Curl Enhancing Spray Hair Gel 5.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
You can only use the $6.00 coupon 1 time so choose which item you need the most.
There are other items available -- these are just by far a really great price if you use these products already!! I don't even think you can snag them with coupons locally this cheap and these are shipped right to your door!!
Here is a link to some more Pantene items -- you will see the little coupon labeling to the right to make sure it is an item that is qualified for the coupon. There are also some $1.50 coupons available on some of the items.
Have fun Cyber shopping!

Even Glow Serum - Antioxidant Skin Treatment with 20% Vitamin C by Valentia Skin Care
Click here to view it on Amazon
I love the way it makes my skin feel. I usually have to put on moisturizer several times per day, but I have not had to use anything besides this the past 5 days. I did get a little exuberant and was using it both in the morning and evening (because I liked the way it felt), until I received an email from the company last night and it stressed to only use it 1 time a day -- oops -- My bad!!!!

Gillette Razor Money maker at Walmart!!
Buy 1 Gillette Good News Disposable Razor 2ct $1.97 each
Use 1 -- $3/1 Gillette Disposable Razor coupon (from the 4/12 Red Plum)
Final Price = FREE + $1.03 money maker!
Make sure to have another item in your order to suck up the overage, or if you do not need anything they will give you change back. That just usually really confuses the cashier so if you do not want to experience the look of confusion on the cashiers face grab something else.
If you have more than 1 of these coupons you could do this scenario
Buy 3 Gillette Good News Disposable Razor 2ct $1.97 each
Use 2 -- $3/1 Gillette Disposable Razor coupon (from the 4/12 Red Plum)
Final Price = FREE + $.09 money maker! Not sure how they will figure the tax on these so the $.09 may go towards taxes.
Use 1 $3/1 Gillette Male Disposable Razor coupon (4/12 RP)
Final Price = FREE + $1.03 money maker!

Dehydrator-sheets Premium Non-stick Teflon Coated Size 14"x14" Fit for All Excalibur Dehydrators
Mom has an Excalibur Dehydrator and she is always bringing it over so that we can use it. There is nothing more frustrating than when the veggies or fruit start to dry and shrivel up and get stuck in the dehydrator trays. She had a few dehydrator sheets but not enough for all of her racks.
I was contacted last week about trying these dehydrator sheets in exchange for an honest review which I was tickled to do.
These are as advertised and work great. They are reusable so will last a long time.
However, I also wanted to mention what I discovered is how many things these are very useful for. I will probably have to purchase more just to be able to have enough for everything that I want to do with them. :)
They have a beautiful washable surface that just wipes clean (or you can toss them in the dishwasher). They are BPA free to use in your cooking (of course since these are made for your dehydrator).
Some of the other uses I found this week for them was
1) Lining my bathroom drawers with them (they can be cut very easily to the size that you need). This makes for quick and easy wipe off whenever you need to wipe the drawers out -- it is a breeze. If you don't get your nail polish lid on tight and you have some spill you will not be messing up the inside of your drawers -- and who knows it might even wipe off of these (don't know yet -- thankfully) -- but even if it doesn't you can just pitch and recut a new liner piece and your drawer is as good as new.
2) When I am making the polymer clay canes I can roll out my clay on these mats and work the polymer and it cleans up very nicely afterwards without messing up my countertops.
3) Works great as a painting palette mat. They protect your work surface and you can also just drop your paint right on the mat and use it as a palette. You will want to make sure any you use for your crafting are marked so they do not get mixed up with any of your cooking or dehydrating mats. I do still need to find a good pen that will "write" on them because my sharpie I don't think is going to stay :)
Here is some info from the seller on Amazon
Get Your Dehydrator Sheets here!!
These high-quality 14"x14" dehydrator sheets are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. They can be cut with scissors to fit any size and make your dehydrating task easier. The sheets are super flexible and perfect for fruit leather, roll-ups, taffies and more. These reusable sheets can be used with your Excalibur dehydrator and also make great liners for your baking pans. Its Teflon coated and BPA free as well.
I have several other things I am anxious to try these out on to see how they work. Who knows I may have another review later on. As mentioned above they can be used for pan liners when baking cookies etc. I have not gotten to try this yet, but several have mentioned on Amazon they have used theirs for this as well and cookies sound good -- so I am anxious to give that a whirl.
So -- my overall opinion on these are they work great not only for what they were created for but several other uses as well -- you get 9 of them and if you think outside the box I am sure you can come up with some awesome uses for them as well!!!!
I want to thank Lucky Star LLC for giving me the opportunity to try out these dehydrator sheets.
