Will's General Green Coffee Bean Extract Information & Review!

So I'm usually pretty picky about supplements, and don't really love to review them because I'm paranoid about side effects of medications and whatnot, but I recently jumped at the chance to review this one, because I'd heard such great things about it! I'm glad I did too!

If anyone is trying to lose any weight, I highly highly recommend you try out Will's General Green Coffee Bean Extract for yourself as well! Here's a photo of the product for your reference:

According to recent research and Dr. Oz, green coffee beans have a TON of great health benefits!! Not only do they aid in weight loss by boosting your metabolism and suppressing your appetite, but they also can help with blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and diabetes! 

Green coffee beans, unlike regular roasted beans for your morning cup of coffee, still contain a substance called Chlorogenic Acid, which is what many believe is why green coffee beans are better for you and make you lose more weight than just drinking regular coffee every day. It reduces the amount of glucose your body can absorb, and also acts as a powerful antioxidant, which for people like me who get sick all the time, is AWESOME! 

In my first week of taking this supplement, I lost 3 lbs without even trying. I didn't exercise, change my diet, or do anything out of the ordinary to lose weight. In my opinion, this is AWESOME!!! You simply take two of the supplements every day and you're done! Since they're coffee, they have caffeine in them as well. I'm a caffeine addict, so this is double great for me. Not only do they aid in weight loss, they give lazy people like me the energy to actually exercise and become more active so that I am able to lose even MORE weight. 

Mind you, I'm not a Doctor or anything, but I've never really taken anything that worked so quickly and so well to make me lose weight aside from actual diet pills prescribed from the doctor, so I think this is great! It's a great addition to my goal of switching to doing things the natural way, and I feel better about myself already! I can't wait to see what else this supplement does for me!!!

Until later,

Bare Faced Dead Sea Mud Mask Review!!

I have one more review to bring you tonight before I put up the laptop to watch a movie!
I recently got the chance to test out a Dead Sea Mud mask from a company called Barefaced. As you know, I really really LOVE mud masks and masks in general so I was super stoked to get the chance to review this!

Here's my thoughts.

First of all, I want to comment on the packaging for this mask. It's definitely a generous sized tub, and I love the simple design of their logo. It's totally adorable.
As for the mask itself I really like it. It works really well, and when its dry it makes your skin feel super tight. It is a little bit hard to remove, so I suggest not using too much, and definitely don't get it in your eyebrows or near your hair!!! It left my skin feeling baby soft after I used it too, which is awesome.
The only things I didn't like about it were that the smell is kind of odd to me. It is an all natural product, so I know they can smell weird, but it kind of smelled like tea mixed with mud to me. I also didn't like that it has kind of a gritty texture to it, although that could also be the all natural thing. I prefer my masks to be nice and smooth, so they don't over exfoliate me when I'm taking them off.
That aside, I still really like this product, and will definitely continue use..

Here's a fun picture with it on!

Ageless Derma Natural Camofleur Concealer Review!!

Who's ready to read a review of the best concealer I've literally EVER used?!!?!!? I've been super excited to bring this review to you guys for some time now, because this product is literally THAT amazing. It seriously covers up every SINGLE imperfection on my face and is absolutely perfect! I'm so excited that Tomoson and Ageless Derma gave me the chance to test out this product!!

Not only is this an excellent product overall, but it's also good for your skin! Believe it or not this concealer is actually part of their mineral makeup line and contains vitamins A, E, and apple extracts! I've definitely never heard of a makeup that had apple extract in it, but I think it's pretty neat!

I've pretty much replaced my other concealers with this since I received it, and really like how well it works. It matches my skintone perfectly, and covers every imperfection without being overly cakey or greasy It also stays on fairly well throughout the day, even without a setting powder or face primer!

Here's some really terrible before and after pictures!! :)

Before. As you can see, I look wretched. You can see all of my acne as well as my yucky dark circles and my dark spot under my eye.

Here's an after picture of what my terribly broken out face looks like with this concealer on! Basically all my blemishes are covered up, and you can't really see any of the redness. Mind you, my face was really really broken out when I did this, so it was extremely difficult to cover them up. What I really like is that you don't have to use like a monstrous amount of product to make it work; just a normal amount. Even my dark spot isn't really visible anymore, and it's usually really really hard to cover!!

If you'd like to find out more about Ageless Derma's concealer you can visit them HERE!!

It's a seriously great product you guys! I'd love to try out more of their line!! Especially their mineral foundation to go with this concealer!! :)

2 Majestic Bombay Triple Review!

Last review I think I'm posting for the evening is for some products I received from 2 Majestic Bombay.
They provide some really awesome beauty/grooming tools and I got the chance to try out three of them.
Let's start with:

The first thing I received was these AWESOME PINK tweezers from Tweezit. I have like a million pairs of tweezers, but that's okay because I lose them constantly. These came in a nice little carry pouch, and work really well. They feel like professional grade tweezers, but have a regular person price. You can buy them on Amazon HERE. They're seriously really great and awesome at precision when I'm doing my brows. They're matte for a nonslip grip and have a LIFETIME Guarantee!!

Up next:

Cuticle Pusher/Thing to clean underneath your nails. I'm always in need of a good nail tool, since I do my nails so frequently, and anything to get me away from my cuticle trimmer, is good for me. Melissa can tell you allll about my cuticle trimmer addition. It's bad. Anyway, this nifty little tool is really great for cleaning under acrylics. I don't know about real nails but since the cleaner part is so long, its super easy. It's a little rough on the cuticles, but I'm a cuticle BEAST and hate them so that's fine with me. This is another really well made product and its completely stainless steel and very sturdy. You can get it on Amazon HERE.

AND last but not least MY FAVORITE!

Blackhead extractor/PIMPLE DEMOLISHER!!!! I am absolutely head over heels in love with this little thing. It makes popping pimples and getting rid of those nasty hard to reach blackheads a breeze. It doesn't make your skin tear or scar up like when you do it with your hands and again, is a very sturdy, professional grade stainless steel product. I'm in love with it. I almost want zits so I can attack them with it. :) You can get this bad boy on Amazon HERE.

Have you tried any of these products before?? If so, I'd love to hear your experiences. Or any tips for this blackhead/whitehead remover would be nice!

A closer look

Brooklyn Bites: Poppyseed Pretzels, Cheese Cashews, and Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

       I liked this snack alright. I don't really like pretzels but left it on my try it list because I'm a cashew and pumpkin seed freak. The cashews and pumpkin seeds are delicious. Ryan said the pretzels are too!

Pear Tatin: Pear, Raspberry infused cranberries, Yogurt covered sunflower seeds, and almonds

       This one was SUPER great. Not too sweet, not too bland. I love the little yogurt sunflower seeds!

Black Pepper Pistachios: Roasted Pistachios with black pepper

       I'm also a pistachio freak so this was perfect for me to get. I could seriously eat all of these at once. 

Wholegrain Banana Caramel Dippers: Caramel Sauce with Wholemeal Banana Shortbread dippers

      These are my new favorite thing ever. Once I opened them they smelled soooo good... I kinda ate them all. I LOVE caramel, and these are SO GOOD!

Overall, I'm pretty impressed with my first Graze box, and if I have enough money left over after my beauty boxes, I'll definitely stay subscribed.

Instanatural Moroccan Rose Water Review!

NEXT UP: Instanatural's Moroccan Rose Water.
I specifically requested to review this because I'd never used or heard of anything like it! I LOVE IT! I've seriously even got my husband using it.

This product is a GREAT toner. I like it better than your traditional toner with all the chemicals in it because it doesn't burn my skin or leave it all red. It also has a nice, fresh rosey scent to it. It gets all the dirt and crud out of your face without leaving behind anything harsh which is great for someone like me who regularly has to try out new products. 

This, like all of Instanatural's products is free of any chemicals, dyes, or artificial fragrances. It's suitable for all skin types too! I use it by applying it to my face with a cotton ball and essentially getting all the gunk off. :) 

If you'd like to find out more about this product, visit them HERE!

This is probably my favorite out of everything I've reviewed for them so far.

Instanatural Deep Cleansing Facial Oil Review!

Tonight I bring you a review of my new favorite oil cleanser!! It's from Instanatural and it is seriously amazing!! :) I know I probably say that about everything I review from them.. but they're a really really great brand! I actually have a few reviews from Instanatural to bring to you this evening, but I'm going to separate them this time for the sake of organization.

This oil is super gentle and removes every single bit of makeup. It leaves your skin feeling super soft and refreshed without feeling overly oily. One thing I did notice is that at first it kind of broke me out a little bit, but once I got past that, it left me completely acne and blackhead free.
I'm really glad they added this to their line too, because I already use them for pretty much everything. The bottle is pretty big too which is another bonus.
For those of you who haven't tried oil cleansing yet, it's pretty easy. The way I do it, is I use about four pumps into my dry hands and rub it into my face in circular motions. Then once I feel like its nice and in there and all my eyeliner is gone, I wash it off. BOOM done. I usually follow with some soft of serum and moisturizer too.
One MAJOR benefit of an oil cleanse vs. regular soaps is that they don't disturb the pH balance of your face. Leaving everything as it's supposed to be naturally.
This Cleansing oil has a TON of different oils in it too such as:
+ Jojoba Oil
+ Olive Oil
+ Lavendar Essential Oil
+ Pink Grapefruit Essential Oil
+ Tamanu Oil
+ Hemp Oil
+ Sea Buckthorn Oil
+ Geranium Essential Oil

Coastal Scents Revealed Palette 2 Review and Swatches!

Tonight I am going to catch up on some posts that I've been meaning to do OUTSIDE of my Tomoson posts! :) Last week I finally decided to go ahead and use up some of my Birchbox points and one of the things I bought was the Coastal  Scents Revealed 2 Palette! I received a sample of four of the colors awhile back and absolutely fell in love. There's a color in there that reminds me of my favorite Urban Decay shadow ever, so I was pretty much instantly sold!!

For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about or what Birchbox is, it's a monthly subscription program where you receive higher end samples to try out and review for points. Every 10 points equals a dollar, and they add up! They also have the best customer service  out of anyone program I've ever contacted, and if they screw up, they pay you in points. It's rare, but it happens. If you're interested in learning more about Birchbox, you can look through my site for my review of my monthly boxes or visit their website HERE! You can also sign up there by using my referral link, which would be awfully sweet of you.

Anyway, on to what I purchased! Here's some pictures I took for reference!

Overall, I am THRILLED with this palette and will definitely be getting the original Revealed palette ASAP. This one has a mix of matte and shimmers, with little to no fall out. In my experience, they go on smooth and buttery, not chalky at all. They're also highly highly pigmented and blend beautifully. On to swatches!

Here's the top row, from left to right. I love all of them. They're all perfect for every season and nice and neutral, but I like that version 2 has more pink tones. I'm really into the whole cut crease thing right now so these are basically great for that, and your regular highlight colors.

Here's the bottom row from left to right. I'm really into the shimmery brown ones, since when I'm not doing a cut crease that's basically all I use. I also like the matte mauvey colors alot, and the black is great because a little goes a looong way!

Let's not forget the brushes!! If you're going to get either Coastal Scents Revealed Palette, definitely get the one with the brushes because they are AMAZING. I'm probably going to get a set of their brushes now just because they're so affordable and literally work as well as my MAC brushes. LOVE THEM!

AND last but not least here is the makeup look I spent entirely too long making for this post. I used a bunch of colors from the palette & don't really remember which ones though... my bad! :)

I never wear brown eyeliner or a nude lip, but I felt it was appropriate. If you have any questions about any of the other products I used, feel free to ask! Or maybe if my nails hold up for the post I'll just tell you. :)

One notable fact, I have a ton of acne lately, and thanks to Tomoson I found a brand new AMAZING concealer that is going to be reviewed very, very soon on here.

I used Elf's Studio Primer & Sealer as my eyeshadow base which is my new LOVE.

It makes the shadow stay on forever and perfectly matches my skintone! I love it!

This isn't the greatest photo because I look all grumpy, but It shows all the makeup. I don't normally wear all this makeup, but mostly it's alot of bronzer (Hoola & Too Faced) and blush. :) I think the eyeshadow look is a perfect transition into fall makeup, which is my favorite.

Final thoughts, I will be buying every single one of these Revealed Palettes that ever exist. I love this one and as soon as I get 200 more Birchbox points it will be mine mine mine. So again, if you want to help CLICK HERE for a referral then you can earn points to get awesome stuff like the revealed 2 palette for free too!

BUT that's not all I got with my 500 points. More on that later :)

Paradise Coconut Oil Review!

Hi everyone!! Tonight I'm bringing you a review of my NEW FAVORITE thing in the world!!! Coconut oil!! This stuff can literally be used for everything you can imagine, and I was lucky enough via Tomoson, and Theravita Paradise Coconut Oil to get a chance to try their out to review for you guys!!!

Here's a photo for your reference:

As you can probably tell from the packaging, this is a HUGE jar of coconut oil!! It's also top of the line, premium grade, 100% PURE coconut oil that can be used for everything from your skin, nails, hair, eating, and even smoothies!!! I chose to test this out on my cuticles, skin, and hair, because I feel weird about already having dipped my hands into to the product and then putting it in my mouth,

When you first scoop out some of the oil, it firm to the touch, but it instantly melts in your fingers like butter. When I used it as a cuticle oil, I simply applied it to my cuticles and it instantly left them feeling moisturized and refreshed!! 

On my skin, I actually mixed it together with my raw shea butter and tea tree oil and made my own moisturizer for my dry spots on my hands, feet, elbows, and knees. Again, it left them feeling amazing!! This stuff work GREAT as a moisturizer!!

On my hair, I used it as a deep conditioner that I basically slathered all over my hair and scalp, then left it on overnight. After I washed it out my hair felt SO ridiculously soft and wonderful. I will definitely be using this as a regular hair treatment. 

Again, there are SO many ways you can use Pure coconut oil, and I'm looking forward to trying out even more things I can do with it!!

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?? If so, post it in the comments!!

If you'd like to find out more about this amazing product from Theravita, CLICK HERE to visit them on Amazon.com. You can purchase it for only $19.95 right now and if you have Amazon prime you get free shipping!

Hope to hear some tips from you soon!!
