Elleda Vitamin C Serum

 Elleda Vitamin C was sent to me for review and I used it over the course of two weeks according to the directions on the bottle. It comes in a 1oz. dropper bottle which is nice because you can customize the amount of product that is dispensed.  I have been testing a bunch of different serums in the past couple months and this one worked the best for my skin so far. I usually hate anything with Hyaluronic Acid in anything as it has the opposite effect on my skin that it's supposed to have which is helping to hydrate skin. This Vitamin C serum did NOT dry my skin and it made it glow.

The only complaint I have is the scent of the product isn't amazing. It's not off-putting but it's not a pleasant scent that I would pick for a product that is going to be on my face and next to my nose all day long. The serum is thinner than most I have tried, it's almost watery but this also has the benefit of the product not feeling heavy on my skin which goes into the plus category for me. All in all, I would recommend this product as it did what it says it's supposed to and didn't dry my already winter dry skin.

Hello Sailor Personal Lubricant

Hmm, how to go about this delicately? LOL Hello Sailor is a water based lubricant that I received for testing and I have to say I love it. It provides the right amount of slip and is long lasting along without being irritating to all those precious private areas. YAY!! I cannot say enough about how much I like this and other water based lubricants vs oil based lubricants which can be irritating or damage toys. Those things are expensive and we want to keep them in pristine condition for as long as possible. I love that the bottle has a pump that goes all the way to the bottom of the bottle so you can get it down to the last drop and it's HUGE!! (size queen) :) It comes in a 16oz. clear bottle with the sexy little sailor boy on the front of it. Look how cute he is! I know any number of people that would definitely want to touch those washboard abs.

This wonderful lube is for sale on Amazon for $21.95 at the time of this blog post. Buy HERE!!

Company info:

• Hello Sailor Natural Lubricant is a thick luxurious lube which can provide the best relief from any discomfort that women, men or couples experience. It is also more slippery than silicone and petroleum based lubricants.
• Hello Sailor is ideal for toys, as it will not damage their material.
• • Hello Sailor is effortless to clean up, as it rinses off with water and does not require soap to remove.
• • Hello Sailor is colorless and tasteless because we believe that a lubrication should be so non-invasive that you don't even notice it is there.
• • Hello Sailor is petrochemical-free, glycerin-free and paraben-free, as most old style lubricants are predominately made of synthetic chemicals, some with known or suspected safety issues that can cause skin irritants and thrush.

Reese's Spread from Influenster

I was so excited when I got the email saying I had been picked to get a Influenster voxbox featuring Reese's spread. Influenster is a website that sends out products for testing purposes and in the 2 years I've been a memeber, I've got a number of really awesome products from them.

If you'd like to join with my referral link, that would be amazing. Refferal Link

Back to the product, the Reese's spread is a chocolate peanut butter spread similar to Nutella in texture but tastes like a squished up Reese cup. I was a little offput by the texture of the product because it's grainy but it wasn't enough of an issue for me to not eat it. LOL The pic below was my snack for the day.

If you'd like to see some examples of recipes using this spread, here is my Pinterest Board for the Reese's Spread. Click here. I'm slowly adding more pins to this board.

I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

La Deessa 20% Vitamin C Premium Anti-Aging Elixir

I love that this serum doesn't have a scent and the texture is thinner than a general serum which may be why it's called an elixir. Either way it's very silky and soaks into the skin very quickly. I applied over my face and neck after showering. I didn't notice a huge difference but I also don't have a huge amount of lines on my face yet. I want to get a head start on this issue.
before I get them!  A few items that I really appreciate about this company are the Made in the U.S.A. labels and almost all natural ingredients (98%). La Deessa also offers a one year guarantee on all of their products. Score!
