Sunless Tanning Mist - Product Review

Sunless Tanning Mist - Product Review

Hey everyone! Well, it's been a long while since I have gotten to do a full blog review for anything- but here I am! I've got several small product blips on Facebook and Instagram, but this is the first one since Covid jumped into our lives. 

This product is something many people use throughout the year, but with winter nipping at our heals and the beaches and local pools being limited - we need a bit of sun however we can get it! 

This Sunless Tanning Mist from Pureauty Naturals is available at Walmart. It boasts about being easy to apply, and fast drying...and claims to be a 'natural tone enhancer'. These things sound lovely, but...how real is this fake tan?? So, I tried it and talked my daughter into trying it too. 

First thing I noticed is the spray nozzle. A fine mist is very essential for me, I want this to be the most simple process ever. A few years back I would use a tanning spray only to have it running down my legs and dripping all over the floor, leaving large dark spots on my skin because the spray nozzle had not been high enough quality to give a fine mist. This nozzle IS in fact, a fine mist nozzle. Yay!

So, we tried it. I did my right leg and my daughter did her left leg...just to be different. Heh. The product comes out in a very fine mist, and the directions state simply how to use it - spray about 12 inches from skin, allow to dry. I liked the smell, although it is a bit strong. The product took about 10-15 minutes to dry. 

 

Above you can see the results after the first application. We allowed it to 'develop' for 3 hours. Since it didn't really change our skin by much...we applied it again (as the directions suggested). We did a second application the next day....

The above pictures are after 2 application on day two, and 3 hours after it dried. 

Overall, this product does exactly what it promises. The color/darkness will vary based on your skin tone (as you can see in our pictures), and the number of times you apply. I was very happy with the results. Best of all - no need to use my hands to rub the product around to prevent streaks!! 

My tip...make sure you apply a thin, even layer each time. You can always do another application, but adding too much product will make it build up on your skin and drip (just like spray paint would).

I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest review.

Product Review: Essential Oil Diffuser Locket Bracelet

Product Review: Essential Oil Locket Bracelet

Amazon Link: HERE

Review Video: HERE

Once again...we have an essential oil related item, because essential oils are awesome. This essential oil bracelet is sold on Amazon from Shopping Story. 

For this review I received the Lovely Tree design in Rose Gold. The bracelet does come in other colors and designs (Cute Heart and Sunflower designs; both in Rose Gold are also available on Amazon).  

   

Included in the gift box is the bracelet and eight different colored circular felt pads. You can see them in the various pictures I took on this page or in the video; colors are Orange, Blue, Red, Purple, Pink, Black, White and Green. 

Use of this bracelet is very simple, unscrew the cover (the tree cut-out) add the felt pad (circle cut felt pieces) and replace the cover. See the above picture!

Add one or two drops of essential oil or fragrance oil to one of the felt pads for all day fragrance. I recommend using a small amount at first, until you can gauge how much you need. If too much oil is used it may leak out and stain clothing or other items. You can use a different scent for each pad, and change them as you like. 

Of course...you CAN wear it without any felt pads...it's very pretty on its own!

Here's the unboxing/show-off video I made, showing the bracelet in use:

This is a great gift idea, especially for women who can't pick just one perfume -- or for a woman who can't use perfume for allergy reasons.

Product Review: Collagen Mask from iBeautyLabs - GRAPE!!

Product Review: iBeautyLabs Collagen Mask in Grape

Grape Mask Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCHPHHZ

(I chose grape because I love purple, other variety links will be at the bottom of this post) 

This collagen mask helps rejuvenate and repair skin, simply by wearing it for about 30 minutes.  Directions state it is best to wear this lying down, to prevent the mask from sliding off your face. 

When you first open the package, be careful - there is a liquid that may spill out, it can be added back onto the mask (or applied to your skin). The mask itself is a jelly like film, that reminds me of a cross between fruit leather and gelatin. You simply pull it off the plastic, and put it on your face - smoothing it down with your fingertips to adhere it in place.

This mask smells fantastic. Its soft and won't damage your skin, although I do recommend lying down while wearing it.  Here's a short video of me wearing this mask!

Product Review: Vitamin C Serum by La Beatue Pure

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Product Review: Vitamin C Serum by La Beatue Pure

• Dr. Oz and leading plastic surgeons endorse Vitamin C for anti-aging, anti-wrinkles, and for taking decades off your face.

• Safer than a chemical peel and cheaper than a facelift. Vitamin C can give similar results.

• Applying vitamin C to the skin is up to 20 times more effective than taking it orally.

• Highest concentration of Vitamin C available at approximately 20%. If we added more the product would be runny and not absorb as well.

• No parabens. No chemicals. No preservatives. No Formalin. No Formaldehyde. No Phthalates. No Petro-chemicals No GMO. No Triclosan. No Fragrance. No Colors. Not tested on animals. No wrinkles. No worries.

 (from the Amazon listing found here). 

Review: 

I applied this liquid (colorless, with a hint of some kinda of fragrance that smells really good) twice a day for about 7 days. The liquid absorbs fairly fast, and makes my skin feel 'stiff' for a few minutes, and then it's fine. I didn't actually notice a difference as far as improvements to my skin --but, to be fair: I only used this for 7 days, and that's not long enough!

A very small amount, maybe three drops, was needed for my entire face. So, this one bottle will last a very long time. 

 I had no negative effects at all from this product, and it did not dry my skin at all.

Sargento Natural Cheese Snacks

Sargento® Natural Cheese Snacks

So, a few weeks back I received a Sargento® Cheese Snack box. ...Ohhhh pretty box, right? What's in it!?!

oooohhhhh!!! And a closer look ---

Yay!!! So, with my coupons I bought two bags of the Colby-Jack Cheese Snack.

I admit, they are more expensive than other brands, but the price is totally worth it. I can taste right away the higher quality ingredients, and the more 'natural' flavor. Overall: Great product!

Product Review: Gevalia Signature Blend

Product Review: Gevalia Signature Blend Coffee 

Perhaps you've seen the commercials on TV with this handsome fella -

He's pretty cute...even if he holds his coffee cup like my grandmother. 

The sample in the mail came from Walmart.com, not Gevalia. It's a single serve cup, or a K-cup for the Keurig® K-Cup® brewer.

 I do not own one of those fancy single cup brewers, so I simply made a single cup of coffee in a regular coffee brewer. 

Empty the contents of the little cup into the filter, add one up of water...and brew. Works just the same. 

The coffee smelled so good! When it was done brewing, I added my cream and sugar (as I always do)...and the final product was rather yummy. 

I don't normally go for specialty coffees, as I am not very picky.I don't like paying a ton of money for coffee...I drink my Foldger's and move on. But, if that handsome blonde Swedish guy tells me to drink this stuff...I'm ok with that, too. As long as I have a coupon. 

Quaker Review - Oatmeal Squares Cereal & Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

 

Quaker Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies     &    Quaker Oatmeal Squares Cereal

First up, the cookies. They taste good, the peanut flavor is not over powering at all. I don't really taste much oatmeal, although I notice that it is there, and the cookies are kinda dry. 

 *note* The package does say "crispy cookies"...so that may account for the dryness. 

The cereal...Oatmeal Squares. These are similar to a shredded wheat type cereal, but these are more dense. They soak up the milk really well, though! There is a hint of brown sugar, which adds just a tiny touch of sweetness. It really is just a HINT, as this cereal has very little flavor over the oatmeal. 

They are good, if you like shredded wheat type cereals, but are rather plain.  

Product Review: School Zone Alphabet Flash Cards

Product Review : School Zone  Alphabet Flash Cards

Flash cards are a helpful tool for kids, I used them with all 3 of my kids. They were fun for the kids to play with, and helped them remember certain things, such as letters, numbers and colors. 

So, I got to review these alphabet flash cards from Educational Toys Planet. They are actually really nice cards! Have a look --

The flash cards come with a parent card, that also has games on the back; and the 3 'cheat sheet' cards that show all of the cards and their corresponding letters. 

  

The pictures are nice, colorful and bright -- will grab the attention of any child.

The back of the cards show the letter, and the word. 

The front picture side is glossy, while the back letter/word side is matte. 

These cards are fairly thick, and sturdy-- so they will hold up well for the little hands that will want to throw them about. 

You can buy these Alphabet Flash Cards and other Alphabet learning toys at Educational Toys Planet , among other great toys for all ages. 

They are also having a Toyriffic Giveaway at their Facebook page!!!
