 With all of those monthly boxes out there which is the best one to choose?

You get samples, full size products and coupons.  Totally Awesome and worth the money.

So I just received the Fall edition box. 

Its all about skin care. Keeping your skin healthy and happy, soft and glowing making sure you are ready for those cold winter days ahead. 

Heres a mini peak of what came in my Beauty Box.

Stick with me as I tell you a brief description about each product in my box.

Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime

Diamond Color & Radiance

Shampoo & Conditioner 

These are my favorite so far.  They smell amazing and work wonders on your hair.  

This is that Salon type of hair wash you always love. You search over and over for that perfect not to expensive shampoo that will give you that "ahh" and "ooo" feeling over and over.

Well look no further, this is my "Oh Yeah" Shampoo.  I feel like I just left the salon. These are definitely a keeper.

Degree Motionless for Women and Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs.

I'm complete Gun Ho about Degree.  I was sold on this product when it first came out. Works amazingly and keeps you dry. I'm a big person, everyone knows that.  There are sometimes when you just need a little extra protection on some in between places (or rolls however you call it).  This is that perfect product.  Has a fresh clean scent too. 

Now, Sally Hansen did me so wrong, I do not even want to post pictures about how wrong she did me.  Medium... It clearly states Medium or are my eyes not working.  I am usually very pale with sensitive skin.  So this is how this went. I was very very careful when applying this stuff, because I knew if it got on skin I didn't want it on... for sure it would be a different color.  So pull out those gloves of yours and protect your self.   

First step SHAVE and Moisturize your skin then wait a couple of hours BEFORE applying this stuff.  

Then, apply this...like i said before, wear gloves unless you want colored fingers.  Make sure to Apply EVENLY or you will not be a happy camper.  Its very easy to see where its not applied.  So be sure to double and triple check.  Do your Elbows and Knees last because you want to use alot less on those spots than you do your legs and arms.  

Rub, Blend, Spread out the best you can.  Then as it sets....Hope for the best. If not you have to wash it off and do it all over again.  So My first attempt didn't go to well.  Not smooth, very blotchy and some spots were way darker than others and some were ORANGE!! Remember me saying that it say Medium...  So The Light is too light for me and the Medium is too Dark for me.. I need a happy middle color.  So I washed (scrubbed) everything off... and started again, and I added some Light to my Medium.  It worked out in my head.  It was still a very dark tan and I wasn't happy, but at least the second time, I applied it with a blending ball and brush.. so this time i had even coverage. 

There is a trick to this... and no one wants to tell me. 

Nivea Essentials Moisture Lotion and Coconut Nail Art.

Well first things first.  I am a nail biter.  I do not have nails.  So when I get my nails done, I will gladly test them out and up date this when I do. 

I have only the nicest things to say about Nivea.  I prefer this lotion over any other company... (well no that is a lie, My number One favorite lotion is by Jewelry Candle) So this is my next favorite.  I do not like greasy lotions, not one bit. I want soft hands but not greasy hands. So this, when you first look at it... it looks like disappointment in a bottle.  When you put some in your hands... you start to believe you made the wrong choice.. you rub it in let it dry and instantly, you love it. 

Don't Judge a book by its cover.

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water

Quick question?  Wouldn't you think they would give you enough to do your WHOLE Face? I guess not.  I can not give a definite buy or don't buy because there was not enough to judge it. 

Moving along.

EcoTools

The Makeup Brush Cleaning Cloth

Its an expensive baby wipe. 

End of story.

Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant

Clean and Fresh 

Clean Mint Toothpaste

Not sure what to say. It is toothpaste and they all seem the same to me. 

Does it do what its intended for?  Why Yes, its toothpaste.

Does it have an appealing taste? Why Yes, its minty

Minty Fresh Breath. :)  Not gritty like some toothpastes.

There are many reasons why I love a good activated charcoal. Activated charcoal comes in many forms. Capsules, Powder, Liquid and sometimes even in a scrub. The product sent to me is 12oz of Activated Charcoal Powder.  (Side note: Use gloves when using this product, unless you like the look of a coal miner.)  This container comes with a little scoop to make it easier to use.  First I tried it as a teeth whitener.  Unfortunately, over the years and bad habits (Smoking), I don't have many teeth left, So I tortured my friend with this part.  

(After 2 weeks of use)

Teeth Whitening: So the instructions tell you to place a small amount of charcoal powder on a wet, clean toothbrush and brush as you always would.  Then it says rinse well and use it as often as needed.  So here is my opinion here, we did Two tests.  Hum you ABC's as you brush. Try to Avoid your tongue.  (It doesn't taste good) Let it sit for about 45 seconds and THEN rinse. Gives the charcoal time to do its thing.  As you can see, there is a difference.  Do a charcoal brush before you do any whitening product.  They are so bad for your teeth.  

Pore Cleaner & Blackhead Remover: The whole reason why I wanted this product. Every where you look now, there is someone with a product to help with deep cleaning your pores and removing black heads and dead skin.  Here's the difference between those products and this way.  I can not even pronounce half the ingredients in those products.. and you want me to put that on my already sensitive skin.  I think not.  This way.. Two ingredients.  Activated Charcoal and Coconut Oil.  End of story. Its a wrap.  I see people doing it with Non-Toxic Elmers Glue.  While you can do that too, but there is one thing about Charcoal that they don't tell you on the bottles.  Charcoal pulls out all the water from your face. So unless you are drinking at least (4-6) 8 oz glasses of water during the 20-30 mins that you leave this on, I suggest using a product with the charcoal that helps your skin keep its water. Coconut Oil is an all natural aid in a TON of things I do.  ANYWAYS So Add about a tablespoon of coconut oil to something disposable.  Much easier clean up.  Add about a tablespoon maybe a tablespoon and a teaspoon of Activated Charcoal Powder to the cup and a few drops of water. Mix until its completely mixed in together, no bubbles.. a bursting charcoal bubble is no fun. Using a plastic spoon or brush to apply a thin layer of your new paste mask to your whole face.  Let it fully dry, you can try to peel.. sometimes it will sometimes it wont.  It will be ready to come off when the edges start lifting away from your face.  If it doesn't peel, simply wash off with warm water.   Have fun with you new baby's bottom smooth face and check out those pores.  They are to die for.  :)  This product is great for back acne too!!

(WARNING:  This can be addicting, Only use a charcoal mask once a month and more and you will be killing off the good stuff to your face or body)

There are many ways to use this product. Experiment with it.  Each one has different benefits for your well being.  Achieve your Zen. 

They also sell other natural products too.  Check out their website at Zen Principle

Smart Mouth

 

 

12 Hour Fresh Breath!

 

SmartMouth line of products, was established in the mid-1990s, in St. Louis, Missouri. Its founder, Dr. Marvin Cohen, recognized a need for real solutions to a real problem: bad breath. As Chairman and Co-Founder of Triumph Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Cohen has remained committed to the education and resolution of bad breath.  No other product is able to truly provide fresh breath as long, as only SmartMouth works to eliminate and prevent bad breath gases from forming. SmartMouth's revolutionary and patented zinc ion technology was invented by Dr. Israel Kleinberg, Chairman of Oral Biology and Pathology, at the State University of New York, Stony Brook. With this groundbreaking technology, Triumph Pharmaceuticals has worked to educate the world about this truly amazing breakthrough, providing all day fresh breath

 

 

What is bad breath?

 

Bad breath. No matter how much brushing, flossing or swishing we do, it always comes back. From stale breath throughout the day to the dreaded morning breath, everyone suffers from bad breath each day. Because of this, it is only natural that many people are searching for a bad breath cure. Most of these so-called bad breath cures only mask bad breath or provide you with a temporary fix, lasting only 30 to 60 minutes. To get all day fresh breath, you first have to understand the cause of bad breath.

 

 

 

 

What causes bad breath?

The creation of bad breath is a natural and ongoing process in our mouths each day. There are millions of germs in our mouths which break down protein particles that are always present in our saliva. This results in the production of foul smelling sulfur gas. This gas is what we perceive as embarrassing bad breath.

Though the problem is virtually universal (100% of the population has experienced the problem daily in the form of morning breath, and at least 10% suffer from a more serious bad breath problem), it is a social taboo that can interfere with every relationship.

 

 

How to get fresh breath all day long?

 

The only answer to eliminating and preventing bad breath long term is SmartMouth Mouthwash, for clinically proven 12-hour fresh breath. SmartMouth Mouthwash uses a patented zinc-ion technology to eliminate existing bad breath and prevent it from coming back...for at least 12 hours.

 

 

My Hubby and I recently tried Smart Mouth.

 

 

We bought the 12 hour fresh breath activated mouthwash!

 

100% ALCOHOL FREE!! No Burning!

SAFE FOR DIABETICS!

Will not stain teeth, dentures or crowns.

Dentist recommended

Safe for ages 6 and older.

 

So the hubby and I tried it together.  He has serious bad breath, so bad I couldnt face him when he talked and I have slight bad breath.

 

There are two bottles and a little cup.

4 - pumps of one bottle - green

4 - pumps of the other bottle - white

into the cup.

Swish for 30 seconds, then gargle and spit!

After we did a breath check, I was shocked how well it worked.  I mean he openned his mouth wide, I cringed and prayed, he breathed on me, and no smell.. except the minty fresh breathe.  I was amazed.

 

We both use it once in the morning and once at night. Keeps us fresh all day. 

Now we smoke, so you get a minty smoke smell. 

Its meant to cover bad breath, not smoke.

 

But for those with all day bad breath this is definitely for you!

 

We have used it for about a week now, and boy do I wish we started this along time ago.  I cant believe after a week, our breath is fresh and minty, no smell what so ever.  I believe that long term use of Smart Mouth might cure bad breath all together.. I guess we will have to continue to use it to find out.

 

Smart Mouth gets a high five and two thumbs up!!
