Review of New York Biology Eye Gel


New York Biology Eye Gel ($16.95, https://www.amazon.com/Cream-Moisturizer-Circles-Puffiness-Lines/dp/B01KYLZT8C/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1474483694&sr=8-5&keywords=new+york+biology)

There are so many products out there that are specifically for the delicate under-eye area and not to be used elsewhere. The cool thing about this Eye Gel is that not only can it be applied to your eyes, but it can also be used on your whole face as well, making it a nice moisturizer to have. The directions say to dab it around the eyes, and then just let it dry. This gel does dry really quickly, but I have found that if you don't dab it on long enough, it doesn't dry as quickly and can leave a stickiness on the eye area. However, this does soak in nicely on the forehead, and there is no greasy feel left afterwards. You can even wear this Eye Gel twice a day and it does not cause any irritation. I enjoy using this at night, right before bed as a nice overnight mask. I wake up to nice, moisturized skin. In my opinion, this a really nice eye gel to have.

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

New York Biology Lavender Essential Oil



New York Biology Lavender Essential Oil (Kashmir)-100% Pure & Natural ($10.50, https://www.amazon.com/Lavender-Essential-Oil-Kashmir-Linalool/dp/B01IG41ZG4/ref=sr_1_8?m=A3K94VWQ8DVMOE&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1470327291&sr=1-8)

This oil is so versatile, it can be used for your hair, body, face, or home. I used it in my shampoo and conditioner to smooth my hair and tame down the frizz. It worked like a charm. It made my hair super soft! I don't recommend using this oil without the dropper though, it's way too runny and pours out quickly. The smell lingers a long time, but the oil has a nice fragrance to it. I really enjoyed trying out this oil complimentary of @NEWYORKBIOLOGY for testing purposes. Go check them out, they have some really great products!

Lumina Skin Lightening, Illuminating and Soothing Facial Serum


Lumina Skin Lightening, Illuminating and Soothing Facial Serum ($29.00, https://www.amazon.com/Lightening-Illuminating-Serum-Anti-Ageing-Preventing-Luminescence/dp/B00HKX2NUK)

I had a really hard time getting this serum to work for me. Whether I used it on damp skin after cleansing, or dry skin, I just could not get this to rub in completely, it always ended up leaving my face really greasy, which is a bummer because I really wanted this to work for me. As far as I can tell, it did not make any difference in my skin. I had tried another product from this company that I really liked, so I was bummed when I could not get this to work. But just because it did not work for me, does not mean it won't work for you, as every person's skin is different, so you never know.

New York Biology 100% Pure & Natural Tea Tree Essential Oil


New York Biology 100% Pure & Natural Tea Tree Oil ($12.50, https://www.amazon.com/Tree-terpenin-4-ol-Australia-100%25-Natural/dp/B01IG3UGF6/ref=sr_1_11?m=A3K94VWQ8DVMOE&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1470327949&sr=1-11)

You can do so many things with this oil. Use it on acne, to get rid of skin tags, or to get rid of dandruff. It can also be used as an all-purpose cleaner, and it helps with bug bites.

I am currently using it to help clear acne at the moment. I just soak some tissue in the tea tree oil, then dab it on my face wherever I have a blemish. The liquid is really runny, and the smell is really strong and lingers, but it goes away eventually. It also kind of has a cooling sensation, so I guess that's how you know that it's working. I really like how this product was not tested on animals, and that it came in a dark glass bottle, so as to preserve the oil. It also comes with a dropper, making it easier to apply the tea tree oil wherever needed. In my opinion this is a well-made product, and I look forward to exploring how it can be used in the future.

New York Biology 100% Pure & Natural Peppermint Essential Oil



I decided to jump on the essential oil bandwagon, and the first oil I chose to try was New York Biology 100% Pure & Natural Peppermint Essential Oil, ($14.50, https://www.amazon.com/Peppermint-Essential-Mentha-Furan-Natural/dp/B01IG494QC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470332686&sr=8-1&keywords=peppermint+essential+oil)

This oil is very versatile and can be used for many things. 

 -it can be used to make an excellent bug repellent, mosquitos especially hate the smell of peppermint oil

 -it can be used to help to relieve indigestion, just rub 3-5 drops of it over your stomach and sound your navel

 -it can be used to help reduce symptoms associated with heartburn or acid reflux, just a drop into distilled water, or add it to a cup of tea

 -it can be used to help relieve headaches, just rub a drop on your temples, forehead or the back of your neck

I ended up using it as a natural energy pick-me-up. I was getting pretty sleepy in the afternoon, so I dabbed a drop on my nose and the back of my neck. And you know what? It worked! I stopped feeling sleepy, and felt more alert.

In my opinion, this is another quality product from New York Biology. I trust their products. Every time I get a product from them, it is always top quality, and this time was no different.

I received this product free of charge for my honest opinion.

I Max Wrinkle Reducing & Lifting Cream Review


I got this cream because I was curious to see if having EGF in a face cream would make it work any better than the creams that I had already tried in the past that did not have any EGF in them. EGF or epidermal growth factor, is a polypeptide that may help increase collagen production.

The directions say to apply this to cleansed skin and massage it in for 2-3minutes, so I set a timer for two minutes and massage away. I think it really helps to massage your face for at least one minute. I have tried other creams in the past where I did not massage them in at all, I just applied them and let them dry, but with this cream I feel that the massaging really helps it to penetrate more. I have only used this for a little while, but I am starting to see results. In my opinion, this cream really does work. The longer you use it, the better your results will be.

Secure-Tots Magnetic Safety Locks Review


I absolutely love these child safety locks from Secure-Tots! This kit comes with four magnetic locks, that can either be applied with double-sided stick tape or self-tapping screws, and a magnetic key that also has double-sided stick tape so it can be safely stored out of reach when you're not using it. Mine is on my fridge.



The best part is, is that you don't even need to have handles on your doors, in order to use these. And installation is a breeze. You just line up the magnetic lock and key and install them wherever you want to on your cabinet door, then just use the key to lock the cabinets and you're good to go. Everything is concealed and nothing is exposed on the outside, so your little one is not tempted to mess with your cabinets. I definitely recommend these to anyone who is looking for a quick and easy way to child-proof their cabinets. *I received this product free of charge, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.*

OmniGreen Labs Dietary Fiber Supplement Review


The recommended total dietary fiber intake is 25-30 grams a day. And I know that I don't get anywhere near that amount, so I am always on the lookout for a dietary fiber supplement that will help me to reach that goal. It has to be able to dissolve completely, not affecting the taste of whatever beverage I put it in, and it also has to be effective. And that's exactly what OmniGreen Labs fiber powder does. Not only does it dissolve completely, leaving no clumps behind, but it's also very effective at getting things going.    
  
It come with it's own little scoop, making it super convenient to use. Just scoop out one spoonful, let it dissolve, and you're good to go. Best part is, it does not affect the taste of your beverage. I just add it to plain water, and it does not make it taste any different. You can't even tell that I added anything to my water.  

This is such a fast and convenient way to add more fiber to your daily diet. And you can start out small, just using one scoop a day until you get used to it. I did not experience any discomfort while taking this, but if you have a sensitive stomach, you could start out with just a half a scoop a day, working your way up to a full scoop a day. I recommend this fiber supplement, I think it does a nice job at helping you to achieve your daily fiber goals. *I received this product free of charge, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.*

New York Biology Anti Cellulite Massage Oil Review


I love it when I don't have to put much effort into getting desired results from using a product. And I also love it when a product actually works, and works really fast. And this product was no exception. I had only used this massage oil once, when I could see that already it was delivering results. I just massaged this into my damp skin and then went to bed. The next day, my skin was super soft. This product is amazing! And I absolutely love the smell of this oil. I only wish my shampoo and conditioner smelled the way this oil does, it smells so good! I will definitely continue to use this massage oil, as I am loving the results I am seeing! Not only does it soften skin nicely, but I am also starting to see an improvement in the texture of my skin. This one's a definite keeper!  *I received this product for free, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.*

Review of Valentia Natural Eternal Youth Exfoliating Scrub



A facial scrub like no other, these are the words that I would use to describe this product. Upon opening this, I was shocked to see that it didn't look like so many other ordinary facial scrubs that I had tried in the past, but it actually had a consistency of jelly. And it smelled devine! I was so excited to dive right in and start using this scrub asap! The directions say to use a small dollop. But I've found you only need to use a dimes-worth. The dollop ended up being too much for me. A little goes a long way this scrub, which is nice because then it will last a very long time! I have tried using this scrub both with water and without, and I've found that with water works the best. The first time I used this with water, there was a little bit of a refreshing stinging, but it did not last long, and it did not hurt. The second time I used this with water, there was no stinging, and my face felt really smooth afterwards.

I ended up liking this exfoliating scrub a lot. My favorite thing about it was that it smelled so good and made my skin so soft! Also, I love that it was such a unique scrub! I will definitely continue to use this weekly! And I highly recommend this scrub! Thank you, Valentia for allowing me to try out such an awesome product! *I received this product free of charge, in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.*

Review of InstaNatural Dual Phase Mattifying Toner



I have used other toners in the past, but this one is the most unique one of all. For starters, you have to shake this up before you use it. Then, instead of applying it with a cotton ball, you just use your hands and pat dry and you're good to go.   


I ended up really liking this toner a lot. It did what it claimed to do, and that is, make my face shine-free. I did find that it did sting my face a little, which I found unusual. But it was not unbearable.  
I liked how this toner dried so quickly, and after it did, there was no residue left behind, which I was expecting because of the way this looked in the bottle. I was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend this toner, I liked it that much.

Review of InstaNatural Glycolic Facial Cleanser


I don't know about anti-aging, but I can tell you that this cleanser works nicely at helping you get rid of acne. I had only used this cleanser twice when I noticed that it had made my acne disappear. You only have to use a small amount, because a little goes a long way.
  
This cleanser is a little runny, but it does a nice job. I've found that if you leave it on a little too long, it starts to sting your skin. It's not unbearable though. I guess that's how you can tell it's working.
 
I really liked this cleanser. I feel like it has done a good job at helping my skin. I don't use it on a regular basis as it can be drying for my skin, but this is definitely my go-to cleanser for acne. I will continue to use this, and I highly recommend it.

Review of New York Biology Utralash Serum

                                             
This here that I have in my hands is an amazing product. See, I have been searching for a long time now for ways to be able to grow out my eyebrows. For some reason, I have very short, sparse brows. They just never completely grew in all the way. And I don't like filling them with an eyebrow pencil because I think it makes them look fake on me. Other women can get away with it, but I cannot.

              
So, imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon this treasure. Something that will actually   help me with my brow problem? Yes! I am all for it. And the best part is, is that it's not tested on animals and it can be used on both your lashes and brows. How cool is that? Not only does this beauty help your existing eyebrows fill in and grow longer, but it also helps brows to appear where there were none before.
Now I have only used this for a little while, but I can already see some growth. So I will definitely continue to use this product. I totally give this five stars! It worked for me.                     https://www.amazon.com/Eyelash-Growth-Serum-3-5ml-Dermatologist/dp/B01GS9PKJW/ref=cm_rdp_product
