Bellesential Hair Cutting Tools

How neat would it be if you could learn how to cut hair, right in your home? With this kit, it's possible. I always want to go to the salon to get my ends trimmed, but don't want to pay them $15 to just take off an inch or less all the way around. This kit gives you the tools you need to give yourself or someone else just a trim or a full haircut!

This kit comes with two different level hair clips, that you place onto the hair and pull down to the amount of hair you desire to cut OFF. The clips have teeth inside them to grip the hair as you slide it
down and that you can make it level by the bubble indicator.

Once you have made sure that the cut will be straight and level, you can use one of the two, HIGH QUALITY scissors included to make the cut. Careful, because these suckers are sharp!! At this low price, I would have expected much lesser quality, so I am pleasantly surprised.

Overall, this is a great kit for the affordable price. You can check them out at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015TAWAB2 and get a kit of your own.  Also, check out this Youtube Review for a closer look at this kit. #Bellesentials #haircuttool

HSI Professionals Hair Straightener

Ya'll! I have found the HOLY GRAIL of hair straighteners! No more highly expensive straighteners like Chi that kill out after a few months of high use. This straightener by HSI Professionals is the BOMB.com. The company was generous enough to include a small sample of Argan Oil, which smells amazing, and a small bottle of Heat Protector in the package!







This whole kit came with the straightener, the oils, a 1 year warranty card, heat glove and satin storage bag. The quality of this product is pretty top notch. I love the sleek look and feel of the 1 inch straightener that kicks out the straightening power of a 3 inch! I have long thick curly hair and this thing slicked down my hair almost completely first swipe! You can check out their website to get this straightener and other HSI Professionals products at

Here is my YouTube product review of this straightener in action!

Bumble Road Bath Bombs

Let me just start off by saying, I love bath bombs. I make and sell my own, but how can you ever improve if you don't know what your competition's product is like, right? So, with me reviewing this company's product, I did my best not to be biased. I looked at it from the stand point of someone who has never used a bath bomb before. Personally, I have never used a bath bomb that I had not made. Most people start out with at least using the products before they decided to start making, perfecting and selling something, but I never did. So with that being said, here we go!

I got this product for a deep discount to try and review. I was super stoked because, like mentioned above, I had never used anyone else's bath bombs before other than my own. I have Prime, so I should have received them two days later, but there was a delay with shipping and took 5 days. When the mail woman finally dropped them off, I could not believe that I could smell these bombs thru the bubble pack shipping envelope!! 

I get them inside and like always, get to ripping this package open. oh my dear Jesus. The scent was so strong, it literally gave me a headache the second I opened the package. I chalk this up to the sweltering heatwave going on in Alabama, and just let it air out a bit. After 12 hours of airing out, the scent was still super powerful and it wasn't a really great smell to me. It was very detergent-y and chemical smell. It might have just been the mix of all 4 of the bombs, but it was super intense. 

Let's talk about the packaging. This set came with 4 large bombs, individually wrapped and placed in a very nice and sturdy plastic tube. All the instructions and proper labeling was easy to read and comprehend. Although the company is located in Pennsylvania, their product states it's made in China. Not sure I like that about this. Moving along...

Demo time! I unwrapped the "Really Rose" bomb, which was pink with real rose bubs on the top and scented very strongly with rose. Once dropped into the water, the scent mellowed; thank god. It did sink, but it gave off great colors and a little bit of foaming. The water turned a vibrant pink and it really smelled nice. I was nervous about getting into this bath because of the initial overwhelming detergent smell and I didn't know how it was going to effect my lady bits since I have such sensitive skin. In the name of the reviewing Gods and this blog, I got in. 

It was relaxing and Jojoba oil made my skin really soft. The smell of Rose was left on my skin after getting out and drying off. I like that about bath bombs, because if it didn't do that, what was the purpose, right? Overall, I was glad that I got to try something new, other than my own creations. I would recommend this product because for the size of the bombs and overall ingredients, $26 for 4 is pretty great, especially if you really like the strong scents. My husband tried the Orange Icicle bomb, but it didn't have that much of a strong Orange smell. So it might be a hit and miss, but Rose was really nice.

iBeauty Labs Collagen Anti-Aging Face Mask

Ya'll, I don't really even have the words to explain this mask, but if I had to pick a few it would be weird, slimy and free.

I got this mask free from iBeautyLabs to review and it's an anti-aging collagen face mask.

There was plenty of fluid in the package to make it reusable if you saved some of it for another use, but this mask was super over sized, wouldn't really stick to my face and I had to lay down for the 20 mins required to wear it. It kept sliding off my face even then. Although it was slimy and cold it was very hydrating once I took it off. It says on the pack that you see results in 25 mins, but since I don't have wrinkles all I saw was the hydrating effects.

Magic Gel Eye Soothing Mask

So, normally I wait at least a few days and a few uses on each product that I review, just so that I have a good idea and feeling about what I am writing. In this case, 1. It's an eye mask; nothing too astonishing there, and 2. You can use it hot or cold.

Like usual, my package came in yesterday, I open it up as soon as I get in the door, like always. I get the package open, mind you I have never officially had a gel pack eye mask, I have always just used either a hot or cold rag. I put this thing on my face, you know, just to make sure it fits and all. I may or may not have pretended I was blind for a second and scared my dogs. Shame on me, but that's what happened.

After that little bit of madness and chaos, I stuck one pack in the freezer, and put some water on to boil for the hot testing. By the time my water was boiling, the one in the freezer was almost completely solid so I took it out and hung it up by the "S" hanger provided in the packaging. I let my second gel pack soak in the hot water for 5 minutes because I didn't want it to burn my face off potentially.

Now, all the conditions are right, the moon and earth are aligned in a way that potentially I am not going to scar myself for life over some ridiculously hot gel pack on my face, but hey, I could follow it up with a really cold one after? Maybe it was designed this way, but none-the-less I move forward with this testing.

I decided to do the hot first, just in case something did go wrong, I could spend the day with the cold one on my face. The cloth mask part surprising was a great barrier from the heat and made it just right. I sighed with relief that I didn't have to go to the hospital or admit that I often make poor life choices. I laid there for the 10 minutes in which the instructions tell you to lay there. I almost fell asleep from the warm and (as described) soothing effects.

Now on to the cold! I almost wasn't ready for this.. did I mention that I put it back in the refrigerator while I was doing this, to keep the gel fluid but not rock hard. Well, I did...so in goes the cold pack. Again, the cloth barrier made it bearable to keep on the eyes and actually was soothing for my eyes in which have been straining the last few day. As I laid there for my allotted 10 minutes, I thought about all the things that I could use this for; Headaches, Sinus Pressure, Black Eye (lord don't let me get one of those), and the list could go on, Bee Sting to the face because that's how we roll around here. Seriously, the bee and wasp situation is a problem.

Alas, my 10 minutes of relaxation came to end and I have to say it was really great. I felt refreshed, soothed and kinda sleepy. I think that if you or anyone you know suffer from headaches due to eye strain or seasonal allergies, are prone to accidents or anything dealing with the head, this would be great. Also, the gel can be used as just an ice pack or heat pack to sooth other parts of your body.

In conclusion, I love this pack. I am glad that I can finally say I officially have one and will use it proudly. As usual, I did get this product for a discount to review, but all opinions are my own.You can get yours Here

Nature's Gate Wholistic Beauty Products

This company was super generous with the samples that they sent and all are organic and vegan products. I was sent eye creams, cleansing gels, cleansing milks, shampoo & conditioners, lotions, body wash, liquid soaps and even toothpaste. 

Cleansing Milk & Moisturizer:
This had a really great smell and had a nice amount of product inside the packet. Once I used it, it left my skin feeling clean and smooth. I have oily skin, so it did not feel greasy or left a residue. The moisturizer was really nice smelling as well. It left my skin feeling soft and silky. The next morning, I looked very refreshed and no dark circles, which was great!

Cleansing Gel & Oil Free Moisturizer:
This was similar to the cleansing milk, except it was more solid in look in feel being a gel. It reminded me of more of an astringent, but smelled nice. The moisturizer was nice, but dried very quickly and did not leave my skin feeling as soft as the first. it also smelled very nice and left my skin looking hydrated. Again, these packets have multiple uses and I received two of each kind pictured. 

Night Cream & Eye Cream:
This was really nice. I used the night cream liberally and it absorbed very quickly and didn't leave my skin feeling tight or stretchy. I used the eye cream in the mornings after washing my face and it left my skin very soft throughout the day. Very nice skin care products, and a plus is they are all natural. Sometimes when I think about all natural products, I imagine that they would smell like grass or really earthy, but to my surprise they had very attractive scents. 

Lotions:
I was sent two different kinds of lotion: Papaya and Non-scented. I absolutely love the Papaya. I have used it every day for over a week and the packet is only about half way. Very nice packet size for a sample and I am really impressed. It leaves my hands so soft and for a long while too throughout the day. I use it in the morning and at night. The scent lasts all day which is really great. I love something that smells good, so this I am giving an A+. The non-scented gives me the same soft skin, just without the smell. Sometimes if I want more than just the dime size portion, I mix the two and the papaya scent carries through. Amazing!

Toothpaste:
The toothpaste is very peppermint-y. It comes out grey and thin on your tooth brush, but it suds up and does the job of normal toothpaste. I like that it is all natural as well. You can tell that it might have some baking soda in it, because it has a slight bitter aftertaste, but that doesn't bother me. 

Self Tanner:
I am not really into the self tanning, but I like that this company offers the option. I have not used this product, so I can not properly review it.

Volumizing and Daily Cleanse Shampoo & Conditioner:
This was great. It smelled earthy and musky at the same time. It suds-ed up very nice and left my hair feeling very clean. The conditioner was very thick and took a little more effort to get out, but maybe it was just how soft it left my hair. After drying, my hair was very full and bouncy. I really like this product. The look scared my at first because it had a brown tint to the product, but nonetheless, I was very pleased.

Hemp Body Wash:
This was okay. The smell was different, but not something I would pick to use all the time. It was floral-y and something else; just different. It lathered up really well and left me feeling clean, which I look for any anything body cleansing product. 

Conclusion:
Overall, this is a really nice product brand. The company was very generous with their samples and I am very pleased with that. Each sample, except for the shampoos, had multi uses out of each and I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for all natural products that really work! Head over to their website and see if you can get some samples or full products. They are amazing! Click Here

First Botany: Intensive Wrinkle-Free Anti-Aging Eye Cream

Another First Botany product, but not that much of a let down. My mother had used this for about 3 weeks and it worked for her, she did not really like the results. When using the cream, she felt like it wasn't working as well as she had hoped, but after a few weeks you could see little results around her eyes. She used it on her whole face, but only around the eyes is where she saw results. 

If you are looking for a quick acting product, I would say this is not the product to use. It does take a while for the product to work, but it does work. If you don't have a lot of wrinkles and want to add this to your regimen you could possible see long term consistent results. 

The product comes in a small pump bottle. The cream is creamy and light. Easy to apply and scentless.

Overall, I had higher hopes for this product as far as the rate in which you see results, but nonetheless, you do get them. If you are interested in this product, head over to amazon and get yourself a bottle. Click Here
