Bioxidea Cosmetics

For this review, I was able to check out some very nice products. I received their Miracle 48 mask. This was very different for a face mask, as I am used to the creamy type masks you apply to your face and let dry, this was like a gel mask. It was different, but is sure does what it says it's supposed to do; my skin felt firm and smooth and definitely moisturized!




With this wonderful Miracle 48 mask I tried, I felt like I was at a day Spa. You are supposed to take it off your face and let it dissolve in your bath water and it makes your body feel just as wonderful as your face, and it did exactly that! 



Like I said above, these aren't like normal messy masks that you have to spread on your face, all you do, is open and apply!

Enjoy Professional Hair Care Review & Giveaway!!

Review & Giveaway hosted by: Little Helpers In LIfe!


Disclosure: I received one or more products or monetary composition for the exchange for my honest opinion. I only recommend product that I would use personally or believe would be a good fit with my readers. All opinions are 100 percent my own and may differ from yours. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.

I will be honest. I have A LOT of hair, but my hair is crazy. Most days it is just super flat. Making me just throw it up in a pony tail. I have natural waves and curls, but because my hair is so flat. I can't do much with it. I have tried EVERYTHING, and nothing seems to help keep my hair the way I would like it for more then twenty minutes after I am done doing it. 


I have been lucky enough to try Enjoy hair care. I was given the chance to try the Sulfate-Free Rejuvenating Volumizing Trio.   I was so excited to see how fast this product would work with my terrible hair. I opened the package, and as my son napped I decided it was definitely shower time. I took a shower, and washed my hair as directed. Just with the shampoo my hair had already started feeling so much better. Not weighted down like with my everyday shampoo. 

I used the conditioner next. I did leave this in for about five minutes while I did the rest of my showering. I really like having my hair as soft as possible. After I was finished it felt so soft, and so much lighter. Like I washed chemical build up out of my hair. 

I was also given mousse to try. So, I decided that I should try and do my hair how I would like even though I wasn't confident that it would hold for more then a half hour. To my surprise, my hair lasted all day until I had to pull it up when I went into the pool. 

I overall was so impressed with Enjoy Hair Care. After multiple uses my hair feels more and more chemical free and less heavy. And since my hair is so long, it is literally like a huge weight off my shoulders. I will definitely be continuing to use these products.

Evolve Skin LLC Review & Giveaway!

I received a deodorant bar from Evolve Skin LLC to review. It was so different from any deodorant I've ever used; it came in a biodegradable wrapper and was shaped like a peanut butter cup, it was cute. Apparently my kids thought it was a peanut butter cup; they got a hold of it and tried eating it!

This company has all vegan products, so they are healthy and natural. They are PETA approved, which is amazing to me! I hate when people feel the need to harm animals to test products. With this deodorant, it is best stored in the fridge. Evolve Skin also offers Lotions, Body Scrubs, Facial Toner Mists, Body Butter, Lip Balm and a Flight pack, which includes sample sizes of some of their products.

The Deodorant they sent me slightly smells like Lavender, but not to overpowering, it is also their best seller! I was very pleased with this deodorant.

I don't have a picture of the bar I got, because the kids pretty much demolished it, and it's all smooshed now.

You can check out their website and order yours. Like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and Instagram!

NovaKera Review & Giveaway!

One thing I hate about winter, other than it being terribly cold and the roads being horrible, dry cracked skin! I received NovaKera's 7-Day Healthy Skin Cream to review for you guys, and I must say, it has worked wonders on my hands and feet! I don't have terribly cracked heels, but they aren't pretty either! I used this cream everyday, randomly throughout the day, for seven days. My feet are now smooth as a baby's butt! 

This cream is also great for split fingertips, so if you work with a lot of chemicals throughout the day, this would be ideal for you! Also, it's good for dry elbows, yeah, mine aren't dry and my fingertips aren't split, so I just stuck with my feet on this one! You can apply this stuff when needed throughout the day. It also has a very strong citrus smell, the first time I used it, I was like holy cow! Where is that orangey smell coming from!? But it smells great!


No, these are not my feet! ;)

You can get your NovaKera 7-Day Healthy Skin Cream at their website! Also, like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube Channel!

AnnMarie Gianni Skin Care Review!

I was able to review some samples from AnnMarie Gianni. It's a skin care company that offers so many products to keep your skin healthy! I got eight of her products; Ayurvedic Facial Scrub, Dead Sea Facial Scrub, Aloe-Herb Cleanser, Purifying Mud Mask, Herbal Facial Oil, Repair Serum, Coconut Body Oil and Neroli Toning Mist. 

I was not able to review any of her full sized products, so in the pictures I will be showing you, they're not actual size products! Below I will add pictures from my favorite items to my least favorite items with the links to tell you a little about each! For the record, I loved all of these products!

North Coast Organics Review & Giveaway!!

Deodorant. No one on the face of this planet can live without it! North Coast Organics sent me three travel sizes of their deodorants; Death by Lavender, Naked and Revolver. They are a very fair price, considering they are USDA Organic Certified, PETA Certified, Vegan Action Certified and they don't get tested on animals. 

The first one I tried out was the Naked, it has no smell to it. 

"Naked is formulated to be gentle on your skin and harsh on odor. Naked uses the minimal amount of the finest, natural ingredients to ensure that you do not stink and your underarms are not harmed from chemicals used in most store bought deodorants. 
Ingredients(Vegan): coconut oil*, carnauba wax*, arrowroot powder* & baking soda"

It definitely kept my armpits fresh and they didn't smell at all! 


I also have Death By Lavender. It has the lavender smell, I don't like Lavender, so this was my least favorite of the three. 
"Death will kill [odor] for you.  She relishes snuffing odor out. She bares her true face for it puts odor on notice.  Death is a cocky, elite assassin that will never miss her target.  She is unlike any other deodorant you will meet.
Although a ruthless killer [of odor], she has a soul.  She utilizes only the finest, organic, all natural ingredients as her weapons. This container is recyclable and reusable. The labels are printed in vegan ink on 100% Tree Free/100% Fair Trade Certified Paper.
Ingredients(Vegan): Coconut Oil*, Carnauba Wax*, Cornstarch*, Baking Soda, and Proprietary Blend of Essential Oils*  .    *Certified Organic"

The last kind I have, Revolver. This has some scent to it, I can't really tell you what it smells like because I'm not sure, but it's not a bad smell at all.

"Revolver is unlike any other deodorant you will ever use.  Revolver shoots down odor wherever it lurks and will never miss its target.  Unholster Revolver today and send odor to an early grave.
Although a ruthless killer [of odor], Revolver has a soul.  He is made from only the finest, organic, all natural ingredients.  This container is recyclable and resusable.  The labels are printed in vegan ink on 100% Tree Free/100% Fair Trade Certified Paper.
Ingredients(Vegan): Coconut Oil*, Carnauba Wax*, Cornstarch*, Baking Soda, and Proprietary Blend of Essential Oils*      *Certified Organic"

Cate & Chloe Review!!

I received a pair of beautiful earrings from Cate & Chloe Subscription box. This is a jewelry subscription box, that will send you about $200 a month worth of jewelry, and it will only cost you as low as $32 a month! Pretty neat, and their jewelry is really cute, too! They also have a V.I.P. membership. Also, if you don't want some surprise jewelry sent to your door every month, you can buy whatever items you want!

As well as earrings, they also have necklaces and bracelets. The pair of earrings I got are called Devin "Divine" Stud Earrings, and are worth $125, they are really beautiful, unfortunately for me, I don't have my ears pierced! 



In my opinion, this is a really great way to get cute jewelry for a reasonable price! And the best part, you get two or three items sent to you every month! How could it be any better?

To check out their other jewelry, go to their website, like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!!


Chop Saver Review!

During the harsh Michigan winters, I always get super chapped lips! This year it was really bad! I found a website that was great for that reason! ChopSaver was made for musicians, I have never really played an instrument so I don't know the difficulties of playing a wind instrument with chapped lips, but I could just about imagine! These chap sticks are all natural and come in two varieties; Gold and Original.


Over the winter we just had, my lips were the worst I think they have ever been. When I received my ChopSaver, I was excited for some relief! Yeah, it took a couple days to get my lips back to "normal", but they really did feel better after applying just the first time!

You can visit them at their website where you read more information about the advantages of this chap stick. You can also go straight to purchase, find where to buy and tons of other stuff!
Make sure to like them on Facebook, follow them on Twitter and subscribe to their YouTube channel!



FiaFini Skincare Review!

FiaFini Skincare is probably one of the best skincare companies I have reviewed so far. They have very high quality products to make you look and feel younger! As you can see when checking out their website, they're not the cheapest place for beauty, but you definitely get what you pay for. Plus, the size of their bottles, you will be using their products for quite some time! Totally worth it!

I was able to review four products from FiaFini and was more than pleased with all of them! The first items I tested out was their 3-piece Collection! This comes with a cleanser, moisturizer and an eye cream! The cleanser is definitely great for keeping your skin clean, especially if you are a heavy make up wearer. As most moisturizers, this one makes your face feel amazing! Being only 22, I still don't have the best skin, but using these products definitely makes me feel like I have the best skin! As for the eye cream, it is more for wrinkles and what not, so I don't use it.


The next item I have for review, 100% Marula Beauty Oil. This was my favorite of the four! It is strong enough to basically give your skin a makeover, but gentle enough to use on children. It can also be used on men as well. The best part, my son, Jacob, has super bad eczema on his belly and everything I have used so far makes it go away for a little while, but then it just comes back, I try this on him and it works, not to mention making his skin so soft! You can use this on your skin, nails and hair! I will be testing it out on my hair soon, as I have a horribly dry scalp! I have faith it will help me out!


You can find their ingredients used in their products, here! You can check out other products from FiaFini at their website. Also, like them on Facebook, Follow them on Twitter, Pinterest, Google + and sign up for their mailing list

Dew Puff Review!!

I was able to try out these neat little skin cleansing sponges! They are all natural and made from plant material! They only have one ingredient, Konjac Root! They are great to use after medical Spa Treatments, surgery, minor wounds and bruised skin because they are proven to be more gentle and less painful than your hands! One Dew Puff sponge can last up to three months being used twice a day!



I have only had the chance to use one of these sponges once, due to all the other facial washes I have been reviewing, but that one time made my face feel the best it has ever felt! I can honestly say my face was exfoliated, unlike those other chemical filled products you can buy in the store!

The Dew Puff sponges come in 3 different varieties:

  1. Bamboo Charcoal: A grey sponge containing natural antioxidants for skin that is prone to blemishes!
  2. Original: A white sponge that is even gentle enough to use on a babies skin.
  3. Asian Clay:  An orange sponge great for those of you who are trying to stay away from those pesky wrinkles!
You cant get your Dew Puff at their website! Like them on Facebook! Follow them on Twitter!

Cowgirl Dirt Review!

What girl doesn't like makeup? Ok, so I know a couple, but still! I have some pretty neat makeup I have reviewed for you all! I received 10 different sample sizes of Cowgirl dirt makeup! Growing up in the country and being around horses my whole life, I get the names of the products, it's really neat actually!


The first product I checked out was the Finishing Powder. You apply this to your face under your foundations or whatever you apply to your face normally. It is used to soak up oils and remove lines and wrinkles to give your face a smooth finish! I used this to mostly get rid of the black circles under my eyes! It worked!






Next was the sample brushes they sent me. There were only two of them, but they are the perfect size to

apply lipstick or eye shadows.



I like to use bronzer over my foundation, since I can't get a tan to save my life, so I picked out their Dusty Bronzer sample. It came with two different shades; Trail and Arena.




Then there is the eye makeup remover. Normally when I put makeup on, I like my mascara and eyeliner dark, really dark! I get way more compliments about my blue eyes popping out! So eye makeup remover is a must for me!





I also got some Stardust body glitter, for those nights I wanna sparkle! It's a really pretty color and I enjoy the way it looks.





I got the deep sea mask as well, but it came in powder form, so I have not had the chance to try it out yet!

The Black Beauty Powder Eyeliner is also a big hit for me, like I said I love my eyeliner dark!

I am not a huge lipstick fan, but I have noticed I have been wearing it more.. So I tried it out and it's a really pretty shade!! I really like it!

And last but not least, There was the White Wash, Cream Eye Shadow. It is a really pretty color, but I have yet to use this product either. I will soon though!

Don't forget, these are SAMPLE sizes! So when you order a full size product, you will get more than this. They offer numerous things, makeup related! If you love to make your face smooth and flawless, and love to check out new products, I would definitely suggest checking out their website to grab some stuff of your own!





Bouqs Review!!!

I am a HUGE flower fan, especially roses! If they're bought for me from a special someone, or even if I buy them myself, flowers make me feel wonderful! So when I was able to review this bouquet of flowers sent to me from Bouqs, I was probably the happiest person in the world. They sent me 14 long stem and short stem roses to review from you. They came from California! They also offer a selection from South America! This site is really great and would be awesome for mother's day or even an anniversary. You don't have to get roses, they offer a large variety of flowers and colors just for you.

I received JUST the roses to review! The other flowers were already in the vase and I only have one.


Trust me, flowers aren't cheap! But when you have an option to pay only $75 for 36 long stemmed roses, that's a steal! They give you an option for people like me who can't decide, you can chose to have them pick out a bouquet! I should probably mention, they have three different prices and sizes of bouquet as well. So if you don't feel the need to spend $75.

You can get you flower arrangement sent right to your house, or wherever you need them to go, by looking at their website.

ENJOY Luxury Smoothing System Review and Giveaway

I was given the option to try out this Smoothing System which came with shampoo, conditioner and a straightening serum. I have used it every day since I received it and I wish I had a gallon jug of it! I love the way it made my hair feel and smell. I will have to tell you ladies, I have somewhat poofy hair, and I always use my hair straightener to "calm" it down a bit. When I used the shampoo and conditioner, which smells incredibly lovely, it made my hair a little more "tame" than it normally is. But, when I used the straightening product that came with this selection, my hair was extra soft, smelled amazing and not even close to poofy, frizzy or wild! This stuff actually works! And I love it!




I would have taken before and after pictures of my hair, but I've been sick all week with a sinus infection and wasn't really feeling like taking a picture of myself while feeling like crap! But I can promise you, this stuff works! I didn't have my hair in my normal pony tail that day, I left it down. Even after taking a walk and having the wind blow my hair all crazy, when I got home, I looked in the mirror and noticed my hair still wasn't all crazy! 



When ordering my smoothing system for this review, I was also amazed by how quickly my emails were responded to. Even tonight, I had a quick question and she got right back to me on a Saturday evening. I was really impressed!




I think the part I don't like about these products, they don't sell them online or in any stores other than in salons. If you are interested in trying this product or any other ENJOY products, go to this website to find a salon near you!

Evologie Review!

I can honestly say, I don't think I have ever used so many skin products in my life! I got the Stay Clear Cleanser, Intensive Blemish Serum and the Stay Clear Cream! I used this product this morning and my face feels amazingly soft and clean!

I went in order of product use, starting with the Stay Clear Cleanser. All you do is wet your hands, pump some of the cleanser into your hands and wash your face, rinse it off and pat it dry. Really simple. Just using this made my face feel great!


Now, I don't really have any blemishes on my face as of now, but I used the blemish serum as well. I will have to let you all know, if you have a runny nose and have been blowing your nose for days before using this product, DON"T put it on your nose. I figured I would see if it would take away the redness on my nose, and it burnt so bad! My fault! 


So after the horrible experience with the burning of my nose, I continued anyways, because once again, my fault! I used the cream. I did not put any of this anywhere around my nose this time. But I put it on the rest of my face and it definitely made my face feel fresh and soft!


So with these products, you are supposed to use them in the order I told you about, you can use the cleanser twice a day for however long you need too, and the cream can also be applied twice a day. The blemish serum is supposed to be used for blemishes and then you don't use it til another one comes along.

I really liked the cleanser for washing my face. I plan on using it in the mornings when I wake up and at night before I go to bed. Much better than soap and water! I will also use the cream after washing my face. Mostly because it helps prevent breakouts, and we all know how much of a pain acne can be, even if it's just one pimple here or there. These products are hypoallergenic, which is great for me because I have really sensitive skin. It is also fragrance free, oil free, and alcohol free.

You can orders your here, or enter the giveaway below!! 
You can also like their Facebook page!
This is giving you a chance to save even more money that they are offering on their site right now. These three products have a value of $106, they have it on their site for only $84! They are also kind enough to let me give you a chance to get these products for free!

Here's what you get!

Merlot Skin Care Review & Giveaway!!

Today I have received my Clay Mask from Merlot Skin Care. Of course, I applied the mask to my face and neck as directed and rinsed it off. My face feels clean and definitely tighter, it also made it not as oily. It was a really thin clay mask, as I am used to using the thicker ones. The clay mask is a deep cleaning product that draws out excess oil and impurities in your face. I will continue to use this product!




Merlot's Skin Care products are made from Natural Grape Seeds, which are good to use as a natural anti aging remedy. Their products are also supposed to make your skin healthier and younger looking, I wouldn't know after just one use, so perhaps I will do another review of this product and let you all know what I think after using it for some time. The antioxidants found in red grapes are linked to studies that have proven they are beneficial in fighting certain cancers and lowering cholesterol. Who woulda thought grapes could be so useful!? Red grape seeds are 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and almost 25 times more powerful than Vitamin C. Pretty neat, huh?

Another thing about this company I find absolutely fantastic, as an animal lover, their products are all cruelty free, and also made in the USA. The Merlot company also has many more products on their website that help with firming your facial skin, stuff to help prevent wrinkles, body lotions, foot lotions and lots of other goodies. Make sure to check them out!

I also received the travel sized Merlot Grape Seed Moisturizer, which is also another product for 'anti-wrinkles'. I put this cream onto my face after I rinsed off the mask. It made my face feel a lot better! My face is very soft, also. 


You can find these products and many other skin care products at the Merlot Skin Care Website and Facebook! You can also subscribe to their newsletter, where you will be the first to know about great deals!


Here comes the fun part! A giveaway!! The winner will have their choice of product from the Merlot Skin Care website. I will be shipped directly to you from the company! 
Good Luck!
