I am a huge fan of facial wipes and use this brand often. As a #spoonie, facial wipes are on my top 5 list of required beauty products. For reference, I have combination skin that can become oily in the T zone if my moisturizer is too heavy.
Pros:
* Easy to use, no water or rinsing required
* Compact package
* Resealable package that actually works
* Leaves my face feeling clean and soft
* Two sided, gentle and exfoliating
* My face is not tight afterwards and I don't feel the need for moisturizer
Cons:
* The exfoliating side may be too rough for anyone who has extremely sensive skin.
I think this is a great product and definitely recommend it. It is nice that it is available in most drugstores and big box stores, as well as online.
These are especially helpful if you are going to have a hospital stay, go camping, have a baby, or are a #spoonie like me.
If you are not familiar with #spoonies, you are probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about! A #spoonie is someone with a chronic illness(es) that faces special challenges when it comes to doing normal day to day activities. Washing your face, showering, being out of bed for even short amounts of time take large amounts of energy for us. Having facial wipes available can really help you feel just a little bit normal again.
Thank you for taking the time to read my review. This is a product that I regularly purchase, not something that I have received to review.

I was very excited to try this product. Who doesn't love long beautiful lashes? Before it arrived, I received emailed instructions on how to use the product, it was very thorough. it certainly helps to have some sort of material before the actual product arrives so that if it is something new to you, you have time to read up on it and do any further research needed.
The case that the two tubes comes in is very nice. A pamphlet on how to use the product came with it. I followed the instructions carefully, first combing and then curling my lashes. I have med length lashes to start with. I applied the base coat and was surprised, one coat looked like I had put on several coats of mascara. I then put on the fiber lashes, be sure to use something to protect the area under your eye before you do this. I am not sure what I expected, but it was not this. When it says fibers, that is exactly what they are, tiny pieces of something, which adhere to the base coat.
At this point, my lashes looked like I had used cheap mascara, and had applied too many coats, leaving it clumpy and unattractive. Even after applying another coat of the first tube, tiny flakes kept falling all over my face. The clumps and fibers were everywhere by the time I just went in and wiped it all off with warm water a few hours later. This is the first fiber lash kit I have tried, so have nothing to compare it to. I would not recommend this product, using a good quality mascara will give you a much better, polished look.
i have since tried to use this product several times again, with the same result.

I love trying new and different masks on my face. I have used Moroccan Oil in my hair before and loved the results, so knew that this would more than likely be a great product too. If you have not had a lot of experience with masks, this would be a great one to start with.
First of all, when you first open the jar, the smell is enticing. I just wanted to leave it open on my nightstand and smell it all night, but I was anxious to try this. The mud itself is actually very dense, so I would suggest taking some out of the jar and mixing it in your hand with a little bit of water before applying it to your face. Otherwise it is hard to smooth it onto your skin without rubbing, and you don't want to rub this in. Once you have the mask applied, just rest (you want to feel like you are really at a spa right?) for about 15 minutes before rinsing this off your face. Gently pat your skin dry, do not rub. I like to apply just a little toner afterwards, to close my freshly clean pores. I use spray toner after I use this. I don't want anything to disturb the silky feeling that this leaves on my skin.
You can also use this in your hair, but not if your hair is extremely dry. This would be good if you have naturally oily hair since this may dry your hair out after using it.
Toner and quality masks like this one are essentials for keeping your skin clean and problem free. Not all masks are created equal, this one is certainly one of the best I have ever used.

From the moment I opened this, I have been in love with it. Yes, crazy isn't it? I leave it on my nightstand and every time I walk by it during the day I spritz some on. I found the true benefit of toners recently and since then I have been trying a few out, looking for ones that have natural ingredients and essential oils that I prefer.
This facial toner has rose water in it, which happens to be one of my many favorite scents. When I spray it on my face, I immediately feel fresher and it has a calming effect. While I got about my day, the other natural ingredients like witch hazel, aloe vera, cucumber, glycerin and citric are working their magic on my completion making my pores less noticeable and my skin more hydrated. If you were like me and had tried toner in your younger years and didn’t see any benefit, try it again and you will see and feel the difference.
I also like this because it doesn’t contain SPF. I have sensitivity to SPF and it is hard to find any beauty products without it in it. That is another reason I have come to prefer creating my own beauty products to care for my skin using essential oils and other natural ingredients or finding ones like this that puts in ingredients that when you read the label, you actually know what they mean.
I enjoy writing reviews and of course read them before I make a decision on whether or not to buy something that is unfamiliar to me. How many times have we all bought something only to find it didn’t live up to our expectations or the advertised description and think to ourselves, “I wish someone would have told me that!” Likewise, everyone likes to find a great deal and a quality product. I purchased this Facial Toner on Amazon at a discount in return for my honest and unbiased opinion. We need to be able to share our real life experiences to assist other consumers in making informed purchasing decisions and this is the perfect platform to do so on.

I am so in love with these hammered copper cups. I have gone from coveting them in the hardware store to having the start of a great collection. I love that these are made of 100% copper. The large 16 oz size makes it the perfect drink size for whatever you are drinking. This is a hand hammered cup, it is very attractive, and the light plays off of the different textures and gives it a really warm looking glow. I had no idea when I first started looking at these that they good for different kinds of beer, I just knew that I liked the way they looked.
Even if you buy two of the same mug, each one is a little different since they are hand crafted. The lip of this mug is turned beautifully, leaving a smooth edge. The handle is smooth and built to last; it is soldered on. I have seen other mugs that have the handle riveted on, I have no preference but the solder will last longer. I mentioned how I love how the light reflects off the texture of the mug, that is the feature that I like the most other than the benefits of it being 100% copper. The bottom of the mug is stamped; assuring you this is the real deal.
These keep your drink very cold, much more so than regular glass. For that reason, I like to use mine for plain water, iced tea and Mojitos. I started wondering what a Moscow Mule was though so finally had to look it up. I am including the recipe in case you didn't know either. If is definitely worth a try, even if you aren’t a beer drinker!
Moscow Mule Recipe
4 oz vodka
8 oz. ginger beer
1 TBSP sugar syrup
1 oz. lime juice
3 slices of lime
A few slices of mint
HOW TO MIX:
In your mug approximately 1/2 full of ice, add vodka, sugar syrup, and lime juice.
Top with ginger beer and stir
Garnish with mint sprigs and lime slices.
Enjoy!
Copper not only keeps your drink colder than other materials, the copper has a chemical reaction with the acid in lemon and limes making drinks with those ingredients have a special flavor that you don't experience when drinking them from a normal glass. I hand wash my mugs and dry them very carefully. If they start to tarnish, you can clean them by simply rubbing the outside with a lemon.

When I was at the Mayo Clinic it was the only topical pain reliever they carried in their in-house drugstore. All the staff there swore by it, it far exceeded my expectations working much better than all the others I have tried like Bengay, Tiger Balm, Aspercream, Icy Hot etc.... I have Chronic Pain, Fibromyalga and Restless Leg Syndrome along with several other conditions. Some days my body hurts so bad I can't get out of bed and my legs are so painful that I cry. My husband rubs this on my legs and other critically painful areas and within 10 minutes I feel so much better and can move again. This is one thing we make sure we never run out of!
The smell is strong when it is first applied, but it quickly dissipates unlike other products. Be sure to wash your hands carefully after applying this.
