Spiced Mango & Passionfruit

I tried the Spiced Mango and Passionfruit flavor and liked it. I had a couple of sips of it on it's own, which was nice in that it was not too sugary and not too bland. It's right down the middle, which for me is exactly what I am looking for - think more flavorful sparkling flavored water. I then mixed it with white rum and it was delicious as a mixer. If you're looking for a low calorie, complex-flavored, quick and easy cocktail mixer - this is a great option.
I look forward to trying the other flavors!

I used Baebrow's Instant Tint and their All Caps Henna Capsules for tinting my very blonde eyebrows.
 
Pros: Both products are incredibly easy to use - the instant tint is as basic as it gets: open the tube, apply to brows, leave on for 20 minutes and viola, you are done. 

Cons: It's insanely expensive. I assume  it is because they claim to be more natural than old school dyes with developers, but they aren't a 100% natural brand either so I feel a little ripped off. The instant tint did tint my brows, but not nearly as deeply as my old school Refectocil does. I went with Brown for my color, even though that is darker than they recommend for blonde hair. I was a little worried that it would be too dark and make me look crazy, but on the contrary, it's a little lighter than I hope for - even leaving it on for the full 20 minutes (which is almost 3 times longer than my old brow dye). The color only lasts for about 3 days tops - so it's a lot of work for very little pay off. 
The All Caps Henna worked better and lasted longer for me, but the skin around my brows stays kind of red and senstive all day afterward. It could either be because I have a sensitivity to it, or because I had to scrub the paste off when removing. As the henna caps mixture dries on the brows, it dries into a dry paste and it's a little hard to get off, hence the scrubbing to get off.

All in all, I won't personally keep buying it, because the price point isn't worth it for my goals, but I will use up the rest of the product I already have.

I've used Vegamour's Gro Serum for the past 7 months. I, like a  lot of people, noticed a lot of hair loss after Covid. Whether that was from the virus itself or from the stress around the pandemic -it was obvious that I was losing a significant amount more hair than I used to, and seeing clumps of my hair coming out while combing through it after every shower was incredibly depressing. I had two goals when starting with the serum: hoping to stop the shedding, and ultimately grow more hair. 

Pros:
-I love the texture of the serum. It isn't greasy and does not leave any residue in my hair. I have very fine baby soft blond hair, and the smallest amount of the wrong product can wreak havoc quickly. This serum can be applied daily, whether it is on damp, just-showered hair or dry, day-two hair with the exact same feeling. It is weightless and easy to work with.
-I did notice a significant stoppage of shedding. Within about 3 months the amount of hair that was left on my comb was so much less. That made me very happy and eased my stress :)
-The subscription/shipping is easy and super easy to change/delay/skip, etc

Cons:
-It's so expensive. Even with the subscription, it's an investment - which for me puts more pressure on the product to work miracles.
-My hair hasn't become more full or grow in more than my normal pre-covid growth. I do not identify with the pictures of the users who's volume seems to go up by 50% or more. I was really hoping to have fuller hair by now, but no such luck for this girlie.

Conclusion: I have 4 bottles left since I bought them in bulk, so I plan to finish them - which will put me at almost a years worth of using it. I don't feel like I will be continuing my subscription, since I believe that covid just stressed my system and I'm most likely more balanced now. If it would have increased hair growth, I would keep going but that isn't the case for me.

I REALLY wanted to LOVE this brand. My bra needs are pretty basic. I have an average 36B chest size, and I just need a bra to hold 'em up and feel comfortable, in a wire-free design. I tried the following bra styles:
-Glace Triangle
-Sieve Triangle
-Sieve Cut-out
-Sieve Non-Wire
-Eyelet Lace in Cut-Out

Pros:
-The design is gorgeous. I feel really sexy when I wear them and they make me feel beautiful. I like the play-ful see through design.
-Wirefree.
-Price seemed to be comprable to other high-end bras.
-Customer service was really helpful when it came to Returns/Exchanges as I tried to get the right sizes for my body.

Cons:
-All of them stretched out after about a month, even when washing them as delicates. The Sieve Cut-out now has little dimples that kind of stick out like nipples through a shirt, and they just look kind of baggy when they are on now. I have to adjust the straps up real tight to stop the baggy-ness and it makes them uncomfortable to wear when I do that.
-The texture of the fabric is not what I expected. I was under the impression that they would be pillow-soft or satiny. The Sieve and the Eyelet designs are scratchy on my skin and it's a little red and irritated when I take them off at night.
-For the price, I need the bra to offer more support. They wear like a bralette and support like a bralette, so don't expect some hidden support built in to them.

Conclusion: I wasn't as impressed as I wanted to be with the product. I was really hoping for a non-wire, sexy bra option that gave me support and comfort, but they just aren't comfortable enough for me to continue to wear them. I never found myself forgetting that I had them on, and that was what I was hoping for.

I decided to try this toilet paper since Thingtesting put out an offer for partial reimbursement. 
Overall, I like the product. The toilet paper is substantial and soft enough for my needs.

Pros:
-Good, thick paper texture - well constructed and gets the job done.
-Does not shed or shred, which is  a major must
-No plastic packaging

Cons:
-Wildly expensive. I know that it is not *as expensive* as other sustainable toilet paper, but 12 rolls of toilet paper was $16 (The box calls them 'mega' rolls, but they are the same size as a standard non-mega roll of toilet paper). If you are already used to paying a lot more for sustainable toilet paper, this may not be a shock, but for people trying to switch from regular tp to a sustainable brand, the same hurdle happens here as with others - it's just so much more money than regular tp.

I don't think I will be purchasing again, since the price point is still just too high for me. I very much want to use sustainable products and reduce my consumption of non-sustainable materials, but this solution doesn't work for me. I will stick to using less toilet paper and utilizing my bidet, which in the long-run seems to be a more economical answer for me right now.

I am loving my Flaus! I've had my device for about 4 months, and it does make flossing easier for me to the point that my oral health has improved. I am terrified of spending MORE money on expensive dental fixes and I wish I would have cared about my flossing habits so much more for the past 20 years of my life. The ease of use is as they claim - I haven't had any floss snapping or getting stuck, and I have tight teeth. I also have 3 crowns and I haven't had any issue at all with the device around those (in fact, I think it's making them better because I am actually keeping them cleaner this way). The vibrations are nice, but you still want to mimic the movement that you would normally used when regularly flossing - ie: up and down manually and the 'c' shape pull at the base in both directions. Mostly I just think the vibrations is an added bonus if you are using it right.

Pros: 
-It is quick and easy to use, and keeps you from sticking your fingers all up in there
-Replacement heads are reasonably priced imo
-They allow you to send back the used floss heads to be recycled
-battery life is great (4 months in and still haven't needed a charge)

Cons:
-Needs a solution for permanent retainer. I am old school and have a permanent retainer on my bottom front teeth, so I can't use it on this area. So I still have to pull out regular old floss and thread that area. This would be the same problem I assume for braces. BUT they claim to be working on a solution for it, so I am waiting with bated breath for those heads to come out!
-Initial purchase is a little steep, but worth it in the long run for me.

Will Definitely recommend this to my friends/family

I've been using the SNOW LED Whitening electric toothbrush (Gen 2) for about 8 months. This is my first experience with an electric toothbrush, as I have used an ionic toothbrush for the past decade and my go-to was being phased out so I had to make a change. I was really worried that I wouldn't get as squeaky clean feel from this, but have been pleasantly surprised so far. 

Pros:
-4 settings, all easy to use - even when switching them up mid-brush
-Good battery life.
-Teeth feel very clean and the vibrations feel like they are good and deep to break up gunk

Cons:
-Not sure that I am seeing much result from the whitening that is supposed to happen with the led blue-light head. I have pretty white teeth to begin with, but they haven't gotten whiter from using this toothbrush
-I wish the replacement heads were made from a more eco-friendly material
-The head seems to get more gunked up faster than other brush heads I've used, which makes me want to replace them more often than every 3 months
-Pricey off the bat for the original purchase - definitely an investment

Overall happy with the product and will keep using :)

FLEXSTYLE
I've been using the Shark Flexstyle for a little over a year, and I'm still really liking it. Confession: I have never used the Dyson Airwrap, so  I have no ability to compare the two.

I use this device primarily as a heated round-brush. My hair is so smooth and shiny afterward, and I really think it has helped the health of my hair. I have very very fine naturally blonde hair, so it gets damaged really easily. I love it so much for the round brush feature.

With the Curler attachments, it's a little more complicated. My hair will curl up for about 20 minutes with defined curls, and then the curls fall out (even with product to try to hold it). However, I have learned that my hair will be left with really soft curves - kind of like styled bed-head, so I'm not opposed to it, I just had to get used to the fact that the Flexstyle is never going to give me curl curls.

Pros:
-Love that it is one unit for multiple uses (although I don't use it as a straight hair dryer much)
-Great for damage remedy and gentle styling
-Love how my hair feels and looks after I use it

Cons:
-This thing is SO LOUD! Like seriously it is the loudest styling device I have EVER USED IN MY LIFE. I have legitimately considered using earplugs when I use it because, when I am working on sections near my ears, I worry about how loud it is... lol
-Takes a long time to curl. In order to get those above-mentioned waves, I have to hold each section for about 35 sections a piece (15 seconds with heat, 20 seconds with cold air), so it takes about double the time just using a  curling wand would.
-It is kind of large and clunky to travel with. I originally got it with the travel case, but that thing is huge in itself so, not ideal for packing lightly.
-As I'm sure everyone knows if you've looked into it, it's expensive. I bought mine on a black friday deal which made the price point a bit more bearable.

Overall, would recommend :)

I've been using my Dermaclara Patches for about 8 months.
 
I really love how they feel and I think they are at an amazing pricepoint. Their website says you can use them for about a month, but I am finding that mine last SO MUCH LONGER than that if you take good care of them. I absolutely love that they are reusable and much more sustainable than single use patches.

I have the forehead patch, the eye/mouth patches, the neck patch, and the chest patch. I use them about 3-4 times a week and my skin seems to be staying plump and firm where I use them. 
I'm not sure about how well they repair damaged/sagging skin though. I have some lines and crepey skin on my neck, and I haven't noticed that area getting better per say - but it isn't getting worse, so that's something...!

They feel really luxurious, and don't irritate my sensitive skin at all (other silicone patches in the past have).
My only complaint is that the neck patch seems too skinny to cover all the skin that I'd like it to - you kind of have to just choose the worst ring of your neck and cover that area. And if you have a skinny neck like I do, they are really long - I use a bandana around my neck to hold it in place, otherwise it tries to start peeling off. Would be nice if they came out with a couple different sizes for neck patches.
I also really hope that they come out with a version of an under chin sling. That seems to be the only area of the face that is missing in my routine with them.

Overall, I love them and would definitely recommend!!

I really wanted to love this brand. 
I wanted to find something that had long wear like gel nails but did not have the damage that comes with them. Unfortunately, it wasn't for me :(

I bought the green flash kit - with a color of my choice. The color was really nice and the kit was easy to use, however, by the next day 7 out of my 10 nails were peeling off :( They never fully set either, so a couple of them had smudge marks in them which didn't look good. I followed all instructions to a T. It might be that different nails hold the product better than others, but if that's the case, mine were not a match.

I also purchased the Active Glow polish. My thought was that after a round of traditional gel nails, I could hopefully use this formula to strengthen my nails again so they took less of a beating. I bought the color called blueberry,thinking it would give my nails a nice healthy hue. Kind of a no-makeup look for my nails. It goes on kind of oozy - where the color isn't consistent and gets blotchy in places. The color runs into the creases near the edges and cuticles and doesn't look right. The overall look of the Active Glow is one of stained nails that look like I was squishing raspberries and now my nails have pigment spotched on them. Not in a good way, in a messy way.

The other problem with the brand is that they only take returns on unused products, so if you are trying them out for the first-time and spent $100 dollars, like I did, there is nothing you can do. Obviously in order to know if you like a product you have to use it - so now I just have these products sitting in my home that I don't think I will keep using since they didn't work for me.

Overall, a bit of a disappointment - I'll keep looking for a natural, clean solution to long-wearing nail products. This brand wasn't it for me.
