The second oil I tried was SlimWay from the Aesthetics Collection. The idea behind the slimway blend is to aid in digestion, boost metabolism and suppress appetite. There is a mix of grapefruit, fennel and lemon oils just to name a few.
This is the second bottle I received, for some reason I thought it was going to be different from the other bottle because they are now marketing it as a "Synergy" oil instead of an essential oil. When it's a synergy oil it means it's a combination or blend of different oils that are suppose to work together in order to satisfy a certain need, as opposed to an essential oil which is made up primarily of a specific type of oil.
Like I've said before, it doesn't really curb my appetite but it does help me from time to time. It's not meant to be ingested but when I put this on my stomach, or anywhere on my body it helps me pee more! It also sometimes calms my anxiety when I want to eat but it doesn't always. I do like the smell of this blend. Like with everything you need to have a weightless regime and a workout regime for this item to work. If not you won't see results.

Beauty Blender Dupe? Neon Green Applicator Makeup Blender Sponge!
Where to find: Neon Green Sponge
What it is:
- PERFECT ABSORPTION, LESS WASTE - Some makeup sponges waste makeup by absorbing too much of it into the sponge. We have tested and created ours with the perfect density to help prevent wasting your makeup and having to wash it down the drain. Keep your makeup on your face and not in the sponge.
- EXTREMELY SOFT TOUCH - We wanted to ensure that when our makeup sponge enables you to have a relaxing and enjoyable experience similar to that of a soft breeze touching your beautiful face.
- CONTOURS HARD TO REACH SPOTS - Lets face it now all makeup sponges are built alike. Ours for example are quality controlled to ensure even the smallest defect in shape is eliminated from seeing daylight. With this type of quality you will expect that the shape of this sponge will reach the hard to blend spaces of your face while creating a perfect balance when used evenly.
- REUSABLE & EASY TO CLEAN - Why would anyone want to create more waste then what is necessary. We have designed our makeup sponge so it can be washed, gently squeezed to dry and used again.
- TRAVEL CASE INCLUDED - Not everyone has all day to stay at home and its nice to bring the things in life that make a difference when freshening up. So each of our makeup sponges includes a plastic travel case so it can be stored in while not in use. Most sponges we have found are more likely to deteorate over time when exposed to certain elements outside their package. So we have created a unique travel pack that will allow you to put your makeup sponge in your purse or to jet set to your next destination with out worrying about it touching things it should not.
My opinion :
I really love this sponge. I think I've spent more money trying to find a similar sponge to the beauty blender. I've tried them all and found that the Real Techniques sponge was the only one I like other than the original Beauty blender.....until now! I got mine in my favorite color : green. It comes in little travel case to protect it on the go. This way it doesn't get ruined by anything else and the lid of the case even has small vent holes in it so you can put your sponge in it right away to dry and not worry about it getting mold/mildew as things that stay wet can without fresh air. I recently received this product at a discount to review it. I was very intrigued but skeptical of this sponge because I've tried so many that claim to be a "dupe" for the original Beauty Blender. This sponge is the only one I've tried that is SIMILAR to the Beauty Blender. It is soft like the beauty blender and expands like the beauty blender. Not only that, it provides a flawless application of my foundation, concealer and even powder. This sponge does not leave any streaks either! It really helps you get very nice even coverage. I thoroughly enjoy and prefer to use this sponge and definitely recommend it!
I believe this could be a dupe for the more expensive, highly popular Beauty Blender that every beauty guru raves about; this sponge is right on par with it, but for less money - so I definitely recommend it!
Below is the green one right next to the original pink BB and the other picture there are other sponges I've tried...my dog ate my real techniques one so it didn't make it to the picture hahaha

What it did for me:
I wasn't sure what AC-11 was or what it did so I looked it up. Apparently, AC-11 has a lot of heath benefits, it's a water soluble all natural rainforest plant extract that has been shown to help repair DNA damage due to sun and other environmental stress. It is also known to slow down the aging process. Scientific and clinical studies have demonstrated that AC-11 has the ability to aid in repair of DNA by way of activating enzymes that are involved with DNA repair processes. This is an all natural process that helps your body's own repair mechanisms to work better and to boost collagen production. This comes in an aluminum sealed package in order to ensure the quality of the product and prevent the risk of product contamination. As well as, to maintain the effectiveness of the active ingredients. It is water-based, additive, Paraben, alcohol, fragrance, and sulphate-free. I think this is great for all skin types and as a treatment.
This eye cream is used to reduce eye wrinkles and eliminates dark circles for a fresh, bright and younger look. It contains the safe and all-natural ingredient AC-11®, helping skin tissue regenerate from oxidative stress and exposure to the sun's UV rays. I use this in the morning and evening after washing my face and before applying any other serums, creams or lotions. I use a very small amount and it goes a long way. It is a clear gel that is very light and applies smoothly, it absorbs into the skin quickly and doesn't leave greasy, shiny or crusty skin. I have some expression lines but I also have a little bit of dark circles and puffiness at times when I'm lacking sleep, I use it in combination with my FOREO LUNA 2 Normal Skin. I feel like this has helped improve the look of my eyes and is a great age preventer but I personally prefer EYE CREAMS not gels so sometimes I also use it with my Kate Somerville CytoCell eye cream. I also use a PTR eye serum before using this eye gel sometimes at night. I would recommend this eye gel to some one who is trying to treat the skin- I don't feel like it gives me the whole hydration that I need which is why I combine it with a creamier eye cream sometimes at night only! I am happy I got to try this eye cream/gel because it's a good product and I was able to try it in exchange for my honest review.

Meagoes Rose gold Two Port Charger
What it did for me:
I have multiple car chargers that get hot after being plugged in for a while. When I was asked to test this product at a discounted price for my honest review I said yes. First, the blue light when plugged in is great at night. Trying to search for the plug driving down the road at night when your phone is dying and trying to use your GPS is frustrating. I also love that we can plug two devices to charge at the same time I tested this product this past weekend when I drove and it charged my iPhone quickly without a problem--when I arrived the plug was still cool. Finally I tested the speed at which it charges. I tested using my iPhone 6 plus It was at 20% battery and I turned on the low battery option and set my timer, it took about 40 minutes to charge to 100%. At home I waited for my phone to get down to 20 again again and plugged it in using my iPhone wall charger and under the same circumstances it charged to 100% in about an hour. So, in my opinion my new dual car charger is a fast charging option. I am very happy with it! If you liked my review and found it helpful please click the button below my review. xo

What it did for LILY!
I wasn't sure how this would work out because even though I got this item in exchange for an honest review, Lily doesn't allow me to brush her teeth. Lily is a Shih Tzu/Maltese mix and she is my little baby. She was the runt of the litter and she acquired the Shih Tzu trait of an underbite, except she has extra teeth. It's so hard to brush her teeth and I've tried numbers pet "toothpastes" out there but she never liked it. BOY WAS I SURPRISED WHEN SHE LET ME BRUSH HER TEETH! She seems to like the flavor of this one and it has actually helped her with her breath issues! I'm so happy I got to try this and I definitely recommend it for all dog owners!

Males -For pre-shaving -Exfoliating is a necessary part of a mans skincare routine. Exfoliating the face helps expose the facial hair follicles giving a closer shave.
Where to find it: Le Edge Full body Exfoliator
What it did for me :
This tool looks like a razor, BUT IT'S NOT A RAZOR! It's just a stainless steel edge, I honestly don't think you can cut yourself because it's in NO WAY sharp! I know from reading reviews that your skin has to be wet for this to work- but when I just wet my skin , I don't see results.
YOU NEED TO USE OIL WITH THIS. If you have used this product wet or dry and seen zero results, you NEED to introduce oil to the mix. I read somewhere that it's how the Romans and Greeks did it, they used an oil bath! What I do is completely clean my skin with my FOREO and a facial wash.I use it twice a week -once when I get out of the bath, and another time after I remove my makeup after a long day of work. I get my skin wet, put a tiny bit of Tea tree oil on, and then pull the Le Edge across my skin. At first all that will come up is loose and liquify oil, but with every subsequent pull, the residue will become thicker, and THAT'S the skin debris everyone talks about. I almost can't believe Le Edge doesn't mention that you NEED OIL to make this work. I saw so many reviews where people complained it did nothing and it acted more like a squeegee. That's exactly how I felt about it until I started using it with oil. So I continue along dragging and dragging, getting more and more skin. It doesn't hurt but it does leave my skin red just from the pressure. My textured skin looks a bit better after trying this for a month, it sure does feel VERY smooth!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this product, I was intrigued when I first read about it. I received this item heavily discounted in exchange for an honest review. I'm glad I got to try this because it left me pleasantly surprised and with smoother skin! This product is based off of an ancient Greek and Roman beauty tool called a strigil which was basically a sharp edge (NOT a razor though, more like a butter knife) dragged along the skin to remove dead skin and debris. I haven't tried this on my body yet, only my face - I will try it on my legs next!
REMEMBER TO USE THE OIL!
