energems review (chocolate energy)



energems is really as they say: They are bite-sized and taste delicious. You can use them as an energy supplement instead of an energy drink or coffee. They are a hard coated gem made with real milk chocolate, B Vitamins, caffeine and a proprietary energy blend.

INFO:
Enhance memory, focus and concentration. There are 3 servings (9 gems) per box. A single serving  (3 gems) has the caffeine equivalent of a cup of coffee or 75mg of caffeine. Each gem has only 15 calories and less than 1 gram of fat.  Energems’ unique delivery system allows consumers to conveniently and discretely consume the appropriate amount of energy as needed, when needed.  









I actually loved the taste of all 3 energems (milk chocolate, peanut butter and mint) It's nice you can get a little sweet fix with the energems. There are no palpitations or jitters when devouring these little gems. If you need your caffeine on the go, this is a perfect way to get it in without having to carry your cup of coffee or energy drink with you. This little box  fits in any purse. I personally do not care for coffee and prefer an energy drink. Sometimes it is just not appropriate to carry a huge energy drink with you especially at work. I have to be honest and say it was hard to only eat 3 gems at a time. I really wanted to eat the whole box. I have tries other alternative energy "treats" like a few types of gum (gross). Actually more than gross, it actually hits the gag reflex. These gems have no bitter flavor or after taste. 

You can purchase energems at convenience stores and online at energems.net.

Wantable.com Makeup Box Review



I have heard about Wantable.com for quite some time and have wanted to try out the box. Wantable has 3 options when you visit the site. There is the "Makeup Box", "Accessory Box", "Intimates Box" and for a limited time only the is the "Holiday Box". I was fortunate enough to try the "Makeup Box".

How does Wantable differ from other "Makeup" boxes? 
A detailed Style Quiz is given as soon as you join. It is not just a "What do you like" quiz. They ask everything from colors, textures and types of products you would "Want". For example if you do not want mascara or lipstick you can choose that you dislike it and it will not EVER be sent to you in any of your boxes. Another example is for blushes - do you like matte, shimmer, bright, cream, loose, etc. It is a very detailed quiz.

You will always get Full-Sized premium makeup products that are hand-picked for you based on your preferences from your style quiz. 

You can purchase a single Wantable box for $40 or subscribe for $36/month.


November Wantable Make-up Box:

I was very excited and surprised to see that the products were perfect for me. 

This travel Smudger brush from Japonesque is a sturdy and dense brush. I personally intend to use it to pack on my color to my eyelid, but this will fit perfectly to smudge out any color too.
$14








Starlooks single eyeshadow in "Pearl" is a great brow highlight color. It is also great as a base color too. This compact when opened has a mini mirror and applicator.
$12










 Color Club polish in "Baldwin Blues" is a bold blue jean color. 1-2 coats will be enough. It applies evenly and very opaque. This is actually one of my favorite Brand of polish.
$8


MichaelMarcus Lipstick in "Ann" happens to be my favorite item in the Wantable Box. This is a color I have been looking for as long as I have been wearing makeup. This lip color is my perfect nude. It is very creamy and glides on so easily. 
$24


Face Stockholm Concealer Stick in Medium. It is a peach/salmon color and works well under my eyes. The consistency is actually very creamy and very easy to blend. 
$19

 Skiin Instant tightener and line filler is the "extra" in the box. Apply to your areas of concern for fine lines to make then disappear. Apply this before your makeup.

Lancôme DreamTone Review




I was so excited to try out the Lancome DreamTone. I have a few areas of concern when it comes to Dark Spots. My hyperpigmentation started before my 3rd child. I was on birth control and the Dermatologist told me that he couldn't really do anything since the problem would continue to happen due to my long term use of birth control. With that said I decided to no longer use my birth control and well.... I have baby #3. 
Fast forward to post baby #3. I still have hyperpigmentation to my face and it is quite prominent, especially if I do not have makeup on. People tend to think I have been crying and my makeup is running down my face. I have always used a full coverage foundation to cover up my hyperpigmentation. Having something that will reduce my hyperpigmentation (dark spots) at home is a dream come true.


The scent is WONDERFUL. It has the "Lancome" scent you expect. Not too strong and just enough. The texture is so silky smooth to the skin. It has a beautiful silky sheen to it as well. One pump is all you need. 

I received the DreamTone in Medium.

I have been using the Lancome DreamTone for nearly 4 weeks day and night. I have noticed my dark spots lightening up slightly. I have never used a product so consistently, but wanted to for this to work its magic. It did not have the results I was expecting, but I have to say there is a sight difference. 

The spots are still there but not as large. 
I was hoping for a much more dramatic result. 
I will continue using it twice a day until I complete the bottle and will post more follow up pictures in the future.

  I received this product complimentary from SheSpeaks/Lancôme

Immortal Energy Review




The Immortal Energy is not the same thing as you would expect from any other "energy" supplement on the market. This is not going to make you jittery or have that "caffeine-like" effect. It is used when you are feeling the slowing down of the day and recommended to take during that down time. 

Here is what it says:
"Immortal Energy assists with muscular strength and endurance, increases in concentration and memory, has anti-inflammatory properties, regulates metabolism, enhances the immune system and wards off infections by assisting the skin to eliminate toxins." It is a blend of Chinese herbs that have been used in Chinese Medicine to restore your body's optimum state.

  





I have to say for me I did not notice any energy boost as I thought even though that is not what it claims to do, but I did notice an increase in my ability to focus and finish some tasks at work quite quickly. When done I said to myself "how the heck did I do that?" I usually stop and do other things and it takes me forever to finish doing one task that is very tedious.  
For example I do many record review and I often break and do something else to change the pace cause it can get quite boring. I actually did multiple record reviews and I think it was due to the Immortal energy. I was able to focus and organize myself while taking these for a few days. If you need to have something to help you focus and complete a task I think this will help.
