Chalkmaster 8 Color Neon Chalk Marker Set

I have been reviewing products for about two months and this is definitely one of my favorites. These markers bring out my inner child. These markers have so much potential. Yesterday I used them to write on my car windows. My sister just got her temps and she made some people a little angry as it was her first time on the road. I used these markers to warn other drivers that she was new. I also used these markers to leave messages on my interior mirrors for my husband.

Chalk Markers

Each marker tip has two sides. There is a chiseled side and a round side. To my surprise he chiseled end produces a much thicker line than the round end. The markers do come with 2 extra tips but it would be nice if there was a replacement tip for each marker. I have only used these markers a couple of times and the tips are already showing signs of wear and tear.

Chalk Markers

These markers produce very vivid colors and they look best on glass surfaces. When writing on my interior mirrors I got some of the marker on the walls but it was easily cleaned off with water. I waited a week to clean the mirror and wall and it still came off very easily. My orange and yellow markers also ran a lot but that could have been a result of over shaking the marker. Also, the markers are a little difficult to recap and they have to be placed just right to fit back into the box. Finally, I think that the name "chalk" marker is misleading. When I think of chalk I think of writing on the sidewalk. I would definitely not use these markers on the sidewalk. I received this product for free in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.

Wine Chiller Wine Pourer and Winde Aerator

I've never been much of a wine drinker but I've been on a wine kick lately. I am still a newbie but I have done some research and product testing. This particular product is a wine chiller, pourer and aerator. I love the concept of this product but it did cause me some issues. I used Barefoot and Sutter Home wine to test this product.

Usually when I plan on drinking a glass of wine I keep the wine stored in the fridge. Then I hold the bottle as high as I can (without spillage) while pouring the wine into the glass to aerate the wine. My method works but it's not the best.

Wine Chiller, Pourer and Aerator

When I received this product I immediately pulled out the chiller rod and placed it into the freezer for later use. My first attempt at using this product was horrendous but it was due to user error. DO NOT FORGET to remove a small portion of the wine from the bottle before inserting the product. I can't stress this enough as I made this mistake twice! Hopefully you will have more common sense than I did.

I tried pouring warm wine through the chiller but it didn't make the wine any colder. The chiller only keeps cold wine chilled. It does not chill warm wine. The chiller also doesn't work very well if the bottle isn't full because the rod is too short.

Wine Chiller, Pourer and Aerator

I was very cautious when I next attempted to pour a couple of glasses of wine for the first time. I learned that if you tilt the bottle too much the product will come out making a huge mess. Be sure to secure the product in the bottle as much as possible to avoid this problem. The spout also pours extremely slow. It takes much longer to fill a glass using this product.

The only impressive aspect is the aerator. As a new wine enthusiast I have learned that aerating the wine is supposed to improve the taste of the wine. However, I didn't notice much of a change in taste. Also the aerator ins't necessary. One can easily aerate wine by swirling the wine around the glass or simply leaving the bottle unopened for one-half hour.

Tantino® Flat Top Sunglasses Retro Designer Square Gradient Lens Black Frame

These sunglasses make a statement. One definitely has to have a personality that can own this look. I have tried to wear these sunglasses as much as possible to be able to provide a detailed review but it has been challenging. It may be that I am 24 and out of touch with what is in style. However, my 16 year old sister wouldn't wear them. I have not received a single compliment. Everyone I have spoke to has questioned my taste in sunglasses. My biggest issues is that they cover too much of my face.

Tantino Retro Sunglasses

If you can handle the unique look of the glasses they are actually perfectly functional.The quality isn't great but it's also not the worst I've seen. The frames seem pretty sturdy and have held up despite being kept in my purse. They do come with a high quality protective storage pouch.

Tantino Retro Sunglasses

I am a fan of the lens color. The lenses are very very dark and perfect for blocking out the bright sun. The color also fades toward the bottom. I plan to wear them all day tomorrow during a trip to the zoo because they are the darkest glasses I own. Overall I will wear them for function but not style.

Azure Naturals - ULTIMATE Peptide Eye Gel

I'm a huge fan of Azure Naturals as I have used and reviewed several of their products. Why do I love Azure Naturals products? Because their products work! Also all of their products are cruelty free (not tested on animals) and made only with the best natural and certified organic ingredients.

This particular product harnesses the power of peptides. But what does this mean for those who haven't studied biology since high school? According to LIVESTRONG.COM, peptides are the number one ingredient to search for when selecting skin care products. This is because they can penetrate deep into the skin and improve the appearance of the skin from the inside out.

The peptides found in this Peptide eye gel include Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, and a silk amino acid blend. These peptides are not an instant cure for aging. Instead they fight aging long term by stimulating the production of collagen.  This is why it will take up to 6 months to see the maximum benefits from this peptide gel.

Azure Naturals-Peptide Eye Gel

Now for my personal experience with this gel. I have incorporated this eye gel into my daily skin care routine for the last two weeks. Morning and evening I have been following the routine that is recommended by Azure Naturals.

Step 1: I clean my skin with a mild cleanser
Step 2: I exfoliate my skin with a store brand facial scrub. The manufacturer recommends only      exfoliating 3 times a week if you are under the age of 30.
Step 3: I apply toner and allow it to dry.
Step 4: I apply a thin layer of Azure Naturals Ultimate Vitamin C Serum and allow it to dry.
Step 5: I apply this Peptide Eye Gel to my entire face.

Azure Naturals-Peptide Eye Gel

In the two weeks that I have been using this product I have only noticed a minimal improvement in the appearance of my skin. But, don't let that deter you! As I mentioned earlier it can take up to 6 months to achieve maximum benefits. In fact, I would be disappointed if I saw an instant improvement because I would know it would only be temporary.

I used this gel all over my face because I have acne scars and a general red appearance to my facial skin. I am happy to say the gel has not clogged my pores and made my acne worse. I do not recommend this if you wan't to use this product daily and make it last. About an inch of the bottom of the container is solid which means the size of the container is misleading. There is only 1 oz of product in the container. However, a little does go a log way.

The gel itself is very smooth and easy to apply. It is lightweight and dries very quickly. I recommend storing the gel in the fridge. This doesn't improve the effectiveness of the product but it does provide a fresh, cooling sensation when applied. If you are not satisfied with your results Azure Naturals offers a 100%, 365-day, no hassle, money back guarantee. However, if you give this gel time to work
I'm sure you'll be happy. I received this product for free in exchange for a honest and unbiased review. My opinions are my own and I am not obligated to give a good review.

12-in-1 Headband [ABX]

Ok...I have to admit, this product is a little strange. I originally ordered this headband because I wanted something to keep sweat from dripping into my face. Especially during this time of year, I needed something to use while gardening. The headband is very functional for my purposes but it also has many other uses. This is what makes this product so unique. According to the manufacturer this headband gives wearers 10 different choices. Their description on Amazon says 12 but the instruction only describe 10. I will list these below:

1. Pirate Cap
2. Pound Cap
3. Hair Band
4. Fillet
5. Headband
6. Eared Cap
7. Dessert Cap
8. Cuff
9. Respirator
10. Scarf

I have tried all 10 but my favorite were the headband and respirator while my husband chose the pirate cap. As I mentioned earlier, I ordered this product to initially wear as a headband and it works great for this purpose. It's made from 100% premium microfiber which makes it comfortable and sweat wicking. ABX headbands are so confident in their products that they offer a lifetime warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee. The best part of this product is that this headband is less than $10!

Tear Stain Remover for Dogs and Cats

I had no idea a product like this exists before I came across it on Amazon. I am a very proud owner of a Siberian Husky named Shadow. I also have a cat named Kitty Kat. I know, super original. Both of my pets have mild tear stains so I decided to give this product a try. Both of my pets have what I call "eye boogies" which I remove on a daily basis. My dog is a lot more cooperative than the cat.

Tear Stain Remover

The cat has more prominent tear stains compared to the dog. So I first tried this product on her. I had to hold her down because she doesn't like me touching the area around her eyes. I made sure to shake the bottle and then I applied a small amount to a plain paper towel. I then wiped from each tear duct down a couple of times. The product didn't cause any irritation or side-effects, she just wasn't comfortable with the process. I have repeated this process for the last 7 days and I have noticed less stains and matted fur around the eyes. My dog didn't have any problem with me applying the product. His stains are not as bad so I have only been applying the product once every other day. I have also noticed an improved on his fur around the eyes.

Tear Stain Remover

My favorite part about this product is that it is 100% natural. I love both of my pets dearly and would never expose them to harmful chemicals. There is no fragrance and no nasty preservatives such as sulfates, phosphates or parabans. The product is also very easy to apply. The bottle holds 8 ounces so it will last for a very long time. I will warn you to store this product upright and make sure the lid stays on tight. I got some of the liquid on the outside of the bottle and it is now very very sticky.
