Colowlful Eco Friendly Color Pencils

I'm planning on getting some good quality adult coloring books so I was excited to get these eco friendly color pencils. The box is really cute and is of similar style of packaging as regular color pencils out there.

The 24 color pencils are all of vibrant colors, well at least the color of the pencils. It takes a lot of work pressing down on the pencils to make the color show or get as close to what it should actually look like. Make sure you are coloring on a hard surface, I would recommend on a table instead of on top of a notebook or something similar. You don't really get the best results if you color on a notebook because when you're pressing down it causes an indent on the sheet you're coloring and the color doesn't show as much either.

Since you have to press down so hard to get any color, you will run into the occasion of a pencil lead breaking. This happened to me twice, the very tip of the lead and the bottom of the lead where the lead meets the wood part of the pencil. I tried sharpening the second pencil that broke and it kept breaking each time. I've ran into this kind of situation before with regular color pencils also so this wasn't something shocking. There's a lot of lead pigment from pressing down hard with the pencil, so try not to brush it off your paper with your hand since it might smear and ruin your work. I just blow it off the sheet.

As a side note, you can't really layer colors with these color pencils. (See the 2nd and 3rd triangles in photo below). I tried to do that when one of the lighter color pencils didn't show up. The darker shade only sort of showed on top, but it was not as pigmented as it would have been if it was applied on paper directly.

On the back of the box, you can find the brand's website where you can download and print some pages to color.

Overall, I'm a little disappointed with these eco friendly coloring pencils. Considering that they are eco-friendly and the colors are of some nice shades I would give these a 4 out of 5 stars.

Majestic Bombay Stainless Steel Tweezer for ingrown hair

This tweezer is extremely sharp so be extremely careful when you are using or just simply holding it. There is a plastic cover for the tip so if you keep that you'll be able to safely store this tweezer without having to worry about accidentally poking yourself.

I really like how wide the handle is where your fingers should be placed, it really makes a difference! All the tweezers I own have a slim handle so my hand gets cramped easily. Not only that, the wider handle in the center makes it easier to hold onto, which makes me feel a lot safer when using it.

I've used this to remove ingrown hair strands on my sister's legs and it does work. What I like to do is hold the tweezer at a slight angle and kind of scratch at the ingrown hair to get the hair strand out. I wouldn't recommend holding this tweezer at a 90 degree angle directly over the ingrown hair because it's a little hard to determine how deep the tips of the tweezer are going into the skin. I definitely would not feel comfortable using this anywhere near my eyes so I highly suggest that you don't use it near your eyes.

BRINOX Soft Grip Scissors

The BRINOX Soft Grip Scissors are made of stainless steel blades. The handle is dark blue and the inside of the finger and thumb holes are teal. 

There is a silicone type of padding on the inside of the finger and thumb holes. The padding here provides a nice grip for your fingers and thumb. There have been situations in the past when I would use scissors without any grip pads to cut out letters for projects and end up with a sore hand. I have yet to use these scissors for big projects like that. So far I have used these scissors for simple tasks of cutting sheets of paper only. The blades are sharp, requiring little effort to give you crisp clean cuts.

Pure Body Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask

The Pure Body Naturals Dead Sea Mud Mask comes in an 8.8 fl. oz plastic jar with an aluminum screw lid. Once you open the aluminum lid, there is a plastic lid on the inside. I kept that just for sanitary reasons and to make sure no air gets in to dry out the mud. The Dead Sea mud is a dark gray color. I was surprised to find that the jar was actually filled to the top because there have been several times when you open a new jar or bag of something only to be disappointed that it is half or a third filled with product only.

I really like the fact that this mud mask is in a jar, it really makes it easier to get the product out. I've purchased other kinds of masks before that were packaged in squeeze tubes. It seems like a good idea for them to be in tubes, but it gets really hard to squeeze the mask out later on when you start to run low on product. The mud is very smooth when it is applied on the face.

On the jar it states that you should leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes until it dries. Because I put the mask on a little thicker, I waited for over an hour actually. I probably could have waited longer since the mask wasn't completely dry. However, even with the masks I've used before I never had to wait for over an hour to dry completely. Unlike the masks I've used in the past, this one doesn't change to a lighter color when it's dry. The dried mask doesn't flake off when you run your hand lightly over it. If you rub it though, it does come off. This is good for those who are concerned about clogging their drains. I ended up doing this over the sink and then just wiped up those clay pieces.

Flight Wipes Anti-Bacterial Wipes for Travel Way to Fly!

There are 6 packs in this bundle of Flight Wipes Anti-Bacterial Wipes for Travel Way to Fly! Each pack has 15 wipes in it, which makes it a total of 90 wipes. The product name can be a little misleading as it states "pack of 6, 90 total wipes."

These packs are small enough to fit in a purse, backpack, big pocket, etc. for cleaning on the go. Based on the product description by the seller and on the package, this is for external use only (see picture below). So I would think it's okay to use to clean your hands also. Each pack is resealable as typical of these types of products.

The wipes are of a decent size, large enough for sanitizing table top, arm rest, seats, toys, etc. I personally felt like the wipes were not moist enough so you would have to use another one for whatever you are cleaning.

Zilu 6400 mAh Premium Power Portable Charger

This review is on the 6400 mAh Premium Power Portable Charger External Battery Pack. This is a portable charger for cell phones. It arrived with a Micro USB cord in a neatly packaged box with a small pamphlet including instructions to charge, use, and safety precautions. The charger has a power button, a USB port and micro USB port, and 4 LED status lights. The LED lights indicate the amount of charge left for the portable charger. The first initial charge is suppose to take 8 hours, however, it took less than that for me. I'm not sure exactly how long it took because I didn't really keep track of the time that well and I unplugged it in the middle of charging to go run an errand.

I definitely do get more charges out of this portable charger compared to a 3000 mAh one I already had. For those who are not familiar with what mAh means, like myself, it basically refers to how much battery power the unit or item can hold. So the higher the number, the longer the battery will last. Which makes sense that this 6400 mAh lasts longer than my 3000 mAh portable charger.

This portable charger doesn't get too hot while charging my phone at all. It feels warm to the touch only, whereas my phone gets pretty hot-pretty normal even when I charge it by electrical outlet. As of the size, this 6400 charger is slightly bulkier than my 3000 one that is similar to a lip gloss tube. They both weigh about the same also.

This Zilu portable charger definitely lived up to my expectations. It charges my phone quickly and still has enough juice to charge again 2 times. I recommend this portable charger for those who are frequently on the go and for travelers.

28 Day Moroccan Teatox Detox

This was my first time trying out any kind of detox tea before so I was pretty excited. I've seen and heard all the rave about detox teas from friends and strangers on Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook. When I received my package, I was surprised to see that there were two items: the Moroccan Teatox 28 Day and the Moroccan Teatox Night Cleanse. I was only expecting the 28 Day pack and thought that there was an error. It seemed like others who have reviewed this detox tea on Amazon also received the Night Cleanse package also.

The two packages arrived in a sealed clear plastic bag inside the shipment box. The tea packages are paper with a silver lining on the inside. I'm not sure what this silver lining is, plastic or aluminum perhaps. I couldn't find a slip of paper for directions in this plastic bag nor on the teatox packaging either. There was however the website for this company on the front of the 28 Day package, www.moroccanteatox.com that I referred to. While it may seem pretty obvious how you just simply steep the tea for a few minutes, I wanted more details since this was my first time trying out detox tea.

Before you even open the package, you can smell the mint and what I assume is hibiscus. It smells amazing! The tea bags are square shape, about the size of my palm. I was glad that this detox tea was in tea bags because a majority of the detox tea pictures and videos I've seen were of loose leaf detox tea and I don't have a tea strainer. There are 28 of the detox tea bags and 14 of the night cleanse tea bags. Based on the information that I found on the website, while you drink the 28 Day detox tea in the morning, the Night Cleanse tea is for every other night.

You only need to steep the tea bag for about 3 minutes, but you can leave it in the hot water longer if you want. The color of the tea is similar to a shade of cranberry juice. The tea tastes mildly sweet, which was great for me because I do not like teas that require sugar due to being too strong. The sweetness comes naturally from stevia as it is listed as part of the herbs in the tea. The Night Cleanse tea tastes just as good as the 28 Day one!

ArtNaturals Enhanced Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluranic Acid

This Vitamin C Serum comes in a glass dropper bottle. There was a plastic safety wrap on the lid, which was reassuring that it was not opened. I was expecting this serum to be more of an oil/gel base, but it is actually liquid. I haven't ventured too far into the facial serum world so I guess there are liquid based serums also.

The liquid is slightly tinted orange. There is a noticeable acidic scent when you smell the bottle and when applying the serum on, it's not overwhelming. After cleaning my face and neck, I apply this Vitamin C serum and then continue on with my usual skincare routine. This serum does not leave a greasy feeling at all and it soaks quickly into the skin.

I've been using the same products as I was prior to this serum and my skin has not been aggravated at all. I haven't had any acne breakout that's out of the norm for me, in fact I am noticing less acne on my face. This is saying something for my skin because I noticed this after the first few days I tried out this serum. I don't really have any prominent wrinkles on my face yet, so I can't say if this helps reduce wrinkles. I also noticed that my acne scars are starting to lighten up. Usually it takes over a week for my scars to fade away! Lastly, this Vitamin C serum does not sting if you apply it over a scab or popped pimple. I will definitely continue using this Vitamin C serum in my facial skincare routine to improve my skin!

AZSPORT Waist Trimmer Belt

Before I purchased this AZSPORT Waist Trimmer belt, I saw that it was pretty common for people to do waist training - celebrities, models, and average amazing people. My first thought was that these waist trainer belts were some kind of torture device that would mess up your organ systems due to prolong wear and fainting like back in the old days when women wore corsets. I've never tried a waist trainer belt or anything of that sort before so I was a little hesitant to purchase this. I figured I would give it a shot since I could use some help with getting rid of my muffin top.

This belt in particular is fabric with a velcro piece on one end. I'm not sure what kind of fabric this belt is made of, but it is very soft and has some stretch to it. The velcro fibers are short so it doesn't ruin the fabric when you pull it off. The belt arrived with the velcro piece on the fabric already. It was a little difficult pulling the two pieces apart for the first time. Over time it does get easier to pull the velcro piece off so it won't be that big of a problem. The belt is one size only and can fit up to 50 inch waist. I was able to wrap the belt around my waist about 1.5 times excluding the velcro piece. I think the thing with waist trainer belts or corsets is that you are not suppose to wear them too tight, especially if you are planning to wear them for a long time. I wore mine so it felt like it was a little bit more of a snug tightness feeling. It is very comfortable when wearing this AZSPORT Waist Trimmer belt.

I've been wearing my waist trimmer belt for several days now while sitting and just walking around the house. I haven't tested it outside of the house yet or when exercising. Since I haven't been very active, I have not noticed much of a difference as of decrease in waist size. I do notice a warm sensation around my waist when I wear the belt. So I guess this is sign that it's working since "ab sauna" is noted in the item title on Amazon. I will definitely be incorporating this belt more when I work out and while just staying at home.

I received this item for free to test for my honest and unbiased opinion.
