Love, Life and Appreciation: June 2014

I applied to review the Nutravia Turmeric Curcumin Supplement on Tomoson, for my mother who has pain in her knees.I did not try the supplements because I am nursing my daughter. I saw that turmeric can help to ease inflammation in the joints and also provides for a lot of antioxidants. I was happy when I got the email that I was approved to review the product and shipment of the product was very fast and easy. The product's description on Amazon states:

Rest Assured We use Zero Fillers/Binders/Preservatives/Artificial Ingredients to Provide Our Customers the Cleanest Turmeric Supplment We Can.
Standardized 95% Curcuminoids (the KEY Ingredients). We are NOT Selling Root Powder, but Instead More Concentrated Curcuminoids.
120 Turmeric Capsules in Each Bottle for 2-3 Months Supply.
Clean & Pure: NO Stearates, NO Silicone Dioxide, NO Titanium Dioxide

I liked that the supplements are clean and pure and they seem to offer great benefits. The bottle is big and there are 120 capsules in the bottle that are good for a 2 to 3 month supply. In total my mom only took 3 supplements. One supplement each for 3 days. She liked how the supplements were easy to swallow and did not leave a foal after taste. However she said she didn't really feel much of a difference taking them and that she felt like she had to use the bathroom more. I feel as though these supplements still might do what they say, though she didn't try it long enough. I will try this supplements when I stop nursing, which will probably be about 3 months from now. The supplements should still be good by then. I'm looking forward to getting more antioxidants and helping my heart and liver. Overall, my mother thinks the product is OK. She thinks she might just had a not so good side effect to taking the supplement. Currently on Amazon the product retails for $29.99.

I wrote a review on the Adovia Dead Sea Mud Shampoo, about three weeks ago. Well here that shampoo's counterpart. I was very happy to see the conditioner on the Tomoson website not long after I had received the shampoo to review. I was happy because I was pleased with the results of the shampoo and was anxious to try the conditioner. I applied to test the product and was approved. Not long after that I ordered the conditioner, which shipped fairly quickly.

The conditioner's product description on Amazon states:

Made with Real Dead Sea Salt - 100% Pure and Genuine for an infusion of 21 Minerals Essential to Proper Skin and Hair Function.
Leaves Hair Looking Hydrated, Healthy and Silky.
Helps to Reduce the appearance of Dandruff and Dry, Flaky Scalp.
Aloe Vera Deeply Nourishes the Scalp and Hair - Hydrating it from Within.
WE SELL OUT FAST - Get it soon before we run out again. We try to produce this item as fast as we can. Dead Sea Salt contains more than 21 skin and hair rebuilding minerals such as magnesium, calcium, sulfur, bromide, iodine, sodium, zinc and potassium.

The conditioner came in the same size as the shampoo, 7.4 fl oz. The conditioner is a white creamy color and is of semi-thick constancy. The smell of the conditioner is more what hit me first and it is much stronger than the shampoo. The scent is an earthly scent and smells like minerals and salt. I found the scent to be very pleasant. The conditioner lathered very well and felt very soothing on my scalp. After washing the conditioner out of my hair, after about 7 minutes, my hair felt very soft and more manageable. My hair also looked shiny. Overall, I was very happy with this product. It leave such a nice scent after drying. I got compliments about it! Currently on Amazon, the conditioner retails for $18.75.

I received the Pure & Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask for review about three weeks ago. According to the website:

"The Dead Sea mud mask is laden with over 21 essential minerals from the Dead Sea. Each one is highly-renowned for its skin healing properties. While the mud mask does it job of deep cleansing, drawing out excess oils, impurities and toxins for an anti-aging effect, the organic essential oils keep your skin naturally hydrated, adding a softness and glow to your complexion."

The shipping was very quick and the amount of product is 6 ounces. The mask itself is a dark greenish color. It is thick. There is a strong smell of minerals to the mask. It's not a foal scent by any means but it is strong. I would suggest applying a thin layer of the mask. When I first applied the mask it was more of a thick layer and I was over come with the scent of the mask. It was easy to smooth the mask out. I left the mask on for about 10 minutes, during that time the sensation had reduced and the mask had hardened. Washing the mask off was relatively easy and I was very pleased with how clean my face felt. I could feel my face tingling for minutes after using the mask as well.

Since receiving this mask, I've used it only once a week. I have noticed more smoothness in my face and I feel that it's helping my acne more each time I use it. Like I was saying in the beginning, I would suggest using a thin amount. A little really does go a long way. Overall, I am happy with this product. I love that it is organic and natural and that it leaves my face feeling very deep cleaned. It's like a breath of free air each time, I've used it. Currently the mask retails on Amazon for $29.44.

I received Nature's Best Vitamin C Serum for review about two weeks. I applied to review the product on Tomoson. I had heard of Vitamin C helping to fade dark spots. I still have acne, though not as much as when I was a teen. I still have scars however from previous acne flare ups. The product listing on Amazon states that the product is:

Clinically Test and Proven to Stimulate Collagen, Reversing the Effects of Aging.
This is the Highest Quality Vitamin C Serum Available on the Market, Guaranteed to Work.
Our Serum will remove Toxins & create Collagen, Diminishing fine Lines & Wrinkles.
Organic Ingredients make this product Perfect for all Skin types, dry, oily, sensitive.
Manufactured in the U.S.A by our Top of the Line FDA Certified Cosmetic Lab.

The serum itself is a C + E Hyaluronic Acid. The shipment of the serum was very fast. The product was full sized at 1 fl oz. It comes with a dropper which is easy for dispersing the product. The serum itself is a cloudy color is thin in texture. A little goes along way with the serum. I only disperse about 1/4 of the serum to my face which is a very small potion using the dropper. The serum feels refreshing on the face and very rejuvenating. I didn't not feel any stinging or any discomfort when using the product. I don't have any wrinkles but I have seen my face became a little bit more firm. Absorption of the product was fast. I've also noticed my dark spots becoming more faded. Overall, I'm happy with the serum and will continue to use it, especially to help get my acne spots more faded. I'd really excited to see the results with future use of the product.

Currently the serum retails for $17.95 on Amazon.

To find out more about the serum, check the product listing on Mystelic website.
