smack-dab into to a raspberry along the way..Lol..So, by now you're probably
asking yourself: 'What does a raspberry have to do with anything?'..Well,
hang on because I'm about to explain it..Now, in a previous review, I explained

so in this review I will explain Raspberry Ketones..


In collaboration with Summit Nutritions, I present to you the following 2 Dietary
Supplements: Pure Garcinia Cambogia and Raspberry Ketones..Read On

It seems as if my Citrus-fueled adventure in the world of skincare is off to a glowing
start :) Now, we know that Vitamin C can do the skin wonders but what about reducing
wrinkles and fine lines?! Well, I discovered just how much Vitamin C, when combined

In collaboration with Valentia Skincare, I present  Even Glow Serum w/20% Vitamin C.
Now for the lowdown on this bottled wonder..

Organic Sea Buckthorn Oil, Botanical Hyaluronic Acid,
Green Tea Extract and natural plant stem cells combine
together to absorb deep into the epidermal layers of the

skin's detoxifying and moisture retention ability, thereby
promoting an even complexion and a resilient skin texture.

And finally....

I absolutely loved this serum! It worked well to hydrate without causing excessive 

oil or leaving any build-up my skin. It also helped with brown spots caused by acne. 

Non-irritating & soothing to any dry areas that I do get because of the various acne 

treatments that I use. It also greatly reduced my fine lines. A 5-Star Product!

Garcinia Cambogia: A Fruit Rind Adventure

Hello My Darlings!,


Well, you're probably saying to yourselves, 'What in the world does Garcinia Cambogia
have to do with Beauty?!',..and my response to that is, 'Actually, in many ways, alot', so
allow me to explain what this rumored 'Weight-loss Wonder' is and what it supposed to
do vs. what it actually does..So let's start off by explaining what Garcinia Cambogia is..



Garcinia Cambogia is a tropical fruit that is better known as Tamarind Fruit. This fruit looks
alot like an acorn squash, with coloring ranging from bright green to pale yellow and is
found in Southeast Asia, India and Africa. (See Photo Below)

Garcinia Cambogia Fruit

It is used commercially for fish curing and also is reputed to activate digestion, when
used in cooking. It is also rumored to be a 'Weight Loss Miracle Pill'...Well, I was
brave enough to give it a try so let me give you the 'skinny' on this wonder fruit..




In collaboration with Life & Food Inc., I present to you Garcinia Cambogia Supreme..



Product:
Garcinia Cambogia Supreme 1400mg
(Photo; Right)




Milligrams: 1400 with 80% HCA (hydroxycitric acid)





What it is supposed to do:

Safely raise Serotonin*levels while reducing body fat and suppressing the appetite.

*Serotonin: The 'feel good' hormone



Now here was my experience with this product:  

Duration of Usage: 10 days

Dosage:
1 capsule, twice per day w/a full glass of water

Results: Loss of excess water weight..5 lbs

Side Effects:
None, except for slight dehydration due to
the loss of excess water weight.



**NOTE**

DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN THE BASIC RECOMMENDED DOSAGE OF 1 PILL
TWICE PER DAY!! Stay up on your water/Gatorade intake because you can become dehydrated very quickly.



Price: $21.97 per 180 count bottle


Where to buy: http://www.amazon.com/Grade-Garcinia-Cambogia-Extract-Supreme/dp/B00L06278G




Final Verdict:

Does it work? Yes-it can help tremendously reduce excessive water weight.

Does it burn fat? Toss-up..That has yet to be proven. But it did help curb any
cravings between meals.


My suggestion is to always consult your Doctor to see if this supplement or any other
supplements are right for you BEFORE you begin taking them.

Better to be safe than sorry.

**These results  from taking this supplement, were my own personal results, so
individual results will vary from person to person.**



So if you are curious as to what your personal results could/would be, and if you're
curiosity is peaked at all of the many supplements that Life & Food has to offer,
then by all means copy & paste the link in the 'Where to Buy Section' of this review
and check them out!

InstaNatural Vitamin C Moisturizer: Feel the soothing Power of Citrus!

Hello My Darlings!,



For the love of fruit, I swear!!! Ok, so I do have an everlasting affinity with Lemons,
Oranges or anything in the Citrus category and not just because they do the insides of
our bodies/immune systems good, but whoever thought that an immune-boosting
vitamin could actually moisturize?

I must say that I had my doubts until I got the awesome opportunity to try a product
that does exactly that..and guess what..It was loaded with Vitamin C!..LIES!!-my
mind screamed, I was so wrong..Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can repair and help
purge damaging chemicals from the skin..


In collaboration with InstaNatural Skincare, I proudly present to you, Youth Express
Vitamin C Moisturizer. Now here's the lowdown..



Product: Youth Express Vitamin C Moisturizer

(Photo: Right)



Pros:
Contains Vitamin C, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil,
Niacinamide, Botanical Plant cells and
Hyaluronic Acid that combine together to
protect, rejuvenate and repair damage to the
skin caused by exposure to the Sun, UV rays,
hard water and harsh chemicals. Leaves skin
supple, smooth and hydrated without being
greasy. Promotes even skintone and helps
eliminate brown spots, acne & fine lines
and wrinkles. Non pore-clogging.
Safe for all skin types,


Cons: None






Usage/Longevity:
Apply to a freshly washed face/neck.
Only a small amount is needed so 'a little
dab will do it'...





Price:$19.25 ~3.4 Oz Bottle



Where to Buy: http://www.InstaNatural.com




My Verdict: Awesome! Love It! This moisturizer goes right into the skin without leaving
a greasy residue. It also works great on other parts of the body such as the feet and hands.


Now for the before & after pics...

Duration of product use: 7 Days

Before Vitamin C Moisturizer

After Vitamin C Moisturizer

And here is the finished result (no photoshop was used in any of these pics)

I have an eternal battle with acne/brown spots because my skin type is extremely oily and
it is very sensitive so I do have to be careful when using any product on my skin, but I can
honestly say that this moisturizer has awesome healing properties due in big part to the
Vitamin C. A 5-Star Product!


If you want to experience the moisturizing power of Vitamin C, then by all means copy &

Zink Color Glitter:..A Rainbow of Sparkles

Hello My Dearest Ones!,



Yes, my obsession with glitter has returned..(Sigh) But I just can't seem to help myself
when it comes to getting my sparkle on..The glamour..the glitz..the shimmery-shine
of the plethora of colors that light up my world like 8 million light-bulbs that have all
been turned on at the same time!!..Ok, ok..whew..I got carried away, but anyways
these particular glitters are by no means 'ordinary', so allow me to enlighten you on
these jars of sparkly joy..


In collaboration with Zink Color Cosmetics, I proudly present to you Zink Color's Multi-purpose Face & Body Glitter..and now for the sparkly details..





Product: Zink Color Multi-Purpose Face & Body Glitter
(Photo;Right)


Available Color(s): 34


Pros:
Cosmetic Grade, long-lasting, non-irritating,
multi-faceted shimmer, ideal for adding to body
lotions, nail polish, & lip gloss, safe for sensitive skin
and sensitive eyes


Cons: None


*How to use on eyes:

You will need a gel medium in order for this to stay put on your eyelids-
I use a clear gel adhesive but any clear, silver or white glitter gel eyeliner
will work. Spread over surface of the eyelid and wait 10 seconds, then
apply glitter in small amounts overtop of eyelid, wait 10-20 seconds before
blinking to prevent creasing, gently brush away any fallout.




Price: $4.99/5 g jar

Where to Buy:http://zinkcolor.com/glitter/zink-color-multi-purpose-glitter-brilliance-pro-vibrant-red.html




Now for pics..



Here are the products in their jars..

L to R: 3D Silver, Vibrant Red, Emerald Green, Black

And here are the looks..

Vibrant Red-It looks orange on camera but in person it looks Red

3D Silver

My Verdict: Love It! 5-Star Multi-Use Body Glitter, without a doubt! It never irritated
my eyes or my skin and the color stayed fabulous all day long and the beautiful jars
that these glitters come in, are just gorgeous too.


So if you want indulge yourself in a myriad of sparkling delights, then by all means
copy & paste the link in the 'Where to Buy' section of this review and lose yourself
in the glittery world of ZinkColor :)..
