Eco Lips Review

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 25, 2010
in All Natural Products, Personal Care Products

I paid $1 to receive a full size lip balm and here is my review.

I got the Eco Lips SPF 15 Berry Lip Balm and liked it. It smelled really nice. It wasn’t as waxy as other lip balms, so that was nice. And plus this lip balm has sunscreen powers in it to protect your lips. And it did protect my lips.

I really liked that it is all organic, and has no dyes or synthetic ingredients. It was a nice lip balm. But I still like my all time favorite lip balm. And in my mind nothing can beat that lip balm. (I won’t say which lip balm) I have tried a lot of organic lip balms. And I think this one is probably my 3rd favorite out of all of them.

I encourage you to check out Eco Lips. And all of their other great products!

Udder Nature Product Review

in All Natural Products, Personal Care Products

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Thanks to Udder Nature for sponsoring this review.

Happy Camper Soap:

This soap is great for taking on summer vacation to keep bugs away! It is made of saponified olive andcoconut oils, goat milk, shea butter, castor oil, and essential oils. It feels very smooth on your skin and has a soft repellent smell like that of most bug sprays. I took it on vacation and my family and I all loved it. The bugs didn’t like the smell of it and stayed off for the most part. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a vacation to the woods!

Lemon Grass Soap:

If you love the smell of lemon, you will love this soap! It is made of saponified olive and coconut oils, goat milk, castor oil, and lemongrass essential oil. I used it to wash my hands and it gave them a fresh lemon scent. It’s great for using in the kitchen.

Citrus Fruits Soap:

This soap is my favorite of the three samples I tried. It is made of saponified olive and coconut oils, goat milk, orange, grapefruit, and essential oils. I loved the delicious smell of citrus fruits!

Product Review: John Masters Organics

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 18, 2010
in All Natural Products

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

John Masters Organics sent me the following product:

Evening Primrose Shampoo for Dry Hair: When I tried this shampoo I was pleasantly surprised at the smell (it smells SOOOO good!) and that my hair still smelled nice after 2 days! The shampoo didn’t make my head as itchy as other shampoos have in the past.

Lavender and Avocado Intensive Conditioner: This conditioner too smells really nice! And it made my hair sooo soft, and the funny thing is my long hair (down my mid-back) did not get a SINGLE tangle in my hair. My hair is so silky and soft after using this.

Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Wash: This body wash smells so nice and made my skin so soft. It however didn’t lather as nicely as other body washes.

Blood Orange and Vanilla Body Milk: This lotion smells really nice and made my skin soft. However do be careful should you buy this as the lotion can come out really fast!

John Masters Organics Bearberry Oily Skin Balancing Face Wash: After I used this my skin was really soft, and it helped take away a couple pimples. I will definitely consider buying this!

I really liked all their products and would probably buy them again in the future! All of John Master’s Organics smell really good.

Product Review: Natural Vines Licorice

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 15, 2010
in All Natural Products

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review, while I consider it a privilege to receive free product to review this is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

natural vines licorice

We had the privilege of receiving two packages of Natural Vines Licorice in the mail yesterday. Yummy!

Natural Vines (TM) brand licorice is a new line of premium gourmet licorice. It is made with only natural flavors and colors from natural sources. It is sweetened with molasses (the black licorice) and pure cane sugar. Natural Vines contains no trans or saturated fats, no high fructose corn syrup or preservatives, zero cholesterol and are very low in sodium. Natural vines is also a soft, chewy licorice.

My entire family really liked the red licorice, which is strawberry flavored. That was our favorite of the two. Although the black licorice left something to be desired, but hey, I’d eat the nine pieces to get 15% of my daily recommended iron! The licorice is very soft and chewy. Not at all tough to chew.

Personally, I found that the red licorice left a funny after-taste that I cannot quite describe, but none of the children mentioned experiencing it. It wasn’t necessarily bad, but it wasn’t good either. What a contradiction, I know, but I still ate the licorice and liked it. I just wish I knew why it did that to me because it wasn’t anything I ate before the licorice because both times I had some I had not eaten since the last meal. Only our 6 year old and our 2 year old liked the black licorice.

Natural Vines comes in a convenient 8 oz. resealable bag. Which is nice since you don’t need twist ties or resealable bags to restore them. This licorice is such a new product that it just became available in stores this month. Check the retailers page of Natural Vines Licorice to find a store near you carrying this all natural treat.

We love it that more companies are offering all natural snacks like Natural Vines. We love to buy all natural products and we recommend Natural Vines as a tasty, all natural snack/treat.

Product Review: Skin MD Lotion

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 7, 2010
in All Natural Products

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I received this lotion and was a bit skeptical about the fact that it is “supposed to get rid of dry skin problems” and found that it did help to get rid of my excema! Which I found to be very nice!

Skin MD Natural SPF 15 Formula: This is a lotion as well as a all natural Sun Screen. When my kids ( who ALWAYS get sun-burned) put this on one day well working for 2-3 hours at our garden we did not get burned so I was really impressed! This lotion is $25. Rather expensive but is worth it!

Skin MD Natural: I liked how soft this lotion made my hands feel. It made my legs and face soft too. Although it did not have the “wow” factor for me, it was a ok lotion though it just didn’t really do anything that another lotion couldn’t have done for me. It is $18.

Both lotions contain aloe vera and lots of great herbs! I liked both lotions. You may order the lotions here.

Product Review: Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio

Posted by Bobbie Gould on August 2, 2010
in All Natural Products, Eco Friendly Products, Fashion

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

The product that I received was:

Honeysuckle Shea Butter Soap: I like this soap as it had a really nice scent and I liked at how smooth it made my skin. It is $4.99 for a 4 oz. bar.

Mandarin Vanilla Shea Butter Soap: I think that this is my favorite scent out of all the soap. It smells so nice. It too makes my skin so soft. It is $4.99 for a 4 0z. bar.

Grapefruit Geranium Shea Butter Soap: This may say geranium but it is a more masculine scent I think that might be because of the grapefruit though! It was the most “sudsy” out of all the soaps that I received and it makes a really nice lather It is a nice smell just not as feminine as some of their other scents. It is $4.99 for a 4 oz. bar.

Honeysuckle After Shower Moisture Spritz: This moisturizer was very nice and it is a nice way to get your tan to glow It smells very flowery as well and is a pleasant way to get your lotion in if you don’t have any on hand and if you are traveling and forgot your lotion. It is $9.50 for a 8 oz. bottle.

Truest Rose Butter Creme: This lotion smell SO good it is hard to believe that it is all natural! The super rich Butter Creme’ Hand and Body Lotion it is made from Organic Macadamia Nut Oil, Shea Butter, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The lotion smells like fresh roses and made my skin so very, very soft. You don’t need to use alot to get soft hands though. I defiantly recommend this lotion. It is priced at $12.99 for a 8 oz. bottle.

Every product comes in 8 scents:
Tuscan Lavender
Truest Rose
Mandarin Vanilla
Winter Yuzu
Woodspice
Honeysuckle
Peaceful Patchouli
Grapefruit Geranium

I thought Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio had VERY nice packaging. It is a little hard to open though if you are like me and don’t like to “wreck” the packaging The packaging is done in pretty paper with their logo than tied with ribbon. It is a nice touch to Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio’s superior soap! Also all of their Shea butter soaps are made the old-fashioned way and add lots of super moisturizing Shea butter to ensure your skin will be soft and smooth. And, they are organic which is a plus!

I encourage you to check out http://blueridgegypsy.com/! Also if you cannot use fragrances than they have another company with the same products just not the sweet fragrances. Here it is: Skin Free

Enjoy your day!

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

Tribe_Classics_Classic

I received Tribe All Natural Hummus to review and having never tried hummus before was interested to see how it tasted. So when contacted by the PR person and sent my free hummus coupons, I decided to try the Tribe Classic and was pleasantly surprised at it’s taste! It had a nice smooth taste to it and all my children LOVED it! Even my 2 year old. It was delicious! We have gotten Tribe’s Hummus two more times since when I received it to review. It is wonderful with all natural chips. We love this hummus! Thanks Tribe!

Product Review! Mineral Cosmetics From Aroma Leigh

Posted by html404 on July 17, 2010
in All Natural Products

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

I received for review a sample package of 25 sample eyeshadow and 4 full sized eyeshadow from Aroma Leigh but I am just going to share with you 3 out of the 29 that I received! Normally I don’t wear eyeshadow but decided to this time since it has NO chemicals and I wanted to try it!

aromaleighinctutu

Tutu: This delicate light pink eyeshadow is very soft and is a nice shade when blended with Jewel. It has a soft pink violet plush matte base with a soft golden copper highlight. It is very sparkly! This collection was modeled after ballet colors.

jewel

Jewel: This color blends nicely with Tutu. It is very nice and one of my favorites! It is a cool purple with shimmers of coral gold contrasting the purply goodness. This collection was modeled after the famous botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas.

glowingluna

Glowing Luna: This collection was modeled after butterflys and I think that the name suits the colors don’t you? It is very shimmery color, and is a pigmented warm green yellow… or yellowish warm green? You choose. Sparks of copper and pink add an ethereal dimension. I LOVE this color!

And I bring this review to a close with some bad news, and good news. The bad news is that Aroma Leigh is closing. The good news is that she is offering us 35% off of everything in store and in stock! Here is the link.

KickinBerries

I three sample packages of KickinBerries Acai Antioxidant Stick packs in a giveaway that I entered a while ago. This review has just been sitting in my brain and in my drafts folder. Literally, I had a post titled and everything, just not written up!

kickinberry_acai_antioxidant_stick_packs

We all have heard how good antioxidants are for us. We also know that most of us consume way too much sugar and that sweet drinks are a big culprit. And, most of us would like to do something to kick this unhealthy habit. If you are seriously looking for replacement drinks, besides all natural fruit juices. You might want to consider KickinBerries.

Here is what the company has to say about their product:

The berries in our product are the berries that have the most antioxidants that help our body repair itself naturally.

KickinBerries, Great taste, low sugar, high antioxidant berry mix.

Read the nutritional value.

I actually only used a half a package for an 8 oz glass of water. It’s quite potent stuff. It really seems to have a pucker factor because of the sourness. It tasted fine with only a half a pack. I liked it. I didn’t receive enough to tell if it helped or made a difference. Nor have I managed to buy some. Just like the Belly bars.

This was something different to do a mini product review on in case anyone was looking for something like this for themselves.
