NIP+FAB Viper Venom Extreme Night Fix Review

I purchased NIP + FAB VIPER VENOM EXTREME NIGHT FIX from Ulta when it was on sale. I decided to purchase this product after reading some of the reviews and the claims. The products claims that it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, retextures the skin, provide a plumping effect and a youthful glow while you sleep.

I added this cream to my night time routine right after I cleansed and applied toner to my face. The cream is lightweight and quickly absorbed into the skin, however it was not moisturizing at all. I wanted to give this product the benefit of the doubt and used up the whole container, but I did not see any changes or improvements to my skin.

Unfortunately, I am off to the next product to see if I can find my holy grail. Well at least it gives me a chance to try another product.

Dog Harness and Pet Lease by Humgfeng Review

I ordered the dog harness and pet leash by Hungfeng in the color blue and in the size small. After initial inspection of the product, I made sure that everything snapped correctly and that the snap hook for the leash would fit the harness. Once inspected, I proceeded to try it on my chihuahua and adjusted the fit so that it fit her perfectly. The harness was easy to snap on and the leash was easy to attach to the harness. While walking, the harness seemed comfortable on her and she did not seem to be restricted or uncomfortable. The wrist strap around the leash makes it comfortable for me to use on our long walks. The leash material seems durable for long time use and well suited for the job. Overall, I really love the harness as it is comfortable for long walks and my pet doesn't seem to mind the harness.

Grillite Barbecue Mats Review

The Grillite Barbecue Mats comes in a two piece 13" x 15" set and at first the mats seem kind of flimsy, but once I read the instructions and waited for the flames to go down on the grill, it was the perfect size to cover half of the grill. To test it out, I placed some marinated chicken breasts over the mats and a couple over the regular grill to compare the two. The temperature of the grill was 350 degrees which is well below the recommended 500 degrees. I sprinkled the chicken with some lemon and closed the grill for approximately twenty minutes.  I then opened the grill to turn the chicken breasts over and was pleased to see that the chicken that was placed on the grill mats retained their moisture compared to the ones that were over the grill. I then sprinkled some more lemon juice and closed it for another twenty minutes. Overall the grill mats performed better than expected, the chicken was tender and juicy while still having that mesquite grill flavor. After the grill had cooled down, I removed the grill mats and cleaned it with warm soapy water and stored it flat over the kitchen counter in order to preserve its shape. I would strongly recommend this grill mats for cooking white meats, fish and vegetables. It is easy to use and it is easy to clean while providing a smooth non sticky surface, all in all this product is above average for it flexibility and ease of  use.

Fogless Shower Mirror by JiBen Review

The fogless shower mirror by JiBen is easy to use. You just take it out of the box and place it on your bathroom mirror or wall. The suction cup keeps the mirror in place and since the mirror can rotate 360 degrees, you can position it to wherever you want it. The little hook on the bottom is great to keep your disposal razor. My husband uses this mirror in the morning while taking his shower. He really loves it since it doesn't get foggy while he uses it. This item does exactly what it states and doesn't take that much room. This would be a great gift for any guy in your life.

Copper Compression Comfort Gloves Review

I ordered these copper compression comfort gloves because of the pain I have in my right hand and wrist when I type on the computer all day. The gloves fit perfectly and they provide relief to my hand. I prefer these because the gloves are thin, give comfort and I do not feel anything which is good. I have another compression glove that is too thick and is uncomfortable and I truly prefer these over those.

Bombee Honey Mask by Papa recipe Review

I love sheet masks! I tend to use different sheet masks throughout the week depending on how my face feels that day. I received the #bombee Honey Mask by #paparecipe from @0.8l_usa and I absolutely loved it. This #sheetmask has so much essence in it that when I opened it up some of the essence came out. Unlike other sheet masks that I have previously used, the sheet mask was on a white thin plastic film and I had to peel off the sheet mask from it. Then I placed the sheet mask onto my thoroughly dry cleansed face. The face mask fit perfectly over my face and gave off a slight hint of honey. The fragrance is not overpowering and was relaxing. I then poured all of the extra essence from the package and padded it onto my neck and rubbed it into my hands. I left the sheet mask on for approximately thirty minutes and peeled off the sheet mask. I then gently tapped the essence into my skin. My skin felt so soft and moisturized. Upon looking at myself in the mirror, my face looked dewy, hydrated and refreshed. If you love sheet masks then you should try this.  #paparecipe #maskpack #bombee #skincare #sheetmask #08L

Remembering The Kanji I: A Complete Course On How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James W. Heisig Review

I decided to wipe the dust off of Remembering The Kanji I: A Complete Course On How Not To Forget the Meaning and Writing of Japanese Characters by James W. Heisig. When I first purchased the book over a year ago, I was able to study a chapter a day without forgetting the kanji, but once I got to until about chapter 35. After that it took me approximately one day to remember one, two or maybe three kanji characters a week and I just became exhausted. I just couldn't see the end.

Well, I decided to start studying from chapter one again and found out that I had forgotten some of the kanji characters. In order for me to stay focused on trying to remember the kanji, I have decided not to try to rush through it so quickly.

I also signed up with Memrise and Kanji Koohii!  to help with my learning. Both sites offer free online flashcards which keeps me from having to use my handmade ones.

If you are interested in seeing if this book is right for you, you can checkout the pdf file. It has 294 kanji and gives you a format of how this book is written.

Upward Spiral Tea Infuser w/ CLIP SPOON Review

I was surprised at how big this tea infuser was, but I really love it. I place the tea infuser inside my mug, then use the scoop to pour in a scoop of tea leaves, then pour in hot water and then place the lid on top and let the tea steep for about five minutes. I then take the tea infuser out, throw away the tea leaves, place the tea infuser in the dishwasher and enjoy a wonder hot cup of tea with no tea leaves floating since the holes on the infuser is extremely tiny. I also love how the spoon has a clip on it as I use it to clip my open bag of tea and I don't have to worry about loosing the spoon. This would make a great gift for a tea lover!

These cooking gloves by Perfect Life Ideas are made of thick silicone and are a deep color red with mini hearts all over it.

Overall, I really love these cooking gloves and it does exactly what they are supposed to do.

Brilliant Beauty Eyelash Curler Review

The eyelash curler by Brilliant Beauty came inside a black velvet bag and with two extra refill pads. Upon initial inspection of the eyelash curler it is light weight and it looks exactly like any other eyelash curler. I read through the instructions and followed it to the tee. The eyelash curler was comfortable, sturdy, fit my eye shape perfectly, easy to use and did not snag at my eyelashes. After curling my lashes with this eyelash curler it gave my normally straight lashes a slight curl. Overall I did not see any difference compared to my current eyelash curler and the price is reasonable.

Winoze Corkscrew Set Review

This premium wine opener gift set by Winoze comes in a beautiful black box with a rabbit style corkscrew opener, a foil cutter, an extra corkscrew and two silicone wine stoppers. The foil cutter is simple to use. The rabbit style corkscrew opener is easy to use and pulls the cork right out without straining the wrist and with little effort. It is nice that it comes with an extra corkscrew for replacement. I haven't used the wine stoppers that came with the kit as I like to reuse the cork that comes with the bottle. This gift set comes with everything you would need to open wine and would make a perfect gift for any wine lover, a house warming party or even as a wedding gift.

Premium Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder Review

I have been using the Premium Coconut Activated Charcoal Powder for over a week now and have been extremely satisfied with the product. The charcoal powder is extremely fine and not gritty and easily dissolves into my morning smoothie. I just add approximately half a scoop to my smoothie and blend it away. It does give the smoothie a darker color, but there is no taste to the product. It tastes just like my usual morning smoothie.

The bad is extremely large for the amount of powder that you receive. I would suggest to transfer it into a glass container so that it is easier to use. Since the charcoal powder is extremely fine, a little of the powder tends to poof out when you open the bag and can be a tad bit messy.

Restoration Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask Review

I have a hard time sleeping when there is any sort of light around. Even though I close the door to my bedroom, I still wake up when someone turns on the light in the hallway or bathroom. Just that little slitter of light that comes through wakes me up so I was extremely excited to be able to try out the Restoration Lightweight & Comfortable Contoured Sleep Mask. The mask is lightweight and does keep the light out as long as you adjust it properly. If you do not adjust the mask properly, then there is a slight gap at the bottom of the mask where light can come in. I have been using it for a week and it does as it describes. It is lightweight that it does not bother me while I am sleeping and it keeps the light out which is what I want.

Evermarket Dotting Pen Review

I purchased the dotting pen set by Evermarket for under $2.00 on Amazon. The set of five dotting pens came in a clear plastic bag. Each dotting pen had a different size of dot on each end. The pens are sturdy and do the job.

I like to create my own nail designs so this set comes in handy as I can create polkadots or even a smiley face.

The only con about this item is that it took almost a month to receive the item.

Via Labs chia seeds Review

I have been incorporating chia seeds into my diet for approximately two years. I use it in baking in lieu of eggs, add it to my overnight oatmeal and I love adding it to my smoothies, salads or yogurt. I typically incorporate one or teaspoons a day into my diet. I love that the Via Labs chia seeds are organic and comes into a two pound bag for an extremely affordable price. When I am finished with my current bag, I will definitely be purchasing this through Amazon.

JP-1 Speed Jump Rope by Box Nation Review

The JP-1 Speed Jump Rope by Box Nation is extremely durable and light weight. The jump rope is made of a light weight metal cable and it was easy to move the hardware to adjust to my height. Upon using the jump rope it was easy to use and since it was so light weight I was able to do more jumps than I usually do. On the other hand, as I was getting tired, I wasn't jumping high enough and the rope hit my shin and it left a little welt and was extremely painful. I love that this set comes with an extra rope, hardware and a bag to put it all in so you don't loose anything. Overall I recommend this set for anyone who is looking for a quality jump rope.
