My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review a Paracord Survival Bracelet.  My family is always outdoors doing something whether it is hunting, fishing, camping, or hiking through the woods.  This bracelet is nice to have on hand, just in case.  It looks cool to just wear it as bracelet.  I usually have I lighter on me because I smoke but I know they are useless if they get wet.  This firestarter rod will work regardless.  I tested it out to prove it works quickly and easily.  The saw is not extremely sharp but will work to get necessary jobs done.  You can turn the loop in to hide the blade inside the cords.



 

I would definitely recommend the Paracord Survival Bracelet to anyone who is outdoors and wants peace of mind if an emergency situation should arise.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.

My Review:

I recently received a Fogless Shower Mirror by Cassani to review.  It arrived in a bag with a protective film on the mirror to prevent it from getting scratched during shipping.  The mirror was very clear and defined.  It came with a wall mount for the mirror as well as a mount for a razor.  They were easy to apply since I just had to peel and stick.

I actually placed this mirror next to my bathtub because I take a lot of baths.  I often wish I had a mirror next to the tub so I could tweeze my eyebrows or remove eye makeup.  I can even relax in the tub now with a facial mask on and I will be able to see if it is dry without getting up to check.  It's so handy to have right there!  I can see why they would be nice as a shower mirror because it doesn't fog up.  I would definitely recommend the Fogless Shower Mirror by Cassani to anyone who wants a mirror in their shower or tub.  You can only purchase it HERE on Amazon for $14.99.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Born Skincare Products are Organic and Toxic-free (Review)

 

Every ingredient in Born products are hand selected, organic, and ToxicFree.  The grapes used in the products are hand selected from vineyards throughout the Southern United States. All of the grapes then go though a multistep process of drying, separating, and processing; all done by hand.

All ingredients used in Born products, including their preservatives, are organic and ToxicFree. No chemicals are used and their oils are minimally refined to ensure maximum potency.  

 

My Review:

 

I recently had the chance to review my choice of four items from Born.  I chose the following...

 

THE SOURCE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN - Known as "the smarter grape" muscadines provide myriad of benefits to the skin. Muscadines contain the highest levels of antioxidants of any grape and works miracles on the skin.  This fast absorbing oil will leave our skin feeling refreshed and looking younger in just days.  Muscadine oil helps with dry/itchy skin, Eczema and more.

I chose this for my son's eczema.  It has helped it a lot.  I expected a cream but it is actually a spray.  It comes out green and smells great!

 

THE SOURCE FOR MOTHERS - This is a pure & nourishing oil for every phase of your life, whether you're expecting or you're already a mother. During pregnancy, the rare blend of moisturizing ingredients will aid in the prevention of stretch marks. Post pregnancy, the power of muscadine oil & coconut oil are a miraculous duo that heal & lighten existing stretch marks. The Source for Mothers is safe & gentle enough to use on your children, for soothing chapped skin & for healing scars.

I also chose this for my son since he is scarred from having eczema all of his life.  It seems to be about the same thing as The Source for Sensitive Skin but we having been using them both and haven't seen a change in the scars yet.

  

THE SOURCE FOR MEN - A new way to shave! This blend acts as a natural protector against razor burn and allows you to see your skin while shaving, giving you a cleaner, sharper shave. This multitasking blend can be used three different ways: as an alternate to shaving cream, as a base under shaving cream or applied after your shave as a moisturizer.

I chose this for my husband.  He said it works great to shave with but it a little greasy and he didn't care for the scent.  He is very picky when it comes to colognes and this kind of stuff.

 

THE SOURCE FOR MUSCLES - An ancient and wondrous remedy for muscle aches. One of the miraculous qualities of muscadine grapes is that they are a natural anti-inflammatory. Great for sore muscles, neck and back pain.

I chose this because somebody always has an ache or pain around here.  I have used it on my back, neck, and sore muscles.  It does seem to work after a couple of applications.

 

Overall, I would recommend Born Skincare to anyone looking for natural, organic skincare products.  Check out the website or follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

My Review

 

I recently received several items from Arbonne for my husband to review.  They sent us the following items...

 

Sky for Men Cologne -($55.00) A warm, masculine expression of his strength and spirit, infused with woods, refreshing herbs and brilliant citrus top notes.

 

RE9 Advanced for Men Set -($117.00 reg. $130.00) Save 10% when you purchase all four products for men, includes...

 

Exfoliating Wash -($30.00) Invigorating wash exfoliates and helps prevent ingrown hairs, prepping skin for a clean, close shave.

 

Shave Gel -($22.00) Formulated with anti-friction properties to increase glide and deliver a smooth and comfortable shave.

 

Post-Shave Balm -($32.00) Fast-acting balm comforts skin and soothes razor burn.

 

Facial Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen -($46.00) Daily moisturizer protects skin from sunburn while helping to reduce visible signs of fatigue, stress and aging.

 

 

I had never tried Arbonne products personally so when this opportunity came up, I was excited for him to try them.  I have always heard good things about the company but never knew of anyone in the area who sold them.  The products are all nicely scented and work great.  Even though it was like pulling teeth to get my extremely low maintenance husband to try everything, he did like everything.  He said using four products was overkill but his skin looks, smells, and feels great.  He's your typical wash and shave kind of guy...no aftershave, no sunscreen.  That has changed since Arbonne has introduced him to their awesome line of products.

The only downfall we could find on any of these products was the Sky cologne.  It smells so good but the scent does not last a long time.  We both loved it on him but it disappeared after a couple of hours.  I wish it lasted longer. 

Overall, I would recommend Arbonne products to anyone looking for high quality men's products.  Check out the website or see a consultant near you.

Game Day Men's Products Review

 

Game Day is a father son brand launched in 2013 by Dr. Kerry Demascus, and his son Demetri.  They set out to offer the highest quality products that even the most discerning sportsman will want to use. They designed the Game Day line under the watchful eye of Dr. Demascus, who has over 20 years of experience and expertise in the field of facial aesthetics. In too many industries products are just pumped out to fill demand. No attention to quality or detail. At Game Day, they are passionate about designing a product that people want and appreciate because there is such a large gap today between high-quality products with attention to detail and the low-quality, mass-produced products.  They feel if you are going to do something, do it right.

 My Review

 

My husband and son recently had the opportunity to review several items from the Game Day Men's product line.  We received the following items...

Shower Gel: Face & Body Cleanser - gentle enough for all skin types to use on their face, but also powerful enough to give a deep clean to your skin and cleanse your body too. Not only does the Shower Gel: Body and Face Cleanser clean your skin, but it rejuvenates and protects your skin as well. It is packed with anti-oxidants that revive your skin, and also contains the REVOLUTIONARY Pear Cactus Extract which soothes, calms, and hydrates skin. This retails for $22.75 for an 8 oz. tube.  My son used this and loved the way it lathered and cleansed. 

Pre-Shave Invigorating Scrub - an essential step in preparing the skin for the smoothest shave possible as it scrubs away dead skin, stands whiskers up and frees ingrown hairs.  Pre-Shave: Invigorating Scrub also works to exfoliate and clean the skin by working deep into pores to free dirt and other unwanted residue. Only Pre-Shave: Invigorating Scrub delivers a cooling wave to your face for a clean that you can feel.  This retails for $22.75.  My husband used this first and said he felt like a girl using a scrub but he did like the affect of the product.

Aftershave - an essential step in the shaving process for skin strength and health. Apply to the face after shaving to hydrate and firm the skin while repairing knicks. Unlike other aftershaves, ours features a serum base. This means that it soothes and cools the skin simultaneously, while also working quickly to restore the skin to its natural, healthy state. Afershave: Soothing Balm has all the features of your standard aftershave, however Game Day's product has been tweeked to match the image of the modern man of the 21st century.  This retails for $24.75 for 1.7 oz. 

Moisturizer: Hydrator + SPF 30 - lotion takes effect fast to actively hydrate your skin while simultaneously providing essential SPF 30 protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Whether you spend the majority of your day in an office, or you face your day outside, Moisturizer: Hydrator + SPF 30 allows you to keep your skin hydrated and guarded throughout the day allowing you to make the most as you challenge life head on.  This retails for $32.75 for 1.7 oz.

My husband has never used aftershave or worn lotion before so this was all a new experience.  The aftershave was more like a lotion and it did make his skin softer and smooth.  He did not like the scent of any of the products though.  I liked the smell.  They have a fresh, manly scent.  But it's like going cologne shopping....he tells me to pick out what I like.  If something smells good to me, he'll wear it.  Overall, I would recommend Game Day Men's products to any man.  They would make a great gift idea as well.  Check out their website or follow them on Facebook, Twitter, or Pinterest.

My Review

 

I recently received the Grooming Kit for my husband to review.  He has been wanting a Norelco razor so I was excited to be asked to review this.  When it arrived, he used it right away.  I had just cut his hair so he wasn't able to use the hair clipper.  All of the other attachments worked great and gave him a nice, clean trim.  The only downfall was he still had to shave his skin with a razor and shave cream because the smallest attachment still left stubble.  I can't really complain for the price of only $39.99, it does a great job of trimming his goatee and mustache.  The nose trimmer works really well, too.  Overall, I would highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a men's grooming kit.  Click HERE for coupons for Norelco products.  Follow on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on their specials and contests.

Mangroomer Scruff Sculptor, Detail Trimmer, & Electric Back Hair Shaver Review & Giveaway

MANGROOMER

Mangroomer offers a full line of products for a man to keep himself well groomed and hair free.  They have products to remove hair from all over the body, detail trimmers, and they even have blow dryers to keep your hair looking stylish.

 

My Review

I received the Professional Mangroomer Scruff Sculptor, Electric Back Hair Shaver, & the Stainless Steel Detail Trimmer to review.  The picture above shows my husband, Brian, before using these products. 

He first used the Detail Trimmer to trim his nose hairs.  This  has 3 attachment heads to trim your neckline / sideburns, eyebrows,  & ear / nose.  It can be used wet or dry and is stainless steel.  It cleans easily by rinsing in water.  It runs on 1 AA battery.  It worked very nicely and was completely pain free.  It retails for $24.99.

Next, he used the Scruff Sculptor.  He wanted to get the closest shave possible, which was 0.3 millimeters.  He would have liked to go down to bare skin but that wasn't an option with this razor.  It did a great job at sculpting his mustache.  He liked being able to adjust the length on the LED screen.   The blades are self sharpening and ultra-sensitive.  The whisker belly traps your shavings with no mess, which is nice, since I clean the sink.  It also has a Power Burst button for easy trimming through extra thick and coarse hair.  It is rechargeable and retails for $99.99. 

Last, he tried the Back Hair Shaver.  Although he doesn't really have any back hair, there are a few stragglers that this baby took care of.  It is 100% rubberized with a 135 degree opening that allows you to reach all areas of your back with ease.  It has a fully extendable handle that locks into place at various lengths.  It is rechargeable and retails for $49.99.

Here is a picture of him after using the Professional Mangroomer products...

 

 

Overall, I would recommend Mangroomer to any man or anyone who is looking for great products to groom their guy.  Check them out at www.mangroomer.com.
