John Frieda Loose Curls 1 1/4" Curling Iron Review

John Frieda has all the latest hair products, accessories and styling tools to get your hair looking fabulous. I was recently sent another one of their styling tools for review. The Loose Curls 1 1/4" Curling Iron.

This professional grade curling iron delivers frizz free waves and curls. The barrel on this iron is on the larger size so it creates loose curls and flowing waves. It includes 11 digital settings so that you can choose the right heat setting for your hair type without fear of frying your hair. I feel this is a great curling iron for women with long hair. I have short chin length hair and I wasn't able to get the full affect that I believe this iron delivers. However, This will make a great curler for my daughter who has waist length super straight hair, for those special occasions when she wants to fancy herself up. She is only 5 but loves to look her best for parties. If you want dramatic waves and lots of body then this product is for you. You can purchase it online or in several retail stores near you.

MyColdFront Review and Giveaway

Earlier this year I received a package for review with a product originally intended for women suffering from hot flashes. I’m in my early 30s, not near menopause, but I was curious to see what the MyColdFront kit could do for me. I found out early last month its use for pain relief.  

A few months ago my migraines returned after years without them. The doctor’s guess at what causes them. My most recent migraine came on quick and with extra strength, one of the worst ones in years (not counting the 3 day migraine when I was in my 20s). It was difficult to drive home and when I did get home safe I hit the sofa and stayed there trying not to move at all. My sweet daughter turned off all the lights, handed me some pills and took care of the rest. Trying to fall asleep to dull the pain I was desperate for any quick pain relief until the pills kicked in and that’s when I remembered I had MyColdFront.

I had yet to put MyColdFront in the freezer, or really use this product as I hadn’t had an incident to, but loved the feel of the gel packs in my hand and decided to apply the two smaller packs to my head and the larger one to the top of the back of my neck. There is certain impatience and somewhat panic that accompanies an intense migraine, as the pounding pain is so overwhelming that it becomes worse unless you find a way to relax. The cold gels MyColdFront packs helped me relax, to calm down and take deep breaths as I felt their coolness against my skin. Eventually, I fell asleep.  

Then a few weeks ago I used MyColdFront again on a nasty bump to my shin (stupid coffee table) without it having it been frozen in days. Still my shin instantly felt so much better. I think using it also helped reduce the bruising.

I found daily freezing the gel packs too much for me to remember to do. Besides the gel packs felt just as good to me for use without the freezing, but frozen they are much better than a hard frozen ice pack to an ache.

The zippered hardy case the gel packs come in, not much larger than the case for sunglasses is too large for my super small black purse, but I’m one of the few women I know who carries tiny purses. However, in many of the big purses I see my sisters and friends using, this case can fit right in with ease. I only wish one was made for my size purse.

Onion Crunch Review and Giveaway Yum! Yum! Yum!

Sometimes all it takes to make a good meal taste even better is an easy to reach for easy to add tasty topping like Onion Crunch. I have had months to review/taste test Onion Crunch on a variety of foods for a fair review and I let my kids in on the taste testing too. They loved the opportunity and the results as much as I did.

What is Onion Crunch? It is onion bit toppings made with real onions that can be put on a variety of foods. It is an inexpensive all natural Kosher (parve), vegan and non-gmo food product, low in sodium, carbs and also has 0 grams of cholesterol and of trans fat. In addition it is made up of only 4 ingredients: onions, oil, flour and salt.

The taste test: the first day the box of Onion Crunch samples arrived at my home I poured some in my hand to taste. It tastes like real onion, sweet crunchy onion pieces. After that I have topped a variety of meals: salads, homemade and store bought lasagna, homemade soups, pizza, beans, etc., with Onion Crunch.

My kids and I enjoyed experimenting topping meals with Onion Crunch to see what we liked it on best. We found we liked it best with lasagna and salads because it added the perfect texture to these dishes, but I was also surprised to find out how much I liked it in soups, especially by homemade beef stew. Sometime this month I plan to top my stuffed bell peppers with it.

The crunchiness of Onion Crunch isn’t like a crispy chip or toasted bread, but more like battered onion rings in tiny pieces. My 4 year old liked Onion crunch so much I often found him sneaking into another room from the kitchen eating Onion Crunch from his palm. It’s healthier than candy!

Onion Crunch can now be found at Wal-Mart. For more information about Onion Crunch visit http://www.onioncrunch.com/

Joey New York Review

Joey New York is known for products that give instant visible results, their focus is to develop beauty products to enhance beauty, maintain youthfulness, reverse the signs of aging, and perfect imperfections all while using the purest, safest, most luxurious and exotic ingredients from nature. 

Their newest collection which is infused with coconut water was created to bring you quick fixes to everyday problems using nature's soothing ingredients.

These products include Bye Bye Blackheads, Correct -A-Line for Face and Eyes, Day Gel and Night Cream Eye Duo, Keep it up, Line Up, and Peel-off Masque. I was given Bye Bye Blackheads, Correct-A-Line, and the Eye Duo for review.

Bye Bye Blackheads

This powerful, yet gentle, formula instantly removes blackheads while minimizing the appearance of large pores and treating acne breakouts. In just 60 seconds, the gel masque treatment delivers instant, visible, pain-free results, normalizing damage and brightening lackluster skin for a fresh, clean, clear complexion.

This product is meant to be used 1 to 2 times a week on large pores and blackheads. You put it on, wait for the gel to dry and then using your finger you rub it away. OK, so here are my thoughts on this stuff...remember when you were a kid and you would cover the palms of your hands with Elmer's glue and wait for it to dry and then have fun rubbing the dry glue off your hands? This is what this product reminded me of, only I would never put glue on my face. :) This product works! I tend to get blackheads in my t zone area, mostly on my nose and I have noticed since starting this product that they are pretty much gone. On days when I start to see a few showing up again I use Bye Bye Blackheads and again POOF all gone. I love this stuff and yes, it is fun to use.

Correct-A-Line Filler and Primer
 

 

This two-in-one product instantly smoothes skin and erases imperfections, leaving the complexion camera-ready. Ideal as an all-over filler or primer for makeup, the gel serum mattifies skin while hydrating.

 

This can be worn alone, under makeup, and even over makeup for added coverage. It is very lightweight and absorbs quickly. It feels like powder when you apply and gives your skin this almost satin-y feel. I have been using this under my makeup and I notice it helps my makeup go on more smooth and even.

 

Day Gel & Night Cream Eye Duo

 

Get radiant eyes day and night with this powerful day gel and night cream duo, designed to tighten, smooth and revitalize the delicate eye area.

 

The gel is meant to be used in the day and the cream during the night. They both have a similar texture but the night cream seems to absorb quicker then the gel does. Be careful to only use a small amount of the gel as I noticed the first couple of times I used too much and it left the skin under my eyes feeling a bit sticky. To Be honest I don't know if I have noticed a difference in the skin around my eyes, fortunately I have yet to develop wrinkles around my eyes. Maybe these products will help delay this!

 

Overall I was impressed with these products and I would really like to to try the Peel-off Masque as well. Especially since I have found these products to be very gently on my skin and do not cause any breakouts.

 

You can purchase Joey New York products at several online cosmetic and drugstores.
