InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner





  • CONTAINS 100% NATURAL and ORGANIC INGREDIENTS - Also has Vitamin C, an essential nutrient that is vital to developing skin health and youthfulness. This antioxidant is needed in order for the body to produce collagen, which is what keeps your skin elastic and supple. A daily dose of Vitamin C with our Facial Toner Spray is a great way to restore a youthful complexion by helping to strengthen your skin to protect and fight against environment factors that speed up the signs of aging.
  • CLEANS & SHRINKS PORES - When pores are clogged, they appear bigger because they are easier to spot. Our toner contains powerful astringents - such as Witch Hazel and Tea Tree Oil - which purify your skin by cleaning and tightening pores, shrinking their appearance.
  • COMBATS OILY SKIN - Those with oily skin will also rejoice using this reviving facial toner. The ingredients in our spray work to combat and remove excess oil, while restoring your natural pH levels so your skin is balanced. Our formula is gentle and suitable for all skin types.
  • HYDRATES & PREPS SKIN - Each soothing mist delivers instant refreshment to your face. As your skin is hydrated, the MSM in the formula works to penetrate your pores to increase their elasticity. Your face will become more receptive to absorbing serums, oils, and moisturizers applied thereafter. Our Vitamin C Facial Toner is a great way to prep your skin for your beauty routine.


 It is a good toner, very soothing, hydrating and claiming. I also love the smell of the toner. This is a product that my skin seems to welcome when its feeling a little under the weather. Its that simple. Its like comfort food to the skin. If my skin is irritated, dry, or just needs a pick me up, this is the perfect thing to put on. My skin feels instantly comforted and ready to take on the world. It absorbs well and feels moisturizing. Moisturizers/serums seem to absorb better with this on, it calms irritated skin (reduce redness/inflammation), it does not clog your pores and it does not interfere with other products. It doesn't seem like much but this toner has definitely earned a spot in my skincare shelf!

Nutribiotic Review

I was introduced to NutriBiotic through a friend and I reached out to them, they kindly sent me a few goodies to review! 






































In 1980, NutriBiotic was founded based on the principle that everyone deserves good health.









































NutriBiotic® Antioxidant Properties Foaming Facial Cleanser with aloe vera, DMAE, vitamin c ester, tocotrienols (vitamin E), and alpha lipoic acid provides a gentle, cleansing foam.


It is indeed a gentle-skin friendly cleanser when you are giving your skin a break from wearing makeup, sunscreens and other products. It will not remove layers of makeup or deep clean your pores. I prefer this product as a morning cleanser; it preps your skin for the day ahead with the perfect balance of moisture. Does not dry your skin and still feels clean.









































Nourish your skin with moisturizing nutrients for a fresh, radiant appearance. Fast absorbing and non-greasy. A little goes a long way. Provides men with a healthy, moisturizing alternative to after shave. Perfect for everyday use.


I started using it the day I got it. I like the feeling of it on my skin. My attitude may be different from others because I do not like a lot of face creams that other people swear by. I hate feeling like there is grease or oil on my skin and sometimes my skin breaks out. Well, this stuff was absolutely wonderful. I applied it lightly and my skin absorbed it naturally with no heavy feeling, no greasy residue. It will take a few more weeks before I can tell if everything people say about the value of peptides is true, but for now I can say that this is a superior moisturizer and took away the dry, flaky issues my skin was having. My skin is already softer and smoother feeling. Love it, love it!










































NutriBiotic® Antioxidant Properties Hydrating Facial Toner helps gently clean pores of impurities and makeup residue left behind after cleansing. Contains aloe vera, tocotrienols, DMAE, vitamin C ester, alpha lipoic acid, peptides, and sodium PCA. Hydrate and refresh your skin for a healthy appearance.


This is a nice, mild general use toner. It doen't leave my face dry and has a pleasant smell. I think I've found my HG of toners! I've been using this twice a day for about a month, maybe more, and it has really done a lot to keep my skin in check. My skin produces much less oil during the day, something I haven't found in any other toner. I've been using this along with the matching facial cleanser and face cream and my skin has never looked or felt better. I hope they never discontinue this product, because I think I'll be using it for life!

I love the smooth texture and quick absorption of this serum, it is like a primer and moisturizer in one, with the awesome benefits of pure topical vitamin C smoothing all those fine lines and wrinkles.  I have used many other vitamin C serums and this formula leaves my skin hydrated and smoothed whereas others left it feeling dry and tight. I've noticed the area around my eyes has fewer fine lines and my skin is overall much smoother and glows from the extra hydration.

Neoterics Cosmetics Review

Neoteric Cosmetics, located in Denver, Colorado, is committed to offering products that really work at prices you can easily afford. They kindly sent me some items for review! 





























Neoteric Cosmetics, Inc., a subsidiary of Scott's Liquid Gold, Inc., is a 60+ year old American manufacturing and distributing company whose clear and focused intent is to offer the best, most innovative & effective, high quality products at the most reasonable prices possible.

At a time when so many companies are succumbing to the "get it done cheaper" pressures, Neoteric Cosmetics stands firm in its belief that American manufacturing can be “a force to be reckoned with." 




























  • Maintains skin's moisture level
  • Gentle enough for eye makeup removal
  • Contains Citric AHA
  • Fragrance, gluten, soap & oil-free
  • 6 fl. oz. ph 6.3
  • Gentle & non-drying
  • For all skin types


This removes make up easily, even waterproof, and it doesn't sting if it gets in your eyes. It also clears you skin of dirt and oil which would have caused blemishes. This is not an acne fighting product, it just cleans your skin and removes makeup. Since i started using this my face is noticeably smoother and softer. 

I have incredibly sensitive skin, and this is one of the few products I can use that doesn't cause rashes, breakouts, or other types of skin ailments. The cleanser is a nice gel that foams. A small amount goes a long way. I use it every day and have found no problems with it thus far.






























I've tried two other dry shampoos besides this one and so far, this one's still the winner. One didn't make my hair look clean and the other made my hair feel like straw. 

Tip for those trying it for the first time - don't put the nozzle right at your hair or you'll get a ton of white product that will be hard to brush away and will leave you looking like you have grey hair. Spray it from slightly farther away and do small amounts at a time (you can always add more but you can't easily remove too much). Let it sit for ~10 seconds and use a comb to brush it into the hair at your scalp and then into the length of your hair.

The Batiste Dry Shampoo does exactly what it says it will do. Right when you spray this stuff into your hair you can automatically feel the difference. Your hair feels more refreshed and leaves the hair feeling VERY soft and smelling clean. I originally though this product would stiffen the hair, but i was wrong i'm very impressed.

Coco's Closet Bra Extenders 2 Hook- 6 Pack Review





  • Nylon
  • DURABLE LINGERIE SOLUTION: Built to Meet the Needs of Active and Pregnant Women.
  • GAIN EXTRA LENGTH: Gain the Extra Length You Need for a Comfortable Fit .
  • SAVE MONEY: Design Will Fit Most Bras and Sizes, Including 32, 34. 36, 38, 40, 42 A, B, C & D. Black, White and Nude. Spare the Time and Expense of Buying New Bras to Accommodate In-Between or Hard-to-Find Sizes or Temporary Weight Fluctuations.
  • SOFT & COMFORTABLE: Soft Backing Won't Chafe Your Sensitive Skin or Leave Unsightly Marks
  • QUALITY & SATISFACTION GUARANTEED - 90 Day 100% Money Back Guarantee                            


  • The bra extenders accomplish their function well, however they don't fit in every double-clip bra that I have because the separation between the top and bottom hooks aren't the same size. If the distance of the bra's hooks aren't the same as the extender, the risk of unhooking exists. I have been using them for the last 2 months, and they came loose just once. Other than that, they appear to be reasonably well made. So much better than the ones I originally purchased at Victoria's Secret. And less than HALF the price.

    These really are heavy, shiny, high quality straws, and I have no reluctance to use them for guests. If you like steel, the straws are beautiful. And, they've continued to look great after many trips through the dishwasher.

    I got these so I could stop tossing plastic straws in the trash every week.  I would feel guilty for potentially contributing to that mass of plastic swirling in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I feel good, my kids remember an important lesson about saving the environment every time they drink a smoothie, and when I have guests, the straws are an instant conversation starter.

    Phantom Fit Reflective Ankle Bands Review





    • Stay safe while jogging or doing any outdoor activity at night! These Phantom Fit reflective bands fit securely and are visible up to 1,000 feet.
    • Easily fastens with durable velcro. These stay in place and won't move around.
    • Forget about those expensive bands with LED lights that need their batteries changed every couple of weeks. Phantom Fit reflective bands reflect well even with a small amount of light.
    • Dual reflective strips means twice the amount of reflection. Not to mention, it's more difficult for drivers to mistake you for anything except for a human!
    • Can also be used on wrists and arms as long as the spot is over 10 inches in circumference.



    Basically this product is exactly what it looks like and claims to be... and in my experience highly effective in increasing my visibility in night running. So you like to run, walk the dog, bike or just play in traffic. Make sure to be safe when doing it (and consider not playing in traffic). Good quality. Highly recommend. Very simple to use. Just strap and go. Highly reflective and very comfortable. An inexpensive visibility tool.

    Vacay Water Enhancer Review




    Vacay is an All Natural water enhancer that helps to relieve stress & anxiety, ease tension, and calm the mind.  Each package of Vacay comes with 10 servings in a resealable pouch small enough to fit into your pocket for whenever you need to chill!


    Review: I like the product but the flavors are a little weak. I had to use more then the recommended amount to get the flavor I wanted. However, I like it and will buy again. Very good way to drink more water, naturally. These are not as potent or sweet (and won't go as far) as the 'fake' sweetener water enhancers, but are still sweet and have very good flavor, and you can control how much you want. Still a super value compared to bottled comparable flavored water beverages.
