Charmed Aroma Candle

Classic 2 Wick Coconut Vanilla

"Every Charmed Aroma candle has rings valued between $10, $25, $100, $1,000 or $5,000."

"Rings will come randomized between sizes 6-8."

If your reading this you are probably were like me before I decided to purchase one of these candles

from Charmed Aroma, and asking yourself is this legit? 

I decided for my birthday, I would take the plunge and I purchased the

 'Classic 2 Wick Soy Candle'  in the scent 'Coconut Vanilla'.

One of the reasons why I was so hesitant (besides the major reason, how could there be rings of that quality buried in a candle), was the overall cost of the candle.  The candle itself $26.99 plus another $8.95 for shipping.  If your like me your looking at that being $40 bucks for a candle.  Really?  It better be a damn good candle.  Even if I only were to find a $10 ring.  The candle better be worth it :)

So me being curious/the tester I am.  I wanted to see how long the candle would actually last.  So yes, I kept track of how long I burned the candle.  I had a little piece of paper stuck on the fridge and I logged "my times".  Husband thought I was nuts (nothing new), but hey, this was going to determine if I was

to actually buy another candle from Charmed Aroma again in the future.

I should also mention there are other products available from Charmed Aroma, which include Bath Bombs $16.99 (925 Sterling Silver Ring worth up to $5000),  Body Scrub $28.99 or Body Butter $27.99 (925 Sterling Silver Ring worth up to $5000), Necklace candle $26.99 (Sterling Silver Necklace & Pendant worth up to $5000).

They also have a Sterling Silver 'Choose your Size' Candle.  It costs a bit more $44.99 but at least you know your going to find a ring that actually fits you.

What I Found?

Overall scent of the candle was very pleasant.  I'm not one for vanilla but I love coconut.  Truth. I get a lot more vanilla scent that I do the coconut.  So not too sure where the coconut comes into it but it was still very nice.  And too be honest I was quite shocked on how long this candle actually burned for.  If you check the FAQ on the Charmed Aroma, website they state that their Classic 2 Wick candles can burn any wheres from 30-40 hours.

Mine lasted: 45 Hours & 51 minutes.

Yes, I could be off a bit, but damn I'd take it. LOL.

That makes me feel a little bit better for purchasing a $40 candle.

Now this can vary for different people but the approx time I was able to fish out my ring was

26 hours and 37 minutes in.  I didn't go digging around for it.  I waited till the "baggie" was full visible.

Tin foil + baggie straight from the candle.

Baggie removed from tin foil.

So since there was an actual ring in my candle that means I wasn't luck enough to have received a $1000 or $5000 ring.  If it was to be a $1000 or $5000 ring I would have just received an appraisal code/note and once you contact Charmed Aroma, they send you the ring with appraisal papers.

The ring I was to about to find would be between $10 - $100.

Any guesses?

Here's My Ring!

When you get your ring there is an appraisal code attached and once you go onto the Charmed Aroma, website your can enter in that code and the value of your ring will show up.

In my case my ring was valued at: $100

I took a screen shot (below) of what appeared.  I just blocked out my 

actual code but it does state my ring "Appraised for $100".

The ring itself is so sparkly and shiny and well gorgeous.  But sadly, it is too big.  I'm guessing its either a size 7.5 or 8.  It just barely fits my thumb :(

(I ended up gifting this ring to my Mum for Mother's Day)

I hope some people found this to be little bit helpful.

Oh, forgot to mention.  I had no issues with ordering.  Received my candle in a timely manner.  Packed well, wasn't damaged.  I know right now with it being the Xmas holidays and them just finishing a huge 12 days of Christmas promo, they got little overwhelmed I think and their shipments have been delayed by 4 weeks.  I think I just lucked out and bet the rush :)  Once the holidays are over you "shouldn't" have any issues.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Dove Refresh + Care: Volume Dry Shampoo

I'm always on the look out for a good and effective dry shampoo.  I'm not one of those people who washes their hair every single day, I'm more like every 2-3 days and If I'm really lucky, well lets say lazy and want to try and get away with a fourth pony tail/bun day so be it.  So if a dry shampoo can get me to that 4th day.  Hooray! 

When I received this Dove Refresh + Care Volume Dry Shampoo, (#GotItFree) I was super excited.  One, like I said I'm on the look out for a good/effective dry shampoo and also since I have very fine hair, something to help with my lack of volume. 

I like to say for a dry shampoo the smell is good.  Your not killing yourself with the fumes, there is a white cast that is present when you apply the shampoo, but it does go away.  I Also found in my case on 2 day old hair (not a total grease ball yet), I needed to apply what seemed to be a lot to achieve a hint of difference (if that makes sense).  As for volume, it lasted ohhh a few minutes then if deflated (nothing new in my case).  

Would I recommend this product?  For the price around the $5 buck price range, you can definitely give it ago, but if you have fine hair I would maybe skip if you looking to achieve any amount of volume.  

Thanks.

Thoughts

My first thoughts about receiving this was "Oh, wow! It's a fancy spancy moisturizer".  Don't get me wrong I was happy to have received this through BzzAgent, and I was in need of a face lotion.  But really, could this help with fighting the good fight (the 7 signs).  Truth, am I really concerned on how my face looks in the department of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots.  No not really.  I've been told I look young for my age so again not a big concern but I'm sure some day it may catch up to me and if this fancy lotion helps me out then great.

Age spots.  I don't really have them.  So can't say much about that.  Acne scars yes but didn't see a big difference.  Which I expecting to?  No.

Dryness.  I did find it provided a good amount of moisture for a good amount of time.

Lines & Wrinkles.  Don't really have them.  So again.  Not much to report.  I do have laugh lines and I'm not like "OMG, NO!"  I have them, they showed with & without this moisturizer.

Uneven Tone/Texture.  I found after using for over a week, my skin to look more (hate to use this word but...) glowey.  I my uneven skin tone seem to get in sync more with each other :p  As for texture, not a noticeable difference.

Dullness.  Like mentioned before.  Skin seemed more "glowey" definitely after a few uses.

Pores.  I don't have a big issue about pores.  Their not that noticeable to me anyways, so if I wanted to try and hide them, this did help foundation/bb cream go on smoother.

Notes:  

Dont't use this as an alone sunscreen for your face.  I went out and was in and out of the sun and I still got a red face.  Nothing major.  But just use other sunscreen.  

First time use and afterwards.  Don't do a full pump.  Way too much.  Mistake on my 1st go around.  You barely need to use a half a pump.

Packaging/bottle.  All pretty standard.  Bottle is lightweight.  Why, that might be important, I don't know but it's something I noticed.  

Price.  About $24.  (Here at one of my local department stores)  Olay, is a well known/loved brand but this didn't work miracles for me so I can't justify spending that amount on this.

Pantene Pro-V Style Series

"Healthy Hair Does Styling Better"

Claims & Info.

"Ultra lightweight spray for a smooth controlled finish to your style.  

Alcohol free formula leaves hair feeling moisturized and silky soft for healthy

style with body and bounce."

Spray evenly on dry styled hair to finish.  You may find that you need less

than your usual hairspray.

Thoughts:

This is going to be short and sweet (Like me!).  Maybe, not so sweet.  I didn't like this. Well, I didn't hate it, but I sure didn't like it.  I could take it or leave it.  And for now I'll take it, since it's my only current hairspray that I have and by gone it, I will keep using it till it's gone.  It's holds your hair nicely, through out the day.  It is brushable ... at first.  

My down fall with this is it leaves your hair feeling like your got a massive amounts of gunk in your hair and if you use it everyday it weights down your hair and it doesn't look that cute between washes.  

It does have a pleasant smell to it and this is probably just my bottle I received but it doesn't spray as well as it should (clogs a bit).   Nice, sleek packing.  Would I be going out and grabbing this again.  No.

Price.  $4 (One of my local dept. stores)  If you wanna give this a go.  By all means.  Can't beat the price.

I would like to thank #BzzAgent, #Olay, & #Pantene for sending these to me.

I #GotItFree in exchange for my input.

Biore Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips

I have tried Biore pore strips in the past, found them to be too drying.  With these new charcoal strips, I found them to be work very well.  Definitely a better fit for my nose (not overly wide that it spans underneath my eye area), the material used in the actually strip seems to work better than the past (comfort).  

After use you can see the icky gunk that has been lingering in your pores.  Some of the black "charcoal" residue is left behind after use but it is easily wiped off.  A tad bit dry afterwards but an easy fix with some lotion.  

Overall a good product and will consider purchasing in the future.  

Note:  I did receive this product for free from GlamSense, along with the Biore Baking Soda Pore Cleanser.  Which quickie review, does leave your skin feeling nice, cleansed, and refreshed but it didn't nothing for my problem pimple area (my chin). 

P.S.  Even got the hubby to give the strips a go, and he said he preferred these strips from once in the past. :p

Spring 2016 Edition:  Let Happiness Bloom

This was my first ever #FabFitFun box so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.  Well I had an idea, after seeing reviews and other peoples unboxings.  But after receiving and opening my very own, I was very happy with what I had received and I will continue the subscription.  It is a bit pricey, especially since I'm in Canada, with the exchange rate/shipping charge but I still believe it is worth it.  Matter of fact I'm probably going to cancel another subscription service box to make way for this one.  This definitely has more of a variety of sorts that suit me more.  With that being said,  here is what I received in my Spring 2016 box :)

Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle

"For easy, even trimming and hydrated smooth skin, in just one razor."

"Hypoallergenic moisturizing serum and Unique Skin Guards protect against irritation"

" 5 Curve Sensing Blades give incredible closeness"

"Adjustable Comb for a customized look and feel"

"Build in Waterproof Bikini Trimmer for in/out of the shower use."

I received the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle for free through the Glam Sense program powered by TopBox and I was so happy to have been chosen to try this baby out.  My current razor was definitely needing to be replaced.  

What's not to love right?  It's two products in one.  Honestly, I feel it's like one product with a bonus attached..  Firstly, I got to say that love the packaging.  Blue & purple can't go wrong in my books.   Most people won't care about the packaging but hey to me if it looks nice, your going to sell more products.

If any one is wondering it is battery operated and that battery is included (1 x AAA).  The razor is also waterproof so it can be used while taking a shower.  My over all opinion on this is, it is kind of on the bulky side like some other reviews have mentioned but I can easily over look that.  The main 5 blade standard razor is AMAZING.  Leaves your skin so smooth and your skin does feel hydrated/moisturized afterwards. Now it claims your skin will feel moisturized * for up to 2 hours after shaving.  I don't believe this is achieved with the razor & shaving lotion on their own.  Maybe for a little bit but definitely not too hours.  Got to love the "up to" bit.  

Reminder just go easy around your knees or any bumpy/boney areas, it can knick very easily.  As for the waterproof Bikini Trimmer, on the other end.  I could take it or leave it.  It did an okay job.  Was I loving it.  No.  If it was me I would just skip this whole 2 in 1 product and just go out and purchase the main standard razor.  Skip the bikini trimmer.

I'm rating this product a 4 out of 5 stars.

(The standard 5 blades alone earn the stars.) 

Thanks to Glam Sense, TopBox, & Schick.

More reviews to come.  Stay tuned.

Dove Moisturizing Product Reviews

Dove

"Discover expert care real women love."

Products I will be reviewing:

1.  Dove Go Sleeveless Antiperspirant

2.  Dove White Beauty Bar

3.  Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash

4.  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo

5.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner

Firstly,  I like to thank Dove, Glam Sense, & TopBox for choosing me to receive these products for free to try and review :)

1.  Dove Go Sleeveless Antiperspirant :

"Our best care for the armpit.  The Dove Go Sleeveless formula with NutriumMoisture technology effectively nourishes your skin, going beyond 48-hour odour protection for softer, smoother armpits in just 3 days."

In my opinion Dove is one of those well known & trusted companies and I was excited to have received the Dove go sleeveless anti-perspirant, because with Dove (really) you can never go wrong.  Firstly, you have the classic Dove smell, which I love also makes you feeling nice and fresh.  Second, the anti-perspirant goes on nice and smooth and it did keep me well protected and smelling fresh through out the day.  Would I say it an 48-hour odour protector?  No not quite.  But it does last throughout a day (which I kind of just repeated myself).  After the "3 day" smoother armpit claim period, I did feel like my armpits were moisturized/smoother/softer and I'm sure as I continuing using Dove go sleeveless, it's just gonna keep getting better :)  The only downfall I have with this product and this is almost with any white solid anti-perspirant (but it seemed liked a lot with this Dove), it transferred to your clothing A LOT.  You know that struggle you have with trying to wear black with white deodorant?  You really have to be careful and plan your attack of putting on our shirts LOL.  But overall, I did like this product and I would possibly be buying this in the future.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.

2.  Dove White Beauty Bar :

"With 1/4 moisturizing cream, Dove Beauty Bar replenishes your skin with nutrients and makes it softer, smoother and more radiant over time."

Using Dove products I always know/feel confident that you will be getting great products.  With the Dove White Beauty Bar, it's no exception.  I have very dry skin and that fact it's the colder/winter months where I am, dry skin just sucks :(  It's good knowing that Dove's Beauty Bar comes with at least some moisturizing cream (1/4).  Mind you I still need to apply lotion but it's definitely a major positive compared to other bars of soap.  The only negative thing I had was after using this to wash my face, I had a little bit of a breakout.  I have stupidly sensitive skin when it comes to using products on my face so most likely this is just in my case.  Skin does feel nice and soft & smoother after using.  Great for the rest of the body and using Dove original Beauty Bar you get that classic Dove scent that I know and love.  You know your clean when you smell Dove.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.

3.  Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing BodyWash:

"Dove makes your skin softer and smoother after just one shower*.  

With our gentlest cleaners and NutriumMoisture.  Dove has 10x more moisturizers+."

* Compared to skin before shower.

+ Versus a leading body wash.

Dove's Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash, leaves your skin feeling & smelling nice and fresh. Do I agree with the claim "softer, smoother skin after one shower".  No, not really.  But I guess it's more of less being compared to before & after showering.  So yes, this body wash made my skin feel more softer/smoother than other body wash brands (which is good enough for me) but I still found I really needed to apply a lotion after using.  Mind you I do have very dry skin to begin with and with it being in the cold/winter months, its to be expected.  My overall rating is 4 out of 5 and only because I didn't feel like I got a "huge bang" of moisturizing for what is being advertised, if you know what I mean.   I usually tend go between two brands of body wash, Dove being one of them and after trying the Deep Moisture (I usually go with a Dove Go Fresh), I'm still a fan of the Dove Body Wash and all of Dove's products.  Overall rating 4 out of 5.



4.  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo:

"Want instantly soft and visibly smooth hair?  Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo protects hair from the daily wear and tear of life.  The special formula, with Pro-Moisture Complex, gently cleans and progressively nourishes, without weighing hair down.  Lather into wet hair, and rinse."

I found this Dove Daily Moisture Shampoo to be great to get a nice and clean/fresh feel to the my hair.  It left my hair feeling noticeable softer afterwards and in between washes.  I didn't see a big difference in smoothness & I personally felt it weighing my hair down a bit but with this special "Pro-Moisture Complex" formula, definitely feeling the nourishment happening.  I would recommend this product for the fact of the classic Dove smell along with the freshness and softness that is achieved.  My overall rating is an average 3 out of 5.

5.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner:

"Dry hair can be hard to manage and style.  Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner is formulated with Pro-Moisture Complex and instantly smoother visible signs of dryness, while progressively nourishing without weighing hair down.  Apply to wet hair, focus on the ends and rinse well."

I have been using the Dove Daily Moisture Conditioner, for quite awhile now and I have to say that I do like that it makes my hair feeling nice, soft and smelling great afterwards (the clean smelling freshness sadly doesn't last).  The softness does seem to last though between washes but this conditioner didn't leave my  hair as smooth as I was hoping for.  Overall if your looking for a good conditioner that will leave your hair feeling soft & smelling good (for a brief time), this might work for you.  If your looking for just an average softening conditioner this will be the ticket.  Just don't expect miracles.  Oh, it also didn't leave me with too many tangles thankfully.  I was expecting a lot more than what I had to deal with.  My overall rating is an average 3 out of 5.
