Dermelect Smooth Upper Lip and Perioral Anti-Aging

This product does what it claims to do - and in a very short time!! I used this pleasant scented, non-greasy creme twice a day for three days straight. The very first time I applied it, I felt it tightening my upper lip. I also saw vertical cracks on my lip line that I had not previously noticed.

Seemed the product tightened, then filled in (as another reviewer described) the crevices and tiny cracks in my skin. I did not notice an improvement in the sun damage and dark shading on my face but I am confident continued use of Dermelect will satisfy that claim as well.

I would buy this product and make it part of my beauty regime. There is no need to continue searching for an anti-aging, sun damage reversal lip creme. I do believe this product will fit the bill!!

Burberry Body: the New Fragrance for Women

Yes! I chose to "Like" this product so that I could receive a free vial of this perfume! You can get yours too (really and honestly it is not a gimmick!) by going toBurberry's Facebook page and Liking them. The link is https://www.facebook.com/burberry.

I was quite impressed to receive this perfume in a box with a pretty notecard sized linen-finished postcard announcing it's arrival. I did visit their website and though the model in the sepia colored "Advert" video advertised the perfume, she was also advertising her beautiful physique (albeit tastefully).

While I would not leave the postcard which was included in my free perfume box laying around for my husband to see (the beautiful blonde from the Advert in the flesh-colored trench coat is on the reverse side of the postcard), I would recommend you go to their Facebook page and get a free sample of this high-end perfume for yourself. Dab it anywhere you dare. It is downright scrumptious and enjoyable to say the least.

Sorry to say, I twisted off the top of the glass vial and was met with a metal spring and when I pushed the black plastic lid down, the perfume squirted right into my left eye (I am okay really).However,  I wore the perfume the night I got it and loved every second of it!

I am going to wear it tomorrow nite to date night with my husband. No matter that we are attending a Publix Apron's Italian Wine & Dinner demonstration, my Burberry will no doubt rise above the garlic and get the attention of my always visually and scent-driven husband. I will not be in a trench coat but a white apron and look and smell beautiful!

Get yours today - no need for the trench coat. The perfume speaks for itself! And what girl doesn't want to try free perfume? None I know. This offer is for real. Get yours today.

Green Apple Peel - Sensitive by Juice Beauty

Scent was first and foremost as I slathered this green apple peel for sensitive skin on my face and neck. The cast of characters in the ingredient list were: Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C, SPF, Vitamin E, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Essential Oils. As if the ingredient list didn't impress enough, this facial mask was formulated with a blend of glycolic acid (from sugar cane), citric acid (from lemon), malic acid (from apple juice), lactic acid (from milk extract) and tartaric acid (from white grape juice).

Add to that, Juice Beauty's Green Apple Peel - Sensitive was made from 100% organically grown products, Paraben free and a PETA product.

This product smelled great, was non-intimidating in the manner in which it was made to be applied it - with my fingers. I did make sure I applied a generous layer as the directions stated. I also waited the full 10 minutes before rinsing off with warm water and a sea sponge that I always use for rinsing my face. I did not experience a tingling sensation as the directions mentioned may happen in those 10 minutes prior to rinsing. I did, however, see a slightly red patch of skin on the left side of my temple that I noticed for the first time as I rinsed my face. It disappeared soon after.

No doubt the tone of my skin increased. My skin had a healthier sheen even before I added my usual day moisturizer.  I have to say the exfoliation value in this product was amazing, considering how gently it treated my skin. I have to believe the power and the punch in this product was the Alpha Hydroxy Acid complex.

The power of fruit in a product is truly refreshing to see! Okay so an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but a Green Apple Peel - Sensitive application by Juice Beauty once a week no doubt will keep the dry lines, dull skin and aged appearance away. Convenient size, great value for the price and so very natural. Met my "If you can't eat it, don't use it" test. I'm sold!

IB Revitalizer Overnight Oil Treatment Spray by Jonathan Product

Sometimes a product comes along that leaves me speechless (does not happen often!). This was one such product that I struggled with to give proper homage to the product and its creator. Therefore, I decided to break out an acronym and let the words speak for themselves. Here goes...

Super great idea
Probably need to sleep in a shower cap while this amazing product does its magic
Extra curly and full of body after washing the next day
Created with a great fragrance
I love this product!!!
A must-have for any beauty arsenal
Love the convenience and uniqueness of conditioning hair while getting my zzz's

I did not have the IB Purifier on hand for this review. However, I washed my hair in the kitchen sink with baby shampoo and warm water. I applied an inexpensive conditioner and waited a few minutes before I rinsed out then towel dried. I let my hair air dry (I always do) and voila! I was looking at curly, shiny hair within the hour. I also noticed a drastic improvement with less frizz.

I am looking forward to experimenting with additional hair products immediately after using the IB Revitalizer and then styling with a blow dryer to see how straight hair will look after using this product.

Important: This product is for those with dull,color-treated or fine hair. I qualified in all three categories. The directions state to use twice weekly for four weeks, then 2-3 a month for continuous results (which I plan on doing).

This product smelled great, worked amazing, and was fun to apply and sleep with (in my hair). It will be one of those loyal "go to" products in my hair arsenal. I felt pampered, my hair felt pampered and the entire experience was successful and fun! I am still speechless....

Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy by Eric Metaxas

How blessed was I to have the chance to review this anointed work by author Eric Metaxas!  The New York Times best-selling author of Amazing Grace has once again delivered a book that helps one better understand how evil can take hold of a nation yet how one person can stand up for righteousness. I am a passionate student of everything Bonhoeffer. I digested this 544 page book in quick order.

One cannot read this book without also reading the Foreword by Timothy J. Keller and the Prologue which introduced the context of WWII as it related to those loved and best knew Dietrich Bonhoeffer. As the subtitled Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy so aptly gave this man several hats, the Prologue segues the reader into a well laid foundation for Dietrich Bonhoeffer the child into the man with all of the hats the subtitle awarded him.

I found it fascinating that Dietrich's mother home schooled her children and had a liberal slant in regard to faith. Dietrich grew into a faithful follower of Jesus Christ after his travels brought him to realize who God was and how the face of evil belonged to the enemy of God.

A nice touch were the photos in two sections of the book. There were several photos of Adolph Hitler and the Holocaust Museum. A copy of his handwritten poem Who Am I was also included. Here is a link to it. It is too special not to share in this review. Hear it below with text.

The biggest takeaway for me after I digested Bonhoeffer was my increased ability to relate to him. Clearly, his love for God allowed me to understand his passion to fight evil at all costs. He loved God and sought to serve Him and only Him. He became a martyr because he did not back down in the face of evil. This book inspired me to keep serving God despite persecution on a small or very large scale.
