Product review: DERMAXGEN INSTANT FACE LIFT CREAM - Peptide Complex Tightening

 

 
We've all seen TV commercials when in seconds, the bag under the actor's eyes disappears.  No, this does not work like this.  I see a slight improvement in about 5 minutes after the application.  The improvement is temporary, a few hours.

The cream is unscented (big plus), moisturizing (big plus), and did not irritate my skin (big plus), but nothing like the difference shown in stock photos - that's a miracle of Photoshop, not the cream.

I have tried two DERMAXGEN instant facelift creams ( ASIN B09C13W6WN and  ASIN B09B4KD8BQ)  and the results were the same.

Product review: Estrella Naturals Raiz Mouthwash

 

This bottle is a fairly small mouthwash bottle, only 16 oz.  This price works out to $2.19 per one oz, very expensive.

It is very sweet (sweetened with Stevia) and has a strong licorice flavor. To me, the flavor felt like root beer.  I have a strong dislike for licorice and root beer, so I found the flavor very unpleasant.  My husband, who likes root beer, did not like it either. This mouthwash will not be a repeat purchase item for me.

Ingredients:
Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerin, Polysorbate 20; HerbalBrite Complex: Aloe Vera, Green Tea, Yerba Mate, Grapefruit Seed, Pau d'Arco Lapacho, Licorice Root, Echinacea, Purpurea Root, Echinacea Angustifolio Root, Calendula, Golden Seal, Witch Hazel and Stevia; Essential Oils: Peppermint, Red Thyme, Cinnamon Bark, Lavender, Tea Tree, Neem, Vanilla Bean, Citric Acid

Product review: Gearwoo Wipes Dispenser with Lids for Paper Tissues Towel, Dustproof Tissue Storage Box

 

 This dispenser box is 7.5" long, 4.75" wide, and 2.75" tall. It is more narrow than the standard Kleenex tissues, so it does not work well as a paper tissue dispenser.  However, it works fine for most wet wipes, as they are typically under 8" long. It is okay if the first tissue does not pull up the next tissue because the opening is big enough to pull tissues up with your fingers.

The box closes firmly, so it keeps wet tissues moist for at least a week.  I am a big fan of wet wipes in the bathroom but dislike the plastic packs with sticky flap covers as they become less and less sticky as I keep using the pack. Now, I immediately transfer the wet tissues into this box, and this dispenser works better for me than the plastic packs.

Product review: Mane Tame Professional Barber Station Mat 16" x 11" x .25" Silicone Mat

 

Good silicone mat with ugly loud logo. I like the mat, but I hated the bright white logo so much that I spent half an hour painting the white lettering red to make it less annoying.  A mat with just a good surface and no logo would have had so many more uses. I thought the logo was just on the photos to avoid stolen pictures, but it is on the actual product.

 Mat size: 16" x 11" x .25"

Product review: Lovespejo 10X Magnifying Mirror with Lights, Travel Makeup Mirror

 

The good news is that 10x magnification shows all the flaws really clearly.  The bad news is that 10x magnification shows all the flaws really clearly.  It is useful to have such high mag, but not always enjoyable!

The light can be powered either by three AAA batteries or by a USB cord.  There is no built-in battery; the light has to be plugged in if you want to use USB power. The lights are very bright, almost blinding.  To turn on the lights, you need to do two things: depress the button on the back and then touch a circle on the front.

I like the suction cup and the ability to place the light on the wall. My vision is not the best, and sometimes hotels have mirrors too far away from me to see well when I apply eye makeup.

The mirror area is 5.25" (not counting the lights), and the sweet spot with such large magnification is even smaller, just the center. It has a ball gear in the back that allows to position the mirror with great flexibility.  The suction cup also works as a stand if you use the light on the table.

Product review: BXZUSIO Silk Sleep Cap 100% Mulberry Silk Hair Care Night Bonnet

 This is a very nice cap, made out of real silk.  It is a good fit for my head (hat size 22) and holds my shoulder-length hair within the bonnet.  It feels pleasant on my head during the winter, it provides some warmth, but it does not feel hot.  However, it does come off my head during the night. I have been wearing it for a week, and every morning I find it next to my pillow. I would not want it to fit any more snug because it will stop being comfortable. I still like wearing it to bed, as it keeps me warm and keeps the hair out of my face while I fall asleep. After one week of wearing, I washed it, and it did not shrink.

Product review: Yoribo Electric Feet Callus Remover, Rechargeable Foot callous removers with 3 Grinding Heads

 

 I have been using callus removers for several years. I am ranking this callus remover pretty high among the ones I have used. It does a good job of removing thickened skin on large surfaces.   The callus remover has a rechargeable battery and has a digital charge level display.

Some of my previous callus removers had a vacuum to suck up the removed skin (which looks like white dust).  This callus remover does not. It is a little messier to operate as the skin dust falls on the floor.

The package includes:
* The callus remover.
* A small brush to clean the callus remover.
* Two spare grinding heads (so there is a total of three).

I have a callus on the bottom of my foot. If it gets too thick, it bothers me when I walk, and I used to see a podiatrist so that he could grind it down for me. Then I discovered electric callus removers, and they work as well as what my podiatrist does. I use the callus removers dry; they are not painful at all; they remove dry skin in a very thin layer. I worked a few seconds at a time, checking the result not to remove too much skin.  I  have not been back to a podiatrist since I began using electric callus removers a few years ago.
