Glasses USA Review

This has taken a bit of time to get back to because of life getting in the way and such. I was sent an email in late April from Glasses USA asking if I would be interested in reviewing a pair of glasses. Being as blind as I am, I quickly agreed after making sure they would take Canadian orders. I went through the whole site a few times over and found a pair of glasses that fit my measurements the best. I didn't have much of a selection because my features are so small (particularly the bridge of my nose), but that is nothing new for me. I always have a really hard time finding glasses that fit AND look nice. I decided on the Independence Brown Full Frames found here: http://www.glassesusa.com/full-frames-independence-brown-eyeglasses.html. I waited anxiously for them to arrive wondering if they would fit or even look good on me. Shipping was fairly quick I think it was around 2-4 weeks. I was away for a bit after the initial emails so can't recall exactly how long it took for shipping. When I received them and tried them on they looked amazing! The arms were too wide for my head though, so I had to take them into Sears to have them adjusted. Nothing major though since I normally have to get all of my glasses adjusted when I get them anyway. It took me a few weeks to have it done though because I kept forgetting them at home ( I wear contacts 98% of the time), or they were closed when I could get over. Now they fit perfectly and I have gotten some nice comments on them when I have worn them out! They feel like they are very good quality, and the lenses were made very thin for me. I think that might be why I like them so much. They made the lenses very thin so from the side you don't see how bad my eyesight is! The package that was shipped to me was very neatly put together and you don't have to worry about them getting broken in the mail because they come in a hardshell case well wrapped in a box. They also carry a few designer brands!

*Review* The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Exfoliator

Image
I bought this stuff from The Body Shop when they had an emailed printable coupon for $10 off any purchase of $10 or more in August. It's a bit on the pricey side $13 for a 100ml tube but I got it for $3 and tax so a really good deal at the time. I can honestly say that I love this stuff and plan on buying more when I run out because it works really well for my skin. It is a little on the pricey side compared to what I usually buy but I think its worth it since the directions say to use it max. twice a week. I got it in August and have used it twice a week since and still have 3/4 of the bottle left! I don't use it on my whole face though just the areas that need it that way I get more use out of it. I also use an inexpensive tea tree oil face wash from St. Ives (around $3.77 a bottle). Pros dries out pimples really well even on my very oily skin keeps my skin smooth and soft for hours after washing my face is a gentle scrub not harsh like some scrubs can be on the skin lasts fo...

Derma E Collagen Serum Review

I received this product free to test from Social Nature. If you are someone like me that has made the switch to mostly natural products then you definitely need to head over to Social Nature and sign up! It's the only site that I know about that gives you the opportunity to try natural products and post reviews.  Now, back to the product in question. This serum so far has been great on my skin. It smells pleasant and goes on smooth with no greasy after feel. It soaks into my skin well and doesn't pill when I apply moisturizer over top. It comes in a large enough format that I feel like it should last me at least six months of regular day and night use. I use one to two pumps in my hand and then rub together and apply to my face and neck. A little product goes a long way. In terms of noticing a difference in my skin I haven't really noticed much of a difference but I don't feel like I've used it consistently enough yet to accurately tell if it's working better ...
