Majestical Jewelry Review

I received the Animal Print Hoops from Majestical Jewelry to review.  All ideas and opinions are my own. 

I love jewelry.  So imagine my surprise when I was contacted by Majestical Jewelry to review one of their great products.  Majestical Jewelry,  based in Charleston, South Carolina, creates authentic silver, gemstone, pearl and gold jewelry.  They also have great fashion jewelry and charms!  While I waited on my package to arrive in the mail, I spent time browsing the Majestical website and was pleasantly surprised with what I saw there.

  

When I received my package in the mail, the first thing that wowed me was the packaging.  After I saw the cute box and protective storage bag, I was sure that Majestical Jewelry would have to be reserved for “special occasion” gifts (you know, birthday, Christmas, Mother’s Day, etc…).  But, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Majestical offers beautiful, high-quality pieces at affordable prices.  

Here's the storage bag my jewelry came in.

 I was equally impressed when I opened the bag and saw the contents.

 Now, I'm usually a Plain Jane when it comes to jewelry.  But, I thought I'd step outside the box and try these out.  The neutral colors made it easy for me to choose an outfit to wear them with.  Here's a closeup picture to show you the actual size of these earrings and to highlight a few more details that the picture above simply leaves out. 

 Needless to say, I'll be browsing the Majestical website to find some other great pieces of jewelry that I can add to my jewelry box! 

By the way, just for reading this blog post, I have a special offer for you!  If you visit the Majestical website and make a purchase of $55 or more, you can receive $15 off by using the promotional code 15DOLLARSOFF at checkout. Happy shopping!

 

Mophie Juice Pack Helium Review

One of the items that Santa left for me this Christmas was the Mophie Juice Pack Helium for my iPhone 5.  A week later, and I'm already in love with the Mophie and can't figure out how I've survived this long without one.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Mophie Juice Pack, it is an extra battery for the iPhone that also doubles as a protective case!  Amazing, right?  How many times have you been at the store, at your kid's game or practice, or in the middle of an important meeting when your phone's battery decided to die?  I can't even count how many times it's happened to me.  And, it's always at the most inopportune times when there is nowhere possible for you to charge your phone.

Well, this case can be charged and stored in the "off" position until you're in need of battery boost.  When your phone dies, you simply switch the Mophie case on and instantly your phone begins to charge.  The Mophie boasts that it can restore your phone's battery up to 80% which gives you 6 hours of talk time, 30 hours of audio playback time, 7 hours of video playback time, or about 6 hours internet use!

The case comes precharged, which means that it's ready to use as soon as it's purchased!  That feature made me have confidence in the fact that the Mophie case can hold a charge for several days and maybe even weeks when it's stored kept in the "off" position.

The case is easy to put on the phone and it comes with a cord that allows you to simultaneously charge the phone and the case so that you don't have to bother with removing the case each time you need to charge your phone.

I love my Mophie and am so excited that I have an answer for when I'm in need of a power boost for my iPhone when I'm not in a position to charge it otherwise.  I highly recommend the Mophie!

Lancome DreamTone Review

I received this product free by participating in the She Speaks Lancome Dream Tone Program.  All opinions are my own.  


I absolutely love getting new beauty products in the mail and I'm doubly excited when those products happen to be free!  I received this product free from She Speaks and Lancome in exchange for an honest opinion about the product. 

The product I'm reviewing is Lancome DreamTone dark spot corrector.  If you're not familiar with this product, it is a serum that promises to fade dark spots, correct imperfections, and yield an even skin tone.  I've been using the product for three weeks now, and I can already tell a difference!

I added this product to my daily facial regimen and I have been very pleased with the results so far.  DreamTone is easy to apply and though it is very rich and creamy, it doesn't leave behind a residue nor does it change the appearance of my makeup. In fact, my makeup appears to keep that "just applied" look for a longer time. 

Within the first week of using DreamTone, I could already tell that some of my dark spots were looking more even and that my face had a more consistent hue!  Darker spots were visibly lighter and my complexion was more even.  Even without makeup, my skin looks more youthful and radiant.

I really like this product and am looking forward to adding this product to my beauty cabinet!

DreamTone comes in different shades so you will need to find the shade that most closely fits with your skin tone.  I am using Dark and it is great for me.  DreamTone retails for $98, but, since you only have to use a small amount, it'll last for a while.  I've been using it morning and night, for three weeks and I still have plenty.

Overall, I've been very impressed with this product and would recommend it for anyone who has been battling dark spots and uneven skin tone.

Nerf Cyber Hoop Review

I was recently selected to receive a free Nerf Cyber Hoop to try out as a part of my Bzz Agent membership. I'm usually all over the products when they come in, but this time, I decided to leave this one to the expert--my twelve-year-old son. 

He was so excited to see what he thought was the traditional Nerf Hoop. But, upon closer inspection, he saw that this one was better than the old. He was able to download the Nerf Cyber Hoop iPhone app that keeps score, has sound effects, and also allows him to record video clips to make highlight videos!

        (Perfecting his backwards shot! )

He has really enjoyed every minute of playing with the Nerf Hoop! 

Thanks, Bzz Agent, for picking me for this campaign!
