Ancient Greek Elixirs Perfume Oil in Nymph and Eros

The samples come in mini apothecary bottles with a cork top(pic from shop)

I have really been trying to make all of my beauty products as green as possible so I have finally gotten into exploring organic perfumes.I found Ancient Greek Elixir when I was doing my daily etsy scour (yes I'm obsessed) , I was really intrigued by how all the perfumes are named after Greek gods/ goddess and Greek mythology.

My 2 Cent's:
Nymph:(scent as described on etsy) peach, chamomile, apple, cherry for fruity freshness
Nymph is defiantly a  fruity scent, I pick up a lot of the cherry and it sorta reminds me of a cherry almond soap I had and a little bit of tropical juice.

Sum up Nymph in two words
Youthfull and Fruity

Eros:(scent as described on etsy) vanilla, myrph, cinnamon, lily, cornmint for seductive feeling
Eros is a smooth scent that is true to its notes,it starts out with a really earthy vanilla scent and then dries down to a floral and minty scent

Sum up Eros in two words
Fresh and Exotic

Con:Both scents were amazingly crafted but I wish they had more staying power.

Cost: (samples) $7 for 2 samples

Review: Waxelene

Since I have started my journey to use more organic and natural products I have been searching for a substitute to one my must coveted products--Vaseline. So when I heard about Waxelene a beeswax based natural alternative to Vaseline I was more than overjoyed.

New flip tube design.

Vaseline-like consistency

My 2 Cent's: When I first got it I really wasn't a fan of the earthy rosemary scent but I grew to love it and the oily/creamy consistency.I only got to use it for about a week before my mom spotted it in my purse when she was looking for some hand lotion and followed by asking me " what is this" I told her it was was Waxelene  a substitute for Vaseline and she tried some right away and ended up really loving it so I decided to pass it on to her.

My Mom's 2 Cent's: I have very sensitive lip so when I tried Waxelene out  it was the most soothing feeling I have had on my lips ever.I will never use anything else on my lips but Waxelene and I never want to be without it. It is definitely what you would call a love affair because I was instantly in love. I wanted to use it all over my body but the tube was so small I  reserved it only for my lips. I really believe it was made with tender love and caring.

We Sum it up in 2 words: Lovely and Soothing

Con for me: The smell initially
Con for my mom: The size

Cost $4.99

Ingredients:
Organic Soy Oil, Beeswax, Organic Rosemary Oil, and Natural Vitamin E

FTC Disclosure: I was sent the Waxelene flip tube for reviewing purposes.Thank you so much Ejyo for sending it out to us!

Review: iLuv Neon Sound High-Performance Earphone

The majority of the time I have my headphones in and I am listening to a multitude of genres. So when it comes to headphones I need something that's has clarity,isolation and is sturdy, which the iLuv Neon Sound High-performance earphones have.

Sleek tangle-free cord

My 2 Cent's:

The earphones features a built in mic,volume control , pause and play button (that can be used to answer incoming calls). they have the alfredo style cord design that I have been seeing around my school a lot,which is actually nice because it does eradicate any tangle issues. The sound to me is crisp and clear and balanced but slightly bass heavy. I have had these since November so that's about three months and that's more than I can say for most of the previous headphones I've had and most certainly can't forgot to discuss all the electric color options which can match any device you have.

Sum it up in 2 words: Sturdy and Clear.
Con:None
Cost: $24.99 (I got them for a lot less at marshalls)

Review: Bubble & Bee's Jasmint Pit Putty Cream

The struggle to find a really good and long-lasting organic/natural deodorant is like trying to find a diamond in a ruff, so when I had the chance to review Bubble & Bee's Organic Jasmint Putty Cream I was excited to be able to give natural deodorants another chance.

My Two Cent's: I really enjoyed using it the first few days I applied it because the consistency was creamy and  it had a sweet jasmine and peppermint scent added in with a nice cooling after effect,but after a few day of using it slightly started to make my armpits feel a little sensitive and the lasting affect of the deodorant seemed to wear away mysteriously. I will not lie I sweat a lot more in one armpit then I do in the other so its hard to find a regular deodorant that works well ,So the fact that Bubble Bee's organic held me for a few hours is more than I can say for most natural deodorants. the deodrant is in a cream form so it may be a inconvenience for some put I actually find its quicker because you can rub exactly the amount you need and you can  really get in areas around the armpit that you really can't get with a conventional deodorant stick.

Comes in a glass jar with a cap.

The consistency's creamy and easy to apply

Cost:$10.85
Ingredients: Organic arrowroot powder,organic shea butter,organic coconut oil,organic sunflower oil, (aluminum-free) baking soda,organic jasmine extract,organic peppermint essential oil.

Sum up Jasmint Pit Putty Cream in 2 words:Sweet and Creamy

Con: it irritates your armpit after a while and wearing power is not long.
