Evologie Blemish Clearing Duo Review

Evologie had a sample giveaway recently, and they were kind enough to send me some samples of their Stay Clear Cream and Intensive Blemish Serum to try out and review, because they're so awesome!!



"Evologie is an advanced blemish control breakthrough effective for teens and adults. It's ideal for men and women of all skin types and ethnicities. Developed by a team of doctors, clinical results proved users had significantly faster clearing of their blemishes and a marked decrease in breakouts. Evologie's patent-pending YS3 COMPLEX works by intensifying your skin's healing power.

eSYSTEM consists of an Intensive Blemish Serum that rapidly clears blemishes, and a Stay Clear Cream that keeps skin clear, moisturized, and helps reduce breakouts, post-blemish scarring, and skin discoloration. Together, the Serum and Cream will make your skin visibly clearer, look healthier, and feel smoother without dryness, irritation, or redness."

These two products have been working great for me! I started using them about a week ago now, and they have kept my skin clear and beautiful!

*A little background on my skin: I have a "normal" skin type, maybe leaning a little on the oily side. But I normally have clear, soft skin that isn't dry or too oily, either. But when I go on vacation or road trips, and I happen to go to a different climate, my skin freaks out a little bit!!! Recently, my husband and I took a trip down to Austin, TX, which is where we're both from. My skin, which is now used to Fort Collins, CO, (pretty dry and cool) weather, started to get uber oily and weird (it's very humid and muggy in Austin). By the time we were heading home, I had quite a few breakouts. My skin slowly started to recover after we got home, and then I saw Evologie's sample giveaway, and it was actually just what I had been looking for!! I had been wanting a blemish serum and a blemish cream to top it off.

Well, I received the sample duo (thank you, Evologie!) and started using them right away. With daily cleansing, this duo made my skin quickly clear up and go back to normal.

You're supposed to use the serum as a little spot-treatment on your individual blemishes, which is great because a little goes a long way!!! You can put one little dot on your finger, and then dot that on each blemish you have and it'll coat each one. This works really well.
Then you apply the cream to the whole face, or cover your t-zone and problem areas with it. I love the consistency of it, and this cream also goes a long way with only a little. It doesn't leave my face feeling weird, in fact, it leaves it feeling smooth and good, and even moisturized! I've really enjoyed using these products, and am very much thinking about getting the full-sized products to continue using! They're that good!!

For someone who only has occasional breakouts, having something like this around is really great. I can use the cream to keep my skin clear and healthy and beautiful, and I can use the serum on the rare occasions that I have some big bad blemishes!!! Thank you Evologie!

POWBAB Superfruit Chew Review!!

powbab Superfruit Chews are amazing little dietary supplements made from the African fruit from the Baobab tree! You're supposed to take one chew per day, and it boosts your immunity, slows oxidative damage and reduces inflammation! powbab was generous enough to send me a few samples to try, and I'd like to tell you about my experience and about the chews!


Baobab has 2.5 times more antioxidants than pomegranates and has been eaten for thousands of years by Africans for nutrition.

I got the pomegranate/acai berry flavor, and I have to say: I totally wish you were supposed to have more than one per day!!! These tiny chews pack a flavorful punch. You just unwrap the little silver wrapper on the chew, and on the inside is a small square, beautiful pinkish red fruit chew that tastes sweet and tart, has the perfect consistency, and is over all too quick! I like to savor it, and chew it for a while so that I can get all the taste and (in my mind) release all the vitamins! I really love the flavor and the chewiness. 

powbab is gluten, dairy, soy, nut, and egg FREE. It doesn't have salt, synthetic flavors, or preservatives either! They are also vegan and use fair trade practices! "Organic Baobab fruit pulp is naturally 50% fiber- no synthetics added. Our mission is to make a supplement as natural as possible" How cool is that?!

A little note on the Baobab tree: "Baobab, an ancient superfruit, is known as "The Tree of Life" in Africa. Some Baobab trees are 1,000+ years old with historical nutritional & medicinal usages by Africans and Egyptians. Baobab fruit pulp is sustainably harvested, preserving Africa's trees and local rural villages. Baobab fruit pulp alone delivers more antioxidants than acai berries or 2.5x that of pomegranates, delivering immunity strength & slowing oxidative damage. One chew meets daily antioxidant needs, the equivalent antioxidant level of: 2 1/2 tomatoes, 2 1/2 cups of spinach, and half an orange! 

So if you're looking for an all natural alternative to pill-form vitamins and minerals, I would say go powbab! The health benefits, the taste, the convenience, and basically everything about this product makes it perfect for someone like me who hates taking pills and always forgets my vitamins. It would never be difficult for me to forget to eat a powbab chew!!!

Rebootizer Review!!

Recently I was given the opportunity to give Rebootizer, a detox/antioxidant drink, a day in court!

Rebootizer is a Swiss-formulated wellness booster designed to promote athletic performance/recovery and cell protection. The proprietary Vitamin C and herbal supplement blend is made from 7 natural fruit and plant extracts to be your “all in one” product for antioxidant support, detox assistance, and to help eliminate free radicals and toxins in the body. There are a host of different occasions that cause high oxidative stress levels in our bodies and those are great opportunities to Reboot, such as the strenuous exercise, overindulgence of food/drink, sun exposure, traveling and much more. We also deliver the extracts to you through our patented MixPack System. The dual pouch design keeps the extracts separated from the reverse osmosis purified water until you're ready to drink - ensuring maximum bio-availability and for rapid absorption within the body.

This product is truly innovative and amazing! 




I used mine first after I ate a really big burger, which made me feel full and fat, lol!! But when I drank the Rebootizer, it actually made all that go away. I felt pretty much like before I had eaten the burger, besides my somewhat full stomach :) The second one I used was after we had gone camping, and we had eaten steaks and potatoes and had drank some beers. When we got home early the next morning, I drank a Rebootizer and I almost instantly felt great like I had slept at home in my bed and had a good breakfast. I really like the packaging as well, where it has the water in a separate compartment than the actual vitamins and minerals. They say it's because when vitamins are left in liquid, they can become less potent, and also when they are in pill form. So doing it the way they do it help to keep the vitamins and minerals potent and active all the way to your cells! When you squeeze the bottom and mix the two compartments, it activates the drink, and then you've got to drink it right away! 

Rebootizer can be taken before or after exercise, after food or drink indulgence, after traveling, after smoke or UV exposure, or anytime you're feeling you need a little boost. It should help you recover more quickly, maintain better performance, and promote your long-term wellness :)

I truly like this product quite a lot and think it works really well and is very innovative! Should you like to learn more about it or reach out to them, here is where you can find them:
