"Yes to." Product Review

Hi all!

Sorry it's been so long in between blogs, I have been rather busy this week with work, and an online class I am quite "over". Since I am due for another blog anyway, and I just tried out a product for the first time, I will give a product review on it.


So if you remember in my old blog about my Target Super Mini Haul, I purchased the Yes to. Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial Wipes. I haven't had a chance to test them out until today so I did and have a bit to say about them.

Firstly, the moistness of the towels is really good. To reiterate, it didn't come out of the packet mostly dry after a while like some do when purchased.

You could also really smell the cucumber in it. Intensely. In fact, almost overpowering. For some, that might be pretty awesome, but for me, it was a little too much.

Finally, application of the towel in makeup removing. It removed make up quite well, but remember how I said this is supposed to be hypo-allergenic? The reason I bought it in the first place? Well unfortunately, I guess it wasn't hypo-allergenic enough for me because soon after I applied it to my face, my whole face started to burn and itch. Hopefully I don't get a rash, but I have Benadryl just in case. I was so disappointed with what happened, that I can't even use the other nine towels.

Rating: 1/10, point going for moistness. The smell and the itching/burning of my face made my rating go way down. I would like to try their other products, but now I am a bit worried the same thing will happen again. Hopefully not.


So I decided to check the product reviews on their actual website and I am not the only person who got mild skin irritation from this. Other reviews discuss redness, burning, itching, rawness. I hope if you have or will try this product that it does not happen to you as well. So far, thirty minutes have passed and my face still itches. Sigh.

Update: One full hour has went by and I have applied my anti-itch cream. It took some of the irritation away, mostly natural, as well. Maybe I'll do a review on it later.




Has this ever happened to you before? Where something hypo-allergenic caused minor, mild, or major skin irritation on you? Also, what hypoallergenic skin care products do you recommend? Let me know in the comments below.

Review: myCharge Energy Shot - Portable Charger

Hi all! Today, I'm doing a review on the portable phone/tablet charger I got at Target, last week. I first mentioned the charger in my "Super-Mini Target Haul" blog I did on Thursday, the 7th. A bit of background info on the charger: myCharge Energy Shot - Portable Charger is the name of the model, I got it in a light blue with polka dots. It was $19.99 and boasted 9+ hours of talk time and 7+ hours of data browsing at 3G levels. You get one month to return it as well if it does not work out for you. However, I am not quite sure what this would translate to for my phone. Most phones have 4G/4G LTE now, which means that the hours will vary depending on your data plan. The technical information is: Capacity - 2000mAh, Input - 5VDC, 1.0A , & Output - 5VDC, 1.0A

So I waited until my phone got to 15% and plugged it in. Before it got low and died on me, it got my phone back up to about 56%, which was great for what I needed it for. It did not overheat and is compact enough to conveniently carry in a handbag. Not sure I would keep it in my pocket though, considering it is actually a battery inside.It does however boast that it has multiple levels of battery protection, such as from overheating, or short circuiting.  Also, this is review is based off it's pre-charged levels. The pre-charged level starts on green, but green can mean anywhere from 71-100% charged. For now, I am giving this a 7.5 out of 10, just because I thought it might have recharged to a bit higher than 56%.  I will do an update when I fully re-charge it and test it out again. I'll post some photos below of what you should expect to see or deal with while using the charger.

This is what the package includes: charger, small instruction manual, a carrying pouch, and the recharging usb cable

This is what you will see on the top of the charger, when you plug it into the large usb port, you are charging your phone/tablet, and when you plug it into the small usb port, you are recharging your charger,

This is what it looks like when you plug the usb in for recharging.

There are three ways to charge with the usb recharger: computer, usb compatible car charger, or usb compatible wall plug. While it is charging, it will either flash red, (maybe yellow), or green to show it is charging and at what level it currently is in.

To test to see if the charger is full, or mostly full, give it a shake and it will shine green. The levels are as follows: red 0-40%, yellow 41-70%, & green 71-100%.

Hope my review helps! If you own this portable charger or any other kind, let me know how it is going for you. :)


Till next time!

Super-Mini Target Haul!

Hi there! So yesterday, I went to the mall to find some clothing for my new job that starts later this month. On that score I came up short due to all the people at the mall and stores buying things up for "back to school" shopping. However, I went to target and picked up a few items and got one work shirt in a medium from Merona. I would have gotten more, but just about every medium in every color I liked was sold out. I will be checking online later to see if they have more colors later. A few other things I picked up will be useful for work too either appearance wise, or practicality so I will do a mini haul of the few things I picked up from Target. Once I get more things, I will do a bigger haul. A few of the items used I will make separate review posts about them in the near future. Without further ado, here are the items I got at Target:

Merona Women's medium ultimate V neck black and white striped shirt.

.

Rimmel London- Eyebrow Pencil 004 (Brown Black)

Sally Hansen - Strengthening Top Coat nail polish

Yes to Cucumber - Soothing hypoallergenic facial wipes

myCharge Energy Shot- Portable Charger

Hope you enjoyed my super-mini haul! Reviews to come soon!


Till next time!
