Night Restoring Formula Eye Serum by Walker Lane & Co. Review

Through my “day” job as a features coordinator for a large health and beauty media outlet, I see 1000s of serums. Many of these serums are intended to focus upon the delicate are around the eye and many of them fall so short on their claims. With my previous experiences, I wasn’t expecting too much from Walker Lane & Co. Would this time be different from the others? I could only hope.

For this review, I used my cousin Kirsten as a “model” since she often has issues with both dark circles and puffy eyes. She also has very sensitive skin. Her skin is so sensitive that she has had a lot of issues with products … even ones made for sensitive skin! I wasn't sure about this product as I had never heard of the company, but we were willing to give it a try based upon a lot of positive feedback from other users.

Kirsten began her adventure with Night Restoring Formula Eye Serum by Walker Lane & Co. by researching each of the clearly listed ingredients. All are amazing for the skin. And Walker Lane & Co. serum is paraben free, dyes free, vegan, and organic! So, the first night … Kirsten applied the serum as directed (Directions are clearly stated on the bottle) and reported that there is a really lovely; calming light scent that I’m guessing is from the organic lavender. It didn’t bother her eyes and she stated that it was light versus greasy like others that she (and I) has used. Below is the before and after of Kirsten for one full week of use! She is thrilled and under her eyes looks so much better.

Night Restoring Formula Eye Serum by Walker Lane & Co. Features:

• Promotes Cellular Renewal
• Promotes Hydration
• Has Anti-Inflammatory Properties 
• Organic
• Vegan
• Cruelty-Free
• Made In The USA

The Night Restoring Formula Eye Serum by Walker Lane & Co. sells for $24.99 on Amazon and I’m so impressed with Kirsten’s results that I’m buying some for myself! She’s so thrilled with the results that she’s buying more and we’re both hoping that this brand offers more skin care products!

Best Slant Tweezers by Simple Essentials Review

Hello Pop Culture Shock Readers! Yay! The weekend’s almost here! I know that I’m silly because I still get as excited as a little kid about the weekend. Moving on … before I go on to enjoy said weekend, I’m going to share with you all a quick review of the Best Slant Tweezers by Simple Essentials.

With a price point that is less then half of the most popular brand of slanted tweezers, I seriously wasn’t expecting too much. I’m fairly certain that we’ve all grabbed an inexpensive pair of tweezers and experienced the disappointment when the tweezers fail to deliver. So color me happy because these babies -- at a mere $10.77 -- are comfortable with a nice grip, sharp for ease of the pluck and are very precise!

• Made From Stainless Steel
• Calibrated For Ease Of Use

Pimsleur Spanish 1 Gold Edition Language Learning Course Review

Um … for those who know me, this isn’t the first time that I’ve tried to teach myself Spanish. I blame my inability to obtain fluency in any language (my mother language of English included) on one Madame Bianeque. This woman was my French tyrant … oops … I mean teacher and she essentially terrorized me. I still have nightmares, but I digress.

The aforementioned story is about as interesting as the 16 CD/ 30 Lesson Pimsleur Spanish 1 Gold Edition ($345 currently on sale for $115). Yes, it’s been featured on PBS and has a reputation for being an amazing avenue to rapidly learn another language. And yes, this program does work if can stick with it. The program can easily be copied to your iTunes library, which makes learning on the go even easier. If you’re committed to learning Spanish, this is the way to go.

Pimsleur Spanish 1 Language Learning Course Features:

• 100% audio-based Spanish course
• Learn Spanish On The Go
• Based on Dr. Pimsleur's famous research
• Purchased by the FBI

The Pimsleur Spanish 1 Gold Edition can be purchased for $64.86 on Amazon!

Shandali Yoga Towel Review

I’ve recently began to take Yoga classes again, in an effort to calm the inner insanity, and what I thought was going to be a chill-Zen type of a thing is actually a bit of a workout. So, I learned rather quickly that sweating was part of the deal and that a “shared” Yoga mat wasn’t going to work for me. Enter the Shandali Yoga Towel … 

The Shandali GOSWEAT Yoga Towel is a large -- 26.5” wide x 72” -- highly absorbent towel that fits perfect over a Yoga mat and is designed to prevent slipping and creates a hygienic layer between you and the mat. The material is super soft, made of Micro-fiber: 80% Polyester/20% Nylon, and weighs about 350 grams. The performance of the towel is great and it doesn’t move during exercising. I’ve washed the towel several times and there’s been no shrinking or fading.

Shandali GOSWEAT Yoga Towel Features: 

• Available In Eight Shades
• Large 26.5” wide x 72”
• Highly Absorbent
• Super Soft 
• Machine Wash

The Shandali GOSWEAT Yoga Towel sells for $19.99 on Amazon and the company has a 30 day return policy! 

Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife Review

Let’s begin with a little clarification regarding knives … while, yes, knives can be used as weapons, so too can my pen and as far as I’m concerned we need to take things in the context of which they’re meant. With that said, let’s move onto the review of The Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife.

The Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife is the “little brother” of The Gerber Bear Grylls Scout Knife with an overall length is about 5 inches. The blade length is about 2 inches, with a closed length of only 2.6 inches and weighs less then an ounce. The blade is made of high carbon stainless steel with an anti-reflective coating. The blade has a useful drop point design, which is excellent for general purposes like camping and fishing … and um … shopping like when you buy a new gadget for your phone (that you HAVE to play with) and it’s encased in alien plastic that requires a knife to remove.

Blade Specs:

• Overall Length: 4.62"
• Blade Length: 1.96"
• Closed Length: 2.65"
• Weight: 0.6 oz.
• Lock Mechanism: Lock-back
• Blade Style: Drop Point
• Blade Material: 420HC Stainless Steel
• Blade Type: Fine
• Handle Material: Glass-filled nylon

The blade conveniently tucks away for safe carrying and opens easily with a thumbnail notch. About a third of the blade is serrated, which is why it was useful when extracted my new phone gadget from the alien plastic encasing, the remainder of the blade is a typical fine edge. Overall it’s a decent general-purpose knife that comes with an added bonus of Bear Grylls Priorities of Survival Pocket Guide -- in case us ladies get stuck with something really tragic like a broken nail -- and at $12.96 this is a fairly decent knife to own and makes a great gift. You can get the Gerber Bear Grylls Compact Scout Knife on Amazon!
