Adovia Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Review:
$19 Value - Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner - Deeply Hydrating and Nourishing on Scalp & Hair Review.
I like the Dead Sea Salt Deep Hair Conditioner. I like that it feels weightless and leaves my hair feeling soft.
It is suppose to be for men and women but for me I like the smell but it seems like it's more for a man. The scent to me is between baby powder and a musk. It hydrated my hair nicely and the scent stays noticeable in my hair for days after I use it but it is not as strong as when you first put the conditioner in your hair. I left it in my hair for 3-5 minutes as I did my other things. (only one way to see how long a scent will linger for and how strong. I do have to say that it did help with my dry scalp but with continued use I think it would help even more.
The conditioner itself is very easy to use, has a nice smell (but more for a man), weightless and is creamy and has a nice texture.
I recommend this to my male friends and family. My husband will like this.

Dead Sea Mud Mask - Review:
PURE Essential Minerals Dead Sea Mud Mask...
1st time use was a cooling and minty feeling. Gets hard on the face so you can tell when it's dry.
This is the best facial mask I have ever used, I don't use many if any facial products since I have sensitive skin, but I love this mask. I will continue to use it. It has a great minty scent, it feeling very cooling and nice on the skin after it dries (about 10 minutes) you wash it off with warm water and it leaves your face feeling tight and rejuvenated. I also want to state that the shipping was quick, only a few days. I 100% recommend this product to anyone. 5 Star review for overall greatness. Smell, feel, look and ease of use.

Now for my actual review:

Honestly, this is where I have to say for once I really don't have much to say. So I will start with some feelings/wishes that pertain to other things about phones. I miss the slide-out keyboard (and wish Apple would put that on the iPhone) and I miss some Android apps, otherwise, I really can't say. I do have to say compared to some other phones I've had and used I love the display and the color is really nice.I will also say that whatever you do and I cannot stress this enough, Please DO NOT download a Beta version of iOS, unless you are prepared to deal with bugs. I had the beta version of iOS 7 and was not prepared to deal with all the bugs it really had though I thought I was.

The sleekness really does a great job for the look and feel of the phone. The iPhone 5 is really nice. It is fast almost lighting fast. The boot-up is even fast, faster than all the android phones and tablets I have and had or used. I like the lighting port, no need to fumble on which way goes which way and seems to charge faster than android, but that could just be the battery, technology, and OS.
Some features I like about the OS is the Find my iPhone, where if you misplaced, lost or your phone was stolen, you can play a sound even when in silent mode, lock or erase all info. Also the fact that now you no longer need to carry a flashlight or have an app, you can access a flashlight right from the lock screen drag/pull-up control center. Brightness in also right there in the pull-up control center menu, along with your basic options of Bluetooth, airplane mode, Wi-Fi, nighttime mode, and lock rotation. Some other things on that same pull-up menu are, calculator, camera, music player, timer, AirDrop, and AirPlay. The pull-down menu is notifications and calendar. The settings can get confusing at times but lots of options.Other then that not much to say, so for now I will leave this here and say that if I think of anything else I will do an edit and state that.
*Note: I tried to do lots of pictures, which really don't do this phone justice. I also tried to put pictures of what I talked about where I talked about it. Somewhere dimmed screen and others were full brightness. Like the two above show the command center to the right and the left is the notifications center they were both actually the lowest brightness.Those were also screen shots. Very nice feature I should add since it was easy to take those photos, love being able to take a screenshot, very easy by pushing the home key and the power key at the same time but sometimes is a pain seeing as it's about timing, pushing both at the same time.

(Note: It is normal for the tablet surface to become warm during charging or long periods of use.
(Note: If the tablet is not being used regularly, it is recommended to charge the battery fully once a month.)

So those were the features and specs, it's now time for my review. Let's just start with why I would not buy the Zeki tablet again.
- To me, it's a fake wannabe android tablet and the reason I say this is because for me to consider an Android to be Android, it must have Google Play Store, not some weird mall or store that doesn't seem to respond or work 1/2 the time.
- The mall that it comes with to purchase & download apps just sucks. It doesn't respond well and seems to freeze quite often. The only upside to this is that Amazon App Store is preloaded.
- I don't like how warm it can get just from charging or using the tablet, I feel like it could cook an egg, though it's probably not possible but I'm not going to attempt that.

Schick Hydro Silk razor:
(Free From BzzAgent, to test, review and keep)
So, I have to say I do love the Schick Hydro Silk razor, but not for all areas on my body. I tried this on the underarms, legs and (one area I personally don’t like doing but wanted to put all the information in and do a great review) the pubic area. For the legs, it was awesome and gave a smooth silky finish compared to my normal razor (the Schick Intuition). I did not however like the Schick Hydro Silk razor for my underarms, as for me there was way too much drag and felt uncomfortable again compared to my normal razor (the Schick Intuition, which feels comfortable and most of the time without drag). For the pubic area (which I don’t normally like shaving (and if anything I rather Nair if I want to be clean of hair down there) it had some drag and wasn't too uncomfortable, but I don’t prefer this razor or any razor for that matter.
Details on the Schick Hydro Silk razor include (the one BzzAgent gave me for free to try and then review include:
