This is officially my first full-blown product review and I'm really excited. Not only because I have a giveaway at the end, but because I loved these products.
I normally dislike writing reviews - I blame my journalism days and internship. At one point I got all reviewed out, which is why you haven't seen any reviews on my blog. If I'm writing a review, you know it's for something good!
At the end of June, I received Neocell's Beauty Bursts and Keratin Hair Volumizer. I was so excited to start the beauty bursts because - well - I love candy and that is exactly what they taste like!! I got the berry burst, because I had read in another review they tasted like Starbursts. I'm all about the Starbursts. Plus, if I can chew my vitamins, I am a happy girl. (Aka, when I found out they have gummy prenatals I decided I could get pregnant.)
I was super excited to see these Beauty Bursts at Sprouts, so that I can replenish my stock. A recommended dosage is 2 per day, and I can honestly say I looked forward to chewing them.
Not only did they taste delicious, but they saved my skin! I probably didn't mention it on here because I don't usually talk about my appearance, but for the past 6 months or so, I had a weird dry spot on my left cheek. No matter what I did, it would always come back. I think it's from my contact solution. But I tried everything my friends and I could think of and it always came back.
Before, notice the discoloration and bumps on my left cheek |
Well now it is gone! My skin is SO soft and definitely not dry. Also, I'm sure my skin would look worlds better if I washed my face on a daily basis, but I suck at creating habits...so there's that.
After! Even skin tone, no more dry patch |
The Keratin Hair Volumizer is a pill, which is not usually my cup of tea. I really suck at remembering to swallow pills, so I didn't take these as religiously. My hair is quite voluminous on its own though, so I wasn't super concerned. I was lucky enough to receive two bottles, and I gave one to my mom because she has thin hair (aka opposite of me). She hasn't started taking them yet, but she is saving them for when she is growing her hair back after chemo.

ReplyDeleteI fear I would eat these like candy literally. What? I don't need 2000% of vitamin C? Sadness! ;)

ReplyDeleteI also like taking vitamins in gummy form.. like an adult. :) Your skin looks great btw!
ReplyDeleteOh, your skin looks wonderful. I also struggle with going through my entire skin care regimen every single day. (and I am an esthetician) so don't feel bad! haha
ReplyDelete1. You are SO adorable. You look the same as you did in Junior High...im starting to think that you will NEVER AGE! If these things are your secret , I want in!

ReplyDeleteThey're so the best!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! They are delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do!!
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks great. The only pill/vitamin I've been taking lately is prenatals with folic acid as per my Doctor's request. Man, it's been helping with my nail growth tremendously.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I am going to have to try those. You have great skin.
ReplyDeleteI should be taking prenatals to prepare to get pregnant (my doctor recommended it). Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
ReplyDeleteYour skin looks AWESOME! Seriously so good.
ReplyDeleteThose look awesome! I might have to try them!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful skin! I'm so glad you had a good experience - I ended up breaking out because of one of these, so I quit them immediately! After 2 months, I'm still struggling to get my skin to being as clear as it was beforehand.
ReplyDeleteAwesome that they helped you :) I've heard really mixed things about them so I'm scared to try - hormones are still too crazy post pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like ab awesome product, like you I can never for the life of me remember to take vitamins. Cool giveaway
ReplyDeleteI'm super intrigued by those! my hair has the hardest time growing....it's so so slow! i don't really have issues with volume, but i wonder if they help hair grow...
ReplyDeleteMy hair grows so much!!! I take daily vitamins but I have a lot of thicky messy hair lol
ReplyDeleteThey all look fantastic! I hate how slow my hair appears to grow because it's so curly. It's always great when you find fantastic products to help you feel beautiful!
ReplyDeleteaww, thank you so much!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely do it!
ReplyDeleteOh no!! That is horrible!! :( I guess it varies person to person
ReplyDeleteOhh, yeah, luckily I am finally extra hormone free for once (no birth control and not currently pregnant) so I think I reacted well to it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I totally suck at it but this was like eating candy, so of course I never forgot (ok, I forgot like twice)
ReplyDeleteThey do! The beauty bursts help your hair grow, too! My hair grows pretty fast, but everyone's been telling me I have mermaid hair since I started taking these
ReplyDeletehahaha that is how my hair is!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is great!! Curly hair totally tricks you until you straighten it!
ReplyDeleteAfter switching to a protein based shampoo my hair grows so much better and looks healthier. This looks like a fab product!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing a lot about these Beauty Bursts. I'm going to have to try them out for myself!
ReplyDeleteThe Beauty Bursts sound great! I'd love something to help clear up the dry skin spots on my face!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Great review. I have some dry skin spot on my face that could use a little love!
ReplyDeleteVitamins that taste like starbrust I think thats a brilliant idea, it's great they've helped clear up your skin issue :-)
ReplyDeleteYou had me at candy! Looks like it worked wonders for your skin. I usually take a prenatal that works really well for my hair and nails.
ReplyDeleteOhh, I will have to try some like that!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely what they helped me with the most!!
ReplyDeleteI hope these help you! They definitely helped me
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I definitely love the candy tasting vitamins :)
ReplyDeleteI need to start being more diligent with prenatals!
