Amrezy Palette Final Review

Sorry I'm late to posting this blog about my experience with this palette.  I've now used the palette several times and feel I can give an honest review.  I will start off saying, the palette is beautiful and if you collect eye shadow palettes, I think you will want this in your collection.  If you have several ABH palettes, do not collect palettes and don't need to replace a palette, then I would say save your money.  You can find most of the mattes in other ABH palettes and also in single shadows from ABH.  Now some of the pressed glitters and shimmer shades may be of interest if you're an artist or like to play with those type shadows.

Amrezy Palette

Now for the nitty gritty.   I have a hard time wearing ABH shadows every day.  There's something in their formula my eye lids cannot handle.  Today, my eye lids are itching, red and burning.  I shouldn't have worn eye shadow at all but you know me I feel like I have to have something on my lids.  I applied a MAC paint pot which usually doesn't bother me at all but my left eye is still burning and tingling.  I know this doesn't happen to everyone but it could happen.  You never know.

If you've not watched my video on this palette, then you may want to go over to the tube and watch.  I'm giving away a palette if you comment on my video but you need to watch to the end to know how to enter.  Deadline is Saturday, January 25 at Midnight.  I don't advertise my giveaways in the title as I'm not trying to make my channel grow by giveaways.  I do giveaways because I want to give back to my current audience.

Again if this is you're first ABH purchase, I think it's worth the price of $49 or if you simply love Amrezy, then yes please don't let it get away.  Thanks for reading my thoughts.

Vicky's Low Carb Plan - 21 - 30 days

This is what works for me. Please check with your doctor before beginning any weight loss plan.



Coffee - with Neocell Collagen Powder (Half & Half) 

8:30 am Breakfast - Boiled Egg 
Weekends for Breakfast, 2 Scrambled Eggs with 3 strips of Bacon

10:30 am Snack - Almonds or another Boiled Egg or 
Celery with a scoop of Justin's Classic Almond Butter 

Noon - Lunch - Leafy Green Salad with Broccoli - Cheddar Cheese  
Stir Fry Chicken - No Breading - I use real butter, Avocado Oil, seasoned with Black Pepper, Cayenne Powder and Tabasco Sauce
Dressing - Lemon Juice, Vinegar & Olive Oil

Sometimes I will switch to beef stir fry.  

3:00 - Almonds or the Snack Mix with nuts and cheese.  I don't eat the fruit that comes in the packages.  

Decaf Coffee - 1 scoop of Miralax powder as my bowels have a tendency to be sluggish.  

No Meal passed 3:00.  If I do get hungry, I will drink some decaf black coffee or tea with no sweetener.  This helps with cravings.  

Drink at least 64 oz of water.

Perform at least 20 minutes of some kind of activity.  Keep plenty of eggs boiled to help with cravings.  I have never had a cholesterol problem even with me being overweight, my cholesterol is good.   

Toward the end of the 30 days, I might eat a piece of fruit but not everyday.  

At the end of the 30 days, I usually give myself a reward if I've made it without cheating and lost at  a minimum of 5 lbs.  I do not reward myself with food.  I buy a new skincare or makeup product or a piece of clothing, I've been wanting. 

** I do consume some foods or drinks with sugar substitutes. I have never had an issue with sugar substitutes. I’m not following a keto diet. I have used keto strips and have been in ketosis using
Sweet-n-low. Yes I know the supposed side effects but life is short and I’m not going to deprive myself of everything to get to a certain weight on a scale. I understand for some the calorie count may be low but for me that’s what I have to do. I don’t do heavy exercise any more. I do use supplements.
