The Fast Metabolism Diet Book Review



I received a free copy of the "Fast Metabolism Diet Book" from SheSpeaks. I was excited to try something new, and this book's premise looked promising. After 30 days, I have to say, there are some good ideas in the book. 

Haylie Pomroy has some interesting ideas to help you boost your metabolism without wrecking your health or starving. One of my favorite parts of the book is the meal plans lists that show you exactly what you should eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are four weeks of meal plans and many recipes.

Nevertheless, I don't want to give you the impression that this is an easy diet to follow. This is not a simple plan. It takes a lot of effort to do it. Plus a warning for my readers: If any of you can't have gluten or dairy, you will have a hard time following some of the  advice. If you have other diet restrictions such as allergies to certain fruits or nuts, this will also make it more difficult. The "Fast Metabolism Diet Book" has some good ideas, but it may not work for everyone.

L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream Review


I had the chance to try the L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream thanks to SheSpeaks. It promised sheer coverage and easy application. The 1 oz cream is available in several shades. 

The BB cream is white and blends into your skin as you apply it. It promises to hydrate, prime, perfect and correct. I noticed that it does blend into your skin easily, but the coverage is very sheer. Visit the L'Oréal website to learn more. This cream is available in Fair, Light, Medium and Deep shades. The Fair shade I received was very light and works well for pale skin.



Swatch test above. As you can see, the L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream comes out as white from the container.

 

The skin test. The BB cream blends well and disappears, but the coverage is very sheer and does not hide all blemishes. 

Disclosure: I received a complimentary sample of L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.
