I bought this tea because I love the Aveda calming tea, and several of the reviews said it was very similar. I was also concerned because several reviews said the mint was way too strong. The directions say to steep the tea for 5-10 minutes. If you do that, you will get a VERY strong mint flavor and it is overwhelming (not like the tea from the salon). I tried it twice, once I left it about 10 minutes and the second I left it at least 5 minutes (possibly more). So I tried it again but only let it steep for about 3 minutes and it is MUCH better. The flavor is more mild and the flavors meld together better. I might even try it a little less (maybe two minutes) as I really like more subtle tea. Obviously you can't beat the price, and if you play around with the times, you will get something similar to the Aveda calming tea for a much better price.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered Shrink toning lotion, but it sounded promising so I thought I'd give it a try. I apply it daily, before I go on my work out, and am already seeing results only a little over a week later. It tones and tightens the skin where applied (be sure to massage until thoroughly absorbed into skin). It is great for getting rid of stubborn belly fat, and even does wonders for cellulite. I have been very pleasantly surprised with how quickly and effectively this toning lotion is working.. I can tell the difference not only in how my skin feels but even how it looks. I will definitely be ordering more before I run out, and would recommend to anyone looking for a little boost in toning up.
