Cellan Review

I heard about this diet pill through the dirt.com. The guy who runs the site, Nik Richie, has been endorsing it for his followers. I went to yourcellan.com to see what all the buzz was about. They claim that if you use their product you can flatten your stomach, get your best butt, protect your heart and increase your energy. All because of their super ingredient, "African Mango."

African Mango is now the staple for great weight lost, ever since Dr Oz declare that it will help change your life, a "superfood" and a "miracle in the medicine cabinet", he said. I honestly haven't had pure African Mango and i should..since it has great benefits to living a healthy life.

I work out regularly, but lately starting with finals week and this week I have been slacking. Being sick doesn't help either. On Nik Richie's website he claims he use the product to lose weight the "lazy" way. Meaning he stuff his face with junk and still loses weight. He posted pictures and of others who said they have lost weight with Cellan or Cellean (which ever name they want to be called that day).

All I wanted from this diet pill was to have a flat stomach, I have weird bloating, I am fine the way i am but my stomach bothers me. Anyways, I ordered this last month and waited for my package, and waited, and waited. Then I forgot to the do the most important thing in the world when I have to give my credit card information via internet, which is to google them followed by the word "scam." I always do this for any product. I guess I trusted Nik Richie's words so i let my guard down.

I'm not saying this company is a scam but i'm saying their business practice is kinda shady. You can only order there products through a 14 day trial order for 5 bucks (well mine was 5 bucks).  You have up to 14 days to cancel a subscription which is roughly 80 bucks a month. If you don't cancel it by then...then I suggest good luck by having them cancel it afterwards. From all the reviews I have read, this is a number one issue with this company. You get trapped into paying for something that you don't want anymore. and

Luckily I was 6 days into my trial and haven't received anything so I went online to read the reviews and they were scary. I called them (855-235-5261) and told them to cancel everything since I haven't received anything from them and the tracking number doesn't work. They said there is a hold up. I told them they should have informed me through an e-mail and the lady said there was an e-mail that should have been sent. I was nice and respectful and she didn't want me to go without trying this product, so she extended the trial period. So now i have 14 more days to try this. What do you know...I get the product two days later. I went on there facebook page and everyone seemed to be complaining about geting charged the monthly subscription when they haven't seen the product.

I tried the product for about 10 days and gave up. I didn't see any result what so ever. The most that happened to me was the lost of appetite. I didn't get the jitteriness or the sleepless nights that others had reviewed. I just had a lost of appetite. I did however still eat but the lost of appetite came in handy when I worked every day and din't have time to eat. All in all, with all the drama I didn't get the result. I called to cancel and they tried to throw anything my way to keep me, but i was stern about getting out of it. Nothing worst then someone having your credit card information and continually billing you.

My advice, if you want to try it then do so. I think you should be careful. If they don't send you your product call them. Also, read the fine print whenever you buy something that start out as "risk-free" or "free trial"

A Trip To The MAC Store


I haven't been to a MAC store for a while nor have I bought any new make-up. My day started out awful so i took my roommate christmas and birthday shopping for her boyfriend. Before we left the mall, I had to do some window shopping. Of course Window shopping really meant that I would get tempted into buying a lot of stuff. But i was proud of myself and left with two things and only damaged my debit card  (thats right debit card i'm staying away from credit cards for good) with 36 bucks, that's including tax.

First thing I bought was this shimmery blush by MAC in Amberling Rose. What I love about it is that kind of gives a bronze sun kissed glow to your cheeks. I normally stay around the pink, orange and some times red colors for my cheeks and I love them pigmented. I just feel like if I am going to wear color on my face I want everyone to see it. But since I've had my current job at Hollister, they want a more natural look. This blush does the trick. I absolutely love it.


Now I have a dark skin tone and this highlights my cheeks and doesn't appear that pigmented, so I would believe this would be very pigmented for fair to medium skin. I would suggest you should use a neutral eye shadow (copper or bronze) and add a glossy or nude shade. For a night look try a red lip or try it with this lip stick I just bought from MAC.


 The second thing i bought, because i can't leave a MAC store without lip color, was LoveLorn in a Lustre finish. Being that it has a lustre finish, it has a more glossy and wet look to your lips and last a bit longer than a Glaze finish.

Funny thing is, as i was purchasing these two items I got a call from Hollister asking me to come in for work. Luckily i didn't wear much eye shadow, wore little mascara and wore brown eyeliners, But i still had the blush and the lipstick I tried on before buying them.  I was in luck, i wore makeup and it looked natural enough to pass off as   going bare.
