My #SuperStay24 Color Lipstick Review

Okay so you all know I LOVE Influenster and a majority of my blog entries are reviews on products that they send me complementary for my full and honest opinion... And yep! I'm here to rave about yet another amazing product I received from them! 

I was excited to receive 2 beautiful shades of Maybelline's Super Stay 24 Hour Color! I immediately opened my VoxBox and instantly knew these were great colors. Then after I put them on, I instantly fell IN LOVE with both of them. 

The 1st color I tried was #138 Constant Toast and its a beautiful pink/nude and has the perfect hint of shimmer and could go with any makeup look, definitely a plus when wearing your everyday warm, pink and neutral tones. The 2nd color I tried was #025 Keep Up The Flame and its a brilliant deep red with hint of plum, this too has a hint of shimmer and is great when you want a bold, vibrant look! But its definitely also something you could wear everyday because itsba dark redsish plum and not a bright, brighy red. Totally an amazing color for fall!  

Both shades went on smooth, and dried quickly & evenly. One coat does the trick! They weren't clumpy and even after it dried, it was very comfortable on my lips. Also, it did last all through the morning into the evening. Had I not removed it, I am sure it would have definitely lasted 24 hours! But I did wear it for about 14. I didn't have to reapply the lipstick at all. But I did reapply the clear balm that is on the other end of the lipstick color, over it a few times, just to keep that pretty shine. But I've also worn it without the balm and it gives it a beautiful matte finish. So either way, one color has 2 potential looks! Has freat texture. Went on smooth. Lasted all day! Maybelline nailed it with these new lippies and I highly recommend these to makeup lovers and lipstick lovers! 

**I received both products free in exchange for my honest opinion. Every word in this blog are my words and how I truly feel about these products**

Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo and Conditioner Review

Garnier is one of my favorite hair care lines. So when I received an email from CrowdTap stating I would be receiving Garnier's new Whole Blends shampoo and conditioner samples for free to try and review I was super excited. I got 5 samples of each so I had a total of 15 packets, which was great because I was able to share them with my friends and family. I received 5 Coconut Oil and Coconut Oil Shampoo and Conditioner packets, 5 Honey Treasure Shamposted and Conditioner Packets and 5  Coconut Water and Vanilla Milk Shampoo and Conditioner packets.

I loved all 3 but I'll start with the Coconut Water and Vanilla Milk. I was especially excited about this one because coconut and vanilla ate my 2 favorite scents. That's also the 1st thing I noticed when I opened my packets. It's a strong smell, but not strong in a bad way. Most shampoo and conditioners smell good in the bottle or while your using them and don't last. Well, with these 2, the scents lasted into the next day. I could instantly see the difference in my hair and it was visibly softer. This shampoo and conditioner are absolutely amazing and left my hair smelling great and super moisturized. My hair was shiny, bouncy and smooth.

The next one is used was the Coconut Oil and Coconut Butter shampoo and conditioner and again, the smell... absolutely AMAZING!!! My hair is super thick, wavy and long and it's hard finding shampoo and conditioner that will help manage it. My hair is also dry and coarse. So I was excited to try this one because I am already a huge fan of coconut oil and I get great results from using it on my skin. Well, the shampoo layered easily through my hair and the conditioner worked through my ends and roots with ease. Once dry, it left my hair smelling awesome for 2 days, which I got tons if compliments on and my hair was instantly softer, smoother and manageable. My hair was shiny without frizz.

Last but not least, the Honey Treasure Repairing Conditioner is great! The scent was a little different than I had expected but definitely not in a bad way. It's not a very strong scent, but it has a nice clean smell to it with a hint of honey. When I applied it to my already washed and damp hair, it was easy to work from my ends to my roots. I let it set for about 3 minutes and then rinsed. I could run my fingers through my long, wavy hair with ease. Once dried, I could already see the difference after just one use! My hair is visibly healthier and stronger. It could also feel such a major difference!

All 3 products were definitely a hit with me. As well as my friends that I gave samples to. I got A+ reports from each of them. I cannot wait to get my hands on a bottle of each once they hit the shelves! I highly recommend these products to EVERYONE. They are all made for different types of hair, but each one of them worked wonders for me. Garnier nailed it with their new Whole Blends shampoo and conditioners. I have fell in love!

I was super excited to find out that I would be receiving the new Amop Pedi Perfect Wet and Dry Foot File free from CrowdTap a few weeks ago to test and review, I finally got it in the mail yesterday and as soon as I got my package I had to try it out!
I must say, I absolutely love it. It is so easy to use and gavee results beyond my expectations. My feet not only soft to the touch but are also visibly smooth!

It does all the work for you, I truly gained softer feet, effortlessly. It's super convenient, with the charging station, making it great for travel so you can take your file with you anywhere!
The Ampoè Perfect Pedi Wet and Dry Foot File has forever changed my foot care routine! No more expensive trios to the salon for that perfect pedicure. I can now achieve soft feeling and visibly smooth feet right from the comfort of my own home without breaking the bank!

Amuse Bouche Lipstick By Bite Beauty Experience

I recently received a new #VoxBox from Influenster and I was especially excited about this one because I am such a makeup junkie!!! I got 3 new lipsticks from the Amuse Bouche Collection by Bite Beauty to test and review for FREE :) for my true and own, honest opinion... so what did I think of these new lippies? Well let me tell you.

All 3 lipsticks were very smooth, long lasting, high pigmented, matte colors. They also had an amazing scent to them. The first color is Gazpacho, a true blue-red. This is a very rich red & would be great for someone wanting to a beautiful bright look . The second color is Beetroot, a Bold Berry. With a redish-purple dark tone is perfect for this season's lips styles and would definitely make a bold statement. And last but not least, the third color is Pepper, a Dusty Rose. With a hint of pink, its more on the nude side and would be perfect for anyone wanting to achieve a natural, more subtle look.

All 3 were definitely a hit and I just love the names of each one in the collection, staying true to the Amuse Bouche theme. They have TONS of other colors to choose from on Sephora's website and I'm sure you can find exactly what you need! I highly recommend these new lippies! Love them!

My Review on Ore Ida's Tater Tots!

I recently received my #JingleVoxBox from Influenster and it was filled with all kinds of amazing goodies to test and review for free! But today, I'd like to talk about one product in particular... the Ore Ida Tater Tots!

Obviously, Influenster couldn't send these directly through the mail. But in my vox box, there was a coupon to recieve a bag for free. I am a huge fan of Ore Ida, and have been purchasing their products for years, including the tots. But we haven't had them in a while, so myself and the kids were happy to get them.

I must say, they're as good as I remember!  Super crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My boys love dipping theirs in ketchup... but hubby and I always melt a variety of cheese and chilli on top. What a perfect combination!

But the possibilities of recipes with these are endless. They're great for breakfast (add some scrambled eggs and cheese on top, some crumbled of bacon or sausage) and ypu have a delicious hearty meal to start your day. Kraft.com has so many to choose from. You can have them as a side or as a main dish. There are literally thousands of recipes for these amazing little tots all over the Internet.

With all that being said, I now know what we've been missing. Influenster has reconnected me with an old time favorite! I absolutely love them, so do the kids. I look forward to continuing to buy these and coming up with new ways to enjoy them!

Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Volume Mascara Review

My Marc Jacobs Influenester Vox Box Review

I know I haven't posted in a while, but wanted to share my recent experience with my new Vox Box from Influenster.

I was excited to discover a cute little black box in the mail this week. Influenster is always surprisin me with awesome Vox Boxes and this in particular one is probably my favorite thus far. I recieved the Marc Jacobs Beauty Vox Box free to test and review. I have gotten full size products from Influenster in the past, but I was shocked and super excited this go round because that's exactly what I got... a full size Marc Jacobs Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara!

I recently purchased a Marc Jacobs Eyeliner and Lipstick and am thrilled to have this added to my MJ collection! It definitely does what it claims to do. It's increases volume in lashes. The brush gets all those hard to reach lashes most brushes don't. It's smudge proof and lasts all day. & my favorite part?.... you don't have to cake it on. With 3 strokes or less you can achieve amazing long lashes without falsies or extentions. These opinions are 100% all my own and I highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to get amazing long, full, thick lashes! #MarcJacobs #MarcBeauty #Influenster #love

My experience with Pampers Cruisers from Influenster 

Well, yesterday I received a new #VoxBox from #Influenster. I got the #PampersVoxbox. I must say I'm impressed!
I have three sons ages 14, 7 & 1. I have ALWAYS been a #Pampers mommy. They definitely beat all the competitior products out there! All 3 of my boys wore Pampers from birth. First, Pampers Swaddles, then to Pampers Baby Dry and ending up in Pampers Cruisers.

Well, I got these "new and improved" Pampers Cruisers complimentary of Influenster to test and review absolutely FREE. I put my 1 year old baby in one the moment I unboxed my VoxBox. He crawled around, walked against the furniture, played just like he does everyday... when it was time to change him... his bottom was dry. The diaper absorbed wetness evenly just like the description said. I put him in another Pampers Cruisers diaper before bedtime and he slept 9 hours straight and again, I got the same result.

So what are my thoughts on these diapers? THEY'RE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Pampers made me one happy mommy (as usual) and one happy baby. I will never switch my brand. These new and improved Cruisers met my expectations. If you haven't tried them yet, I highly recommend that you do. They'll have you're little one going from #SagToSwag instanly! Thank you @Influenster and @PampersUS... you nailed it, once again! BRAVO!!! :)
