Remember Sunday Review!

I watched this movie a little while back and ended up saving it on my DVR. It's so cute! I don't normally go for cutsie movies that often, but this one had Alexis Bledel in it. I love her! So I taped it. Zachary Levi was in it too. He is super cute! It's about a guy who had a brain aneurysm. She was a waitress, he was a jewelry store clerk. They met when she was waiting on him. Because of his aneurysm he forgets everything that happened when he wakes up in the morning. Apparently sleep made it worse. He'd wake up and forget where he was, what he was doing there, what he did the day before. It's a really good movie. They end up falling in love of course and if you wanna know how it ends, you'll have to watch it and find out!

Songpop Review!

I was addicted to this Facebook game when I first started playing it. It's so fun. I still am a daily player, but I'm not addicted anymore lol. It's like a modern day "Name That Tune." I listen to a wide range of music, so this game is right up my alley! If you love music and haven't checked this game out yet, you should! Since, like all Facebook games, it's free. So it doesn't hurt anything just to try it out!

Bates Motel Review!

I LOVE this show! I am so excited for season 2! So glad they already bought another season. I think it's really cool they're basing it off Norma Bates in Psycho, but still in our modern time. I think it's very well written & they have an amazing cast. The acting is really good & it's so easy to get into. I would say though you may feel a little lost if you haven't watched since the beginning. It's really awesome though. I recommend it! You can always catch up on episodes online!

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Review!

I got the OSiS+ Dust It in my Spring Fever voxbox (that I got complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes). Honestly I can't say I'm a very big fan. Unfortunately this is a product I will not be purchasing. It does give you volume, but I straighten my hair (which is naturally wavy) so my hair already has plenty of body. I don't care to use products that give you volume. Also it's hard to wash out. I love Influenster for giving me the opportunity to try a product that I have never used before though. Always up for trying new things! Unfortunately though, this one was a miss for me. I saw tons of other reviews from people who loved it though. So it's really about if you're looking for a product that gives you volume or not and also if you have thick hair or not.



*It's a multipurpose mattifying powder that adds root lift, texture, and control. Perfect for creating thicker, fuller looking hair.*

Golden Boy Review!

I love(d) this show! I thought it was really good. I know a lot of people didn't like the flash forwards, but I thought they made sense. They wanted us to see where he ended up, and then show us how he got there. I thought they did a terrific job. The casting was awesome too, they had really good actors for this show. I was really disappointed to read that they cancelled it. I hate when they end on a cliffhanger and then decide to cancel it and not give the viewers closure (Against the Wall ring a bell for anyone?!) I really wish they would have kept this one around =(. Theo James and Chi McBride made a really good team. I enjoyed it while it lasted anyway...

Glade Candles Review!

Glade has some wonderful scented candles. I really like a lot of the seasonal ones too, especially the fall/winter collections they come up with. I think they're a good price for the amount you get. I usually get them at Target or Walmart for around $2.54. I do wish they had a better wick though. Maybe it needs to be thicker, I'm not sure. They're usually so skinny and flimsy they break off after you've burned it a couple times. I also wish they would burn more evenly, but other than that I think they're pretty good candles.

Extra Gum Review!

Extra gum is pretty tasty. I especially like their Dessert Delights line. I recently got their lemon square flavor. It's SO yummy! I find it a little weird though that it starts off soft, gets hard minutes later, and then goes back to being soft. I like my gum soft. I would probably buy it again anyway though. I've also had the strawberry shortcake and mint chocolate chip flavors. Those are also very yummy. I also like how inexpensive they are. Not that gum is ever expensive, per say. But it can be higher than reasonable sometime. Extra doesn't seem to be a part of that, so that's awesome!

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes Review!

Today I received my Spring Fever voxbox from Influenster! I was SO excited! Inside it included a Secret outlast deodorant, an NYC Applelicious glossy lip balm, Impress press on nails, an Osis+ dust it hair product, and last but certainly not least a S'mores tastykake kandy bar kake. The cake is SO yummy! Who doesn't love s'mores?! And you can eat it without the mess, lol. You get best of both worlds, since it's a candy bar AND a cake!

Neosporin Eczema Essentials Review!

Last summer I had the worst eczema flare up of my life! It was so miserable. It flared up on my shins (where I have never had a flare up before). I went to Target and purchased Neosporin Daily Moisturizing Cream, the hydrocortizone cream, and the wash. I loved it all. However, I paid $6 for a 1oz tube of the hydrocortizone cream. When I needed more I looked around and saw that you can get Cortizone 10 eczema   lotion for a little over $7, but you get a 3.5oz tube. So due to price, I will not be purchasing the Neosporin hydrocortizone cream. Both have 1% hydrocortizone, so it's basically the same thing.

Amazon Review!

I like Amazon itself, but some of the sellers are a little shady. A lot of the time they jack up the prices really high too. My most recent experience wasn't a very good one, though they did make it right in the end. I ordered a 2 pack of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish in Cobolt Blue. It's so beautiful, and you can't buy it in stores anymore =(. Anyhow, when it arrived there was 1 nail polish. So I emailed the sellers and they said it was a mistake with the warehouse, blah blah. So they ended up sending me 2 more and an eye liner to make it up to me. So that was nice of them. I'm sure most sellers aren't as nice as these people were. I try not to purchase from this site that often though, just cause I'm not too sure about some of the sellers. But I know a lot of people use this site on the regular.

Summer's Eve Review!

They have so many things in their line now! I love their on the go cleansing cloths. They're awesome. You never know when you could use a little extra freshness. Especially in the summer time! Their washes rock too. I've also tried the powder, which is really cool. It's awesome for summer time since it helps to wick away moisture. If you haven't checked these out yet, you really should ladies! Give your V a little pampering lol.

Mistic Review!

I love Mistic's juice drinks. They're so yummy! I think I've tried them all! My absolute favorite is the Bahama Blueberry. Tastes just like a blue raspberry jolly rancher. Which just so happens to be my favorite jolly  rancher ; ). They also have Kiwi Strawberry, Grape Strawberry, Peach Beach, Tropical Punch. I think that's all of them. They also have some vegetable drinks, but I haven't tried those. I found these little beauties at Walmart for $1. You get a 16oz glass bottle. It's a super good deal for a yummy drink! Check them out if you like stuff like that!

Target Review!

I absolutely love Target! Has to be my favorite store. They have pretty much everything you could want or need. I also like their parking lot, as weird as that may sound lol, it isn't crazy like a lot of stores. And even if a lot of people are shopping in the store, you don't feel like you have to dodge people to get where you need to be. Or push your way over to something you need to grab. I really like that about Target. It doesn't feel as congested as a lot of stores. For sure my favorite place to shop!

Revenge Review!

I am completely in love with this show! It's so good! I'm always on the edge of my seat. They always end you with a cliffhanger to keep you coming  back to see what happens next. The season finale was incredible! I can't wait to see what happens next season! If you haven't checked it out yet, I wonder why! Unless these kinds of shows aren't your thing, then I understand. But if this mystery/action/drama kind of stuff is your thing, Revenge is for you!

Colgate Smartfoam Review!

This is my favorite toothpaste! I love it! As far as I know though it only comes in 2 flavors. Effervescent Mint and Spearmint Blast. I alternate between each. I love how much it foams up! Also how easily it foams up. After just brushing for a minute or so its completely foam. Which is super nice if you've ever had those incidents, like most of us do, where when you spit you spit out a glob of toothpaste lol. That doesn't happen anymore! The taste of each is awesome and they each have whitening too. Overall they're just awesome. I don't use anything else. However I am gonna try the Colgate Total toothpaste since I've heard such good things about it. I'll let you know in the near future how I like that one. If you haven't checked out the smartfoam yet, you should give it a go!

Avon Foot Scrub Review!

I absolutely love Avon. It all started when I was little and my mom sold it. Anyway, for Christmas I got a pomegranate chocolate foot care gift set that included foot soak, foot scrub, foot cream, and adorable red and white slipper socks. The entire set is amazing. I bought some papaya sorbet foot scrub and cream from the last catalog. Currently I'm using that scrub in the shower. I love how it feels. I also love how inexpensive it is, especially when you see how expensive other brands foot care lines are. This stuff scrubs very well, leaving you feel smooth and exfoliated. I of course use the matching cream when I get out. I absolutely love it! I work in retail, so having foot care items are very important, seeing as how I am always on my feet. From this catalog I ordered a paraffin foot mask. It will be arriving tomorrow. I will do a review on it once I try it. Sounds just as amazing as their other foot care items!

Sally Hansen Anti-Chip Top Coat Review!

So on the box that the top coat is inside of, it states that this anti-chip top coat lasts for 10 days. I wanted to do a review on it today, because, well, its been 10 days since I painted my toenails and used it. They still look like I just painted them. No chips AT ALL. Which is awesome for me, by now at least one of the nails has gotten the entire paint peeled off. This stuff is amazing! It lasts the 10 days it says it does, maybe even longer. I painted mine Pink Blink last week. Such a pretty color! I love pinks, and this one is a baby pink, so it's adorable! Next I'm gonna try the Co bolt Blue. And I will be using this top coat again, for sure! I recommend it! Check it out if you haven't yet. At my local Walmart store it was around $5. So not real expensive, but it works VERY well! I will repurchase this one over and over again!

Palmolive® soft touch™ Review!

I was so excited today when I looked out the front door to see my Palmolive voxbox from Influenster sitting on the porch waiting for me! I got the pink vitamin e and green aloe dish soaps in my box. Super excited! I was even more excited since I saw TONS of pics on Facebook of people's boxes that were completely destroyed by leaking soaps, but saw that my box was dry! They packaged my box really well. The bubble wrap was securely around both soaps, thankfully! YAY! Anyway, both soaps smell and feel wonderful! They do an awesome job cleaning the dishes, but keep my hands feeling soft. It really is tough on grease, soft on hands. I love the vitamin e one! I shared my aloe one! You can find these beauties at your local Walmart stores! Will for sure be putting the coupons that were included in my box to good use! I really wanna try the coconut one next! Thanks so much Influenster! I LOVE being an Influenster! I am also getting the Spring Fever voxbox. I will add an extra review for that as well when I receive it! YAY!

Trident Gum Review!

The Trident gums like watermelon twist and tropical twist have nice flavors, but I feel like the gum gets hard very fast. Which makes chewing it not very enjoyable. Plus you can't blow bubbles. I would not purchase those kinds again. BUT the trident layers I would absolutely buy again. They have some really yummy flavors and the gum stays nice and soft for you. So it's more enjoyable to chew AND you can blow bubbles if you wish.

Olay Ribbons Body Wash Review!

I tried Olay Ribbons Body Wash a few years ago for the first time. I absolutely fell in love with it! For a few years, it was all I would use. Then eventually I wanted to branch out and try other things. I must have bought a bottle of it and put it someplace where I couldn't see it, because one day when I was grabbing a soap to use, I saw a bottle of Olay Ribbons! I hadn't used one in a really long time. So I recently started using it again. It's so amazing. It's really moisturizing. It feels so nice to wash with. It lathers very nicely too, which I very much enjoy. I love this product and will be buying it again in the future!

Colgate Wisps Review!

I totally love wisps. They're awesome! They're better than gum or mints just because they're mini toothbrushes, so they have actual bristles that clean your teeth. The beads on them taste good too and give you that "just brushed" feeling. Plus they're portable. You can store them in your car or desk, and carry them in your pocket, purse, or backpack. I purchased mine at Walmart. They have 4 packs and 16 packs. The 16 packs are really cool because you can carry as many as you want on you. I like the idea of carrying individual ones instead of a 4 pack because then I can switch up my flavors as often as I like. Some people think they're a rip off due to price, but I don't find their price bad at all in my location. Here a 4 pack is $1.50 and a 16 pack is $5. I carry mine in my bag and mostly use them at work during my break. I find them super handy!

Mary Kay Satin Hands Review!

This stuff is pretty nice. First you put a balm on, then the scrub, then you rub your hands together with them on. It makes you really soft and smooth. After washing it off you put the hand cream on last. It's really nice. But, again, Mary Kay is so darn expensive. I've been using body scrubs to replace it, since like I mentioned before, the things I like I'm trying to find good replacements for since I don't plan on buying Mary Kay again. It is a nice product though, and it does work. My hands always feel so good after using it! If you love Mary Kay and haven't checked it out yet, you should, but only if you don't mind spending that kind of money. I don't plan on buying it again, but will absolutely use it while I still have it.

Pure Silk Review!

I have used a LOT of shaving creams. Pure Silk is okay. I like that it's a foam and they have awesome fragrances. I'm not overly impressed by it or anything. Honestly the only shaving cream that has completely impressed me has been Skintimate's skin therapy line. Those are incredible! Pure Silk to me isn't anything special. I bought a few to try them out in different fragrances, but I don't plan on buying them again. Only because I don't see why I would buy anything but Skintimate. To each their own though, I'm sure many of you love Pure Silk.

Dove Deodorant Review!

When I was younger I tried a lot of different deodorants. Finally I tried Dove and I've stuck with it ever since. I love their Go Fresh line. They smell amazing, they feel really nice, and they do a decent job. I recently tried the Dove Clinical Protection and loved it! Its like a cream instead of a solid deodorant and it feels amazing and obviously works a little better than regular deodorant. More than a little better, actually lol. I would purchase again. Both, I would purchase the clinical protection and I would purchase the regular. Really good product. The clinical protection costs roughly $5 more, but its worth it. The regular deodorants are priced really well too. If you haven't checked these out, you should!

Mary Kay Foundation Review!

So I've liked a lot of Mary Kay products, even though I do find them to be terribly over priced. The stuff that I did like I found replacements for with other companies, such as Burt's Bees, etc. When I first tried their foundation I really liked it. Then I tried Maybelline because I wanted to see if that would be a good replacement for when I run out of the Mary Kay stuff. Well, I used Maybelline for a while, then decided to try Mary Kay again. It was terrible the second time around! I hated it! I tried it two times after I used Maybelline. It clogged up my pores, the coverage wasn't very good, and it felt gross on my face. I would definitely never buy it again. Maybelline has good coverage, doesn't clog my pores, and feels nice on my face. Don't waste your money on Mary Kay. There is a brand out there that is just the same and costs less (depending on what you're looking for). For example, I also have the microdermabrasion set, which is about $65 full priced. Olay has a similar product for $25. I haven't tried it yet, but it has gotten wonderful reviews from others. So anyway, unless you are obsessed with Mary Kay, dig deeper to find better deals with better companies!

Vaseline Total Moisture Review!

I used Vaseline over the winter in hopes of having something that would take care of my dry hands. I also have eczema and often have flare ups on my hands and wrists. Total Moisture is AMAZING! I started with the Cocoa Radiant because I liked the smell of it the most, but have used all 3. I also tried Vaseline's Cocoa Radiant Total Moisture Deep Conditioning Cream, which is just amazing as well! I use it every night before I go to bed. It's really thick and does come off greasy at first, but after a few minutes it absorbs into your skin and makes you SUPER soft. I also use the Soothing Moisture lotion from their intensive rescue line. I've been having eczema flare ups on my shins too and even though I use a lotion with hydrocortizone in it, I also use the Soothing Moisture. It has chamomile in it, which calms itchy skin. I think I have almost every lotion now from all of their lines and I love them all! Would definitely purchase them all again!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Review!

I love Sally Hansen! When I saw these Insta-Dri ones I HAD to try them. The very first one I got was Quick Canary, which was part of her 2012 limited edition summer ones. I really liked it. So I ended up getting a ton of them! I love the brush! I know a lot of people don't seem to like it, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy to use! Its a wide brush, meant to cover your entire toenail or fingernail so that you can paint in less swipes. One coat is perfect! It comes out the same color as it is in the bottle. It also lives up to it's name, Insta-Dri. It really does dry very fast. She also has an Insta-Dri anti chip top coat now! I just got it today, haven't tried it yet, but I will write a review when I do! The most recent colors I got are: Wined Up, a beautiful crimson red. Blue Away, which is one of her newest, it's a sky blue color. Pink Blink, also one of her newest, a baby pink color. And Grey Gone, a dark grey color. They're all beautiful! I got the last 3 today, but I've already tried the Wined Up, its gorgeous! If you like dark colors, and red, that's a good one to get!

Aquafina Hydrating Lip Oil Review!

I was shopping at Walmart one day when I wondered into the cold/flu aisle where they keep the lip products (I often do since I LOVE lip products). I saw that there was a 4 pack of Aquafina lip balm, so I got one. It was a good price and you do get 4 lip balms. Anyhow. I tried it out and loved it. Shortly after I saw that there is also an Aquafina Hydrating lip oil. It seems that this product has been removed from many stores in many states, mine being one of them. I was super interested though so I ended up ordering a raspberry flavored one from amazon. I LOVE it! So after that I ordered some original lip oils from dollargeneral.com since that's the only flavor they offered. I thought it would be like the original lip balm, which is minty. Boy was I wrong! It has a medicine smell/taste to it. Which I find TOTALLY disgusting. It doesn't bother some people, but it really bothers me a lot. I can't stand that! So I think it's something you should know before purchasing it. I ended up sending them back.

It's a cool product. It feels nice on lips. You do have to reapply often, like with most lip glosses/balms. The smell to me is more minty than raspberry, but I still like it. You should check it out if you're interested in something a little different. Seeing as it's an oil and not a gloss.
