NYC Kiss Gloss Review!

I adore the NYC line. I love that you can get good quality make up, for an amazing price. I recently got their kiss gloss in City Sorbet and 5th Ave Frosting. I also ordered four more online (they're hard to find in stock in my area!). I ordered Murray Hill Melon, Clear As Can-Dy, Jay Walkin' Jam, and Sugar Hill Shimmer. I ordered the other four colors/flavors after trying the two I found in stores. I really like them. I'm not much of a gloss girl anymore, but I wanted to try these. The consistency is thick, but it isn't that sticky. The glitter/shimmer is very pretty. The colors are light. 5th Ave Frosting and Clear As Can-Dy are both clear colors. The City Sorbet is a pretty light pink color (doesn't really show up as a color on my lips). Sugar Hill Shimmer is a shade lighter than City Sorbet. Murray Hill Melon is a pretty hot pink color. Jay Walkin' Jam is a darker pink color. I like lighter colors, clear or light pink are perfect for my taste. I am interested in the darker ones I picked though, curious to see what the colors will look like on my lips. They also have B'way Berry, which looks to be the darkest of all of the colors. It's a pretty dark berry color, looks purple. Soho Sweetpea looks like a lighter purple to me. Tribeca Tangerine is an orange. Park Ave Punch is also an orange-y color.

*The only color I found at my local Target was City Sorbet.

*Walmart carries all the colors both in stores and online for $2.74.

Lindt Truffles Review!

Another goody in my Rose VoxBox I got from Influenster for testing purposes, were Lindt Truffles! Milk chocolate. So good! These chocolates really are amazing. The hallow chocolate outside is always smooth, and then the milk chocolate inside of it just pours out into your mouth. So delicious. I also got a coupon for $1 off Lindt Truffles. I might have to try a different flavor. The caramel milk chocolate, vanilla white chocolate, and hazelnut chocolate sound delicious! Can't wait to try some I never have before.

*You can get a 5.1 oz bag for under $4 at Target and Walmart!

belVita Breakfast Biscuits Review!

I recently was fortunate enough to qualify for the Rose VoxBox (sent to me complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster). One of the goodies in my box were the belVita breakfast biscuits in the blueberry flavor. I had never tried these before. They are so yummy! I love them! They remind me of the Newton Fruit Thins. They have real pieces of fruit in them and they're nice and thin. Crunchy too. They taste amazing and they're supposed to give you energy. I didn't really notice a difference in my energy levels, but they probably work for some people. Plus, I didn't eat them in the morning, I ate them as soon as I opened the box lol. That was roughly 1pm. Oh well! Less than $4 for a box, so they're a really good deal too! I would buy these.

Ravenswood Review!

I wasn't sure if I wanted to watch this show or not. But since the same people who made Pretty Little Liars also made Ravenswood, I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't normally like ABC Family shows because the acting is SO poor. However, the acting on PLL is pretty awesome. They all do a terrific job. Since they did such a good job on PLL, Ravenswood should be just as good, right? Indeed! It's really good. The two shows are actually linked. They ended the PLL Halloween special with the girls leaving Caleb in Ravenswood to help a girl he had just met. They became friends quickly and Hannah didn't want her left there all alone to fend for herself. So they start Ravenswood right where PLL left off. There are very strange things happening in Ravenswood and Caleb wants to get to the bottom of it. There seems to be ghosts, among other things, complicating their stay there. I can't wait to see where the season will take us. I'm also curious to see if this show will be nearly as successful as PLL is.

*You can check it out on ABC Family Tuesdays at 8/7c.

Arrow Review!

Oh. My. Wow! I really like this show! It's so exciting and action packed. If you haven't seen it yet, you're missing out! It's in its second season now. I've been watching since the very first episode. It's about a guy (a total hunk!) who was trapped on an island for 5 years. They start the show out at the end of the 5 years when he gets off the island. He goes back home to his family, who thought he was dead (it had, after all, been 5 years).
He ended up on the island because someone rigged the boat they were on and it went down. The majority of the people on it died, except for him (Oliver), his dad, and another guy. His dad ended up shooting the other guy and himself so Oliver had a bigger chance of making it. 
Anyhow, now that he's back home he's dead set on saving his city. It doesn't hurt that he's a gorgeous billionaire! lol. Season one he was "The Hood". A vigilante crossing lines the police wouldn't, even though the people were horrible. Now in season 2, after the passing of his best friend, he doesn't want to kill people anymore, he wants to take a different approach. NOW he's "Arrow". His vigilante costume is just a hood and he uses a bow and arrow as his weapon.

*If you're interested it's on the CW Wednesday's at 8/7c.

Yes To Carrots Lip Tint: Coral Sunshine Review!

I think this is a product that Yes To has decided to get rid of. I've never seen it on their website or in stores before. I ordered the two colors offered on Walgreens.com (Coral Sunshine and Ready Red). There are more selections on Amazon.com, however the prices seem a bit ridiculous. I really like this color. It's very light and just gives a slight pop to my lips. It's also flavored mint, which I really like! I was afraid it would taste like lipstick, which I HATE! The packaging is cute. It's a tiny little tube, but you get 0.09 oz. The colors are Cotton Candy, Coral Sunshine, Ready Red, Natural Smile, Sunset Pink, and Chocolate Kiss. I haven't seen the Chocolate Kiss on Amazon. They do have the others though and I'm tempted to get them! If I can find a good deal, I will order them for sure.

New! Yes To Smoothing Lip Balm Review!

These babies are brand spankin new! (Anyone ever wonder why that's a phrase?) So new in fact that they weren't on the floor yet. I asked for help though and they used their Ipod to locate them. They were in the back still, so they went in back and got them for me = ). I wanted one of each. They have grapefruit, blueberry, and pomegranate with SPF. They already have a pomegranate flavor with SPF in their lip butters, but I guess they wanted to do that flavor again. I like the packaging a lot! It's really pretty, and it's an oval shape. They fit nicely in your bag or even your pocket. And if you drop it on the floor it won't roll away from you! The oval shape also fits your lips really well, so very easy application. The flavors are wonderful and the balm itself is fantastic! So smooth and light. Yet long lasting and very moisturizing. You should check them out for sure! You can order them on yestocarrots.com. Target is the only store at the moment that carries these. If they don't have them on the floor yet in your local Target, do what I did and ask for help. If they're in the back they'll more than likely grab it for you!

*2.99 for an organic lip balm is an awesome deal!
*The pomegranate is the only one with SPF.

Goldfish Grahams: Vanilla Cupcake Review!

These grahams are so good! The French Toast flavor is still my favorite, but these are right behind them. They have a simple, but amazing vanilla taste. They have little sprinkles on them too, to complete the cupcake idea. I didn't see these at Walmart last time I was there. I found them at Target. Same price though ($1.99), so that was awesome! If you're a vanilla lover, you HAVE to try these!

Hostages Review! Update...

So I did a review on this show after the first episode. Now that a few have aired, I have a better opinion. I really dislike this show. However, it's like a train wreck, and I can't possibly stop looking now. Which sucks lol, but now I have to know what's gonna happen. The reason I dislike it is, it's really predictable at this stage, which makes it incredibly boring. If you watched the last episode, you know that the doctor's children were put on a bus to Canada to get away. Did anyone NOT expect the end of the episode when the doctor came back into her house to find her kids in the kitchen? I mean come on. I saw it coming a mile away. It's super dull now. It's supposed to be so exciting and unpredictable. Fail on their part. I'm sorry to those who enjoy this show, happy watching to you! I will continue to watch just to see what happens now. But it definitely is not on the top of my priorities.

Goldfish Puffs: Buffalo Wings Review!

I didn't know that Target carries a lot of varieties of Goldfish. I thought they only carried the different flavors of the crackers in the smaller bags. They have the puffs, grahams, and crackers! Not only that, but in a few flavors they even have the big 30 oz cartons. Which is awesome! Since Target is closer to me than Walmart is. Walmart does still have the most variety. Anyway! These are pretty tasty! The only flavor I'm unsure of is the Cheddar Bacon flavor. I don't usually like things that are flavored like bacon. Don't get me wrong, I love bacon! But I guess I like the real thing, not something flavored like it. I haven't tried those and don't plan to. The Buffalo Wings flavor is good though. I think the Salsa Con Queso is my favorite of the puffs though.

*You can get the puffs at Walmart or Target for less than $3. 

Trident Layers: Grape Lemonade Review!

This flavor is pretty good. I saw it at Walgreens while I was walking around one day. It was new and I had never tried it before, which is mostly why I got it lol. I thought it would be really strong in grape flavor, but it actually has a good balance of the grape and the lemonade flavors. Not my favorite flavor, but it's good. I got mine on sale for $0.69. I think full priced they're around $1 or so.

Goldfish Grahams: S'mores Review!

I had never even heard that Goldfish now makes grahams! I was at Walmart looking at the different things they had for the big 30 oz cartons (these are 35 oz). I saw S'mores grahams. I had to have them! They are sooooo good! There are regular graham goldfish, chocolate goldfish, and little marshmallow goldfish! The marshmallow's are even shaped like fish, so cute. They're super yummy too! I will for sure be getting another carton or two of those! I also grabbed a small bag of the French Toast flavored grahams since that's the only size they had. Those are terrific! If they make those in cartons, I would for sure get some! They're that delicious! When I first saw them I actually passed them up, went to another aisle to get other things I needed and decided to go back and grab those. Glad I did too! I snagged the last bag. If you haven't checked out the Goldfish grahams yet then you have to! If you like grahams anyway... If you don't then I don't suggest those lol.

*I got my carton of S'mores at Walmart for less than $8. I got the small bag of French Toast grahams for $1.99!

American Horror Story: Coven Review!

We're only two episodes in and I'm completely hooked! I wasn't sure what to expect from the previews. I thought maybe they were setting it back in the old days when witches were first around. They're doing it modern day though! Which I think makes it so much more interesting! According to the show, most witches no longer exist. It follows the lives of four young girls who stay in a school for witches. It's run by a witch who is the daughter of a supreme witch. A supreme is a witch who basically has ALL powers. Most witches only possess one or two powers. The supreme lives in the house where the school is located also. The newest student is Zoe. She arrived after her boyfriends death. She was losing her virginity to him when he started shaking and blood came oozing out of his eyes and nose. Her power is black widow. She can't sleep with any boys or they'll die. She's our main character. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in even watching just a few minutes of, you should! It's fascinating!

*On FX Wed at 10/9c.

Goldfish Puffs Review!

I really wasn't sure what to think of the puffs, but I decided I wanted to try them. I got the Salsa Con Queso and Mega Cheese. The Salsa Con Queso is SO good! I like it A LOT more than I thought I would. I haven't tried the Mega Cheese just yet. I had a feeling I should have bought the last bag of Buffalo Wings puffs too! For some reason I talked myself out of it lol. Next time I'm at Walmart (if they have any left) I'm for sure snagging one! If you haven't tried the puffs yet, they're pretty nice! They're bigger than the original crackers and the crunch sort of reminds me of cheese puffs. I really like them! For sure getting more in the near future!

*I got mine at Walmart for $2.99! You get a 7 oz bag.

Goldfish Crackers Review!

I'm completely obsessed with Goldfish crackers lately! I always get the big cartons of the regular cheddar flavor. I went to Walmart today to pick up 3 cartons (Walmart is a good 30 minutes away, so I like to stock up when I go ;) lol). They were all sold out of the regular! I was so sad! So I got the Whole Grain cheddar. I think they're pretty gross lol. I'm gonna try to get used to them, if not I may have to give them away to someone who likes them. I don't care for the flavor of them. I also got the colored ones. They're okay... It says on the front that it's the same cheddar taste, but it's so not lol. Lastly I got the S'mores grahams ones. I love those! Delicious! I also picked up a small bag of the French Toast grahams. SO TASTY! Next time I go to Walmart I seriously hope they have the regular cheddar in the big cartons. I'll be so sad if they don't have them again!

*I get them at Walmart for $8.

Mossimo Pullover Hoodie: Coral Review!

I ordered this hoodie on Target.com last week. It came today and I LOVE it! I got it in coral. Its beautiful! It's coral with light coral stripes. It's 92% polyester, which gives it a light, sweater feel, that I like a lot. I get hot easily, so I needed a lighter hoodie. I really didn't know what to expect though until it came! These hoodies are available in stores, but only select sizes are available (at least at my store when I checked online). I'm actually going to Target tomorrow and I'm gonna try the grey and white hoodie on there. I think I want it in size small. I got size medium for the coral one. It fits a little big, which I usually like in a hoodie, since it doesn't need to cling to my body! It just needs to be comfortable and keep me warm, them being cute is just a bonus = ). They also come in green and blue. I also want those, but the blue is another that doesn't sell size small in stores. The green does though. I'll probably do a review on the grey one tomorrow, especially if I like the way a small fits.

*19.99 at Target or Target.com!

**Update! Apparently you can't buy these in stores (at least according to Target stores in my area). Not sure why it says online they're available in stores. Check your local store before trying to pick one of these up!

Britney Spears Circus Fantasy Review!

First and most importantly... I LOVE BRITNEY SPEARS! lol. I absolutely love this perfume. I'm not too big of a fan of the Fantasy one. But I've tried and loved Circus Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy (that one was discontinued = (, but it smells AMAZING!). Circus Fantasy has notes of fruit, floral's, and creamy musk. The top notes have raspberry zest and apricot blossom. The mid notes have peony, lotus, and orchid. The base notes have vanilla, musk, and violet candy. If you like fruity scents, you'll love this one. I adore fruity scents! The floral's and musk make it more sophisticated and grown up, versus some fruity scents that smell like something a little girl would like to wear. I found mine online. Depending on the site you can score this perfume for anywhere between $13-$30. Shop smart and get a deal! It's worth checking out! 

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Bronze Shimmer Review!

I was a little worried about this color when I saw it. It's a darker brown than I'm used to. I tried it out today and didn't like it at all! It just doesn't look good with my skin tone. I might try a different day when I have more time to play with it. It might look better if I can get it lighter. I took it off and put Pink Topaz on instead. Bronze Shimmer is definitely my least favorite.

Up & Up Anti Itch Lotion Review!

I've only seen this lotion in Target recently. It's basically the store brand version of Cortizone-10 Eczema Lotion. I haven't noticed a difference between the two. It's only about 50-75 cents cheaper, but I mean, save where ya can! lol. I'll probably just stick to this lotion from now on. It's around $7 at Target. It helps my eczema as much as Cortizone does. Feels nice, moisturizes, and takes out any itch I may have.

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Gold Champagne Review!

I wore this color to work last night. It's a very pretty color! I don't think it's one of my favorites, seeing as how it's on the lighter side. Usually colors darker than my skin tone look better. This color looked nice though, and it made my eye area look brighter. Of course, I used my Wet N Wild eye shadow primer, so it still looked fresh and beautiful hours later.

Yes To Tomatoes Acne Kit Review!

I've been using this 3 piece kit for a while now. I'd say around a month. You start with the scrub. Which I love! I don't care for the smell, but it's like a creamy wash with tiny beads in it. It makes my face not only feel really clean and smooth, but it makes it feel like not a drop of oil is on my face. You follow that with the repairing lotion. Again, not a huge fan of the smell, but I don't really care as long as I get results. You put a thin layer of lotion on your face. It says on the directions it can be used alone or under another moisturizer. Since my skin is on the dryer side, I put some Dove lotion on top of that. The third step is the roller ball, which is used directly on any acne you may have on your face. I don't really use this kit for acne purposes, I use it for my black heads. I can say I really see a difference! There aren't nearly as many black heads on my nose now. I hope Yes To doesn't discontinue this kit! I love it! I could see myself using it for a very long time.

*I get mine at Target for $19.99.

Colgate Maxfresh Toothbrush Review!

I was at Target, wandering around in the clearance over by the toothpaste/brush aisle. They usually have soap, toothbrushes, deodorant, etc that's on clearance there. I saw this Colgate Maxfresh toothbrush. It was around $1. So I grabbed it. I got a pretty dark blue color ;). That was the only color I saw. I've never seen these toothbrushes again, so I guess they were on clearance since they were being phased out. Anyway. I really like this toothbrush a lot. It has a nice groove where you hold the brush, making it really comfortable to grab. It also has two parts of the brush that aren't bristles. They make kind of a cross shape. It gets my teeth really clean. It also has a tongue cleaner on the back, which I really like. If I ever saw this brush again, I would snatch it up!

Oral B Satin Floss Review!

This is the best floss! I was using just regular floss before. You have to have a long string of it since it gets caught in your teeth and messes up the floss. Not to mention it's hard to hold onto after your spit gets on it. So annoying! Then I found this satin floss. It's a lot stronger than regular floss. You only need a short string of it. It's easy to hold onto even when it's wet. It's thicker than regular floss too. It really gets my mouth clean. I would never use a different floss now.

*I get the 2 pack at Target for around $5.

Fantastic Sams Review!

I love Fantastic Sams. For a while I was going to my cousin (she's a partial owner of a hair salon). The salon was a good 30 mins from where I was living at the time though, so it became a pain. I decided to try Fantastic Sams since I don't have a ton of money and I'd always heard they had good prices. I know a lot of people won't go there because they're "cheap" and I guess they figure you get what you pay for. But I can certainly say that isn't true. I always get a dry trim, get my layers trimmed, and get my side bangs trimmed. I pay $14.95 (not including tip) and my hair always looks beautiful. Not to mention the staff is always really nice. The woman I had today was hilarious. So don't judge a book by its cover ya'll! It really is a good place for a hair cut.

Shea Moisture African Black Bar Soap Review!

I know I said I would wait a while before writing a review, but I love this stuff! After one use my skin looks and feels better than it did before. There is still some acne on my back, but it's cleared some off already. I'm gonna use up the rest of my Neutrogena acne body wash, even though it doesn't work at all, just because I don't believe in wasting things. I'm switching forever to Shea Moisture's African Black soap though! The bar soap I found at Walgreens for $4.99. I really like it, even though I'm not a big fan of bar soaps. If you try this bar soap, be sure to use a loofah! Since this soap is made with ash, it'll turn your wash cloth grey and stain it. That's what I read happened to other people anyway lol. I, fortunately, used my loofah. It will turn it grey, but it washes right off the mesh with no problem. I don't think I'll get the bar soap again though, because after looking online I see Target carries it in a liquid body wash too! 13 oz bottle for $10.29. Sounds a little high, but it is organic. I always find organic products are worth the extra money. Pretty sure this will be my new acne wash! Goodbye Neutrogena!

Dr. Scholl's Active Series Insoles Review!

I received the Dr. Scholl's Active Series Voxbox from Influenster! My 4th box, yay! It came today and I've already tried them out. It say's on the box that it's for shoe sizes 5 1/2-8. You're supposed to put them under your shoes, line up the heals perfectly, then cut the tips of the toes off so they'll properly fit in your shoes. They're really comfy! I did some jumping jax with them in. They support your feet really well and feel really comfortable. Influenster didn't send any coupons with them = /, oh well. According to Walmart.com they're $19.35. I'm also gonna try them in my shoes when I have to work. Since I work in retail, I'm always on my feet and they're always killing me by the time I get home. Excited to see how they help!

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Smokey Topaz Review!

I love this color! It's gorgeous! It's a nice pretty brown. I like to wear the sparkle eye dusts light, I don't like dark colors on my eyes. It's beautiful light! You could go darker for a night look. If you're into brown colored eye shadows, I would recommend this one for sure! And less than $3? How can you go wrong? At least worth a try. Like I've mentioned before though, I wouldn't wear this eye dust by itself, it definitely needs to be paired with a primer.

Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash Review!

I've tried all three of these, the pink grapefruit, the regular body wash, and the body scrub. I have to say I'm pretty disappointed with all three. I unfortunately have some acne on my back, the pink grapefruit cleared some of it, but I stopped using it since it only says it treats acne, doesn't prevent it. The other two washes do say they help prevent. Well, I really don't know about that. I've been using this product for at least two years, if not more, and I still have some acne on my back. I've been on the hunt for something that actually works. If anyone has any suggestions, please comment! I recently bought an organic African Shea bar soap that Shea Moisture makes. It says that it helps with acne prone and "troubled skin". It says it also treats eczema, psoriasis, etc. I'm pretty excited! It smells good too. I want to use it for a while before doing a review so it'll be accurate.  If this one works, I'm never using Neutrogena washes again!

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Aquamarine Sparkle Review!

I like this color more than I thought I would. I was afraid that the green would be too much for my light skin tone. I put it on lightly though and I think it looked pretty good. It's gonna take some getting used to since I'm used to brown eye shadows. When paired with a primer these eye shadows last all day. I wouldn't recommend using them without one. They can be a little messy, so I pull the applicator out of the tube over toilet paper so if any spills out, I can easily clean it up. Then I put a little on my lid and smooth it out with my finger.

*These can be purchased at Target and Walmart for less than $3!

NYC Sparkle Eye Dust: Pink Topaz Review!

Hands down my favorite color I've used so far! It is SO beautiful! I love that the pink isn't a bright pink. Since it's topaz, it's brown based. Absolutely gorgeous! I wore it all day Sunday, paired with my Wet n Wild primer it didn't budge. 11 hours later it looked like I had just put it on. I recommend this color to anyone who likes brown eye shadows. You won't be disappointed!

*You can get these IN STORE at Target and Walmart for less than $3 and on Walgreens.com for $2.99.
