Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Great White Review!

Great White is one I had been looking for, for a while! I guess it's a big hit lol. I've never owned a white polish before, so I wanted to try it out. I wasn't sure if it would even look good on me, honestly. Since I have a lighter skin tone. Light color with light skin. It really doesn't look bad though! It even looks kind of cool. Obviously, it isn't super eye catching, I mean it's white after all lol. I painted my toes. Started with a base coat, I needed 4 coats of the color, and then my Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip top coat. I like that it isn't only really shiny! But it also has very subtle shimmer in it. It's very pretty! I bet it looks amazing on darker skin tones!

*I found mine at Walmart for $4.59!

Freeman: Avocado & Oatmeal Clay Mask Review!

I got this mask quite some time ago and finally tried it out. I really like it! The scent is amazing! The clay hardens pretty fast. Freeman has tons of masks, this particular one is used for purging your pores. I'm always down for something that will help my pores out! I let it harden and kept it on my face for a good 10 mins. On the directions they usually tell you how long to leave the masks on, this one just said to let it harden. So I figured 10 mins was a good amount of time. It's a nice thick mask too. I've had some that are really thin and the colors are really nude looking, so it's hard to make sure your face is fully covered. This one is a nice green color, so it's easy to see where it is. After the 10 mins I soaked a wash cloth in warm water and then wiped it off that way. My skin was very soft and smooth. My pores are usually pretty clear now that I use my Yes To Tomatoes kit. They looked the same, but my face felt really good. I would recommend these to those who enjoy face masks. Apparently this mask comes in a full size, I would definitely get it!

*I got it at Walmart on an end cap with the make up/cleansers. They have a bunch of masks on display in little bag type packaging. $1.97!

Chicago PD Review! Part 2

As promised, here is my follow up review on the new show Chicago PD. I still find it very exciting and pretty cool. It isn't SUPER different from other cop shows, but it does have its own identity. However, one thing I find a little... strange... is that they keep secrets from the viewers. I'll elaborate. For example: In the last episode (which was the 3rd episode) they talk about a boy named Justin. Well we have no idea who Justin is until the end of the episode when they tell us hes the sergeants son. I don't get why that wasn't something they could have said when they mentioned him. I don't like feeling like I have no idea what's going on! It's just stupid. They also have one of the cops go home to see his parents and his mom sends him on his way with birthday cake and his dad gets upset and leaves the room. Crazy? Um yes, since we have no idea what's going on! So the cop takes his cake and eats it leaning on his car in front of someones house. A man and his son come out yelling at him after they call the cops, but the cop isn't going to arrest another cop, so he just goes to leave. The cop (Halstead? I think his name is) yells at the father and tells him he has a sick son and blah blah. I guess that boy killed his sister? I have no idea. All they had said at the parents house was something about "It was 7 years ago today". So I ASSUME his sister was killed by that weird dude. But again, since they wanna keep it secret from us, I HAVE NO IDEA! Honestly it's really frustrating. That's why in the first review, I had nothing to say! Because they gave us NOTHING. They finally showed Sophia Bush's character (Erin Lindsay's) background. They showed her rap sheet that showed she had shoplifted, etc. Why was that a secret? I just don't understand their reasoning for taping a show this way. I mean hello! Who wants to feel confused and in the dark about a show they're trying to get into? I don't really know that I would recommend this show. I will more than likely end up doing a part 3 after a few more episodes, but I don't think I really care for it much.

*If you're still interested in checking it out, you can catch new episodes on NBC Wednesdays at 10/9c.

TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Spray Review!

When I bought the Platinum Strength, I also bought this one. I like having something different to use before I blow dry and before I use my flat iron. I really like this spray. Although I don't care for the smell. Platinum Strength smells much better! It does keep my hair smooth though and protects it from the heat of my blow dryer. This is from Target.com: TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Keratin Infusing Heat Protection & Shine Spray helps shield hair from the damaging effects of heat styling, leaving hair salon-shiny. Infused with Keratin, this spray reduces frizz and acts as a barrier from heat styling tools. Gentle enough to use on color-treated hair.



I really like TRESemme, they give you quality products for a very reasonable price. I think I paid around $4 for this spray!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Slouchy Raglan Tee Review! Part 2

As I stated in my first review, I like these tops so much I wanted to get 2 more. So I did! Saturday I went shopping. I also said in my first review that I wanted the wheat colored one (they still didn't have it in my size =( ) and a wheat colored one with leopard print on it. They did have the leopard print one in my size this time, but when I held it up I noticed how short it was! The ones that are solid colors go passed your butt (which is perfect for jeggings/leggings), but the ones with prints only cleared your belly. I didn't like the length, so I got a papaya color and grey color instead. I would actually love to get more of these! I don't know if you can have enough lol. Since they aren't a real thick or heavy material, they would work fine for spring/fall/winter. Definitely not in the summer since they are long sleeves. The 2/$40 deal included the slouchy raglan, some yoga leggings, and these baseball looking long sleeve tops. I think I'd like to get another slouchy raglan and this hot/neon pink baseball looking top. They're super cute!

TRESemme Platinum Strength Strengthening Heat Protection Spray Review!

I was a long time user of the TRESemme Heat Tamer spray. While looking for it one day I saw this Platinum Strength one. I figured I would give it a try since it says it: Protects hair from the damaging effects of heat styling including breakage, frizz, and dryness... The result is beautifully smooth, moisturized, healthy-looking hair. I feel like it does just that! My hair always looks beautiful. It really does protect it from my blow dryer and flat iron. I found mine at Target for about $4! Can't beat that price and TRESemme has quality hair products!

Victoria's Secret Pink: Slouchy Raglan Tee Review!

I'm a January birthday. I really don't go to Victoria's Secret anymore since they aren't in my price range. They sent me a birthday coupon for $10 off my purchase. I wanted to use it before it expired, so I stopped by on Thursday. Before going in I was pretty set on getting a new top. As I was looking around, I didn't really find anything that caught my attention, until I saw this section of long sleeve shirts hanging up in the back of the store. I was checking them out and they had TONS of color/print options. I picked a teal zebra print one to try on, so I could be sure which size I needed. The small fit me well, but the color and print just didn't look right on me. So I kept looking. I saw this hot/neon pink color that I grabbed. After looking some more, I decided that was the one! I also wanted this wheat color and this other top that was also a wheat color, but had leopard print on it. Neither were in my size =(. But the neon pink is gorgeous! I like the style too, it's unlike anything I own. It makes me think of the 80's lol. You can wear it "normal", or have one shoulder out. It's such a cute style! I like the top so much I'm actually going back today to see if they got the other 2 I wanted in my size. They're 2/$40, which is expensive for me, but I absolutely love these tops! Also, since they're long sleeves I'm not sure how long they'll be around. Most retail stores are a season ahead. If you like those kinds of tops, you have to check them out!

Temptations Cat Treats Review!

I've gotten the cats in my life all kinds of treats, but the Temptations ones seem to be the biggest hit. I don't even bother with other kinds anymore. Temptations has a wide variety of flavors too. Just recently we went through the beef flavored ones. We have 3 inside cats and 1 outside cat. There are a bunch of strays we feed too, but they're too afraid to get close to us. All the cats seemed to really like the beef flavor, except my 7 month old female kitten. She really didn't seem to care for them much. I got them the dairy flavor for Christmas (yes I get the animals Christmas gifts lol). All the cats like this flavor, including my little girl. I would recommend these treats for anyone with cats. Walmart and Target carry them, I pay around $3 for a decent sized bag that lasts a few months.

Formula X For Sephora: Celestial Review!

I got a Sephora giftcard for Christmas and for my birthday I used it =). After looking around the store for a little bit, I decided I wanted to try the Formula X For Sephora nail polish. They have tons to choose from! I went with Celestial, which is a beautiful blue color with silver sparkles. I also got Hyped, which is a hot purple color with some sparkles in it. I'll do a separate review on that one when I try it. I absolutely love Celestial! It's gorgeous! It does have a textured feel to it because of the glitter, but it doesn't feel like it could snag anything. Sephora has a smaller brush than Sally Hansen, which I'm used to, but I actually liked it. It was very easy to get the polish on almost perfect and there were no streaks. I did two coats. These kinds of polishes are out of my price range, but if I ever have extra money, I would consider trying more of these. I also saw a Marc Jacobs polish I really liked! It was a chrome coppery kind of color, but it was $18 for ONE polish.
I haven't had any chipping yet. Seems like a good quality polish! If Sephora is in your price range, you should check out their Formula X polishes if you haven't yet!

*I got Celestial for $12.50 and Hyped for $10.50.

Yes To Carrots Fragrance Free Towelettes Review!

For those of you who don't know, I absolutely LOVE Yes To's towelettes. I have packs of each fragrance they offer (blueberries, grapefruit, cucumbers, tomatoes, and even the carrots one that's for babies). They just came out with a fragrance free line which includes cleansers, night cream, day cream, and towelettes. I like the packaging a lot, it's white with orange carrots. The rest of them are the matching color to their scent (blueberries is blue, cucumbers is green, etc.). It has a natural fragrance to it, just no perfume added. It's a nice light scent. It left my face feeling clean, refreshed, and moisturized. It has organic carrots, aloe vera, carrot root extract, pumpkin seed extract, jasmine flower, vanilla planifolia fruit extract, peach fruit extract, rosemary leaf extract, coriander fruit/leaf extract, bergamot fruit extract, lavender flower/leaf/stem extract, rosewood wood extract. I found the ingredients to be really unique. It's also a 96% natural product.

*I found them at Target for $5.99

Yes To Tomatoes Acne Kit Review! Part 2

I've been using this kit for a while now. The kit includes a deep pore scrub, repairing acne lotion, and an acne spot stick. I didn't buy this for acne purposes, but for black head purposes! I had black heads splattered all over my nose and the part of my cheeks that are right next to my nose. I tried all kinds of stuff! Clean & Clear, Biore pore strips, stuff from Avon that was specifically for black heads. Nothing gave me the results I wanted. I would have perfectly clear skin for maybe a week and then have a bunch of black heads again. I was still hopeful, but losing a little faith when I stumbled upon the Yes To Tomatoes acne kit. My skin has been beautifully clear and not a black head in sight! And when I do get the occasional pimple, the scrub, lotion, and spot stick take care of it right away! Sometimes  I just use the spot stick to clear it up. Usually by the next day or the day after it's deflated and just about gone! I'm so happy I found this! Yes To is an organic line too! Which I love!

*The repairing lotion makes my skin very dry, so I put a moisturizer on top of it.

*I found the kit at Target for $19.99!

Purina One Cat & Dog Food Review!

For a while my mom was buying her pets cheap food. While that's good for your budget, it's not so good for the animals! Lots of byproducts are in the cheaper food. So while we were shopping together one day, she needed cat food. I was helping her look and showed her that Purina One's first ingredient is always real meat. So she switched over. That's all I feed my 2 kittens. They love it and they're growing up big and strong. My 7 month old boy weighs 8lbs already! He's gonna be a monster lol. His little sister only weighs 3lbs. Their mother is a smaller cat though, so she may be small like her mommy. Their coats are really shiny too. I think Purina One is perfect because not only is it good for the animals (the dog also eats Purina One dog food), but it doesn't break the bank. We usually just get the 16lb bags for the cats (we feed strays also, since no one else does). The dog food lasts forever! There's only 1 dog though =). We only get a 7lb bag for the doggy. I would recommend this brand of pet food for sure!

Bath & Body Works: Peppermint Patty Hand Soap Review!

I actually got this soap a long time ago lol. It was a few years ago and at that time, this particular scent was only available online. Back when you could return online orders in stores, someone did. So I snatched it up! I love peppermint scented things. This has that little kick of chocolate too. It smells so good! The marketing is cute too. It's a glittery green with a penguin and peppermints on it. I have it in the foaming hand soap. The moisturizing was my absolute favorite! So sad the company decided to do away with that form =(. The foaming is okay, not a HUGE fan of the deep cleansing, but I'll use it. I really loved using the moisturizing form in the winter the most since I have eczema flare ups pretty often. The deep cleansing is way too harsh in the winter for my poor hands. Anyway, did any of ya'll shop during the Semi-Annual Sale? They had some good deals on soap.

Xhilaration Comforter Review!

I asked for a comforter for Christmas since mine was falling apart! I had it for about 8 years and it just started ripping. I'd sew the rip and then it'd tear UNDER where I sewed it lol. Such a pain! I was SUPER excited to get one! I'm pretty sure Target is the only store that sells Xhilaration anything (correct me if I'm wrong please =)). The one my dad got me is white with multi-colored polka dots. They're larger dots and so pretty! It's reversible too, the other side has different colored stripes. I also love that it isn't a heavy comforter. I tend to run hot, so heavy comforters are too much for me. It's heavier and thicker than my sheets, but honestly not by too much. One of my favorite parts! It also came with two shams, which was awesome because my old ones didn't really match lol. All of the sheets and comforters I've had as an adult have all been from Target (and I think they've all been Xhilaration too). I like them a lot and would recommend them. Good quality for a good price!

Orange Silicone Phone Case Review!

I ordered quite a few silicone cases from amazon.com. I got cotton candy pink, hot pink, orange, yellow, and green colors. I currently have the orange on (though I've tried them all =)). Since my phone is black, it is reminding me a little of Halloween lol. It's still pretty though and it looks really nice. It's also a beautiful fit! I do think the pinks are my favorite lol, but I love the green, orange, and yellow a lot too. Silicone cases are great because not only do they protect your phone, but they're also super easy to get on/off! As I've said before, I HATE rubber cases! They are such a pain! Since they're two pieces that fit around your phone. The two pieces snap together and then the back of your phone is covered and the front is slightly covered (since clearly they can't go over the screen!). I would recommend silicone cases to any and everyone. We all have phones, and silicone or gel cases are awesome. You can pick colors that suit you and your phone gets protection too!

*I paid $1.25 for each silicone case on amazon.com + shipping! (I do believe shipping was around $2).

Orabrush Tongue Cleaner Review!

I was shopping at Target one day and I was grabbing some toothpaste. While there I turned around and saw this weird looking brush thing. It had a long handle and spiky looking bristles on it. Upon closer inspection I saw it was a tongue cleaner! Well my mom uses a spoon to clean her tongue lol, so I thought I would much rather try an actual tongue cleaner! They had a few different colors. I believe there was orange, green, and blue. I picked the blue one. I really like it. The spikes are strong yet gentle. It scrapes all the junk right off your tongue! Don't push too hard though, it says on the back that it could damage your taste buds if you do. My tongue is the pinkest it's ever been lol! I would seriously recommend it. It's just as important to keep your tongue clean as it is to keep your teeth and gums clean!

Organic Non Dairy Cheese Review!

As I mentioned in my last post, I can't have dairy for a while. It's been a very interesting journey so far, looking for things that I can have in my diet lol. I tried the cheese yesterday. Oh my goodness! Most disgusting thing I think I have ever tried in my life! Well maybe I won't go that far lol, but it's super gross! I was really disappointed too. The after taste was the worst part! And it threw me off because it smelled like normal cheese! Sure didn't taste like it though, wow! If you still think this is something you'd like to try, I found it in the health food section of Hy Vee. Any place that has organic foods should have it though. You won't be able to find it in a Walmart or Target though, Hy Vee is the only store I know of in the midwest that has a health food section.

*If I remember correctly it was around $3 for the slices. They look like those Kraft single cheeses.

Tuesday, January 14, 2014

Organic Non Dairy Ice Cream Review!

I'm not allowed to have dairy for a while, so I was looking in the health food section at Hy Vee and found this gem. I was super excited! I tried it as soon as I got it home. I got vanilla, and it tastes just like vanilla ice cream! The consistency seems the same too. A fantastic alternative for those who can't have dairy. You have to look into it! Don't think you can never have ice cream again = ) ! 

*Roughly $6-$7 for a quart at Hy Vee in the health food/organic section.

Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Slick Black Review!

This one is absolutely too gorgeous not to have in my collection! I currently don't own a black nail polish, except for that one now. It's so beautiful! A nice black with different colored sparkles in it. These polishes are amazing, they really are super shining and they last a long time. I also bought Bait Me and Dream Sequins today. Bait Me is a color in between grey and white. Dream Sequins is a cinnamon colored glitter polish. I was super disappointed in Walmart today! I wanted Make Waves and Great White more than anything, and after checking the availability online, it said they were in stock at the store I went to. I got there and it was picked clean! I asked an associate to please check in back for me, as they were what I specifically came for. She informed me there were none in back and refused to look for me. Even after saying "Well there has to be some in back considering the website said this store was in stock for those". She was so effing rude. Best believe they got an angry email from me! I work retail too and you don't treat your customers that way. Anyway, sorry for the rant lol, but it made me very angry.

*I got Slick Black at Target for $4.59!

Palmolive: Passion Fruit & Plumeria Review!

Ever since I got the Palmolive voxbox from Influenster (my very first box from May!) I've been hooked. This is hands down the best dish soap I've ever used. Included in my box were 5 coupons, so I used them before they expired and stocked up. Finally getting low on them! I have 3 left out of the 7 I started with lol. The Passion Fruit & Plumeria scent is wonderful. Not only is it completely terrific, it cleans the dishes so easily. There can be pieces of food, or melted cheese on a plate and this dish soap cuts straight through it. I don't even let it soak or anything first. In my opinion, Palmolive beats out Dawn and Gain so easily!

*I get them at Target and Walmart for around $2.80 (depending on the type you pick).

Special K Cereal Bars Review!

I saw these at Price Chopper and they looked super good! I got vanilla and blueberry flavors. They're delicious. The vanilla obviously is a little more bland, but it still tastes very yummy to me. The blueberry has a lot of flavor. I love them both. I can't remember which other flavors they had, but I'm sure they have other awesome flavors. I do believe they were around $4. They're nice to have around when you feel like snacking on something.

Canine Carry Out's Review!

These are hands down our dogs favorite treats EVER! Most dogs aren't picky about treats anyway, but she is lol. She doesn't like milk bones, cookie type treats. I always just get her the Canine Carry Out's and she's always happy. Luckily, they have a bunch of different flavors, and they're well priced. They have steak bites, beef, beef & cheese, bacon, bacon & cheese, pizza, and chicken flavors. I like to get the 25 oz bags. They cost around $5. She only gets one treat a day, so if I get the big bags they last forever! Especially the bacon and bacon & cheese flavor. Since, unlike beggin strips, they cut the strips into small pieces for you. I usually get them at Walmart, since I've seen the most variety there. Target also carries them, and I'm sure other stores do too. They also have different size bags to choose from, ranging from $1.97-$7 (or $8). The highest priced bags are the 50 oz ones I believe.

Chicago PD Review!

Yay a brand new cop show! I'm really not sure why I enjoy cop/lawyer shows and CSI type shows so much, I just find them fascinating! Anyway, I was excited when I saw the previews for this one because Sophia Bush is in it! I love her! I'm not really used to seeing her in serious roles. I know she's had more serious roles in the horror movies she's been in, but this is different. I think they picked a great cast for this show. I'm somewhat familiar with the other actors (one guy also played on Mob Doctor as the little brother). I like him in this show vs Mob Doctor because he was part of the mob in that show, and now he's on the other side. Well anyway, the first episode was pretty good. Granted I did lose interest a couple times, but I think it's just because I'm not used to it yet, so I'm not invested yet. It was very exciting though. One of the officers was killed in the very first episode, I can only imagine what they have in store for us for the rest of the season! Honestly though, I will certainly have to do a part 2 after I see more episodes. I can't even really give you guys a break down of the first episode because there was nothing really significant to note (minus the officer being killed). More of the story will unfold and we'll get to know the characters better soon. If you like cop shows, you should give this one a try.

*You can catch new episodes on NBC, Wed nights at 10/9c.

*This is more a review of my first reaction than anything, stay tuned for a part 2!

VitaFusion Gummies Review!

Since I know my diet isn't the best or healthiest in the world lol, I decided to at least incorporate vitamins on a daily basis. I usually get the VitaFusion multivitamin for bone and metabolism health (I'll be 25 this month, but I figure this will make getting older easier). They come in a mixed berry flavor. They taste really good and I always get the gummies since I have a hard time swallowing pills. I get them at Walmart and Walgreens. Unfortunately when I needed vitamins recently, Walmart didn't have them. So I got a complete multivitamin instead. Still mixed berry gummies, just not targeted for bone and metabolism health. I suggest these to anyone and everyone. You only need two gummies each day. They taste good and they do good!

*$11.99 for 150 gummies at Walmart. I've gotten buy 1 get 1 half off at Walgreens before! Which is a great deal!

Pantene VS Yes To Carrots!

I ran out of my Yes To Carrots Nourishing shampoo and Pampering conditioner the other day, so I switched back to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. No no no! I don't believe in wasting things, so I will use Pantene, but wow. It comes no where close to my YTC. Pantene doesn't even feel that nice when I'm washing my hair with it, nor does it leave my hair as soft or light. Granted it isn't horrible, it isn't like my hair looks disgusting now. But after using such an amazing shampoo/conditioner like YTC, I can't imagine using anything else! I hope the Head & Shoulder's I got for free in my Influenster mega voxbox is decent, since I got it for free and don't wanna waste that either. I'm guessing the Yes To Blueberries shampoo/conditioner will be better than Pantene and Head & Shoulder's too, since it's also organic. Will absolutely be switching full time to YTC though. Nothing can come anywhere close to it!

Naked Juice: Blue Machine Review!

I saw this juice at Price Chopper today and wanted to try it. I got Blue Machine which is the blueberry based one. Blueberries, blackberries, apples, bananas, vitamins B3, B5, B6, B12, C, and E. There is also fiber in it and there is no added sugar; the sweet taste comes naturally from the blueberries. It's so unbelievably good! You can taste the blueberry and banana really well. I think it tastes fantastic. You get a 32 oz bottle for around $5. It's worth it when you see how nothing has been added to it and it has so many fruits and awesome vitamins in it. It also has vegetable juice in it. So you get all kinds of good for you things in one bottle! Will for sure be purchasing more in the future!

Yes To Carrots Nourishing Shampoo & Pampering Conditioner Final Review!

I ran out of my YTC shampoo/conditioner today. Sad day lol. I adore this shampoo/conditioner! Hands down the best I've ever tried! I will say the thin consistency threw me for a loop at first (both the shampoo and conditioner are thinner in consistency than I'm used to). My hair is softer, lighter, and as healthy as can be! I'm so glad I tried it! After I try my Head & Shoulders shampoo/conditioner that I got for free in my mega voxbox from Influenster, I'm gonna try my Yes To Blueberries repairing shampoo/conditioner. After I get low again I will absolutely be buying the YTC again! The shampoo is 99.4% natural and the conditioner is 99.8%. Very impressive! The shampoo cleanses, nourishes, and moisturizes your hair and scalp, revitalizing and protecting it and leaving you with luminous, luscious locks. The conditioner provides moisture, conditions, softens, smooths, and tames even the wildest of tresses. Yes that was quoted from their website lol. 

*You can find this duo at Target for $8.99 a piece. Or you can get it here, $17.98 for a shampoo/conditioner bundle, or $25.97 for a shampoo/conditioner/anti-frizz serum bundle! You won't regret it!

My Strange Addiction Review!

This show has been on TLC for quite some time. I feel like it left the air for a really long time though. I honestly thought they had cancelled it, but it came back for the new year! I'm always fascinated lol. They had two brand new episodes (or three, but my DVR taped two). The first episode was about a woman who was addicted to "pony play". I had never heard of this before, but apparently its when someone dresses and acts like a pony, usually including their own trainer. The other subject was a woman who drank paint. At the end of the episode they usually tell you if the person is still addicted or not. Apparently the woman addicted to "pony play" didn't stop, so she was still addicted. The woman who drank paint got help though and eventually was able to kick it. The second episode was about a woman who was addicted to eating mattresses... She would eat it all off until the box springs were exposed! She was able to kick her addiction also though. The second subjects were a pair of twins who were roughly in their 50's. They were addicted to being identical. I found their addiction to be the most tiring of all the ones I've seen. They had to eat the exact same thing so they would weigh the same, they had to dress the same, finish each others sentences, everything had to be the exact same! They even worked in the same room, slept in the same room. They hadn't been apart for more than 20 minutes in 20 years. Just crazy. Of course the concern there is if something happened to one twin, the other wouldn't be able to function and would just be lost without the other. This show is really interesting though. If you think you're interested you should tune into TLC at 10/9c on Mondays!

iLLumiShield Screen Protector Review Update!

So here's the deal. I was super excited to get these screen protectors yesterday. I don't know what happened, but while I was trying to straighten the protector to fit on my phone right, it picked up a TON of lint! Like a crazy amount. I tried all three protectors and the same thing happened with each. It was very frustrating and upsetting! I'm not sure if I should pick a different room to try to put it on in? Or what! I put it on in my room, maybe there's a freakish amount of lint in the air lol. Since I have a lifetime warranty and lifetime replacements, I emailed the company and they're sending me some replacements. I'm not sure if they send the kit every time, but I'm excited and nervous to get them lol. I'm excited because obviously these protectors sound amazing! But nervous for another obvious reason! I don't want them covered in lint again. I'm gonna move as fast as I can too, to get it on my screen with as little time possible in the open lol. They gave me great customer service and were very friendly. I guess just be VERY careful as you put your screen protectors on if they have adhesive on them.

iLLumiShield Screen Protector Review!

I was so excited when I saw these screen protectors for my Blackberry on amazon.com. They came today, yay! They come in a 3 pack and it also includes a cloth to clean your phone screen off before putting the protector on, it also comes with an applicator to get any bubbles out that may have formed when you first put the protector on. They're clear, they have a smooth surface, scratch resistant, anti-fingerprint, and it says its also anti bubble. With that being said, there were hardly any bubbles that appeared when I first put it on. It also says it's backed by iLLumiShield's lifetime warranty replacement program. That's just awesome. I paid $3.95 + $2.95 for shipping. You just can't beat that. I would rate this product 5 stars, except that I don't like that when I was trying to get the protector on straight, fur and lint stuck to the adhesive side. So annoying! I had to take it back off to get as much off as I could. I'm gonna have to take it off AGAIN and try to get the rest off so it doesn't damage my screen or anything. All in all it's a wonderful product. Good buy from Talkie Tech, Inc.

Silicone Phone Cases Review! Part 2

I'm doing a second review for these now that I've had them for a little while. I still love them! The colors I have are cotton candy pink, hot pink, and orange. I also ordered yellow (it'll be here tomorrow along with my screen protector!). I've tried them all on my phone and they fit perfectly. Still currently rockin the first one I ordered (the cotton candy pink). I really like the orange and hot pink too though. I'll probably switch it tomorrow when my yellow one comes, because I'm pretty sure you should take your case off before putting the screen protector on lol. Not sure which color I'll switch to, but I love having options! For now, I think I'm done ordering cases lol. Though as I stated in my first review, these were VERY cheap! I got them from amazon.com for $1.25 a piece! Even after shipping it only came to just over $4. You really can't beat that! If you're looking for a case for your phone, you should check out amazon.com instead of going to the store of whichever service you have. Way cheaper for the same exact cases! You usually get more options too!
