Hoarding: Buried Alive Review!

This show is pretty good. I've been watching since the first season. They're in their 4th season currently. The show is pretty much how it sounds. It's about people who hoard. Some homes are much, much worse than others. I watched last nights episode. Wow! This woman lived all by herself (her hoarding pushed everyone in her life away). She had things piled so high she could stand on top of it and touch the ceiling. BUT, she couldn't even stand up all the way, she had to hunch down so she wouldn't bump her head on the ceiling. She also had some roomies. Rats. Massive rats. They were huge. They had giant rat holes outside of her house that made tunnels to the inside. There were well over 20 holes. Tons and tons of rats! Everywhere. They weren't scared of people either, so they just ran around on top of her stuff all day long. By the end of the episode, the roomies had moved out. Her house was spotlessly clean! Hopefully she can keep it that way.

NYC Kiss Gloss: Clear As Can-Dy Review!

I really like this one! I think it's my favorite of the 6 I have. The others have a candy/fruity flavor/scent to them, but this one has a minty flavor/scent. City Sorbet, 5th Ave Frosting, Sugar Hill Shimmer, and Jay Walkin Jam all have sparkles and shimmer in them. Clear As Can-Dy and Murray Hill Melon don't have sparkles or shimmer, just glossy looking. It'll be nice to have the option if I want one with shimmer or not lol. These Kiss Glosses are worth looking into! $2.99!

*I found that Walmart has the most variety, seeing as how they carry ALL of the flavors! The Target in my area only carried City Sorbet.

Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Retro Glam Mascara Review!

This was one of the products in my #RoseVoxBox (complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes). I like it! The brush is cool. It's not a fiber brush. It's taller on the sides and shorter in the middle. It doesn't clump very much and two coats makes your lashes look beautiful and full. It really does kinda look retro, yet still modern (I suppose depending on your make up choices). This is a brand new product, I haven't seen them in stores in my area yet. They retail for $5.99 (Influenster tells you the value of the products you receive). If this sounds like something you would like, you should check it out. It's a pretty cool mascara!

NYC Big Bold Curl Mascara Review!

I had been wanting to try this mascara and finally bought some the other day! I tried it as soon as I got it home. I've been wanting to experiment a little bit. I'm a Maybelline girl, but I wondered if I switched to NYC would I really notice a big difference? NYC is the cheapest make up I know of, and it's good quality! So there's really no reason not to at least try them out. I honestly didn't notice much of a difference between this mascara and the Maybelline ones I usually buy. Doesn't clump that much. Gives you bigger/longer looking lashes. I really like it. I was paying close to $7 for Maybelline's mascara and I paid $4.50 for this one. I'm thinking switching to NYC will be seamless!

*You can find them at Target and Walmart (although I don't think all Walmart's have them in stores. I know the one in my area doesn't.)

Because I Said So Review!

This movie was on Lifetime today! I love, love, love it! I know it only got a star and a half for it's critique, but there must have been a lot of men rating it lol. It's a great girl movie. Mandy Moore, Lauren Graham, Diane Keaton. Great cast, great acting. It's all about a mother (Diane) who sets up a personal ad for her daughter (Mandy). After interviewing many, many men, she decides an architect named Jason is the perfect fit for her daughter. She sets it up so they meet "accidentally" since she doesn't want her daughter to know she meddled. Another guy she interviewed was a musician, she said absolutely not to him. He swiped one of her daughters cards (she's a chef and does catering) and he met her where she works. At first she thinks she hits it off with both guys, but then she decides only one really makes her feel like herself with him. I won't give away more than that, although this movie did come out in 2007! Ha ha. If you haven't seen it, well what are you waiting for?! It's one of my favorites. You get everything, comedy, drama, etc. It's so flippin good!

NYC Liquid Lip Shine Review!

I heard a lot of people saying they really loved this product. So I decided I wanted to try it too! I really like it! It's a good formula. Doesn't feel heavy, it isn't sticky either. The colors are really pretty. I got Rivington Rose, Brighton Beach Peach, Honey on the Hudson, and Nude York City. They're all flavored the same. They taste and smell like candy. They have 10 colors total. I really want the Big Apple Spice color too. They last a decent amount of time. I also really like the applicator. It's a wand and it has a spongy applicator. I like the shine a lot too, it isn't over the top. Oh, did I mention you can get these at Target or Walmart for $1.98?! I love NYC's line so much! Amazing, good quality make up for an amazing price. Even if you aren't a gloss person, but wanna try it, it's only 2 bucks. So if you end up not liking it, it isn't even that big of a hit to your wallet.

Back Loofah Review!

I purchased a back loofah from Target not too long ago. I love them! They make cleaning your back so much easier! All loofah's were on sale the day I went! Gotta love that! I got my back loofah in blue for only $4.19. I also went ahead and got a regular loofah too for only $2.02! There's nothing really fancy to the back loofah I got, it's just a basic loofah. No wooden handle or anything. The mesh is nice quality. It lathers up my shower gel really well too. I will absolutely be buying it again when I need another!
