Victoria's Secret Pink: Fashion Leggings Review!

Now I've done their 2/$40 deal a few times =). Total I have 4 Raglan Tee's (1 I used my birthday coupon for), 1 Baseball Tee, and 2 Fashion Leggings. The first pair of leggings I got were a basic black pair with lace around the waist. I absolutely love them! I'm actually wearing them on my date tonight! They're so comfortable and really pretty. I tried them on in the store since I wasn't sure if I should get a small or a medium. The small fit me like a glove! Yet still feels comfortable and I can breathe fine lol. The last 2/$40 deal I did I got another Raglan (in this gorgeous brownish red color) and a pair of fashion leggings. I almost got this pair that looked kind of dull, but had black polka dots down the side of the leg. They looked almost grey though and I think the black would go with more. So I got a pair that looks almost kind of shiny. It's subtle though and it's a nice rich black. They do fit tighter than the other pair do, but I think they'll be fine. Hopefully I don't find them uncomfortable since it's too late to exchange them now. I recommend the deal because it's a decent deal, especially for VS. The Raglan Tee's, Baseball Tee's, and Fashion Leggings are all included. They're all $24.50 full price. There are some online in the clearance section, but I don't find the prices especially impressive. I did order what's called a Thermal Raglan online yesterday. Full price $24.50 on sale for $6.99! That's like a Target priced top! I WAS impressed by that price, so I got one in pink and one in a pretty green color. They look a little short (the other Raglan goes passed your butt). I figure I could wear a tank top underneath though. Can't wait till they ship out! Happy shopping if ya'll are looking to take advantage of some good deals!

Rimmel London Prize Pack from Influenster Review!

This is a first impressions review! I will do separate reviews for each product after I try them. So, a few months ago I got the Rose Voxbox from Influenster (complimentary for testing purposes). I completed all of the brand challenges and I won 2 of them! Yay! I got the Kiss brand prize pack (a nail art kit and press on nails) and also the Rimmel London prize pack! I was most excited for the Rimmel one because you got a lot! Which is exciting, since I honestly haven't used a lot of Rimmel London products. Included in my prize pack was the lash accelerator mascara, 2 lip lacquers (Celestial and Big Bang), and 2 felt tip liners (1 thick & thin and 1 super thin). I'm really excited to try everything! Especially the mascara. I like the brush a lot. I opened everything up right away and tried everything (but the mascara) out on my hand. The liners are awesome. I don't know how I feel about the lacquer in Big Bang. It's a super red color. Celestial is more neutral. I have one of these that I bought on my own and I HATE the taste of them. Absolutely disgusting. So I don't know how often I'll be using the lacquers (or if I'll give them to someone who can stand the taste). Will most certainly be putting the liners and mascara to good use though!

EdealSaving: Amazon Review!

As I've stated in other reviews, I now have a ton of silicone cases I ordered from amazon.com. Most of which I ordered through Cbus. I really like Cbus because their mold is perfect for my Blackberry. It fits perfectly and I can access everything the same (its cut perfectly so I can still charge my phone, use my camera/flash, etc). I saw this really pretty purple case that I HAD to have! EdealSaving were the sellers. I've bought cases from another company before (besides Cbus) and the case didn't fit as well. My phone is black with silver around the edges, Cbus cases cover the silver completely, but this other brand did not. So it doesn't look as good. EdealSaving fits really well. Not quite as good as Cbus, but still good. Only a tiny sliver of silver shows. You can barely even see it. Cbus has a purple case (I own it =D), but it's a deeper purple. The one EdealSaving has is this gorgeous lighter purple. Online it looks really light, almost a dull kind of purple. In person it reminds me of a berry smoothie lol. It's a really nice purple. I like it way better than I did in the pics! I paid $4.49 and it came with a stylus pen. The pen is useless, but I didn't buy it for that (thank goodness...). The string is too short and the pen only works on the track pad. I use my thumb for my track pad. Oh well. I paid $8.98 total, which is still way less than I would be able to get one at the T-Mobile store. So if you're in the market for a case, check out amazon.com first! Just put in your phone type.

Sally Hansen Triple Shine: Pixie Slicks & Twinkled Pink Review!

So of course I had to paint my toe nails for Valentine's Day =). I picked Pixie Slicks because it's a pretty, baby pink. 2 coats and it's perfect! I put Twinkled Pink (which is just a glitter polish) on top of Pixie Slicks on my big toes. Just to make it even more festive! I'm so happy with the results. My toe nails look beautiful =). Like I've said before, I've heard you don't need base/top coats with this polish since it has such good staying power. If you have "oily" nails like I do (not oily to the touch, but have a hard time keeping polish on) you will need it. Nail polish peels right off my finger nails and toe nails. I never paint my finger nails because it lasts maybe an hour tops? Not worth the effort! My toes will stay put for a couple weeks. I used a base coat, 2 coats of color, 1 coat of glitter polish on big toes, and a top coat.

Bath & Body Works: Midnight for Men Review!

In addition to their Forever Midnight, they made a Midnight for Men. They're supposed to blend together and make an unforgettable scent. I don't really care for men's fragrances. Obviously, I wouldn't wear them myself anyway lol. But I just don't like how strong they think men should smell. Very overwhelming. This scent is no different. I also think all the others smell the exact same. I sure don't smell a difference if there is one. If your boyfriend/husband is into heavy scents though, this one would probably be a good one for Valentine's Day.

Walmart Boots Review! Part 2

So I got these boots from Walmart last year. They're brown with white trim, they look exactly like Ugg boots. I've worn them for 2 winters now. They're usually amazing. I was digging my car out of 6 inches of snow the other day and my feet were completely dry when I got back in (and yes I had to bury my feet in the snow! lol). For some reason today when I went to run errands, I was having a really terrible time with them! I'm not sure if it's because the ground was mostly wet today, still with solid snow, but it was mostly just wet. Well my boots soaked through! My socks were soaked when I got home 2 hours later. My feet were totally frozen. I couldn't feel them at all! It was so crazy since, like I said, I've never had problems with them before. I also like them because they were only $12, so it really didn't matter when they would get all dirty. My errand running, car-digging-out boots lol. I really didn't care what happened to them as far as looks go. While I was at Walmart today though, I saw these ADORABLE black ones with grey trim. The very last pair and they were in my size! I was so excited. AND they were on sale for $9! Hopefully I have better luck with these ones. I will of course hang on to my brown ones though. I think I would still suggest them, but BE CAREFUL when water is involved!

Yes To Carrots Daily Moisture Body Lotion Review! Part 2

I have eczema, and I get bad flare ups on my hands during the winter. With the harsh, cold, dry air. My poor hands can't take it. My eczema flares up, my skin gets unbelievably dry! They'll crack and peel. I usually pick a day off of work I have and use this lotion after I wash my hands every single time. By the middle of the day my hands are 100% better! I'm not sure if it's because it's organic, but my skin drinks it right in and I see immediate improvement. Not to mention I feel immediate relief! Which is fantastic! I don't know what I would do without this lotion. It's a true hand saver =). I use this all day and then use the Intense Repair hand lotion over night. Helps my hands way more than I could ever say! I absolutely recommend this to any and everyone who suffers from dry skin. This will change your life!

*You can find it at Target for $10.99-$12.99! 99% natural.

*The hand lotion is $8.99! 98% natural.
