300X 3D Fiber Mascara by Lash Factory Review

3/28/2016

I received this 300X 3D Fiber Mascara by Lash Factory complimentary to test and review.

This product comes with two tubes in an elegant case, eyelash comb, and an eyebrow comb as well! Before I begin on my experience, I want to take some time talking about the quality of the product. First, I LOVE that it is made with many high-quality 
natural ingredients, including green tea fibers! It is water-resistant yet was still easy to remove at the end of the day with soap and water. It is non-toxic and paraben and SLS free, which makes me a happy-camper!

This mascara is fairly simple to apply and comes with easy to follow directions. You just apply one coat of the longer tube, which is the transplanting gel. This gel is colored so you start to get the "black" look on your lashes. While the gel is still wet on your lashes, open the shorter tube, which is filled with dry fibers, and apply it to the middle and tips of your lashes. A few times the fibers fell into my eyes, so just be mindful of this when you apply it (it didn't sting or anything, I just blinked and they fell out of my eyes). You finish off your look with another coat of the transplanting gel (longer tube) to lock in your lashes. You can use the eyelash comb if you want to separate each eyelash, but I didn't find that necessary when I've used this. 

And Voila! You have dramatic eyelashes in just a minute. :) I love how my eyelashes look like I applied fake-eyelashes. They looked long and full! :) I'm very happy with my experience!

Review: Heart Shaped Stainless Steel Measuring Spoons!

3/27/2016

I received these measuring spoons complimentary to test and review.

May I just begin by saying how adorable these are? You can use these to measure things with "love," which I just think is such a cute idea.

This set comes with 4 measuring spoons in varying sizes. The spoons are connected together by a thin metal circle at the end. Each spoon is engraved with a certain cute saying like "a pinch of bliss."

After reading these, I noticed there are no size measurements on them. I thought, maybe these are one of those measuring spoons that measure "pinches/dashes/spoonfuls" because that is what the engravings said on the spoons. However, the "pinch/dash" spoons were much too big for what I would use as a pinch or dash in my baking. This was a huge bummer to me because they don't serve that big of a purpose if they don't have reliable measurements on them. Because of this, I don't use them very often and I really want to!

I think if the company either puts the measurements on the spoons OR makes the spoons more consistent to what a pinch/dash/spoonful is and keep their cute quote engravings, then this would be an AMAZING product. It's just a simple fix that can make these my last option for baking to my first and favorite. However, this is 100% my opinion and others may think differently, as is expected with all of my reviews.

Review: Purefly Inflatable Neck Pillow

3/27/2016

 I received this travel neck pillow complimentary to test and review.

I'm overall pleased with this product, because it was easy to inflate and is comfortable.

I like that it has cushions for you to rest your cheeks on. A lot of other neck pillows do not have this, and it is super nice to have!

I also love that it has two snap fasteners around the front so you can secure it by buttoning the two snaps together and then you won't wake up with the travel pillow halfway off (or completely off!) of you. I think these are two components to this specific travel pillow that make it unique and set it apart from many other travel pillows.

With that said, you do have to manually inflate and deflate it, but it did not take me too long to do so (just pinch the nozzle when inflating/deflating).

The neck pillow folds down to a rather small size and fits into a pouch (that also has a snap closure). This allows storage of the pillow to be easy and not take up unnecessary space in your house or travel luggage.

Docolor Travel Makeup Brush Set Review

3/25/2016

This is a nice "on the go" makeup brush set. It has the essential brushes you need and comes in a handy case that closes via a magnet! It feels easily into your purse or whatever bag you may be using. I've also put some other small things in there (and only had the brushes I needed) to make a nice "touch up" set that I can easily find in my bag because of the gold color! I also like that the brushes are synthetic so I can use the brushes for both my powder and liquid makeup. This has been great to have with me! Brushes don't shed and do the job of applying your makeup well:)! For the price, I am very pleased with the quality and how often it has come in handy.

Valentia Clear Lift Revitalizing Serum Review

3/20/2016

This serum is wonderful. I love the smell and how it feels on my skin. It smells very natural and is very subtle. I love that it is made with natural products and actually works well! I have sensitive skin and this caused no irritation and did not sting at all. A little bit of this goes a long ways (you just need 1-2 pumps). This is easy to use and made with high-quality natural products. Plus, this is made in the USA and is cruelty free. I really like this product and how my skin feels after I use it. :)

Ponytail Headband Review

3/20/2016

​This works well. It is secure on my head and covers my ears nicely while also having enough room for those with thicker hair to also wear this. I like how big the opening is in the back for the pony-tail, because my mother (who has thick hair) was also able to use this as was I (with fine hair). I like that it is versatile enough with the sizing that it really can fit nicely on anyone with any hair type. I like that it is wider around the ear area, so your entire ear is covered by the material. Overall, this does a nice job keeping my ears warm and is comfortable!

Dream Big, Smile Big Book Review

This book is very informative and not super difficult to read. It also has some pictures to help illustrate some complex concepts, which is super helpful. This book is full of excellent information on dental procedures and dental practices. It is not a super long book and you can easily skip to different sections based on what you are interested in learning about. I thought this was a very reader-friendly book while still having detailed information and teaches you a lot.

Review: Got Me Tipsy's "Best Boss Ever" Coffee Mug.

3/20/2016

This mug is great. It is a nice size and has a very study handle. The glass is thick and feels high-quality. The writing is very legible and is on both sides of the glass. The period at the bottom is a crown, which I thought was a nice touch. Overall, this product is as described and is an excellent gift. I gave it to my mom when she quit her job to start her own business and she was touched and LOVES using it! A sure way to make someone smile while giving them a practical and well-made product. Highly recommend.

Flickering Flameless Candles Review

3/20/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
Picture
What I like:
The candles themselves are made of real wax
The electronics and LED lights are all hidden inside the candle
As a result, from a distance, the candles look extremely realistic
The illumination of the "wick" look extremely realistic from a distance
The "flicker" effect of the wick (which can be turned on or off) looks extremely realistic from a distance
The remote control is very handy and fully functional
The intensity of the lights can be adjusted up or down as desired
Since the candles are battery-operated, they are extremely SAFE (unlike real candles)
The ambiance created by the candles is extremely nice and appealing (just like real candles)

What could be better:
Each candle requires 3 AAA batteries to operate, so the entire set is quite "battery hungry"

Overall impression:
This candle set is very nice. I must say that, despite my general dislike of "fake" products, this product performs extremely well and does not look fake in either the on or off mode. When operating, these candles look extremely realistic. I love the fact that, with these fake candles, you can create the same ambiance of real candles without the fire hazard. I'm also very impressed with how the fake wick on these candles "flickers" when you turn on the flicker function. This is one fake product that actually exudes a bit of class (which I did not previously believe was even possible). Overall, I'm very impressed and satisfied with this product!

Valentina Men's Exfoliating Scrub Review

3/19/2016

0 Comments

 
Picture
I LOVE the smell of this product. I gave this to my dad, who was hesitant at first, and he noted that the smell was nice because it wasn't "trying too hard to be manly." By this, he meant it is not overly scented, Yet it has a very mild and distinct "man" smell. Once my mom walked him through what to do, he tried it and actually enjoyed it. He said his skin felt really nice and soft after. He said that it was an intense exfoliator; however, this is likely due to men having tougher skin in general. My dad also said that he LOVED that this was made in the United States and had a lot of natural and organic products. Overall, he enjoyed the product and thought it worked well. I would recommend this product!
