Romantic Bear Lipgloss Review

     With everyone buying items from the app Wish.  I decided to give it a try and see how they stand up to products that we can get from the store.  So I bought a few beauty items that were either a dollar or free from the app.  The first to arrive was a lip gloss from a brand called Romantic Bear.  The color is called Rose Pink and I have to say that the color matches the bottle it comes in. 
     I have to start with the box because of how cute it is.  I love the cute little cartoon girl on it and that it explains what the product is and what is in it.  Now onto the bottle.  It is a nice size bottle in the color that the lip gloss is in and matches the color very well.  It has the face of the cartoon girl on it, the name of the manufacture, and the color in really nice writing on it.  The applicator is a triangular brush but it is easy to apply.
     Applying it is very easy.  You take the applicator out of the bottle and just apply it like normal lip gloss on your lips.  Now what I do is put it on my bottom lip and then press my lips together.  I then touch up on areas that were missed and remove access that did not go on my lips.  Now you leave it on for maybe 30 seconds to a minute for it to dry and then you are good to go.  I found that the color lasts a long time and does not smudge or come off when you take a drink.  I wore it when I first got it and it stayed on for me about 12 hours so that is a lot longer than some of the other lip stains, glosses, or lipsticks that I have tried in the past.  The color is good for any occasion or just for daily makeup.

I also made a video of me applying it as well. 

Skinactive review

This is my review of Garnier SkinActive 3 in 1.  I used this for about a week and it was really good.  You can use it in 3 different ways.  You can put it on after you wash your face in the morning or evening or you can put a layer of it on like a mask for 10 minutes and then wipe it off.  I have sensitive skin so I was concerned I was going to have a reaction to it.  I used it and I never had a reaction to it.  I love how hydrated my skin felt and how soft it was.  My skin is normally dry when the weather gets colder and this has been a lifesaver for me.  I will definitely continue using this in the future.

Dryel Product Review

    So I know that Dryel has been around for a while but I have never used it because I honestly thought it really didn't work.  Well, seeing how much it was costing me to have everything that I own that is dry clean only starts to add up.  So I went out and bought the starter kit from my local Wal-Mart.  I tried it for the first time today and I am totally floored on how well it works.
   I will first go through what you have to do when you get the starter kit.  So the kit comes with a stain and odor booster spray, the dryel bag, and the dryel clothes.  The first thing you do is use the spray on any stains that are on your clothing.  Then you put the garment in the Dryel garment bag along with one of the Dryel cloths.  Then you put the bag in the dryer on medium heat for 15 minutes.  Finally after the 15 minutes take the bag out of the dryer, take your garments out, and hang them up in the closet. 
     I found that the clothing smell great when they come out of the bag and there are no more stains on the clothing.  I really like this product and highly recommend this to anyone now.

Soapbox Sea Minerals Body Wash Review

I got this as a sample for Swaggable.com.  I have used it for a week and have seen a major difference in my skin.  My skin is softer and I actually feel clean.  I love that it doesn't have the harsh chemicals that I have notice comparing it to other body washes.  I also love the clean scent.  I have sensitive skin and have to watch out for what body wash I use.  I highly recommend this to anyone and will definitely be looking into buying this in the future.

Lyft All Natural Clean Caffeine product review

I got this as a sample from swaggable.com and I tried it on my first day of being on night shift at work.  I was amazed at how well it worked.  I normally drink coffee and I can feel the crash coming about 3/4 through my shift.  I took this a few minutes before the start of my shift in 8 oz glass of water and it kept me up all night.  I did not feel jittery like what most energy drinks make me feel and I did not feel tired at all until I got home.  Will definitely consider buying this in the future.

Jingle VoxBox

I got the Jingle VoxBox from Influenster.com.  In it I received a cute itty bitty from Hallmark (I got Rapunzel), 3 packages of Biscoff cookies (which are very good with nutella), KISS True Volume Lashes, a sample of Cetaphil, a bottle of Pure Ice nail polish, and  NYC City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeliner.  I have to say for a little box it came with a lot of stuff.  I have used teh Cetaphil creme and it makes my skin feel so mush softer and hydrated.  I got a nice silvery colored nail polish from Pure Ice that I love wearing.  The lashes were great especially for someone like me who has never worn them before.  The eyeliner is great and I use it pretty mush every day.  It is easy getting one of these Voxboxes.  All you have to do is go to Influenster.com and sign up and just start reviewing stuff that you are already using or have used in the passed to qualify for a VoxBox.  They will email you when you are eligible and then will send you a box of products for you to try and review.  And also you get badges for every Box or campaign that you complete and also for products that you have reviewed.

Haribo Sour Gold Gummy Bears review

I got this as a sample from swaggable.  I was really impressed with it.  I love gummy snacks and Haribo is one of my favorites.  I would recommend this to anyone who loves gummy snacks as much as I do.  I really liked that it was sweet and sour but not too sour.  I would definitely buy this next time I am at the store.

Cetaphil mosturizer product review

I got a sample of Cetaphil mosturizer from Influenster.  I used the product for a week and can feel a big difference.  My skin is normally dry and itchy.  After using this my skin feels softer and not as itchy.  I would recommend this product for people who are like me and for people who have allergies to scented lotions and mosturizers.

Goddess Garden Natural Sunscreen SPF30 Review

I got a sample of the Goddess Garden Natural Sunscreen SPF30 and tried it for a couple days.  I really like it and love that it is not greasy like other sunscreens that I have used.  I would recommend this to anyone looking for an organic sunscreen.  I would definitely buy this because I do a lot of stuff outdoors and am always looking for a more natural ingrediant sunscreen.

Coola Classic SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizer for face review

I love this sunscreen.  I use it when I know that I'm going to be going out and will be out in the sun for a period of time.  I love the scent and its not as greasy as some of the other sunscreens I have used.

 

Coastal Scents styleEyES Eyeshadow palette review

I love this eye palette.  The colors go on easily and stay on for a long time.  The colors are amazing and I don't need to use a whole lot to put on my eyes.  Will be using this palette a lot more than my other palettes.

Amika Perk Dry Shampoo review

I have used other dry shampoos and this one is the best one that I have used.  It smells great and does not leave a greasy residue that other ones I have tried did.  My hair feels clean like I just washed.  I was only using a sample bottle but it lasted a long time if you use is sparingly.  Will definitely think of investing in a bigger bottle.

 

Avon Supershock Mascara Black review

This is my go to mascara. I love this color and I love how it looks. The brush makes it super easy to put on. I also love how mu lashes look after putting it on.

Volum' Express® The Mega Plush™ Washable Mascara Brownish Black 0.3 fl. oz. review

It is hard for me to find mascara that really puts volume in my lashes. Then I found this mascara. I love how it really makes my lashes look thicker. I wear makeup a lot and not only does this mascara make my lashes thicker but it also lasts all day which for me is a must. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for long lasting mascara that also makes lashes thicker.

Maybelline Volum'Express Maybelline Volum' Express Pumped Up! Colossal Waterproof Mascara review

It's hard for me to find mascara that really puts volume in my lashes. This is one product that I have found that really does that. I love how thick it makes my lashes. I highly recommend this product to anyone.  I love the fact that this is waterproof and that it lasts a long time.  

Maxwell House International latte Pumpkin Spice

     This is the Maxwell House International latte in the flavor of pumpkin spice.  It comes a 9 oz container.  You can put hot water and make a latte or you can put a few spoonfuls in your morning coffee and use is as a creamer.  You can make about 17 lattes with one container.  It is very creamy and is full of flavor with every sip. I have been drinking this for a couple days and it is great to have on cool mornings and to relax with a book.
     If you are someone who likes lattes this product is perfect for you.  If you are looking for something with a lot of caffeine in it than this is not what you are looking for.   It is for someone who likes something light to drink that isn't as strong as coffee.
     I have been drinking this for a couple days and absolutely love it.  It is full of flavor and is very good.  I really like that it foams after stirring water in.   The aroma is very relaxing and you know what it is going to taste like just from the smell.
     The only negative this about this is that it doesn't have the kick coffee does.  I am an avid coffee drinker and cannot really start my morning without cup in the morning.  That is the only negative that I can find with this product.
     You can find this in any grocery store or convenience store that sells coffee.  You can also order online at amazon or the Maxwell coffee website.

Bag of Holding Con Edition Review

     I received this as a gift from my mother and I thought I would write a review on it.  I actually got to use it for the first time at a local con called Metrocon near where I live.

     I will start with the front.  There are 2 Velcro stickers that can be pulled off and moved around on the front of the bag.

     There are also two pockets on the sides of the bag.  One can be used to hold a water bottle and the other one can be used for another water bottle or poster.

The first zipped section open really wide.  There is a section with clear plastic that a tablet can be stored in and still be able to be used.  There are also small pockets for pens or pencils.  There is also a bigger pocket for cosmetics and charger for a phone and tablet.

The bigger zipped area is where you can keep books and what I used it for was a change of clothes from the cosplay I was wearing one day at the convention I was at.

This is a great bag to have for the convention goer.  It has enough room for everything you need to take the things you need for the convention that you are at.  I would recommend this to anyone that is needing to know what kind of bag would be good for a convention.

Dove 48 Hour Deodorant review

     I was chosen by Dove to test out a new deodorant that they were releasing and test it for 48 hours.   I used it and have to day that it lasted as long as they said it would.  I sweat a lot so having something that can last a long time it great.  I wore the deodorant for 48 hours and I was still dry and did not smell like sweat.  It works great for those (like myself) who have sensitive skin.
