Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick Review

Tuesday, August 27, 2013

DISCLOSURE:  I reviewed a free Mary Kay True Dimensions Lipstick from People StyleWatch Style Hunters to try and review.

I love trying new makeup.  It's fun playing with different colors and achieving different looks.  When I find a makeup product that I like, I end up using it forever!  Recently, I had the opportunity to try Mary Kay's True Dimensions Lipstick.

I've never really used many Mary Kay products before.  I've only had a "facial" done once by a Mary Kay consultant.  She was actually one of my patients and at the end of the exam, she asked if I was interested in getting a facial done.  I agreed, since I was interested in checking out some of the Mary Kay products and I was planning on having my sisters come over, too.  I ended up buying eyeshadow and foundation, but didn't really use them much.



NERF Rebelle Review

Tuesday, August 20, 2013

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free NERF Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow from NERF and BzzAgent to try and review.

My boys love playing with their NERF guns.  We have darts all over the house.  My 9 year old daughter will play with them from time to time, but doesn't like to admit that she likes to play with "boy toys."  She says she'd be embarrassed if anyone saw her or heard about her playing with them.  Luckily, NERF has come out with a line of crossbows and blasters -- just for girls!  NERF Rebelle!

I was sent a kit from BzzAgent to try and review the Heartbreaker Bow from the NERF Rebelle line.  The kit included:
  • A NERF Rebelle Heartbreaker Bow
  • A Dart Refill Pack
  • A NERF Rebelle brochure
  • Rebelle-Themed Temporary Tattoos
  • Coupons to pass along

Infantino Go Gaga! Stack, Sort & Ball Drop Elephant

Wednesday, July 31, 2013

DISCLOSURE:  I have received the Go Gaga! Stack, Sort & Ball Drop Elephant from Infantino to facilitate my review.

I recently had the opportunity to try and review a new toy from Infantino: the Stack, Sort & Ball Drop Elephant from the Go Gaga! Collection.  It features four fun activities:
  • Shape Sorter
  • Ball Drop
  • Push and Go Spinner
  • Stacking Rings
Each activity is supposed to help encourage fine motor development, hand-eye coordination and rewards early problem solving efforts.  It's recommended for infants 6 months and up.

The Shape Sorter features three colored blocks in three different shapes.  It rewards your child with song, sounds and light when they put the blocks into the elephant.

There are three small balls included in three different colors.  Your child can drop them into the elephant or balance one on the elephant's trunk.  The balls are easy for small hands to hold.

RUSK Deepshine® Color Care Invisible Dry Shampoo Review

Sunday, July 21, 2013


DISCLOSURE: I received a free bottle of RUSK Deepshine® Color Care Invisible Dry Shampoo from StyleWatch Style Hunters to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

I hate my hair.  It's thick, coarse, and has a slight wave.  So, I usually end up washing it every morning and then blow drying and flat ironing it straight.  As I've gotten older, the grays have started coming in.  So, I've also started coloring my hair in the past year.  This has changed the texture of my hair, making it even dryer and harder to style.

I hardly ever go a day now without washing it.  My second day hair is pretty flat and oily if I straighten it.  If I leave it wavy, it's dry and frizzy and kind of crazy.  The idea of dry shampoo sounds appealing and like something I'd want to use, but of the several kinds of tried, they never seemed to work for me.  So, when I was given the chance to try another one, I was hopeful, but still skeptical.




Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash Review

Saturday, July 20, 2013

DISCLOSURE:  I received a free bottle of Colgate Total Mouthwash from Influenster.com to try and review.  All opinions are my own.

I don't use mouthwash regularly.  While, I do brush and try to floss regularly, I find that most mouthwashes burn too much for me to use everyday.  I'll use them from time to time, whenever I felt like my mouth and teeth could use some extra cleaning.  When I was asked to try and review the new Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash, I was excited!

Colgate Total Advanced Pro-Shield Mouthwash provides up to 12 hours of protection -- even after eating and drinking.  All without the burn of alcohol!  It kills 99% of germs, reduces plaque, helps prevent gingivitis and freshens your breath.  It's available in three flavors:
  • Peppermint Blast
  • Spearmint Surge
  • Wintermint Rush
I was sent a kit that included a 250 mL bottle of the Peppermint Blast flavor and a fact sheet on the product:
