NYC'S HD Color Trio!

Alright girls and some boys I guess! lol. I was given the opportunity to try out NYC'S HD color trio courtesy of Influenster and their Jolly Vox Box! I absolutely love the colors that were provided as I'm more of a earth tone kinda gal. I'm not a bright colored lover too much unless it's an occasion. It's very simple to use and for those who aren't used to layering shadows and colors to get an effect they've wonderfully labeled each color to show you what part of the eye to put it on. There are three colors (hence the word trio) and the lightest of them all is the highlighter the second color is the darkest and it's the one you'll apply all over your lid and then the last color will be applied to the crease of your eyelid. It creates a wonderful nice natural colored soft look. It takes me not time to apply the eye makeup and the little brush is fairly easy to clean as well as I like to have them last as long as I can and keep them clean. The shadow is very smooth and doesn't clump or feel heavy. I do use a shadow primer from Urban Decay that works wonders and pumps up the volume of the color and helps it last all through the day a bit better. I would definitely use this all the time and I do recommend it!

Jolly VoxBox!!!

Alrighty! This is my very first voxbox and I am all too excited! This one was titled the Jolly Voxbox and the name is correct for it did make me Jolly with all of these goodies! IN it I received a package of 8 Skinny Cow dive filled chocolates (peanut butter filled), mini ducklings duck tape that was pink and zebra striped, NYC HD color trio eye shadow in the colors of long beach sands, a travel pack of puffs plus lotion, and last but definitely not least, Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer in the color of Celestial.

Skinny Cow Candies:
Of course these were the 1st thing I attacked as soon as I opened up the box haha. As it being that wonderful womanhood blessing time of the month these were even more perfect. The flavor inside was a chocolate candy with a peanut butter filling. They come 8 packages to a box. There are 3 candy pieces in a package. In my opinion that's plenty to hold off my chocolate craving for a bit so I think they retail for around four bucks and I think that's a fair price. They are delicious! The chocolate is wonderful and the peanut butter is nice and smooth. It's not too much of one another, but perfect. I have to stop myself before the skinny cow name is no longer relevant!

Mini Ducklings Duck Tape:
This is the first time I've ever seen this version of duck tape and find it quite cute. Mine was a pink and black zebra striped roll. I'm not a fan really of animal prints, but I'm sure there is a selection of other prints to choose from. I think these would be great for decorating or doing a project to add a little spice. I would imagine these being great for high school aged projects and maybe game nights and signs.

NYC HD Color Trio: Beach Sands:
I love NYC as it is and find them wonderfully priced and have never had a problem with their brand or product. I loved the colors that were in my box as I am more prone to natural colors vs bright and flashy colors. The eye shadow goes on very nicely and there are three colors to mix and blend to get a nice warm all over shadow. There is plenty of shadow to last for many uses. There are also labels to let you know which color to use first and the placement of the color on your lid.

Puffs Plus Lotion Tissues:
These couldn't have came at a better time. My little one has a cold and the travel pack is wonderful for on the go and runny noses that are going faster than you! They're soft and did not irritate the bottom area around her nose like I've had others do from having to keep up with that nose! They have a light pleasant scent. They do their job wonderfully as intended and keep the nose from getting raw!

Rimmel London Show Off Lip Lacquer: Celestial:
I have used Rimmel London products before and have usually had great experiences and so I expected nothing but greatness from the product. I was satisfied as it has been a while since I purchased the brand, but the lacquer is nice and smooth and glides on seamlessly. The color is a nice light pink and doesn't make your lips look like a neon sign. It's almost a transparent pink and compliments my fair skin well.

Overall for myself, there is nothing bad to say about this box. This is my first voxbox and I'm more than happy with it. I am so glad I had the opportunity thanks to Influenster to get in on this bad boy! I love love love it more than I can say or type. I would most definitely purchase anyone of these products in the future and I will more than likely stock up on the skinny cow next food trip!

Kroger Skillet Meals: BzzAgent Review

I was given the opportunity to review Kroger's Skillet Meals along with two sides.

I chose the Sausage Pasta Skillet and it was pretty delicious, I'd have to say. It took no time to cook and was full of flavor. I chose the garlic bread and a Caesar Salad kit to acoompany it. The bread cooked in 8 min. and was very tasty and nice and crisp. The salad came with Parmesan cheese, croutons, and dressing. The lettuce was nice and crisp. The cheese was yummy and the croutons were not stale in anyway and gave the salad a nice crunch. This is a great meal for two people. I would recommend it to anyone who's looking to get dinner in a flash.

Comforts For Baby Kroger Brand Campaign!

I was selected to do this campaign via BzzAgent and give this brand a try. I recieved extra coupons along with coupons for:

• 1 free 5pk of bibs
• 1 free up to 50 ct diapers
• 1 free baby wash
• 1 free baby lotion
• 1 free 72 ct baby wipes

The Bibs:
I felt the bibs were of pretty great quality. I had no problem washing them in the machine and they had a plastic like layer between the cloth that helped keep my child's shirt a bit dryer! Of course with a teething mini you need to change the bibs often, but I did not finding myself needing to change her shirt with every bib as well. I give these a 5 out 5!

Diapers:
As my closest Kroger did not have a 50 ct pack I did pick up the 27 ct. I chose the Comforts Chlorine Free diapers in Size 5. The size was perfect and I did feel these didn't give her a rash like I have experienced with my usual Huggies Little Movers. Sometimes she's have a blushed colored bottom every now and then, but with these not a problem! The only negative thing that I had to say is that I feel they don't absorb as well as my Huggies so therefore I go through diapers faster. Which is okay and I would use these diapers again. I give then a 4 out of 5.

Baby Wash:
I chose the Lavender Bath Time by Comforts. I did enjoy the soap as it foams and was easy to get the little booger cleaned and quick. It had a light smell that was just perfect and not too strong. It didn't dry out her skin as I have experienced with Johnson's. It also doesn't take very much to get the baby clean and so therefore you wouldn't use it up fast in my opinion. I would recommend this bath wash and give it 5 out of 5.

The Lotion:
I went with the Soothing Scent for Sensitive Skin. The lotion wasn't very strong and wasn't a heavy lotion either. The problem I had with this is I felt it was very thin and runny. It didn't provide moisture for my child's skin very long. We use Aveeno usually and it does wonders. I was not a fan of this lotion, but was pleased it wasn't a very strong smell. I wouldn't personally recommend this from my experience, but would give this 3 out of 5 stars.

Wipes:
I chose the 72ct wipes for sensitive skin. I absolutely loved these wipes! They weren't drenched in the water like I've experienced with other wipes and the box was mom friendly (meaning I didn't pull out 50 wipes as one time). They weren't heavily scented and have one pillowed side with a soft side which made it easy to clean up those baby faces. I give this particular wipe 5 out of 5.

As for the Kroger brand Comforts for Baby, I give them 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend them to the other mothers I know. I'm not usually won over by a lot of store brands, but this is a brand I feel does a great job and would help save a pinch or two in my purse!

Bzzing about Kroger Home Sense!

Hello All!

I am here to show off my latest BzzCampaign through BzzAgent! I am doing a Kroger Home Sense Cleaning Brand campaign! I received my kit with coupons for:

• 70 ct disinfecting wipes
• Fabric Spray
• 50 oz of detergent
• 80 ct Fabric Softener Sheets
• 2 ct Soft Paper Towels

As a store brand I have to say I am impressed with these items! The wipes do just as well as Clorox if not better! I chose the Original Scent detergent and it smells refreshing while getting those dirty duds clean! The fabric sheets do a nice job giving the laundry a nice warm and soft touch. As someone who used Febreeze A LOT, I will be choosing the Home Sense brand for the next around because it has a light fragrance for a nice effect and a softer touch on my purse! The paper towels are great for wiping up those spills (especially with a very active and curious 1-year-old) on the fly. They're not coarse on the hands and I feel they do a great job of scrubbing. I give all of these items a 5 star review and would recommend them highly. It also helps to have these items readily available to grab up during your grocery trip to shorten the time out and trips as well as gas saving!
