ZonePerfect® Greek Yogurt Bars

I received a Zone Perfect Greek Yogurt Raspberry bar courtesy of Influenster to try out!
I enjoy granola bars with Yogurt but am usually pretty iffy on greek yogurt. It's usually a little too sour for me. I actually thought it was pretty tasty. I love raspberry and yogurt so this was a great combination. 1 bar is 190 calories and it actually curbs my appetite pretty well. It also has 3 grams of fiber and 12 grams of protein. The only bad thing is that there are only 3 flavors currently. Raspberry, vanilla berry, and chocolate.
Check them out HERE and own your zone!

Mary Kay Voxbox

I've never used Mary Kay products before. I always love a chance to try new products and thank Influenster for the chances I get. I believed that the products would be just like buying them from shhhh (avon) but I was proven wrong!
The Lash Love lengthening mascara and primer are amazing! I'm very picky about my mascara and was very pleasantly surprised. The primer goes on clear and leaves no white stuff on your lashes like other primers do. The mascara definitely helps with lengthening. It doesn't clump nor does it take a million applications to get it to look like you're wearing any makeup. The lengthening part makes no difference to me because I have long lashes to begin with but it helps make them look nice.
The lipstick was nice. It went on smooth. I'm not a huge lipstick fan so I didn't really use it after I tried out out. It was also a shade of pink that isn't made for a ginger.
The cream eye shadow was a pretty purple but I can't wear it. I don't care what brand it is or what applicator you use on me, it's not going to come out right. It takes a lot of applications and ends up in the crease of my eye. The brush works awesome but cram color just isn't for me.
I loved this Voxbox because it helped give me more makeup brand options. Thank you Influenster and Mary Kay for letting me try out these products.

Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Review

My skin needs help for real. I won't lie. Totally not in denial. I give most products a try as long as they don't cost an arm and a leg. I started using this product on my face and within a week I noticed a huge change! I have combination skin. T-zone oily, forehead dry. It sucks! But this has made my skin more moisturized, and started looking a lot better. I'm super excited. I will definitely be buying more of this!
I got to try this product thanks to influenster in exchange for my review.

Kiss® Ever PRO Lashes Review

<p>I have crazy long lashes already because I cut them off when I was a child. Apparently I shouldn't have been near scissors back in the day lol. <br>
Anywho, I gave these lashes a shot. I don't know if it's me or the lashes (probably me) but they just wouldn't go on. Part would stick and part wouldn't. It was a mess. Maybe if I had less lashes it would work. Maybe I just don't know what I'm doing. It could be either one. I think they just weren't my thing. They aren't made for everyone.
I received this product from influenster in exchange for my review.

Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin Review

I work in a casino in the cage where there is a lot of constant movement and required bending down so I always have my hair up. I usually have a clip in my hair. Bobby pins don't work, putting my hair I'm a pony tail didn't look very good with my big forehead, and leaving it down gets in my way. I tried out the spin pins and feel in love! They go in so easily and they stay! There is no fixing them every 20 minutes like everything else. I love them. Very glad I got to try them out. I'll definitely be using them more!

I received this product in exchange for my review from influenster.



NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Review

I'm a pale, freckled redhead that doesn't look good in dark eye shadows. I gave it a go anyways. The shadow went on smooth and blended very nicely. I still don't think it looked good on me but I think it came out nicely lol. It also didn't end up in the crease of my eye like other shadows do which was nice.
On a sidenote: it worked well as a face make-up on my son's face to make him a zombie killer. I'm not sure if it came out right but he thought he looked awesome so I guess I did something right.

I received this product in exchange for my opinion from influenster.





Bath & Body Works Mini Candle Review

Within my wonderful box of goodies from influenster I received a black pepper bergamot scented mini candle from bath & body works. At first smell it wasn't so great. But I discovered that once lit it smells quite nice. The scent of pepper and orange works quite well together. At least I thought so. The other half didn't like it so much. He likes fruity or clean scents I guess. I can't wait to try more scents!
Thank you influenster and bath & body works for giving me this opportunity!

The Many Uses of Ivory

Ivory and influenster sent me a free bar of soap. I love it because it's so pure. I used it as a body and face cleanser but in the past I've used it to do laundry when i ran out of detergent and to get stains out of jeans. I like ivory because it makes my skin feel so clean and soft. A lot of soap dry my skin out bad. I love that it's not an expensive soap either, which is great. I've seen carvings, soap flakes, making liquid soap.
I think I'm going to buy more and see what other uses i can discover for ivory!
Thank you again to influenster and ivory for choosing me to receive the mom voxbox!

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

I received this product complimentary from influenster in exchange for a review.

I was excited to try this cookie when i opened the box up. I've been seeing them in store but didn't want to waste money if they weren't good. I have made too many bad choices lately with new foods.
It was very good. Love oatmeal raisin cookies. It was soft and warm (from sitting in a metal parcel box in 100 degree weather).
I would definitely buy this in the future. Great for on the go and great for a snack.

-Made with Whole Grain Quaker Oats
-Individually packaged
-Provides a good source of fiber
-Contains 6 grams of total fat per serving

You can buy these at most major retailers for $2.69 (for 6 cookies).

There's only a picture of the whole box since i ate it without thinking lol.

imPRESS Press On Manicure

I got pretty purple nails!
Check them all out on www.impressmanicure.com!
I haven't used press on nails since i was in middle school. I was sort of nervous to try them.
I opened the package of imPRESS nails. I pulled out all of the nails and began choosing the sizes i needed. All i had to do was pull the tab of and stick them on. It took me all of 5 minutes to get them on. That was pretty awesome. Much better than painting them.
There are only 2 issues i had with them. They are a little too thin. I work at a casino where i deal with a lot of cash, coin, and paperwork. I kept getting little dents all over them. One nail did start lifting but i use my pointer finger on a touch screen and sometimes have to press hard.
The other issue is the thumb nail ones were too small. My nail still stuck out a little bit i made it not look so obvious. I think they should make them just a little bit wider.
All in all i like the nails. I would buy them again in the event that i needed my nails to look good in a hurry or i just wanted a quick change without acrylic. And because nail polish won't stay on my nails.
I'm glad i got to try this product out.

Palmolive Fresh Sponge

I received a free bottle of palmolive fresh sponge dish soap in the mail from influenster.
What it is supposed to do is keep your sponge from smelling. Anyone who uses a sponge knows that after a while the STINK! Especially if you didn't squeeze them out enough or you love in the south/midwest where the heat makes everything with moisture in it smell musty. Soooo I decided to try it out as agreed. And I put it to the test. I used it to wash some dishes first. It lathers well. Has an alright smell. Very fresh and light. Then I let it sit. It sat in my sink soaked with water and buried under dishes for 2 days. I picked it up and squeezed it out. Then went in for the smell. Oh-em-gee!!! This stuff actually worked! Not only was the sponge not slimy add it should have been from sitting there, it didn't stink AT ALL! I was completely and utterly shocked. I HATED using sponges just because the stink so easy. But going forward I think I will go back to using a sponge and start buying this palmolive fresh sponge soap. Best I've ever used!

Want to know where to get it?
Mass retailers like walmart and target. Also soap.com and walmart.com. Retail price is $3.29. Definitely worth it!

In the picture is what I received in the mail. :)
