Lovely Lashes Eyelash Curler by Izy Trends

#beautytools

I tried out this eyelash curler recently by Izy Trends and I have to say, I really like it.

It's easy and comfortable to use and comes with two of the rubber pieces.

To be honest I never really understood the need for an eyelash curler but it does make a difference. I've had days where my lashes just didn't have that pop or wow factor and now I know that it was because of lack of curl.




Now that I have these cute little eyelash curlers I can get that look anytime in just a matter of seconds.

I don't really have any other eyelash curler to compare this one too because like I said I've never really used one unless it was a friends and even then I didn't know what I was doing.

But they can't get any better than this one I'm sure. This curler works perfectly and gives my lashes a nice curl.

If you are interested in learning more about this eyelash curler or purchasing it for yourself you can do so on Amazon. They currently sell for $10.75 and comes with a 100% lifetime guarantee or your money back.

YALMEH Glorifying Facial Cleansing Moisturizer & Rejuvenator

This product by Yalmeh surprised me! It is a cleanser, moisturizer and toner all in one.

This product is made with natural and organic ingredients. It contains a combination of Organic Aloe, Sunflower Oil, Beeswax, Olive Oil, Avocado Oil, Kokum Butter and Jojoba Oil for moisturizing. It also contains vitamin B5. 

So when I first used it I had to do a double take to make sure I was using the right thing. I thought to myself "okay, did I just wash my face with a moisturizer?" because this product did not lather at all!

I didn't know how to feel about this at first because I'm so used to cleansers being sudsy so this was a whole new experience for me. Also when I rinsed it I felt as though it wouldn't come off. I felt like I had this thick layer of oil on my face.

 This product does contain quiet a few oils so I can see why it would make my skin feel as it did. These oils are so good for your skin though and even though it wasn't sudsy I still felt like my skin was getting clean. The best part is the fact I didn't have to do any additional steps after such as applying a toner or moisturizer. The thick oily feel to my face didn't last but left my skin feeling so soft and supple.

My skin is combination so it does get oily from time to time especially in the hotter months. I see myself using this product mostly in the winter time when my skin gets very dry and flaky. Most cleansers I use leave my skin feeling tight and itchy and when you add that to the cold wind drying it out even further, that is not a good combination. This product is definitely going to be my go to cleanser for winter time.

This product is also available on Amazon. It currently sells for $19.95 plus free shipping. The company also offers a 90 day money back guarantee if your not fully satisfied with the product.What a great deal!

YALMEH Foundation Brush

#Yalmeh

Here is a foundation brush I got to try recently by Yalmeh. It is made with synthetic fiber materials and the bristles are very soft, yet sturdy. 

I really like the thick handle because it makes it easier to hold and more comfortable. The bristles are angled so that you can apply foundation or powder in creases around your eyes or nose.

I've never used a foundation brush like this for powder but I have for liquid. Applying liquid foundation can be super messy and difficult to get just right but with this brush it makes it effortless and your left with a flawless even coverage.

This foundation brush can be used for other purposes as well such as applying bronzer or blush. It is very versatile. 

Also the bristles stay put which is a big plus for me because I do not like looking in the mirror after applying my makeup and seeing all these little hairs everywhere. You know you have a good quality brush when you have little to no shedding. I didn't notice any with this brush.



I am pretty impressed. A girl can never have too many brushes. I've been racking them up lately. This one definitely is a top favorite of all my brushes. 

If you would like to learn more about this brush or other products by Yalmeh you can check out their website here. This product is also available on Amazon for purchase. It is currently selling for $11.95.

Professional 12 Set Makeup Brush Kit by Petunia Skincare

#makeupbrushes

I am so excited to talk about this makeup brush kit today. It is a 12 set brush kit by Petunia Skincare.

You can imagine how exstatic I was when I got the opportunity to try this out for free. I love anything makeup and I was actually in the market for a good set of brushes.

This particular set come with 12 tools. They include the following:

• Spoolie Brush
• Lip Brush
• Sponge Applicator
• Eyeliner Brush
• Eyebrow Brush
• Concealer Brush
• Fan Brush
• Smudge Brush
• Eyeshadow Brush
• Foundation Brush
• Blush Brush 
• Powder Brush

This set contains everything you need for most makeup routines. Not every makeup brush kit contains quality brushes as I have found out in the past. In order to achieve your look effortlessly a good makeup brush kit is a necessity.

I am very impressed with this kit. The brushes are very professional looking and made very well. The bristles are soft and range from synthetic to goat and pony hair. I really like the brushes made from natural hair. I have found these to be the most soft and durable.

I noticed very little shedding with these brushes. I would suggest washing the brushes with a good quality shampoo before using. I think this not only cleans the brushes and preps them but helps reduce the shedding you might see during their first use. 

This kit comes with a pamphlet that tells you what each of the brushes are and their uses. I'm not going to go into all the details here or this post would be super long. What I mainly want to focus on is whether or not this makeup brush kit is worth buying.

I am no makeup artists and to be honest up until I got this kit I didn't fully understand the need for so many different brushes. But they come in handy I assure you. I watch a lot of makeup tutorials on YouTube and they are always using these different brushes for various things and techniques.In order to achieve the look successfully you need good quality brushes and I believe that's what I've found here with this kit.

I especially love the smudge brush. Before I would just apply my eyeshadow with any old brush and the look was more harsh but after using this smudge brush, the look is more blended and natural.

This kit also comes with a fold up pouch which would be great for travel! It also comes with brush guards that help's the bristles maintain their shape.

Professional Auto Rotating Curling Iron by XTAVA

#rotatecurl

I am so excited about this rotating curling iron by XTAVA. I am so thankful that I got to try it out. This is by far the coolest curling iron I've ever used.

This curling iron features the following:

• Auto rotating ceramic tourmaline barrel
• Heat control
• 360 swivel 8ft cord
• Shut off function
• Travel friendly

Curling your hair can be such a pain especially using the traditional type curling iron where you have to twist it up yourself. I don't know about you but my hand get's tired after a while doing it that way. Also, most curling irons only have three heat settings, low, medium and high. It's hard to really tell what kind of heat level your subjecting your hair to. With the auto rotating curling iron by XTAVA you can set it to a level that is right for your hair, whether it's fine, thick or wavy. It's got 11 temperature stages between 210F-430F.

I really appreciate the auto rotation feature because it makes curling your hair a breeze. All you do is clip your hair, push a button and it rotates and twists your hair for you. I have carpal tunnel in my hands so I really like this feature. My hands tend to hurt and go numb when I'm doing my hair with the constant bending and straining my wrists. With this curling iron you don't have to do any of that because it does it for you. How cool is that?

The cord is really nice too! It's super long and it swivels so you don't have to worry about getting all tangled and twisted up in it. It's makes it especially nice for someone who moves around a lot.

The shut off function is also a key feature that I like because to be honest I'm very forgetful. I'm the kind of person that leaves the house only to come back and realize I've left my oven on or some other fire hazard type thing. This curling iron will actually shut itself off when it's left unattended.

I have to say, I am very impressed with XTAVA and their products. This is the second one I've tried and both products met my expectations and more!

If your looking for superior styling tools look no further. Check out XTAVA's website here to see all the other amazing styling tools they have available. Also if you look at their website you will find that they will be introducing other lines as well such as face, eyes, lips and nails. I am so excited about this!

This product is also available on Amazon for $45.00. Check it out!

Seaweed Complex Lotion by Foxbrim

#foxbrim

I got the opportunity to try this Seaweed Complex Lotion recently. I was very interested in it because of the ingredients. It contains Blue Green Algae, Hyaluronic Acid and Ocean Minerals.

Who knew that the secret to youth was in the ocean? That's pretty neat! This product originally was for me to try out but when I got it and tried it for the first time I realized that this product had a very masculine smell to it. It smells like something a man would wear. With that being said, I let my husband have it because he could really benefit from it.

My husband liked the smell of it and I helped him apply it and he really liked the way it made his skin feel. Men need moisturizing too! My husband doesn't really take a lot of time to really think about his skin needs especially for his face. I've been trying to help him incorporate skincare products into his routine and this seaweed complex lotion is a great one to start with.

Since it's very gentle and contains natural ingredients I think this would be a great product to use after shaving to help the skin stay soft and supple. But not only do you get the moisturizing benefits, you also get the anti-aging benefits as well.

If you are looking for a great moisturizer that will leave your skin feeling soft without greasy feel, give this lotion by Foxbrim a try.


If you would like to learn more about it or purchase for yourself or as a gift you can do that here. Foxbrim also has their own website so you can take a look at all the other amazing products they have available.

Baby Wrap by Baby More Co.

#babymorecobabywrap

I had the opportunity recently to try a baby wrap by the Baby More Co. I was very eager to try this because I have never tried one before and have always wanted to.

My youngest child is 10 months old and he loves to be held. He always wants to be close to momma. I loved the idea of the baby wrap because I would be able to keep my baby close and still be mobile.

I was really surprised to find that the baby wrap was just a big piece of fabric but it was stretchy. It also comes in 3 different colors: blue, black and pink.

The material seemed durable and soft. The baby wrap came with picture instructions on how to do the wrap successfully. Although the instructions were easy to follow I was not able to get the wrap to work for me. There was not enough material to wrap it around me thoroughly. I am a bit on the heavier side and since this product said "adjustable to all sizes" I figured it would work for me. However, I was trying to do the wrap myself which was very difficult. I think if I would have had someone to help me wrap it around myself more securely I would have had that extra bit of material to do the last steps in the instructions.

Even though this product didn't work for me, I still think it has potential especially if you have someone to help you. If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing it for yourself it is available on Amazon for $35.20. The company offers a 200% guarantee so if your not satisfied they will refund you the money and send you another wrap. That's a pretty good deal!

Reach it Grab it by Calibre Products Ltd

#ReachitGrabit

To say this product has made my life easier is an understatement! There is nothing more aggravating than not being able to reach something. So many times I've had to ask for help or drag out a stool to get things out of my reach. Not only is it time consuming but it's exhausting as well.

My new Reach it Grab it tool by Calibre Products Ltd has truely been a life saver. I keep it in my kitchen and when I need something from up high in my cabinets, I just grab it and get it. No more stretching, knocking things over or dragging out bulky stools or steps.

So far this Reach it Grab it tool has worked amazingly. It's light but strong. It's not flimsy and seems to be made very well. I love the ergonomic handle and grip because it makes it so comfortable to use. I also like that it has a grip on the pincher part which helps ensure a strong hold on the item you are picking up.

This is also a great tool for picking up around the house. I have kids so my house get's pretty messy with toys all over the place. My husband is disabled and this tool enables him to pick up things around the house without stooping over and hurting his back. I use it also. I don't have a bad back but who want's to have to bend over? I know I don't.You can also use it for picking up around the yard!

This is the perfect tool for the young and old. It will make your life so much more simpler and make picking up or reaching things quick and easy.

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchasing it for yourself you can find it here. You can purchase it for $23.88.

1500W Tourmaline Ionic Ceramic Professional Hair Dryer by XTAVA

#bluerimini

 When it comes to hair dryers, I never can find one that really meets my expectations, until I tried the RIMINI 1500W Iconic Hair Dryer.

It's features include:

• 1500 Watt
• DC motor
• 2 Speeds & 3 Heat Settings
• Concentrator Nozzle
• Cool Shot Button

It has everything I would ever need in a hair dryer. It's sleek and professional looking and offers all the features I need to get my hair dry and styled effortlessly.



I love the speed and heat setting because it gives me options as to how I want to style my hair. Some days I might not want to blow dry it on a high heat or high speed in order to reduce damage to my hair. The cool setting is great too because after I dry my hair I use the cool setting to help set my style and seal the hair cuticle leaving it looking smooth and silky.

I especially love it's ergonomically angled handle. I have carpal tunnel in my hands and every time I blow dry and style my hair, my hands start hurting and my fingers go numb. I usually have to take little breaks so that I can finish my hair without much pain. But since this dryer is light weight and angled it allows me to dry and style my hair more comfortably and all at one time.

The cord is especially long as well which I like. It allows me to move around instead of being confined to one small area. I also like the fact that it comes with a concentrator nozzle which allows me to direct the heat to a specific targeted area. It also fits on the blow dryer very snug which is a big plus for me considering that the one on my old hair dryer would fall off every time I would bump it with my hair brush. Having to stoop over and pick that thing up several times during styling was a huge pain.

I have super thick hair and this hair dryer is powerful enough to get my hair dry quickly. This is a huge factor in whether or not I continue using a blow dryer. Who wants to stand for 30+ continuous minutes drying your hair? Not me! I like to get it done as quickly as possible especially in the summer time when it's hot. Phew!

If you would like to learn more about this hair dryer or other products by xtava you can visit their website here. This product is also available for purchase on Amazon for $29.00. Such as great deal for such a wonderful product! Check it out.

Discover what's new! Campbell's Sampling

Over the last couple of months I have been sampling some new Campbell's products that were provided for me through Crowdtap. If your not familiar with Crowdtap, I encourage you to check it out. It is pretty cool! You get to sample products, share your opinions and earn rewards!

I was very excited about this sampling opportunity because Campbell's is a brand that I know and trust. I love their products and I'm always willing to try something new.

Here is what came in my sampling kit:

#DiscoverCampbells #CampbellsTasters #sponsored

• A variety of new Campbell’s® products including (but not limited to) Soups for Easy Cooking, Campbell’s® Latin Inspired Soups, Campbell’s® Skillet Sauces, Prego® Alfredo sauce, and Swanson Cream Starter™ Broths
• Spoon
• Cutting Board
• Tote
• Shaker
• Recipe Booklet with Coupons
• 1 set of Sampling Instructions 

I have to say, I was pretty thrilled with the amount of products I received.

Here are my thought's on the products:

Cambell's Skillet Sauces (Creamy Parmesan Chicken): This sauce was very tasty. I made some penne pasta, cut up some bell peppers and chunks of chicken breast and added the sauce. It was super easy and made a very delicious meal!

Cambell's Slow Kettle Style (Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup): This was another tasty one! I love chicken noodle soup but I like it to be hearty with lost of veggies and noodles. This soup had just enough of everything and the flavors were so nicely blended and savory. I loved how tender the carrots were as well as the chicken. This is definitely the perfect soup on a cold day! 

Swanson Cream Starter (traditional): I used this to make a yummy pot of creamy potato soup. Usually when I make potato soup I make my own cream stock to put in it. I liked the fact that this one was already prepared and ready to go. It saved me a lot of time and provided the perfect amount of creaminess to my soup.

Cambell's Chunky(Beer-n-Cheese with Beef & Bacon): So this one was definitely my least favorite of all the products I tried. The reason being is a combination of taste and texture of the soup. When I opened the can it had very off smell which I assume was the beer flavor. The taste was lacking and the contents were not cooked enough in my opinion. I poured it over a baked potato as was suggested and it was very bland. I felt as though I needed to add something extra to really pump up the flavor.

Prego Light (Home-style Alfredo): This made a pretty tasty chicken Alfredo. I used some fettuccine noodles, diced up chicken and added the Alfredo sauce. I loved it! Even though it was a lighter version, I couldn't really tell. It was very creamy and savory.

Campbell's Spaghettio's Micro's: I let my husband try these because I'm not all that crazy about spaghettio's, of course he loved them. But what I like about this particular product is that it's convenient and great for snack time for the kiddo's. You just pop it in the microwave and eat it right out of the package. Easy peasy!

My kit also contained two other food products, the Campbell's Creamy Pablano & Queso and the Campbell's Soups for easy cooking (Savory Portobella Mushroom). I haven't had a chance to try these two things but I'm sure they are going to be tasty!

I really love the cutting board and spoon that came with my kit. I use them frequently!

As you can see, being a Crowdtap member definitely has it's benefits. I love being able to try amazing products. I hope you enjoyed reading about my sampling experience with Campbell's products!

Mega Mesh Magnetic Screen Door by Easy Install

 I got the opportunity to try another magnetic screen door. This time by Easy Install. I love these things! I don't have much use for it right now with it being winter and all but this summer it will surely come in handy.

I found this one to be superior because not only is it made well but it fit my door so much better than previous ones I've tried.

This particular screen measures 36"x83" and fits doors up to 34"x82.
Here are some things you can expect from this screen (as provided by the company):
Mega Quality
- Strong magnets sewn in, to provide seamless automatic closure
- Reinforced edges for strength
- High performance Velcro and tacks included to keep the mesh up
- Micro mesh keeps the smallest bugs out
- Easy install bug screens have been developed to stay up and withstand heavy traffic

 Mega Benefits
- Magnetic hands free entry
- Pet friendly access
- The low-cost way to economically cool your home
- Protection for your family from invading insects
- Easy installation with install video tutorial

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the ease of use and quality of this screen. It also comes with everything you need as seen in the picture on the right. I love that it comes with pre-measured strips! It's made very well and does not feel as though it can easily be torn. This is a good thing because I have small children who will go in and out frequently so I need something that is going to withstand a lot of traffic. I believe that this screen door will be able to do that!

I'm looking forward to summer more than ever. This screen door is going to help me save a lot of money on my electric bill and help me keep cool.

If you are interested in learning more about this product or purchase it for yourself you can do so on Amazon. It's currently available for $27.95. You can also find additional information and installation instructions here.
