Reviews



I just have to start this by saying that I absolutely love everything Laura Geller!  Our MiMi bought this from none other than QVC(we love QVC) and gave it to me to try and oh my goodness it is amazing!  The Spackle is an under makeup primer and it really does wonders in color correcting my skin.  It came in a 2oz. bottle.  Next there is Baked Blush N Brighten in Pink Buttercream and oh my how I love this beautiful pink blush, it is such a soft pink and is just the right amount of glow.  Last, there is the Color Drenched Lip Gloss in French Press Rose and it really is one of the best lip glosses I have ever tried!  This lip gloss smells so good and it is not sticky at all, it stays on for hours!  This really is a great kit and I cannot say enough how much I love everything Laura Geller!!! 





    We have been eating our Bear Naked Layered Granola Bars in Nutty Double Chocolate and Fruit and Nut that we received for free from ChatterBox.  My girls are loving the Nutty Double Chocolate, they love the chocolatey peanut flavor and how these bars keep them full for hours.  I am loving the Fruit and Nut, I love that they are layered with fruit and nuts and then on the bottom there is a layer of chocolate.  These bars are fresh and filling.  I am so glad I finally got a ChatterBox and even more glad that it was Bear Naked Granola Bars!



    This is the Laura Geller Bella Vita 8-Piece Set that my aunt got for me from QVC.

     I wanted to do a review on this because I wanted to tell everyone just how much I am loving it.  Laura Geller's baked set includes her Balance N Bright which mine is in medium and honestly this covers way better than I thought it would, I didn't think anything could compare to It Celebration Foundation! Balance N Bright is weightless, I can't feel anything on my face and it does not look cakey in any way!  Next, there is the Baked Gelato Lace Illuminator in Ballerina and the brush comes with it and I just sweep it all over my face for a light glow, it really doesn't take a lot of this, it is perfect, no glitter or anything like that it just gives such a great glow!  The eyeshadow that comes in this is Baked Eclipse Eyeshadow Duo in Moonlight/Aubergine and I have to say that I have a lot of eyeshadow but this is by far my favorite, it goes on seamlessly, I put the Moonlight on all over my lids and then I put a little Aubergine in the creases and on my lower lash line and it is perfect!  It also comes with the dual ended eyeshadow brush.  StyleLASH Lengthening Mascara in Black is effortless, the brush is perfect, I rarely say perfect when it comes to mascara because me and mascara just don't get a long most of the time, but this is truly perfect!  The wand is the perfect size and I only have to apply once!  INKcredible Waterproof Gel Eyeliner Pencil in Blackbird is another product that is in this set and it glides on and stays on! Color Brilliance Lustrous Lipstick in Kiss is the last product in this collection and this color is a deep pink that I love because it actually looks good on me and it wears very well!!   All of these products come in a beautiful hat box, well a little smaller than a hat box but it is beautiful and I have put a lot of my makeup in it.  I am putting a link to QVC so you can take a look at everything for yourself!  Happy makeuping!!


    I have to start this by saying that my girls and I are so ready and excited for the fall, so we had to make a stop in Bath & Body Works yesterday to scope out all of their fall smells!!  They were stocked up and I had my coupons, so we were ready to shop.  The biggest reason we went is because they were having their 3-wick candle in Pumpkin Pecan Waffles for $10 and I just couldn't pass that up, plus I had my $10 off $30 coupon.  I am not sure exactly how long this sale is going on because I asked and they said they weren't sure exactly how long these would be $10 but I suggest you go get this candle.  This candle is truly fall, we lit it as soon as we got home and started school yesterday and within five minutes it had our entire downstairs and some of the upstairs smelling like fall.  To us it smells like fall air, you know that fall air when the leaves are turning all of their beautiful fall colors, the air is getting just a bit lighter, pumpkins and bales of hay are everywhere, pumpkin and pecan pies are baking and the pumpkin patches are opening!!!  Yes, I absolutely love fall, it is my favorite time of the year!!  So next, the girls picked out four of the small candles and they are most excited about lighting Trick or Treat, it is just so cute!  They also got Pumpkin Swirl, Pumpkin Latte and Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin, you just can't go wrong with any of these smells!  They picked out four and got one of those for free because of one of my other coupons and last we picked out the triple moisture body cream in Pumpkin Latte & Marshmallow, now this smelled so good in the store but it is a bit too perfumey for us (yes, I know perfumey is not a word but that's all I got) it smells great if you like a more fall perfume smell but just not for us, we all said we should have just stuck to Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin but we are going to take it back and swap it this weekend while we are out!!  This was just a mini haul, I try not to go to Bath & Body Works too much because it's just not a necessity but every once in awhile it's just so much fun to go in there with my girls because they love it just as much as I do, fall and Christmas are the only times we typically go.  So, our total for all of these candles and our body cream was just $30, oh and I don't think I mentioned that we got the body cream for free as well, I just love coupons and as I always say "free is for me"!!!!  ~Blessings~

     

     Moms' Night Out





     My friends and I went to see this movie and I have to say that it was funny, heartwarming and  refreshing.  I have to warn you though, if  you want to see a movie that has wives cheating on their husbands, dressed inappropriately, doing drugs/drinking or even "clubbing" then this movie is definitely not for you!  I was completely happy to see these Mom's in a christian light, thank you Erwin brothers for making a movie that  Mom's can have a "Mom's Night Out" and go see without compromising their beliefs!! Now, I want to tell you a little bit about the storyline.  Three Mom's just want to have a much needed night out together, with adult conversation and dinner.  It doesn't quite turn out like that for them, they find themselves trying to help a family member and it turns into a hilarious chase around town!!  By the way, most of this movie was made right here in Birmingham, Alabama, which my friends and I loved seeing our city on the big screen(just wish we would have known at the time they were filming so we could have been extras):'(  Anyways, as you can tell I highly recommend this movie to you and all your friends, as soon as it hits on DVD, I will be buying it!! ~ Blessings to you all~

    Clarus Tritan Unbreakable Plastic 15oz. Coffee Cup set of 4

    I just have to review these coffee mugs that my aunt got for me.  These are made in the USA, nonbreakable and dishwasher safe.  I have been using these coffee mugs for about a month now and they are exactly what they say, nonbreakable, dishwasher safe, but not only that, they actually keep my coffee warm.  I drink my coffee like a dessert meaning I use a lot of creamer and refrigerated creamer at that and typically after I put all of that creamer in my coffee it is cold but that's not the case with these mugs, after I put all of my creamer in my coffee using this mug it is still warm the entire time I am drinking my coffee!!  To me that is a big deal!!  A set of four of these mugs costs $24 on Amazon.com and that is a great deal for these!!! 

    My daughters and I finally used our Ninja last night and it is amazing!  We made fresh mango and strawberry layered popsicles and we absolutely loved that with this particular set we could have the strawberry mixture in one blender and the mango mixture in another.  The Ninja not only blends but it also can act as a food processor, which I love.  When you press on the top of the Ninja you can control how much you want your food chopped, we had to puree our fruit and the Ninja made it very easy!!  I have to say that my daughters and I give the Ninja an A+!!!
    I have been using it Cosmetics Vitality Butter Lip Gloss in Pretty in Pink for the last few days and of course I love it!!!  I love lip gloss, I'm kind of a lip gloss connoisseur if you will:)  This gloss packs a whole lot of color in it and every time I use it, it stays on for hours.  Some lip glosses are sticky and thick but this one feels smooth, buttery and moisturizing, it really lives up to its name "Vitality Butter"!!  If you try this lip gloss or any of it Cosmetics I would love to hear about it!!! 

    I have been using the Celebration Foundation by it Cosmetics in the shade Medium Beige for a few weeks now and I honestly love it!   This particular foundation is powder but it is full coverage and you can build on it if you need to, it goes on effortlessly and it really is full coverage.  I have some discoloration and this covers that so well!  One of the great things about it Cosmetics is that it is animal cruelty free and they also work closely with plastic surgeons to create their products.  I love everything about it Cosmetics, they are a company that I trust and I can't say that about many companies!  I hope you will try it Cosmetics!  Visit www.itcosmetics.com to check out this innovative brand of cosmetics for yourself!

    This is the it Cosmetics mascara and I cannot say enough great things about this mascara!  I love mascara and I have tons of different ones but this one is completely different from any other  that I have ever used before, it has a lash ball detailer that I use to get the look of longer lashes.  This mascara wears all day without becoming flaky, and it really wears all day without coming off!  It is a 5-in-1 mascara which means it is a volumizing mascara with lash tint, lash enhancing serum, conditioning and it has a primer as well.  The brush on this does its job separating lashes perfectly!   This mascara is my my #1 pick and it is well worth the money!!

    I am in no way under any obligation to give a positive review for it Cosmetics, I just honestly love all of the products that I have tried from this company!!

    I am so happy to be able to review IT Cosmetics lip liner in blushing nude.  It goes on easy and so smooth.  I can't speak about lipstick because I only wear lip gloss but I do know that this color lip liner looks great with all of my lip glosses and it stays on for hours!  I hope you will try it and love it as much as I do!  Like I always say, I love IT Cosmetics!
