St. Ives Live Radiantly

I was recently given the opportunity to test out a few St. Ives products via Influenster. 

I've incredibly thankful for these products. They couldn't have come at a better time with this nasty cold drying out my skin! So impressed with the quality of these products. I will definitely be purchasing them all again!

Live Radiantly! 

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from St. Ives products  via Influenster.

Pampers Cruisers

I was recently given the opportunity to test out Pampers Cruisers diapers via Influenster. 

We have recently switched to cloth diapers, but are still using disposables at night! Pampers Cruisers are the only diapers we will use in this house! We never have issues with leaks, or blow outs for that matter. 

They've recently revamped their diapers to prevent less sag! Hence the term SagToSwag... you all know what I'm talking about too! Even the slightest pee with make diapers sag but not with Pampers new extra absorbent channels. 

If you are going to be using disposables I highly recommend the new Pampers cruisers. You will not be disappointed!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

I was recently given the opportunity to test out Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Mouse Foundation thanks to Influenster.

Let me just start out by saying I HAVE THE WORST LUCK PICKING OUT FOUNDATION! I am a twenty-seven year old woman who still walks around with  horrid foundation lines on her face because I can never find the right shade for me. Also I hate the feel of thick, non breathable foundation so I tend to stick with powder...until NOW!

Rimmel's Stay Matte foundation blends in perfectly, and its so thin you can hardly even feel it on your face! My husband actually complemented the brand the other night saying I didn't look like a ghost ...  the picture above I am also wearing the new Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara.

Rimmel London is bringing you new Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation - a breakthrough feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture that’s comfortable on your skin, never heavy or greasy. Your new beauty staple delivers all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish, all while minimizing the appearance of pores.

Dr. Scholl's for Her High Heel Insoles

I was recently given the opportunity to test out Dr Scholl's for Her high heel insoles via Influenster. 

I enjoy wearing high heels but they do become really painful at the end of the night and make you question why on Earth you would do that to yourself! After trying out the insoles, I honestly felt like I was walking on clouds. 

Dr. Scholl s® For Her High Heel Insoles Helps prevent & reduce foot pain. Unique gel arch helps shift the pressure off your ball-of-foot area Guaranteed all-day comfort Slim-fitting design won t make your shoes feel too tight or crowd toes Massaging gel waves Clear gel provides provides discreet cushioning, even in your strappy heels.

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Dr Scholl's for Her  via Influenster.  

SinfulShine w. Gel Tech Nail Color

I was recently given the opportunity to test out  SinfulShine w. Gel Tech Nail Color in VIP via Influenster. I've never been one to really get into nail polish because it never seemed to last and would always chip off my nails. But after trying this product I am in love with the little touches of color I now have on my nails.

My hands are constantly in water from either doing the dishes, to washing laundry, giving the kids baths or even at work so nail polish doesn't stand a chance with me. I was incredibly surprised with the quality of this product, and just how long it truly did last.

 

With the with Gel Tech™ technology provides opulent rich color and superb shine. Actually, 5x the shine of a patent leather shoe*! The 32 trend right shades are available for a limited time exclusively at Walgreens.

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from SinfulShine  via Influenster.  

Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics

I was recently given the opportunity to test out Goody's Ouchless Ribbon Elastics via Influenster. I really do enjoy these hair ties, and since I am constantly losing mine they sure came in handy.

The look of these bands are not of the "regular" hair ties. They have this unique knot at the end of them, and when you wear them on your wrist most people don't realize what exactly they are. So, they not only look great in your hair but also style up your wrist as well! ;)

The sock bun is my personal favorite go-to summer updo! And with my thick hair these work perfectly to keep everything in place.

You can find Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics at most retail stores including Walmart and target, as well as major drugstores.

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Goody  via Influenster. 

Olay Fresh Effects

I recently was selected to test out Olays Fresh Effects BB Cream via Influenster!

I have been eye balling it for awhile, & keep hearing all these other ladies who have tried it and absolutely fell in love! Well, now I am one of them! I have an extremely uneven skin tone, and to tell you the truth it is pretty embarrassing to not wear any type of cover up. But in the summer, it is to hot to be covering & clogging my pores with concealer!

 

 

After testing out the BB Cream, my complexion is evened out  and the product has made my face so soft! Its a very thin breathable product so it doesn't feel cakey on your skin. 

'Models get airbrushed. You get real. Get a fresh and flawless complexion from five skin-perfecting benefits, plus SPF 15. Say bye-bye to blotches and imperfections and hello to 24-hour hydration with a splash of sheer color coverage—instantly.'

Go on, get flawless! You can find Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream at most retail stores including Walmart and Target, as well as any major drugstore.

Dino Lingo

It's real hard bouncing from mom, to wife, to educator, cook, housekeeper - lets face it the list goes ON and ON! Our district is incredibly strict when it comes to education here, and I often find myself terrified my kids will fall behind! Not because they aren't incredibly smart, but because they aren't really able to be kids anymore. I mean lefts face it, kindergarten isn't all about naptime and snacking all day! 

I was recently sent a wonderful learning dvd from Dino Lingo thanks to Influenster in my Mom Voxbox recently! My kids were so incredibly happy to sit (which doesn't happen often) and watch this video...they didn't know it was an educational video - they just thought it was fun! Kudos to you Dino Lingo...because when it comes to "learning" the word school just makes it that much difficult to pay attention.

I highly recommend these videos - prevent your child from being another statistic and not being a child that is left behind! From the ease of DVD's to flashcards they will be learning in a jiffy.

Head on over to www.dinolingo.com and pick yourself up the whole set for $99.95!

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Dino Lingo via Influenster. 

The Many Uses of Ivory

I don't know about you, but I can remember Ivory Bar Soap being in my life since I was a child. It seems like it is a staple in most American households...from the simple of taste of taking a bath, getting a facial, washing laundry, and crafting projects Ivory is used everyday!

I was sent a bar recently via Influenster in my Mom Voxbox! I personally love it and can't get enough... I mainly like using it on my face because I don't have to worry about it irritating my skin! There's enough to worry about now-a-days that my soap of choice is on the last of my list... I've also never hesitated using it on my children for that very same reason!

You can find Ivory at most retail stores including Walmart and Target, as well as any major grocery store or drugstore. For the very reasonable price of $4.49 for a ten pack of bar soap. (can't beat that right?)

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Ivory via Influenster. 

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie

I was recently sent a mommy voxbox from the ooh so wonderful Influenster and inside I found one the most amazing oatmeal cookie inside! Quaker now makes a soft bakes oatmeal cookie and its absolutely to die for...

The cookie is made with whole grain Quaker oats and only contains 6 grams of fat per serving. I love that they are individually wrapped as well...makes it easier for temptation I guess you could say! When you know there is only one in the package you won't be tempted for another right?

You can find Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies at most major retailers.

Suggested retail price: $2.69 for a box of 6 cookies

I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Quaker  via Influenster. 

My Colgate-Palmolive Gift Basket

Back in April I was selected to receive the Palmolive Fresh Sponge Dishwashing kit thanks to Influenster. I was incredibly impressed with the product therefor I wrote a blog about my experience. You can read it here if you'd like ;)

Well I guess they were impressed with my blog because I was the Palmolive Fresh Sponge brand challenge winner! Today I received my prize in the mail, what an impressive gift basket it is! Inside I found a box of Colgate Optic White toothpaste, a two pack of juicy pomegranate & mango infusion softsoap, pampered hands tangerine treat softsoap foaming hand soap and last but not least a green palmolive pot holder!

Impressive line up right?! Thank you so much Influenster for choosing me as a winner... I will continue to enjoy my Palmolive products for quite sometime :)

Ball of foot by Dr Scholl's for her

I was recently gifted a package of Dr. Scholl's for her Ball Of Foot cushions from my sister (nijirawr). She received them in her complimentary beauty voxbox from Influenster. My sister is not a F-A-N,  in fact that is the incorrect word for how much she loathes high heels. She knows I own a pair or ... two and decided to let me try them out!

The higher the better I say, especially when you are married to the Jolly Green Giant! But after walking around and enjoying yourself your feet start to ache something awful...when your feet are sore it just ruins your entire day! Since we are creatures who transport by foot,  it is extremely important to be comfortable right?!

The ball of foot cushions prevent toe scrunching, which in turn keeps your feet in place! This is the only ball of foot product which is made with unique FabuSTEP gel. Let me tell you something, it is extremely cushiony (is that even a word lol!?)! I absolutely adore these, I also was incredibly happy with how easy the application was. You just peal the sticker off the cushion and insert it into your shoes... can't get much easier right?

Who wouldn't love a little foot massage every time you step foot into your sky high heels? Dr. Scholl's hit it directly on the head with this one! I am a huge fan, and plan on never wearing a pair of heels without them.

Because "feel the burn" wasn't meant to describe the ball of your foot! You can pick up your very own at the following stores : Walmart, Target, Walgreens and many more! You can also visit www.drscholls.com to take a sneak peak at some of their other products. While you are there print out the coupon and head to the store ;)


I was given this product complimentary for testing purposes from Dr. Scholl's foot care via Influenster.

Palmolive Fresh Sponge Dishwashing Kit

Recently, I was carefully selected among thousands of Mom Influensters to test out this complimentary product from Palmolive. When you hear the brand Palmolive what is the first thing that springs to your mind? To mine, it is effectiveness! I am a l-o-y-a-l Palmolive dish soap user... in fact I buy the big jug from Costco. Absolutely love it... so when Influenster sent over an email asking if I would like to try their new Fresh Sponge product you can imagine how overjoyed I was!

I don't think I could name one person who enjoys a stinky sponge... right? In fact, I try to avoid that as much as possible. Palmolive's Fresh Sponge dishwashing detergent does as it says... the dual action formula is designed to wash away odor causing residue from your sponge and clean dishes to a sparkling shine. Lets not forget it leaves your hands feeling amazingly refreshed!

I was also asked to share the five coupons with friends who would like to try this awesome new product from Palmolive. Not many of my local friends are into 'couponing' so I threw a few coupons in envelopes and mailed to my friends that are. Who wouldn't want to add Palmolive's new Fresh Sponge to their stockpile?

If you are interested in locating Palmolive Fresh Sponge dishwashing liquid near you, you could find it in most grocery stores and mass retailers like Walmart & Target. The 25oz  bottle of Fresh Sponge sells for $3.29. Happy dishwashing ;)

Montagne Jeunesse

Sometimes I find it a bit tough to find time just for myself now that I started working again! It's very important to not always be in mommy mode though... I find it peaceful to sit in the bathroom with a glass of chilled moscato and a Montagne Jeunesse facial mask reading the latest cosmo magazine. That's my favorite M-E time...












I recently received a complimentary juiced cucumber peel off masque from Montagne Jeunesse out of my holiday voxbox thanks to influenster.com. I remember using these as a kid with my mom, and now I can do the same with my daughter! I hope one day she will be able to say the same...

Montagne Jeunesse beauty treats are free of parabens, vegetarian approved and never tested on animals. You can find these products at ULTA Beauty, Walgreen’s, Claire’s, Walmart, Kroger, CVS and many others across the U.S. Also head on over to their website (http://www.montagnejeunesse.com) for a list of all their succulent flavors.

 

imPRESS Press-on Manicure

I've said it before and I will say it again... being a working mother of two I absolutely DO NOT have time to sit down and paint my nails! I recently received a complimentary pack of hot pink zebra press on manicure nails from imPRESS from my holiday voxbox thanks to influenster.com!

First of all I am an animal print lover, and then you add the hot pink and you are good to go! Ha... my daughter is now wanting me to head out to the store to purchase her some! Dealing with all of that holiday returns and parking lot disasters... I think it will have to wait! ;)

For $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns you can purchase the imPRESS manicure set at CVS, Rite Aid, Kmart, Walmart and more. For a full list of online and in-store retailers head on over to imPressManicure.com where you can download yourself an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the colors and patterns.

NYC New York Color

I just received a complimentary tube of liquid lipshine from NYC New York Color in my holiday voxbox thanks to influenster.com! I am going to be frank - I usually am not a fan of anything with color on my lips. The fact being because most lipglosses or color is sticky... I've got long hair, mix that with a bit of wind and your hair will end up on your lips in NO time!

Liquid Shine lives up to its "Brilliant Lipgloss, Non Sticky" name! I am in love... if I can keep it out of my four year old daughters hands I will consider myself lucky! For $2.49 a tube you can snag yourself all 10 shades... this lipgloss not only comes with a 3-D affect its also loaded with vitamin e for a moisturizing shiny feel.

Start shopping for NYC at the stores nearest you :: Walmart, Target, CVS, Kmart and others! You can also visit www.newyorkcolor.com to check out all the other shades online.
