Maybelline Better Skin Powder

I've been using the Maybelline Better Skin powder in the color "Classic Ivory" for almost a week. The first thing I noticed was that it looks WAY darker on the sponge, but don't let that deter you, it'll be okay. The color worked out very well. Coverage! It covers much better than any powder I've ever used. It covers as well as liquid and the finish isn't cakey or weird looking at all. Staying power: I found that it does wear off of my nose after a few hours and does need touching up, but DOES stay well on my cheeks. It works well with all of my powder products on, without wiping the product off. Another downfall: I suddenly am having horrendous breakouts! In places I've never had breakouts. I suppose it COULD be a coincidence, but I'm tempted to think that I'm having trouble with the product itself. I'm going to give my skin a break and try again before I make up my mind completely. I might try wearing it not every single day, maybe every other day. It's kind of a let down because the fact that I can wear powder instead of liquid foundation was really exciting, and for the most part, it did a good job. 


I received this product complimentary from Influenster and Maybelline for reviewing purposes, but all opinions are my own.

Batgirl At Super Hero High (DC Super Hero Girls) Review

I got this in audio book form and it written by Lisa Yee and read to us by Mae Whitman. For starters, Mae Whitman did a phenomenal job reading this book. She was perfect. The book itself, I had a bit of trouble getting into the story at first, only because my children were definitely too young for it (3 year-old girl and 8 year-old boy) and I was trying to answer a lot of their questions. The story itself was very uplifting and I think would be a wonderful book for younger girls. Learning that being unique isn't bad. I think it addresses a lot of issues that girls are faced with in a positive way. I will be hanging onto this book, because I'm sure it will be loved. **I received this book free for reviewing purposes, however all opinions are my own.

Ole-Ida Tater Tots

I received a coupon for a FREE bag of Ole-Ida Tater Tots in my JingleVoxBox from Influenster to review. I'm not usually a huge tater tot fan, but I figured I could come up with a way to use them, even if it was just a snack for my kids or husband. I don't usually like tater tots because I think they always come out soggy. Usually they have a texture that I just don't like, so I really wasn't excited about this. However, I picked up a bag, handed the cashier the coupon and walked out with my free tots. A day or so later, we (my husband and I) were craving breakfast sandwiches. So we got the eggs, and some sausage, and started cooking. We decided to try them as a breakfast food. My husband cooked them with a little bit of oil, (horrible for you I know, but sometimes I just don't give a hoot), and they were great! Everybody liked them, they weren't soggy, they had a great flavor and I would definitely eat them again. I think I may have unfairly judged them based on...

Think Happy By Karen Salmansohn Review

Image
I read "Think Happy, Instant Peptalks to Boost Positivity" By Karen Salmansohn. I'm on a new spiritual mission in my life to be more positive and try to bring more harmony and positivity into my life, so this seemed like a great choice for me. I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to being positive and changing the way you think so you can have a happier life. Now onto the book! This book is broken down into different sections, so that you can assess the situation and decide which section you need at that very moment. It has very nice illustrations and detailed explanations of why the author is giving the advice she's giving. My personal opinion is the book was very cutsey, which was not what I was looking for. I'm a practical person, and I like practical advice. She's giving good advice, but I'm not crazy about the way that it's delivered."No matter how awesome you are, you won't be everyone's cup of tea- but no worries. You'...
