I LOVE One Direction and was so excited to get to try out their make-up line. I was sent three tins with different guys on each one but the make-up is all the same in each tin. The only difference is the inside covers have different doodles and images and are each sporting the band members name. Each of the eye and lip colors are song titles from One Direction! I think that is so cool!

I enjoyed trying out the make-up and my favorite things in the tin were the top row of eye shadows and the glittery lip top coat. Everything was so simple and easy to apply and blend. Perfect for any One Direction fan or young person. I feel it would be best for folks just starting to experiment with make-up and not the more experienced.

I will have some of these wrapped and under the tree as gifts this year because they are just to cool and my girls are gonna love them for sure!

Adovia Sulfur Soap for Acne

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
- Adovia sulfur soap, is highly enriched with minerals and sulfur from the Dead Sea.
- Your skin's natural moisture levels are balanced and optimized with Olive Oil, Dead Sea minerals and Aloe Vera extract.
- Sulfur has Antiseptic, Anti-Fungal and Antibacterial properties
- This soap thoroughly cleanses your face and body and leaves your skin gentle and smooth.
- Our sulfur soap has a 3% sulfur content.

My Thoughts: Like all other Adovia products I have tried, this Sulfur Soap for Acne is amazing. Adovia has awesome products and I haven't found anything yet that I haven't loved. I particularly enjoyed using this because it has almost no smell or scent to it at all. Very minimal if any at all. Don't get me wrong I like scented soaps and body washes ect... but not something I'm going to be using primarily for my face.

It was just a gentle tingly sensation when I used it on my face and it just made my skin feel so soft and cleaner. After several uses I can see a minimalization of some of the redness and it just feels so great!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Playtex Sport Fresh

Product Description: Introducing NEW Playtex® Sport® Fresh Balance™ with Odor Shield™ technology. It’s designed to neutralize odors for ultimate freshness. Combined with a 3600® design for Sport Level Protection®, you can go the distance. Play On®.

These are great! They have a 360 degree design featuring odor shield, flexi fit to quickly stop leaks, and a contured applicator for easy use. I'm loving them because they make you feel so much cleaner and better protected than some of the other brands.

I received this product in my Vitality Voxbox courtesy of Influenster for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Vitality Voxbox

A couple of weeks ago I was so excited to receive my second Voxbox from Influenster! It was the Vitality one and it had some awesome goodies in it! I did an unboxing on Youtube so feel free to check that video out below.

*First Degree Burn Cream ($5.97-$8.99) This helps a great deal on those pesky minor burns. Small enough to fit into purse for emergencies and boy does it come in handy! Great for curling iron disasters or oven mishaps!

*Playtex Sport Fresh Balance ($3.99)- Designed to neutralize odors on and off the playing field. These are made with 360 degree protection designed to conform to your body for maximum protection against leakage. I am pleased they are only lightly scented and very easy to use.

*Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future ($60 an ounce)- None of us wants to appear to age and this product works great on minimizing wrinkles. I enjoyed trying this out and it works pretty good but a bit to pricey for me.

*Pure Leaf Iced Tea - I immediately tossed this in the fridge and slurped it down as soon as it was chilled! This was one of my favorite items in the box! I was lucky enough to get the sweetened one and boy it was so so so good!

*Softlips Cube ($3.49) - I got to try the Pomegranate Blueberry flavor and this was another favorite of mine! I am a chap stick junkie anyhow but I quickly fell in love with this cube and can't wait to try the other flavors! I loved how smooth it goes on and it smells so yummy and you can even taste the blueberry flavor just a bit. Just wanted to eat it up! LOL

*Bikini Ready Energy Gummies ($14.99) - Who doesn't need a boost of energy now a days? 2 gummies are the equivalent to about 1/4 cup of brewed coffee. They taste really good at first but do get a bit blandish if chew for to long.


I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.

eSalon Hair Care

Are you one of the brave souls like me who have tried boxed hair dyes? How often have they ever came out in the way you had hoped or anticipated? Mine hardly ever does despite the many brands and color options I have tried over the years. A few times I can honestly say I was quite impressed with my end result but there were usually more hair horror stories than anything one time resulting in bright Orange hair! Boy was I upset! I was NOT a happy camper! The things we put ourself thru just to keep the gray covered. LOL

I recently was able to try eSalon hair coloring products free of charge for my honest opinion and I was really impressed! They design a whole personalized kit based on YOU. They even come personalized with YOUR name right on the bottles! You can send them a photo of your hair and explain to them what's going on and what you want your hair to look like and they mix up a kit just for you! It was an awesome experience and I had never done anything like that before. The kit arrived very quickly and their customer service was very very nice and helpful!

The previous time I had dyed my hair before trying eSalon my color came out fairly good but was a bit brighter than I wanted and dull looking so I was ecstatic when I used my personalized kit from eSalon and not only did it fix that issue for me but made my hair appear more healthier than it has in a long time. I have gotten many compliments on my hair lately and it has just tickled me silly!

My Thoughts: I had been wanting to try mud masks before but just never have for one reason or another so when I got the chance to try out the Barefaced one I jumped on the opportunity.

I cleaned my face real good before using the mud mask, applied, and left on around 10 minutes as per the instructions. It was a bit different than other type masks I have tried and I must admit I felt kinda funny smearing "mud" on my face although it is a practice that has been used for ages! Once I got past that initial reaction the cream was cool to my face which felt lovely in this hot hot weather lately and although it did have a slight "earthy" aroma it was not overwhelming to me so that was a definite plus!

I've only used the product once so far so I can't say I have noticed any drastic changes but upon rinsing it off my face did feel a bit smoother and soft. I will continue using it maybe once a week or so.

My Thoughts: I thought this was a really neat and cool thing! I've not tried anything like it before so was quite excited to see how it would work. I like trying new things after all!

Very tiny and sleek in size so it will fit in almost any small purse or carry on bag for overniters or whatever and it only takes a small spritz on each cheek. You can go ahead and apply before your make-up or after but I have only used it before hand. The time it hits your face it is already at work tightening and firming up. I rub it in real fast because it doesn't take it long to dry at all.

I like it because it does make my face feel more firmer and my jaws seem less jiggly. (is that a word? LOL) It's also great on the red splotches I have on my face. Which it does say it is good for Rosacea but not certain that is what I have just know it is small red splotchy places.

It does have a very slight odor to it that is not bad smelling but I really don't like perfumy smells on my face. But again it's not really a strong enough odor and for the benefit of firming my skin I can deal with the slight aroma!

Body Merry

Product Description: Do you want your eyes to express everything but your age? Our Age Defense Eye Cream is a comprehensive solution for all your eye concerns – whether its dark circles, wrinkles, puffiness, crow's feet, fine lines, dryness, sags or bags.

This cream is perfect for your eyes since we reject the idea of using harsh chemicals for the delicate eye area and use natural and organic ingredients instead.

We've packed in cutting edge peptides like Matrixyl-3000 and Tripeptide-5 with an ocean based Retinol and botanical Hyaluronic Acid. We know that's not enough – so we've added lots of antioxidants, organic vitamins and minerals, pure plant oils and botanical actives – Aloe, Witch Hazel, Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter, Vitamin C, Cucumber, Beeswax, Jojoba Oil, Tamanu Oil, Green Tea, Licorice, Eyebright, Avocado Oil, Flax Seed Oil, Rose Hip Oil, Lemon, Lemongrass, Vitamin B5, Lavender and Chamomile (to name just a few!).

Our cream works well on all skin types and leaves your skin looking and feeling firm, plump and young. Get fast and lasting results and be at the receiving end of compliments!

My Thoughts: You don't have to use but a small dab of this for it to go a long way! It really helped with the puffy bags under my eyes and gave my face a firmer feel over all. The only thing I didn't really like was it went on kind of greasy, although it doesn't take it long to sink into your skin so that wasn't a big deal and I wasn't quite fond of the smell but it's not a bad smell at all. I just don't really like face products to have any odor to them. That's just a personal preference.

Jamberry Nails

I recently had the most fun day having a girly play day with my sister and our baby girl. We pretty much spent the whole day sitting around primping and munching out on some good food but the most fun part was when we all three did our nails.

I was sent a sampling of goodies from Jamberry Nails free for an honest review and we had a ball playing with them!

None of us had ever used nail wraps before so this was a totally new experience for us! Thank goodness there was a sheet of "practice" nails to work with because we sure needed the practice! LOL Once we sort of got the hang of doing a couple it got easier and more fun and in no time we had such pretty nails to display!

The only problem I had with my nails was that when I would rub the tips against my face or skin it would have a "scratchy" feeling but in no way do I blame this on the nails themself but in human error on our part because I don't think I may have filed them down enough. As I said this was our very first time using wraps so I think over all we did a nice job. I know for a FACT we had a great time using them!

Please check out their products HERE and have your own girly time or just indulge yourself because You Deserve It! They have this awesome deal going on where if you buy 3 you get one FREE! I also forgot to mention they have monthly subscription boxes so be sure to check into those!

Kabuki Brush Angled

Oh My God, yes OMG! I fell in love with this Kabuki Brush the time my fingers touched it! The bristles are so soft and it feels like I am giving my face a mini massage everytime I have used it!

It blends everything really well including liquid, cream and powder foundations and I love the angular shape and length of it. Very easy to use! Fits very nice in my hand.

It is a bit pricey but for as nice a brush as this one is I can vouch it is well worth it! This is soooo my favorite brush! I want some more like this!

Day by Day Beauty Serum

ANTI AGING SERUM: Want to experience the benefits of Vitamin C Serum? But of course. One of the things you'll love is the antioxidant rich formula protects against environmental aggressors and neutralizes free radicals. This helps to reverse sun damage, sunspots and skin discoloration. Also consider the benefits of Aloe, Vitamin E, Vegan Hyaluronic Acid, and Jojoba Oil. Those ingredients nourish the skin & deeply hydrate the cells, leaving facial skin visibly healthier, more beautiful, & softer.

Very nice Vitamin C Serum. I usually apply it first thing in the morning and then again at night. It doesn't take but a very small amount to cover my face and neck area and it goes on with a coolness that makes my skin feel so fresh. I love that it has no odor to it and it is fast drying so no long waits to get on with my usual routine.

I've been using for several days now and can really notice a slight minimizing in my age/brown spots on my face so it's totally working as it promised to! This excites me so much! We all have to age but why should we have to look it?

Adovia Mineral Eye Gel

I have had really bad bags under my eyes for as long as I can remember even back as a teen. I've always just tried to "cover or conceal" them as much as I could but recently had a wonderful opportunity to sample Adovia's Mineral Eye Gel.

Adovia's Mineral Eye Gel contains Dead Sea Minerals, Vitamin E, and Aloe Vera and is great for all skin types. I was very excited to find out it included Aloe Vera as I have loved using Aloe Vera on lots of things. It is just a remarkable plant with great healing capabilities.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience using this eye gel! I'm really quite funny about things that are to be applied about my eye area because just the aroma off of some products tend to sting & burn my eyes and plus I don't like greasy feeling skin products. I am very excited to say that Adovia has NONE of these issues! It only has a hint of odor to it and it doesn't go on greasy at all!

I only had to use a very small amount and dabbed it about the underside of my eye and the time I did, it immediately made my eyes feel refreshed and awakened. It felt cool like and didn't take no time at all to soak into my skin! I was ready to apply my makeup in just a minute or so! I've been using the eye gel for several days now and have noticed quite a considerable change and my face just appears more vibrant and tingly. I very much recommend this product if you have wrinkles or bags under the eyes!
