Colgate Optic White


I got a small ish yet detailed review for you, I lost all my images from my voxbox so this picture is via from the Influenster site.
Within my Sugar n Spice Voxbox I got the whole Colgate® Optic White® Regimen.
Which included the Toothbrush, Toothpaste and the Mouthwash.

The tooth brush is amazing and on the back of the brush part has this thing, forgot what its called, but it cleans my tongue well, I love it. It works better then any normal toothbrush!

The toothpaste is also amazing, no other tooth paste got my teeth whiter faster. You see, I drink alot of soda which stains my teeth and well, with this toothpaste i dont really have to worry of the stains anymore!

The mouth wash I believe foams a bit, not sure if its just me but I instantly need to spit it out cause it bothers me. It spells good, like peppermint like its suppose to, but I force myself to use it cause all three together are amazing, and keeping stains away! :D

Toothbrush: $2.99 per brush
Toothpaste: $2.99 for 4oz tube
Mouthwash: $2.99 for 8oz bottle

Works well if you use all three! :D

Profusion Eye Shadows!

Hello everyone!
Today I got two eye shadow palettes for you. They are Profusion eye shadows that I got at Dollar Tree! 

First off is~
Colour me glow
12 shades eyeshadow
08

Here is a shot of the right side.As you can see they have glitter, but not a glitter bomb if you don't wan't to sparkle too much! The felt soo smooth, just a warning I used my fingers to swatch on my arm!


These first three swatched are the right side, this is just one swipe so you can tell how pigmented they are! They are very smooth and aren;t glitter bomb eye shadows! My camera didn't pick up the sparkles but the middle of the three you can kind of see.

Left to Right;
Gray, kind of like charcoal after burnt.
Brown, kind of like milk chocolate.
Copper, kind of like a coppery brown some what bronze.
All have glitter, but not glitter bombs.


Now next is the left side!


Here is the left side swatched, starting with that dark brown on the left. Once again these are one swipe, they are very pigmented, random glitters not a glitter bomb and are smooth applying.

Left to Right;
Dark Brown, kind of like a lighter dark chocolate with a red hint.
Light Brown, kind of reminds me of someone with light brunette hair.
Sandy Nude, kind of reminds me of sand at a beach with a gold and gray hint to it.
All have glitter, but not glitter bombs.


Here is the center! As you can see these are vertical as the first set of three are horizontal! Pretty mostly brown palette. :)


Now onto the swatches. Don't let the picture fool you! My skin is super pale so most don't seem as pigmented when they are! Very at that! all applied smooth and are amazing in my opinion. :)

Left to Right;
Pale yellow.
Spicy Mustard, reminds me of spicy mustard with a brown hint.
Mint Green.
Black.
Brown, kind of like a dark bark.
Off White.


Second off is~
Twinkle twinkle
8 eye shadow
08

This next one is random colours as you can see. These ones are more of a shimmer glitter!


Once again I only did one swipe, they are pigmented but some what pale pigmented. My pale skin doesn't help. These ones are smooth too but if you apply with your fingers or even brushs be careful cause this one seems very soft, I had a mishab with the 2nd from left but fixed it!

In this picture is the first six;
Yellow.
White, some what an off white with a slight yellow hint.
Green, kind of a light Christmas green.
Gray, with a hint of purple.
Sky Blue.
Magenta.
Shimmer glitter but not over bearing.


You can see my mishab with the white, here is the last two of the palette!

Left to Right;
Taupe.
Black.
Shimmer glitter but not over bearing.


Overall: I have two more palettes coming up soon, all these are smooth applying, good pigment wise and are pretty glitter/shimmers but aren't too distracting. They are very pretty. As stated in the beginning, I got these at Dollar Tree. I'll be using these alot. :)

CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pencil & lipstick Smoochies lipbalm!

So I'm going to try to review things I get, may not be nail polish like I hoped, but my camera isn't so good and its hard for me to get good pictures.

So today I got one of the Cover Girl's new Flamed Out Shadow Pencil! And three Smoochies!


Here is what Cover Girl's flamed out shadow pencil looks like uncapped.

Here it is swatched. I got the red one, 310.
Not sure it it has a name cause I didn't look at the plastic protector thing before I threw it out, but like I said I got the red one on it has the number 310.
I LOVE IT! It goes on smooth without any issues. Very pigmented.
I'm sure to buy more of these. :)
Actually just checked out their site, its name is Red-Hot Flame! ;D


Next is the three Smoochies I got by Cover Girl.
I got (L to R) #tweet me, #text me, and #luv bug.
FYI; I swatched on my arms so yous get a better colour idea then my lip colour messing with them.


First up is #tweet me, its a bright creme red, goes on smooth, no stickyness. I would totally recommend all of these!


Next up is #text me, its about 4 shades darker red then the first I shown, it also has a slight shimmer.
Also goes on smooth, no stickyness, yay!


Finally, there is #luv bug, its about 6 shades darker of a red then the second one I shown, it its some what pearl like or frost like depending on the light, its some what a red brown depending on the light.
Also smooth, no stickyness, LOVE!

Over all on the three Cover Girl Smoochies I got.
They are all smooth applying, no stickyness, give great colour.
And most of all, smell GREAT! Reminds me of ring pops, esp the cherry flavor!

Do my lame pictures compell you? How about my review?
I don't know about you, but I'mma save up for more of these! :D
Get cha some!

11 months old.

March 29th already? Wow. That means almost APRIL! Oh. My. Lord. You know what that means? Abegael is 11 months old today, almost one year old! That means soon, 5 days before she turns one, I'll be 21! Really!? Time flies so fast, I swear it was just last week I brought Abegael home. Abegael is eaching herself how to stand up without holding onto anything for support. Soon enough she'll be walking walking on me! Sure she goes from one thing to something else thats close....but I think I might cry my eyes out when she actually walks!

Word has it the Easter Bunny is charging me around $35 for Abegaels basket, LOL! Baskets are hard for babies, I swear! I am excited for when she gets older and she follows the Easter Bunnies jelly bean trail from our door to her basket. I just hope she doesn't eat the jelly beans from the floor, lol, esp the ones that lead outside! xD Whats also hard with her basket is we, me and her, (since I love bunnies), both of us together have over 20 bunny stuffed animals, lol. Her theme was bunnies. xD BUNNIES WE LOOOOVE! Ahem, anyway!


Polish things! I went to Walgreens today on the hunt for Milani Textures....they had no trace of ANY Milani products, SAD FACE! I actually liked how they looked. xD Then Riteaids I'm on the hunt for JulieG Gumdrops! I want them all and I HOPE they'll get them! Then the new WnW fastdrys along with L.A. Girls 3D Holos I want! I hope I can get atleast one set or some of each before my birthday at near the end of April. I wanna give myself a present. My many cold walks for my mother better be worth it! :D

Speaking of the cold, I AM SICK OF IT! Its usually warming up by now but its like full on winter still here. Well for my area. Most of the time we always miss the snow, ALWAYS, all towns around an hour away get bombed while we just get the freezing arctic temps! Its still like that. The only glimps of Spring is SOME mornings the SUN shows! THE SUUUUN! But it doesn't even last an hour when it does show in the mornings. I'm sick of all these around 45 or below temps. I WANT MY WARM WEATHER!

Anywho. Anything big going on soon for you? Is anyone special looking forward to the Easter Bunny? Any polishes you are excited about? Hows the weather where you live!? :D

Juniper Subscription Review.

Okay, I really need to keep posting or figure out days and such for posts. Anyway, I saved this for when mothers natures gift was gone or almost gone.



The Box: Juniper

The Products: Pads, midol, tampons and treats! ( Luxury pampering box for mother natures gifting time.)

The Cost: $28 monthly, includes shipping!




What I seen when I removed the tissue paper. :D



Here is my bag of treats! So far everything was neat, the treats come in this see through back, pads and such in a silky like bag which you'll see soon. ON TO THE TREATS!!


Honey sticks in Apple, Peaches and Clover! I loved these, I downed the apple and peaches but the clover was just too much cause the natural sugar like high got to me. xD No sleep that night and it wasn't cause of Abegael!


Oh man these caramels, I could eat these forever, I had to wait for the morning to try these cause they contain wine in them, I didn't even taste the wine, it was so sweat yet salty I loooved it!


Look at these huge pecans! Sweet and Spicy is just a bite of heaven for me! So sweet with an undertone of spicy, I could eat these for the rest of my life~


Dark Chocolate with peanuts, I think peanuts, anyway.... I am a milk chocolate lover ALL THE WAY, but I would eat these anyway, thats how yummy they were. <3




At first I thought these were drugs, lmbo! I was like, omg, wait...what? I will one day soon use these teas! :D
Have any of you tried these? If so, how were they? :D


On the card said these would be like grilled cheese in snack form. But oh man, these were like cheese its ot whatever they are called...but BETTER! I couldn't stop eating these I wish the bag was neverending!


Baggie empty, I love these kind of bags!


My box of tampons I'll never use, I don't think I will ever use tampons, I'm more of a pad girl, lol.


Two over night pads, lookie the cute packaging! I guess its called packaging, lol.


Five panty liners, aren't these the cutest? (there is two main green ones there)

Three Regular pads, oh how I love the leopard like print. <3


The silky baggie I was talking about, I think I might start collecting these baggies. xD <3



The grassy things in the box. :D Some sparkly!


What I also like is on the back of the tampon box there is the warning and to help you find the right tampon I guess? I know nothing of pads except of that TSS thing.


Over all, I love this box but it is out of my price range, a friend thats a blogger reviewed a box and the company gave everyone a free box if they mentioned her name for her followers. I wasn't told to review, I just did it just cause. <3

Sugar `N Spice VoxBox 2013


Yup! I got my 2nd VoxBox which I am happy for! I got the 2nd February Box, Sugar `N Spice!

 


Here is everything I got in the box! :D

Three things I got include Colgate's Optic White Regimen:
Use the Optic White toothpaste, toothbrush, and mouthwash together for whiter teeth in five days (vs. brushing with an ordinary toothpaste alone).

Here is the toothbrush. The brush is made to get areas you can't normally get and hold in the toothpaste better! Also has a tongue/inner cheek brush thing on the other side! Its amazing! This is the best toothbrush I ever used!
Retails for $2.99 per brush.

Colgate's Optic White mouthwash in Sparkling Fresh Mint.
It's Alcohol free.
Helps protect against future stains.
Reaches hard-to-brush areas.
Kills bad breath germs.
Enamel Safe.

To me I have to use all my might with this stuff. I think I am allergic to an ingredient. Once I put some in my mouth, I get a reflex to SPIT! Or gag if I try to swish around my mouth for a few seconds. Also makes me gums red after using. Dx Other then that I think its helping with stains along with the toothpaste. I might stop since I might be allergic.

Retails for $2.99 for 8oz bottle.


Optic White Toothpaste in Sparkling Mint
Loooove this toothpaste! I def saw a difference in my first use. More so each time I use this stuff! :D
Whiter Teeth In One Week.
Daily Anticavity Fluoride Toothpast | Enamel Safe!

I had no reaction to the toothpaste, thank god! Cause this is the best toothpaste I ever used, too, :)

Retails $2.99 for 4 oz tube!

I really recommend this regimen, but maybe stop use if you get an reaction like I did to the mouthwash. :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is belVita Breaskfast Biscuits: $3.69 for a box of 5 packets of 4 biscuits.

Cute little package the size about your hand, well mine, :)


Look like gram crackers. xD Think mine was cinnamon something.... xD It was delicious though!
They are made with delicious ingredients and carefully baked to release steady energy that lasts all morning. They are a good source of Fiber and B-Vitamins, contain no high fructose corn syrup, have 18-20 grams of whole grain per 50 gram serving and taste great -  perfect for on-the-go!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Next is Nectresse: $6.99 for 5.9 oz container, or $3.99 for a box of 40 packets.
NECTRESSE sweetener tastes like sugar but has zero calories per serving! 100% all natural, NECTRESSE is made primarily from monk fruit combined with other natural sweeteners.

Its amazing, best I ever tried! I would def recommend! To the left is a booklet I also got which explains more about it and some recipes with how much calories they are and all! I love the cinnamon hot chocolate in there! Yum!

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturizer Total Moisture: $7.99 for 6.5 oz can!
This stuff is AH-MAZING!
Hold 4 inches from skin and spray over arms, legs and body in a continuous motion. Quickly rub into skin and go!
Its not greasy, at all!
Moisturizes in seconds so you can put your clothes right on!
Smells amazing. :D

LOVELOVELOVE, Recommended!  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next is Dickinson's Original Witch Hazel Oil Controlling Towelettes: $5.99 for a 20-count box!
Cleans & Conditions on the go!
oil free - non-drying - all skin types
gently removes dirt, oil, & impurities while eliminating shine
with botanical extracts
gentle formula
touched with aloe

This stuff made my skin feel sooo much softer then usual!
Its amazing. Though like the name, witch hazel, it smells like hazel wood. C:

Also below as you can see I got a couple Save $2.00 off the purchase of any Dickinson's original Witch Hazel product! 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well, I'm very happy with this box
I'm glad to be an Influenster!
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
My opinions are my own with my experiences of these products.
