* Product Review: Influenster Go Voxbox *


What products are your "Go To" products when you're on the go? I was recently selected by Influenster to receive a complimentary Go Voxbox containing products to try and honestly review for people who are always on the go. 

My Go Voxbox contained: 
  • PROFOOT Triad Orthotic 
  • PROFOOT Pedi-Rock 
  • Platex Sport Fresh Balance
  • Blue Diamond Blueberry flavored Almonds
  • Muller Greek Corner and Corner Yogurt
  • Next Step Shakes and Shaker
  • and AquaSpa Relax Body Creme
What a great box! And just in time for a little relaxation and pampering that I so desperately needed!

I enjoyed trying the items (with a little help from my family too) and here's a little info on my favorites from the box! I would have to say that my absolute favorite is the PROFOOT Pedi-Rock. I like to keep my feet smooth and soft; and with the summer sandal season here, that is very important. The pedi-rock was able to slough off rough skin, keeping my feet smooth and soft like I need them to be. The pedi-rock is not hard, as you would expect, and was easy to grip and use effectively.

The PROFOOT Triad Orthotic was another one of my faves. I put them into my sneakers to help ease my lower back pain and foot fatigue. They really came in handy last week during VBS when I was on my feet for about 4 hours straight!

The Next Step Shakes and Shaker. I was able to test the chocolate, vanilla, and fresh berries. I am not trying to lose weight so I had these as an afternoon snack. You can use them as a breakfast or meal replacement. I thought they were okay. I loved using the shaker to make the shakes, but I probably won't purchase these in the future. 

The Muller Greek Corner and Corner Yogurt, was yummy and what I expected. I love the different flavors that they have available to choose from. I tried the strawberry flavor.

The Blue Diamond Blueberry flavored almonds were devoured by my hubby! He thought they were delicious and the perfect snack size.

I don't usually discuss personal products on social media, so I am going to stick with that. And the Aqua Spa Relax Body Creme had a lavender scent, and I don't like lavender scented products. :(

All in all, I really enjoyed testing the products in my Go Voxbox, and I hope that I am selected for another voxbox soon! 

Have you tried any of these Go Voxbox products? Do you have a favorite product that keeps you going and can't live without? I'd love to hear from you! Don't be shy, share below!! :)

* Woolite Everyday Review & Giveaway! *


 

I had the opportunity to sample and review Woolite Everyday thanks to Crowdtap and Woolite. Growing up when I thought of Woolite, I thought of laundry detergent for your delicates and "unmentionables." But I've learned that Woolite now makes detergent that can be used for all of your clothing.

 
I was sent 10 samples, one for me to sample and review, and 9 to give away so that my friends can try it out too! I made sure to put my sample to the test by trying it out on my dark clothes; which included a few jeans, school uniforms, work uniforms and baby boy's baseball uniform top. To my surprise, the clothes were as clean as if I had used a harsher detergent, but they felt softer and didn't look as worn. I also loved that Woolite smells great but did not leave my clothes with a heavily perfumed scent.

About Woolite Everyday:
  • Cleans & Cares for all fabrics and colors (even whites.)
  • Specially formulated to prevent damage (fading,stretching & shrinking) to clothing, so that your clothes look like new longer.
  • Designed for use in both regular and HE machines.
I enjoyed using my sample and gave away 6 others to family and friends; but I saved 3 samples to share with my readers! :)

 
If you would like to try Woolite Everyday you can enter below! I will randomly choose 3 readers via random.org to receive a sample pack (which also includes a coupon!) of Woolite Everyday.



 
You must be 18 or older and a US resident to enter. The giveaway is open from Thursday, April 25, 2013 until Saturday, May 4, 2013 11:59 pm EST. Winners will be announced Wednesday, May 8, 2013 and contacted via email. The winners will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen.

* Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch Review *

 
It seems like my family is always on the go. Whether it is school, church, sports or extra curricular activities, our mornings are usually hurried. Having an undemanding morning is a luxury! With that being said, I usually don't have time to cook a big breakfast, but I am still concerned about making healthy choices for my family. Our go to breakfast during the week is usually cereal; I like to choose cereals that are nutritious, and of course my children want something that tastes good!
 
We recently had the opportunity to try out a new cereal from Post - Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch. I feel it is the perfect combination of what the kids want (great taste) and what I want (good for you!) Here's the nutritional information:
  • 33 g of Whole Grain per serving (Over 2/3 of the recommended daily whole grain intake!
  • Serving Size: 1 Cup
  • 230 Calories
  • Provides 12 essential vitamins and minerals
  • 5 g of protein per serving
  • Me: "I like that it is nutritious and has a sweet crunchy taste. No need to add additional sweeteners because it has the perfect blend of sweet and crunch!"
  • Hubby: "The yogurt taste sneaks in when you least expect it."
  • Baby Boy: "I really like the yogurt parts and the flakes!"
  • Baby Girl: "I eat it without milk and it tastes great!"
 
I will definitely purchase this for my family in the future. One box did not last long in my household - when my family likes something it seems to disappear! It is sold at retailers across the US and on Amazon. I have recently  seen it on sale in my local grocery store for a great price; so it is definitely on my shopping list.
 
You can find out more about Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey Crunch as well as the many other flavors of Honey Bunches of Oats on:
Try it out, you won't regret it! :)
 
Enjoy!

** Try & Tell Tuesday: L'Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream **

I had the opportunity to test L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream. Although I had heard many reviews on BB Creams, this was my first time ever trying one so I was very excited. Here are the claims.
 
Claims:
 
About L'Oréal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream:
  • This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits.
  • With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin.
  • The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization.

My Review:

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this product. I had previously used a tinted moisturizer that I ordered from QVC that I loved, but ran out of. That moisturizer was expensive so I have been searching for something to replace it at a lower cost. I have definitely found what I am looking for in the L'Oréal Magic BB Cream. Here are my pros and cons.

Pros:
Lightweight
Easy to apply
Blends nicely
Nice coverage
Non oily
Lasts all day
Portable packaging
Affordable
Natural Looking
Good for oily skin

Cons:
No SPF
Not a moisturizer

The pros definitely outweigh the cons. I will just need to apply a moisturizer with a SPF before applying the BB Cream. That is not a problem for me. I love the fact that this does not make my oily skin more oily and that it lasts all day without needing touch ups. It evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy on my skin. I actually ran a 5k on Saturday, but did not want to wear makeup. I felt that I needed some coverage, so I used the BB Cream alone. It looked great before, during and after my race! This is my picture after the race


I think it held up really well!

To apply, you simply dot on and blend with fingertips. It starts out as a white color but the self-adjusting beads will instantly transform and blend to your skin tone. I used the medium shade (814). You can either use this alone or as a primer.

L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for approximately $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide.

I received a complimentary product, courtesy of SheSpeaks and L'oréal Paris for review. All opinions of the product are 100% my own.

I had the opportunity to review Covergirl blastflipstick from BzzAgent. I received the package which contained:


  • Three full-sized COVERGIRL blastflipsticks (in Stunner, Vixen and Minx)
  • Pass-along coupons

The Claims:
  • Ultra blendable formula allows you to mix shades, just like a make-up artist
  • Dual ends let you create the current "ombre" trend on your lips!

  • Created by expert make-up artist, and COVERGIRL Global Creative Design Director, Pat McGrath
  • 13 colorful, complementary and expertly matched shade duos
  • Moisturizing formula mixes perfectly without feeling heavy or dry

Each COVERGIRL blastflipstick yields an array of stunning colors within each blendable duo and has unlimited potential to create customizable looks for every season. Blend and design your unique lip look in seconds:
  • Glide on the creamy end of the stick, layering as desired
  • Use the shimmery end of the stick to finish the look, sweeping on layers to blend or highlight to perfection
  • Mix and match shades for your one-of-a-kind look
Available shade duos:I
  • Whisper: Taupe and pearl pink shades
  • Pucker: Light berry and lilac shades

  • Smooch: Copper and sand shades
  • Minx: Deep brown and gold shades
  • Intense: Deep berry and taupe shades

My Review:

I enjoyed the Covergirl blastflipstick lipsticks. I tried the shades Vixen and Minx. I thought that Minx would be my favorite since I like gold in my makeup, but it appeared to harsh and dark. Vixen was definitely my favorite.

I like that there are two shades in one stick, so it is customizeable. It is basically 3 lipsticks in 1! You can use either shade separately or use them together for a unique look. The colors blend well, and I usually layer the two colors together. 

The Covergirl blastflipstick goes on smoothly and keeps my lips moisturized all day. The color lasts for quite a while before re-application is needed.

The Giveaway:

One reader will receive Covergirl blastflipstick in the shade Stunner (a reddish/shimmerygold shade) as well as 3 coupons to try other shades for yourself. The giveaway is open to US residents only.

Product Review: Glade Expressions

 
 
I had the opportunity to try and review the new Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser and also the Glade Expressions Refillable Fragrance Mist. I feel that Glade is one of the best companies for air fresheners and was excited to try these new items in my home! Here are the claims:
 
Glade Expressions® Fragrance Mist
  • The first refillable fragrance mist from Glade®
  • Squeeze-to-release a soft, light mist of true-to-life fragrance that lasts
  • Instantly enhances any room and eliminates odor
  • Refillable with your favorite Glade Expressions® fragrance — so true-to-life, it's as if the ingredients are being cut open right next to you
  • With a removable label, the holder is artfully designed and chic enough to incorporate into any décor 
Glade Expressions® Oil Diffuser
  • The best non-electric oil diffuser for living spaces, delivering 3x more fragrance
  • Refillable with your favorite Glade Expressions® scent — authentic, exotic ingredients like mangosteen and cardamom spice are unlike anything else in the fragrance aisle
  • Trendy holder (available in bamboo or white) matches home décor perfectly, allowing you to place true-to-life fragrance in any room
  • The intuitive snap-in-place setup makes the diffuser easy to assemble, refill and enjoy
  • The spill-free design fills living spaces with fragrance for 30 days
  • A wide and thin wick releases fragrance slowly, leaving you with consistent fragrance over time
 Here are the  fragrances available:
Cotton & Italian Mandarin*
Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice
Lavender & Juniper Berry
Pineapple & Mangosteen
*Available in Glade Expressions® Fragrance Mist only.
 
 
I tried the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser in Pineapple & Mangosteen and the Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist in Cotton & Italian Mandarin pictured below.
 
 

I loved the Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser. It was extremely easy to assemble, did not require electricity or flames and left my home with a tropical and inviting smell day after day. The freshness lasts for up to 30 days and is easy to replace with another oil bottle. Although I don't have babies or pets, I think that this would be a great freshener around both. It is also stylish and blended in well with my furnishings. It costs approximately $5.98
 
The Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist smelled wonderful too. I did not use it everyday, but it worked well to cover odors without leaving a heavily perfumed scent. It is light, refreshing and odor neutralizing. The cost is approximately $2.98.
 
 
Disclosure: I received these products free of charge for review as part of a BzzAgent Campaign , but the opinions expressed are entirely my own.
