This is a long lasting bold lip color and is actually long lasting. I own a few colors from this line. 

I love Thyme in my cooking it is earthy and just like home cooking. 

This brush is good for using while I blow dry my hair since it has the holes in it, but not for just brushing out my hair in the morning. I didn't like the fluffiness it give when using it on dry hair. I also want to add that I had to use another brush to get the tangles out before using this one to blow dry my hair. 

The Rimmel  eye makeup remover was surprisingly AWESOME! I didn't expect it to work so well. It removed my mascara in just a could gently swipes. That was impressive to me. 

Fruit Vines gummy like licorice treats that are strawberry flavored :)

Dino Lingo

I was given the opportunity to try out Dino Lingo from Influenster in the Mom VoxBox to review and give my honest opinions. 

This is a fun way for you kids to learn a new language. There are so many to choose from the sample languages my son was able to try were the Spanish, Italian and Chinese. Although there are over 20 languages to choose from. 

Per Dino Lingo's Web site

"Dino Lingo for Kids is a language set where cartoon dinosaurs introduce the most common 200 words of a target language. This language set consists of 5 DVDs, each DVD focused on specific learning topics. Colors, numbers, family, animals, food, fruit and vegetables, vehicles, body parts, clothes, nature and verbs and actions After watching our videos several times, most small children can easily name everyday objects and understand basic phrases such as "Hello", "What is this?" in their target language. Dino Lingo is ideal for fostering a toddler's cognitive development and has won the 'Influential Parents Award' in 2010 and 2011 in education category. Dino Lingo language learning programs are most effective for children up to 7 years of age and anybody interested in learning the basics of a new language. "

He preferred the Spanish because he said that is the one he wanted to know more of. He has learned some in school, but wanted to get better. We had fun doing it together. The words were easy to figure out since the images were easy to understand. The music was cute and was fun to listen to. 

I did notice that there was no translation during the video which makes it less confusing when learning words.  

When it comes to the phrases you get an idea of what the phrase is meant to say, but you can't be sure.  That is the only thing that I noticed that could be confusing. 

Thank you to Dino Lingo and Influenster for giving my child the chance to experience new languages.

The many uses of Ivory

I recieved the Ivory Soap from Influenster in my Mom VoxBox to try out and give my honest opinion and thoughts. 

 I really have not seen Ivory Bar soap in such a long time. I have use the body wash and love it so when I opened the bar soap I thought what else besides body soap could I use this for. I found out that it is great to use for 

1. laundry soap by flaking pieces off into your laundry
2. as a spot stain remover ( ring around the collar and food stains)
3. facial cleanser 
4. crafty things like soap carving and I even saw one mom make colored soap wash from it.
5. Fun in the tub for kids cause it floats in the tub

What I decided to use it for was to clean my makeup brushes. I have to be honest I am not the most frequent brush cleaner around. The only reason for that is that it takes forever and I always have to wash them 2-3 times to get it clean and even then they are not completely clean so I kind of think.... why bother...... 

So here is my first brush I use this to apply foundation and you can see the brown tips. 

I was completely AMAZED at how clean the brushes got! I mean really really amazed. I only washed it once and didn't even spend much time on it. I just rubbed, swirled and rinsed and Ta-Da!

Who knew? Don't spend all that wasted money on fancy cleansers and wasted time washing and re washing your brushes. One time and they are completely clean!!

Oh and by the way believe it or not it is 99.44% pure! (funny it floats)

Thank you so very much for opening my eyes to a whole new use and time saver for cleaning my make-up brushes!! 
You can purchase Ivory Soap from the Grocery store or any drug stores.

Thank you Influenster and Ivory!

Kiss Nail Dress Review Update

I received the Kiss Nail Dress from Influenster.com in my Love VoxBox to test out and review.
I really liked the design!! It was a leopard print and really fun.
First let me give you a bit of information on them.
They are last up to 10 days and are easily removable without polish remover. There are so many fun designs on them and would definitely recommend them for the fun prints. They are a sticker like product. There are 18 different designs From wild to flirty. I can't get over how pretty they look. You may never think of using such wild prints, but I think you will be pleasantly surprised on the outcome. 







Directions for use:
simply file nails and wipe with polish remover before application.

 How to apply:

1. Select your size
2. Peel and stick. 

Just be sure if you are applying to your fingers that the rounded side is near your cuticle and if you are doing your toes the flat side is near your cuticles.





















      2.   Fold over the excess and file off edges. Or you can cut the tips and then file.

The best part is 

1. There is no dry time and if you apply them and make a mistake there are 28 in a pack so there are extras for us that need practice. If you are a perfect applier you can use the extra for matching toes. 

2. If you wear a really fun print no one can tell you have application issues like wrinkles in them. 

3. They don't dry out so you can save the extras for next time or reapply if one starts to come off.

You can purchase these from any drugstore or mass retail stores. They are very affordable and costs approx $6.99. Check out Kiss Nail Dress site HERE for details and colors/prints available. 

Check out Influenster HERE to join and qualify for future VoxBoxes.

As you can see below I did have application problems and I noticed them, but everyone else that saw them loved them and did not notice the minor issues of my application as I did. 
**UPDATE**
Although I did make some application mistakes and my nails were not perfect no one could tell the difference. I got nothing but compliments on them from the moment I went out and people saw them. I did end up removing them this morning and only because one had come off, but I was using glue remover to remove stickers from a mirror yesterday and I was also doing some heavy duty gardening, like building my garden (framing) and planting my entire veggie garden and it only made a little tear in one Kiss Nail Dress. All the others were fine. There is also somehing to be said about being able to remove the prints from your fingers in one peel too. It is just a weird satisfaction. I always wanted to do that. It did not damage my nail in any way either!!!! These are definitely worth trying. Just wait till you get a response. So much fun to wear. I just need a little more practice and that is soon to happen on my next purchase at the drug store.  I can't wait to try the other prints!
