My review for the Disney Frozen Princess Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven, and Olaf Backpack, Large 16" School Bag!!!

My Nieces Are Very Happy With These Backpacks!! Such Great Quality Too.,

My Nieces asked me to buy them a backpack because they know I always find the cutest things. So I broke down and began searching for the perfect backpacks. Both of my Nieces are only 1 year apart so I figured I would find one for them and get the same one. I never realized how hard it is searching for a backpack online!

You can't tell the quality of it or how big it is, and for me I was reading the details on the backpacks and seeing 10",12",14" & 16". And I was puzzled I was like what they have a size! I guess you learn something new everyday. I looked for about a week with no luck so I decided to let them look to pick out one they liked. Mind you their 6 & 7 years old. They both agreed on one but for some reason I just didn't like it. So I searched and searched and ran across this one and I knew they would love it. Plus for $14.99 you can't beat that price especially for a Disney backpack.
When it arrived I was so excited because it was much more colorful in person, and the quality was very very nice. Once I began looking them over I realized Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven & Olaf stick out a little on the front. Almost like they have a memory foam/cushion to make them stick out. I think that is the best part of this backpack. Mind you this backpack has no flaws very strong material and several pockets for different things. And it even has a spot for a water bottle or drink on the side. When I gave these backpacks to the girls their faces lit up with excitement. And at that moment I knew I made the right decision. Every time I talk to them they talk about how much they love their backpacks and how much they love me.

Overall I am very pleased with this backpack! I highly recommend it to anyone in the market looking to buy for your child. You wont be disappointed and the quality is very nice especially for the price.

My review for the Pet Magasin Set of Three Colorful Bird Toys!!!

My Bingo loves these toys! Kept her busy for hours....,

I have a Goffin Cockatoo her name is Bingo she is 26 years old!! She loves her toys and she goes through a lot of them. I swear I am at the pet store weekly trying to find a toy that would interest her but take awhile to destroy. Because the pet stores around me want a ridiculous amount for each toy. I spend roughly $35-$50 on Bird toys just for them to be demolished within a few days. I have tried to make my own but still in the learning process.

When I was given the opportunity to get this Pet Magasin Set of Three Colorful Bird Toys, at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest & unbiased review. I was more than happy too! When they arrived I let Bingo open the box it only took her about 3 minutes to open it. But when she got the box opened I began to smell a very strange odor. So I immediately got them out of the box to let them air out. I figured maybe from them being in a bag they developed the smell or maybe from the heat. And the swing has what looks like pieces of leather which could also be the smell I was smelling! She was so mad at me cause she wanted to play with them. I let them air out for 2 days, & the smell is still there but it did fade a little. I decided to let her test out the swing first! And I couldn't even hook it to the top of the cage with out her attacking it. Once I did attach it to the cage, she would take her claw and move the swing back in forth attacking the beads. She absolutely loves beads & bells. I think its because those are the one things she cant destroy! And she tries and tries. She then began swinging on it and every time the bell would hit she would go faster. It was so cute! She's been trying to destroy it but still has yet to do so.

Next I put the other 2 in her cage and she immediately went after the ball filled with materials. She messed with that for hours and it didn't last long but boy was she content for awhile! I was able to get somethings taken care of without her screaming Mom cause she wants my attention or her head scratched. I am definitely going to have to order these again because not only is the price affordable but much cheaper than the pet stores. And she actually plays with these ones and the swing is still in one piece.

Overall I am very happy with this set of bird toys! Like I mentioned earlier they do have a smell that is awful when you first open the bag. The smell does fade but doesn't completely go away! And could possibly be because of the little piece of leather on the swing. This is why I gave it 4 stars because that is the only flaw these toys had. And my Bingo loved them!

I purchased these toys at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

My review for the Best Pro Eyeshadow Palette Makeup - Matte + Shimmer 16 Colors - Highly Pigmented - Professional Nudes Warm Natural Bronze Neutral Smoky Cosmetic Eye Shadows - Lamora Au Naturel!!!

I love this palette! The pigment in each shade is more than I expected and they last all day...,

I think I am a little obsessed with this Nude Palette! Well I have a big obsession with makeup in general and can always find a flaw in everything I purchase. But I still have yet to find something I do not like about this palette!! I opened it up mind you the packaging is really nice. When I opened it that's when I fell in love.

The first thing that caught my eye was the saying on the inside of the package. Which reads " Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself!" I live by this saying. Its so true and every time I read it, it encourages me to stay on the path of being myself. The eye shadows are so pretty and each shade has its name below it which is nice. Because when I do my makeup I don't look under it to see what shade it is. This way when I go to do my makeup and say I loved the way it looked the day before I can repeat the steps and go by the shades I used without looking on the bottom trying to figure it out.

Now when I did a swatch of each shade to get a feel of what color goes well with me. I was very happy with how nice the pigment is in each shade. You don't need a whole lot to get the color to be exactly like it is in the palette. You can use a few shades to get a nice smokey eye, or just use one shade! They all go well with one another allowing for several looks along the neutral scale. Which I am really happy with! I do love bright colors and switching my looks up. But majority of the time I am usually wearing nude colors! Some are shimmery and some are matte which is also very nice because I can have some shimmer on my bottom eyelid and matte on top or vice versa.

Overall I am completely happy with this palette and I feel every person out there who loves makeup should own this palette.

I purchased this palette at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience.

My review for the Jstyle 12 Pcs Choker Necklaces for Women Girls Tattoo Henna Choker Vintage Elastic Adjustable!!!

Such a great set of chokers! And they will look nice on anyone.,

These 12pc Choker Necklaces were more than I expected! I have been a HUGE fan of these necklaces since my childhood! And too see them slowly making there way back really makes me happy.

These chokers are made of a very strong quality elastic. By strong I mean that they are not cheap. These are safe for all ages well in my opinion 7 up! Just because some of them have beads on them and it would be terrible for a young child to break one and choke on one of the beads. I really love each necklaces design. Some multi-colored others with flower beads & or white/black or colorful beads. Each necklace is guaranteed to match any outfit you plan to where & your not stuck wearing the same ol black one everyday. I love changing up my look and with these chokers I can definitely do that. Another thing I absolutely love about these chokers is they definitely make your face stand out more & to me they make your face look slimmer. The last thing I love about these is you can sleep with them on and not worry about actually choking yourself, or your hair being snagged on the metal clasp.

Overall I am very pleased with these chokers & I definitely recommend them to everyone. These chokers really do belong in everyone's jewelry box!

My review for the Dream Star Girls' Popover Tie Front Dress with Floral Printed Skirt- 2 Piece Set!!!

I love this 2 piece dress. Its much prettier in person!!!,

I fell in love with this popover dress! I wanted something that was light for summer for my Niece who just turned 3. I ordered the 3T! I was beyond pleased when it arrived. The material is much prettier in person than the above photos. I thought it would be super cheap material and boy was I worried for nothing.

This dress can be worn with or without the shirt, which makes it that much better. You could even use the shirt for another outfit or over another dress you may have. I personally love the Floral design, its so simple but so beautiful and the stitching is perfect. No frays and the material is of great quality and is soft. I am very very happy with my purchase. I definitely recommend this dress/skirt to anyone looking to purchase something nice light & simply gorgeous.

My review for the Shopkins Hearts 14-inch Backpack!!

My Niece was very happy with this book bag! Its average sized & the colors are much brighter in person....,

I bought this for my Niece her birthday was coming & I knew she wanted a Shopkins book bag. Every time she seen that darn Walmart commercial she would say Aunt Rose look Shopkins book bag that is all I want for my birthday. It was so cute & I knew I needed to get her one.

I searched and searched for the one she wanted but Walmart was sold out online & in store. So I came to my favorite place Amazon & searched. I came across this one & thought it was the cutest one. The heart on the front is what sold me. I didn't want a mini book bag I wanted to get her a average sized book bag so she could fit all her shopkins in. So I figured this 14-inch bag would be perfect size. And it was!!

When it arrived I loved it more in person, the colors are much brighter & more vivid than show in the picture. And its much bigger than I had thought. I am not great with measurements. Basically to me its a average sized book bag for those looking to purchase it. It has to spots on the sides that is netted but is stretchy to place water bottles in or a drink. There is a pouch on the bottom front for pencils and such, and the heart opens as well and is perfect for pencils, calculators etc. Then the big opening is nice sized for books, planners, paper! My Niece is using for her shopkins till school starts. Overall its really nice & I am very pleased with my purchase!!

My review for the WEMELODY® U8 Plus Bluetooth Smartwatch for IOS and Android Devices(Black)!!!

So much packed into such a small device!! I am very pleased.,

This U8 Plus Smartwatch is much nicer than I expected! For the price you would expect something super cheap. But when it arrived it was exactly as pictured. Even if it was just a regular watch it would be nice. But it has so many things that make it awesome. But before I get into that I would like to talk about its appearance & the quality of the design.

The watch itself is heavy duty & well crafted. The band is made of a high grade silicone & is soft. I like that because my wrist gets irritated with fabric or metal. And the hairs on my wrist would get pulled. But not with the silicone! The screen is perfect sized. When I first powered it on I was super happy. Because the resolution is really nice, to me its crystal clear. And swiping & looking through the menu exiting apps etc it has a very fast response. For a lower priced smartwatch you would expect some lag but I have not experienced any lag at all. Some of the features that are installed on this U8 smart watch are as follows. Phone book, Dialer, Messaging, Call Log, Notifier, Music, Remote Camera, Settings, Anti-Lost, Power saver, Ringtones, Sleep Mode, Language, Pedometer, Stop Watch, Menu Style, Find Phone, Clock Type & Alarm. Some of them don't work without turning bluetooth on. BUT you can use the alarm, stopwatch, pedometer, ringtones & power saver. So technically you could use this as a Fitbit.

Now too get started you do have to download the QR Scanner app on your phone then register with your phone # and email & make a password. Once you complete setting up the app on your phone. You then turn bluetooth on, on both devices the watch & phone. The phone I used is a ZTE Prestige Model: N9132 Android Based!! On the smartwatch you go to the yellow BT(Bluetooth) icon click it. Then click the BT setting. Then click power on! That took me a few minutes to figure out. I was getting so frustrated but then when I realized what I missed I laughed. Now once the phone & watch are connected it only takes a second to load all your info onto the smartwatch. I was very impressed. I also like that the bluetooth doesn't stay connected constantly it disconnects & as soon as a message or call comes in your phone & the watch connect immediately. You can answer the call on the watch and put it on speaker. This is ideal while driving or riding a bike etc because you can be hands free & not miss a call especially if its important. Now when bluetooth is connected the battery life on the watch is not great. But when not connected it will last a very long time. For example when the watch arrived I charged it for like 5 minutes because it was dead. And I was really excited to check it out. That 5 minute charge lasted 3 days being on. But once connected battery died almost instantly so I charged it for about 4 hours. The instructions do not tell you roughly how long to charge the watch so I may have overcharged it not sure. But either way it was fully charged and while being connect the battery life lasted about 6-7 hours connected to BT.

Overall I am very happy with this U8 Plus Bluetooth Smartwatch! For the price you really cannot go wrong. I definitely recommend this smartwatch to anyone in the market looking to purchase something like this. Or along the lines of a fitbit/tracker! I personally will be using the pedometer the most. As it really motivates me to walk! It tracks your steps and even saves the amount of steps you walked previous. Very neat!! This would also be great for you to get for a young teen & you wont be spending a fortune.

If you have any questions about this smartwatch please don't hesitate to ask!!

My review for the Pure Bliss Makeup Setting Spray with Organic Green Tea, MSM and DMAE - Large 4 Ounce Size!!!

Dries instantly & my makeup lasted all day! I am very happy.,

I am very happy with this setting spray! After I applied my makeup I sprayed my entire face. It dries instantly & it doesn't stink, it has this clean water smell to it. Which is something I am really pleased with! Because others I have tried would smell so bad & gag me. I love how light it feels after spraying it on!

The first time I used it I expected my makeup to melt off because it was so hot. I was sweating & my eyeliner didn't run, my mascara was in tact. And I even patted my face with a napkin because I had sweat dripping down from the top of my head. My face never once sweated which shocked me because I always sweat even when I am not hot. At the end of the night I was impressed that my makeup looked like I just put it on! I was so excited because now I can finally do my makeup everyday without worrying about it melting off, or smearing! No more wasting hours of my time. And the best part is it doesn't cost a fortune & you don't have to spray a ton so it will last a while.

Overall I am completely happy with this makeup setting spray by Pure Bliss. Its exactly as described & performs exactly like it says it should. I definitely recommend it to anyone who wears makeup. You won't regret it!

My review for the Domett Comfy Microsuede Faux Fur Clog Slippers for Men and Women, Ultimate Comfort and Protection, Brown!!!

Very comfortable & keep my feet warm!!!,

I seriously debated on even getting these Microsuede Faux Fur Slippers! The sizes just say small, medium & large. Which isn't much detail. Then you go to the size chart & it gets even more confusing because your like ok I am a 7 1/2 in womans shoe size. Then you look above & it says X-Narrow! But if you go over which would be in inches its like 9 1/2 inches. I clicked out of the size chart & scrolled down to see if the reviews could help me pick & in the Product Description it states.

Small- (25.6 cm)
Medium- (27 cm)
Large- (28.3 cm)

So I then went to google to try & figure out what shoe size would be 27 cm. And a bunch of conversion tables popped up so I went through them all and found that 27 cm in Mens shoes would be size 9 & in womans it would be size 10 1/2. So I then thought maybe I should go with small but then figured usually when I can't figure out the size I need to go up 1 size to be safe. So I chose Medium! It was very difficult trying to narrow down which size to get. And when shopping that isn't something we want to spend minutes/hours doing. And most times we would move on to the next product! I highly suggest Domett find a better way to provide a more accurate way of choosing a size. Not everyone has a tape measurer & I know I am not the only person who doesn't know their shoe size in cm. Well I hope I am not! They could maybe put Small 4-7, Medium 7-9, Large 9-11 etc, just my opinion!

Now to the BIG question did I choose the correct size? I think I did. I have really small wide feet! When I say wide I mean wide. In shoes I usually wear 7-7.5 wide, in slippers I usually wear 7-8! I've never had to pick between medium or cm's. I have a little wiggle room in the front & a little in the back. Which I will post pics so you can see my foot beside them & in them. Now onto the quality of the slippers & are they worth it. For the price I can say there worth it. They come in a nice white draw string tote bag, they have a hard sole on the bottom, which is nice because I can wear them outside & if it rains my feet won't get soaked. I really like the faux fur inside the slipper, not only does it keep your feet warm but its also very comfy without socks on. They have a little padding so your feet won't get sore if you walk in them all day around the house. For me when I walk around my house with out slippers my feet tend to hurt from the hard floor. Plus these have a slight arch so your heel will be a little higher up. Its not a huge arch & you probably won't even notice it. I noticed because I have thoroughly went over these to give the best review possible. For me when shoes/slippers have a arch it gives excellent support so you can be comfortable all day long. Well for me anyway!! I cannot speak on if these would be a good purchase for a man, I do recommend if your a man wanting to buy these to go with the Large. In mens shoes I wear any where from a size 5 1/2 - 6 if there wide & the style of the shoe! So if your feet are this small go with a Medium if there bigger then go with a Large.

Overall I can say I am very happy with these microsuede faux fur slippers. Nice in soft & keep your feet warm! Definitely worth it even after the headache of trying to figure out the sizing.

I received these slippers for FREE in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience!

My review for Physicians Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls, Translucent Pearl, 0.28 Ounce!!!

It gives such a beautiful glow/shine & doesn't over do it! I can wear just this and no foundation, I love it.,

I am so glad I stumbled upon Physicians Formula Mineral Glow Pearls! I purchased the Translucent Pearl 7040. I was originally looking for a skin frost or a good highlighter at an affordable price. I was seeing all these videos of people using highlighters & skin frost & I won't lie I was jealous. I have A LOT of imperfections things that make me very self conscious. I was diagnosed with PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) & have a horrible problem with facial hair! And have been shaving since I was 11 years old. I am not talking about just my mustache but my sideburns, chin & neck area. Plus plucking my eyebrows. Doing my makeup was so frustrating because even after I applied foundation, blush(all over my face) and translucent powder. I could still see the dark black stubbles which is embarrassing for me! That is why I was looking for a highlighter to take the attention off the fact that I shave and how noticeable it is.

When I seen this I thought man that's pretty, and looked at the reviews & the pictures of the results. And immediately needed to try it. So I purchased it! When it arrived I seriously didn't even want to touch it or even open the package. It was so pretty! I took my finger & swatched it and that very moment I needed to do my makeup. The first time I used it I put it over my foundation & powder. I never felt so pretty in my life! I had a beautiful glow & when I turned my face it was so shiny. But not over shiny it was perfect. Mind you I didn't use the brush that came with it, only because to me it is too rough. And a lot of the product was wasted, like it dug at the powder & the powder was everywhere. So I used a powder brush and it picked the product up without having the powder everywhere. And it went on more flawlessly than with the brush provided. I also would like to point out that I wear makeup everyday and I cannot leave my house without wearing foundation & powder. I decided to use just the glow pearls and no foundation to see if it did anything. And it livened my face up while giving me a nice glow & it hid a lot of the things I disliked. I was so amazed at how this product worked alone by itself without anything underneath besides moisturizer.

I am very happy with my purchase and I am debating on going a shade higher to see how well that works even though I know I need to buy another one of the Translucent Pearl because I can't imagine my makeup routine with out this now. And I can finally leave my house with out applying anything but this. I do apply it to my entire face and add a little extra to my cheeks bones! I highly recommend this Powder Palette to anyone who is looking for an added glow without looking blotchy. I can't say that this would be able to replace blush for those that apply blush to the cheek bones. But I can say this would be great to add a little above the blush to really set it off! And I can guarantee you won't be disappointed. Also I think Translucent Pearl would work for any skin tone, & it can work as a highlighter alone!

My review for the Little Beauty Hair Styling Cosmetics Dressing Table Pretend Play Makeup Essential Set!!!

I love that it plays music & lights up, such a great feature.,

I purchased this Little Beauty Dressing Table for my Niece. She just turned 3 years old! She loves watching people do their makeup & tries to pretend to do exactly what your doing. Its the cutest thing ever! It took me forever to try and find the perfect gift & then I ran across this table & thought man she would go nuts over it. I tried to figure out the measurements which I am not good at, and google was not helping me at all. So I went ahead & purchased with my fingers crossed it wasn't too tiny or way to big.

When it arrived I opened the package to make sure all the pieces were there. I looked every where for the instructions but didn't find them. No pamphlet or no illustrations on the box it came in to explain how things went together. But thankfully it was super easy & self explanatory. Maybe that is why there was no instructions. I pulled out the top of the table which includes the mirror & the tray area where the accessories sit. Then I pulled out the 3 legs & the bag of hair styling essentials.

Which are:

1) Pretend hair dryer
2) 4 hair clips(2 Truquoise Butterfly Clips, 2 Purple Flower Clips)
3) Pretend makeup brush
4) Turquoise butterfly hair brush
5) Pink & White beaded bracelet(stretchy)
6) Purple & White beaded bracelete(stretchy)
7) Pretend Hair Styling Gel Bottle
8) Pretend Perfume Bottle
9) A sheet of stickers to place on the tray/table & on the hair dryer.

I then took each leg & slid it in the space under the table. Which they just slide right in & you can pull them out easily which is nice! And then I took a screw driver(screw driver NOT included) & took off the back where the 3 AA batteries go. Batteries are NOT included. Then screwed the back, back on! I then placed the stickers where they were intended to go. Which be very careful because if you don't line it right it is hard to take back off and redo without the sticker ripping. So be patient. Once I applied all the stickers I then turned the mirror on so I could make sure the sound worked & the lights worked. As soon as I turned it on the mirror immediately lit up around it. So make sure you turn it off when your child is not using it. Then I pulled the perfume bottle out and then placed it back in its slot. And as soon as you place it back in the mirror lights up with a heart shape in the center. I thought that was so neat! Also if you push the little switch located on the side of the mirror to where it says down, when you lift the lid where the makeup sticker is not only will you hear music but the mirror lights up with a heart. Such a cool feature & my Niece just kept saying "Ahhh".

The only thing I found I didn't like was that its super light weight. But other than that its such a cool makeup vanity for a small child! I would honestly say 2-4 years old "maybe". It would be nice for a small child to use for their dolls. You could get a nice little chair & a child can place their dolls in the chair & play pretend their a stylist/makeup artist. Other than that I really like this makeup vanity!

My review for 2 NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Set (604,601)Milk,Black Bean!!!

These NYX Jumbo Pencils are a life saver!! I seriously would be lost without them.,

I absolutely love NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils. I've been doing my makeup for years. Ok maybe like 19 years to be exact! But I always did what I thought was a great job at doing my makeup! But about 3 months ago I ran into a couple ladies & their makeup looked like a professional did it. And what bothered me most was their eye shadow & how pigmented it looked. I had asked them in a round about way what brand they were wearing. When they told me the brand I was like wait a minute I use that brand & mine does not even look close to that. When they explained that they applied a eye shadow base then applied the eye shadow! I made them break it down for me.

That is how I ended up buying this NYX jumbo eyeliner set. Not only was I out of eyeliner but they mentioned the jumbo milk by NYX is what they used for a base. I couldn't believe it & then decided I need to give it a try so my eye makeup looks as good as theirs. When these arrived I couldn't even wait I needed to test them out. I never heard of this brand and when looking at my local stores I couldn't find these eye pencils. Or else I probably would have bought them & I probably would have never thought to use them as a base for my eye shadow.

My first thoughts when using them was wow. Because they just glided on and when applying them they didn't clump up like a regular eyeliner would. And when I applied them to my water line I was scared I was going to poke my eye out because there big enough to be in control of. I use the white(milk) more though. Because it works great as a base! When dabbing my shadow on it makes them so much more darker & the shimmers in my shadows stand out much more. And I even noticed my eye shadow lasted all day long! Usually by the end of the night my eye shadow is wore off or super light.

I then ran into the biggest problem, I had no more of the milk pencil left and couldn't figure out how to get more out. So I tried sharpening it with a jumbo sharpener & the pencil/milk part kept breaking and I couldn't get it to a point. Then I thought what if I froze them then sharpened them! And it worked. The eye liner part was hard and sharpened to a point and didn't break no more. After I sharpened them I sat them to the side & it doesn't take long for them to warm back up. I froze them for like an hour then sharpened them sat them to the side for like 20 min. So now I am excited all over again because I initially thought I would have to buy more! That would have been so frustrating because they don't cost a lot but to spend $5-$10 and be out of the product in a few days & have to buy more is just not ideal for me. So that would have been my only complaint. Yes I wish there was an easier way to get more of the product out without having to freeze them. But hey it works!

Overall I am very happy with my purchase & definitely recommend these NYX jumbo pencils to everyone. They can be used for just eyeliner, or an eye shadow base. Definitely worth the price!

My review for Art Naturals Makeup Setting Spray 4.0 oz Long Lasting / All Day Extender - All Natural with Aloe Vera!!!

My make-up only lasted the most 6 hours!,

I have been using setting sprays for about a year maybe longer. And everyone I have used has a smell to it! Not a pleasant smell either. Its bad enough the makeup we use has its own weird smells. Not all but a lot of makeup does have a smell! And then to spray your face & nearly choke because the smell is awful. I had to throw my last one because it smelled so bad & the smell didn't leave after it dried.

I then decided to give this Art Naturals make-up setting spray a try. And the first time I used it I sprayed it on a small area of my face, to make sure I didn't break out. After about an hour I decided to wash my face & put on some basic makeup. I wanted to see how long it would hold my basic make-up before applying a full on face. Basic make-up to me is foundation, translucent powder, eyeliner on my water line & mascara. After doing my makeup I sprayed my face in the shape of an X and a T then sprayed my chin. I do it this way to make sure I get every area of my face! I went outside & did my normal routine of watering the flowers, checking the mail, and reading a book on my porch. And I noticed my nose was pretty moist. I continued to read no wiping my face or anything. I then ran a few errands & came home. When I got home I went to check to see if my makeup was still in tact. When I looked in the mirror I was so upset because my eyeliner was running and my cheeks had streaks going down them. I couldn't believe it! Because when I applied the setting spray it dried matte instantly. And my face felt refreshed! And I was in public looking like this, I thought maybe I did something wrong. So the next day I decided to do a full face. Foundation, Transulcent Powder, eye shadow, eyeliner top of eyelid & water line, drew on my eye brows & blush plus added some highlighting to my cheek bones etc. I then sprayed the setting spray in an X, T & circle. Plus a couple more sprays. Thought maybe I didn't spray enough the day before. I went about my normal day but I decided to stay in the house for a couple hours then attempt to water my flowers & then go do my grocery shopping. About 3 hours in I decided I needed to get what I needed to get done, done! I was gone for about 2 hours. When I got in my car & looked in the mirror my eye liner was on the crease of my top eyelid in the corner of my eye. I had mascara marks(not bad but noticable). I was confused because I sprayed a ton on this time! Gave it awhile to set even though my face was dry & my house is cold. Because I have a central air! I am not sure if it works for some & not others or what. All setting sprays I have used worked cheap & high end ones. I used this setting spray for a couple weeks with the same results.

The only pros this setting spray has is it has no smell, I didn't break out & it does dry matte. When spending so much time doing your make-up just to have it melt off in a couple hours is frustrating. Especially when you have to work or have errands to run. Going out with your friends or partner! That is why I am giving it 2 stars. Because it did hold for a couple hours (4-6 hours) each time. And it doesn't have a smell & dries matte instantly! Just because its not for me doesn't mean it might not be for you! It just didn't work for me. I can't say I recommend it because it didn't work the way it states it should. Its supposed to set your makeup for up to 16 hours but didn't last that long for me. Maybe if I was in air conditioning all day it would. But its not ideal to be able to just sit in a cool environment when you have stuff to get done.

My review for Art Naturals® Makeup Setting Spray 4.0 oz Long Lasting / All Day Extender - All Natural with Aloe Vera!!

 My make-up only lasted the most 6 hours!,

I have been using setting sprays for about a year maybe longer. And everyone I have used has a smell to it! Not a pleasant smell either. Its bad enough the makeup we use has its own weird smells. Not all but a lot of makeup does have a smell! And then to spray your face & nearly choke because the smell is awful. I had to throw my last one because it smelled so bad & the smell didn't leave after it dried.

I then decided to give this Art Naturals make-up setting spray a try. And the first time I used it I sprayed it on a small area of my face, to make sure I didn't break out. After about an hour I decided to wash my face & put on some basic makeup. I wanted to see how long it would hold my basic make-up before applying a full on face. Basic make-up to me is foundation, translucent powder, eyeliner on my water line & mascara. After doing my makeup I sprayed my face in the shape of an X and a T then sprayed my chin. I do it this way to make sure I get every area of my face! I went outside & did my normal routine of watering the flowers, checking the mail, and reading a book on my porch. And I noticed my nose was pretty moist. I continued to read no wiping my face or anything. I then ran a few errands & came home. When I got home I went to check to see if my makeup was still in tact. When I looked in the mirror I was so upset because my eyeliner was running and my cheeks had streaks going down them. I couldn't believe it! Because when I applied the setting spray it dried matte instantly. And my face felt refreshed! And I was in public looking like this, I thought maybe I did something wrong. So the next day I decided to do a full face. Foundation, Transulcent Powder, eye shadow, eyeliner top of eyelid & water line, drew on my eye brows & blush plus added some highlighting to my cheek bones etc. I then sprayed the setting spray in an X, T & circle. Plus a couple more sprays. Thought maybe I didn't spray enough the day before. I went about my normal day but I decided to stay in the house for a couple hours then attempt to water my flowers & then go do my grocery shopping. About 3 hours in I decided I needed to get what I needed to get done, done! I was gone for about 2 hours. When I got in my car & looked in the mirror my eye liner was on the crease of my top eyelid in the corner of my eye. I had mascara marks(not bad but noticable). I was confused because I sprayed a ton on this time! Gave it awhile to set even though my face was dry & my house is cold. Because I have a central air!

My review for Maybelline New York Fit Me Matte Plus Poreless Foundation Makeup, Porcelain, 1 Fluid Ounce!!

A little goes a long way & applies nicely! Medium Coverage + light wieght.,






I ordered this Fit Me Foundation because I have been hearing great things about it. Its so hard picking a shade online so I went with the lightest shade. Which was 110 Porcelain! Which honestly I wish I would have went up a shade because Porcelain was a little to pale for my skin tone. I can never seem to nail the shade that is perfect for me.
Even though it was a little to pale for me there are still a few things I really liked about this foundation. The first thing is that my face didn't feel cakey! And my skin could still breath. Very light weight & I also really like the consistency it isn't to thin or to thick which is really nice. For me it seemed to be a medium coverage, I did play around and mixed one of the other foundations I have been using with this one & ended up getting an almost full coverage foundation. And the shade wasn't so pale. Another thing I really thought was nice is how it dries matte even after mixing with another foundation of mine. Over the years that is one thing I have always wanted in a foundation. Because all the foundations I have ever used would be super shiny & even after applying powder it still had a shine/oily look. It really depends on the weather but most times my skin is just normal. Winter months my skin is super dry & in the summer months its more soft & not oily or dry. Its hard to explain!


I also liked that it is very easy to apply & isn't streaky. What I mean by streaky is with other foundations when blending the foundation would dry and almost look like glue. Basically it would clump and just look awful. And with this foundation you don't need a ton a little goes a long way. Lastly the biggest thing I liked is that after wearing it all day my makeup still looked nice. For some reason when I wear foundation all day long, my forehead will look like I never put anything on it, and in between my eyebrows & cheeks. I even slept with this foundation on too see how well it would hold up & to my surprise it actually stayed except around my eyes. Probably because my eyes water bad when I am sleeping! Not sure why but they do.

If you can't afford the high end foundations I highly recommend giving Fit Me Foundation by Maybelline a try. And if your like me & have a hard time finding the perfect shade you can mix a lighter shade or darker shade until you find the right tone for you! And for the price you really can't go wrong. I also found using a beauty blender/sponge that my foundation went on much more smooth & even!

My review for Besteel 6 PCS Womens Rubber Necklace Chain Double Line Tattoo Choker Necklace Stretch Elastic Set for Teen Black Color 80s 90s!!!

These Tattoo Chokers take me back to when I was a little girl! I love them.,


I loved wearing these tattoo necklaces when I was a little girl. All my school pictures I am wearing one of these chokers! As the years went by I felt like people would start making fun of me because these were old school as some would say. But now that I am older & realize that it doesn't matter what others think. The only thing that matters is how you feel & if you like something then enjoy it. I was so excited to buy these!

All 6 chokers came in a cute little Besteel Jewelry Bag. Its like a suede/felt material. I was nervous my head might be too big to get the choker on. But it fit! These were exactly as I remembered them. These seem like there made of a better quality elastic than I remember. And when you take it off it goes back to being small which is nice. My Nieces who are 5 & 6 begged me for one! Which I really didn't want to share but seeing there is 6 I let them both have one. The excitement on their faces took me back to when I was little. And they looked super cute!! I also love the fact that these are made of plastic & stretch. Metal chokers you have to worry about it being way to tight with these you don't have to worry. I am very pleased with my purchase & I definitely recommend these to anyone in the market looking to buy some tattoo chokers.

My review for the Mirrorvana Vanity 8-Inch Double-Sided Magnifying Makeup Mirror, 1X and 10X Magnification!!!

I find plucking & doing my makeup much more enjoyable with this mirror. Very nice & BIG!!!,

This mirror exceeded my expectations plus more! When it comes to beauty & getting ready for the day, its nice to have a big enough mirror with one side that magnifies. I dislike standing in my bathroom mirror plucking my eyebrows & having to maneauver around a bunch to get close enough & still not get every single hair. Not only that but even when doing my makeup my eyes always look like distant cousins. I finally decided I had enough & purchased this Mirrorvana Vanity 8-Inch Double Sided Magnifying Mirror at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion.

I was so nervous that it would be broken by the time it arrived but to my surprise it wasn't. It was securely packaged & even comes in a very nice box which I am keeping just in case I move I can pack it up with no worries of it getting broke! You do have to assemble it yourself when you receive it. But that is no biggie because all you have to do is screw the top half to the base & its together. Literally takes a matter of seconds! Now onto the things I love about this mirror.

I love the size of the mirror, its perfect to get up close & personal, whether your using just the mirror side or the magnifying side. I like that the mirror flips so instead of completely turning the entire mirror/stand you can just flip the mirror. You can also get different angels with it as well instead of being stuck in one position. For example if say the lighting is too bright or not bright enough just tilt the mirror a little to get different lighting. Another thing I like is it don't slide easily, so you have to pick it up to move it. Which is nice! Overall this mirror is heavy duty, & nicely crafted.

The only flaw I found in the design was how small the base is! With the big mirror on top I am a littler nervous that it will be easy to be knocked over. But other than that I absolutely love everything about this mirror!

I purchased this product at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience.

My review for Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit, Nude - Eye Shadow: 0.26 Ounce, Eyeliner: 0.02 Ounce & Mascara: 0.28 Ounce!!!

Great Colors & Very Shimmery! I love this kit.,



I have a slight addiction with makeup! And Physicians Formula is one of my go to brands. When I seen this Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit I needed it in my life. Not only because its Nude but because I love shimmery eye shadows/liners. So I bought it! I was very pleased when it arrived!

To begin I will start off with the eye shadow palette!

Nude Eye Shadow Palette: They really nailed the shimmery part of the eye shadows. So if your looking for a pigmented eye shadow this wouldn't be for you. But if your looking for that nice sheer shimmery look this palette would be perfect. I like taking a medium shade & applying to my eyelid. Then a darker shade in my crease with the lighter shade more closer to my eyelash line. And to set it off I take the lightest shade in the palette to give a nice highlight to my brow bone. I usually use a white eye shadow but I found the light tan gives it a more natural highlight! Not so obvious. End look is very nice & I definitely get lots of compliments. Now the brush/applicator that comes in the palette I dislike it picks up a lot of the product/shadow! And when applying the shadow most of it stays on the brush/applicator! It may just be me but I really do not like the brush! So I began using my finger until I can find a brush that works! Overall I am happy with the eye shadow palette!


Mascara Duo: There is only one thing I dislike and its that the brown end of the mascara is short. Why do I dislike that? The reason is because when you unscrew it & pull it out to use, the block limits how close you can get to your eyelashes. The block is the square part the brush comes out of! Now the end with the black mascara its long enough to get right in there & get all your lashes without your face fighting with the container. Now if I didn't have to fight with the brown I would have no complaints! I found that this mascara really gets all your lashes instead of a hit or miss or clumping. To me the bristles on the brush are strong but soft and really gets the look I have been wanting. I also like how when the brush starts out its small then big then small almost like a lemon. Oh that makes sense! Also the brush end is flexible meaning it bends instead of being stiff! Very nice & I am very pleased with the quality of this mascara! And to me it really makes my eyes pop.




Eyeliner Trio (Black & Metallic Gold)- I am extremely picky when it comes to eyeliners. Every makeup look I always have a line on top & on my water line. My one pet peeve is after getting my makeup perfect about a hour or so later I have a line in the crease of my eye where my eye shadow is. It gets frustrating especially when your out running errands etc! BUT I have to say Physicians Formula really nailed the quality of the these liners. The one is a jet black with with shimmer & the metallic gold is like a brown/metallic with lots of shimmer to it. They apply nicely! You don't have to apply pressure at all just lightly draw your line. I like to take the metallic gold & go over the top of the black line I do because to me it really gives a nice crisp look while looking completely natural. Its hard to explain! Now when it comes to them lasting 24 hours I do not think so. Yes 12 hours but not 24! You can go swimming & sweat & you will not have eyeliner running which is really nice.(Yes I tested this method out) I am not one who can go to the beach & look like a model coming out. So being able to apply a little makeup I can achieve the nice beach look when coming out of the water. And when the liner gets dull just twist where the eyeliner comes out.

Now when it comes to recommending this Nude Eyes Kit, I would have to say it aims more for the beginner audience rather than the advanced audience. Yes a more professional makeup artist will like these products but a beginner to me would get more use out of them. And this would be a great starting point for a beginner. Just my opinion, overall I am happy besides the few things I mentioned that I didn't like.

My review for the Lipton Iced Tea, Peach (12 Count, 16.9 Fl Oz Each) by Lipton!!!

This Lipton Peach Iced Tea is really tasty! Taste like fresh squeezed peaches.,


This Peach Tea is out of this world delicious! No over exaggeration either. I was shopping one day & was really thirsty. And always grab a pop & for some reason the Lipton Peach Iced Tea caught my eye. I dislike tea, once in awhile I can do a sweetened tea but that is very rare.

I bought it & my first sip I couldn't believe the flavor. It tasted like fresh squeezed peaches, no tea flavor at all. Not even an after taste of tea! By the time I got home it was gone & I so badly wanted more. Went to a few local stores & I could find the multi packs. So I came here & bought 2(12 packs). Waiting for them to arrive was torture.




Since I began drinking this peach tea I no longer drink pop which is a huge plus for me. Each of these 16.9 oz bottles is 1 serving & only contains 100 calories. Being on a 1500 calorie diet that makes me a happy girl because I can drink 1-2 a day & it leaves me with room to have my meals/snacks. Overall I am very pleased with this Peach Tea & I really hope that its not a seasonal flavor because I don't know what I would do if I could no longer buy it.



I definitely recommend this Lipton Peach Iced Tea, to anyone in the market looking for something either healthier or just something to quench your thirst. It is definitely nice ice cold on a hot summer day! You will not be disappointed.

My review for the Eason Eyewear Women's Fashion Designer Cat Eye Sunglasses EYE Styled by Eason Eyewear!!!

I can't go anywhere without wearing these sunglasses, There big beautiful & they sit nicely on my face!,




I have been needing some new sunglasses & I fell in love with these ones! I love BIG sunglasses especially cat eye ones. I was really nervous that these wouldn't be as big as the picture shows and I am not good with measurements so I took a chance & picked the purple lens.

I was pleasantly surprised because they came in a really nice carrying bag/pouch & they even came with a cloth to clean the lenses when they get dirty. That was a plus!



When I pulled the sunglasses out I was nervous but when I did I was very pleased. They are exactly what I expected & much prettier in person. There constructed nicely & they do not feel cheap. The design is very nice & the plastic frame is on the thicker side. Several pairs of sunglasses I currently own the plastic is thin & you can actually bend the arms very easily. With these there solid. These sunglasses feel & look like high quality sunglasses you would pay a lot for. I have received several compliments & random strangers asking where I bought them Every time I put them on I feel extra gorgeous, they definitely give me a confidence boost.



I am definitely pleased with my purchase & I highly recommend them! If you love big sunglasses these are for you.

I purchased these sunglasses at a discounted rate, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion.
