FaceFood: Plant makeup

Image
First off, I just wanted to say the I love the packaging that Plant Makeup uses, it is so simple and cute. FaceFood is an all natural, GMO-free, handmade clay mask. This clay mask is suitable for all skin types, especially for oily and blemished skin. Upon opening the lid I was hit with a very strong basil scent. I am not the biggest fan of the basil smell it is a bit overpowering for me. upon the smell, the consistency of this mask is very thick and quite sticky. Since the thick and sticky consistency, I used a face brush to apply the facemask. Once I started applying the mask I found it best to apply it in sections. since I used a face brush it was easy to apply and spread it around. After I applied the mask evenly all over my face I left it one for about 15 minutes. Once the 15 minutes where up I got a damp washcloth and removed the mask, it was very easy to remove the mask. Unlike some clay mask the get a little messy once you remove them this one is not like that. After I go...

Aphrodite Palette: Bad Habit

Image
This palette is one of my favorite. The design and the quality of this palette are very well made and have a nice weight to it. All of the colors are soft, pigmented, easy to blend and buildable, some of the shimmers seemed like they were a little softer than the others, but that didn't bother me. When using the shimmers I always wet the brush, to get more a brighter look. One thing that I did notice is that once you pick up and you get a lot of pigment on your bush and you do need to tap the excess powder off or there will be some fallout, as well as in the pan but nothing overwhelming. Another thing that I like about this palette is that it has the ingredient list on the back and that it is cruelty-free and has a 12-month shelf life. I do know that a lot of people are saying this is a dupe for the Huda Beauty Rose Gold Palette from comparing pictures I can definitely see that it is, I don't have the Huda beauty palette myself so I cant compare ...

Athena pallete: Bad Habit

Image
This palette has a good heavy weight, it doesn’t feel cheap at all. The design of the palette is nice. Another thing that I liked about the design of the palette is the It has a big mirror. This palette is cruelty-free and has a 12-month shelf life. On to the actually shadows now. They were very pigmented and soft when swatched with the finger and brush. They also blended out very well. I did notice that on some of the colors in the palette there was a bit of fall out and if you didn’t tap the brush off. So I would recommend putting some powder under the eyes or doing your eyes first. Also with darling the red glitter I found it best to put some concealer down than to put the color down. I did have to build it up to get it how it wanted it. Also with the shade darling, I found that since it is very soft, with just one use it became very indented and looks like I might hit pan soon. Lastly with this color, once you take it off you will have glitter all over your face. Lastly, the thing...

Ultra Smooth Eyeshadow Palette: Just Kolour

Image
This palette comes with 30 shades ranging from a smokey eye to more of a natural eye look with a pop of color. upon swatching the eyeshadows they were very pigmented on my fingers but when I swatched them on my arm some were dull and not pigmented at all while other shadows had a bit more pigment. I ended up swatching them again except this time I used a packer bush, cleaning it off for every time and I got a little bit more pigmentation but not much, I decided to wet the brush with some setting spray and that is when I got the most pigmentation out of the majority of the colors. There where still a few that were dull, but with these shadows, you can easily build them up. I do realize that when you swatch on the arm it is different from applying it on the eyelid. Upon applying them to the lid I found them to be quite chalky/ powdery in the pan with little to no pigment. I will say that they did blend out pretty decent. I am fairly new to the makeup scene. Then with ...

The Roanoke Girls: Amy Engel

Image
The Roanoke Girls is written by Amy Engel. With this book, I couldn't get into it, even after reading a few different chapters I just couldn't get myself to read anymore. Maybe it was the style or how it was written, I'm not sure but it just wasn't getting my interest which is a bummer because the description of the book seemed so great. I might give it a chance on Audible to see if I can get into it that way but from just reading it, it wasn't for me. If you would like to check it out yourself here is the link: The Roanoke Girls "I did receive this book at a discount price in exchange for my honest and unbaised review, all my reviews are my 100% honest opinion."

Lavany Ladys Electric Shaver

Image
I'm just gonna start off by saying that I am truly impressed by this razor.  I will admit that there are a few things that I didn't like but I will get into that later.  the first thing that I liked about the shaver is how easy it is to use. it is perfect for when you're on the go and noticed you missed a spot while shaving, with this razor it is so easy to take care of those spots you missed. the second I like about it is how quiet it is. there is humming sound coming from it but nothing that is unbearable. the third thing that I liked is how gently it is. it doesn't even feel like its shaving at all. I first tested it out on my arm to see how well it would do and I was very impressed. I found that the best way to use it is small circular motions will do the job. it has been a week since I shaved my arm with it and the hair is just now starting to become that pokey annoying stubble. I could easily go another week before shaving it again. I also tried it out on my face...

Retractable Pet Leash

This retractable pet leash is made out of a very sturdy plastic that does not feel cheap at all and has some nice weight to it. For the first time using the leash, it was a little difficult for me to figure out how to use the brake/locking system but once I figured it out it was super easy, and convient. When I first took it out of the box I had my boyfriend do a strength pull test on it, with the locking brake on and it did very good, it didn't even budge or look like it was going to give out. The first time using it for its actual purpose was on my lap who weigh about 70 pounds. I put the leash on him to meet another dog let him have some slack and put the locking brake on and when he pulled away, it felt very sturdy, and the leash did not give at all. The leash I got is recommended for medium size dogs with a maximum weight of 50 pounds. I am very happy with how well it performs on my large size dog, that when I use for my medium size dog I know it will work...

Aliglow Exercise ball

After ordering the exercise ball and it arriving quickly, I've been using it for about 2 weeks know and have no problem with it at all. I will say that the pump is plastic and cheap. the hose that attaches to the pump feels very cheap as well and if not careful I feel like you could easily ruin the hose and the pump. the pump came with one hose and 4 nozzle attachments. Once I got the right nozzle attachment on the hose it took me about 15-20 of pumping to fill the ball completely. I've been using the ball for yoga and regular exercise. I haven't had a problem with it, at all, and that it with me using it almost every day. It's very nice exercise ball, and I would recommend it to anyone. The ball does come with a lifetime warranty and the ball is %100 Non-Phthalate PVC and contains no latex.

Downy Infusions Lavender Serenity

Image
I first tried this out about a month and a half ago when I saw it at big lots or Walmart and since then I absolutely love it. This is by far one of my favorite fabric softeners ever. The Lavender Serenity smell is so fresh and clean, and I love that after washing and drying it you can still smell the scent on the clothes and it just smells so good. I have yet try to the other scents out, I'm sure I'll love them as much as I do this one. if you're looking for a fabric softener that has a fresh and clean smell, that you are still able to smell on your clothes after washing and drying then I would recommend this.                           "this is not sponsored in any way at all, I bought this with my own my own money. All my opinions are my very own."

Lougnee Inflatable Lounger Air Sofa

I upon receiving this I already really like it because I just previously got one. I really like this one better though because it does give a pamphlet one how to use it, how to inflate and how to deflate, and how to care for it. overall its good the only thing is that you'll need a steady breeze in order to use it unless you have an air pump of some sort. if you don't have a steady breeze it is very hard to fill with air. If you would like to purchase one yourself here is the link to do so: Lougnee Inflatable Lounger Air Sofa "I received this product at a discount price inreturn for my honest and unbaised review."

Garsebo Casual Beach Trousers

Image
these beach trouser are amazing, there super comfy and very light weight and breathable. There made from 30% linen, 20% cotton, and 50% Viscose. These pants are great for lounging around to going to the beach. I really like how deep the front pockets are in the pants. the back pant pocket is a decent size I wouldn't put anything in it though. these are men pants but I feel that they are very gender neutral pants. I received a size medium and I fit perfect in them there not too tight, nor too big. I wear a size 8-9 in women bottoms. Overall I think they are very comfy could be worn for going to the beach for a casual look to even lounging around the house, I would definitely recommend these.

Air Lounge Sofa

Once opening the package the air lounge sofa came in a nice carry bag. The carry bag, didn't feel cheap at all, it does feel like the same material like a fold up chair would come in. Once I got it out of the bag, it was way bigger than what I was expecting. Once I got it out of the bag, it came with a picture direction card on how to properly use it. It has two flap that you are supposed to fill with air, one on the top the other on the bottom. Once you got both flap areas filled with air, you'll then roll it to get desired comfort and click it together. It is very simple and easy, that anyone can do it. It is best to use the air sofa on a breezy/ windy day, so that filling it with air will be much easier. The air lounger is very comfortable to sit or lay down on and relax. It will be great for the beach, camping, at home, etc. another great thing about the air lounger is that it has pockets in the side to put your cell phone, keys, water bottle etc. once your done using the ...

Cosfash non-slip yoga toe socks

Image
These socks came in a pair of four. the quality of the socks felt nice, there are a bit thin but very soft. Once trying them on it did fill a little weird for me maybe I never really worn toe socks before. but after walking around in them and doing a little bit of at home yoga I got used to them.  I normally do my yoga barefoot and it sometimes can be frustrating when your foot doesn't stay in place and keeps slipping. Since wearing these socks while doing yoga it did make a noticeable difference, the socks did an excellent job on sticking to my yoga mat.thee are two things that I didn't like and that is,  I wish that the socks didn't come up as high as they do, if they were a little bit shorter it would be perfect and, I do wish the maybe had different sock sizes available instead of one size fits all because the socks fit but just didn't fit like I would like them to be. Since this is my fist pair of non-slip yoga socks I don't have anything to comp...

Sunwukin iphone 6/6s Waterproof case

Image
just like in my last review for the Sunwukin iPhone 6 plus waterproof case this review will be very similar. The case is very easy to put on the phone, for me, it is hard to get the case off. the touch id works great, and the phone is still very usable when submerged into water. the only thing that I could not get to work is the vibrate/ silent switch on the case, it could be just my phone because I have a trouble with it in general. the audio with the case on is pretty good. Overall it is a very good waterproof case that comes with a lifetime warranty. I'm sure that warranty will come in handy for some people this summer. I would recommend getting one yourself and here is the link to do so: Sunwukin Iphone 6/6s Waterproof case "I received this product at a discount price in exchange for my honest review.

Sunwukin Iphone 6/6s plus Waterproof Case

Image
upon receiving the Sunwukin iPhone 6/6s plus waterproof case it came in very nice packaging that did not look cheaply made. Once I got the case out of the package the case felt very nice it felt very sturdy and well made, not cheap, or flimsy. In the package, they included the waterproof earphone adapter and a strap that you could put around your wrist. another thing that I notice that I have not noticed other waterproof cases do is that that have a protecting film on the screen so the case screen doesn't get scratched up while in packaging. the case easily snaps together with no problem. Once I got the case snapped together I did the water test. On the packaging, it says to let it sit in the water for about 30 minutes, but I did it a little longer because I forget about it. there were no leaks in the case, and that was about 5 hours sitting in the water. Another great perk about this case that I love is that you can use the touch id. most cases have that covered up so you are not...

InsideSmarts Delicate Laundry Wash bag

Image
I really wanted to try these mesh laundry bags out and once I got the chance to purchase them I jumped right on it. these mesh laundry bags comes in four sizes two smaller ones and two bigger ones. I use the smaller ones for underwear and socks and for the bigger ones I use it for delicate shirts or shirts and bras. the bags are made with a very nice mesh material that keeps your clothes safe. and a zipper that won't rust. Another feature that I love about these mesh bags is the zipper guard. the zipper card keeps it from clanking around and from opening, I have had these bags since July and I still have not had one problem with them yet. Also with these bags you get a lifetime warranty on them all you have to do is register your mesh bags on their website and if something ever happens to them there are covered. There are something you have to be careful about when using these bags is to not over fill them. If you over fill them, all of your garments in the mesh bags won't be ...

The Art of Racing in the Rain: Garth Stein

Image
This book was amazing, it is told in a very different perspective from the past books I have read and I like it a lot. In the novel, you get to experience how despiteful people can really be just so they can get there way. during the novel, i did tend to find myself skipping over a few pages that I thought wasn't very intriguing. Even though I did skip a few pages I didn't miss anything in the storyline. This novel will get you attached and make you think in a different kind of perspective. Makes you really think is that how dogs really think, and just makes you very curious. Overall I thought this was an amazing novel that took a lot of turns some for better other for worse but with the ending outcome, it really was a tear jerker for me. I would really recommend this to someone who is a dog lover or is just a car enthusiast and loves dogs or just anyone in general, it is an amazing novel. to purchase the book yourself here is the amazon link to do...

Skinny Taste Fast and Slow: Gina Homolka

Image
Skinny Taste fast and slow is one of the best cookbooks every!! I didn't really have time to try the recipes in the book so I gave to my mom and her boyfriend to try out and they absolutely love it. It has tons of healthy recipes that are fast and slow ranging from breakfast to dessert. I never had a cookbook where I liked more than a just a couple things. Plus, it has something that I have never seen in any other cookbook ever, wich is the nutrition info on the recipe. It tells you the sodium, carbs, fat, and a whole bunch more. I find that so help, especially if you are trying to watch your sodium or something it is extremely helpful. Every time I talk to my mom she is always telling me about a new recipe they tried in the book and it always comes out amazing. Even on stuff, they weren't too sure where gonna taste good it always comes out tasting amazing. I would definitely recommend this cookbook to anyone!! it is well worth the price and you won't...

Don't You Cry: Mary Kubica

Image
Don't You Cry gives you a mystery with a dark history. throughout the story, you get to know the characters and their childhood. But as Esther grows up, history comes back and taunts her. throughout the book, you get two perspectives Quinns and Alex's. Through Quinn's perspective, you learn a lot about Esther and a little bit about her past. As the story switches from Quinn to Alex you being to think that one disappeared and reappeared in another, But as the story goes on you being to realize that is not the case. As the story comes to an end it takes a turn you do not expect. I will say I wish the book a better ending than the one it did have, like an extended ending instead of ending the way it did so abruptly. Here is the link if you would like to purchase it yourself Don't You Cry
