OXO On Coffee Maker

OXO On Coffee Maker

This is a great 9 cup coffee maker with a timer and sleek design. Coffee stays hot and has a very bold and robust flavor when using this coffee maker as opposed to the coffee maker I prevously had. Very easy to use and all around a fabulous product that I received complimentary from Influenster and the brand to try out and review honestly. I love making my regular morning cup of coffee with this, as well as my afternoon iced coffee. It retails for around $200.

Maybelline FitMe Foundation Matte + Poreless

My FitMe Number is 122

Maybelline really did it with this new liquid foundation with a range of 40 FITME shades 

so you can find one perfect for you. I was testing the product after receiving it complimentary from Maybelline and @Influenster and found it to be outstanding. I am not someone who has ever worn foundation unless I had a hormonal breakout or for special occasions. Now, with this light and airy, perfect FitMe shade #122 Creamy Beige (my shade, indeed) I am finding myself wearing it more often. It flatters my skin without looking caked on or overdone. Looks and feels very natural like I am not wearing anything. I have combination skin and my cheeks tend to have larger pores so I am loving the Matte + Poreless Formula. For a drugstore brand this is a great buy and can be found mostly anywhere 

for just under eight bucks. I hear so many people talk about what they have spent on foundation and they could truly save their money or purchase several of these.  Again, My FitMe Shade is #122 and it is flawless.

Influenster's Jingle VoxBox

Influenster's Jingle VoxBox

 

 This Box Was Filled with Goodies!!

Pure Ice Nail Polish 

In the color Home Run retails for $1.97 exclusively at Wal-Mart.   It is a mint colored polish that is opaque in 2 thin coats, drys fast and lasts for two weeks with no chipping (on my toes). I already own about 100 polishes by this brand! Fabulous color, great coverage and for the price you can't beat it.   

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream 

This moisturizing cream retails for $8.99 - $15.99.  I used it on my elbows, hands and most importantly two  tattoos once they started scabbing and peeling around the fifth day. Extremely moisturizing and healing but I was hoping it would totally keep my tattoos from itching . It did for a little while but I had to keep reapplying. However, it is a fantastic moisturizing cream that I enjoy using. 

Biscoff Cookies  

These cookies retail for $2.99. They taste crunchy and do great with my afternoon  iced coffee. They are not too sweet and I was glad of that as I am trying to lay low on the sweets but they were good, nonetheless.

Hallmark itty bittys  

These cute little dolls start at $6.95. I have the itty bitty Spiderman but I want to get the whole collection! No actually I love them and will probably get all the Barbies, Micky & Minnie, Star Wars and probably 10 more for myself, my lil goddess and my great nephews! These are beautifully made, sturdy (my Yorkie Bichon got a hold to it!) and again their are soooo many too choose from. Perfect size for a stocking stuffer, baskets or diaper bags. 

Ore-Ida Tater Tots

These retail for $3.99 at stores all over. They are gluten-free and made from 100% potatoes. Great for fast snacks for the children or Sunday night football. I was able to make a couple nice recipes from one bag. I lightly pan fried these and made creations after that with cheese, salsa, guacamole and cilantro! My family and friends loved these.

NYC City Proof 24HR Waterproof Eyeliner

Retailing for $3.99 and can be found at Target and other stores all over. I received this in a dark brown, a color I rarely wear, however it was so pigmented and glided on so smooth that it almost looked black! I loved this on my waterline and as an eyeliner period. It can stand next to some of the higher priced brands. This is an eyeliner I will be going back to get in black. $3.99? Wow, what a great deal!

KISS True Volume Lashes & Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive

I have seen these for $3.99 and less at Wal-Mart and other stores. These are made with 100% natural hair and are tapered at the ends to look more natural. I used it with the KISS Strip Lash Adhesive, also retailing for $3.99 and under. They were non-irritating, once I was able to get them on (I don't wear them often) and stayed on until the next day (yes, I slept with them on!). They definitely made my eyes pop so I will be buying more and I have always been a fan of the KISS Brand!

Two New Ways To Itch Less With Curel Itch Defense!!!

New Curel Itch Defense

For the past couple of weeks I have been testing both the Curel Itch Defense Body Wash and Curel Itch Defense Instant Soothing Moisturizing Spray together complimentary from #Influenster. Although I keep my body hydrated with plenty of water, during the winter months my apartment tends to get a little dry and my hands, feet and body need added moisture. I received a 6 oz of the spray and a 1 oz of the body wash.

The Curel Itch Instant Soothing Defense Moisturizing Spray is so concentrated that I still have over a half a can. It is very light and airy.  Within seconds it is blended into your skin so no worries about messing up sheets or clothes. I love the fact that it doesn't have an oily residue or any type of greasy feel. Coming in a spray is much more convenient than a regular lotion pump, making it easier to apply and to travel with. You never have to worry about losing product to spills. I love the secure twist top which makes it pretty child proof, as well. I used this product Along with the Curel Body Wash on a new tattoo that was in the itching stage and it really did provide instant relief in my second week of healing after the scab had fallen off. My hands and feet feel great. My skin overall is loving this product and I like that it is fragrance free so it good for sensitive skin and is very unisex. I give it two thumbs up!

The Curel Body Wash was so moisturizing I even tried it on my sensitive face and didn't have to use my regular night-time moisturizer behind it. My skin didn't feel tight and no residue was left behind. It lathers nicely and when I used it as a duo defense with the Curel Itch Soothing Moisturizer Spray, my elbows, knees, feet hands and legs looked just as silky as the rest of my body (usually those are the area I have to give special attention to!) With that being said. I am totally impressed.with both products. You can see more information at Curel.com.

Totally complimentary I was able to choose any item I wanted and their sizes go from xs-6x!  This is a monthly subscription box that you can put on hold for a couple months or stop completely, however I love it and will be purchasing more. I would show you what I got but a Queen never shows her goods! 

I will tell you it was a lovely black Corsette with beautiful panties!

Colgate Optic White toothbrush w/built-in Whitening Pen

I have been using the Colgate Optic White toothbrush w/built-in Whitening Pen

For about 3 weeks now and I am seeing a slight difference but nothing extremely major yet. Going to continue to use. I love the concept of the gel being built in because I have tried other whiteners that took longer and were not so pleasant. However I can recommend this. 

I also must add that I drink Iced Coffee twice a day.

Colgate OpticWhite Platinum Express White. 

I have been using this for 3 weeks, as well in between brushing twice with the Colgate Toothbrush. 

Again, I  am noticing a slight difference but I will give it more time. I can say that it tastes better than other whitening toothpastes I have tried out.

Just a picture of the Colgate OpticWhite Collection together!

  John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth

I am no stranger to John Frieda and his great products. This Frizz Ease  Beyond Smooth really worked well on my daughter's virgin, tightly,curly hair! No tangles, blow dried nicely and flat ironed very smooth and her hair was silky and smooth for about a week, which was great because she is very active. 

As I mentioned above, a $3.00 off any (2) Beyond Smooth Products also came with this!

Skinfix Repair Cream

Wow! Skinfix Hand Repair Creamcame right on time, I had a tattoo that was healing for about a few days and I started using Skinfix on it to keep it moisturized and stop the itching. The peeling process started soon after, I didn't have a lot of scabbing and my skin stayed smooth and now 21 days later it is completely healed. Skinfix is a hand repair cream and my tattoo (shown below) was on my hand and wrist and part of my forearm. I also use it on my hands and I will say this it one of my favorite products! 

I am a licensed Cosmetologist, retired from hair but I do natural nails 

and I will be recommending this to all my clients! Great Product!!!

My Tattoo with the Skinfix Repair Cream

Healed Tattoo after usage of Skinfix Repair Cream!

Tide Pods + Febreze

This came in a pack of 10 in Botanical Rain. I had been wanting to try the Tide Pods for a while and just never bought it. I love that they joined in with Febreze! The scent was great, Tide always makes your clothes  come out clean, I love the ease of just dropping in a Pod and moving right along! It is a detergent, stain remover, brightener and has long lasting freshness 4in1! You have to use 2 Pods for an XL load. I already priced them at stores and the price point is right on target for my budget. I am so glad @Influenster gave me this product to review because now when go to store, I will be picking these Tide Pods up!

Land's End

The picture is above with the coupons and  I am going to share it after this Blog. To me they have nice clothes for the entire family. I have never shopped with them but 

I have been checking out their clothes on-line and I will probably try to find something to order with the discount code for my Goddess because her 8th Birthday is coming up really soon. Check them out!

Well, That's the end My Royal Ones!

XO VoxBox and Adore Me was a fabulous combo to review. it was filled with all types of goodies. I have received a lot of boxes complimentary from Influenster 

but I think this was the largest and probably my favorite.(I find myself saying that a lot with their boxes!)

I always review honestly and try to use as much of the product as I can before doing my final review.

Let me know what you think of this review in the comment section!!
