HuMn Wallet Review

The HuMn Wallet was designed to be the next evolution in wallets. Made out of aircraft grade aluminum or Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber, you’ll always be making a statement with your HuMn Wallet, while keeping your cards protected against RFID theft.

I was sent a HuMn 2 wallet for review in Orange. I was pretty excited about giving this to my husband Chris to try out because he has a tendency of not wanting to carry a wallet around. He usually just puts cash or whatever he needs in his pocket and I am always afraid it is going to get lost. It has happened and I often find money in his pockets while I am doing the wash. Score! This wallet is for the minimalist, the person that doesn't want to carry a big bulky wallet when they don't have to. It comes in a variety of colors, in aluminum or carbon fiber, and even a mini version! Aside from this wallets small package and hip look one of the other features it has is the ability to protect against electronic theft. The aluminum plates shield your credit cards from EMI and RFID scanning. So how exactly does this wallet work? Check out this video demonstration.



Pretty cool huh? Fathers day is just around the corner and this would make a nice gift for that tech savvy dad, or that on-the-go young adult, or even that ultra hip teenager. The HuMn wallet is not just for men though. It's great for women too! Have you ever gone to an amusement park, sporting event, street fair, or concert and have not wanted to lug your big ol' purse around. I know I have had several instances where I just needed some cash and my ID  and usually when this happens I end up asking someone else that is with me if I can stuff my things in their bag, I know annoying right? Or I ask my husband to carry it for me, in his pocket of course. Or I just walk around miserably with that extra weight on my shoulder. This wallet is the perfect solution for those times. It is also fits great in your new stylish but small clutch!

You can get your HuMn 2 wallet online now.

Sally Hansen New 7-in-1 Complet Salon Maicure Review

 

A breakthrough way to maximize your manicure. As the ultimate color authority, Sally Hansen has always been at the cutting edge of nail innovation. First, Sally Hansen introduced the first-ever polish to deliver five steps of a professional manicure with the Complete Salon Manicure collection. Now the nail care leader is upping the ante with two additional benefits—gel-like shine and chip-resistance—for the ultimate 7-in-1 formula.

 

 

 

I love getting my nails done just as much as any other girl but keeping up with it can get really expensive. I still like going in every once in a while to get my nails done but Sally Hansen New 7-in-1 Complete Salon Manicure is a great way to get that salon look without the expense. I love that this line allows you to use only one coat and your done, even on the darker colors. With the craziness of being a mom working or staying with the kids, it's nice to have a quick and easy way to pamper yourself every once and a while for next to nothing.

A unisex fragrance, Unbreakable Love  is  designed for a man or a woman. Their newest fragrance, Unbreakable Love represents the next evolution in Khloé and Lamar’s love story. This fragrance was created to remind couples that the most valuable thing you can hold on to in life is each other.

Unbreakable Love comes in a beautiful blue bottle and really is a timeless fragrance that both my husband and I love.

Costume Discounters Review

A year ago I was given the opportunity to review one of Costume Discounters many costumes. It was a beautiful Princess Tiana dress that my daughter still loves to this day. Recently I was given another opportunity to add to Penelope's dress up closet. Costume Discounters has so many choices it was hard to decide on one costume. My daughter loves to play dress up and she loves anything princess. Costume Discounters has every princess costume imaginable. After searching through their huge selection my daughter finally spotted the one she wanted, this adorable Snow White Costume. After all it was the one princess costume my daughter was missing. Since receiving this costume my daughter has been prancing around in it anytime we are home. She loves it!

Whether your little gal likes dressing up like her favorite cartoon character or a fairytale princess Costume Discounters has the perfect outfit. The choices are almost limitless. They even have some manly costumes your little guy will love, from superheroes to ninjas.

That's not all though Costume Discounters also carries a large variety of adult costumes and even ones for your best friend Fido.

Tell me this isn't the cutest thing you've ever seen! Costume Discounters prices are also very affordable and currently they are offering 20% off when you use the code FUN20 at checkout. Yeah Halloween is still six months away but dressing up and pretend play is fun for kids all year long. Just ask my little girl Penelope, also known as Snow White, Rapunzel, Tiana, Cinderella...

Be sure to like Costume Discounters on Facebook.

FNS Hair Thickening Products and Review

Osmotics Cosmeceuticals is a leader an anti-aging products for both skin and hair. Their products can be found at high end department stores like Nordstroms and Dillards. FNS is their line of hair thickening products.

Stress, hormone fluctuations and the natural aging process can decrease the follicle's ability to receive and process nutrients. Osmotics award-winning line of FNS hair care delivers a clinically proven mixture of anti-aging vitamins, minerals and amino acids to the follicle. The result? Lush, Thicker, Shinier Hair.

The FNS hair care line is a 3 step system which includes Revitalizing Shampoo, Revitalizing Conditioner, and Follicle Nutrient Serum. They target thinning, fine, and damaged hair with a mixture of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that promote strong healthy hair.

I was sent FNS Encore the Follicle Nutrient Serum that has been updated with a new formula enhanced for better penetration and performance. I am not familiar with the original serum but from what I have read it is a clinically proven and award winning product. I have very fine thin hair so I am always eager to try any product that claims to help with this problem. I have been using the serum for a couple of weeks now. Even though it is applied to the scalp it does get onto the hair at the roots and tends to weight it down a bit and feel a little stiff at first. I find if I brush my hair at the roots or rub with my fingers I can alleviate this and get it looking normal. I can't really say I have seen a difference in my hair, although it's been only a couple weeks. I wish I would have received the shampoo and conditioner for my review as well since this is meant as a 3 step system. I might just break down and purchase these. In my opinion it is worth giving these products a try especially if you are desperate, like me, to find a solution for your flat, fine, thinning hair.

The Art of Shaving Review

The Art of Shaving offers a variety of shaving products for men, from classic razors to luxurious shaving kits. The Art of Shaving has become the best-selling men’s brand at high-end department stores.  

I was sent two of their kits for review and my husband was pretty excited about this.

The 4 Elements of the Perfect Shave Starter Kit

This kit includes a weeks worth of shaving essentials that contain 100% Pure Lemon Essential Oil.  A Pre-Shave Oil, Shaving Cream, After-Shave Balm and a Badger Shaving Brush. So you can Prepare, Lather Up!, Shave, Moisturize.
 
My husband really liked this kit. He especially loved the lemon scent and how gentle the products were on his skin. He has very sensitive skin and was surprised that these products did not irritate or cause breakouts. This kit actually lasted longer then a week, my husband tends to not shave on a daily basis. We also received the Carry On Kit which is the TSA approved version of this kit for traveling. It's packed in a clear pouch with a zip top closure. This is perfect for my husband who travels for work on a regular basis.

The Art of Shaving has some great products that would make awesome Father's Day gifts and Father's Day is just around the corner. You can purchase online or find a store near you that carries The Art of Shaving products.

Mary Kay Makeup Review

Mary Kay is a well known name in cosmetics that has been around for many many years. It seems as of late I have been hearing a lot about the company and it's products. You probably know or have met a Mary Kay consultant in your life, I know several. Still it wasn't until recently that I actually tried Mary Kay. I first tried their NouriShine Plus Lip Gloss and thought it was a great product that I continue to use today. When I was given the opportunity to get the word out about several more of their products I was eager to do so.
 
 

 

· Mary Kay Eyeliner in Steely ($12) This long-wearing, ultra-creamy formula glides on smooth for waterproof, smudge-proof and fade-resistant wear.

· Mary Kay Creme Lipstick in Rich Fig ($15) This stay-true formula glides on easily with a lightweight, creamy texture for rich color impact that lasts. Vitamin E and a Vitamin C derivative helps defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals.

· Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color in Shy Blush ($10) For a soft appearance that won’t compete with eyes or lips, the Mary Kay Mineral Cheek Color is famous for its oil-absorbing properties, ease of application and excellent coverage. Containing Vitamins A, C and E, it also helps to protect against wrinkle-causing free radicals.

              · Mary Kay Lash Love Waterproof Mascara ($15) Make your eyes pop with this brand new 

               waterproof formula that contains exclusive Mary Kay Panthenol-Pro Complex.

 

 I really love the eyeliner and how easy it is to apply. It glides on almost like a felt tip marker and is very easy to create the perfect line. It stays on all day and I have to use makeup remover in the evening to make sure it is completely gone.

The lipstick is very creamy and moisturizing. I have to apply it a few times throughout the day as it tends to wear off. I felt the shade I was sent was much darker then what I am used to but still a very pretty and deep purplish red.

I have only used the blush a couple of times as I don't normally wear blush and I am not sure that the shade I was sent is right for my skin tone. It goes on with a powdery finish and is very light and blends easily.

Lash Love is my favorite of all the products I was sent to try. The first couple of times I used it I noticed my eyelashes clumping together, not pretty. After I moved the brush up and down in the tube a few times the mascara seemed to get a better consistency. This mascara really makes my eyelashes stand out and look long and thick. Even my husband commented that this mascara was so much better then my previous brand. Really, he did!

You can find all of these high quality Mary Kay products online or via your local consultant.
