Jouer Lip Sheer Review


"To empower women to look and feel beautiful with a stylist's approach to modern, effortless beauty for everyday and every occasion, offering the most wearable colors, quality formulas, and intelligent packaging, customizable to best suit an individuals lifestyle."

That is the mission of the Jouer cosmetic line. The 133‐item collection consists of cosmetics for your face, lip, eye and cheek, and also includes makeup brushes, cosmetic bags and their latest body butter.

I was given the opportunity to review Jouer's Lip Sheers with SPF 15 in 2 different shades.

Features:
·        4 sheer wearable shades

Benefits:
·        Protects lips with SPF 15
·        Vitamin E and Aloe Vera to lock in moisture 
·         Moisturizes, nourishes, and protects

Packaging:
·        Slim chocolate tube

 Sale Price:
         $22

The two shades I chose to review were St. Tropez (a sheer shimmering bronze nude) and St. Barths (a sheer coral red). I was very impressed with these lip sheers. As the name implies they leave a sheer tint of color to your lips. The color is very noticeable but not over done so you can wear these anywhere without ever looking or feeling like your overly made up. They leave a touch of gloss to your lips and a are very moisturizing. I love that they have added SPF as I never think about protecting my lips when I leave the house but I realize it is important. These have replaced my former lipsticks in my purse so I always have them on me and can touch up anytime I need. I have been alternating between the two colors because they are both great. If you are looking for a nice sheer lip color with a lot of shimmer then these are perfect. You can purchase them online.

The Rebound Review

The Rebound
Want to cuddle up this winter with a captivating comedy, and learn that age is just a number. The Rebound stars Academy Award®-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones*, one of my favorite actresses, and oh so hunky Justin Bartha. Together they show us it's never too late for love! 
Upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, Sandy (Zeta-Jones) and her two kids move from the suburbs to pursue a new life in the big city. There she meets Aram (Bartha), a local coffee shop employee whose wife only married him as a means to getting her green card. The two strike up a friendship which eventually evolves into something more. But it isn’t long before they’re faced with the big question - “Is this real or just a rebound?"

My husband and I both enjoyed this movie. It was a great movie to snuggle up to with some popcorn and a glass of wine, after the kids were put to bed of course! The nice part about this movie is it isn't your typical romantic comedy, it had a few surprising twists to it. I recommend this movie for your next date night!

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's the Rebound is out on Blu-ray and DVD now!

Costume Discounters Review




Do you have a little girl that loves to dress up? I do! My little princess just turned four years old and she loves waking up in the morning and searching through her dress up box to find the perfect outfit for the day. Sometimes it's Rapunzel, sometimes it's Pinkalicious, but it's always girly and as she puts it "sooo beautiful". This must be a little girl thing because all her friends love to dress up too. In fact, whenever we head over to a friends house for a play date the first thing the girls do is head for the dress up box and deliberate over who is going to wear what outfit.

When I was given the opportunity to review an item from Costume Discounters there was no doubt in my mind what I was going to get. A new outfit to add to Penelope's dress up box of course, I just wasn't sure which one. When I visited the site to make my choice I had no idea I was going to have such a hard time deciding. Costume Discounters has so many cute costumes for girls. I decided I needed some help looking for the perfect girly girl 4 year old costume and so I propped Penelope on my lap and we started shopping. The first thing she wanted to look at were the princess costumes. They have some great ones like this Child Princess Rose Costume that she absolutely loved.
Then she asked to look at the Disney costumes. Oh my, this was her candy store and after looking through all the costumes at least 3 times she finally decided on this, because it was beautiful, sparkly, and came with a tiara.



The Shimmer Disney Princess Tiana Costume has been such a hit since we received it and not only with Penelope but with her friends as well. You should have heard the little girls on Penelope's birthday when they saw the dress for the first time. "I don't have a Tiana dress", "It's Tiana Tiana!", "Ooohh Aaahh".

If you have a little girly girl that loves playing dress up I would definitely checkout Costume Discounters they not only have Disney and princess costumes but they have so many more. From popular cartoon characters, to cute animals, and everything in between. I know little boys like to dress up too and they have some fabulous costumes for them as well. Does your little guy like pirates or cowboys, superheroes or ninjas? They got it! And Costume Discounters is not only limited to children's costumes they also have fun costumes for adults. For your next party or just for fun!

Visit them online, the prices are right and they ship quick!

Neutrogena Review

Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Smoothing Cream is a nice addition to my face washing regimen. During the winter months my skin becomes dry and sensitive, it is hard to find a moisturizer that will sooth my irritated skin without it feeling greasy. Many moisturizers for dry skin leave a greasy buildup that is not pleasant. The Ultra Gentle Smoothing Cream gives me a rejuvenating feeling without the grease! It is very soothing and leaves my skin feeling moisturized and smooth. I just massage the cream onto my face and neck morning and night and the cream does it's job! No more flaky sensitive skin!

Neutrogena® Ultra Gentle Soothing Cream is a soothing daily moisturizer specially formulated for even the most sensitive skin. It's clinically proven to instantly calm and soothe skin while visibly reducing redness. Formulated with Chamomile and Feverfew, it strengthens skin's moisture barrier so it's less sensitive after just 1 week of use. Skin is left smoother, more supple, and healthier looking with daily use. With an allergy tested fragrance uniquely developed for sensitive skin, skin is left feeling calmer, softer and smoother.

Zents Spa Review

Everyone needs to pamper themselves sometimes but not all of us can make it to a spa or afford a spa treatment. How about buying a few spa products and having some spa time at home? You know that little extra time you get after the kids go to bed? Why not put it to good use. You can even get your husband involved, even guys like a little pampering now and then. With Zents spa products you will feel relaxed and refreshed in the comfort of your home without paying a high priced spa.

I was given the pleasure to try some of Zents wonderful products. The first one I tried was their sexy and intoxicating Ore Shower and Hand wash.

Scented with bay laurel, clove, black pepper, bergamot, iris, violet, and jasmine, this wash has a nice scent with a masculine hint to it. Both my husband and I really enjoyed it! There was something relaxing about this smell.

Zents Ore Shea Butter Lotion was a perfect follow up to the wash after my shower. The smell will stay with you all night or day and leaves your skin feeling very soft.


I also received one of Zents body oils. These are great for an evening in with your husband. Who doesn't like a nice bottle of wine paired with a nice message? These body oils are perfect for just that. The Sun Body Oil was warm and some how sensuous. With the blend of vanilla, blood orange, grapefruit, sandalwood and amber I just melted into my message and you will too. Close your eyes and breathe in the scent and you will feel like you are in one of those high priced spas!

These relaxing spa treatments and more from Zents are great anytime but let's not forget Mothers Day and Fathers Day will be coming up shortly. These would make fabulous gifts! Check out the Zents collection online.
