Everyday Minerals Review

 

Everyday Minerals is dedicated to preserving the planet Each of their products is handcrafted and contain only the finest ingredients. Founder Carina Menzies believes that all natural makeup products should not cost a fortune and has created a line that is not only long lasting, versatile, gentle on the skin but is also affordable for the everyday woman.

 

I was given the opportunity to review several products from their fall collection.

 

 

Everyday Minerals Blush in Girl Friday and Ambrosia

Everyday Minerals Eye Shadow in I Do Declare, Flourish, and Wild Flowers

Everyday Minerals Brow Defining Kit which includes: Dark Brown Eyeliner, Mrs. Coffee Eyeliner, Rare Silk Eye Shadow, and an Angled Bamboo Brush

 

I do not claim to be an expert when it comes to makeup. I know what I like and I think I do a pretty good job applying my own. I am also not someone that ventures out of the neutral shades of eye makeup so I really loved the eye shadows I was sent. They are colors that I would purchase and wear daily. I have to admit I was a little scared to open up these up. I have never used loose shadow before and I imagined I would make a huge mess. Fortunately Everyday Minerals has created the perfect little container. It has small little holes that your brush can easily pickup color through without creating a colorful dusty mess everywhere. I found that these shadows were easy to apply and work great at creating a smokey eye.

 

The Brow Defining Kit sells for only $10.99 and is perfect for filling in sparse eyebrows or creating a defined brow. I found I could use the Rare Silk Eye Shadow to lighten my eyelids making them really pop. It also works at creating the illusion of bigger eyes. I admit I had a little trouble with the eyeliner, I am used to using an eyeliner pencil or liquid liner. I had trouble creating the even dark line that I usually create. Again I think this works better for creating a smokey lined eye or maybe I just don't know what I am doing. : )  I really love the brush that came in this kit so much so that I am looking into buying some of the larger bamboo face brushes.

 

As for the blush, I went ahead and gave a friend of mine the Ambrosia shade because I found it was much darker then what I am used to. I prefer a subtle rosy glow and I found that Girl Friday gave this to me. It is very easy to get just a slight hint of color or a deep colored cheek with this blush by using a large face brush.

 

I really enjoyed my experience with Everyday Minerals and I would suggest if you haven't already to give them a try.

Kids Calm Review and Giveaway

CLOSED

Winner# 11 latanya t

 

 

Natural Vitality is company committed to helping it's customers enjoy a healthy life.  They carry a range of vitamins and supplements for both adults and children and their website is filled with a wealth of information on natural living. I was given the opportunity to review one of their products, Kids Natural Calm Multi.

Kids Calm is a liquid supplement filled with loads of good stuff that children need. It combines the benefits of magnesium with calcium, Omega 3's DHA & EPA, and 24 organic fruits and veggies that are vitamin packed.

Natural Calm is the solution to both restoring a healthy magnesium level and balancing your calcium intake—the result of which is natural stress relief. Natural Calm has been the best-selling magnesium supplement on the market for four years in a row according to health-food supermarket scanner reports.

I love that this "multi vitamin" comes in liquid form. It makes it easy for your kiddos to take their vitamins. By mixing it in with your child's fruit juice she is none the wiser. My daughter Penelope who surprisingly enough asks to take her vitamins daily loved Kids Calm. I mixed it up with equal amounts of water and and she called it her healthy juice.

I have a coupon I would like to share with you all for 40% off the price of Kids Calm Multi. At chekcout just key in the code kidscalm40 to receive your discount. This coupon code expires January 13, 2012.

Crest 3D Whitestrips Review

I am part of the Influenster team which means I get the opportunity to review products and share them with all of you. Recently I was sent Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects to try out.

Several months ago while visiting with my dental hygienist for a teeth cleaning, I had asked her about professional teeth whitening and she actually suggested these to me instead. She said they worked great and at a fraction of the cost, but I never got around to buying them. So as you can imagine I was pretty excited when I was sent these.

What does Crest claim about these whitestrips?

A whiter smile after just 3 days

Full results in 20 days

Professional-level results at a fraction of the cost vs. light & laser systems

Revolutionary Advanced Seal technology for no-slip whitening

New improved lower strip for more whitening coverage

Guess what? They are telling the truth. These little strips work like magic, I actually saw a difference after only the second application. They really do whiten your teeth and are so easy to use. You have to keep these on for 30 minutes a day for 20 days. That's not much to ask for for a whiter, younger looking smile. You can find Crest Whitestrips at most major grocery stores, drugstores, and Walmart and Target.
