Baby Alive Super Snack doll

Disclaimer: I received these beautiful Baby Alive dolls from the Spark Review program by Walmart for Testing purposes. These were sent to me complimentary to test and review for free.


I ordered 2 of these dolls because I have a daughter and niece who would absolutely LOVE and adore them. Plus with Christmas coming up these would make perfect gifts. These Baby Alive dolls does everything from eat, to you changing it's diaper to talking. Perfect for the little princess who loves dolls and playing mommy. Comes with a few accessories in the box. Would be great Christmas and Birthday gifts for the little Princess in your life. Can't wait to see their faces light up.

Walmart Beauty Box (Fall 2015)

Received the Fall Beauty Box from Walmart earlier this week and I am happy with the items that I have gotten. The $5 is definitely worth it being that I got a nice Fall shade of lipstick from Revlon and the Hydro Silk razor, the box basically pays for itself. You cannot beat $5. Here are the items that I received in this box. Cannot wait to try everything out.

Jergens in-shower lotion- Love this product. No need to rinse and no need to apply lotion. Leaves skin feeling nice and smooth.

ACT- Mouthwash leaves mouth nice and clean and breath fresh

Biore Charcoal cleanser- This 1 min cleanser is the TRUTH ! Heats up as you massage it in and once you wash off cools down and leaves skin feeling extra clean and smooth

Revlon Lipstick- Perfect Fall color

Walmart Beauty Box (Summer)

I came across the Walmart beauty boxes from doing a random beauty subscription search. Walmart sends out 4 seasonal boxes (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter). The boxes are FREE you just pay $5 for shipping. Not bad right? I signed up last week and this week I received my beauty box.

In my box:
*Vaseline Healing serum- AMAZING ! Non-greasy formula and it smells so good. Leaves your skin nice and soft. Definitely will be switching my lotion to this. And they gave me a nice size 6.8oz bottle. I was happy about that.

*Rimmel Show Off in Aurora- Not a big fan of the color but you get a full size product.

*Neutrogena Healthy Boost facial wash- Sample sized. Leaves your face nice and smooth. I love this brands products any ways.

*Aveeno protect & hydrate- Sample sized. I wish this was a full size product. Definitely a great moisturizer and it is a sun protectant. Definitely needed in this NC heat.

*One Direction You & I perfume sample- Smells so freaking good !

Everything comes packaged nicely in this little box and shipped right to your front door. Can't wait to see what the Fall box has.

We ordered the Hearts Tutu dress that came with a super cute hair clip

Jay was super excited to grab the mail today and even more excited to try the dress on. We got a size 10 and it looked a little snuggled but she said it was comfortable. I'd probably go one size bigger. The clip was super cute. Here is my princess being silly. (Not ready for her to be an Internet celeb lol).We can't wait until the 1st day of school.

July Glambag

I got my July glambag and this is my LAST glambag from Ipsy. I have been so disappointed with the bags I have been receiving these past few months. I have redone the test a million times and still I have gotten products that are useless to me. Now here is my last and honest review on Ipsy.

When I signed up in Sept (2014) I was excited. Who doesn't want to try beauty products for $10 a month? A few of the bags I have received I liked and most I thought, "what were they thinking?". Some of the products inside the bags were great and some as I stated were useless to me. I either have thrown them away, given away, or their in a draw collecting dust. You take a test and that determines your products. I have taken the test a million times and the same stuff received every month. Ipsy also have it where you can get points for reviewing and in return you can order stuff with those points. First, the selection of goodies to choose from is slim to none, the stuff worth ordering isn't in stock. I ordered what ever they had left, which was a BB cream. I received it this month and the expiration date was Aug 2015. I get my bag mid-month so that leaves me with under 2 weeks to use this product. Definitely a huge waste ! I decided to cancel my monthly subscription. I rather find something else or just buy products full priced and full sized. 

Now to review the bag:
*Tweezer- My favorite product in the whole entire bag smh 

*Boscia B.B. Cream- I used my points to get this product and was excited that it was a full sized bottle. I was highly disappointed that it expires Aug 2015 which is less than 2 weeks from now. I do like the product. Wasn't thick. Went on nice. Nice bronze effect. Liked it a lot. Sucks it expires next week smh

*Gel effects polish- So in order for this to work properly you need the base & top coat. I like the fact that no UV light is required. I didn't have a base coat but I had a top coat I bought, Sally Hensen, my nail chipped a day later. I also did my toes with this and a week later it's still nice.

*Nutrient Dense antiaging lip balm- Kinda like this lip balm. Just a lil oily.

*Octavio La Play- This is some sort of hair product, I have no idea what it is even for so I put it on Edivv to trade it with someone.

Swim into Beauty- June

This month's theme is Swim into Beauty,  June's ipsy bag. Sorry I am super late with it, better late than never right !! The bag itself is simple and cute. Nothing flashy. With the name of the theme, I'd expect something more beachy or pool themed, but oh well, still nice bag.

Contents:
Pure Brazilian leave in conditioner-
Smells awesome, didn't have to use a lot on my hair. Decided to air dry my hair so I'll see the results in a few hours. Will update.

Update 6/28

Left my hair really soft, I like it! 

TrèSTique mini shadow crayon-
Not a big fan of crayon shadow but will review another time

Smashbox photo finish foundation primer-
This went on very smooth and it was very lightweight. I love this product. I love the glow I got once I added my foundation & bronzer on. Definitely a must add to my collection.

Absolute NY, nail polish-
I so love this color. I had something similar on my feet. I love turquoise and it is perfect for the summer. So beachy. My favorite item in the bag so far.

Dr . Brandt, pores no more, vacuum cleaner-

This is one of those things where you have to keep trying to get the full effect and real results. I will have to come back to it. Only thing I can say, it does what it says, turns blue and cools the face. It did make my skin really soft after using it. Will have to update with more pics and a real review.

Urban Decay high-color lipgloss

I got a free sample out of my May Ipsy glam bag. I was super excited to try it out. My colors were Failbait (pink)& Bittersweet (purple).

Failbait is a beautiful color but a little on the light side for me. I even added lip serum & primer and still light. Thankfully I was able to try before spending  $22 on a lip gloss that I wouldn't be too happy with.

Next up, bittersweet! I'm in love with the new purple lip trend and definitely wanted to try it before going out and spending crazy money and it not look right on me. This is why I love the ipsy bags. You can test them before coughing up the money. Anyways,  again, looks much darker in the bottle but I loved the way this looked on me. Definitely a must for my collection =)

***Ipsy is a beauty monthly subscription, $10 per month,it is paid for by me. Items in glam bag are not free and I'm not paid to review the products***

Remington Dryer and Flat Iron

Through the Spark Review program from Walmart, I received a blow dryer and flat iron to review. I am not a big fan of the Remington brand because I feel they only catered to those of Caucasian ethnicity. I am mixed and so are my kids, so when it comes to hair products, because of our naturally thick and wavy hair, most products do not work. BOOOOO ! I was excited to give this a try though.

The products I received were the Ultimate Smooth collection. As you can see, the model is Caucasian, so naturally she has smooth hair per say. I tested this out on my daughter, who as I mentioned is mixed. She is of Puerto Rican decent and my family is Cuban Jamaica, yes crazy hair !!! I started with the blow dryer just to smooth things out. I love the fact that this dryer has 3 settings, Low, Medium and High and it also has 2 settings on Temp and a cool burst button. It's a beautiful purple with glitter color. I was able to smooth my daughters hair on Med setting and normally I have to on High. When I got done with that, I used the matching Flat Iron and let me tell you guys this, this is now my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE flat iron. Forget a Chi or whatever else high brand flat iron that is out these days, this is the truth ! Lol. I so love it. It is digital. It heats up very fast. And I didn't have to put it on a high setting to smooth out her hair. It was frizz free and beautiful. I am so happy that I decided to give it a try. Remington has truly changed my mind on their products. Definitely a worth trying. And those with that hard to manage, curly/wavy unruly hair, you should give this a try. I wasn't disappointed. I will be using this on my hair as well.

A+ Remington 

Wish I had a before pic but here's an after pic. I decided to use it myself and I'm in love. My new fav styling tool =)

Nuture Voxbox

Today I am reviewing the Nuture Voxbox that was sent to me complimentary by Influenster to review. Again these products were sent by the company, free, I did not pay for the item and I am not being paid to write this review.

In the Box:
 Attitude Color Protection Shampoo
Blue Lizard Sunscreen
Red Vines Twists
Non-Drowsy Naturals Dramamine (Motion Sickness pills)
1 Sample Packet Blue Lizard Sunscreen Sport
1 Sample Packet Hada Labo anti-aging facial mask
Coupon for Ore Ida Easy Fries (Free)
Coupon for Uncle Ben's Flavored Rice (Free)

Red Vines:

Both my teen son and I decided to try this first. I thought it would have tasted like Twizzlers but it was a little different. I am not fond of the taste too much, my son didn't like it either. Was a bit on the tough side to chew as well.

Blue Lizard Sunscreen:

I tried this product on my daughter especially since she has sensitive screen and this is made particular for that. It wasn't greasy, it is Fragrance and chemical free. I love the fact that it has Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide in it. My daughter burns very easy and with her being outdoors and with this on, I felt she was protected from sun burn. Definitely will be adding this along with the Sports formula in to our Sunscreen regimen.

Attitude Shampoo:

Normally I stick to my shampoo that I have been using for years. Being of mixed ethnicity most shampoos just does not work. I decided to give it a try and it's not so bad. It smells AMAZING ! It's like a nice citrus smell. After shampooing my hair, it felt like it really cleaned it. It was nice and soft and easy to manage right after. This shampoo is also a Vegan product.

Uncle Ben's Flavored Rice:

We tried the Brown Rice with our dinner and loved it. We normally get the Par Broiled Rice from Uncle Ben and it's awesome. I knew this boxed rice would taste just as yummy.

Ore Ida Easy Fries:

This is normally my 1st brand of choice when buying fries. Just stick in the oven a couple of minutes and it's ready to go. The Easy Fries is even better. Stick in the microwave for 3 minutes and you have delicious crispy fries, we topped with Cheese and Bacon.

I did not get to try the motion sickness pills because the only time I get sick is on a boat, so the moment I get on a boat, I will definitely try this out and review it.
