Children Picture Book : Animals Tails Review


While I'm not a huge fan of E-books with my children, this book was pretty cute. The book goes on to describe what movement in an animals tail means. It talked about dog tails, cat tails, cow tails, horse tails and many more. It’s 26 pages long and has lots of photography grade pictures. My favorite was "it is believed that horses will die if their tails are cut"...that may have been a little graphic for my toddlers but informative for me :) You can purchase this e-book on Amazon.com

Petunia Skincare Revitalize Eye Serum With Sea Kelp Review


First, customer service was salon quality. They contacted me to ensure I received it and to see if I had any questions. Wow, when do you get service like that anymore! I like the packaging & container. Very practical and no extra fluff (we've all gotten a product where the actuall serum is like 1/5th the size of the box). There is a very light smell to this product which you'd expect for an eye serum but I've had some that were strong and the scent burnt my eyes. I noticed a slight difference in fine lines by my crows feet in just 1 week. You can purchase this product at Amazon.com

Birchbox versus Ipsy - September 2014


I debate each month about which one of these boxes to cancel. They are both $10 a month which means I pay $20 a month for all these items. While I'm not a huge fan of foil packets and perfume samples there is always ONE awesome item each month I just LOVE. This month, from Birchbox I got the Liz Earle Cleanse & cloth and it's AWESOME. You wipe on the cleanse and run into your skin and just wipe off with hot water on the cloth provided. It is easy and quick and leaves you skin ulta clean without drying it out. From Ipsy, I got the Duet brush...I recently started using a brush to put on shadow and this brush is AWESOME!!! It makes it really easy to add in the extra dark and is a must for smokey eye look.

Overall- Another month with both boxes. LOL

Birchbox:
Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée Cologne Absolue - 100ml
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish™ Hot Cloth Cleanser Starter Kit
Davines OI / Shampoo
Davines OI / Conditioner
Davines OI / Oil Absolute Beautifying Potion
Pixi by Petra Breath of Fresh Air Exclusive Lip Balm Set
Acure Organics Day Cream Gotu Kola Stem Cell + 1% CGF

Ipsy:
Infinity Shadow/Crease Duet Brush
NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow
Pacifica Natural Water-Proof Eye Pencil
Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask
CAILYN Art Touch Tinted Lip Gloss

Resist C15 Super Booster Review

I received this product on behalf of Bzzagent. They don't require a blog post but I've tried many of these vitamin c serums and I think this may be the best one yet. The scent is all that great but it did leave a more even tone on my face in 2 days. I moved from the face to my arms since I have a huge cat scratch that I'd really like to lighten up. After a week, I could see a bit of lightening of the scar and hoping by 2 weeks for more improvement.

What makes this product unique?
Resist C15 Super Booster is a concentrated, light-as-water liquid treatment product designed to supercharge your Paula's Choice serum, or it may be used alone. A blend of 15% stabilized vitamin C (l-ascorbic acid) at a pH of 3.0, antioxidant vitamin E, ferulic acid, and peptides repairs visible signs of aging and stimulates collagen production for smoother, brighter, and firmer skin.

Vitamin C also helps protect skin from environmental damage as it evens your skin tone. You'll see dramatically younger, healthier, and more radiant skin in weeks!

Who is this product for?
Resist C15 Super Booster is for anyone who wants to boost the results from their Paula's Choice serum or who wants to experience the benefits of vitamin C when combined with other proven anti-aging ingredients. The formula is suitable for all skin types and also appropriate for breakout-prone skin.
