Liquid Lipshine - $2.49
I really really like this lipshine! I talked about it more over here. I’m not a huge lipstick user
simply because I’m constantly drinking water or pop. But this lipshine is not
sticky and doesn’t rub right off. It also smells amazing! I would buy this product
again in a heartbeat!
Quaker® Real Medleys
Oatmeal - $1.79 per cup
My oatmeal was Peach and Almond. It was easy to make and the
peach chucks were delicious! This is a nice easy breakfast option and I would
buy it again. I did prepare by the recommend method of pouring hot/boiling
water into the container and letting it set for 3 minutes. It cooked up nicely
and was thick and not watery.
EBOOST® - $28.00 for
box of 20 packets
My flavor packet was Pink Lemonade. The directions say to
add to 12 ounces of water but I opted for closer to 18 ounces. I do drink of
fair amount of Crystal Light and always add more than the recommended amount of
water so it’s not soooo strong. I tried this at work in the afternoon, when I normally
turn to a pop with caffeine. The powder bubbled up and dissolved very quickly. I
liked the flavor and drank it all. And, I didn’t need a pop like I normally do!
I also liked that the powder didn’t settle in the bottom of my cup; it stayed mixed.
I do think I would have to drink this for a few days to really see the benefit
but I would give it another try.
Not my favs:
Kiss® Nail Dress -
$6.99
These are basically like stick on nails but more of a flexible vinyl like material. I saw other styles of this product via pictures on Instagram and the enclosed directions that were much cuter than the ones in my box. But I’m not complaining – free is
always nice! I don’t usually do my nails but I did test the application
process. It did go on easily, but with short nails I found that filing off the excess made the edge look kind of sloppy. I think with longer nails it would work better.
Goody® QuickStyle
Brush (Half Round Styler) - $11.99
I’m pretty particular with my hair. I have long, straight, thick hair. It usually takes me about 7-10 minutes
to dry every morning so when I saw that this brush could save time I was
intrigued. However, the directions recommend using the brush as you are drying
and I’m soooo not good at that; I don’t even understand how hairdressers do it.
The directions did say you could use it for detangling when wet so I tried that
method. The brush is plastic and fairly light. I felt like it actually pulled
my hair more than the paddle brush I use every day ever has. I think for $12 I
was expecting a little better quality. I like the idea of microfibers within
the brush, but I think I’ll stick to my paddle brush from Avada. It’s the best. But I'm still a goody
Montagne Jeunesse
Face Masks – under $2.00
I thought this was a smoothie sample until I read the
package. I love a good face mask. It’s an easy way to relax and treat yourself to a little spa time right at home. The mask was easy to apply, felt nice, and smelled yummy. After 15 minutes it was easy to wash off. I didn't notice much 'deep clean' difference in my skin; more just like my normal face wash.
I had so much fun testing these products. Maybe you'll give a couple of these a try too! What products have your tried lately that you loved or didn't care much for?
