Mary Kay Nourishine plus

From my Winter Cravebox I got my first ever Mary Kay product. It is the nourishine plus lip gloss in red passion. From this one product I would have to say I am on the fence about trying anything else from the Mary Kay line.

  This main reason I do not like it is because it has chunky glitter in it and it feels like sandpaper on my lips. It is the worst feeling ever. If I kissed a tissue after putting it on I could get the yucky glitter off my lips and still have a little bit of the color left. I really like the color but after trying to get the glitter off it is not worth the headache. It took me four times of putting it on, getting rid of the glitter than adding more to get it to the point where I liked the color. The color lasted about four hours with drinking, but once it was faded I went to another brand. It was not sticky or has any nasty orders to it which is a plus to the product.

  So all and all I do not like it and would not recommend it to anyone. I really like the color just wish that there was no glitter in the product, it just messes the whole thing up to me.

 

This is a link to my other blog so you are able to see the color because I am still not sure why I can not add pictures anymore to this blog.

Gold Bond Ultimate

So I got my Winter Favorites Cravebox and I wanted to review the Mary Kay product that was included. I had lots I had to do before hand, but got everything ready set aside for later and now I cannot find it anywhere.  Not a clue in the world on where it has gone. After I get done this review I will start looking for it so I can share that review with you guys as soon as I can.

  Now on to the review, I know this is an older product, but I just found it and am in love with it. It is the Gold Bond Ultimate healing with Aloe lotion. I used a coupon a while back and was able to get a travel size for free to try. After picking it up that day, I set it with the other lotions and forgot all about it until just these last few weeks.

  I live in New England, work as a cashier in a very busy store and am on my feet all day long. All of these things together have made my hands and feet so dry I could not stand myself. I have so many lotions in my stash and I was trying one after another after another until I pulled out the Gold Bond. It is a very thick creamy lotion, once you rub it in your skin soaks it right up and there is no grease left. It has a very soft smell of aloe, which I personally like because I can use it with other perfumes or body sprays and it does not make those scents smell funny. I always have a little one with me no matter where I go and use it often. I have been using it about two weeks and it has made my hands so much softer and no dry skin. I also use it on my feet every night. I think this is my favorite thing to do with the lotion. It just makes my tired feet relax and once I put it on I slip into some fuzzy warm socks and let it work. My feet have stopped cracking and starting to heal up and get nice and soft again.

 

  Hands down this has become my favorite lotion. I love the feel, how well it works, and the smell of it. I have included their links so you can check them out. I love this lotion and give it five stars. I want to start checking out their other products to see if they work just as well, so the Gold Bond reviews should be updated down the road.

  Here is also a link to my other blog if you would like to see photos, for some reason I can not get this site to let me upload photos. I am going to be looking into that now and if I can not fix it I guess I will head to a new blog. http://skybluesilly.tumblr.com/post/39627754838/gold-bond-ultimate

Box's I have gotten

So I have been a little slow at writing lately. Sorry about that, my comp crashed and my phone died. I am a little more together now, but I may not have pics for my posting for a little bit.  This post is just a quick update on some of the boxes I have gotten. First box I got was my Teen Vogue Birch box, which I LOVE!! I am so happy that I picked the teen vogue box; I am not even sure what was in the normal box. Everyone I follow got the teen vogue box as-well. Well this is just a quick list of what came in mine:

1)      Essie’s luxeffects in as gold as it gets. I love the color, and it looks great alone or over color. I have been trying all kinds of things with it to see how I like it best. So far I love it over Sally Hansen’s No Hard Feelings.

2)      Kate Spade New York perfume in Twirl. This is a great fruity, florally type mix. I think it will be such a great scent for the spring. I love the perfume samples we get in our boxes, such a great way to always change your scent to your mood.

3)      Kerastase’s Elixir Ultime.  This works so well in my hair. It makes it super soft, shiny and straight. I was so happy with this I went and got a full size one and I never get hair products.

4)      Tarte’s Lipsurgence lip tint in Lucky. My sister and I are in love with this. It is so fun to use, love the crayon style of it. The color is great for spring and it has become my go to lip color.

5)      Twistband, hair tie in a super light pink. I am not sure what I think about this being in the box, but whatever, everything else was SUPER GREAT and I will use and have been using the hair tie. I just wish it was something different.

All together this was a great box and so happy that I got it. I hope they do more boxes like this in the future.

    The next thing I got was a Cravebox that I won from a giveaway by a1nettie on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/a1nettie). Thank you again, I enjoyed this box greatly. Everyone should check out her Youtube and from there her blog, she is super great and has great freebees and box openings. I do not have pictures of this box because of my phone, but I will link a picture that I found online for it.

 So in this box I got:

1)      Amore Pacific treatment cleansing foam and moisture bound. I have never seen anything like the moisture bound before, it is a spray for your face you can use whenever to help keep your face moisturized.  They both smell super great and I really like how the moisture bound makes my face feel.

2)      ThinkThin bars. One was creamy peanut butter and the other was a mixed nut bar. I got to try the mix nut bar and it was AMAZING. My sister took the other bar on me and I have not gotten to ask her what she thought of that one.

3)      Three packs of Eboost. I have to say that this one is not for me. I tried it and could only stand to take one sip. To me it tasted like salt water with a slight orange taste to it.  So glad I got to try them before buying them for myself.

4)      Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I have not used this yet nor have I ever before. I will say that I love the idea of it and so glad to have it. I am going to skip ironing something next time I have to wash them to see how well it works. If it works well it would save me so much time. I however do love the scent of it. Once I got it I sprayed it I could not wait to at least smell it, lol.

5)      Bic Mark It. We got 6 of them in great pinks and purples. They are a fine point permanent marker. I can never have enough craft type stuff. I love color, crafting and pink so I will find many uses for these markers.

This was another great box. I have been on the waiting list for a few months, but it is always full so I was super excited to get one box while I wait for the member ship to reopen.  I will post all the links again so you can check them out if you would like.
