BzzAgent Review for Alpha-Bits Cereal

BzzAgent Review for Alpha-Bits Cereal








I had honestly forgot all about Post Cereals Alpha-Bits. As a child, I found them boring and flavorless. So I will admit that when BzzAgent offered me a complimentary box of it for testing and review purposes, I almost chose to skip the campaign. However, I have two kids, age 8 and 5, and thought I would see what they thought. I am happy to report that I am glad that I joined the campaign. My son absolutely loves it. This is saying a lot because he is a super picky eater, especially when it comes to cereal. I was amazed at how much I loved it too.It also tastes great dry as a snack. My 5 year old little girl did not share the same feelings as my son and I but I was not surprised by her reaction. She has been eating the same kind of cereal since she was 9 months old. She does, however, enjoy playing with it by practicing her sight words that she is learning in Pre-K.
If you are looking for a great tasting cereal, you might consider Alpha-Bits. It provides 20 grams of whole grains and 12 essential vitamins and minerals per serving. It is also low in sugar with only 6 grams per serving.  As a parent, I know how hard it is to find a cereal that is great tasting and wholesome. I definitely feel good about serving Alpha-Bits to my kiddos and would recommend it anyone.

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques





I am a huge fan of Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques. So I was super thrilled to receive it in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox for testing and review purposes. With a huge array to choose from, these masques are jam packed with the most delicious natural ingredients and are bursting with luscious juicy fragrances. Montagne Jeunesse Face Masques have all kinds of masques to choose from which include clays, peels, muds, fabrics, scrubs, self healing, non drying, and many more. They are paraben free, vegetarian approved, and no animal testing.

I received a deep cleaning Aloe Vera and Willow Clean Up Mud  for blemish prone skin. I don't normally have skin breakouts but I actually had a few pimples when this arrived so I was anxious to try it out. As usual, it smelled amazing. It was easy to use. Just cleanse face thoroughly, apply masque, let sit for 10 to 15 minutes, and then wash off. My face felt super clean and soft afterwards. It didn't dry my skin out which I really appreciate. Within a day, my pimples were less red and were starting to diminish in size.

Overall, I really liked the Aloe Vera and Willow Clean Up Mud. I was very pleased with results. Montagne Jeunesse can be found at drugstores and mass retailers for under $2 which is a great price in my opinion.

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal Review

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal




I was thrilled to receive a complimentary cup of Quaker Real Medley Oatmeal from Influenster.  I received it as a part of their Holiday VoxBox program for testing and review purposes. Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal claims that is made of whole grain oats, rye, barley, and wheat mixed with large chunks of real fruit and nuts in a convenient single-serve cup. Just add hot water or microwave and you can a delicious breakfast anytime, anywhere.

I have been eating Quaker oatmeal for over 30 years. I was raised on it and I give it to my own kids so Quaker is a brand that I definitely trust. I was really excited to try out Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal. It currently comes in four flavors: Apple Walnut, Summer Berry, Cherry Pistachio, and Peach Almond. The kind that I received was Apple Walnut. Let me tell you it super delicious. Its sweet apples, tart cranberries, chopped walnuts, and multigrains made it  taste so amazing and it only took 5 minutes to make. It left me feeling satisfied and it only costs around $1.79 per cup so it is affordable. I would highly recommend this product for oatmeal lovers looking for a quick on the go breakfast.

Kiss Nail Dress Review

Kiss Nail Dress Review


Teddy

I was excited to review Kiss Nail Dress that I received in my Holiday Voxbox 2012 complimentary of Influenster for testing and review purposes. Kiss Nail Dress states that it is the ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes. Just peel, apply and shape for a manicure that lasts up to a week. Only takes a few minutes to apply and off in seconds without using remover. No topcoat is needed because it is built in. Nail dress is available in 21 different styles, many featuring 3-D jeweled designs.

I received a full size box of Kiss Nail Dress in the Teddy design. I absolutely loved the colors and design. Each kit comes with nails in varies sizes and a file to remove any excess application. They are easily applied as stated. It just takes 5 simple steps. 

1.   Clean nails with alcohol or nail polish.
2.   File and smooth nails.
3.   Select the size that fits your nails.
4.   Smooth and fold over the edge of your nails.
5.   File any excess.


It really is that easy. They make for a great night out when you don't have time or can't afford a manicure. It is definitely affordably at $6.99 which can be found at drug stores and mass retailers. Mine lasted for several days and were extremely easy to remove. The only con was that I wished they made more in smaller sizes. I have extremely small nail beds which required some work but overall they were easy to shape.

Make sure to check out the Kiss website at:  http://bit.ly/SipR5S to see all their fabulous products. You also get 50% off plus free shipping when you order Kiss Nail Dress from BeautyOnlineSupply.com. Hurry because this offers expires on 1/31/2013!

Eboost Review

Eboost Review





I received a free sample of Eboost complimentary of Influenster in my Holiday VoxBox 2012 for testing a review purposes. Eboost claims that it will boost your mood, focus, and immunity with natural ingredients and no crash. It also states that its premium formula of vitamins, minerals, and super nutrients deliver energy to boost your workout and your life. It comes as a shot or easy-to-mix effervescent powder in four flavors: orange, pink lemonade, super berry, and acai pomegranate.

I will admit that I am not a huge fan of energy drinks. I feel that most are unhealthy and I don't like the jittery feeling that they give me. So I was very skeptical of Eboost and almost didn't even try it. However, after fighting the flu for almost a week, I was drained physically and emotionally. For 5 days, I rarely left the bed and was extremely weak. Furthermore, my head felt extremely foggy from all the medication that I had been taking. Needless to say, things around the house were left neglected. I decided to give Eboost a try so that I could hopefully get a few things done such as laundry and house cleaning.

I received a packet of acai pomegranate effervescent powder. I followed the instructions and mixed the powder with 12 oz of water. I was shocked by how great this fizzy drink tasted. Within 30 minutes, I felt so much better. I finally had energy to do some laundry and cleaning without feeling jittery. I no longer felt weak and I felt really focused not groggy like I had been. I felt energized for hours and there was no crash later on.  I really appreciate that Eboost is natural. It's updated formula is loaded with green tea, vitamins, and super nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and and B-12. It is sweetened with Stevia and contains only 10 calories. 

I would definitely recommend Eboost. I can certainly say that I am now a believer in this product and will be buying more for myself in the future.


Prices:
$28 for a box of 20 effervescent powders
$39 for a box of 30 effervescent powders
$39 for a box of 12 shots

Please go check out Eboost's website :   http://bit.ly/WrjF6M   They have free shipping on all orders over $30!

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine Review

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine





I was thrilled to be chosen to review NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine.  I received it complimentary of Influenster as a part of their Holiday VoxBox program for testing and review purposes.  NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine states that it's pure pigment ingredients create a 3-D gloss effect while Vitamin E provides shine and moisture. It's non-sticky formula creates the ultimate creamy and soft textured feel and is available in 10 trendy shades from neutral nudes, to berries, and fuschias.

I received a free full size NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in the color Nude York City. I will start by saying I am personally not a huge lip gloss user. Over the years I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to find the perfect lip gloss. The perfect lip gloss to me is one that isn't sticky, doesn't dry out my lips, and is long lasting. So I will admit I wasn't holding out much hope that NYC Liquid Lipshine would be any different from all the other products that I have tried in the past However, I was totally wrong.  From the first time I applied it, I knew it was unique. It wasn't sticky and my lips felt super soft. It provided just the right amount of shine that lasted for hours.  I love that I can wear it alone or on top of my lipstick. To my disbelief, it retails for around $2.49 at chain drugstores and mass merchandisers nationwide.

I would definitely recommend NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine to any lady looking for a great, long lasting lip gloss. I am looking forward to trying out some of their other lip colors.

Goody QuikStyle Review

Goody QuikStyle Review



I was thrilled to be chosen to review the Goody QuikStyle Paddle Brush. I received it complimentary of Influenster as a part of their Holiday VoxBox program for testing and review purposes.
I personally am a huge Goody product fan. I have been using their products for over 35 years to style my hair and now use them to style my little girl's hair. So Goody is a brand name that I trust. The QuikStyle Paddle Brush was something that I had never seen before.  It's like a towel and a brush in one. Its super absorbent microfiber bristles removes up to 30% of water as you style so you go from wet to beautifully styled hair faster.  The brush is designed for detangling wet hair, quick removal of excess water, and styling with or without a hair dryer for all types of hair.
I have to admit I was a little skeptical when I first saw the QuikStyle Paddle Brush. However, I was made a believer after using  it for the first time. The brush did help to dry my hair faster.  It was easy to use and moved through my hair easily. I was concerned  that it might make my hair frizzy and staticky  but  my hair was smooth and static free.The brush is lightweight,  easy to maneuver, and is super gentle on my hair. Furthermore, I love that the bristles are made with antimicrobial microfibers to keep the brush fresh.  It can be easily be cleaned by running a wide tooth comb through the bristles to remove excess hair and then washing the bristles with warm water and shampoo.
I would definitely recommend this brush to anyone looking for a great innovative brush. It can be found at most major retailers for around $11.99.

Covergirl BlastFlipStick BzzAgent Review

Covergirl BlastFlipStick Review






I am a huge fan of Covergirl products so I was super excited when I got the BzzAgent Covergirl BlastFlipStick campaign invite. I couldn't wait for it to arrive. When I opened my package, I was thrilled to find not one but three Covergirl BlastFlipStick complimentary of BzzAgent for testing and review purposes.
So you may be wondering what is BlastFlipStick. I know I had never heard of it before this campaign. Basically in a nutshell, it is two lipsticks in one. One shade is a bold, creamy color and the other one is shimmery shade. You can wear them separately or blend them together to create unique lip color. There are currently 13 expertly matched shade duos that retail for $8.49.
The colors I received were Vixen, Stunner, and Minx. Vixen is my favorite because it's two shades are burgundy and pearl pink. The two colors together make a perfect pink shimmery color. I really like the way it feels on my lips. It is lightweight,  isn't sticky, and doesn't dry out my lips. My only con is that I wish it was long lasting. I am use to wearing a 16 hour lip stain so I felt like I was constantly reapplying my lipstick.
Overall, I would recommend it to friends.
