My Impression: I have been using the Aveeno Positively Ageless Anti-Aging System now for about 2 months. I am 23 years old - soon to be 24 and I like to take preventative steps to my start of wrinkles. I do have some wrinkles underneath my eyes that are very hard to get rid of, but I'm hoping with the usage of this product that it will further prevent them from getting worse. I have been using this product and babying my face a lot using the products in the morning and night as directed. I start off with the Daily Exfoliating Cleanser which is a very gentle exfoliant I might add. It's more of a gel/cream texture with tiny beads that help to exfoliate your face. It's very refreshing in the morning and at night when cleansing my face I do feel it gets rid of a lot of my make-up that my eye makeup remover leaves behind. Next I move on to my morning moisturizer with the Aveeno Daily Moisturizer with SPF 30 which is a little thicker of a consistency than I'm used to for moisturizers, but it gets the job done - I also add a little bit of the Lifting and Firming eye cream to before applying my makeup for the day. I try to limit wearing makeup through-out the week. I maybe wear makeup three times a week at the most. So, it's night time and I'm worn out from a long day the last thing I want to do is wash my face, but I head over to the sink anyway and pull out my Aveeno cleanser wash my face and get ready for bed. I apply the Aveeno Lifting and Firming night-cream which is a lot more thicker than the day-time moisturizer. I feel it's a little thick which I can't really stand in a night cream, but I've noticed a big difference in my skins texture by using all four products. I've noticed my face is a lot more nourished with less dry patches. My skin is a lot more softer and most of all I've noticed a major brightness in my face that I didn't have before. A sort of glow! I've been really enjoying doing my makeup because of the smooth canvas I have to work with despite the occasional hormonal acne I deal with. I have to say for a line that is fragrant which turned me off at first because fragrances in skincare items seem to ALWAYS break me out because I have sensitive/combo/oily/acne prone skin - surprisingly these products haven't affected my skin negatively at least I don't believe. I've noticed more results than bad. I do think however the night cream is a bit to heavy for me so I might switch to a different night cream or serum, but the rest of the line has been great! I would recommend picking this up if you were skeptical before and have my skin type as listed above.

mPULSE GO Speaker Review

mPULSE GO Speaker Review


mPULSE ™ GO Delivers hi-def stereo sound in a sleek little package, so you can amp up your world absolutely anywhere. Stunning design with great sound and battery life. This Bluetooth speaker  is a must have for any serious music listener.

  • Bluetooth Stereo Speaker
  •  Up to 10 hours of playtime

  • DSP- Echo Cancellation – A2DP – HSP
  • Listen to your favorite music and make calls directly from this mPULSE ™ GO Speaker

  • 6W Sound to amplify a backyard party or just a living room decoration with the convenience to    listen to your favorite tunes.

  • 3.5mm Input for non-Bluetooth devices

  • Sleek Simple Design – Flat Grill

  • Available in different colors


My Impression: I have to say I've seen tons of commercials for the new Dr. Dre Beats Pill - so much so that I was sick of the idea of a portable speaker until I got my hands on the mPULSE GO. I guess my initial thought would be that it would be too loud and the bass would over-power the musicians singing, but I was so wrong! The mPULSE GO is one of the most greatest inventions and has been the most handiest gadget I've gotten to test to date. It's bluetooth so I synced it up to my phone without issues and oh my goodness did the sound well SOUND amazing! When sat on a flat surface the sound is so crisp and the volume can be turned up very loud which I like because maybe from all the teenage angst years of me reverting to loud rock-n-roll music blaring into my ear-drums I'm actually going deaf in certain parts of my ears which is a whole other issue. I found that when the mPULSE GO wasn't stable on a table or say on a bed then you got a little bit of vibration from the bass which I can't stand - so if you buy it make sure to steady it unless you like that shattered sound. When it's stable it's near perfect sound to me. I love the fact that it has an auxiliary cable with it so that I can hook it up to my computer. For some reason when I bought my computer the sound on it is TERRIBLE so I thought why not try the mPULSE GO on it and it brought out the sound and kicked it up beautifully. I could finally hear the music and movies playing in crisp stereo sound. The charge lasted me for about a week I would say before having to recharge, but that wasn't with major heavy usage, but more than 5 long movies of usage I would say and then some. The material has that rubberized feel which is nice and sleek. The bottom of the mPULSE GO also has an rubberized grip that prevents the device from slipping or sliding which is a plus. The price retails at around $79.99 which is an amazing price! I think if you are in the market for a bluetooth speaker or a speaker with an auxiliary that's portable or plugin this is your device. I highly recommend!

Purex UltraPacks Plus Oxi Review and Giveaway!

Purex UltraPacks Plus Oxi Review



Introducing NEW Purex UltraPacks - now with the stain fighting power of OXI!

NEW Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi combines the convenience of easy-to-use Purex UltraPacks with the stain fighting power of Oxi.

The Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi formula is so powerful; it works to fight over 101 of your tough stains! The concentrated DirtLift Action formula has 2X the cleaning power in every drop, leaving your clothes so bright, white, and clean, people will start to take notice. Which stains will you tackle next?

Purex makes it easy to fight stains, while maintaining a simple laundry routine. Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi contains a full load's worth of concentrated liquid detergent and dissolve quickly once you addt hem to your laundry. No more measuring, no more mess, just toss it in and go!

Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi offers the cleaning power you've come to expect from Purex at a value you can't pass up. The Purex plus Oxi formula helps fight tough stains while saving you money! In fact the average family could save over $45 a year by using Purex UltraPacks plus Oxi! Who knew saving money could be so simple?

A little reminder for the safety of your babies!: Be sure to keep your laundry pods high up on shelves or in a safe container so that children cannot reach. 

My Impression: My family and I have been using Purex for years! It seems as though Purex is one of the only long lasting detergents where the scent seems to weave into the clothing and last! I recently was able to get my hands on the Purex UltraPacks with Oxi and I was super excited to try this out because my husband is a mechanic and he always walks in at the end of a long hard days work looking like someone dumped a ton of grease on his clothing and body! So the Purex UltraPacks with Oxi claims to do a few things...

  • Fight Stains


  • Dissolve Quickly 


  • Is 2x The Concentrated Formula


  • Low-Sudsing Formula



So what is my take on these claims? I think that it is and does all that it claims! It lifted the dirt and grease out of my husbands clothing which is amazing in my opinion. The scent for these are just a fresh scent - nothing too spectacular, but I will love them for the stain fighting power. Each pack contains 18 loads and I do love the UltraPacks because they are so mess free - I am a little clumsy when it comes to my detergent and lets just say a lot has spilled and a lot has been used up too frequently due to using too much detergent. I like that the UltraPacks are enough for just one load. 




So you've heard me talking about Purex UltraPacks with Oxi and how amazing I think it is so Purex Insiders is letting me host a giveaway for 3 coupons to 3 lucky winners! 3 of you will get a coupon for a free pack of Purex UltraPacks

Diamond Candles Review and Giveaway!

Diamond Candles Review and Giveaway!






What is the perfect dessert that basically has no calories because compared to a whole cake is almost nothing? What's really more like a cake vitamin? Cupcakes are one of our favorites treats for all occasions. Let's enjoy the smell even when we aren't taking our vitamins.


Ring?
Haven't you heard? Every Diamond Candle hides a special ring, valued between $10 and $5,000!

How much is it worth?
If you discover a 14k symbol inside the band, take it to a jeweler for a verbal appraisal.

Sizes?
While random, each ring comes in the most popular sizes.

How long do I have to wait?
Patience is a virtue, but we don't blame you for wondering. It takes about 10-15 hours to uncover most rings. The impatient ones among us use a spoon to speed things along.

Don't they get hot in there?
Each ring is carefully placed in a tiny plastic bag, then wrapped in gold foil for safekeeping.




Diamond Candle in Cupcake




The REVEAL!



Beautiful, but only costume jewelry! Ah, well maybe next time!

My Impression: Diamond Candles is super fun. You order your favorite scent, but you not only get a deluxe candle you also get the chance to get a *RING* worth between $10 & $5,000! Now, unfortunately mine was only a $10 ring and I didn't need an appraisal to know that because after wearing it for two days my finger turned green :( which is kind of sad because I absolutely loved the ring and it also was a PERFECT fit which was really lucky! I feel as though Diamond Candles are best suited for smaller rooms in my own opinion because when I placed this DC in our living room - it barely had any scent to it. I mean of course every now and then id get a whiff, but when transferred to our say 'smaller' bedroom then the scent was very fragrant and what I like! I like very fragrant candles. The surprise of jewelry more than makes up for the strong scent lacking - of course I could have just gotten a dud scent and the others may be stronger. I've heard a lot of people rave about how great these smell.. I will have to buy another in a different scent to see if id truly recommend them, but for now I say give it a go! You might be lucky and be one of those who get a *RING* worth $5,000!

My Impression: I really love this SwaddleDesigns Blanket. It's very versatile in the fact that it's made for swaddling, but you can also use it as a regular blanket or a throw for breast-feeding which I find is lovely because you get the modesty if you wish. I love the little designs on the outside of the giraffe and the elephant - they are too cute. I cannot wait to see the sweet little boy that gets to be swaddled up in this soft beauty. It's truly such a soft and light-weight blanket.. so best used indoors at bedtime and the Summer. Don't get me wrong you can also use this in the Fall - just make sure your baby is well bundled :) I love SwaddleDesigns variety of blankets, clothing, towels, and more! They just have a ton of cute items on their website for your little bundle of joys! If you are wondering why a Swaddle? Women have swaddled their babies for a long time - the swaddling mimics the arms holding the baby so that when the baby is placed in their crib or sleeping place they can feel safe and secure as if they are in their Mother's arms therefore getting a better nap. Also, when the baby is in a swaddle they are less likely to scratch their faces as their arms are tucked away into the Swaddle. Also stars like Ben Affleck, Gwyneth Paltrow, Anne Heche, and Brad & Angelina have been spotted with Swaddle Designs for their babies & you know what they say about movie stars - Nothing, but the best!

My Impression: These two collections are absolutely AMAZING! I'm not saying that not all Zoya polishes are amazing, but these two collections I have been the staples for the start of FALL. They scream FALL! I've been wearing Channing, Sailor, Giovanna, and Luisa for the past couple of weeks non-stop. I love these colors especially the new top coat Luisa - it's been one of my favorites to layer over almost everything. It gives that gold plated foiled look to your nails that just reminds me of Fall's falling leaves. The opaqueness of these collections are stunning. I needed two thin coats for maximum coverage. I even got some extras for my youtube giveaway I'll be having just so that my subscribers can enjoy the amazement that is Zoya!
