Clairol Nice & Easy Root Touch-Up Review for Vocalpoint and Giveaway

First, I want to thank Vocalpoint for my blogger kit in which I received 4 coupons for free boxes of Clairol Root Touch-Up and a Gift  Card.

I purchased Clairol Root Touch-Up in Black as I colored my hair a month ago with John Frieda Precision Foam in Blue Black. I have never used a root touch-up before as I usually just let my hair grow out and then when I'm tired of looking at the grays, I do my next coloring.

 Here is a picture showing my grays along my forehead. I've had these since I was in my 20s. Oh joy! :)

Here are my grays at my temple. I have them on the other side as well. I guess that is what happens when you get older! 


 Here is a picture during the process. It was very simple. It was a little bit messy, but what hair color product isn't?!?! I left the product on for 15 minutes as my gray hair is very color resistant! The directions were very easy! You just mixed to bottles together in a tray with the color brush and then you apply. After the wait time, you just rinse it out. It said you could use your own conditioner after completely rinsing the product and that is what I did. I was a little surprised that a little tube of conditioner didn't come with it, but that is okay.



 Here are the results. It covered all my grays nicely and it matches the color perfectly that I still have on my hair! I'm not sure if I will use a root touch-up from now on as my mood in hair colors change, but this is always an option to keep available. Please excuse my eyebrows, that was a project for today!

 
And now for the good stuff!! 3 lucky readers will win a coupon for a box of Clairol Nice & Easy Root Touch-up in any color that you want that will be mailed directly to your home. Giveaway is open to the residents of the United States and Canada.

  Win It

GoGo squeeZ AppleApple Review

 I received one GoGo squeeZ 4-pack carton of AppleApple pouches from Smiley360 to try out. I was a little leery of trying these because my children are picky about their applesauce. I put them in the fridge to get cold and lo and behold, all 4 pouches were gone in 10 minutes! My children said they were delicious!

I like the pouches because I can throw them in my purse, my children's backpacks, or they can just carry them around. They are very portable and taste good either cold or room temperature. It is all natural, 100% fruit and gluten, nut & dairy free. This is what sold me and that my children loved it.

You can "Like" them on Facebook to get a $0.75 coupon and follow @GoGosqueeZ on Twitter for special offers & latest news. You can check out this link to get more info and a few links to check out.

Alpina Greek Yogurt with Artisan Granola Review

This is my review on Alpina Greek Yogurt that I received for free from Smiley360.com to try out.

I don't like normal Yogurt, but Greek Yogurt is very good. You can even use it in recipes. I made an Enchildada Casserole using Alpina Greek Yogurt. I took it to a Pot Luck Dinner and got rave reviews. Normally, I'm not a very inspired cook, so I thank you Alpina for the great reviews that I received on my casserole.

There are so many different recipes that you can use Yogurt in that it is mind boggling! I'm not going to list any here as there are just so many and I can't choose just one!

This is also great just by itself with the added Granola. My children like to take it to school for a snack.

ARM & HAMMER Advance White Extreme Whitening with Stain Defense Review


I received this from Smiley360 to try out for free. I was a little skeptical at first as I have tried numerous toothpastes that say they will whiten my teeth. Well, this one didn't work either. I did like the flavor, but that is about all that is good about it in my opinion.

It has Baking Soad and Peroxide in it to help with giving you a whiter and brighter smile. I really wish it would have worked, but I'm guess I'm still on the hunt for a toothpaste that will actually give me whiter teeth!

Anyone can sign up to be a Smiley360 member. I have been one for several years and have loved all the free products that I have received, but this one.

Dr. Scholl's For Her High Heel Insoles Review






I've been using the Dr. Scholls For Her High Heel insoles for a few years now and I don't know what I would do without them! I have a pair in all my high heels that I own. I like being able to wear my heels longer without having to take them off and rub my feet.

They are very easy to use and you can reuse them in other shoes, but I don't really recommend this as they lose their stickiness after a while. In some high heels, they do need to be placed differently, but if you put your foot in first, then you know where to place the insole.

I have been telling everyone about these as I just love them! I haven't found any other insole that works for me or my high  heeled shoes.

I would like to thank +Influenster for my complimentary insoles and all my other goodies they have sent me!

Emergen-C Review

Emergen-C is the fizzy vitamin supplement drink mix that offers a fun and fruity way to help you out! They offer so many different flavors that you are bound to like at least one of them!  I received for free from Smiley360, 5 packs of Emergen-C in the flavors: Cranberry-Pomegranate, Pink Lemonade, Raspberry, Super Orange, and Blueberry-Acai.

I have tried them all and really loved the Raspberry flavor. The fizz does take a little getting used to as I don't drink fizzy things. I went out a bought a box of the Raspberry flavor for my children as they loved the flavor also.

It completely dissolves and is great tasting. What an enjoyable way to get your Vitamin-C. Although Orange Juice is still my number 1 way!

You can get your own free sample by going here. If you go here, you can get a $2.50 off coupon. This link will take you to a place to find out everything about Emergen-C.

BIC Mark-It Permanent Markers - Review


I would like to thank Smiley360 for letting me try these out for free!  I had fun looking for craft ideas to do with these markers.

I liked all the colors in the kit and I also received some herbs and pots along with the markers.


The children had fun tearing out the stencils. We had to try them out to be sure they worked! :)

We had fun decorating our pots and planting the herb seeds. I liked how the markers don't run when they get wet. I can't wait to see some green sprouts soon!

You can go here to see more information and for a $2.00 off coupon.

My Review of Bonine






I received this product for free from Smiley360 to try out. I'm glad I received this as we are traveling as I write. We are headed up to the Grand Canyon to do some site seeing. I have really horrible motion sickness and I have been trying to find a really good medicine that works without making even more nauseous than I already am!

I took one chewable tablet (you can take up to 2, but I like to take the least amount first). It is supposed to work for 24 hours. I was surprised when I took a Bonine an hour before we headed out. I was actually able to look outside at the scenery and not get sick. My husband kept checking up on me just to be sure that we didn't need to stop anywhere!

Bonine protects against nausea, vomiting or dizziness.  You can check out this link to get more information, FAQ's and a coupon so you can try this out for yourself.

If you suffer from motion sickness and haven't found a product that actually helps with all your symptoms, I recommend you give this a try!

Tom's of Maine Wicked Cool Toothpaste Review

 I received this for free to try out from Smiley360. You can click on the name and sign up too. I think everyone should get something for free!

My children loved this toothpaste. It is hard for me to get my children to brush, but the flavor of this, just draws them into the bathroom.

They tried the Strawberry flavor, but didn't really like that too well. I think we will be sticking with Wicked Cool from now on!

5 Different Nutrition Bars Review

Promax Fit 'n Crisp
Pure Organic Bar
Promax Pro Series
Kind Bars
22 Days



 I received all 5 of these nutrition bars from Vitacost to try out. I put them all together as they all basically do the same thing, give you protein in a bar!

When I workout in the morning, I don't like to eat a heavy or big breakfast, so I eat a nutrition bar to get me going. I enjoyed every last one of these. The flavors were great, but I really enjoyed the Pure Organic as I just LOVE blueberries! I usually eat a nutrition bar and a glass of milk. I love my protein also!

They filled me up enough to get me to lunch, which is what I look for in a nutrition bar. And it also helps when you are counting calories! Which I do also!

My children really aren't that into nutrition bars, but when they tried these, they wanted more, especially the Pure Organic Blueberry. I didn't even want to share, but I had to or I would have had a fight or even tears going on!

I will be purchasing more of these as they are good and in a good price range.

Beautiful Curls Shampoo Review







I received this free from Vitacost to try out and I am amazed!

 My 11 year old daughter swears by this! She said, and I quote, "I like this shampoo. It makes my hair straighter and then, overnight, it curls up." I have noticed that her curls are more defined. She has White and African American mixed hair and I have been looking everywhere for something to make her hair soft and manageable. I think we have found what we have been looking for for 11 years!

I used this on my hair, but I didn't notice anything. Probably because I only have wavy hair!

I will be purchasing more of this as I like to keep my daughter and her hair happy!

Redmond Clay Products Review




 This was taken directly from the website Vitacost:

     "An Old Home Remedy - Redmond Clay has been used for generations to help support digestive health. For thousands of years, primitive people carried a ball of clay with them in their packs. Some of this clay was dissolved in water and ingested with their meals. Clay was the natural medicine used by the natives for fighting many stomach ailments, dysentery and food infections.

Many years ago, long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a range of volcanoes erupted - sending volcanic ash into the water of the ancient Sundance Sea that covered much of North America. The water in this sea evaporated, leaving behind a bed of mineral-rich bentonite clay. Near the small town of Redmond, Utah, we extract this ancient volcanic ash, now resting deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state. Redmond Clay contains more than 50 natural trace minerals essential to human health."
(Disclaimer
These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.)
 
This clay can be taken internally or used externally. I have not taken it internally as I'm a little scared to drink something called clay, but maybe in the future I will try it.
 
I have  used this externally as a poultice on insect bites, a boil, and a sunburn. It worked on all of them. The insect bites didn't itch after using it. The boil is smaller. And the pain from my sunburn went away. I must say that I am amazed at this product. I love anything that is considered a home-remedy as I do not like taking or  using any type of OTC medication or even a prescribed one for any issues that I may have.
 
I'm glad I have some left as I got sunburned again yesterday and now I can go put some of this on and go about my day. 
 





I must say that I liked this product. It went on kind of clear, but dried into a brown color. This Mud is ready to use as the clay is already hydrated. It is all natural with no chemicals. It can be used for facials, acne, deep cleanse, remove impurities and tones skin.

I've used this once a week for 2 months and I love how my face feels after using it. It leaves it soft, supple, smooth and toned. It did leave my face a little red as it pulled out all the impurities, but that went away after about an hour. It usually takes me that long just to get dressed and ready to go anywhere, so I don't look too silly with red blotches all over my face!

If you are looking for a Facial Mud, this product is for you!

Reading Glasses Review


I received these to try out from Vitacost.  I have never used reading glasses before as I normally wear prescription glases so I can see. My eyesight seems to be getting worse as I'm nearsighted and I have to remove my prescription glasses just to see up close.

I tried these on and surprise, surprise. I could see up close! They have a cute flower design on them and the number on them is +2.50. They came in a cute little eyeglass case also. They are sturdy also. I've dropped them a few times and they haven't broken yet!

I took them to Church with me and received a lot of compliments. I let them know where I got them from so they could get some also.

My children keep trying to borrow them, but I won't let them even touch them. I love these little glasses!

Natural Vitality Kids Natural Calm Multi



I received this free to try out from Vitacost and was a little skeptical that my children would actually drink it. I opened the lid and smelled it and I know I wouldn't drink it myself. It smelled like Flintstones Vitamins, but in a liquid form.

It has 24 Organic fruits and veggies, Omega-3, DHA, EPA, Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Calcium and Magnesium. It can be given to children as young as 3 and as old as 13, or at least that is what it said. I have a 16 year old in the house and she has not tried it yet!

I have a 7 year old, 11 year old and a 13 year old who have tried it and didn't really like it. You are supposed to take it with food, but when they tried it, it was just drinking it by itself. The next time they tried it, it was with food and they like it a bit better that way. The food helps mask the flavor.

It did calm them down and I was surprised by that as my children are bouncing off the walls constantly! I'm sure their teachers appreciated the calmness!

Overall, I would recommend this product and plan on buying more as it actually worked for my children.

Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Soups Review






I received this product free from Smiley360. I received the soup in the picture, but I went out and bought the other 6 flavors. What follows is my opinon on each.

1. Tuscan Style Chicken & White Bean Bisque- Really didn't like this one as I don't like white beans. It did have a lot of veggies, meat and beans.

2. Kickin' Crab & Sweet Corn Chowder- I like Corn Chowder and hate Crab, but this was good! I couldn't even tell I was eating Crab!

3. Tomato & Sweet Basil Bisque- This is basically a Tomato Soup with Basil. It was pretty flavorful and very rich with a few mini chunks of tomato. Reminded me of my Grandmother's Tomato Soup.

4. Braised Beef Stew- I have always loved Beef Stew and this was delicious. It had enough of meat and veggies to actually make this a real stew!

5. Portobello Mushroom & Madeira Bisque- Oh My God!  I am a mushroom lover! This was so good that I went out and purchased 4 more!

6. Southwest-Style Chicken Chili- This had the right amount of "kick" to it. I love spicy foods and this was not too spicy, but had a little bit of a "kick" to it. I just added some crackers to it as I always eat my Chili with crackers.

7. Roasted Chicken & Chardonnay Bisque- This was a pretty good soup also. I love chicken and there was enough in there to fill me up.

Actually, all the soups filled me up. I ate them for lunch. You CANNOT cook them in the container that they come in, which is not good, unless you keep or take a bowl and spoon with you to work. I work from home, so these were convenient for me!

Overall, these were delicious soups and I would/am going to get more!

L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream

I sort of know what a BB cream is and have used a few, but was still leary of using them as I always had issues with them.

When I used this one, it was no different. Maybe I'm just not makeup inclined or what, but I have never known how to put on makeup. I gave it a shot and this is what I thought. It did cover all my imperfections, but it felt "heavy" on my face. I knew it was there and I prefer a makeup that I can't tell is on there.

It was easy to apply as the nozzle on the dispenser is very tiny and dispenses a little at a time if you don't squeeze to hard! You just dot it on and then blend in with your fingertips. It is white when you dispense it, but changes color after you rub it in.

The L'Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream has 4 beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all day, and corrects and evens skin. It gives sheer coverage needed to create a natural, bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits.

I am going to try to experiment a little bit more with it and I think it can be awesome, but like I said, I am not makeup inclined. I feel like a newbie sometimes, but I used to wear makeup all the time in high school (but that was a long, long time ago!)

It retails for $10.95 for 1 fl. oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide. Click here to find out more.

Book Review: Hiding In Sunshine


DON"T CLICK TO LOOK INSIDE! :)


 "Living lives of quiet affluence in a historic, suburban Boston town, Gavin and Lisa Brinkley had no idea how quickly and decisively their lives, and those of their two young daughters, could be upended. A series of events - a mysterious break-in at their home, some menacing tailgating on the highway from Boston, a startling visit from an F.B.I. agent warning of an imminent kidnapping attempt - leads to the family's abrupt uprooting from its comfortable existence into a terrifying new existence on the run, under new identities."

I received this book from Influenster and all opinions are my own.

I love reading books! That is what I do whenever I have a spare moment. I normally don't read paper books as I love my e-reader, but this looked interesting, so I read it when I received it the same day. It did start out a little slow, but it picked up to where I couldn't put it down! The characters are more realistic instead of just good or bad. It is written by a father-daughter combo.

I don't want to give too much away, but  you can go here:  http://amzn.to/WgCTvI to read others reviews on the book.

Orajel Single Dose Cold Sore Treatment







I received this from Smiley360 to try out and I am being compenstated for my review. Had to get all that out beforehand! :)

This product arrived just in time as my husband is always getting cold sores. He was my test guinea pig! LOL He started using it after he had had the cold sore for a few days and it worked! It says to use this product at the first sign, but I think you can use it later if you happen to forget to pick up some or forgot you had some hiding in your medicine chest!

He was very surprised at how much faster his cold sore went away. I think we have a new Orajel Cold Sore Treatment user.

2 vials come in one package and one is for the treatment of the cold sore that you have and the second vial is for any potential of recurring cold sores or a second outbreak. You only need ONE does to get rid of the cold sore. How neat is that?!?!

You can go to this link: http://smiley360.com/847494.cfm to get more infomation and a coupon. Who couldn't use a coupon??

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+

Quaker Real Medleys Apple Walnut Oatmeal+


I received this for free in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox. I was a little leery of trying it as I don't like oatmeal, but this was pretty good!

It is chock full of crunchy walnuts, delicious apples, tasty cranberries, and wholesome multigrains. It is very easy to make, just add water and microwave.

It comes in a convenient, portable package so you can take it with you wherever you go.

It comes in 3 other flavors: Cherry Pistachio, Peach Almond, and Summer Berry. When I go to the store next, I'm going to try the  Summer  Berry!

NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City

 
Me in my Nude York City Liquid Lipshine

I received NYC Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City from Influenster in my Holiday VoxBox. I love using this lipshine! I use it by itself or over my other lip colors as it is a Nude color. It gives my lips a very glossy look that I love.

The NYC Liquid Lipshine has pure pigments in it to give it a 3-D effect that is out of this world glossy. They have tons of other shades that I can't wait to try out.

This lipshine is non-sticky, has a nice scent to it, a flexible applicator and a wonderful price! You can purchase 2 or 3 of these for the price of just one lipstick! The lipshine seems to last forever. I don't have to keep reapplying this like I do other ones.

Overall, this is a wonderful product that you should be using! Well, in my opinion anyway! :)

Kiss Nail Dress



I received these nail stickers in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox. I love leopard/animal prints, so was very excited to get to try these!

They are very easy to put on, but I did have a little bit of a problem trying to figure out what size to choose. They say that they will last up to a week, but one of my nails (the pinky) fell off, but the others were still holding on tight. I was very surprised at this as my hands are almost constantly in water.

They are stickers so you can just peel, apply and shape. They give you everything you need in the box. You do not need nail polish remover to take them off. Just peel off. There was some sticky residue left on my nails, but I just washed my hands a few times and voila! they were beautiful once more! :)

These come in 21 different styles with 28 strips in each package. They don't dry out, so you can save some for later if you like. You can also cut the strips into designs and put over artificial nails or painted nails. My children painted their nails and then cut out designs. They were cute either way you wear them!

Montagne Jeunesse Masques

Montagne Jeunesse Crushed Raspberry Fruit Smoothie Deep Pore Cleansing Masque


I received this in my Influenster Holiday VoxBox and I love it. I've tried several of their products and have liked all of them. I also like the colorful packaging that they come in. Very eye catching.

While using this, I felt pampered and it smelled good too. They only use natural ingredients in all their products and they are suitable for all skin types.

After washing the masque off, my face felt refreshed, cleansed, and softer. I also noted that my big pores were smaller.

These masques are simple to use. For this masque, I had to wash my face, put on masque (wait about 10 minutes), then rinse off. It did get hard on my face, but that is okay. It wasn't uncomfortable.

Goody QuikStyle Half Round Styler



I received this Goody QuikStyle Half Round Styler from Influenster in my Holiday VoxBox. It looked a little weird to me, but I must say that it does work!

It works like a towel and bursh in one. The super absorbent (and antimicrobial) microfiber removes 30% of water from wet hair to help speed up your drying time. After blow drying my hair with this brush, I had no static in my hair. When I just use it to brush my wet hair to let air dry, I still have no static. You can effortlessly detangle right out of the shower and continue using it while you blow dry. This is a very versatile little brush. (I have long hair, to midback, that is layered.)

It does come in a flat paddle if you perfer that, but this made my hair straight when I was blow drying it. I hate the time it takes for me to straighten my hair with the straightner, but this aids in cutting down that time.

You do have to keep it clean though. I clean mine after every use. I take all the hair out and then blow it dry some and shake it. You can also use shampoo on it, but I haven't used it that much yet!

EBOOST from my Influenster Holiday VoxBox


I received this free product of EBOOST from Influenster in my Holiday Vox Box. All opinions are from my personal experience with this product.

This is from the EBOOST webiste about the Pink Lemonade Natural Energy Booster: "The Natural Energy Booster that's tart and smart. EBOOST's pink lemondade isn't loaded with sugar and artificial flavors. Our effervescent power packets are boosted with green tea, vitamins, super nutrients and Stevia, giving you a refreshing and energizing twist on a classic summer beverage."

I totally agree with these statements. I put a packet into a bottled water and it dissolved quickly and tasted very good! I have always loved Pink Lemonade and this tasted just like it. It was  also fizzy, which is an added bonus. I didn't crash from this like you sometimes do with other energy products.

I think I have found a new way to get energy and extra vitamins! This was an awesome product!

Influenster Holiday VoxBox 2012



First off, I would like to thank Influenster for my Holiday VoxBox 2012. I love getting goodies from them as they are useful and awesome.

Here is the list of items I received. They are all the ones in the picture.
     1. Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal - I normally don't eat oatmeal, but wanted to try this as it came in my box and I must say it was pretty good!
     2. NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City - I received this same shade last year and love it. I like the nude color because I can put it over my other lipsticks to give it a nice shine. Very rarely do I wear it alone because you can barely see it, but that is okay!
     3. Kiss Nail Dress - I must say I LOVE the animal print! I am an animal print fanatic and when I received these, I squealed a little bit. I haven't tried these yet, but have used other products by Kiss and I liked them, so I'm going out on a limb here and say that I will like these also! :)
     4.  EBOOST - I am all about getting energy in liquid form. I use all different types of energy/focus powders to add to my water bottles and I loved trying this out. I will say that it worked for me, but I know that everyone is different!
     5. Goody Quikstyle Brush (Paddle or Half Round Styler) - I received the Half Round Styler. I thought it looked kind of funny when I looked at it and wondered how well it would work. Well, it did dry my hair a little bit after towel drying. I'm not a big hair drying fan. I prefer to let my hair dry naturally. Maybe in the future I will use it with my hair dryer and see if it works that way too.
     6. Sole Society Coupon - I haven't used this one yet as it doesn't expire until the end of January 2013 and my birthday is the 20th. I now have an excuse to buy myself some much needed boots!
     7. Montagne Jeunesse Face Mask - I'm not a big face mask kind of girl, but I love these! They come in cool packaging that just make me want to open it and put it on right away, which I did! I loved the scent and how it left my face so soft and smooth.

If you haven't already signed up for Influenster, I recommend that you do it now! Everyone deserves a cool box with awesome goodies in it!  And best of all, it's FREE!
