CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY LYPSYL INTENSE PROTECTION LYPMOISTURIZER!!!

Suggested Retail Price: $2.87 to $2.99

     The LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer was one of the complimentary products I received in my Naturals VoxBox 2012 for testing and review purposes from INFLUENSTER. I received the original minty flavor and I am in love with the refreshing minty smell. 
     Created with pure Swedish beeswax, organic shea butter and vitamins A and E for long-lasting, deep-penetrating moisture and lip care protection. LypSyl Intense Protection LypMoisturizer™ helps moisturize, soften and protect your lips naturally. The unique one-hand slide allows for quick application. And, the oversize application tip ensures this ultra- light formula spreads evenly for better lip coverage.  It comes in two flavors, original and HoneyBerry.  You can find LypSyl at Drugstore.com, Walmart, Walgreens, CVS Pharmacy and Rite Aid.   

 

   Here are the essential facts:   

Minty Flavor -- Refreshes

Coconut Oil -- Moisturizes

Organic Shea Butter -- Heals & Protect

  Vitamins A&E -- Softens & Heals

 

It comes in a fun beige, oval shaped tube that has a cute littl 3D honeybee slider on the side for raising and lowering the product.

My Sophia loves the little bee on the side so much that she snatched it from me as I was using it.  This lipbalm really hydrates my lips and I only have to put it on once in the morning and once before I go to sleep.  Totally switching to this.

 

I want to say "Thank You" once again to Influenster and LypSyl LipBalm for giving me the chance to test this wonderful product.

imPRESS Press On Manicure



Suggested retail price: $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns

     The imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails was one of the complimentary products I received in my Mom Voxbox for testing and review purposes from INFLUENSTER.  I received the "Stiletto" color and I totally love this shade of brown. Check out all 36 colors and patterns at www.broadwaynails.com. 

     You can find imPress Manicure almost anywhere such as at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart and more.  For a full list of online and in-store retailers, visit imPressManicure.com, where you can download an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the different colors and patterns.

  

 

     I was able to achieve this salon-perfect manicure look in a matter of minutes.  First thing I had to do was to find the correct size for each nail.  Then, I laid out all 10 nails in finger order.  Next, I cleanse my natural nails with the enclosed prep pad.  And last, I removed the adhesive and press firmly onto my nails by applying pressure.  All this took only about 4 minutes.  The best part is that it requires no drying time and I am ready to head out the door to wherever I want without any hesitation.  No more worries about my kids accidentally touching my nails.  What a great feeling that is!  

     imPress is also just as easy to remove... in just a matter of seconds.  Just gently peel off from sides or apply nail polish remover around edges, wait 1 minute and peel off.  

     Wow!  How much simpler can this get?  All I know is that I am loving it already.  Just want to say thank you Broadway Nails and Influenster for the complimentary imPress nails.  I can totally get use to this.  Bye Bye nail salon and Hello imPress Nails.

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies

     The QUAKER Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie was one of the complimentary products I received in my Mom Voxbox for testing and review purposes from INFLUENSTER.  These cookies are OH SO YUMMY & SUPER SOFT made with whole grain quaker oats and delicious raisins.  Also, it provides a good source of fiber containing only 6 grams of total fat per serving.  

     So here are the two culprits who snatched the cookie before I could.  The boys really enjoyed it so much that we had to go to Ralph's market the next day to buy a box.  It was $2.69 for a box of six individually packaged cookies.  The cookie was super soft, chewy and OH SO FRESH!!! The boys could not get their hands off of these.  As a matter of fact, they love to dip these into their glasses of milk.    

     So who also ate my Quaker soft baked cookie along with my two boys??? Oh my gosh, it was my 1 1/2 year old baby girl...she ♥'s it so much that she is even taking a nap with the box of soft baked oatmeal cookies.  I am pretty sure she thought it tasted OH SO GOOD because she kept on saying "YUM-YUM."

    

     As for myself, I really love the taste of this cookie.  It had just the perfect combination of sweetness and saltiness.  I usually am not a fan of oatmeal and raisin, but hey I am loving this cookie just the way it is.  The ingredients were blended in very well that you did not come across big chunks of oats or raisins.  My family and I are big fans of this cookie and will definitely stock up on these.  These cookies are great for any time of the day and would work great for long road trips.  Thank you again Quaker and Influenster for allowing my family and I this opportunity to try this wonderful product. ♥ ♥ ♥!!!

THE MANY MANY USES OF IVORY SOAP

     I would like to thank IVORY and INFLUENSTER for this complimentary bar soap I received in my Mom Voxbox.  I was really excited when I found out the many uses of this IVORY soap.  The best part of it is that it is made with 99.94% pure ingredients which is perfect for many different skin types. It leaves one's skin feeling clean, fresh, and oh so soft.  Another great thing about Ivory is that it is one of the least expensive bars on a per ounce basis.  How awesome is that?  I totally give it two thumbs up.

     I love this soap so much that I use it on my face and body every day and night.  It just feels so right without drying my skin at all.  Usually after I shower, I would always have to put lotion all over my body, but after using this pure soap, I don't have to anymore.

     I also use this soap to clean my dirty brushes. I love how the bristles on my brushes feels so soft and clean afterwards when it is dry.  I feel extremely confident that my brushes are super clean.

     Another use that I did was I shaved the soap and threw them into the washer with my not so white looking t-shirts. Boy my t-shirts totally got whiter and brighter.  I was really shocked when it also removed the spaghetti stain on one of my t-shirt.  I totally recommend doing this if you want to make your very own laundry detergent.  

     Lastly, my kiddos and I did an experiment to see which soap brand would sink vs. float.  Below are pictures that I took showing the IVORY brand vs. the SOFTSOAP brand.  And the winner is "the IVORY brand soap." It was fun to see the reaction on my kids face and the many questions that followed it.

 

Other things that one can do with this Ivory Soap is:

*Soap Carvings

* Cook the bar of soap in the microwave for 2 minutes and see how it expands and erupt into puffy looking clouds or even a big, white soapy marshmallow.

Just so you all know, I received this product complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster and Ivory as a participant in the Mom VoxBox campaign.  Please visit www.influenster.com for more information on how you can receive complimentary products just like I did. 

INFLUENSTER: MOM VOXBOX

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookies: 
$2.69 for a box of 6

The moment I opened the Mom Voxbox, guess what all of my 3 kiddos were fighting for?  The Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Cookie of course. That did not last for more than 10 seconds. Each of us had a quarter of it to try.  Boy... not only was it soft and delicious but it tasted like it was just freshly baked.  It is so yummy that I can't wait to go the store and stock up on this cookie! Please visit www.quakeroats.com to find your favorite flavor cookie.

     Comes in 6 different flavors:
* Acai Berry Herbal

  * Blueberry SuperFruit Herbal

      * Yumberry Blackcurrant Herbal
* Goji Berry Green

* Mangosteen Green

        * Pomegranate Raspberry Green

So I tried the Stash Tea Superfruits Tea Sampler with the Nektar Sweetener.  The flavor that I tried first was the Pomegranate Raspberry Green Tea.  Since I am already a green tea lover, I knew I would fall in love with this even more because of the superfruits flavors.  Having add the Nektar honey crystals makes the tea taste just perfect.  I sure am glad I had my cup of tea tonight...it sure was good.  I so can't wait to try the other flavors.  Find your favorite flavor at www.stashtea.com.

The second flavor I tried was the Mangosteen Green Tea with the Nektar Sweetener.  This one was really good because it had the fruity mango taste.  I love the taste of mango and green tea together...such a great combination.  So far I am loving the flavors I have tried.  Still got four other flavors to try.

 

DenTek Comfort Clean & Fun Flossers:  
$1.99 to $2.99 for full packs

So I love these bright, colorful and fun flossers from DenTek.  Here you see two full size bags which are for each of my boys.  These are the best because they make flossing so easy for my kids.  It is small enough for their tiny hands and just the perfect size for their teeth.  I don't know how many bags of these the kids have already gone through.  I even have them stored in my van just in case my kids ever need them, because they are always eating in the car.  Please visit www.dentek.com for your favorite flosser.

imPRESS Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails: $5.99 to $7.99

Wow!  I can get use to this.  Can't believe it's available in 36 colors and patterns!  Find your favorite at www.broadwaynails.com  The pretty color I received was "Stiletto".  I so can't wait to try them on this weekend.  It should be fast and easy because there's no drying involved...just simply peel off, press on, and you're done.  How much simpler can it get?  All I know is that I am loving it already.  Hoping it would look incredibly natural.  Let's see how many compliments I will get.

Ivory Bar Soap: $4.27 for 10-pack bars

 So last but not least is my Ivory Bar Soap.  My kids and I decided to do a little experiment to see which one of my soap brand will actually SINK VS. FLOAT.  Here shown on the left hand side is my Ivory Bar Soap vs. on the right hand side the SoftSoap Bar Soap.  After dropping each one into the glass the Ivory bar floated right up onto the water while the SoftSoap bar sank right into the glass.  It only took a matter of seconds to see the result.  So there you have it and the winner is IVORY bar soap.

INFLUENSTER: PALMOLIVE FRESH SPONGE VOXBOX

In March, I registered to join Influenster.  It is all about taking surveys and unlocking badges.  From there I was able to qualify for a VoxBox, which are personalized product shipments, special rewards and exclusive deals from the brands I love. My job was to test these latest products by giving feedbacks and sharing with all my friends and family about what I discovered.

My first complimentary VoxBox product for testing purposes from Colgate-Palmolive via Influenster had finally arrived.  It was the Ultra Palmolive Fresh Sponge dishwashing liquid.  Inside the box was a brand new sponge, a full size (25 fl oz) bottle of New Palmolive Fresh Sponge, a coupon for a $1.00 off my next purchase of Palmolive dish liquid and 5 additional coupons to share with my friends and family.  This was designed to clean dishes to a sparkling shine as well as keeping the sponge smelling super great by washing away the odor causing residues. Thank you Influenster and Colgate-Palmolive.
