So, as you all know I'm an Influenster and get awesome products for free for testing and reviewing purposes! S-W-E-E-T!! Ain't it? Well let me answer that for you! Yes, it totally is. My recent gift (I like to call them gifts from Influenster ;)) was Dr. Scholl's Active Series insoles! Here is what they look like :

Super cool eh? ;) Firstly, I love these insoles! Cross my heart! They are awesome for walking/ standing for long hours together. They let your feet worry about other things than pain ;) Secondly, while running, these are really awesome companions! Your feet take you farther and faster without much pain so you can concentrate on the run instead of pains and aches! Finally, I love it that these fit into any shoe and are also sleek and soft!

Here's a shot of them in my shoe :



It's only been a few weeks since I've started using them, but I've no complaints so far! They are wonderful for people who take running and exercising seriously!

NECTRESSE - Influenster Sugar n Spice VoxBox Review

I already wrote about my Influenster Sugar n Spice Voxbox in the last few posts! I really got fixed up on all the products within it! Now the one product I really loved was my Nectresse no calorie sweetener.

I made my husband's birthday cake with it and it tasted marvelous! Really loved how the measure for sugar matched with that of Nectresse sweetener! Here's a pic of the cake I baked:

Delicious looking eh?? ;)
 

Overall I use this for my husband's daily coffee and wherever sugar comes into picture! It's great what it can do considering it doesn't add any calories, right?

Try one yourself! you'll love it!

Colgate Optic White - Influenster Review!

A few days back, I received my Sugar n Spice VoxBox from Influenster. I'm going to talk about a specific product from the VoxBox:

 

Colgate Optic White Oral Regimen:

 
 
I have loved the trio so far! They compliment each other and work well to give you better and brighter teeth in just a few weeks. I would definitely Colgate has proved itself as a great brand over and again; so I have no doubts whatsoever that my teeth would retain their strength while looking brighter with the use of the regimen!
 
I brush twice a day and use the mouthwash at night! Now I roam around with some serious white teeth and a brilliantly flashing smile ;) Thanks Influenster for letting me try this for free!

Sugar and Spice VoxBox - Influenster!


A few days back, I received my Sugar n Spice VoxBox from Influenster (Isn't the name fancy??)
If you don't know influenster you can find them here. It's a rewarding site that gives you a lot of goodies for free for you to give your opinions upon testing them...fancy again right?

So, where was I? Oh yes, my new VoxBox! Here's a pic of what came in it:



All those goodies just for free and for my reviews!

Let me go over each product for you:

Dickinson's Original witch hazel oil controlling towelettes ($4.99 at Walgreens): The soothing blend of Witch Hazel and aloe in our facial wipes rejuvenates your skin by gently lifting dirt, oil and impurities from your pores while nourishing even the most sensitive skin. The result is a clean, refreshed and blemish-free complexion – naturally! They really remove the makeup that's on - beware! But the result is a clean and fresh looking face!

NECTRESSE no calorie sweetener($3.49): tastes like sugar and is naturally
zero calories per serving. They started with the deliciously
sweet extract of monk fruit and combined it with the perfect
blend of other natural sweeteners. It's 100% natural with
nothing artificial. You're going to love the way it tastes!!

Vaseline Spray and Go Moisturizer($5.99 at Target): I was super excited about this product and I can't stress enough on how much I'm loving it! It encourages the lazy me to stop going over moisturizing by just getting absorbed wherever you aim it at! How neat! I love IT!!

Colgate Optic White Regimen($18 Value) that includes Toothbrush, Mouthwash and Toothpaste: This has really whitened my teeth and visibly. I'm going to continue using this for a few more weeks and possibly would end up buying this going forward! Really makes your teeth look whiter and feel fresher! All three products in this regimen compliment each other and work great!

Last, but never the least, BelVita Breakfast Biscuits: You can find this at many stores in various packages. Love these biscuits for both their taste and health value! Nothing more can be said! I'm buying more of these and SOON!

So these were the great free goodies I got courtesy of Influenster! Come join in on the fun at influenster.com.

Disclamer: I received these products for testing and reviewing purposes from Influenster but all opinions are my own!

Neutrogena Cosmetics - Review and Pics - BzzAgent


Hey all,

As I told you about Neutrogena Cosmetics in my previous blog , it would only be fair to show some pictures as a proof of what I claimed. Well, here they are:




The Last picture was when I applied it and was taken right after and the picture before it shows the makeup after four - five hours of wear! Ain't that natural and easy?


Go grab some new and easily applicable cosmetics ladies!!

Neutrogena Cosmetics - BzzAgent



Hey everyone!

This is going to be a makeup blog post; something I've fallen in love with of late! I was lucky enough to get into the Neutrogena Cosmetics campaign through bzzagent.com ( I've been rambling about this site in my previous posts, fyi!) and I was eagerly awaiting my BzzKit last week while others had posted about the amazing stuff within! And last week guess who made a guest appearance :





Isn't that wonderful quality free stuff to test?? I was super excited to try them all out the next day and to my surprise Neutrogena lives upto it's name! All products were absolutely amazing! Let me go over each one separately:

* MoistureSmooth Color Sticks - Amazingly moisturizing and little shimmery to give your lips a glossy finish! Absolutely great stuff! I got the Sweet Watermelon color (Wouldn't have been my first choice since I prefer darker colors and the range of colors available is great) and the color is a very subtle pink and glides over SMOOTHLY onto your lips - Believe me when I say that there was absolutely no sticky residue at all and the best part is the color and moisture stays on for around four hours which is great and also, it has made my lips naturally soft with very less chapping! It Has a fruity smell about it! Not sure if that's watermelon - but who cares? I would definitely recommend this product to every lady out there!


* Crease Proof Eye Shadows - Live upto their name! Stellar performance - glide on smoothly without any efforts and also are easy to apply even for beginners and especially help those ladies on the go! I love how i can find no crease whatsoever on my eyes after hours of staying out without re-application! I usually use powder eye shadows and I love them too but these take the cake - no powder substance falling in and around your eyes and absolutely easily applicable with a stick like body! Get one and try it yourself!


* Healthy Lengths Mascara - A dream come true for every woman with short or almost no eyelashes! Absolutely thickens and elongates lashes like it claims! Great Work Neutrogena even though I might not be absolutely awed by it since my lashes are already very long(touch wood ;))


Overall, I love my Bzzkit and would recommend ladies out there to try out the above mentioned product line by Neutrogena! I'll post pics in my next blog post!

You can join Bzzagent.com using this link and enjoy free quality stuff like I do : www.bzzagent.com

Hope you found your read useful!

The Taste: Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC

Hello all,

I'll be talking about a cooking and competition show on ABC - The Taste! Let me tell you what the show is all about first! The Taste begins with blind auditions of both professional and amateur cooks during which four judges, who double as mentors, taste one spoonful of food from each contestant prior to knowing who cooked it or what all the ingredients are. Each judge decides whether or not they would like the contestant on his or her team by pressing a button (green for yes or red for no); the buttons are hidden from the other judges (although some decisions are revealed to the home audience). The four then meet the contestant and press a button to reveal their votes. If exactly one judge votes yes, that contestant automatically joins that judge's four-member team.If more than one judge votes yes, the contestant chooses among them.
Once the 16 contestants are chosen, each episode consists of team and individual challenges with various themes. Each episode ends with the mentors tasting all the competitors' dishes without knowing what it is, how it was prepared, who created it, or whom they will be eliminating. The contestant with the worst bite of food is eliminated from the competition.

The judge panel includes Anthony Bourdain, Ludo Lefebvre, Brian Malarkey and Nigella Lawson! Ain't that some sophistication? I love the show for the dishes shown and also for the honesty of both the judges and the participants! If you like cooking and/or a foodie, this show is just for you! Check it out on Tuesdays at 8|7c on ABC! It's a great show!

Here's a link to the most recent episode: http://abc.tv/Z3jimp

I totally watch this show and I do recommend this show for any foodie/chef out there! ;) I'm gonna watch today's episode too! Hopefully, you guys catch it soon!

Cheers!

Glade Expressions - BzzAgent!

I was super excited when I got into the Glade Expressions Campaign from BzzAgent (you guys know about this; I have a post on this). But I would be wrong if i thought that was the best level of excitement I could be in! Because, the day I got the Glade Expressions kit by mail, that was it! I was super excited. Couldn't wait for the weekend to go and get the Fragrance Mist and Oil Diffuser starter kits. When the weekend finally arrived, I gathered the free coupons along with the discount coupons to go get some great smelling air into my home! I finally got to WalMart and selected the Pineapple Mangosteen and Starlit Evening Fragrance Mists along with Pineapple Mangosteen and Lavender & Juniper Berry Oil Diffusers! And THEY ARE GREAT!! My home smells so inviting now! Here's what I got :


I just love my home now! I'm ever ready for guests and at anytime they want!! That's how special Glade made my house! Go grab yourself a Starter kit for the Glade Expressions Products! They are priced nominally and they work amazingly well!!!

Schick Hydro Silk - BzzAgent


Guess what arrived in my mail today??? Well, the title gives it away :/ ;) It was the BzzAgent BzzKit for the Schick Hydro Silk Campaign. I freaked out, well positively ;), on seeing the kit. It was AMAZING!!! They sent a Razor with two cartridges! And to top that they sent me EIGHT $5 off coupons on purchase of a single razor! Isn't that absolutely generous? Well, I'm gonna start right away and bzz about it to friends and family! This is absolute fun! The campaign is open for another 40 more days or so and that many days of bzzing is only going to get me into more amazing campaigns! I can't wait to get started!

I have been using Schick Hydro Silk razor for months now and I won't change! Well, it's a great product! Keeps your hands and legs well hydrated during and after shaving and curves on your bends so well that you can absolutely forget razor cuts or burns! Change to this one and you'll never change to another razor for sure! This is the best one in the market ladies!

Only Shick Hydro Silk razors have Water- Activated Moisturizing Serum to hydrate you skin for up to two hours after shaving and 5 curve sensing blades with skin guards to help reduce irritation!! Have you heard of this from any other razor company?? I'm sure you haven't! The razor does what it claims and well!!

Goody QuikStyle


I received the Holiday VoxBox from Influenster during Christmas time- December 2012 and it came as a pleasant surprise to me! I'm going to be talking about a specific product I received:

Goody QuikStyle hair brush :

It's an amazing fit to your hair dressing accessories. You know how bad blow drying is for your hair..so why not take a step to abolish it when it's not very much needed; like a day when you're home and have time to let your hair air-dry? I did it! and I felt good! My hair fall has lessened. This product claims what it can do and does it well.

The microfiber in the brush keeps the brush clean(no hair tangling), is good to your hair(not harsh) and also dries your hair pretty well. I start combing it when it's not dripping wet and it dries it out very well in about an hour or so with intermittent combing. Give it a try! I would definitely recommend it!

 Pros:

How it helps your hair dry. Lose the blow dryer and use this instead.

Cons:

I hear brushing wet hair is bad for your hair. Though it only helps my hair!

Verdict :

Totally worth owning one! Go get yourself one :)

I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program. Here are some useful links:

Cheers! Enjoy your day!

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

I received the Holiday VoxBox from Influenster during Christmas time- December 2012 and it came as a pleasant surprise to me! I'm going to be talking about a specific product I received:

NYC Liquid LipShine:

It's an amazing fit to your makeup accessories. I received the nude lip shade and it's awesome. It lets me flaunt my natural lip color with a flush of shine to it. It's a nice add to your makeup wants. Give it a try! I would definitely recommend it!

I did a swatch and took a closeup picture of my lips after I applied it:


Here is the product ($2.49):



Pros:

Enhances lip color and adds a sheer shine to it.
No sticky residue.
Glides smoothly.

Cons:

I can't seem to find any :)

Verdict:

You've got to try it. I'm sure you'll love it!

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masque

I received the Holiday VoxBox from Influenster during Christmas time- December 2012 and it came as a pleasant surprise to me! I'm going to be talking about a specific product I received:

Montagne Jeunesse Face Masque:

It's an amazing fit to your makeup accessories. I received the chocolate mask deep cleansing and it's awesome. It freshens my face with a chilly feeling to it. Not to mention, the amazing chocolate smell to it. Love this mask; especially, since I'm a chocolate person ;) Going to buy more of this once I run out of it. Give it a try! I would definitely recommend it!

Have a look at what I got:

Pros:

An amazing face mask with a super chocolate smell to it.
Cools the face and evens it out.
Deeps cleanses.

Cons:

I did break out a bit after using it but I'm not sure whether it was a result of this or something else I used. I'm a bit acne prone, so I'm guessing you can use this twice in one week or so just to be sure.

Verdict:

Give it a try! Hope you won't have bad reactions to it!

Kiss Nail Dress

I received the Holiday VoxBox from Influenster during Christmas time- December 2012 and it came as a pleasant surprise to me! I'm going to be talking about a specific product I received:

Kiss Nail Dress:

It's an amazing fit to your manicure accessories. I received the black and white patterned stickers. They look great but since my finger nails are very small, I need to alter them to put them on. But they work amazingly well for my toe nails. Give it a try! I would definitely recommend it! Have a look at my toe nails :)

Pros:

Easy to stick and remove - no sticky adhesive left behind.
Easy to alter for sizes - it already comes with a few inbuilt sizes.

Cons:

Doesn't stay for more than three days though it says it would stay put for 8 days.

Verdict:

Absolute yes for a trial. Looks as good as a well done manicure. 
Helps at times when you don't have time for a full fledged nail art done!
Flash those pretty nails!

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+

I received the Holiday VoxBox from Influenster during Christmas time- December 2012 and it came as a pleasant surprise to me! I'm going to be talking about a specific product I received:

Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ :

It's an amazing add to your daily breakfast. I received the Peach Almond Flavor. I don't like nuts, so it belonged to my husband as soon as it came ;) He loved it. He has already tried it so he was very excited when it came along in the Holiday VoxBox. Give it a try! I would definitely recommend it!

Here's a pic:

Pros:

It's a healthy start to your day! What can go wrong with a healthy breakfast? ;)

Cons:

If you have allergies especially to nuts, I'm sorry you'll be missing out on it :( Otherwise there really can't be any cons about this :)

Verdict:

Add it to your breakfast and savor it :)

Eboost:

It's Okay!. It's not an instant gush of energy as you would expect but it's not bad. It's a priced sugary liquid claimed to contain a lot of vitamins.You can give it a try! I would not highly recommend it!
