Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask

I received a Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask by MISSHA free for review from 08liter.com. I received the Propolis mask. This is the vitalizing mask and uses a hydro gel. When I opened the package, there was a very faint scent. It was just a clean smell similar to aloe. The mask, when I pulled it out, was very thick with gel and difficult to open as it was a bit slippery. One  side of the mask did have more gel than the other so I put the more gelatinous side on my face. The fit was quite nice. The mask did move a little bit during my twenty minute relaxation time. Once I removed the mask, there was still quite a bit of gel on my face left. The instructions were to gently pat until absorbed. I patted for a loooong time. It takes a while for this stuff to absorb. When all is said and done, my face feels absolutely fabulous!! I'm sitting here typing this and trying so hard to resist just feeling how soft my face is. It's not tacky or squeaky, just soft and supple. I love this mask!!

SoSakuri Surprise Box

A few weeks ago, I entered a Freebie Friday giveaway on Instagram to win a Mystery Box. This giveaway was held by sosakuri. I was super excited to find out the next day that I had won! A short time later, the mail lady left the package in my mail box. Well, she stuffed it in there. We had to cut the box open while it was in the mailbox and then pull everything out and then wrestle the box out. My mail lady is something else lol. 


I was so shocked to find that the surprise box was filled with jewelry. And it had gorgeous jewelry in it! Each piece feels very well made and of great quality. Yall go visit her at SoSakuri.com. She can also be found on Instagram under sosakuri.

Orange Date Cake Tea

About a week ago I won a giveaway held by Lauren (@lbd_steepedtea on Instagram) for an infuser and a bag of tea. I was over the moon as I had won a sample of tea from her before in the flavor Citrus Mint Sangria, and it was delicious, so I was super excited to get to try another of Steeped Tea's teas. She asked me if there was a particular flavor I wanted to try and I told her to surprise me. She surprised me in the best of ways. She sent me a Fruit Tea called Orange Date Cake. It has dates, cardamon, orange bits, currants and other yumminess in it.


Upon sipping my first cup of tea, which I brewed hot, I certainly noticed the orange. A rush of cinnamon came in after I finished my sip. It was so good! I am now drinking a second cup that I also brewed hot and I added a vanilla creamer to. It is Vanilla Orange creamy goodness!! I want to brew some for an iced tea as well and add some oranges to. That would be so refreshing. Lauren picked a perfect flavor! I am excited to soon order some Apple Mango Sangria tea and there are so many other yummy sounding flavors!! Steeped Tea is a tea addicts dream!!!


Please get in contact with Lauren for more information about Steeped Tea. She can be reached at the above Instagram or on Facebook: Lauren's ParTEA - Happiness one STEEP at a time! She has many clever and yummy ways to use teas such as in dips and cookies. Apparently tea is not just for drinking!!

A Pampered Meal For My Pampered Pooch

I received my first box with free products to review from +PINCHme today. One of the products that I received to review was a Bella Wet Dog Food by Purina. Bella offers six different flavors. The flavor that I got was Filet Mignon. I was very excited to feed this to my chihuahua, Gucci. When I opened the package, It was a solid pate. I sliced it into smaller bite sized pieces. I video recorded Gucci's experience with the Bella Wet Dog Food. He was hesitant at first but that was completely my fault. He is spoiled and doesn't like to eat his food on the kitchen floor. Once I put him on the dining room carpet he thoroughly devoured the Bella dog food. As I type this he is trying to get up to the packaging that I have here on the table with me because he wants some more. He is a silly dog. Gucci gives Bella Wet Dog Food a paws up and I thoroughly give it my recommendation. Thank you Pinchme and Purina! We are some #HAPPYPINCHERS You can join PINCHme as well.

One Fabulous Hot Mess

I recently had the opportunity to indulge in the most fabulous Hot Mess my skin has had the pleasure to moisturize in. I'm talking about Perfectly Posh's Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess. This hand creme was so smooth and satiny and the musky pink pepperpod smell was completely and absolutely delightful. I have used lotions before that were watery or left an oily feel on my hands that just wasn't pleasant. Hot Mess was definitely neither. Hot Mess features coconut oil, vitamin e, and aloe, as well as apricot kernel oil to moisturize and hydrate your hands and leave them feeling so soft and silky. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to pamper their hands! Posh is always having great deals on their products so keep an eye out!! The Big Fat Yummy Hand Creme in Hot Mess is only $9 right now and is part of a promo deal. I will certainly be purchasing asap!

Hydrate and Prime

I have never used primer before. I'm old school where we put our foundation and then concealer and then powder. The concept of primer certainly intrigued me. I have a certain YouTube beauty personality that I love to watch. She does show e.l.f. products quite often. one of these products was the e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer. I decided to go ahead and order this primer as she gave it a glowing review and we both have similar skin types. It was only $6 online. I was so happy with the price. The product itself is in a beautiful sea green glass bottle with a pump and lid. It matched the colors in my bathroom and was more sanitary than some of the other packaging of other products I have looked at. 

I watched many videos on the proper way to use primer and practiced til I perfected it. I love this primer! I sometimes actually use this without wearing any foundation because it makes my face feel so yummy. I have very dry skin and I moisturize, but my thirsty face loves this primer. It gives my face a dose of hydration while smoothing out all the imperfections and creating a flawless palette for my foundation. When I laid my foundation out over this I was amazed at how much smoother everything appeared and how much longer everything lasted. My makeup certainly didn't melt at all. It was a workout getting everything off at night though. 

The only downfall I would say this product might have, and to me it wasn't really a downfall, it does come across as a little oily feeling at first until it settles. Overall I am truly pleased with this product and I would highly recommend it to others. I will be repurchasing this primer again very soon.

e.l.f. love

So I was relaxing yesterday morning when all of a sudden I get a knock at the front door. It was the mail lady with a package. I love when I get packages but I wasn't expecting anything so I was perplexed. To my surprise the package was from Elf Cosmetics. I thought long and hard about whether or not I had placed another order. I was sure I hadn't. I asked my boyfriend if he had ordered me something. He said nope. I opened the box and inside was a jar of e.l.f.'s Illuminating Eye Cream and the sweetest note apologizing for how long my last order took to get to me. This gift from e.l.f. truly made me feel like a valued customer. I have another order planned to make soon for some skin care products. I love the eye cream and used up all of the sample I was sent previously. I can't wait to try more of the skin care line. I love all the products I have received from e.l.f. so far and the customer service is certainly extraordinary!! Thank you so much +e.l.f. Cosmetics !!!
