Quaker Real Medleys

I got this oatmeal as part of my Influenster Holiday VoxBox. It is delightful! Since getting this, I have purchased the other three varieties and they are all so, so yummy. You sort of expect oatmeal to be a bit on the bland side with not a lot of intense flavor, but these are definitely not boring. They are flavorful and have a lot going on other than just mushy oatmeal. My favorite is the Cherry Pistachio, it has real big cherry chunks that have a tartness that is really complimented by the pistachios.

The only thing that I don't really love is the packaging. I wish that they would come in the paper packets. I know that it's supposed to be convenient and whatnot, but it's just wasteful, to me.

Covergirl Blast Flipstick

 I am a BzzAgent (www.bzzagent.com) and recently I was chosen for a Covergirl Blast Flipstick campaign. I got three tubes of the lipstick to try out for free, but I only liked one of the colors so I gave the other two away for others to try. I kept Vixen for myself. What a clever name. ;)

The Good:

The color is super pretty. I like the darker color all by itself, and the effect that layering on the lighter shimmery color gives it is really pretty.

The Bad:

It's dry, and felt gritty on my lips. That feeling got worse the longer it was on. After about a half an hour, I was ready to wipe it off but I wanted to see how it wore. Which turns out, isn't very long. I took the picture on the left right after I applied it, the picture on the left is about an hour and a half later. It didn't make it through lunch and for $8 it should really be more wearable than that.

All in all I give it 1 of 5 stars.

Influenster

About a month ago, I got invited to be a part of Influenster by a friend in a Mommy's group. I got my first Vox Box just before Christmas!

It contained a $25 credit to Sole Society (www.solesociety.com), NYC New York Liquid Color Lipshine, Kiss Nail Dress nail wraps, a Goody Quikstyle hairbrush, a Montagne Jeunesse mud mask, a packet of Eboost mix and a Quaker Real Medley Oatmeal that I forgot when I took the picture.

I have been really excited to try these products and as I can, I will add reviews!

Alrighty, folks! Since I know that you all care about my opinions SO very much, I decided to create a blog to review the various products and services that I try out.

I will be reviewing products that I receive from BzzAgent and Influenster, as well as various boxes that I get from companies like Bluum, Citrus Lane and PopSugar. I like to feel like I am getting the best bang for my buck, so hopefully this bloggity blog will help my friends get the same!
