Mistura GIVEAWAY & Review

I would like to present you with a Company Called Mistura who sells makeup kits.For my review I received the Mistura Travel Mini which includes 1/8th ounce jar of our luscious Luminada illuminating moisturizer, a clam-shell of the 6-in-1 Beauty Solution and a baby Kabuki travel brush.Mistura 6 in 1 beauty solution is formulated to give customers a completely airbrushed finish in under one minute, the 6-in-1 Beauty Solution replaces 6 separate makeup application steps and provides users with an instant glow and natural looking coverage. Mistura is easy to use, spill-proof, long lasting and will work with your skin tones throughout the year to guarantee a perfect unified finish no matter the season.



I have to admit when I first received it I didn't think that one color/shade could possibly be matched to more than one person since everyone has different skin tones,I am very pale myself so most cover ups don't work with my Skin,But much to my surprise when you rub the Luminada illuminating moisturizer onto your skin it changes colors to blend in with your skin.Though I found if you don't rub it in just right it leaves unevenness.The baby Kabuki travel brush is super adorable & very soft to the touch I almost don't want to use it,I like it so much hahaha but I have been using it for my foundation application it works nicely.The Mistura make your skin look & feel nice.I enjoyed testing out this product.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

One Lucky winner will Receive The Ultimate 6-in-1 Beauty Solution A $75 Value

Amberike Review

Today I will be posting a Etsy review or two & Then todays two giveaways.



The first review today is on a Small Etsy shop called Amberike who sells Handmade Button Bobby Pins,Button Earrings,Hair ties,Bookmarks & Much more.Recently for a review I received a Pair of Black /White bobby pins,Shipping was very fast I was surprised they arrived so early even though they ship from the state next door I have had most of my packages show up in the same amount of time a package from New York would take so I was happy to see the package in my mail box early.The bobby pins were all placed on a small piece of white card board,they looked very nice how they were arranged.Each bobby pin is well made with no extra glue hanging off,Each button is placed onto a well made Bobby Pin I have always bought the cheap bobby pins from the store so I was very happy with the quality of the bobby pins I received from Amberike because they have more room to open,Hold more hair,They are a nice silver color & don't snag my hair when I put them in or take them off.I am very impressed that the Owner makes all the fabric covered buttons by hand,They look gorgeous not a single thread out of place on them & no bumps everything is smooth & perfect.Feel free to stop by her shop to check out her other cute works of art,Have a question for her or want a custom order? She is very fast with her replies.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

CSN Review

Before I can post todays Giveaway(s) there are a couple Reviews I need to get posted first,You get BONUS entries into my upcoming giveaways for commenting on these reviews.Thank You



I absolutely love a website called CSN it has Hundreds of stores,thousands of items & a great selection of products.Recently I worked with CSN on a product review of some of their Childrens items.I was sent a sixty dollar gift card to get what ever Item I wanted from the site,It was really hard picking out what I wanted because there were so many great Items.I ended up picking a Le Café Play Tent[Seen below],& A My Very Own 26 Piece Tea Cart Set[Seen above].I was surprised at how fast the arrived to my house at first I wasn't sure what it was because I honestly didn't think that it would send so fast but much to my surprise it was in the package.The tea set arrived a few days later,I am very happy with both items they are great products at amazing prices,they always have amazing sales & free shipping on a lot of their Items.The quality of their items are beyond amazing they are always above & beyond the standards I have for most childrens toys since everything is mass produced. The Le Café Play Tent is a great size for children to play in it holds up to Four Children,If your child has a big enough room with extra space it is perfect for indoors & outdoors,I love the fact that is has a little 'patio' type area on it to put a small chair or table under.The My Very Own 26 Piece Tea Cart Set is the perfect size for a young child & the colors go great with little girl decor,It is a perfect match for tea parties & play kitchens.I only wish I had toys similar to this when I was a child.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Under Glass GIVEAWAY & Review

Today is all about Jewelry! I love being able to provide you with sites that sell gorgeous pieces of jewelry,Today I have two Jewelry review/Giveaways for you to check out & enter each shop has something unique about them that sets them out from the rest of the crowd.



A Piece of Jewelry has to have something Unique or be extra special to me in order for me to wear it,I don't have a huge collection but it is slowly building because of some of the fabulous jewelry shops I have found not only online but on Etsy.Recently for a review I worked with a small shop called Under Glass who sells a Variety of Resin jewelry some of which are 'Specimen' samples which include butterflies,ants & More for my review I received a specimen series petite green beauty.I always love when Etsy shops put their products in adorable packaging when the necklace arrived it was in a Medium black bow,with a white strip & A Purple bow with a butterfly attached with the store name on it,Inside the box the necklace was on an adorable little card board tag & it came with a Bonus pair of earrings! Since the Necklace is made from resin it is a very light weight,the butterfly inside [Fake] looks great specially in the sun light,The chain is also sturdy & light weight I like the slim design.The bails on the resin flow with the chain so it doesn't seem like a big bulky mess on top of the pendant.At a distance the butterfly looks real to tell it wasn't real you would have to hold it up to your face to examine it,The butterfly has a lot of different colors in it which reflect the sun light nicely,the butterfly has Green,Red,Purple black & slight hints of orange.Everything about the pendant is smooth since it is sanded down there are no rough or sharp edges.Wondering what the Bonus earrings look like? The bonus earrings are cute round circles with ants in them perfect for the Halloween season or any time of year,You can win these earrings in next months Goodie bag giveaway.I give this etsy shop two thumbs up! I had an over all great experience working with this seller.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

For many girls plus many guys what is Halloween without your makeup? Makeup can transform you into a witch,goblin,vampire & Much more so having the best makeup matters.I recently had a chance to work with a company called Providence and Grace who sells a variety of makeup plus some great makeup that could be used for Halloween.For my review I received the Deep Lipstick,Ms. Smith Eyeshadow,Raspberries Lip Glaze,Innocence Blush,Small samples of Wink & Azule.The package sent by Providence and Grace was sent pretty fast I was excited to see the extra samples Azule & Wink,I was happy Azule was sent because I was looking at it but though I had too much blue eyeshadow though this has become one of my favorites because it is a very bright bold blue that looks excellent with Ms. Smith Eyeshadow.I also really love the Raspberries Lip Glaze the color is gorgeous & you get to choose your scent/flavor I choose Strawberry which smells amazing & doesn't taste like nasty wax like most lip balms/glosses,The Deep Lipstick goes on well & looks great I thought it was a little Odd the lipstick came shaped like a lip balm but it helps me from leaving it up which causes it to smash into the top of the lip stick tube.The Innocence blush is a nice light shade yet still visible,I have not tested out the Wink eyeshadow because I am saving it for one of you to win in Octobers Goodie bag giveaway!.I think that Providence and Grace has great makeup & great customer service the owner is very friendly & speedy with both messaging back & shipping orders.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

KAMsnaps GIVEAWAY & Review

Lets keep the craft spirit going with another Craft related giveaway/post.I absolutely love crafts so when I was offered a chance to try out a new tool that will help me make new Items I was very excited to try it out.Recently I worked with a wonderful company called KAMsnaps on a review & giveaway.KAMsnaps carries snap colors to match Fabrite PUL, bumGenius and gDiapers (and we have tutorials on how to replace the Velcro on them with snaps),They are also exclusive sellers of engraved Ooga Booga snaps.For my review I was sent some black Snaps,Black star snaps & A .I tested out making a small change purse which turned out great,I have also used it to fix other small purses & cases that have broke in the past,but that's not all you can do you can also use the snaps to make Eco Friendly cloth diapers which are loved by many parents all over the world.



If you check out their website they have many Tutorials showing you how to make an assortment of products,I will post part of the Snap Wallet,I would post the whole thing but it is way too long but you can visit Also cut out some interfacing slightly smaller than the fabric cause you don't wanna sew over it, just makes things harder.Iron on the interfacing to one of your fabrics (doesn't matter which one, I haven't found that it makes any difference)Now, put the two pieces together, right sides facing each other, and sew around the whole rectangle. The trick is to start sewing in the MIDDLE of one of the short end Then bring it back around and stop where the lines are. Trust me, this is a really good trick.Now cut off the corners, it's not vital, but is an old trick of my mom's and I just do it anyhow Now turn the thing right side out.. it LOOKS scary here, but not for long.Use a pen/chopstick/whatever is handy to poke out the corners so its nice and sharp.It tucks in nice and neatly, and you now iron over the whole thing which creases the hole and makes it look perfect!!Now sew across that seam with the hole.Now's a good time to attach your label if you have one.Fold it like so.You want to fold it in about 3 inches. This will be where you stash all your moolah,Want to read the rest? Visit their tutorial HERE I enjoyed working with this product it was fun & easy to use,The tutorials are easy to follow & I look forward to testing out more of them.The KAMsnap customer service was fast & friendly I recommend this company to any crafter or home maker looking for a new easy project to make in your spare time they even offer free samples of cute snaps with your order.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by KAMsnaps for the Review & Giveaway****
