TownleyGirl Giveaway & Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by TownleyGirl for the review & giveaway free of charge.****

       
I have to admit that sometimes my inner child get a little jealous at all the neat and character packed products kids have now, the big things when I was younger were Barbie, Beanie Babies and Furbies. Now you can pick almost any cartoon or movie you enjoy and find products featuring the characters from the show, a big one that has become quite popular is Minions. Townleygirl has grown to become a favorite brand for my daughter, they produce a lot of fun themed beauty and bath products for girls and tweens. In this post I will be sharing some of their Despicable Me 3 products with you and I will be giving away a set of products at the end of this post. The best part? All of these products are available for less than $10 per set.



Despicable Me 3 Lip Balm Set with Banana Bag Retail Value $7.99 - This set comes with four lip balms shaped like minions, each lip balm is shaped like lipstick inside and it comes with a cute banana purse to store them in. I think the googly eyes are a cute addition to the lip balms but as you can see on the blue lip balm above they aren't entirely secured onto the tube and this one arrived with one eye coming off. I just think it needs a little stronger glue otherwise the lip balm tubes look great and I like that you can reuse the carrying bag. Each lip balm is a different flavor including blue cotton candy, purple grape, rose bubble gum and green watermelon for me they generally smell similar and taste wise will vary from person to person but generally with lip balms I usually don't notice a flavor.

Despicable Me 3 Lip Balms with Tin Retail Value $5.99 - A fun trio of lip balms with a reusable and collectable tin. The flavors include light green watermelon, purple grape and rose bubble gum again the smell/taste is the same as the above kit. I like that this set features other characters from the Despicable me cast instead of just focusing on the minions. The tin is well made and is great for carrying small items in your purse.

Despicable Me 3-2 Pack Lip Tube with Purse Retail Value $4.99 - This great set comes with two lip glosses, two hair clips and a coin purse. The lip glosses are Watermelon and grape. The lip glosses have a light smell to them that is not unpleasant, it isn't quite a watermelon or grape smell but it doesn't smell bad. I find the gloss to be a bit thick for my own liking but my daughter does not seem to mind it in the slightest and with the hot weather it is good to help keep her lips from getting dried out anyways. The clips have a soft top which helps prevent them from pulling out hair when removing the clips.



Despicable Me 3 Beautiful Nails Set Retail Value $5.99 & Despicable Me 3 Nail Polish Set Retail Value: $1.99 - This is personally my daughters favorite part of the set we received aside from the unicorn coin purse. The nails set comes with the three polishes you see above, a cuticle stick, a nail file and nail gems and the smaller set comes with two polishes. Hate the way nail polish smells? No need to worry this polish has a very light scent that isn't noticeable unless you are actually sniffing the nail brush itself but I would not recommend that. This polish is great starter set for little girls just learning to paint their nails, the polish is peelable so once your little one gets sick of the polish it comes off without the need for nail polish remover. I do have to note though it seems to peel off a little too easily, we got in the pool about two hours after we did my daughters nails and when she got out half of her nails no longer had polish on them. The gems are wonderful but hard to get on without tweezers or a gem stick so I would pick one of those up to use with the beautiful nail set.

TomBoxes Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by TomBoxes for the review free of charge.****

Sometimes starting your period can add extra stress to an already stressful and hectic week and it makes you just want to break down and cry, but thankfully their is a very helpful and wonderful company called TomBoxes who wants to help you out each month. TomBoxes stands for "Time of the Month boxes" and it is aimed to provide you with not only pads or tampons but also with extra goodies to help brighten your day. Each box will receive a mixture of makeup, jewelry and some kind of candy and they have a option where you can double up on the makeup and jewelry you'll receive.




I really like that you are able to select from several different pad/tampon brands including Tampax, Always & more so you can be sure you will get a product you will use. The box I received had a box of Playtex sport tampons which are a great product! I received the double up box which means I received more jewelry & makeup than what comes in the basic monthly box. The items in my box that are included in the basic boxes are a "Have hope" silver bangle (Retail $10)  which looks great, it is simple and inspirational, California mango extreme creme travel size (Retail $2), Iris belle cherry plum matte lipstick (Retail $10), Fran Wilson Professional Quality pumice sponge (retail $4) & Pumpkin caramels from The Little Red Hen. The Iris Belle lipstick is a lovely shade and is right up my alley so I was happy to see it included in this box. I didn't really like the caramels the pumpkin flavor was a little overwhelming but that is just my personal opinion I am not a huge fan of pumpkin spice.

















The products that were included and aren't in the basic box but are in the "Double up" box were as follows; Turqoise Arrow Dangle Earrings (Retail $11), Iris Belle coral red liquid matte lipstick (Retail $10), Hikari eye shadow in bone (Retail $13) and Be A Bombshell eye crayon in angel eyes (Retail $5). The Be A Bombshell eye crayon is perfect because you can use it as a base under your eye shadow and it glides on smoothly and evenly helping you create the perfect eye shadow base. The earrings are a lovely color and they are also light weight so they won't weigh on your ear lobes. I also love the color of the eye shadow they sent. I am over all very happy with this box and think it is the perfect subscription box for all women out there. Basic boxes start at $16 a month which is a great deal, the month's box I received included $26 worth of product not including the candy or the tampons, and a double up box is $6 more than the basic and the box I received had an extra $39 worth of products so it is 100% worth the price. They also have an additional option where they will include a 4pack of Venus razor blades for an additional $12 a month.

Roaring Spring Paper Giveaway & Review

I like to keep organized & part of that means keeping lists,notebooks,ect with Holiday plans,Birthday Ideas,Blog lists,Shopping lists & more. I was quite happy to come across a company called Roaring Spring Paper Products. Here is a little bit of information about the company from their website "In 1887 Daniel M. Bare founded the Roaring Spring Blank Book Company to produce ledgers,journals, etc., hence the name 'Blank Book'. Today the company has grown from a 20 person operation in a small two story brick building to over 250 employees in 400,000 square foot of modern manufacturing and distribution facilities. Today Roaring Spring Blank Book is now one of the largest independently owned producers of school and office supplies. Special high speed equipment not only produces notebooks, pads, and tablets, but construction paper, poster board, and pocket folders"

For a recent review I was sent a package containing the Genesis 1,3,and 5 subject notebooks along with three sets of Wide landscape legal pads. I was very happy to receive these since I am running out of notebooks here at home we use them for many purposes here & for school use as well. I love keeping one of the smaller Wide landscape legal pads in my desk & another in my purse I find they come in quite handy I use them for shopping list,Keeping shipping information & more such as information about certain programs,school numbers and To do lists. If I need to take a page out of one of the notebooks or off of the legal pad I can do so without having to worry about the paper ripping unevenly it simply tears right off with no problems. My favorite part of these products is that all of their products are made from Recycled Materials such as: recycled papers, sugarcane fiber paper, and poo papers. Roaring Spring offers dozen of products for both school & office uses having tested out their products I plan to use their company products for quite some time to come they are reliable,well made & eco friendly products that are great for the whole family. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive the same pack I received which includes: Genesis 1,3,and 5 subject notebooks along with three sets of Wide landscape legal pads.

Celsius GIVEAWAY & Review

It is time again for Fitness Friday! I can't believe it is friday already the days seem to be going by faster every day. Today I wanted to Introduce you to a company called "Celsius" Your ultimate fitness partner, How? Celsius helps you get fit and stay fit. Celsius is your partner whether you walk the dog or workout at the gym. Studies show that drinking a great tasting Celsius before you exercise may help you burn calories, raise metabolism and provide lasting energy to power you through your routine and beyond. For a recent review I received a small assortment of Celsius drinks to test out,You can see them below.

The first one I decided to try out was their Strawberry Kiwi flavor,It tasted great & similar to one of my favorite Iced teas.Their cans say it is best to drink this product fifteen minutes before a work out or physical activity so I did just that, I can't say that I felt I was burning more calories during my workout but I did notice some differences such as having to use the bathroom more frequently. Everyone experiences weight loss differently but I do think that these drinks could lend a hand in helping you reach your goal,I did feel more energized & ready to work out once I drank the can of Celsius.

I thought the drinks tasted good & tasted what the flavors were supposed to be,My fiance on the other hand didn't really like them which left more for me to use before my workout sessions.Celsius is loaded with vitamins and good-for-you ingredients, such as Green Tea with EGCG, Ginger, Calcium, Chromium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, all of which work together to raise metabolism resulting in a sustained calorie burn while keeping you energized.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

PRIZE ALERT:

One Lucky winner will receive A Celsius Cooler Bag that holds 6-8 cans of product,Celsius Sticks as well as a Celsius shirt.
