Nivea Soft Moments Skin and Lip Care Collection

I got this gift set for Christmas this past year, and let me tell you, it is a heaven sent for dry winter skin! (and i cant wait to see what it does for dry summer skin aswel!) 

The kit includes a:

Nivea Minerals and Mint Refreshing Lip Care

Nivea Soft Moisturizing Skin Cream Mini
Refreshingly Soft Moisturizing Cream Tube 

I am not going to speak much about the Minerals and Mint lip balm because i actually already have a dedicated blog review for that already. You can go check that out in my previos blog list.


As for the skin cream, these are some of the best skin creams i have ever used on my skin ever.
The Mini jar type i throw in my purse and use it on the go, and it is great. I little of it really goes a long way this this stuff. I just dip my funger in and its enough to smooth over most of my arm.

And the tube kind i keep next to my sink and use it after i wash my hands to keep them soft.
it works great!

It goes on so light and smooth, you barely notice it is there. It is not greasy at all and just leaves your skin so soft.

It doesn't have much of a scent at all, so it is great for people who dont like scented lotions, or have allergies or something like that. (also great for people who work in places where they wash their hands a lot but cant wear scented lotions, like day cares and hospitals) 

I really do love these little mini lotions to throw in my purse and keep on the go, but when they run out, i will buy the original size for at home too.
I love them that much! 

Cover Girl Nature Luxe Mouse Mascara

So after many years of hating all the mascaras i had tried, i found this wonderful find, and i dont think i will every use another mascara again.

For many years i hated mascara because it made my eye lashes feel so clumpy, and heavy, and stuck together. And that feeling actually would give me headaches.
So about a year of so ago i decided i wasn't going to wear mascara at all, i had given up on it.
Until i saw the commercial for Cover Girl Luxe Mouse Mascara, and it said that it was a weightless mascara with no heavy particles and it was made from bees wax! i was very intrigued.
So when i found it at my local store, (and it was on sale!) i knew i had to have it!

the first time i put it on, i knew it was amazing. I honestly didn't even feel like i had any on at all, but my eyes looked amazing. No clumps, my eyes didn't look or feel heavy at all, and my eyes didn't look heavy with layers and layers of mascara either.

It is a very natural looking mascara, I definitely wouldn't say this mascara is going to give you a fantastic runway big huge lashes by any means, But it does give the average woman fantastic looking and feeling lashes, while still feeling comfortable. 

It does come in water resistant and in three colors, Black, Brown Black and Very Black. 

I currently use the Very Black, and would try the others to see what they are like too. 

It runs for about 8$ and has lasted me a while already, and doesn't even seem to be running low at all.
Defiantly worth the money and worth a try if you like a natural eye look. 

Go try it and give your eyes a beautiful light natural look. 

The Taste: The Art of the Sandwich

The Taste is on Tuesday on ABC at 9pm
(The time has moved from 8pm to 9pm!)

So last week was a sandwich Challenge!
And to quote one of my favorite cooks on the show Khristanne
"If you cant make a sandwich, then what the hell kind of chef are you?"
Perfectly said! if you cant make a good sandwich, you should not be cooking.

So the cooks first had to create a basic club sandwich, a PB&J, or a salad sandwich like Tuna, Chicken or Egg for the guest mentors. When each person makes those sandwiches, each kitchen judge will chose one from each kitchen to be tasted by the guest mentors.
The sandwich chosen by the guest mentores will earn immunity for elimination, and his/or her team will have the help of the guest mentores to help them when making their dishes for the regular judges that night.
And big surprise, Greg won immunity.
And its a good thing, because his sandwich was terrible at the end.

Lauren won with one of the best sandwiches of the night, and it looked delicious! it made me want to try and make a spicy yogurt dressing for a sandwich real soon!
Lauren was also left the only one standing on her team when Huda was sent home.
Also sent home was Mia, the first to be send home from Anthony's kitchen.

As i said i am really routing for Khristanne to win!
i just love her! :)

NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine

With the Influesnter 2012 Holiday VoxBox I got a NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in Nude York City (Adorable name!!)

Well lets see, how much can you actually write about a lip gloss?

But let me start with how much i love it!
I love how it looks, feels, i even like how it smells.

It goes on so smooth, It feels great on your lips and is not sticky at all.

It has Vitamin E to add moisture to your lips even after it wears off.

This color is pretty sheer color with a sparkling tint to it so i can wear it any time of day, and with anything or any make up style. It looks great with a full eye of make up on a night on the town, or still looks great with no make up on a all. :)

Another bright spot of this lip gloss is the applicator brush. Its not a normal lip gloss applicator  It has the shape of a regular applicator, but has the flexibility of a brush. It is the perfect size for my lips to apply the color.

I love this lip gloss so much, i cant wait to try all the other colors they have.
In fact, i just bought Prospect Pink :D its is a sweet pop of pink that i think i will love this summer :)

I Urge you to try a shade of your favorite color. :D

The Taste: Tuesday at 8|7c on ABC

Sometimes i write blogs about things that i love, and well, i love this show!
You can simply turn on one episode, and with in one min you are sucked in and in love with it.

The show first began the season with a mixture of professional and amateur cooks competing against each other infront of four very famous chefs and food writers:
Anthony Bourdain - an American chef
Ludo Lefebvre - A French Chef
Brian Malarkey - And American Chef
and
Nigella Lawson - A Best Selling English Food writer

     On the first episode, the cooks were broken down into 4 teams, one team for judge.

These teams were chosen by the judges, but only by the taste of the food each cook created.

The judges had to vote yes or no on the chef, just by the taste of the dish they created.

Once the Celeb Chefs had chosen all their contestant, they became their mentors and teach them things in the kitchen. Now some of the cooks being professionals dont need as much teaching as the stay at home cooks, but then again some do need just as much help. 

Once the teams are chosen, Each night the cooks have to make a dish (a spoonful really) for the judges to taste. Each judge has to choose one dish that is the best of the night, and one that is the worst of the night. The best part: they still dont know who made these dishes. The could be choosing one of their own cooks as the worst, and even choose one of their competitors as the best taste of the night.
The four cooks that were chosen as the worst dishes of the night are then looked at and one of them will be sent home.

One of my favorite parts is when the judges are tasting the dishes, they are very honest about how the dishes taste, and if they hate it, they will say it out loud and say exactly what is wrong with it. And the cooks who made the dishes, are watching them as they say these things.

My favorite part of the show is watching the judges taste the food and see their reactions.
I may even get an inspiration or two for an upcoming meal ;)

Watch the latest episode Here and see how you get inspired. 

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration

Burt's Bees sent me two of their new products to try for free and write a review about them and tell the world what i thought.
They sent me two products from the new Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Line, the Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser, and the Intense Hydration Treatment Mask. Now right off the bat i was very excited because i love Burt's Bees products! i love their lip products, so when i found out that they started making a face line, that was awesome! And even on top of that, it was and Intense Hydration line!? WHAT!? i was very excited because i have very dry skin, and especially with colder winter weather hear, my skin gets really dry.

Of course because both of these are Burt's Bees products, so they are 99% natural. Also what i really like about Burt's Bees company, is that you can go on their website and find the product you want, and it will list all of the ingredients that are in that product, like they are proud of the ingredients they use, i guess thats what happens when you use natural healthy ingredients.


Lets start with the Intense Hydration Cream Cleanser
It removes makeup, dirt, sweat, oil and all the stress of a long day with its cooling ingredients like Clary Sage. It is also a cream cleaner, so it has no exfoliating beads or anything else that may irritate your skin, so even people with the most sensitive of skin will still be able to use this no problem. Speaking of skin types, you would think they because it is "Intense Moisture" that must mean someone with oily skin would not be able to use it, or it would make their skin too greasy. But that is not the case at all. They have made this cleanser for use with all skin types. No matter what your skin type you have, your skin will just drink in all of this healthy moisture and leave your skin radiant!
This is also different than most skin care sets that you would buy, or at least ones that i have tried. Have you ever washed your face with the cleanser, and for some reason, some how forget the moisturizer... and your skin is dry and tight because the cleanser has taken all your natural oils from you skin leaving it dry and tight. But this cleanser doesn't take the natural nutrients out, it puts more in because it is made from natural things! So even if you forget the moisturizer, your still good :)

Now on to the Intense Hydration Treatment Mask i also received. This is so smooth and refreshing when putting it on. Its not sticky at all like other masks can be. I love to throw my hair up and put this on and sit in a nice hot bubble bath and just relax. There is something about it that the moment you put it on your face you just feel so relaxed. You can not be angry when wearing this, its just not possible.
This mask helps your skin look and feel healthier, because it is making your skin healthier by making your skin be able to hold in its own moisture.
Also by replenishing misture into your skin, this product helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
To use it is so easy, apply a generous amount to your face and leave on for 5 to 10 minutes (or longer if you are in a bubble bath like i do :)) Then when ready to take it off, remove the large amounts of extra with a soft cloth or tissue. rub what is left on your skin in gently to leave skin feeling hydrated all day.

Also a great tip, try using this after a great work out when you are all hot and sweaty. It is just the perfect thing to cool your skin down, clean it from all the sweat and dirt, but still leave it soft and hydrated afterwords.

Wow, i think i am going to run a bubble bath and use these two products right now.

Now of course these opinions are all my own, i beg you to try the product and form your own opinion too. Have a great night.
